Device, Apps
Here you can manage the installed and running apps.
The tab “downloaded” displays the installed apps on the tablet.
The tab “on SD card” displays the installed apps on the SD card.
The tab “running” displays the apps that are running (see chapter multi-tasking).
Every running app uses an amount of processor and memory capacity. So the
less apps that are opened, the faster the tablet is.
The tab “all” displays all apps irrelevant of their location.
When you tap on an app in one of the following tabs: “downloaded”, “on SD card” or
“all”, the app information will be displayed, and these options will appear:
“Force stop”: this option kills the app. This is useful when an app is running, but
doesn’t function anymore.
“Uninstall”: this option removes the app from the tablet.
“Disable”: this option disables an app. With this feature, it is possible to disable
apps like the keyboard, internet browser etc. This feature is only available for the
pre-installed apps.
“Clear data”: this option deletes all the data, which are stored in the app like:
“accounts / passwords”, “files”, “databases and settings”.
“Move to SD card”: this option clears internal memory space because the app is
moved to the SD card. If the SD card isn't inserted then the app can’t be used.
“Clear cache”: this option clears the cache, like saved websites on the internet
browser.
“Launch by default”: this option can be used to select an app as default app for
certain actions. For example, if you have installed two photo viewers and you
always want to use A instead of B then select A as launch by default.
In the tab “running” the following options will appear:
“Stop”: this option stops an app. The app will not be available for multi-tasking
anymore until you restart it, so you save memory and processor capacity.
“Report”: if some errors occur during usage of the app, select this option to send
a report to the creator, enabling them to analyze the problem.
Personal, Accounts & sync
This displays your account information. If you are at “sync all information” and you
tap on, for example, your agenda, you can synchronize contacts and email with your
online account, computer, Smartphone etc.
Note: Not every device supports the sync function.
To activate the sync function, move the bar to the upper right corner of the screen.
When you tap on “add account”, you can add extra accounts to the tablet.
Personal, Location services
This is where location services can be set. Simply mark the checkboxes to activate
them. As the layout of this screen depends on the installed apps, this user manual
ignores this subject. All location services are included with a description of their
requirements and functions.
