HP Veer 4G (AT&T) manual Notification

Let’s say you use Google calendar for your personal events and your company’s Outlook calendar for business events. Your smartphone’s Calendar application displays events from both calendars in a single view, called All.

Likewise, if you set up multiple email accounts, the Email application displays the messages from all your account inboxes in a single view, called All inboxes. And in Messaging, all your messages with the same person show up in a single conversation view, whether they are text, multimedia, or instant messages. See also linked contact.

notification

A message that appears at the bottom of the screen alerting you of an incoming or missed call; an incoming voicemail, email, or text messages; an upcoming event; and more. In most cases, you can tap a notification to act on it. See also dashboard. Throw a notification off the side of the screen to dismiss it.

online account

The HP Synergy feature makes it easy to synchronize all data from an online account. An online account is a web-based or server-based location where you keep contacts and/or calendar information, such as Google or Exchange. (Such web-based or server-based accounts are sometimes talked about as being “in the cloud.”) You can access the info in those accounts in the Contacts and Calendar applications on your smartphone. You can also set up your smartphone to download contacts from online accounts such as Facebook, and to post photos to online accounts such as Facebook or Photobucket. See Online accounts available for HP webOS smartphones.

Option key

The key you use to enter characters that appear above the letters on the keyboard keys. Press once to enter a single character. Press twice to lock the alternate character feature, so you can enter a series of characters. Also, press and hold Option and then drag your finger onscreen to move the cursor in text.

Palm profile

A Palm profile gives you access to services like automatic updates, backup of your data, and more. You create a Palm profile by entering a working email address during initial setup of your Veer (see Set up your smartphone). Your Palm profile also identifies the location on the web where the data you store

in your Palm profile account is backed up. (You cannot see or change this data on the web, however.) See also Palm profile account.

Palm profile account

An account that is automatically set up for you when you create your Palm profile. You can assign contacts and calendar events to it. Palm profile items are included in the daily backup of information to your Palm profile but do not synchronize with any of your online accounts. See also Palm profile.

To zoom in, you pinch out: Place the thumb and index fingertips close together on the touchscreen; then slowly spread them apart. To zoom out, you pinch in: Place the thumb and index fingertips apart on the touchscreen, and slowly bring them together.

proximity sensor

The proximity sensor makes the screen go dark while you are on a call and have your smartphone up to your ear. It also makes the screen go dark when you are on a call and your smartphone is covered by another item. This prevents accidental taps on the screen while on a call. It also saves battery power. See also Why the screen goes dark.

Quick Launch

The fifth icon is the Launcher. You can easily drag icons onto and off of Quick Launch to change the lineup of apps (see Line up your favorite applications in Quick Launch).

Quick Launch always appears at the bottom of Card view. Tap an icon to open the app. You can also open Quick Launch from any maximized application window by dragging up from the gesture area to the screen. Move your finger to the app you want, and then lift your finger. The application opens.

smart folder
