Using The Touch Screen - Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY Extended User Manual

Using the touch screen

When your phone is on and left idle for a set period of time, the screen darkens to save
battery power, and locks automatically. This lock prevents unwanted actions on the touch
screen when you are not using it. You can also set personal locks to protect your
subscription and make sure only you can access your phone content.
Your phone screen is made from glass. Do not touch the screen if the glass is cracked or
shattered. Avoid trying to repair a damaged screen yourself. Glass screens are sensitive to drops
and mechanical shocks. Cases of negligent care are not covered by the Sony Ericsson warranty
service.

Zooming
There are two ways to zoom. The zoom options available depend on the application you
are using.
To zoom
• When available, tap
on the screen (in any direction) to make the zoom icons appear.
• Touch an area on the screen with two fingers at once and pinch them together to
zoom out, or spread the two fingers apart to zoom in. Repeat the relevant movement
to keep zooming in or out.
When you use two fingers on the screen to zoom, it is only possible to zoom if both fingers are
within the zoomable area. If you, for example, want to zoom in on a photo, make sure that both
fingers are within the photo frame area.
Scrolling
Scroll by moving your finger up or down on the screen. On some web pages you can also
scroll to the sides.
Dragging or flicking will not activate anything on the screen.
