A Terms
aeroplane mode
A mode in which all the wireless services on your smartphone are turned
off. Wireless services include the phone network connection used for
making and receiving calls, the Wi-Fi feature, VPN and Bluetooth
®
wireless technology. See Turn wireless services off (aeroplane mode).
application menu
A menu hidden in the top left-hand corner of the screen that lists items
available in an application, such as cut, copy and paste (where
available), preferences and application help. To open the application
menu, drag down from the top left-hand corner of the smartphone (above
the screen) onto the screen, or tap the application name in the top
left-hand corner of the screen. See Open the application menu for details.
See also connection menu.
application search
A search feature that is available after you open certain applications. To
search, simply begin typing a search term when the list view is
displayed—for example, a contact name or phone number, the subject
text of an email message or a few words from a memo. See also Just
Type.
application update
An update from the developer of an application you installed through
App Catalog on your smartphone. You can check for application updates
manually in Software Manager. Additional fees may apply. See Manually
check for application updates.
back
The gesture you use to move up one level from a detailed view to a more
general view of the application you're working in. The back gesture is a
quick swipe from right to left in the gesture area. For example, when you
finish reading an email message, make the back gesture to close the
message and return to your list of messages. Or when you finish writing a
memo, make the back gesture to close and save the memo and return to
the display of all your memos. See Go up one level in an app (back
gesture). Making the back gesture is also the way you save your work in
many apps. If you don't see a Done button, make the back gesture to
save your work.
card
A minimised view of an open application. You can easily move among
and reorder cards in Card view. To reduce the app you're working in to a
card, tap the centre of the gesture area or flick up once from the gesture
area. Tap a card to restore the full-screen view of the application and
continue working in it. See also Card view. A group of related cards
appears in Card view as a card stack. See Work with stacked cards for
information.
Card view
The view on your smartphone that displays all open applications as
minimised cards, allowing you to easily move among and reorder them.
The background of Card view is your wallpaper. Don't confuse Card view
with the Launcher (see Launcher), which shows you all the apps installed
on your smartphone, not just the open ones. To get to Card view when an
app is displayed full-screen, flick up from the gesture area to the screen or
tap the centre of the gesture area.
connection menu
A menu hidden in the top right-hand corner of the screen that lets you turn
on/off wireless connection features such as Bluetooth
®
wireless
technology and your wireless service provider's network. To open the
connection menu, drag down from the top right-hand corner of the
smartphone (above the screen) onto the screen or tap the top right-hand
corner of the screen. See Open the connection menu for details. See also
application menu and aeroplane mode.
