Touchscreen

Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android™ phone. With the touch of your ﬁnger, you can download and use available apps, make menu selections, and access data saved to your phone.

The following terms are used for describing the different available actions using the touchscreen:

Touch or tap A single ﬁnger touch selects items. For example, tap an

icon (e.g., an app, widget, or folder), tap words (e.g., menu selection or to answer an on-screen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.

NOTE Don't press too hard on the touchscreen. It's sensitive enough to detect a light, ﬁrm tap.

Touch and hold Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and

not lifting your ﬁnger until an action occurs. For example, to open a

The Basics

Context menu for editing a contact, touch and hold a contact entry until the menu pops up.

Drag Touch 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. For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.

Swipe, slide, or ﬂick Move your ﬁnger quickly across the surface of the

screen, without pausing when you ﬁrst touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you can browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa), slide the screen up or down to scroll a list, or remove an app from the Recent apps screen by ﬂicking its graphic off the screen.

Double-tap Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn

the screen on/off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web page to zoom that section to ﬁt the width of the screen and control the zoom in Maps and in other apps. Double-tap a word to highlight it. Double-tap can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the touchscreen on or off.

NOTE The Accessibility settings shortcuts and Touch zoom accessibility features use a

triple-tap. Double-tap also activates a new event in the Calendar app.

Pinch-to-zoom Use your index ﬁnger and thumb in a pinch motion (to

zoom out) or spread motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map, photos, the rear camera lens, the Contacts list, the Favorites list, the Groups list, the Messaging list, and a music list. Spread apart to make screen information larger (easier to see and read), or pinch together to view more area and information. The pinch gesture also changes the Home screen. Pinch in on the Home screen to change to mini panel view, then spread apart to return to the normal Home screen view. Spread apart on the normal Home screen to hide all of your Home screen items, then pinch in to redisplay them.

Rotate the screen From many apps and menus, the orientation of the

screen adjusts to the phone’s physical orientation by rotating the screen. You can deactivate this function in the Display settings menu.

Connecting to Networks and Devices

Connecting to Mobile Networks

When you buy your phone and sign up for service, your phone is conﬁgured to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for transmitting data. Different locations may have different mobile networks available. Initially, your phone is conﬁgured to use the fastest mobile network available for data. You can also conﬁgure your phone to access a different set of networks entirely, or to behave in speciﬁc ways when roaming.

The following icons in the Status Bar indicate which kind of data network you’re connected to and the network signal strength.

Connected to the 4G network (LTE).

Connected to the EVDO network (EVDO revA).

Signal strength - the more bars that are lit, the stronger the wireless signal.

Connected to another wireless service provider’s network (roaming).

When connected to slower networks, you may want to postpone using your phone for data-intensive tasks until you’re connected to a faster network again or ﬁnd a Wi-Fi network to connect to.

To disable data when roaming

You can prevent your phone from transmitting data over other carriers’ mobile networks when you leave an area that’s covered by your carrier’s networks. You can still transmit data with a Wi-Fi connection when Global data roaming access is restricted. This is useful for controlling expenses if your cell plan doesn’t include data roaming.

Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.

To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point. Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must conﬁgure your phone so it can connect to them.

Turn off Wi-Fi when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery.

When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To conﬁgure the phone with a static IP address and other advanced settings, from the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch and hold the connected network.
