The ViewPad7 runs Android 2.2 operating system.
Press an empty area on the desktop for about one second to open the "Add to Home
screen" menu. Select Shortcuts > Applications > then choose the appropriate application.
Alternately, long press on an icon in the applications menu to drag-and-drop a shortcut
onto the Home screen.
Press an empty area on the desktop for about one second to open the "Add to Home
screen" menu. This menu allows you to change the wallpaper, add widgets, create folders
for organizing data, and create shortcuts to your favorite contacts, Internet bookmarks,
applications and more.
Press and hold the application shortcut icon. You will see a trash can appear on the right
side of your home screen. Drag the icon into the trash and the shortcut will be deleted.
This only deletes the shortcut, not the application itself.
Press and hold the HOME button to display the most recently used applications. Tap on
an icon to open the app.
Tap the dots in the bottom left or right corners of your Home screen to move to the next
screen over. Alternately, hold the launcher icon until icons appear for each Home. Then
simply tap the screen you wish to view.
In the Market, select My Apps, tap the name of the app you wish to uninstall, then press
the Uninstall button. You may also go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >
Downloaded and from there select the app and press Uninstall.
Live wallpaper is an interactive background that may respond to touch or music, or
stream data from the Web.
To select a live wall paper, on the home screen press Menu > Wallpaper > Live
wallpapers.
More live wallpapers are available on the Android Market. When you download and install
a live wallpaper from the Market , it will automatically appear in the menu of available
wallpapers.
Use the Google Search Bar widget to search contacts, apps or the web. Simply input
keywords into the search box and hit the search button. To limit your search to a
particular type of data, tap the "g" icon and select Web, Apps or Contacts. Tap the
microphone icon to input your search query by voice.
You can also access Google Search through the applications launcher.
The Google account you first use when setting up your ViewPad will be the primary
account associated with the device. All Google services such as GMail, Calendar, Maps
and Android Market will be tied to that account. There is no option to change or remove
this account.
The only way to remove the primary Google account is to restore the device to its factory
default setting. You can do this in the Settings menu under Privacy > Factory data reset.
Performing factory reset will erase all personal data from the device, including system
and applications data, settings, downloaded applications and your Google account.
Current system and bundled applications, as well as SD card files such as music and
photos, will not be removed.
