Advice That Will Get You Comfortable With You Iphone

By Charesse Diaz


Do you own an iphone but, feel like you are not getting the full use of your device? Do you see other people interacting with their iphones more effectively? If this sounds like you, you can learn about your iphone and different ways to maximize your usage of it, starting today.

To disable your edge connection or 3G GRPS connection, press the setting button. Then tap general, network, and cellular data network. When you get to the field that asks for your APN username and password, put in a few words that will prevent your iPhone from giving providers the right values. Then restart your phone.

Make calls directly from your browser. If you are using your iPhone to look up information and would like to place a call to a number you find, it is not necessary to exit Safari to dial. Simply click on the number, and the phone will dial the number for you.

Before putting your iPhone to sleep, press the home button. This ensures that all apps are turned off, and it saves you battery life in the process. If you simply put the phone to sleep without pressing home, you may have some apps running in the background and reduce your battery life.

Sometimes your iPhone gets flummoxed by the position you're holding it in and switches back and forth from portrait to landscape over and over. You don't have to shift position to counteract this problem. You can easily lock your iPhone into portrait-only mode. Just open the Home menu and swipe the recent app list from left to right. This gets you to the music controls, but the last icon in the list is the screen orientation lock.

If your iPhone freezes up and you can't seem to get it to work, try mashing both the home and the sleep buttons simultaneously. After that, follow the instructions on the screen. This will bring your device back to life, although it will take a few minutes as the iPhone closes down and then comes back on.

When typing in a web address to visit a page, sometimes you may not know the domain name ending. Even if you do, there is a way to get it in the address bar faster. In the iphone world, this is very helpful. All you do is hold down the .com button in order to see different domain name endings. You can then choose from the list.

If you happen to lose your iPhone, finding it is very simple. Once you realize the phone is missing, use the "Find my iPhone" feature to find it on a map and to secure the data you have stored. You can even have a message pop up on the phone's screen!

When typing a URL in your iPhone's Safari browser, you can hold down the ".com" button at the bottom of the keyboard to bring up a list that contains other domain suffixes. To choose one, just glide your finger over them and release when the appropriate suffix is highlighted.

Many iPhone users are often annoyed when the device suggests a word that just doesn't make sense as they are typing. Don't try to maneuver your fingers and push the little "x" on the screen; you can touch anywhere on the screen to get rid of the suggestion. This saves time and frustration.

Apple has made it super easy to get definitions for words. Whenever you see a word, you want to get a definition for, whether it's in an email, a text message, or on the internet, you can press on the word for a second or two, and a little pop-up will come up where you can select define.

You can use an application on the iphone that shows you your pace during your run workouts. You can keep track of your pace with this application and determine if you are making any real progress or not. Try this application out and let it push you to get the most out of your workouts.

In conclusion, there aren't too many smartphones that can match the power of the iPhone. It can do all of the basic things you need, such as making calls, and so much more. The full power of your iPhone can be reached when you use the tips from this article wisely.
