Getting Around Your Phone
Move Around Your Phone’s Menus
and Screens
Your phone’s touchscreen lets you control
everything through various types of touches,
or gestures.
Tap: When you want to type using the
onscreen keyboard, select items such as
application and settings icons, or press
onscreen buttons, simply tap them with your
inger. A light touch works best.
Touch and hold: To display the available
options for an item simply touch and hold
the item.
Flick: Move your inger in lighter, quicker
strokes than swiping. This inger gesture is
always used in a vertical motion, such as when
licking through contacts or a message list.
Swipe: Quickly drag your inger vertically or
horizontally across the screen.
Drag: Press and hold your inger with some
pressure before you start to move it. Do not
release your inger until you have reached the
target position.
Rotate: Activate the auto-rotate feature to
automatically change the screen orientation
from portrait to landscape by turning the
phone sideways.
Slide: This feature allows you to enter text by
sliding a inger from letter to letter, lifting only
between words. See page 15 for instructions
on using this continuous input method with
the various keyboard types.
