Maybe you want to get to know your phone or tablet a little better. You can also find your device's user manual on the web. Select your device model from the following list, and then select your carrier. This step helps to provide you with the most accurate and relevant information.
Everyone needs some help with their phone sometimes. Usually, a web search will point you in the right direction, but a user manual is a nice thing to have too. We'll show you how to find one for your phone.
Some Android phones don't come with power cables anymore, but they almost all still include user manuals in the box. However, you wouldn't be the first person to toss the manual along with the box. So where else can you find it?
Next, look for the official website from the phone manufacturers. In this case, oneplus.com is the top result, so you should go there. If you can't find the manufacturer's website, mobile carriers will also be good sources.
That's all there is to it, really. Thankfully, Android allows you to search in the Settings app, which makes it easier to find things without a manual. We've also got plenty of how-to guides right here to help you get the most out of your Android device (?).

Anki is spaced repetition technique which is simple but highly effective. It helps you memorize things by automatically repeating them across increasing intervals based on your responses with no need for you to keep track of what to study or when to study it. You create notes (or download shared decks) with content you need to memorize, and the scheduler will make sure you see the content when you need to.
AnkiDroid is intended to be used in conjunction with Anki on your computer. While it is possible to function without it,some tasks are either only possible with, or a lot more efficient with Anki Desktop. Furthermore, it is strongly recommended to at least read "Key Concepts" section of the main Anki manual to understand the terminology used here.
To start using AnkiDroid, we need to add some cards to study. From the main screen, tapping the big blue plus button will allow you to either add a new "note" (i.e. create new flashcards), download shared decks (decks that other people have created and shared online), or create new empty decks.
The big blue + button in the bottom right corner is used to add new material to AnkiDroid. Pressing it expands to give the following four options, which are also described in the tutorial video (except for 'Create filtered deck').
Choose this option if you want to create your own flashcards (notes) with AnkiDroid. "Notes" and "cards" have specific meanings in Anki, which are explained in the main Anki manual. Please see the tutorial video for a quick introduction to adding notes, or refer to the adding notes section below for more detailed information.
Note that the currently selected deck is highlighted with a grey background, and if you have any filtered decks they will be highlighted using a blue font. Filtered decks are discussed elsewhere in the manual.
Allows you to choose from some convenient presets for studying outside of your normal schedule, for example increasing the study limit for the day. See the section on "filtered decks" for more detailed information.
The count buttons on the far right of each deck act as a separate clickable area that takes you to the deck overview instead of the study screen. This can be useful if you want to quickly view the number of cards available in the deck.
The navigation drawer can be opened from most places in the application by pressing the left menu icon,or alternatively swiping outwards from anywhere on the far left side of the screen. It is usedfor quickly navigating between different parts of the application. You can switch to the following screens:
On this screen you can view a summary of the deck, build custom study sessions, rebuild / empty filtered decks, and change deck options. When visible, pressing the study button will take you to the study screen for that deck.
Tapping the wrench icon allows you to create a custom session, for example to do extra reviews outside your normal schedule, or study only certain cards inside a deck. See the filtered deck section for more information on this.
Allows you to configure some options related to the currentdeck, such as the number of new cards and reviews to introduce each day.Please see the desktop documentation for more information about these study options.
The App Bar at the top of the study screen has several buttons for performing various common actions. The number of buttons which are shownis determined automatically by Android based on the size and resolution of your screen. If there is not enough space to show the buttonfor a given action, then the action will be available from the menu instead. If you are unsure what a button does, you can long-tap on it tosee the name of the action. The following action are available:
Adds a "marked" tag to the current note, so it can be easily found in the browser.This is useful when you want to take some action on the note at a later date, such as looking up a word when you get home. Marked cards also show a small star in the upper-right-hand corner during reviews.
Adds a color coded "flag" (red, orange, green, or blue)This can be used as a general purpose indicator to differentiate your cards. Flags are represented by a number from 1-4, corresponding to the previously listed colors.
This action enables or disables the whiteboard feature for the current deck. The whiteboard feature allows you to draw on the screen,which is particularly useful for practicing drawing characters from languages such as Japanese. When the whiteboard has been enabled for the current deck,two new actions will become available for clearing and hiding the whiteboard. Disabling the whiteboard will hide these actions as well as the whiteboard itself.
This action enables or disables the temporary audio recorder toolbar at the top of the card. This feature allows you to record your voice and replay it. It is used primarily to check your pronunciation. This toolbar is composed of three buttons: play, stop playing and record microphone audio. This tool can be used while viewing either the question or the answer.
Below the deck selector are the fields for the note (for example the "Basic" note type has two fields "Front" and "Back"). When you tap on a field,a keyboard will come up, allowing you to type in information.
Shows the names of the cards which will be generated for the selected note type. Tapping on this button will bring up a dialog which lets you previewthe source code for the card template of the selected note type. From here you can edit, preview, add, and delete card templates. See the cards and templates section of the Anki Desktop manual for more information about card templates.
It also allows the addition of user-defined toolbar buttons using HTML. HTML is a powerful language allowing nearly endless customization of your cards. Our wiki contains common code samples to get you started.
The edit note screen can be opened by choosing edit while reviewing, or by opening a card in the browser.The edit screen is similar to the add new note screen mentioned above, with some keydifferences:
Changing the deck operates on the selected card (which is underlined in the "Cards" box).If a note type is chosen which has more than one card, only the currently selected card will be moved to the new deck.
Changing the "Type" dropdown selector changes to the note type edit mode. In this mode, editing the content of the note (i.e. deck, fields, etc) is disabled,and if a custom note type with more than two fields is being used, additional buttons will appear which let you control the mapping of the fields to the new note type.
If a note type is selected which has less cards than the original note type, only the first n cards will be kept. For example changing from "Basic (and reversed card)" to "Basic" will lead to only the first card being kept. To warn you of this, the text in the "Cards" box will appear red, and a confirmation dialog will be shown before the note is saved.
The browser screen starts by displaying all the cards in the currently selected deck. You can search for cards in the selected deckby tapping the magnifying glass icon in the top. You can change the selected deck (or change to all decks) by choosing the deck from thedropdown list on the top left.
By default, the first column in the browser gives the text which will be shown on the question (i.e. front side) of the flashcard, and the second column shows the text from the answer (i.e. the back side) of the flashcard.
