Using the touchscreen
Tap:
To act on items on the screen, such as application and setting icons, to type
letters and symbols using the on-screen keyboard, or press onscreen
buttons, you simply touch them with your finger.
Tap and hold:
Tap and hold the item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger
until an action occurs.
Swipe or slide:
To swipe or slide means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across
the screen. Quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen,
without pausing when you first touch it (so you don´t drag the item).
Drag:
Tap and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger,
move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.
Double-tap:
Tap quickly twice on the webpage, map, or other screen to zoom. For
example, you double-tap section of the webpage in Browser to zoom in or
out that section to fit the width of the screen.
Pinch:
In some applications (such as Maps, Browser and Gallery) you can zoom in
and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them
together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
Rotate:
For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation
from portrait to landscape by turning the device sideways. When entering
text, you can turn the device sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard. You
can turn this feature on and off, go to Settings/Display/Auto-rotate screen,
turn the function On.
