3.4 My customized wallpaper automatically stretches. Can I set it to not stretch?

No. You can install a third-party application to implement this function.

3.5 How do I enter recovery mode and restore my phone to its factory settings?

When an upgrade package is available on your microSD card or the download for an online

upgrade is complete, with the phone off, press the power and volume down keys to enter

recovery mode. In recovery mode, you can press the volume keys to select the desired option.

3.7 Does my phone support 3D acceleration?

Yes. To enable 3D acceleration, touch Settings > Developer options and select Force GPU

rendering.

Enabling 3D acceleration improves the gaming experience, but consumes the phone memory

as well. If you are playing a game only, great memory consumption does not affect your

phone's running. If you are playing a game and multiple applications are running on your

phone, the phone may run slowly.

3.9 If I remove the battery, do the date and time on my phone restore to default settings? Will configuring my phone to automatically set the date and time generate data traffic?

If the battery is removed for more than 20 seconds, the date and time are restored to their

default settings. If your phone obtains the date and time from your operator's network when it

powers on and registers with the network, it does not further access the Internet to

synchronize the date and time and does not generate data traffic.

If your phone fails to obtain the date and time from your operator's network when it powers

on and registers with the network, it synchronizes the date and time and generates minor data

traffic.

Yes. Your phone comes with the recorder function.
