Cut, Copy, And Paste - Motorola DROID BY Tips And Tricks Manual

Use Options and Settings
It's easy to access options and settings for any screen or
item on that screen. For screen options and settings,
press the Menu key. For an item on the screen, touch
and hold the item to view its options. For example, in
the Email Inbox, touch and hold a message to see a
menu for opening or deleting the message. In Contacts,
touch and hold a contact to call, text, or delete.
Say it and search
Google Search by Voice lets you tell your phone what
you're looking for instead of typing it! Just go to the
Google Search widget, touch the Microphone icon, wait
for the prompt, and speak your search term into the
phone. Then check out your results.
Lock your screen, lock your phone
Because you don't always want to touch your touch-
screen, you can easily lock your screen to prevent acci-
dental key presses. And, because you don't always want
someone else touching your phone, you can easily set
security codes that only you can crack.
To lock your screen manually, press the power key
quickly. To unlock, press the power key quickly to take
the phone out of sleep mode, and then slide the lock
icon to the right.
To set a pattern to use as a security code required to
unlock the phone:
>
1 Press Settings.
2 Tap Location & security
pattern.
3 Read the explanation of unlock patterns, watch
the demo, and tap Next.
4 Set your unlock pattern, connecting at least four
dots, and tap Continue.
5 Draw your unlock pattern again, then tap
Confirm.
When the screen times out and locks, press the power
key to unlock and then enter the unlock pattern you
specified. If you enter an incorrect pattern five times
consecutively, the phone requires you to wait 30
seconds before trying again.
Note: You can make emergency calls on a locked phone.
A locked phone still rings and can be easily answered.
