Alcatel Idol Mini - User Manual

FAQ’s Idol Mini
Q: How do I access menu functions when in an app?
A: The User Interface on the ONETOUCH Idol Mini is made to be simple and intuitive so for that
reason we have chosen to make the “Menu” key also serve as your “Multi-Tasking” key. This
means you can quickly and easily access your Menu with one tap or you can press and hold
down for 1 second to bring up all your recently opened apps.
The Menu functionality can be seen throughout the entire user interface and will be necessary
to perform tasks such as deleting a contact or opening a new Incognito Tab in the Google
Chrome browser. The Multi-Tasking key will allow you to close all applications that are running
in the background in order to keep your device running smoothly, simply by clicking “Clear All.”
Q: How do I set an alarm?
A: Our phones come with an alarm clock; you can
find it by selecting the “Time” app and then
selecting “Alarm” along the bottom. Create a new
alarm by clicking on the “+” at the top of the screen.
Q: How do I change my lock/home screen
background?
A: Click the same “Menu” button as above and choose
“Wallpaper” out of the list of options. You then have
several choices depending on whether you want a
“Live” or “Video,” wallpaper or just prefer a static
picture from the photo or wallpaper “Gallery.” Then
select the background that suits you and click “Set
wallpaper.”
Q: How do I change my message
notification sound?
A: Open up your Messaging app, select the “Menu”
key and then “Settings,” then scroll down and select
”Notifications,” you will then click “Select ringtone.”
Choose the one you prefer and click “OK.”
Q: Can I set a unique ringtone for my
contacts?
A: Yes simply go into your People app, select the
contact you would like to have a unique ringtone,
bring up the “Menu” and select “Set ringtone.”
Choose the one you prefer and click “OK.”
