device:

Never lose your contacts again. When you sign in to your phone with a Google account, all the  
contacts you associate with that account in the People app are automatically backed up. As a result,  
they're always accessible through your Gmail account from any computer.  
Synchronize and back up everything. Whether you draft an email, add a contact's phone  
number, add an event to your calendar, or take a photo, your work gets backed up continuously by  
Google and synchronized with any computer where you use the same Google Account.

Access from anywhere. Check your latest calendar, email, text messages, or social stream,  
wherever you are, no matter what computer or mobile device you're using.  
Keep your stuff secure and available. Google works round the clock to protect your personal  
data from unauthorized access and to ensure that you get it when you need it, wherever you need it.  
Use other Google services. Your Google Account also lets you take full advantage of any other  
Google apps and services that you may want to use, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Navigation,  
Android Market, YouTube, Google Talk, Messaging, and many more.

Optimize data usage  
Data usage refers to the amount of data uploaded or downloaded by your device during a given period.  
Depending on the device and your wireless plan, you may be charged additional fees when your data  
usage exceeds your plan's limit.  
To monitor your data usage, adjust your data usage settings. First check your plan and determine what  
data limits may apply.  
Warning! The usage displayed on the data usage settings screen is measured by your phone. Your carrier's data usage  
accounting may differ. Usage in excess of your carrier plan's data limits can result in steep overage charges. The  
feature described here can help you track your usage, but is not guaranteed to prevent additional charges.  
Data usage settings allow you to:

touch the Menu icon , then Show W-Fi usage.  
Near the top of the screen, note the on-off switch for mobile data. The  
instructions that follow assume that this switch is turned on. If it's off,  
you won't be able to use mobile data at all and many features of your  
phone and apps won't work correctly.  
Just below the on-off switch, note the data usage cycle. Touch it to  
choose a different cycle. This date range is the period of time for which  
the graph displays data usage.  
The vertical white lines on the graph show a period of time within the  
data usage cycle. This range determines the usage amount displayed  
just below the graph. Drag lines to change the period.

View or restrict data usage by app  
Some apps transfer data in the background; that is, when you're not actually using the app, it may  
download data for future reference. Restricting background data usage for individual apps can  
sometimes be a useful way to reduce your overall data usage. However, this is a drastic measure that  
may also affect the app's performance or cause it to malfunction. Check whether data usage can be  
restricted from the app's own settings (available from within the app) before restricting it here.  
1
Make sure you're viewing the network for which you want to view or restrict app data usage. If more  
than one is displayed, you can switch between them by touching tabs at the top of the screen.  
2
Scroll down to find the app whose data usage you want to view.  
The blue bar for each app indicates its total data usage for the cycle displayed above the main  
graph, near the top of the screen.

To see more details for an app, touch its name.  
The main graph switches to show just this app's data usage for the specified cycle. Below the main  
graph, a pie chart breaks out foreground versus background data usage for this app.

Optimize memory usage  
You typically don't need to worry about managing apps beyond installing, opening, and using them. But  
there may be times when you want to know more about what's happening behind the scenes.  
Apps use two kinds of memory: internal storage and RAM. They use internal storage for themselves and  
any files, settings, and other data they use. They also use RAM (memory designed for temporary storage  
and fast access) when they're running.  
Android manages and carefully guards the portion of internal storage where the system, apps, and most  
data for those apps are stored, because this area may contain your private information. It's not possible  
to view this portion of internal storage when you connect your device to a computer with a USB cable.  
The other portion of internal storage, where music, downloaded files, and so on are stored, remains  
visible for your convenience.  
Android also manages how apps use RAM. It may cache some things you've been using recently, for  
quicker access if you need them again, but it will erase the cache if it needs the RAM for new activities.  
You affect the way apps use internal storage directly and indirectly in many ways; for example, by:  
G
G
G
G
G
Installing or uninstalling apps.  
Downloading files in Browser, Gmail, and other apps.  
Creating files (for example, by taking pictures).  
Deleting downloaded files or files you created.  
Copying files between your device and a computer via USB or Bluetooth.  
You rarely need to manage the way apps use RAM. But you can monitor apps' RAM usage and stop them  
if they misbehave.

the graph, touch Show cached processes or Show running services to switch back and forth.  
G
All. Displays all apps that came with Android and all apps you downloaded from Android Market or  
other sources.

Connect to Wi-Fi networks  
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100  
meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.  
To use Wi-Fi, you connect to a wireless access point, or "hotspot." Some hotspots are open and you can  
simply connect to them. Others implement security features that require other steps to set up, such as  
digital certificates or other ways to ensure that only authorized users can connect.  
To extend the life of your battery between charges, turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it. You can also  
set your device to disconnect automatically from Wi-Fi networks when it's sleeping.

Connect to Bluetooth devices  
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology used to communicate between devices  
over a distance of about 8 meters. The most common Bluetooth devices are headsets for making calls  
or listening to music, hands-free kits for cars, and other portable devices, including laptops.  
There are several Bluetooth profiles that define the features and communications standards for  
Bluetooth devices. For a list of the profiles supported by your device, read the owner's guide.  
To connect to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on your phone's Bluetooth radio. The first time you use a  
new Bluetooth device, you must “pair” it with, so that both devices know how to connect securely to each  
other. After that, they connect automatically.  
To extend the life of your battery between charges, turn off Bluetooth when you're not using it. You may  
also be required to turn Bluetooth off in some locations. Bluetooth is turned off when you switch to  
Airplane mode.

Connect to a Windows computer via USB  
You can use a USB cable to connect your phone to a Windows computer and transfer music, pictures,  
and other files in both directions. This connection uses the MTP protocol, which is supported by most  
recent versions of Windows.  
If you are using USB tethering, you must turn that off before you can use USB to transfer files between  
your tablet and computer.  
When you connect your phone to the USB port on your computer, its USB storage is mounted as a drive  
and appears on your computer screen. You can now copy files back and forth as you would using any  
other external device.  
When you're finished, simply disconnect the phone by unplugging the USB cable.

Connect to a Macintosh computer via USB  
You can use a USB cable to connect your phone to a computer running Mac OS X with a USB cable and  
transfer music, pictures, and other files in both directions.  
This connection uses the MTP protocol, which is not supported by Mac OS X natively. Therefore, you first  
need to install the free Android File Transfer application on your Macintosh. It's available from  
www.android.com/filetransfer, along with instructions on how to install it.  
After you install Android File Transfer, follow these steps:  
1
If you are using Android File Transfer for the first time, double-click it to open it.  
After you start Android File Transfer once, it opens automatically whenever you connect your device  
to your computer.  
2
Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable.  
Android File Transfer starts, if it's not already running, and opens a window that displays the contents of  
your device, along with storage space details at the bottom of the window.  
You work with this window much as if it were a Finder window: opening and closing folders, creating new  
folders, and dragging files to or from it and other Finder windows. Disconnect the USB cable when you're  
finished.

Encrypt your phone  
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music and other media,  
downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you  
turn on your phone. Note that this is the same PIN or password that you use to unlock your phone  
without encryption, and cannot be set independently.  
Warning! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset,  
which erases all your data.  
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be required or  
recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many  
cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.  
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:  
1
Set a lock screen PIN or password.  
Charge the battery.

Plug in your phone.  
Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not interrupt it or you will lose some  
or all of your data.

Work with certificates  
You can use digital certificates to identify your device for a variety of purposes, including VPN or Wi-Fi  
network access as well as authentication to servers by apps such as Email or Browser. To use a  
certificate to identify your device, you must obtain it with help from your system administrator, and install  
it in your device's trusted credential storage .  
Android supports DER-encoded X.509 certificates, saved in files with a .crt or .cer file extension. If your  
certificate file has a .der or other extension, you must change it to .crt or .cer or you won't be able to  
install it.  
Android also supports X.509 certificates saved in PKCS#12 key store files with a .p12 or .pfx extension. If  
your key store has some other extension, you much change it to .p12 or .pfx or you won't be able to install  
it. When you install a certificate from a PKCS#12 key store, Android also installs any accompanying  
private key or certificate authority certificates.

If prompted, enter the key store password and touch OK.  
Enter a name for the certificate and touch OK.  
Typically, a CA certificate included with a client certificate is installed at the same time. You can also  
install separate CA certificates using the same steps.  
If you have not already set a pattern, PIN, or password for your device, you're prompted to set one up. The  
type of lock that's acceptable may be predetermined by your system administrator.  
You can now use the certificate that you installed when connecting to a secure network or for client  
authentication with Email, Browser, and third-party apps. After a certificate is installed successfully, the  
copy in storage is deleted.  
Important Apps such as Email and Browser that support certificates allow you to install certificates directly from within the app.  
For details, see the Help or other instructions that come with each app.
