Getting Around Your Device

There are different ways to navigate around your device’s Home screen, menus, and application screens.

Tap

When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select items on the screen such as application and settings icons or buttons, simply tap them with your finger.

Press and Hold

To open the available options for an item (for example, contact or link in a Web page), simply press and hold the item.

Swipe, Slide or Drag

To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.

To drag, press and hold your finger with

some pressure before you start to move your finger. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

Flick

Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger in light, quick strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts or message list.
