HP Veer 4G (AT&T) manual Flick

Display Quick Launch: One kind of drag that you’ll use a lot brings up Quick Launch when you’re in an application. This drag gesture begins in the gesture area and ends on the touchscreen. As your fingertip slowly crosses the border between the gesture area and the touchscreen, it seems to drag Quick Launch into view. To open one of the apps in Quick Launch, move your finger to its icon. When you see the app name appear, lift your finger. The application opens.

Delete a list item: In some applications, such as Email, Messaging, Tasks, Music, and Bluetooth, you can throw a list item off the side of the screen to delete the item.

Throw the item off the side of the screen. If prompted, tap Delete to confirm the deletion.

Flick

As its name tells you, this is a quick gesture, great for scrolling long lists, documents, or pages. Do it fast, do it lightly; as with a swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface. The faster you flick, the faster and farther you scroll up or down a list.

Close an application: To close an application in Card view, flick the card up toward the top of the touchscreen. This is called throwing the card off the top of the screen.

If you can’t delete a list item by throwing it, open the item and look in the application menu for a Delete menu item.

TIP To delete multiple list items, throw each one off the screen. If you get the Delete confirmation prompt after throwing the first item, you don’t need to tap it—just throw the second item, and the first deletion is confirmed automatically.

TIP In some apps, such as Email, you can set a preference whether to show a confirmation screen when you delete a list item.
