Entering Text
Your device comes equipped with an orientation detector that
can tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or
sideways (Landscape) orientation. This is useful when
entering text.
Your device also provides several on-screen keypad text
entry options to make the task of text entry that much easier.
Text Input Methods
There are three text input methods available:
Google voice typing
: allows you to enter text by speaking.
Samsung keyboard (default)
: Samsung’s on-screen
QWERTY keypad that can be used in both portrait and
landscape orientation.
Swype
: a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead
of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each
letter of a word.
