Apps
Hangouts
This instant messaging app allows you to configure your email address and telephone
number so that you can chat with your contacts. You can also set this app as the default
choice for sending SMS.
Calendar
With the Calendar tool you can manage your daily tasks and sync them with your email
account so that you can share appointments, meetings and events with your contacts. It
also enables you to set up reminder alerts and notifications so that you never miss an
appointment. The app also allows you to sync your calendar so you can view it from any
other mobile device.
You can create a new event by pressing the icon in the bottom right corner. You can specify
the date and time of the event, its location, the people invited, enable and disable alerts, add
a description of the event and even configure the availability status that will be shown while
you are attending the event.
Maps and GPS Navigation
Your smartphone comes with a preinstalled Maps application which enables you to find
your current location on the map (for greater accuracy, enable the GPS), view satellite
images or even an actual view of a given location. You can also select the Navigation option
to enable your device to give you instructions on how to reach your destination from your
current position, whether travelling on foot or by car. It also provides a location service to
identify affiliated companies and establishments.
Please note that all this information (including maps) is not loaded on your phone and each
time you browse you will need to use data. This can incur additional cost depending on the
rate you have contracted with your mobile phone service operator.
News and Weather (Genie Widget)
This app offers services such as real-time weather information, international news headlines,
etc. Your Home screen can hold up to three different widgets, allowing you to access information
quickly and easily. These three widgets include both weather and news; you can choose to
display them both simultaneously if desired.
For more information on how to add widgets to your phone, see the section on customising your
in this manual.
BQ Plus
BQ offers you the option of taking out insurance for your device during the first 15 days after
turning on your phone. You can find all the information about the coverage and and terms and
