Exciting iPhone Tips And Tricks

By Reese Parks


There are many iPhone tips and tricks that you can learn and practice every day in order to make the use of your iPhone 4 much more exciting and interesting. There are some general iPhone tips and tricks that work for all the iOS devices while others may only be available for the iPhone 4. Most of the following tips and tricks work in most iOS devices. You can thus try them out on iPad or your iPod Touch.

To reveal the hidden characters you need to press and hold some keys on the device keyboard. The keys that you can be held and expanded include letters N, C, Z, L, S, A, O, I, U, Y and E while symbols include percent (%), apostrophe ('), exclamation point (!), Question mark (?), period (.), Quotes (""), ampersand (&), dash (-) and Dollar sign ($).

For the quick caps and symbols, the usual way is tapping ?123 in order to access the keyboard for symbols or tapping the shift key quickly in order to capitalize a letter. Instead, you can do it faster by the holding your finger on any of the keys 1, 2 or 3 and then dragging that key that you need to type. For example, to quickly type 3 from your devices main keyboard, just hold the?123 key and then slide till you reach 3 then release it. This will take you back to the QWERTY main keyboard.

To restart your iPhone, you do it the usual way by holding the sleep button until the restart option pos up. However for the frozen phone, you can quickly restart it by holding simultaneously the sleep and home buttons till it turns off.

For quick screenshot you should hold down home button and hit sleep button. After doing this you should see camera flash. The image that has been taken will be saved in the photos folder. You can import screenshots in to iMac through the iPhoto application.

Most, indeed all the above iPhone tips and tricks are common to all the iOS devices. However, there are some other tricks such as locking of screen orientation, closing of background apps, spell check and searching the website and Wikipedia can only be tried in the devices that operate on the iOS 4 systems. The following are some tips on how to try these tricks.

For spell check on the iOS 4 you just need to simply hold the word that is underlined. Tap the replace button and you will see English dictionary spelling suggestions. All iPhone users know that it automatically changes the orientation when you rotate it. This can be really annoying especially if that is not what you wanted. To overcome this you just need to tap home button, swipe in order to access the controls on the left; at this point you can very easily control functionality of your iPhone including the locking of screen orientation.

To close the background applications you need to double tap as in locking the screen orientation but for this time you need to tap and then hold the application icon and simply tap the small minus (-) buttons in order to close those applications that are not wanted. To search website and Wikipedia, just scroll to the bottom of the results list.
