Save information
• On most screens, your information is saved automatically. Just make the
back gesture to close the screen (see Go up one level in an app (back
gesture)), and your info is saved at the same time.
• On screens with a Done button, tap Done to save your information.
Use the menus
Most applications have an application menu hidden in the upper-left corner,
which provides access to additional features. There is also a connection
menu hidden in the upper-right corner, which provides access to wireless
services.
Some applications have additional menus. For example, in Photos, tap an
open picture and tap to display a menu of tasks you can do with the
picture (see Photos).
To get the most out of your phone, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself
with the additional features available through the menus in various
applications.
Open the application menu
The application menu contains options such as Cut and Copy, Preferences,
Help, and other application-specific commands.
TIP You can also use keyboard shortcuts to cut, copy, and paste. After
selecting the text or inserting the cursor, press and hold the gesture area until
the Center button lights up, and press X (cut), C (copy), or V (paste).
