Using Your Mini 3i Smartphone

Accessing and Using Other 

Applications

In addition to the applications that ship with 

your phone for communication, productivity, and 

entertainment, you can download applications 

from the online sources provided by your 

service carrier, or from other sources on the 

Internet. 
Regardless of the applications you plan to use, 

there are a few short steps and tips that apply to 

all applications:

To browse and select an application to use, 

• 

you must access the Home screen. If your 

phone is in a sleep or hibernate mode with 

an active screensaver, tap and hold the 

moving circle, and drag it to the gray circle 

at the bottom of the screen.
To open a program, tap an icon once.

• 

To view all of the application and shortcut 

• 

icons on your screen, you may need to swipe 

your finger across the screen in a rapid 

motion to move the focus from right to left, 

and so forth.
To move or delete an icon, press and hold 

• 

the icon, and follow the instructions on the 

screen. 

NOTE:

 Icons of certain applications may be 

locked in position by the service carrier.

To add an application or shortcut, press and 

• 

hold an empty space on the Home screen 

and follow the instructions that appear on 

the screen. 
To protect your applications, settings, and 

• 

data, it is recommended that you back up the 

information regularly to a microSD card.

NOTE:

 For information on backing up data,
