Getting to Know Your Phone
NOTE: If you have set an unlock pattern, PIN, or password for your phone (see
Personalizing – Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks), you’ll need to draw the pattern
or enter the PIN/password to unlock your screen.
Using the Touch Screen
Your phone’s touch screen lets you control actions through a variety of touch gestures.
• Tap – When you want to type using the on-screen keyboard, select on-screen items
(such as application and settings icons), or press on-screen buttons, simply tap them
with your nger.
• Press and hold – To open the available options for an item (for example, a message or
link in a web page), press and hold the item.
• Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your nger vertically or
horizontally across the screen.
• Drag – To drag, press and hold your nger with some pressure before you start to
move your nger. While dragging, do not release your nger until you have reached
the target position.
• Pinch – In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom in and out
by placing two ngers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom
out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
• Rotate the screen – For most screens, you can automatically change the screen
orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways.
NOTES:
• The Auto-rotate screen option needs to be turned on for the screen orientation
to automatically change. Press the Home Key > > Settings > Display >
When device is rotated > Rotate the contents of the screen.
• You can also access the screen rotation control by sliding down the Status Bar twice
and tapping Auto-rotate or Portrait.
