Understanding Your Phone 27
Using Multi Window
This feature allows you to run multiple applications on the
current screen at the same time.
Note:
Only applications found within the Multi window tray can
be active atop another current application on the screen.
When launching applications that contain multimedia
files (music/video), audio from both files will be played
simultaneously.
Activating and Deactivating Multi window
To activate Multi window:
1.
Touch and hold
Back
. The Multi window tray
appears briefly (by default) on the left side of the
screen, then closes, leaving only the Multi window tab
showing.
2.
Touch the tab
to open the Multi window tray,
showing some of the available Multi window apps.
3.
Swipe the tray upwards to show more Multi window
apps.
To deactivate Multi window:
With the Multi window tab showing, touch and hold
Back
. This action hides the Multi window tab
from view.
Repositioning the Multi Window
The Multi window contains two components: tab and apps
tray. The tab can be manually moved across the screen. The
apps tray (containing the scrollable apps) can be relocated to
launch from any side of the screen (top, bottom, left, or
right).
To move the tab:
1.
Activate the Multi window feature. (See
“To activate
Multi window:”
on page 27.)
2.
In a single motion, touch and hold the tab
for
approximately one-second, then slowly drag it to its
new location
along the current
screen edge.
Note:
This is a quick way to get the tab out of the way if you
can’t get to a button or option behind it.
