Your Phone's Home Screen
The following topics describe how to use and customize your phone’s home screen, understand the
status bar, and use the notifications window.
Home Screen Basics
The home screen is the starting point for your phone’s applications, functions, and menus. You can
customize your home screen by adding application icons, shortcuts, folders, widgets, and more.
Home Screen Layout
Your home screen extends beyond the initial screen. Swipe the screen left or right to display additional
screens.

Tap to open the dial pad. Also provides additional tabs to access
Call logs, Contacts, and Groups.
Tap to return to the previous screen.
Tap to display the main home screen.
Tap to access a list of your most recently-used apps. Touch and
hold to access menu options.
Tap an icon (application, folder, etc.) to open and use it.
Widgets are self-contained apps that display on a home screen.
Unlike a shortcut, the Widget works like as an onscreen
application.
Shows device status information including the time, signal
strength, battery status, and notification icons.
Extended Home Screens
In addition to the main home screen, your phone features extended home screens to provide more space
for adding icons, widgets, and more. Swipe across the screen to move from the main screen to an
extended screen. The small circles above the primary shortcuts let you know your current screen position.
