Calendar™, and Google Mobile™. To add Google accounts to your phone, swipe up

Phone & tablet
Your Android phone and tablet can work together to help you get the most out of both:
» Transfer media and files: Copy files to your phone and transfer them to other
devices—see Transfer files.
» Phone hotspot: If you have a Wi-Fi tablet, turn your phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot to let
your tablet access the Internet anywhere—see Wi-Fi hotspot.
» Bluetooth® accessories: If you have a Bluetooth keyboard or other accessories to use
with your tablet, remember you can use them with your phone too. To connect them,
see Connect with Bluetooth wireless.
Use a memory card
You can use your microSD card (sold separately) as portable or internal storage:
» Portable storage (default): Store your pictures, videos, audio and other media files.
You can remove the microSD card at any time and insert it in another device. The
media files that are on the microSD card can be viewed on and copied to that device.
» Internal storage: In addition to your media files, you can store some downloaded
apps. The microSD card acts as an extension of the internal storage of your phone.
Note: Not all apps work from a microSD card.
To set your microSD card to internal storage, swipe up
> Settings > Storage, then
select your microSD card and tap Menu
> Storage settings > Format as internal.
Caution: If your microSD card is set to internal storage, it is formatted and encrypted to
protect your information. If you want to use it as portable storage, or in another device,
you’ll need to reformat it. Before doing so, please remember that formatting erases all
the data stored on your microSD card.
Note: Your phone supports microSD cards up to 128 GB. Use a Class 10 microSD card
for best results.
Mount or unmount memory card
To mount an microSD card, just put it in your phone (see Insert the SIM and microSD
cards).
To unmount your microSD card (so you can take it out of your phone), swipe up
>
Settings > Storage. Then tap next to the microSD card name.
Caution: Do not remove a microSD card while your phone is using it or writing files to it.
