Using the Touch Screen
Your phone’s touch screen lets you control
actions through a variety of touch gestures.
• Touch
When you want to type using the onscreen
keyboard, select items onscreen such as
application and settings icons, or press
onscreen buttons, simply touch them with
your nger.
• Touch and Hold
To open the available options for an item (for
example, a message or link in a Web page),
touch 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.
