To turn your device on or off, place your finger on the Power key and hold for five
seconds.
If you power up the device before having inserted the SIM card, the Smartphone will
display “No SIM Card” on the screen. After you’ve inserted the SIM card, the phone
will automatically check if the SIM is useable.

indeed in charging mode. If the Smartphone was used even after there was
insufficient power to do so, it might take some time, when charging in powered
off mode, for the screen indicator to appear.
¾ When the battery level icon does not flash anymore, this means that the battery is
fully charged. If charging while powered off, there will still be an indication on
the screen to show that the charging is complete. This process usually takes more
7
than 2.5 hours (The first three times you recharge, it is recommended that you
charge for up to 14 hours, as this will help extend battery life).The Smartphone
and charger may become warm during charging; this is normal.
¾ When charging is complete, unplug the charge connector from the electrical
outlet and the mobile phone.
ATTENTION:
Charging must be performed in a well-ventilated area with temperatures between -
10˚C and +45˚C. The factory charger supplied in the box must be used. Using an
unapproved charger could be dangerous in addition to being in breach of the
provisions of the repair warranty.
If the mobile phone automatically shuts down, or indicates that “Battery Is Low” you
should immediately charge the battery. If the battery has not been entirely used up
before charging, the mobile phone will automatically decrease the recharging period.

COMMON TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
Problem: The battery runs flat too fast
This is one of the most often Android problems. Unfortunately, we have to face the fact that our
Android device will never run for as long as old simple mobile phones used to some years
ago. This is the price we have to pay for having the smartest devices in the world.
However, we can always do something to extend the battery life here and there and, overall, the
above price won't be so high! :)
Solution: To put it simply, you have to get rid of anything that's eating up your battery
unnecessarily. In most cases, this will be WiFi (enabled and not used), GPS, a number of
unnecessary apps running in the background, screen brightness set to maximum or ads from
free apps and games for Android. You should also use some battery app to manage apps or/and
some Android app killer.
If your battery is running flat and you cannot charge your phone, you should turn Power Saver. In
my IDROID, you can activate it by dragging the top part of the screen down and then checking
Power Saver (see the screenshots below).
21
P: A small popup menu doesn't appear after holding the power button
Problem: This is also one of the most often encountered Android problems. When you hold the
power button for a few seconds, a small Phone options menu (like the one on the screenshot)
will or, at least, should appear.
This menu allows you to power off your phone, turn off or on airplane mode or restart your phone.
However, in my previous phone (IDROID Desire S) at some point this function simply stopped
working and the phone wouldn't react to holding the power button.
Solution: This Android problem is a real pain in the neck. Unfortunately, restarting the phone or
turning it off and on didn't help. The only thing that worked was restoring factory settings.
22
To do that, do go Settings > Backup & reset > Reset Phone. Before you do that, remember to
backup your settings with either a third party app or use the default function also available
under Backup & reset > Backup & restore.
Backlight turns on and off on its own
Problem: This is not the most serious problem in the world but it can be a bit annoying when
your phone, out of the blue, turns the screen on in the middle of the night just to turn it off in a
few seconds. I guess it can also significantly reduce the battery life.
Solution:
Restored factory settings. To do that, go to Settings > Backup & reset > Reset Phone. Remember
about backup.
The phone doesn't respond at all
Problem: It may happen that your Android phone or Android tablet will not respond at all. I
ended a call, the phone froze so I waited, waited, waited. The screen turned off and the phone
behaved as if it was turned off). In such a situation, we usually remove the battery.
Solution: When the phone is unresponsive, it's usually a good idea to restart it. You can do that
by holding the power button for a few seconds and then tapping Restart phone. This solves the
problem in most cases.
23
You can also remove the battery (if you have one), which always helps. After that the phone
automatically restarted and everything went back to normal.
Android corrects my words without even asking
Problem: Have you ever happened to send a totally stupid SMS to someone just because your
Android device knew better what you wanted to type?
In most cases, this doesn't happen very often but once it does you may want to get rid of the
auto-correct feature.
Solution: You may want to turn off auto correction. Not all Android devices are equipped with
that feature by default (my iDroid was just suggesting words, not auto-correcting them, but
when I installed SwiftKey keyboard the function was enabled).
To turn it off, go to Settings > Language & input >Android Keyboard > Auto correction and
select "off."
I use a third party launcher but it occasionally switches back to the default
one (e.g. YANDEX 3D)
24
Problem: You decided to use a third party launcher (e.g. Nova Launcher or GO Launcher) but
every time you switch between apps or, worse, restart your phone it switches back to the default
launcher and you lose all your settings, widgets etc.
This is very annoying but you can easily get rid of that problem.
Solution: All you have to do is set your third party launcher as a default launcher and the
problem will disappear. Just tape the Home button two times (quickly) and the phone will
ask Complete the action using so choose your launcher and press Always.
Someone's bothering me. How do I block them?
Problem: We gave our number to the wrong person who's now bothering us. There has been
some fuss and you are receiving calls from a person from the other side of the globe. You are
receiving tons of SMS ads, which is driving you crazy. Whatever your problem is, if you have an
Android device, you can easily get rid of it.
Solution: Thanks to Android being the most popular mobile platform in the world, you have a
great number of apps to choose from, including apps for blocking calls and SMS.
I recommend using SPC, a very simple but powerful app with advanced options, such as,
blocking calls, SMS, blacklists, white lists and many more. If you want to discover more call
blockers, check free call blocker for Android.
25
The screen orientation changes too often
Problem: Some people simply cannot stand it when the screen orientation of their Android phone
changes whenever they lie down or make a quick hand movement when typing. This, in fact, can
be a bit irritating, but you can easily deal with it.
Solution: All you have to do is turn off the auto rotate option. To do that, go
to Settings > Display, gestures & buttons and uncheck Auto rotate screen. Done! The screen will
never rotate without your permission!
