Fundamentals of Android 4.1 and TouchWiz

Drag— Dragging always starts with a touch and hold. For example, if

you touch the Notification bar, you can drag it down to read all of the

notification messages.

Swipe or slide— Swipe or slide the screen to scroll quickly.

To swipe or slide, move your finger across the screen quickly.

Be careful not to touch and hold before you swipe or you will

reposition something. You can also swipe to clear notifications or

close apps when viewing the recent apps.

Double-tap— Double-tapping is like double-clicking a mouse on

a desktop computer. Tap the screen twice in quick succession. For

example, you can double-tap a web page to zoom in to part of that

page.

Pinch— To zoom in and out of images and pages, place your thumb

and forefinger on the screen. Pinch them together to zoom out or

spread them apart to zoom in (unpinching). Applications like Browser,

Gallery, and Maps support pinching.

Rotate the screen—If you rotate your Galaxy Note II from

an upright position to being on its left or right side, the

screen switches from Portrait view to Landscape view. Most

applications honor the screen orientation. The Home screens

and Launcher do not.

Use the Keyboard

Your Galaxy Note II has a virtual or onscreen keyboard for those times when

you need to enter text. You might be a little wary of a keyboard that has no

physical keys, but you will be pleasantly surprised at how well it works.

Some applications automatically show the keyboard when you need to enter

text. If the keyboard does not appear, touch the area where you want to type

and the keyboard slides up ready for use.

Using the virtual keyboard as you type, your Galaxy Note II makes word

suggestions. Think of this as similar to the spell checker you would see in

a word processor. Your Galaxy Note II uses a dictionary of words to guess

what you are typing. If the word you were going to type is highlighted, touch

space or period to select it. If you can see the word in the list but it is not

highlighted, touch the word to select it.
