After inserting the battery, you can now power on and start using your device.

Turn your device on and off

To turn on the power

Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.

When you turn on your device for the first time, a Quick Start Wizard will guide you through the calibration process and the setup of regional settings, date and time, and password. For more information about touch screen calibration, see “Calibrate the device”.

To turn off the power

Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds. A message will then be displayed, prompting you whether or not to turn off the device completely.

Calibrate the device

Calibrating the touch screen involves tapping the centre of a cross with the stylus as the cross moves around the screen. This process ensures that when you tap the screen with your stylus, the tapped item is activated.

If your device does not accurately respond to screen taps, follow these steps to re-calibrate it:

1.Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen.

2.On the General tab, tap Align Screen, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration.

Manage screen settings

The device’s display has the following orientation modes: Portrait and Landscape. To change the orientation, tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen, and select the orientation you want.

To smooth the edges of screen fonts for many programs, on the ClearType tab, select the Enable ClearType check box.

To increase the readability or to see more content on the screen, on the Text Size tab, adjust the text size by moving the slider.

Tip To quickly change the screen orientation, you can also tap the Rotate Screen icon in HTC Home’s Launcher. See “HTC Home” later in this chapter for details.

Switch your device to Sleep mode

Quickly pressing the POWER button turns off the display temporarily and switches your device to Sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a low power state while the display is off in order to save battery power. Your device also automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the device idle after a certain amount of time.

You will still be able to receive messages and calls while your device is in Sleep mode. Pressing the POWER button again or new incoming calls/messages will wake up your device.

To specify the timeout period before your device goes into Sleep mode

1.Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power > Advanced tab.

2.Under On battery power, make sure the Turn off device if not used for check box is selected.

3.Select the battery timeout period, then tap OK.

VOGU100 specifications

The HTC VOGU100, often recognized by its brand name, the HTC Touch, was a standout smartphone released in 2007. This device marked a significant step in mobile technology, embracing the touchscreen trend at a time when many competitors relied heavily on physical keyboards. The VOGU100 was particularly celebrated for its innovative features and user-friendly interface.

One of the hallmark characteristics of the HTC VOGU100 is its 2.8-inch resistive touchscreen display. The resolution of 240 x 320 pixels offered a clear and vibrant viewing experience, allowing users to navigate through apps and media with ease. The capacitive nature of the touchscreen allowed for basic fingertip control, though it was not as responsive as the later capacitive displays.

Powered by Windows Mobile 6.0, the HTC VOGU100 offered users the familiarity of a PC-like environment on their phones. This operating system allowed for a range of applications to be installed, providing flexibility and customization. Additionally, the TouchFLO user interface overlaying Windows Mobile enhanced the usability of the device, making navigation smoother for the average user.

The HTC VOGU100 was equipped with a Qualcomm MSM7200 processor running at 200 MHz, supported by 128 MB of RAM and 256 MB of internal storage. The inclusion of a microSD slot meant that users could expand their storage, making it easier to manage personal data, photos, and applications.

An integrated 2-megapixel camera allowed users to capture images and short videos, although the quality was relatively basic by modern standards. Additionally, the device supported Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling users to stay connected and share data with ease.

Another notable feature of the HTC VOGU100 was its compact design, which measured 102 x 58 x 15 mm and weighed just 112 grams. This lightweight and slim profile made it easy to carry, appealing to smartphone users who valued portability.

In summary, the HTC VOGU100, with its touchscreen interface, solid performance metrics, and user-friendly features, represented a pivotal moment in the evolution of smartphones. While its technology may seem antiquated by today’s standards, it laid the groundwork for future innovations in mobile devices, marking HTC's commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobile technology.
