You can also download widgets from Android Market To move an item on the Home screen 1 Touch & hold the item you want to move, until it vibrates. Don’t lift your finger. 2 Drag the item to a new location on the screen. Pause at the edge of the screen to drag the item onto another Home screen pane. 3 When the item is where you want it, lift your finger. 10 To remove an item from the Home screen 1 Touch & hold the item you want to remove, until it vibrates.

Touch Gallery to use a picture that you have captured using the camera or copied to your phone as a wallpaper. Touch Live wallpaper to open a scrolling list of animated wallpapers installed on your phone. Some live wallpapers change according to the time of day, in response to touching the screen, tell the time, or offer other information. Some live wallpapers have a Settings button. Touch Wallpapers to open a screen where you can sample the wallpaper images that come with the phone. Slide the miniature images left and right to view the samples. Touch a sample to view a larger version. 3 Touch Save or Set wallpaper. Using the touchscreen The main way to control Android features is by using your finger to manipulate icons, buttons, menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on the touchscreen. You can also change the screen’s orientation. Touch To act on items on the screen, such as application and settings icons, to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or to press onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your finger. Touch & hold Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a menu for customizing the Home screen, you touch an empty area on the Home screen until the menu opens. Drag Touch & 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 drag items on the Home screen to reposition them, and you drag to open the Notifications panel, as described in “Managing notifications” on page 14. Swipe or slide To swipe or slide, you 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 slide the screen up or down to scroll a list, and in some Calendar views you swipe quickly across the screen to change the range of time visible. Double-­‐tap Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map, or other screen to zoom. For example, you double-­‐tap a section of a webpage in Browser to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-­‐tap to control the Camera zoom, in Maps, and in other applications. Double-­‐tapping after pinching to zoom in some applications, such as Browser, reflows a column of text 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). 11 Rotate the screen On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates with the phone as you turn it from upright to its side and back again.

When you receive a notification, its icon appears in the Status bar, along with a summary that appears only briefly. For a table of notification icons, see “Notification icons” on page 13. Depending on your settings, you may also hear a notification sound or the phone may vibrate. Applications whose activities produce notifications, such as Gmail and Google Talk, have their own settings, which you can use to configure whether and how they send notifications, whether they sound a ringtone, vibrate, and so on. To open the Notifications panel The Notifications panel displays your wireless provider and a list of your current notifications. Notifications about ongoing activities are listed first, followed by Notifications about events, such as new mail notifications. Drag the Status bar down from the top of the screen. An alternative approach is to go to the Home screen and press the Menu button on the phone. Then touch Notifications. Android basics
