Learn some basics about how to move around on
your device, use the Home screen, and enter text. If
you’re familiar with Android devices, you can
probably skip these pages (although a refresher
course never hurt anyone).
Move AroundYour Device’s Menus
andScreens UsingGestures
Your device’s touchscreen lets you control
everything through various types of touches, or
gestures.
Touch: When you want to press onscreen buttons,
select items such as application and settings icons,
or type, simply touch the screen with your finger. A
light touch works best.
Touch andhold:To open the available options for
an item (for example, options for a contact), simply
touch and hold the item.
Drag:Touch and hold your finger before you start to
move it. Do not release your finger until you have
reached the target position.
Slide or Flick: To slide, quickly move your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen. To flick,
move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than
sliding. This finger gesture is always used in a
vertical motion, such as when scrolling through
contacts or a message list.
Pinch andSpread:Pinch the screen using your
thumb and forefinger to zoom out or spread the
screen to zoom in when viewing a picture or a Web
page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and
outward to zoom in.)
Rotate: For most screens, you can automatically
change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning the device sideways. When
entering text, you can turn the device sideways to
bring up a bigger keyboard.
Note: The Auto-rotate screen check box in
Home > Menu >
System settings > Display needs to be
selected for the screen orientation to
automatically change.
