Getting Started With Your New Samsung GALAXY Phone
Not sure how to set up your shiny new Samsung GALAXY? We’re here to help! Just
follow this setup guide and you’ll be able to take advantage of everything your new
device has to offer.
Let’s start with the basics.
When turning your phone on for the first time you’ll be presented with the screen
below, where you will choose the default language you’d like to use with your phone.
Hit Next in the bottom right corner if you’re satisfied with the language you have
selected. The next step will prompt you to set up your Wi-Fi connection; if you wish to
do so at this time, turn it on by toggling the switch in the top right corner, otherwise hit
Next to continue without configuring your Wi-Fi.

We’ll skip the Wi-Fi setup and proceed to the next step which is a confirmation that you
agree to the Samsung End User License Agreement. You must check the “I understand
and agree to the terms and conditions above” to proceed, however, you do not need to
agree to send Samsung any error log data if you do not wish to provide this information.
Hit Next to proceed.

The next step in the setup process asks if you have an existing Google account to add to
your new Samsung GALAXY. We’ll proceed to set up a new account just in case you’re
new to Android and do not have an existing Gmail account. If you already have a Gmail
account feel free to hit Yes in this process and enter your credentials to continue.
After selecting No, you’ll be presented with the screen below. Please click Get an
account to continue and enter your name in the next screen. The next step prompts you
to enter the user name for your new Google account, which is your Gmail address as
well.

The next step in creating your account is setting up Google password recovery options
using SMS or an alternate email address, such as a Yahoo Canada email. Feel free to set
this up if needed, but we will skip this option within this guide.
Next you’ll be prompted to enable some of Google’s cloud based services, such as the
Backup & Restore function which copies your app list, app and system settings as well as
your Wi-Fi passwords. Additional services include location based data and
communications from Google regarding news and offers.
The final step in the account setup process is to accept a multitude of Google’s Terms of
Services and enter in the captcha text displayed to complete the account setup.

During the setup process you’ll be prompted to join Google’s social media platform,
Google+. We will skip this part of the process as it’s not critical to your GALAXY phone at
this time. Please select Not now to proceed.
You’ll also be given the option to enter your credit card information with Google Wallet
if you wish. It is recommended that this information is entered as without it, you’re
unable to purchase any applications, movies, books or other media from Google’s Play
Store. If you do not wish to enter your credit card information, Rogers customers have
the ability to pay for content using their Rogers bill which can be associated with your
Google wallet.
