Your Home screen
Touch Screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on
the on-screen keyboard.
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 contact's
available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the
context menu opens.
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. You
can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger 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 slide the screen up or down to scroll
through a list, or browse through the different Home screen canvases by
swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the width
of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out while viewing a
picture and when using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading
motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing
pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the
screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
NOTE:
t To select an item, touch the center of the icon.
t Do not press too hard; the touch screen is sensitive enough to pick up a
light, yet firm touch.
t Use the tip of your finger to touch the option you want. Be careful not to
touch any other keys.

About Wi-Fi Calling
Wi-Fi Calling can improve your coverage and allows you to make phone calls
and send messages over a Wi-Fi network (when a Wi-Fi network is available).
Unless your rate plan provides otherwise, Wi-Fi Calling minutes count the same
as T-Mobile cellular calling minutes on your phone bill.
- To use Wi-Fi Calling, you must first turn on Wi-Fi, connect to a Wi-Fi network,
and then turn on Wi-Fi Calling.
- When the Wi-Fi Calling feature is on, your phone displays the Wi-Fi Calling
icon on the Status Bar.
- To stay on a Wi-Fi call, you must remain within range of the Wi-Fi network.
Your call will drop as you leave the Wi-Fi range. When your Wi-Fi signal
weakens, your phone will beep and display a warning message alerting you
that your call will drop if the signal gets weaker.
Wi-Fi Calling offers three connection options:
- Wi-Fi Preferred: All calls are made over an available Wi-Fi network. If there
are no available Wi-Fi networks calls are made over the cellular network.
- Cellular Network Preferred: All calls are made over the cellular network unless
the cellular network is not available, then calls are made over an available
Wi-Fi network.
- Never use Cellular Network: All calls are made over an available Wi-Fi
network. If there are no available Wi-Fi networks, your calls will not connect.
Call barring – Lock incoming, outgoing or international calls.
Call duration – View the duration of calls including Last call, All calls, Outgoing
calls and Incoming calls.
Additional settings – Allows you to change the following settings:
Caller ID: Choose whether to display your number in an outgoing call.
Call waiting: If call waiting is activated, the handset will notify you of an
incoming call while you are on a call (depending on your network provider).
