HTC 200 Manuel D’Utilisation

Phone Basics  35

Swipe or slide

To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or 

horizontally across the screen.

Drag

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.

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 through the contacts or 

message list.

Rotate

For most screens, you can automatically change the screen 

orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. 

When entering text, you can turn the phone sideways to bring up a 

bigger keyboard. Refer to Chapter 4 for more details.

Note 

The 

Orientation check box in HOME

 

( 

 ) > MENU > Settings > 

Sound & display needs to be selected for the screen orientation to 

automatically change.

Pinch

For some applications, like Photos or Internet, you can “pinch” the 

screen using 2 fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to zoom 

in or zoom out when viewing a picture or a web page. You can also 

pinch Home screen to display its screen thumbnails.
