Your phone offers new features for using gestures to interact with your phone.

Motions and Gestures

Control your phone by making specific gestures with your hand above the phone's screen.
●
Air browse: When on, you can scroll through pages, or move to the previous or next item, by
moving your hand up and down, or left and right, over the screen.
●
Direct call: When on, you can call the contact whose recent call log, message, or contact details
are displayed by lifting the phone to your ear.
●
Smart alert: When on, your phone will vibrate to alert you to missed calls and notifications that
occurred since the last time you picked up your phone.
●
Mute/pause: When on, you can mute incoming calls and pause playback by turning the phone
screen-side down, or by covering the screen with your hand. You can also use Smart pause, to
have the phone pause video playback when you look away from the screen.
●
Palm swipe to capture: When on, you can create a copy of the current screen by swiping the
side of your hand across the screen, from left to right or right to left. The screen shot is saved to
the clipboard, and to the Screenshots folder.
