Since your phone is carrier-unlocked, you can use it with any compatiable carrier. Before you get started using your X3, please keep in mind the following safety tips. First of all, do not text and drive! It is unsafe as well as against the law.
5: Power on your phone. Controls & Using The Touchscreen While your X3 smartphone certainly has a number of buttons you can push, you will control it primarily by using the touchscreen. You may wonder just how many different ways one can touch a screen, and as it turns out there are a few of them! You’ll find a handy list of the most common ones below, which includes the name for the gesture and a description how to perform it.

non-conductive gloves), the screen may not “hear” you or register your touches properly. In that case, try a different fingertip or a patch of bare skin. “Tap”: In some documentation, this may also be referred to as a “touch” or even a “click”.
In NUU documentation (and Google’s) the direction refers to the way your fingertip goes. So “swipe left” means your fingertip starts on the right side of the screen and goes to the left. That swiping left results in the app “jumping to the right” is where the potential confusion comes from.
Long-pressing the Home button, however, brings up the “Recent Apps” menu. This is a vertical list of apps that are currently active. You can slide the list up and down to see the whole list. Slide an app’s picture off the screen (left or right works) to make it inactive. This is often referred to as “killing”...
“Microphone”: Used for Google Now, OK Google, and voice-recognition. Tap the microphone and then speak when prompted. “Call”: Dials the number entered on the keypad, or if you are looking at a contact page, dials the preferred number for that contact. “Locate”: Most often found in mapping software, tapping this centers the map on your location if it was not already.

Welcome Screen: Pick your language by swiping up and down and pressing the > (or START) button. Insert SIM Card: Pops up if there’s no SIM installed. You can skip this screen. Connect to WiFi: If you’re in range of a trusted Wi-Fi hotspot, configure it and connect to it here.
Find An App, Move Apps, Add Widgets Like any good smartphone, your NUU Mobile smartphone allows you to arrange your app icons as you see fit. You’ll have several screens on which you can place your icons, each screen accessible by swiping left or right.

You may also make folders of icons. Just move one icon over another and they will automatically make a folder when the first is dropped on the second. You can rename the folder by opening it with a tap and then tapping on “Unnamed Folder”.
Like regular apps, just long-press and then drag-n-drop to place the widget. Note that each widget as a size listing underneath its picture, and this tells you how many rows and columns of icons it will take up when placed. 4x3 widget, for example, is 4 icons across and 3 high, and as a result takes up the entire width of a Home screen.
Make A Phone Call Of course, a phone should make calls, and your NUU Mobile smartphone will do just that. First, start the Phone app. It’s located on the main Home screen or can be accessed from All Apps. Press the keypad icon to bring up a numeric keypad.
Browse The Web Your phone includes Google Chrome , a web browser app from Google. It can be found on the main Home screen or in the All Apps folder. You can use Chrome to pull up pages from all over the web, and it’s particularly useful when the company or site you want to view doesn’t have a dedicated app.
Send Text Messages DO NOT TEXT AND DRIVE As always, . It’s illegal and always dangerous. Goo- gle’s voice controls, once properly set up through Google Now, are quite sufficient to text hands-free. In any case, the Messaging app is located on your Main Home Screen at the bottom.
Take Pictures We very strongly recommend installing an microSD card before using the camera! Use the microSD card so that your photos are easily transferrable. It is said that the best camera is the one you have with you, and part of the point of buying a smartphone is to have one with you as needed.
Your X3 includes a handy Notification LED in the upper-right corner of the front side. It glows red while the X3 is charging, green when it is fully charged, and blue when you have a new message waiting for you.
FM Radio You can find the FM Radio app by using the All Apps button. You must plug in a pair of headphones to use the FM radio! The headphone cable is used as the FM antenna. You can make the sound output through the phone speakers, but you still must have the headphones plugged in.
Clock The Clock app has many features to go with its world clock abilities. Set alarms, use it as a stopwatch, and even turn it into one (or more!) countdown timers. Alarm: Tap the New Alarm/+ button to add an alarm. From here you can choose the time of day, the sound the alarm makes (including music), on what days it repeats, and its name.
Stopwatch: This is a basic stopwatch with start/stop functions and a lap button . A stopped timer can be shared with the share button Gallery & Photos These two apps allow you to view, edit, and share the photos you take and save. For information on the Photos app, please consult Google’s Google+ documentation at: https://support.google.com/plus/ You can find these apps in All Apps Gallery...

Tap the Favorite//Frequent button to view your most-used contacts. The Menu//Overflow button lets you adjust list display settings, change or add ac- counts, import, explore, and otherwise manage your contacts list. Tap the Search button to search through your contacts. Just start typing to search by name, e-mail, and so on.
Music Your NUU Mobile smartphone comes with a custom music app which you can find in All Apps, titled “Music”. Once you run it, you’ll see all the music you’ve added to your phone or placed on your microSD card. This app’s custom equalizer, Snapdragon Au- dio+, helps your music sound better.
The Settings Menu The settings menu is a complex but necessary part of your smartphone. It allows you to connect to wireless networks, manage the apps stored on your phone, and change your security settings just to name a few among many options. You can find the settings menu either on one of your Home screens or in All Apps.

Language & Input: Generally you don’t have to mess with this, as the first-run configuration of your phone asked you which language you wanted to use. However, you can come here to change around your software keyboard language, personal dictionary settings, voice search configuration, and text-to-speech settings.
with TWO fingers instead of one, and you must also tap twice to select and then use a button on the screen. So, for example, to open the Settings app, you’d tap it once to se- lect it (putting an outline around it) then tap again to actually open it. Then you’d two-fin- ger scroll down to get at Accessibility.
