corresponding application on the receiving device. For example, if you send
a calendar event to a compatible phone, the event is shown in that phone’s
calendar application.
If you send another file type to a Windows computer, it is normally saved in
the Bluetooth Exchange folder within your personal document folders.
On Windows XP, the path may be:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\Bluetooth
Exchange
On Windows Vista, the path may be:
C:\Users\[your username]\Documents
On Windows 7, the path may be:
C:\Users\[your username]\My Documents\Bluetooth Exchange Folder

type. For example, if you send an image file to another mobile phone, it may
be saved in a folder named “Images”.
Receiving information using Bluetooth
Your phone is capable of receiving a wide variety of file types with Bluetooth,
including photos, music tracks, and documents such as PDFs.
To receive files using Bluetooth, you need to have a microSD card on your phone.
The first time you transfer information between your phone and another device, you

Optimizing your phone’s battery life
When you’re on the go, it’s not always easy to charge your phone’s battery as often as
you’d like. Follow these tips to extend the time between charges:
Turn off wireless functions such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and data connection
when you’re not using them. See the Internet connections and Bluetooth
chapters for details.
Use GSM networks. See “Using the GSM network of your mobile operator” in
this chapter for details.
Do not use GPS satellites to determine your GPS location. See the Maps and
location chapter for details.
Lower the screen brightness. See “Adjusting the screen brightness manually”
in this chapter for details.
Switch off screen animations. See “Switching animation effects on or off” in
this chapter for details
Cut down on activities such as Internet browsing. Wireless data consumes a
lot of power.
Avoid making very long phone calls or using the camera for extended periods
of time.
Consider carrying a spare battery for times when you can’t charge your
battery for an extended period.
Batteries gradually lose storage capacity over time. Consider replacing your
battery after eight months to a year, or if you notice that the battery life is
decreasing.
Using the GSM network of your mobile operator
Switch to using the GSM network of your mobile operator if you are not using a data
connection to connect to the Internet. Connecting to your mobile operator’s GSM
network consumes less battery power.
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless &
networks.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap Mobile networks > Network mode.
Tap GSM only.
Checking the power usage of applications
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap About phone > Battery > Battery use.

Update and reset
Updating the phone software
From time to time, software updates for your phone may be available. Your phone can
check and then notify you if there’s a new update. You can then download and install
the software update using your phone’s Wi-Fi or data connection.
Checking and downloading phone software updates may incur additional data transfer fees
from your mobile operator.
Make sure you have your microSD card on your phone. The update will be downloaded to
the microSD card.
Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and
customized settings, and also remove any applications you have installed. Make sure
that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep.
When there is an update available, the Install system software update dialog
box will appear onscreen. Select Install now and then tap OK.
If you’re in the middle of a call and there’s an update available, you’ll receive
an update notification. After you end the call, slide open the Notifications
panel (see “Opening the Notifications panel” in the Getting started chapter).
Then tap the update notification to download and install the software update.
Wait for the update process to finish. When the update is finished, the phone will
automatically reset.
Checking for phone system software updates manually
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap About phone > System software updates.
On the System software update screen, tap Check now.

198 Update and reset
Restarting or factory resetting your phone
If your phone becomes unresponsive or sluggish, try restarting your phone and see if
that helps. In case your phone has a persistent problem that cannot be solved, the last
resort is to do a factory reset.
Restarting your phone (soft reset)
If your phone is running slower than normal, an application is not performing properly,
or your phone becomes unresponsive, try restarting your phone and see if that helps
solve the problem.
To restart your phone, simply turn it off and back on. If pressing and holding the
POWER button doesn’t work, then remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, reinsert
the battery, and then turn the phone on.
Performing a factory reset (hard reset)
If you’re passing your phone on to someone else or your phone has a persistent
problem that cannot be solved, you can do a factory reset (also called a hard reset).
This returns your phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on.
Factory reset will not remove the data and files that are in your phone’s microSD card.
Factory reset is not a step to be taken lightly. It will permanently delete all your data
and customized settings, and will also remove any applications you’ve downloaded
and installed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a
factory reset.
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
From the Home screen, press MENU, then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase
everything.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a
factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then
briefly press the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release
the VOLUME DOWN button.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

A Standby time specification (“specification”) is an industry standard that is only intended to allow
comparison of different mobile phones under the same circumstances. Power consumption in a
standby state is strongly dependent on factors including but not limited to network, settings, location,
movement, signal strength and cell traffic. Comparisons of different mobile phones using such a
specification can therefore only be done in a controlled laboratory environment. When using any mobile
phone in real life circumstances for which the mobile phone is intended, the standby time could be
considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors as mentioned above.
Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
