iPhone Tips and Tricks thread

Yes, if you go to cydia and go to search, type in: Makeitmine; or possibly even just Make. This lets you change where the time is to anything you want, and also the carrier logo to anything you want.

Oh, this slipped my mind. I mentioned cydia so of course, it has to be jailbroken to use this app.

Add blank icons on the home screen

When you move the apps icons on the screen, you can't let any blank space between them.

It's possible to to thi with th "Empty" website :
- Open Safari on your iPhone or iPod touch
- Go to this address : http://iempty.tooliphone.net
- Tap "Customize" menu
- Tap Safari "+" button
- Choose "Add to home screen"
- Tap "Add" button

A transparent icon has been added on the springboard.
You can edit/move/delete it like any other application icon.

It allows to organize your screens a little or to make them "funny", like this :

Awesome tips and tricks to use iphone and iphone applications. Nicely done by the all iphone application lovers and iphone app developers.
:)
 
don't know if this one has already been mentioned.

if you want to just play the audio of a youtube video (with the screen off), do this:

1) play the video in the youtube app
2) press the top button to turn the screen off (the video will stop)
3) press the middle button on your headphones. the audio will resume, but the screen stays off!

i use this to listen to TED talks while shopping for groceries.
 
Independant Volume Control.

Anyone Know of and app or any way to control ipod music volume independent of volume of a phone call. I like to have quiet music in the background when on phone calls. but the volume controls seem to control both at the same time. Any suggestions?
 
i have a problem with my iphone, with my handsfree exactly. if i am not pressing them in their muff i am not able to hear the person which i am talking to, but i can hear the music. i am very upset because i have been dreaming on this iphone for a long time. What do you think?

Whatever orientation you START recording in is the orientation that the whole video will be recorded in. So, to get landscape, just turn your phone in landscape mode THEN start recording. It will be in landscape on YouTube and iPhoto after that.

So if you don' t do that, how can you rotate the video so it is correct?

Idon't have iMovie 9
 
iempty Icon Question

So I'm still running a 3GS (non jail-broken) & when I installed iOS4 my iempty

icons became black & no luck w/ down loading new transparent ones.

Can anyone help?
 
I know that to scroll back to the top of the screen you tap the top bar on the iPhone BUT is there a shortcut the other way?

I've been reading a blog that's on a single page and the newest entries are at the foot of the page - takes minutes if you scroll down in conventional way.

Thx.
 
Using an old iPhone as an iPod

I have upgraded my iPhone and now want to use my old 8GB iphone as an iPod. How do I do this? I have already pulled the SIM card.
Thanks
 
iEmpty Icon Update

SciBearz the iempty WS states that iOS4 causes the transparent icons to become black. Nothing much can be done once you have iOS4 on your ph :mad: found this posted by them on their site & forgot to update this.
 
is there a blocklist feature for this? i'm new to the iphone, but my old tmobile phones were simple.. u see a number, you have the option to put it on a blocklist (but they can still access ur VM)
 
Attaching a picture to an email you've already started?

Does anybody know if there is a way you can attach a picture to a email you have already written?

I know the process of sending pictures via photos, share, email and send but I wondered if there was a way of doing once you've already started a mail?

Please help? Surely there must be a way? iPhones seem to do everything else.

If so: send me a mail explaining how please.

Calendar View

Hello Iphone Afficionados,

I was wondering if anyone has a tip for being able to view the calendar on the lock screen? I googled it and there was a lock calendar app but I can't seem to find this or anything useful in the App Store. In the Apps store I only find apps which allow a generic screen print of a calendar to be shown on the lock screen which doesn't help people like me who are forgetful about events. LOL I'd like my actual calendar to display which shows where I need to be today, tommorrow and so on.

Any help or other solutions for viewing the calendar would be greatly appreciated!

Yt,
Mel

With the new iOS, switching between applications is pretty simple. So after you've started the email, switch to Photos and find the picture you want to embed. Then, push and hold with one finger the picture until the "Copy" dialog pops up. Copy it, double tap the Home button and select the email icon and then press and hold with a single finger where you want to place the copy of the picture until the "Select | Select All | Paste" popup shows up. Obviously select "Paste". Give it a shot, it's worked for me quite well.

I also like to start the email and save it in my drafts folder for easier reference when copy/pasting multiple pictures/object. That way, just in case, there should be a "backup" on the server.
