Touch And Hold; Swipe Or Slide; Drag; Use The Trackball - HTC Magic User Manual

Swipe or slide

To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across
the screen.

Drag

Touch and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While
dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger
in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as
when flicking the contacts or message list.
Rotate
For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from
portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can
turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard. Refer to Chapter  for more
details.
Note The Orientation check box in HOME > MENU > Settings > Sound & display needs
to be selected for the screen orientation to automatically change.

Use the Trackball

Roll or press the TRACKBALL to select or highlight items on the screen. The
TRACKBALL also flashes when you receive an incoming call or a notification.
