Getting around

Touch control
Your phone's touch screen allows you to control actions through a variety of
touch gestures.
• Tap: Tap the buttons, icons, or applications to select items or to open
applications.
• Press and hold: To open the available options for an item (such as a
message or link in a web page), press and hold the item.
• Swipe or slide: To scroll or toggle, quickly drag your finger vertically or
horizontally across the screen.
• Drag: To drag, press and hold before you start to move your finger. While
dragging, do not release your finger 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 fingers on the screen and pinching them
together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
• Rotate the screen: In certain applications, you can automatically change
the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone
sideways.
