Cell Phones

right. I can't imagine the battery holding up to music playing on a cross country flight.

 

Well if you put it on airplane mode it shuts off everything extra and you should get close to the iPhone's advertised music playback: 24 hours. If you want to be sure to get maximum video/music playback on an airplane, you can also consider turning of the Equalizer (EQ), which will actually end up sucking a good amount of power over time if you are listening to tunes.

2.1 is rockin' so far

 

way way faster and apps install very quickly from the phone (i stopped doing it after a while and just did it straight from iTunes after 2 fuckups needing hard restores)

 

also, after the app finishes upgrading, they go back to the place they were. whereas before it fucked up any customized home page ordering you had done . they really need to add home page folders here soon, it's gotta happen.

I'm having far fewer email issues with 2.1

I just got mine tonight 8 gb after they decided to 'lift the ban' on not allowing employees buy them within the first 30 days we carried them...WOO HOO....i am waiting on my phone number to change over to the iPhone..it's still on my other phone.

 

Anyone have any tips for me?

I have a tip: don't use your wall charger, because they are being recalled.

Any other amazing tips Oblivious?

 

 

-If you hold down the "home" button and then click the "hold" button on the top-right of the iPhone, the iPhone will flash white once. This means that its just taken a screenshot of whatever you have on the screen. Maybe you want to show off your high score on the highly addictive game Tris, or want to post a totally awesome text message conversation you just had. In any event, the screenshot is now in your "Photos" application under "camera roll"

 

-Seriously, download Shazam and wow all your friends. (see above)

 

-If you are listening to music on the earbuds that come with the iPhone, you can click the microphone thingy twice quickly to skip to the next song....and click it three times to go to the previous song, all without taking the iPhone out of your pocket.

 

-Don't accidentally send a text message to your brother-in-law when you meant to send it to a lady friend.

Thanks

Been sitting here and trying to learn to use it.

Just remembered you can turn it sideways to see the screen better...and accidentally zoomed in but not sure how I did it!

Just added Facebook and Twitter apps..trying to figure out other ones to add.

Thanks for the tip!

couple other cool things...since the iPhone automatically knows which way you are holding it, if you take a picture with the camera sideways, it will automatically rotate it for you, and you won't have to do it when you put it on your computer.

 

Facebook and Twitter are nice apps, I also use the AIM application. Aurora Feint is a really cool free puzzle game. Pandora works very well, and AOL radio will use your location to give you a list of radio stations to listen in your area.

 

As far as zooming in, you can either use the pinch/stretch method or double click on areas of the browser. I tend to use the latter more. So like, if you want to look at someones avatar on VC, instead of pinching in a few times to see what it is, just doubleclick the picture and the screen will zoom in to fit the size of the pic.

What is Pandora? I've heard of it but don't know how it's used. I use MSN, AIM and Skype. I was hoping to find Skype but didn't. Thanks for the tips on the zooming I'll try that I haven't taken any photos yet, only turned on the camera in the store and haven't since I came home.

Pandora is a radio station tailored to your likes and dislikes. You start off by putting in one or a couple artists that you like, and it will play a song by the artist. It will then go through its database of songs and play you a song it thinks you will like. You give the songs thumbs up or thumbs down, and it eventually gets to be very good at playing you music you might like. Its a good option when you feel like listening to stuff thats not on your iPhone.

Great! Cause after buying a bigger new iPod this summer after my first one got stolen I'm not looking to put much music on the phone. Thanks!!

just remember, no matter how good it might look, don't eat your iPhone.

 

[VenusStopsTrain2]

i'll try not to eat it.

so I added the suggested apps plus Hangman and Sudoku. I worked on my contacts, had issues pulling it in from Outlook so ended up typing all the numbers in after outlook only sent the names across.
