Getting to know your phone
To protect your phone and personal data, download applications only from trusted
sources, such as Play Store. If some applications are not properly installed on your
phone, your phone may not work properly- or serious errors may occur. You will need to
uninstall those applications and all of its data and settings from the phone.

6. Opening and switching applications
Multitasking is easy with Android because you can keep more than one
application running at the same time. There's no need to quit an application
before opening another. Use and switch between several open applications.
Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed
to ensure that idle applications don't consume resources unnecessarily.
