User Manual

In most apps you can touch or for app-specific settings. Be sure to see what options are available to
you there, too.
Manage cellular data
Understand your data usage. Keep an eye on your data usage and learn how to make the most of it. See
which apps use large amounts of data and adjust their settings. If your phone is using too much data, you
can also stop accounts from auto-syncing.
Use Wi-Fi to conserve cellular data. When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your data will use that network
connection instead of your carrier's network, saving your cellular data for when you need it. Learn how to
connect to Wi-Fi networks.
Useful to know
Find phone info. To find your phone number, device name, and other information, go to Settings > About
phone.
Tell your phone what to do. Use your phone hands-free with voice commands. Tell it to navigate you, and
listen to it speak the directions to you as you drive--it'll even reroute you if you've gone off course. Tell it to
set alarms, find information on the web, make calls.
Never miss a photo opportunity. Automatically open the camera right from your lock screen. Just twist
your phone twice. You can automatically back up your photos and videos with your Google account or with
other photo sharing apps available from Play Store.
Wi-Fi hotspot. You can use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to share your internet connection with your other
devices that need internet access (for example, a laptop or tablet).
Reboot phone. In the unlikely event that your phone becomes unresponsive, frozen, shows a blank or black
screen, or doesn't respond to the Power button, you can reboot it. Press and hold the Power button for 7 -
10 seconds. The phone will restart normally.
Certain features, services, and applications are network or carrier dependent and may not be available in all
areas.
If you had an iPhone
Welcome to Android! Here are some differences between your old iPhone and your new phone.
Your assistant: You've retired Siri. Now, find info and get things done with Google Assistant. Just set up
“OK, Google”. Then ask for info or help with everyday tasks.
Apps:
•
Goodbye Apple App Store, hello Google Play Store. Play Store is now your default app store. Apps aren't
compatible between iPhone and Android. However, many developers make iPhone and Android
versions of their apps; if the app stores your data online, then you can switch with little effort. Just
download the Android version from Play Store and log in.
•
Continue listening to podcasts. You can listen with the YT Music app. Or, there are lots of podcast apps
on Play Store - search for “podcast” in Play Store and download one of your choice.
•
Install apps remotely. On a computer, visit play.google.com. Browse apps on the bigger screen and then
install them on your phone from your computer.
Your home screen:
•
On your old iPhone, your home screen was far left. Now, you start with one home screen and can add
more pages to the right as needed.
