Use the touchscreen

Important: Avoid scratching the touchscreen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object on the touchscreen.

Your phone display

Leaving the phone screen on with maximum brightness level for a long time may cause the display image to remain on the screen even when the screen switches off or when a new image appears on the screen.

To avoid this:

  • Lock your screen when you’re not using the phone and set the phone screen to switch off after a short time. Tap Settings > Display > Advanced > Sleep and select the time.
  • Keep your phone up to date and accept available software updates
  • Lower the screen brightness: Tap Settings > Display > Brightness level. To adjust the brightness, drag the brightness level slider. Make sure that Adaptive brightness is disabled.
