Touch Screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch
– A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on
the on-screen keyboard.
Touch and hold
– Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and
not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact's
available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the
context menu opens.
Drag
– Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your
finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You
can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide
– To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface
of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an
item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down to scroll
through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from
left to right (and vice versa).
Double-tap
– Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the
width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out after taking a
picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom
– Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading
motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing
pictures.
Rotate the screen
– From many applications and menus, the orientation of the
screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
NOTE:
t
To select an item, touch the center of the icon.
t
Do not press too hard; the touch screen is sensitive enough to pick up a
light, yet firm touch.
t
Use the tip of your finger to touch the option you want. Be careful not to
touch any other keys.
