Glossary of Terms 249
Let’s say you use Google calendar for your personal events and your
company’s Outlook calendar for business events. Your smartphone’s
Calendar application displays events from both calendars in a single view,
called All.
Likewise, if you set up multiple email accounts, the Email application
displays the messages from all your account inboxes in a single view, called
All inboxes. And in Messaging, all your messages with the same person
show up in a single conversation view, whether they are text, multimedia, or
instant messages. See also
linked contact .
notification
A message that appears at the bottom of the screen alerting you of an
incoming or missed call; an incoming voicemail, email, or text messages; an
upcoming event; and more. In most cases, you can tap a notification to act
on it. See also
dashboard . Throw a notification off the side of the screen to
dismiss it.
online account
The HP Synergy feature makes it easy to synchronize all data from an online
account. An online account is a web-based or server-based location where
you keep contacts and/or calendar information, such as Google or
Exchange. (Such web-based or server-based accounts are sometimes talked
about as being “in the cloud.”) You can access the info in those accounts in
the Contacts and Calendar applications on your smartphone. You can also
set up your smartphone to download contacts from online accounts such as
Facebook, and to post photos to online accounts such as Facebook or
Photobucket. See
Online accounts available for HP webOS smartphones .
Option key
The key you use to enter characters that appear above the letters on the
keyboard keys. Press once to enter a single character. Press twice to lock the
alternate character feature, so you can enter a series of characters. Also,
press and hold
Option and then drag your finger onscreen to move the
cursor in text.
Palm profile
A Palm profile gives you access to services like automatic updates, backup of
your data, and more. You create a Palm profile by entering a working email
address during initial setup of your Veer (see
Set up your smartphone ). Your
Palm profile also identifies the location on the web where the data you store
in your Palm profile account is backed up. (You cannot see or change this
data on the web, however.) See also
Palm profile account .
Palm profile account
An account that is automatically set up for you when you create your Palm
profile. You can assign contacts and calendar events to it. Palm profile items
are included in the daily backup of information to your Palm profile but do
not synchronize with any of your online accounts. See also
Palm profile .
pinch
A gesture used to zoom in for a magnified view or zoom out to see a larger
area. To zoom in, you pinch out: Place the thumb and index fingertips close
together on the touchscreen; then slowly spread them apart. To zoom out,
you pinch in: Place the thumb and index fingertips apart on the touchscreen,
and slowly bring them together.
proximity sensor
The proximity sensor makes the screen go dark while you are on a call and
have your smartphone up to your ear. It also makes the screen go dark when
you are on a call and your smartphone is covered by another item. This
prevents accidental taps on the screen while on a call. It also saves battery
power. See also
Why the screen goes dark .
Quick Launch
A lineup of up to five icons that give you quick access to your favorite
applications. By default, Quick Launch displays icons for the following apps:
Phone, Email, Contacts, and Calendar. The fifth icon is the Launcher. You
can easily drag icons onto and off of Quick Launch to change the lineup of
apps (see
Line up your favorite applications in Quick Launch ).
Quick Launch always appears at the bottom of Card view. Tap an icon to
open the app. You can also open Quick Launch from any maximized
application window by dragging up from the gesture area to the screen.
Move your finger to the app you want, and then lift your finger. The
application opens.
