Te r m s
airplane mode
A mode in which all the wireless services on your phone are turned off.
Wireless services include the phone used for making and receiving calls, the
Wi-Fi feature, and Bluetooth
®
wireless technology. See Turn w i rel ess
services off (airplane mode).
application menu
A menu that contains application commands such as cut, copy, and paste
(where available); preferences; and application help. To open the application
menu, tap the application name in the upper-left corner of the screen. See
also connection menu.
application search
The feature that lets you search for entries within an application by 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 universal search.
application update
An update from the developer of an application you bought through App
Catalog on your phone. When an application update is available, a
notification appears on your phone. You can also check for application
updates manually. Additional fees may apply. See Update the software on
your phone.
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. 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 minimized view of an open application. You can easily move among and
reorder cards in Card view. Tap a card to restore the full-screen view of the
application and continue working in it. See also Card view.
Card view
The view on your phone that displays applications as minimized cards,
allowing you to easily move among and reorder them. Don’t confuse Card
view with the Launcher, which along with Quick Launch, shows you all the
apps you have on your phone, not just the open ones. To display Card view
from any open application window, flick up from the gesture area to the
screen, or tap the center of the gesture area. Card view displays your
wallpaper.
connection menu
A menu that lets you turn on or off connection features including the Wi-Fi
feature, Bluetooth
®
wireless technology, and all wireless services (airplane
mode). To open the connection menu, tap the upper-right corner of the
screen. See also application menu.
dashboard
A list of all your notifications. When one or more notification icons appear at
the bottom of the screen, tap the icons to open the dashboard. Tap a
dashboard item to act on it. See also notification.
