Extended Home screen, Using Leap view

18 Getting started

Home screen

Your Home screen is where you make HTC Sensation 4G your own. You can add your favorite applications, shortcuts, folders and widgets so they’re always just a tap away. To find out how, see Personalizing on page 30.

Extended Home screen

As you start to do more things with HTC Sensation 4G, you might find that one Home screen is not enough. No problem.

Slide your finger horizontally to the left or right on the screen and you’ll discover more space for adding icons, widgets, and more.

Press to return to the main Home screen.

Using Leap view

§To jump straight to the screen that you want, press or pinch the screen to show the Leap view. It reveals all Home screens as thumbnails. Just tap the one you want and you’ll leap right there.

§In Leap view, if there's space to add a new screen, you can tap Add panel to do so. An empty Home screen appears and you can start customizing from there.
