Phone Features… 1. When a call comes in, you can silence the ring by pressing the Sleep/Wake button once. To send a caller directly to voicemail press the button twice. iPhone Keyboarding Tricks… 1. Typically apostrophes are auto suggested. In some cases like “it’s” you may mean its and therefore the iPhone will not autocorrect as you may have meant to type “its.” Below are some suggestions to resolve this when typing certain words requiring an apostrophe… • It’s – type itsa • He’ll – type helll • We’ll – type welll • We’re – type weree • They’re – type theyrr 2. Once you use a word that doesn’t exist in the built-in dictionary the iPhone will continue to use that word when you type it. Over time if you stop using that word it will forget the spelling and remove it from the dictionary. –Roughly Drafted 3. Typing by leaving your fingers on the keyboard and only lifting when the correct letter is displayed under your finger can be helpful when you first start using the iPhone keyboard. –Roughly Drafted 4. To avoid switching back and forth between ABC and 123 you can simply move your finger to the 123 button and without lifting your finger move it to the character/number you want to add, then lift your finger –David Pogue 5. If you have a lot of text to delete hold the delete key down and it will begin deleting letter-by-letter and eventually it will delete word-by-word if you keep holding it. –Roughly Drafted 6. No need to use the shift key after typing a “.” and then a space. The iPhone will automatically place a capital letter at the beginning of the next word, after a “.” space. You can over ride this setting by going to Settings -> General -> Keyboard and turning off Auto-Capitalization – David Pogue 7. Copying text is only possible from Notes to email. You cannot copy the text from an email to another email or to Notes, if you would like. If you would like to compose an email to multiple people, but you don’t want to send it to all the recipients in the same email, compose the text in Notes then send the email to each of them by copying the text in Notes to multiple emails. Safari… 1. When scrolling through safari to return to the top and the address bar double tap the top of the screen. –Maclife 2. To see the URL pertaining to a link hold your finger over a link and that link will display the URL in a web page. –Maclife 3. Double tapping on a section of text (ie column or frame) or an image within a web page will zoom just that section or image. Double tapping again, once zoomed, will zoom back out to the full page view. Pinching, of course, also works but it will not frame just that section of the web page. –Mobility Today Google Maps… 1. Unique to other applications like Safari and Mail, Google Maps requires two fingers to tap (once) in order to zoom out and one finger double-tap to zoom in. – Mobility Today Mail… 1. When viewing emails in your inbox or other boxes by sliding your finger across the email you will be presented with a delete button. This is an easy way to delete emails. -Apple 2. To make an email message “Unread” choose “Details” in the upper right corner of an email and then select “Mark as Unread.” -Apple Headphones… The mouthpiece on the headphones that come with the iPhone doubles as a button 1. When listening to the headphones and a call comes in you can pinch the button once to answer the call and click and hold to send the call to voicemail. - Maclife 2. When listening to music, pinch the button once to pause/resume the music playback and pinch it twice in succession to skip to the next song -Maclife 3. When viewing a video, pinch the button once to pause/resume the video –Maclife iPod Functionality… 1. You can change the default screen buttons when using the iPod (Playlists, Artists, Albums, Videos and More) by clicking the “More” button. Once in the More screen you can choose what you want (from Audiobooks, Compilations, Composers, Genres, Podcasts, and Songs) by dragging it to replace the current button(s) at the bottom of the screen. You can also rearrange the buttons by simply dragging them back and forth, as you would items in the dock in Mac OS X. –David Pogue 2. When watching a video if you double click on the video it will zoom in to eliminate the black bars (letterboxing), whether it’s on the top and bottom (16:9 typically used for movies) or on the sides (4:3 typically used by TV programs). Double tapping again on the video will zoom back to showing the black bars. Notice zooming in on the video will force some of the footage in the video off screen. iPhone General Functions… 1. To force quit a program press and hold the Home button for 6 seconds –David Pogue 2. To shut off your iPhone hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for 3 seconds and you can “slide to power off” or “Cancel.” Pressing the Sleep/Wake button will then power back up the device, as indicated by the Apple logo. 3. To completely reset the iPhone hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously for 8 seconds. –David Pogue 4. The light sensor, which sets the brightness of the screen will set the brightness depending on the light detected when the iPhone is woken from sleep. If you walk from a dark room to the bright light outside you may need to Sleep the iPhone and Wake it, to adjust the brightness. 5. When plugging in to some devices you may be presented with a dialog box stating, “This iPod device is not supported by the iPhone, would you like to set the phone in Airplane Mode. Simply choosing “No” will often allow you to utilize that device. In some cases holding the Home button for 6 seconds may allow that device to function after all. For example some iPod Integration kits in certain automobiles, may work despite getting this message. Examples include Volvo and Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep factory iPod Integration kits. In these instances the phone will continue to work normally, whether answering the phone itself or utilizing a Bluetooth headset or system in the car. When changing to the iPod functions on iPhone you should be able to play your audio through the speaker system in the vehicle. –Mac OS X Hints iPhone Hacks… 1. Dial *3001#12345#* to bring up the iPhone’s Field Test Tool. This will show you information including network status, signal strength, towers and more. Most of the information, unless you are an RF engineer, will not make much sense.
