Apps14
Tip: Choose your apps and updates
carefully, from trusted sites like Market,
as some may impact your phone’s
performance—see “Choose Carefully” on
page 15.
•To read about or download an app in
Market, touch it.
Note: When installing an app, make
sure you read the alerts that tell you
what information the app will access. If
you don’t want the app to have access
to this information, cancel the
installation.
•To show your downloaded apps in
Market, touch My apps.
Tips & tricks: Apps
•To show the last few apps you’ve used,
touch and hold Home .
•To make your apps update
automatically, touch > (in the top
right) > Menu > My apps, touch an
app to open details, then touch the
Allow automatic updating checkbox.
•To uninstall or manage apps, from the
home screen touch Menu > Settings
> Applications > Manage
applications, then touch an app.
Recent Apps
Touch and hold Home to show the last
few apps you used, then touch the app
you want. Touch Home to return to the
home screen.
Manage & Restore Apps
Find it: Menu > Settings >
Applications > Manage applications
Touch an app in the list, then choose
Uninstall (for apps you downloaded),
Clear cache, Move to SD card (for
downloaded apps), or other options.
Android Market is also available on your
computer—go to market.android.com.

Apps 15
Sign in to browse and manage apps for all
your Android™ devices.
If you have trouble removing an app, turn
off your phone, then turn it back
on—when you see the “Motorola” logo
during power-up, press and hold both
volume keys until you see the home
screen. Your screen will show Safe Mode
in the lower left corner, and you can
remove the app.
To reinstall apps from Android Market,
touch > (in the top right) > My apps.
The apps you downloaded are listed and
available for download.
Choose Carefully
Apps are great. There's something for
everyone. Play, communicate, work, or
have fun. But remember, choose your
apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
• To help prevent spyware, phishing, or
viruses from affecting your phone or
privacy, use apps from trusted sites, like
Market .
• In Market , check the apps’ ratings and
comments before installing.
• If you doubt the safety of an app, don't
install it.
• Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up
memory, data, battery, and processing
power—some more than others. For
example, a simple battery level widget will
use less than a streaming music player
app. After installing an app, if you're not
happy with how much memory, data,
battery or processing power it's using,
uninstall it. You can always install it again
later.
• Just like web browsing, you may want to
monitor childrens’ access to apps to help
prevent exposure to inappropriate content.
• Certain apps may not provide completely
accurate information. Take care, especially
when it comes to personal health.

Calls16
Update Your Phone
You can use your phone or computer to
check, download, and install phone software
updates:
• Using your phone:
If your phone notifies you about an update,
follow the instructions to download and
install it.
To manually check for updates,
touch Menu >
Settings > About
phone > System updates .
Your phone downloads any updates over
your mobile network. Remember, these
updates can be quite large (25MB or more)
and may not be available in all countries. If
you don’t have an unlimited data plan, or
mobile network updates are not available
in your country, you can update using a
computer.
• Using your computer:
On your computer, go to
www.motorola.com/support and check the
“Software” links. If an update is available,
just follow the installation instructions.
