NOTE: If you have set an unlock pattern, PIN, or password for your phone (see
Personalizing – Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks), you'll need to draw the pattern
or enter the PIN/password to unlock your screen.

Using the Touch Screen

Your phone's touch screen lets you control actions through a variety of touch gestures.
• Tap – When you want to type using the on-screen keyboard, select on-screen items
(such as application and settings icons), or press on-screen buttons, simply tap them
with your finger.
• Press and hold – To open the available options for an item (for example, a message or
link in a web page), press and hold the item.
• Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or
horizontally across the screen.
• Drag – To drag, press and hold your finger with some pressure 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 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.
NOTES:
• The Auto-rotate screen option needs to be turned on for the screen orientation
to automatically change. Press the Home Key >
When device is rotated > Rotate the contents of the screen.
• You can also access the screen rotation control by sliding down the Status Bar twice
and tapping Auto-rotate or Portrait.
