5.0 Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is there a software update available for my phone?
All firmwares are posted on http://downloads.pointofview-online.com
2) I downloaded [app name] and it doesn’t work (properly)?
Some applications are specifically developed for tablets or big screen phones and
might not have support for Android devices with smaller screens. Try to update the
software or find a compatible alternative app. This incompatibility can also occur with
software written for previous Android versions.
3) How can I manually install an APK file?
By default, it is not possible to manually install APK files. To enable this you have to
enable the ‘Unknown sources’ setting. This can be found in the ‘Settings’ menu ->
‘Security’.
4) My battery is only lasting xx hours!
The operating time of the phone on one battery load depends very much on the
specific tasks that it has to perform. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and other wireless
communication technologies are known to consume a lot of power. Also CPU
intensive applications such as games and HD video clips can use up the power of the
battery fast.
To maximize the duration of your battery, you can optimize the following settings:
- Choose a low or dynamic screen brightness
- A short press on the power button will directly place the phone in standby mode
- Download an ‘App killer’ to clear the memory from previous started apps
- Disable Wireless devices when not using them
- Remove USB devices (these use power as well)
- Avoid use/charging in extremely hot or cold environments
5) Can the phone charge through USB?
Yes, however it will charge quite slow due to the limited power the USB port
(500mAh) can supply. The charger can supply more power and will charge much
faster.
