the language you want the devise to
use. Use the scroll menu to find your
preferred language from the list!
Step 2
You may be prompted to insert a SIM

Wi-Fi network. The phone will prompt
you to turn it on and then scan available
network. Select the correct one alone
with the password.
!
Step 3
The most important part of the set
up process is signing in to your
Google account. This will be the
main account associated with your
device.
!
Step 4
Google is now a big part of the Android experience,
offering voice search, traffic, updates, email tracking and
much more. At this point, your Android device is now set
up. Your next step should be to check for system updates.
Open the settings app and scroll to About Phone. !

!
1.3 Setting Up Your Android Account
When you set up your android phone, you will be asked to link it into a Google account.
If you don’t already use one of the Google products such as: Gmail, Picasa or YouTube.
Creating a Google Account
Step 1
Click on the Sign Up button on the
screen, Alternately, search for “Google
Account” in any search engine. Enter
your name into the boxes provided and
choose your preferred gmail.com email
address. This will be your future
username for Android.

Step 2
If the name you want is already taken,
you will be shown some alternatives. Or
you can try another of your own.
Complete the reminder of the
information, including a phone number
and alternative email address. You will
also need to complete a Captcha form and
agree to Google Terms of Services.

will help friends and family find you
on products like Google+, Gmail
chat, and several other Google

!

!
1.4Using Mobile Data
Enable a mobile Data Connection
It is not a good idea to keep your data connection open, as this can end up costing
you a lot of additional expenses. Luckily it is easy to turn it on or off as you need it,
using the quick control panel or even the main device settings.
Step 1
Not all devices will be able to
connect to a mobile data
network. If your device does not
have a SIM card, you cannot
connect it to the network and
will have to use Wi-Fi network
to get online. All phones can use
mobile data.
!
Step 2
You can enable your mobile
data connection in the Quick
Settings panel if it is enabled on
your device, or you can open the
main Settings and turn it on
from the data network, check
your cell plan to ensure you
don’t incur charges.
!
Step 3
When the connection is active
you will see a data symbol in the
status bar. Depending on your
location, and on your device
capabilities, you will either see
3G,H or 4G. 4G is the best
possible current connection, but
is not available in all areas or on
all devices.
!

!
1.5 Quick Settings
Many android devices include the ability to activate frequently used features such
as Wi-Fi, mobile data or BT from a Quick Settings panel, accessed by dragging down
from the top of the screen at any time.
Step 1
To access the Quick Settings in Lollipop,
drag a finger down the screen and over the
status bar at the top twice. The first swipe
will just open the notification panel. With
Quick Settings open, you can see which
are enabled by those lit up in white.
Standard quick settings include screen
brightness control, Wi-Fi and BT,
airplane mode, screen auto-rotate,
flashlight and location.
!
Step 2
You can access the Quick Settings at
any time, no matter if you have another
app open, so if you are using an app and
suddenly realize that you need to be
connected to the Wi-Fi network, just
swipe down twice from the top of the
screen and activate Wi-Fi. Swipe the
panel back up out of the way and you
can continue to use the app you were in.
!

!

4.2 Power Saving Tips
Short battery life has been a drawback of all smart phones for as long as they have been
around, and the problem seems to be a never-ending one. As device manufactures
improve battery technology and capacity, more power-hungry processors have become
the norm. There are several things users can do to increase the length of time between
charges.
Quick Settings
Many current Androids
devices now allow you to
quickly see and control
what services are running.
This is similar to the
Power Control widget
found on some other
devices. Although the
quick settings don’t
actually save battery
power, they do allow you
to quickly and easily keep
battery draining services
under control.
!
Power Saving Mode
Many android Smartphones
now include a Power
Saving feature which, with
the flick of a switch, can
automatically activate
several power-saving tools.
These include limiting the
performance of the CPU,
reducing the amount of
power going to the display
and turning off Haptic
Feedback. You can either
let all of these tools be
activated, or pick and
choose which to use. You
probably won’t want to
activate all of these tools all
of the time, but if you need
to squeeze a few more
hours of battery life out
before you can get to a
charger, it can work well.
!
Adjust the Backlight
Brightness
One of the quickest and
easiest ways to save some
battery juice is to turn down
the brightness of the screen
backlight. There are a couple
of different methods to do
this. Open settings >
Display > Brightness and
then move the slider down to
wherever you think is
acceptable. Less than 50% is
advised. You can also access
the brightness control from
the Notifications panel. On
that screen you should also
see Automatic Brightness.
Ticking that box will take
control of the screen
brightness out of your hands
and instead trust the phone to
decide how bright the screen
needs to be.
!

!
Disable Always-On
Mobile Data
Always-on Mobile
Data allows your
phone to be connected
almost constantly for
things like checking
for new email and
Facebook updates.
Disabling it will mean
that you have to
manually refresh an
app to check for new
messages, etc.. But
you will save quite a
lot of battery juice.
!
Turn Wi-Fi Off (or
Have it Always On)
Following a bit of a
theme, turn Wi-Fi off
when you don’t need it.
Alternatively, if you are
usually near a reliable
Wi-Fi connection, set it
to be always On. c
Wi-Fi uses less battery
than a data connection,
and When Wi-Fi is on,
3G will be off. Go to
settings > Wi-Fi. Press
the Menu button and
then choose Advanced.
Open the Wi-Fi Sleep
Policy and Choose
Never.
!
Turn Bluetooth Off
A surprisingly large
number of people
leave Bluetooth
running all the time.
Quite apart from
being a bit of a
security issue,
Bluetooth will also
use up a big chuck
of your battery
power over the
course of a day, even
if not actually
sending or receiving
files. To turn off BT
go to Settings > BT.
You can also control
BT. You can also
control BT with the
quick settings.
!
Reduce Update
Frequency
If you don’t want to
disable Always-On
Mobile Data, you can
go into each app which
updates regularly and
change their individual
settings to update less
regularly. Where you
will find this settings
varies between apps,
but it will usually be in
the main settings menu
for the app, sometimes
under notifications.
You can also change
the update and sync
frequency of some
apps by going to
Settings > Account and
Sync.!
