iPhone Tips

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.

Mobile Phones and Driving - Safety Tips

When using a mobile phone while driving, safety is the most important call you will make. All drivers can make safety their first priority by following these ten simple steps. 1. Always Use Hands Free In Australia it is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving unless you use a hands free in-car-kit or portable hands free device. When using a portable hands free device make sure it is set up and working before you start to drive. A hands free device can reduce the physical effort to make and receive calls; however, it alone doesn?t make using a mobile phone while driving safe. 2. Plan Your Trip and Make Calls When Stationary Whenever possible plan your trip and make calls when stationary or during rest breaks in long trips. 3. Don?t Call in Heavy Traffic or Weather Conditions Don?t accept or make calls if traffic and weather conditions could make it unsafe to do so. Also, even if the traffic conditions are light, always tell the person you are speaking to that you?re driving and that you may have to end the call if driving conditions change. 4. Don?t Engage in Complex or Emotional Conversations If a call becomes complex or emotional tell the person you are speaking to, you are driving and suspend the call. Complex and emotive conversations on a mobile phone, or with other passengers, and driving don?t mix they are distracting and can be dangerous. 5. Use Message Services to Answer Calls If a call is unnecessary or you consider it unsafe to answer at the time, don?t answer the call. Let it divert to voicemail or an answering service.

Mind Your Mobile Manners

The mobiles industry wants as many people as possible to enjoy the benefits of mobile telecommunications and encourages individuals to use their mobile phones in a responsible manner and to be considerate and aware of situations where using their mobile phone might annoy others. 1. When in doubt, always go out When possible go outside or to another room to make your call if your call might disturb others. Also, features such as text messaging answering services, call diversion and vibration alert can be used to receive important calls without disturbing others. 2. If you can?t turn it off, use silent mode If you need to keep your phone on for important calls, then turn it to silent or vibrate mode. It?s the ring of a mobile phone in inappropriate places and times such as at the tennis or in restaurants which annoys people the most. 3. When required turn your phone off and check it?s off There are some places where people should never talk on a mobile phone or send text messages and where the ringing of a mobile phone or message alert is considered highly unacceptable, such as: movies, stage shows, weddings, funerals, concerts, speeches, classrooms and lectures. In these cases, turn your phone off and remember to check it?s off before you enter the venue. You can always check your voicemail, text messages or your answering service afterwards. 4. Keep your conversations private People?s sense of personal space varies in each situation. Making a call in a busy pub may be okay, but talking loudly in a confined space like a lift or on a train tends to infringe on others personal space. Be aware of where you are and who you are with and what others are doing before deciding to make or accept a call. In some situations it might be better to send a text message. 5. Speak softly Mobile phones have very sensitive microphones that can pick even the softest voice, so there is no need to shout. If you are having trouble hearing the other caller, check that you have the volume on your phone set high enough.

Tips on buying your mobile

An increasing number of people of all ages own mobile phones, enjoying the convenience, freedom and re-assurance they provide. There is a range of different handsets and contracts available, providing mobile communication solutions to suit consumers (1) What's your budget? Before you do anything else, think about why you want a mobile phone and determine your budget. There are numerous types of call plan, to suit various budgets and needs. There are also services available to help you keep track of what you spend consider whether this would help you and check out what options are available. (2)What are your usage patterns? How often will you be using the phone, at what time of day and what will be your average call length? Will you be using the phone mostly for voice calls, or to SMS friends? Your usage patterns may help determine what type of plan is best for you and your budget. (3) What types of plan are available? There are four basic types of service agreement: fixed-term contracts, monthly plans, pre-paid or leasing. Pre-paid is ideal if you want to ensure you stay within a specified budget - perfect for teenagers. Getting a pre-paid first is also a good way of finding out what your usage is and helping you decide what type of plan might best suit you. Monthly plans allow you the flexibility of receiving monthly bills without signing a long-term contract. Business users may prefer the convenience of fixed-term, while leasing may suit you if you only need a phone and handset for a short time. New capped' plans (available post or pre-paid, depending on mobile carrier) also offer convenience and value and may suit many users. (4) What are the call rates within each plan? Call rates vary from plan-to-plan. It's important to assess both the rates and the call charge calculation methods when assessing your options. Issues to consider include: How are call charges calculated? On some plans you will be billed per second, on others, per block of time used (usually per 30 or 60 seconds), or, on the newer capped' deals (post and pre-paid), call caps' apply to many services, providing value and certainty; Is there a flag fall (an amount paid for each connection, in addition to call costs)? Are there any special offers (eg cheaper calls off-peak, or to friends on the same network, or for SMS)? (5) What features do you need in a handset? A basic handset will allow you to make calls and send and receive SMS. You'll need a more sophisticated one if you want to use the phone abroad, use MMS, voice recording, make video calls, download video or access the internet. Other features to consider are battery capacity (some handsets run longer between charges than others), ease of use, and your coverage requirements (see coverage'). Consider what you really need or you'll be paying for features you never use. If you already have a handset, are you eligible for other plans? (6) How much flexibility do you need? Consider your need for flexibility - and your budget - before you buy a handset or take out a plan. Are you likely to want the flexibility to upgrade your handset when a new one becomes available? Might you want to change to a different plan in six months? There are many different options for paying for handsets (e.g. up-front, flexi-rent deals, as part of your service agreement), and different plans (whether pre-paid or post-paid) have different terms and conditions for example some include penalties for changing networks, or plans, for example. Read the small print and check you can meet all the minimum conditions of the contract before signing anything. (7) What coverage do you require? Where will you be using the phone only in metropolitan areas, or in the country? The two dominant types of mobile network are GSM and CDMA. Check with the carriers where they have coverage to ensure they can provide the service where you need it before signing up. Your coverage requirements may also affect your handset choice (there are CDMA and GSM handsets). (8) Evaluate the options. Once you've worked out what you need/want, do your homework; shop around and compare what is available, and what will best suit your likely usage and budget.

5 Tips to Make Your Cell Phone Battery Last Longer

Reducing power consumption helps fight global warming Batteries can have a much longer life, if people follow just a few simple tips on how to save their power <div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="..." border="0" height="360" name="post_img_resize_2" src="http://news.softpedia.com/images/news2/5-Tips-to-Make-Your-Cell-Phone-Battery-Last-Longer-2.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="..." width="360" /> </div>Modern mobile phones have numerous applications installed, as well as a bunch of other features, including photo cameras, blitzes, Bluetooth devices and others. All these accessories take up large amounts of electricity from the battery, prompting users to recharge them more often. This consumes a lot of electric energy, placing unnecessary strain on power plants, to supply more juice. Using energy-saving settings is a great way of reducing the overall electrical consumption of your phone, especially if you turn off the back light, which accounts for the depletion of the battery to a great extent. Screen-savers are also huge power drains, as they animate the screen even when the phone is still in the pocket. New photo editing software, built into most mobile phones, are undoubtedly a great way of fine-tuning a photo on the spot, freshly after the moment it was taken. But using the blitz and the included pieces of software places great strain on the battery, which may need recharging after a couple of hours playing with these accessories. A good way to avoid this is by taking pictures in sunny spots, where additional lights are not required, and editing them at home. Usually, if you stop an average guy on the street and take his phone, you will notice it has Bluetooth and WiFi turned on, as well as GPS, e-mail applications and several feeds, for the weather, sports results, news and whatnot. Turning all these applications off once you've finished working with them is a great way to save power. Also, when on the move, turn off the phone completely, as there's no signal anyway, and it takes a lot of power for the device to look for a connection. Headsets are another one of life's little wonders, especially in a crowded place, where movements such as reaching inside your pocket are impossible. But you don't necessarily need a Bluetooth device for that; corded headphones work just as well. In fact, they might save you from curious glances, which are inevitably drawn to you when people think you're talking to yourself. The next step is the easiest one – simply take care of the battery physically. Its contacts may become covered in dust or other such stuff, so cleaning them once in a while might prove to be an excellent idea. The link between the phone and the battery itself will be near perfect, and the amounts of electricity the battery will need to generate will be much smaller.

Here are 10 things to consider when you get ready to upgrade phones. 1. Connectivity Does the phone connect well with your computer and other devices? Some phones have bluetooth and can keep your address book synchronized every time you come near your computer. Others require a USB connection. Some only have synchronization software that works with particular operating systems. Make sure you know that the device will connect with the things that are important to you before you buy it. 2. Email People are using their phones for email more and more. Make sure you understand not only what the device is capable of, but also what type of data plan you will need to get it to work. The ideal setup is having full syncing for contacts, calendars and email over the wireless network. If this is set up right, you should be able to add a contact to your desktop computer and pull it up on your phone within a few minutes without needing to do anything else. 3. Battery Life My Blackberry will last two or three days on a single charge. Many phones will only last 12 to 18 hours. Make sure you get a phone that has battery life that is compatible with your usage patterns. A phone is only useful if it has power, and if you may only have a chance to charge it every other day, make sure you get a phone that isn’t going to be constantly going dead on you. 4. Network and Bands Different areas use different types of cellular technology that aren’t always compatible. For example, it used to be very difficult to get GSM coverage in rural America. This has gotten a lot better over the last few years, but it is still a big issue if you travel internationally. There are many areas where CDMA just won’t work. Some phones are designed to work on many different systems (more on this later). 5. International Usage If you plan to use a phone internationally, make sure you understand where it will work, where it won’t and what types of plans are available. If you do extensive traveling, it might be cost effective to get a SIM card at your destination. Make sure your phone supports using a SIM card from a different cell phone company. Some of the international phones will let you add a SIM card (GSM technology) even though they are sold from a CDMA carrier in the US. Be sure you understand how the data plans work internationally. I’ve heard many horror stories about people coming back with thousands of dollars in cell phone charges because they checked their email overseas. In my experience, Blackberry is one of the few phones where you can get a flat rate on international data usage. 6. Keyboard If you plan to use your phone for responding to email or typing SMS messages, make sure they keyboard is easy to use. I’ve tried a number of different keyboards and have given up on using anything other than a full QWERTY layout. I know there are people who can type 40 WPM using a regular numeric pad, so you may be fine with a different type of keyboard. Just make sure the keyboard supports the way you want to use your phone. 7. Airplane Mode If you spend a lot of time in a plane, it might be worth getting a phone that you can use with the wireless turned off. This is useful on planes so you can answer emails, play games, look up contacts, etc. in an “offline” mode. 8. Software It is worth considering the software that is available for your phone. The iPhone has a very extensive app store with all kinds of different programs. Blackberry has recently released an app store as well. It may be worth browsing some of the offerings before deciding on a phone so you’ll have an idea of what third party programs might be useful to you. 9. Standard Charger It is much easier to keep your phone charged if it uses the same charger as some of your other devices. The standard seems to be converging on a USB connection. However, some phones use a standard USB connection, but will only work with specific brand chargers. The Razr V3 is like this. If you try to charge it from a standard USB cable, it won’t work. (There is some software for the Mac that works around this, but it is still a pain.) 10. Additional Memory If you may want to expand the memory on your phone, make sure you know what it is capable of. For example, just because a 4 GB card will fit in your phone, doesn’t mean that the phone’s operating system is capable of utilizing all that space.

Depending on how they are configured, a few features may decrease your iPhone 3G battery life. For example, Using 3G cellular networks loads data faster, but may also decrease battery life, especially in areas with limited 3G coverage. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iPhone 2.0 or later software and may help extend your battery life. * Turn off 3G You’ll get slower web-surfing and data-speeds, but You will still be able to make and receive calls and access cellular data networks via EDGE or GPRS where available. Go to Settings > General > Network > Enable 3G and toggle ‘OFF’ * Minimize use of location services Applications that actively use location services such as Maps may reduce battery life. Go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed. * Turn off Wi-Fi Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and set Wi-Fi to ‘OFF’. Note that if you frequently use your iPhone to browse the web, battery life may be improved by using Wi-Fi instead of cellular data networks. * Turn off Bluetooth You can also turn off Bluetooth to save power. Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and set Bluetooth to Off. * Change Fetch Data Setting The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain so Fetch new data less frequently! From the Home screen choose Settings > Fetch New Data and tap Manually. You can set your interval to 30 Minutes or 1 Hour. To increase the fetch interval, go to Settings > Fetch New Data and tap Hourly. Note that this is a global setting and applies to all applications that do not support push services. * Turn off Push Mail Turn off push mail when you don’t need it. Go to Settings > Fetch New Data and set Push to Off. Messages sent to your push email accounts will now be received on your phone based on the global Fetch setting rather than as they arrive.

Bluetooth Connection Guide

This is a "How To" for Connecting the Nokia Series 60 device (Nokia 7650, 6600, 3650, 3660 etc...) via Bluetooth TM with the Windows Widcomm software used by TDK, Billington, MSI and others Bluetooth USB Vendors. The guide was created with the 7650 hadset but the steps are similar for other Series 60 devices and have been checked with the 3650 and 6600. 1. Pairing the computer and the Series 60 Handset Pairing is the process of swapping pass keys and setting up a trusted connection between the Bluetooth USB adapter / card connected to the PC and the 7650 handset. Save any files and close any applications you may have been working on. 2. Set up Bluetooth TM on the 7650 by going to the Main Menu, selecting Connect and then Bluetooth. 3. Make sure the Bluetooth option is On and My Phone's Visibility is Shown to all. Remember what is in My Bluetooth Name - or edit it to one of your choice - this is what your 7650 will be seen as by other Bluetooth TM devices. 4. Right Click on the Bluetooth Icon in the system tray, on the menu that appears go to Setup and then click on Security. 5. A window appears and all being well the right hand pane will have your 7650 (titled what ever you have entered into the phone's My Bluetooth Name entry). If nothing appears click Refresh and your phone should then appear. Highlight the 7650 and click Execute Pairing. 6. A window will pop up asking for a PassKey. Enter in a numeric only passkey and click OK. 7. On the 7650 a screen pops up asking you to enter a passkey - key in the same number you just typed into the PC. 8. By default any connections from your PC to the 7650 must be manually accepted on the 7650. You have an option to set up a connection from the PC to your 7650 as authorized, this means when you connect from the PC to the phone it won't ask you if it's ok and will connect automatically. 9. To set it as automatic: On the 7650 in the Bluetooth TM Setting Screen, you joystick right to the Paired Devices screen, highlight the Computer you just paired with and press Options, select Set as Authorized and Yes. You will then see a padlock icon beside the paired device - this device will no longer require manual authorization for connections to the 7650. Now you should set My phone's visibility to Hidden - so that unknown devices searching won't see your phone. You can still be connected to by any paired devices. Remember to switch it to Visible if you want to pair with a new device or receive a file / business card from someone with an unpaired device.
