Section 5: Entering Text
This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation
and numbers when you need to enter text.
Virtual QWERTY Keyboard
Your phone provides a virtual QWERTY keyboard for text entry.
Use the keyboard to enter letters, punctuation, numbers, and
other characters into text entry fields or applications. Access the
keyboard by touching any text entry field.
The virtual QWERTY keyboard displays at the bottom of the
screen, in either portrait or landscape orientation. By default,
when you rotate the phone, the screen orientation updates to
display the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.
Entering Text Using the Android Keyboard
The Android Keyboard is a custom virtual QWERTY keyboard,
featuring predictive text. Input characters by tapping the on-
screen keys with your finger.
As you enter characters, predictive text matches your key
touches to common words and displays them. Select a word
from the display to insert it into your text.
Configuring Android Keyboard
You can configure the Android Keyboard to your preferences. For
more information, see "Android keyboard settings" on page 99.
Entering Upper and Lower Case Letters
The default case is lower case (abc). Enter upper and lower case
alphabet letters by touching the Shift key to toggle the case,
before touching the letter key(s).
• Touch once to switch from abc to Abc mode
