1.6 Navigating Your Device
There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your
device.
Finger-touch control
A quick and easy way to interact with the home screen and the whole interface
of your device is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called
finger gestures, you would use when interacting with your device:
Touch or tap
When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu,
programs and settings icons, and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with
your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on
the screen.
Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On
screens that display smaller-size items, you can more accurately select an item by
tapping it with your fingertip.
Swipe
To swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. The
following are some instances when you would use swiping:
Flipping on the Home screen
•
Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music
albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D
Home Screen” in Chapter 3.
Scrolling
•
When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain
selection lists on the Home screen (such as the All Programs list), slowly
swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll
by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.
Getting Started 37
The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as
you are reading it. For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.
Slide
Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need
to press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While
dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
The following are some instances when you would use sliding:
Switching between Home screen tabs
•
Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For
more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home screen“ in Chapter 3.
Advancing playback
•
In players that have a progress bar, such as the Home screen’s Music tab
and Windows Media® Player Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on their
progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the music or video you
are playing.
For more information about the Home screen’s Music tab, see “Music” in
Chapter 3.
For more information about Windows Media® Player Mobile, see “Using
Windows Media® Player Mobile” in Chapter 11.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger
in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as
when flicking the contacts list. See “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3 for details.
Finger zooming and panning
In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when
zooming and panning. See Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details.
38 Getting Started
Stylus
You can use the stylus to navigate and interact
with the touch screen. To use the stylus, pull it
out from the stylus compartment at the bottom
of the right panel of your device. If the backlight
is off, removing the stylus automatically turns the
backlight back on.
The stylus is magnetic and sticks to the side when held close to the device. This
prevents you from accidentally losing or misplacing the stylus.
Basically, you tap with the stylus to open programs and select items on the screen,
and you tap and hold on the screen to open a shortcut menu. You can also use the
stylus the same way as what you do with finger gestures, such as swiping, sliding
and flicking on the screen.
Navigation Control
On the home screen and in many programs on your device, you can use the
Navigation Control for directional control. Press the directional arrows to navigate
up, down, left, and right on the screen. When an item has been selected on the
screen, press the ENTER button (the center button) to confirm your selection.
Getting Started 39
The Navigation Control is also touch sensitive
and can be used for zooming. Slide your finger
clockwise around the Navigation Control to
zoom in, counterclockwise to zoom out.
The following programs allow you to use the
Navigation Control for zooming:
Album
•
Camera
•
Opera Mobile
•
Word Mobile and Excel Mobile
•
Tip If you purchase and install GPS navigation software on your device, you can also use
the Navigation Control for zooming in the GPS software.
Sliding your finger clockwise
Sliding your finger
