Common Operations
1. Powering on/off: press and hold the Home/Power button just below the phone’s
display for at least 3 seconds.
2. Wake/lock the screen: briefly press the Home/Power button to wake the phone.
Press and hold the Home/Power button for 1 second to lock it.
You can go to Settings > Sidekey Shortcuts > Opposite Sidekey to set one of the
sidekeys to light up or darken the screen.
3. Screenshots: press the lower volume sidekey and Menu button simultaneously.
4. To skip songs without waking the phone: when the screen is dark and music is
playing, you can skip songs simply by pressing the sidekey on the opposite side from
the volume control. You can turn this feature on or off under Settings > Sidekey
Shortcuts.
5. Squeezing the sidekeys: you can snap a quick photo just by squeezing and releasing
both sidekeys simultaneously (when your phone is locked, squeezing the two
sidekeys will activate the Camera, and releasing them will snap three quick photos in
succession; when unlocked, squeezing the sidekeys will just take you to Camera). You
can also customize the sidekeys for other functions like creating a new Calendar task
or Note, starting the Recorder, or launching another app; just go to Settings > Sidekey
Shortcuts > Squeezing Sidekeys.
6. Forced restart: when the screen is dark or the phone has crashed, press and hold
the power button for at least 15 seconds to force it to restart.
