Use gestures: tap, swipe, drag, flick, pinch
Gestures are an important, basic part of your phone. They’re easy to learn,
and they make working with the phone fast. You make most gestures with
one finger. For a few, you need two. Make gestures with the tip of your
finger. Do not use your fingernail. Don’t bear down.
To see short animations illustrating how to do gestures, go to palm.com/
support or tap Clips in Help on your phone (see Open applications for
information on how to open Help).
You make gestures in two areas on your phone: the touchscreen and the
gesture area. The gesture area is the black area extending along the bottom
of the screen.
* Gesture area
When you’re working in an application, the gesture area displays a lighted
bar in the center. The lighted bar also appears when you tap the center of
the gesture area to maximize a card in Card view.
Basic gestures
Tap: Tap with the tip of your finger—not your fingernail. Tap fast and firmly,
and then immediately lift your fingertip off the screen. Don’t bear down on
what you’re tapping. Don’t wait for a response; the response comes after
you lift your finger. Don’t linger on the gesture; a tap takes a split second to
do.
