Applications
Hangouts
This instant messaging app allows you to communicate with your contacts. Enter your email
address and telephone number to use it. You can also set this app as the default choice for
sending SMS.
Calendar
Manage your daily tasks with the Calendar tool and sync them with your email account. This
enables you to 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.
To create a new event tap the icon in the bottom right corner. You can specify the date
and time of an event, the location of a meeting and even the people invited, as well as enable
or disable alerts, add an event description and even set the availability status your contacts
will see while you are attending a meeting.
Maps and GPS Navigation
Your smartphone includes a Maps application which enables you to find your current
location (enable GPS for greater accuracy), view satellite imagery and even see actual
pictures of a given location. Selecting the navigation option enables the device to guide
you to your destination from your current position, whether travelling on foot or by car. This
app features a service which locates affiliated companies and establishments.
Please note that none of this information (not even the maps) is preloaded onto your
device, which means an internet connection will be required whenever navigation is used.
Additional charges may be applied depending on the contract you have with the mobile
telephony provider.
News and Weather (Genie Widget)
This app offers real-time weather reports and international news of general interest. Besides
the application, your smartphone’s home screen can hold up to three different widgets, offering
faster and more convenient access to information. These three widgets include weather
information, international news or both at the same time.
For more information on how to add widgets to the desktop, see the customising the
Home
screen section in this manual.
BQ Plus
BQ offers the option of taking out insurance for your device. This can be done within 15 days from
first turning it on. More information is available on the coverage and terms at bq.com/bq-plus
