Touch Screen tips

Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen
keyboard.
Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger
until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact's available options, touch and hold the
contact in the Contacts list until the context menu opens.
Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your
finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen
to reposition them.
Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen,
without pausing when you first touch it (so you don't drag an item instead). For example, you can
slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens
by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a
section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap
to zoom in and out after taking a picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to zoom in
or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen adjusts to
the device's physical orientation.
NOTE:
To select an item, touch the center of the icon.

Do not press too hard; the touch screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm

touch.
Use the tip of your finger to touch the option you want. Be careful not to touch any

other keys.
