Navigating Through the Screens on Samsung Galaxy Note 2

The following terms describe the most common hardware and on-screen actions.

  • Press and hold: Pressing relates to use of the hardware keys and buttons to select or activate an item. For example: press the Navigation key to scroll through a menu. Some buttons and keys require you to press and hold them to activate a feature, for example, you press the Lock key to lock and unlock the phone.
  • Tap: Use a brief touch to select items on the display or to enter text on the virtual QWERTY keyboard. For example: touch an Application icon to open the application. A light touch works best.
  • Touch and hold: Touch and hold an icon or key to open the available options, or to access a pop-up menu. For example: press and hold from the Home screen to access a menu of customization options.
  • Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than swiping. This finger gesture is always used in a vertical motion, such as when flicking through contacts or a message list.

  • Swipe or slide: Quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. This allows you to move the area of focus or to scroll through a list. For example: slide your finger left or right on the Home screen to scroll among the seven panels.
  • Drag: Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move it. Do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
  • Rotate: Automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the device sideways. For example: rotate to landscape orientation when entering text, to provide a larger keyboard, or when viewing web content to minimize scrolling.

  • Pinch: Pinch the screen using your thumb and forefinger to zoom out when viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out.)
  • Spread: Spread the screen using your thumb and forefinger to zoom in when viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers outward to zoom in.)

Note: These screens can be re-arranged in any desired order.

  • Motion Navigation and Activation: The device comes equipped with the ability to assign specific functions to certain device actions that are detected by both the accelerometer and gyroscope.

Note: Motion must be enabled for this feature to be active.
