Getting Around Your Device
Move Around Your Device’s Menus and
Screens
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
finger. A light touch works best.
Touch and hold: To display the available
options for an item simply touch and hold
the item.
Swipe or slide: Quickly drag your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen.
Drag: Press and hold your finger with some
pressure before you start to move it. Do not
release your finger 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
device sideways. (Note: The Home screen
is portrait only.)
Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker
strokes than swiping. This finger gesture is
always used in a vertical motion, such as
when flicking through contacts or a
message list.
