Keyboard: Shortcuts

E-mail Print PDF

The trick David Pogue mentions for entering a period (hold down the punctuation key and then slide to the period and release) will allow you to enter anything on the non-alpha keyboard and return to the alpha keyboard in one swipe.

When typing a text message, hold your finger over the text field and it will enable a small magnifying glass that lets you move back and forward through text and spaces.

To type in all caps, go to Settings>Keyboard and make sure ‘Enable Caps Lock’ is ON. Then when you’re typing a message, just double tap the cap key on the keyboard and it locks.

If you are writing something and the iPhone flags a word as misspelled that you know is not misspelled, cancel the correction 3 times and the word will be put into the dictionary. If you write a lot, this feature is quite useful!

1. Type “welll” (3 L’s) and the iPhone will auto correct to “We’ll”

2. Type “Helll” (3 L’s) and the iPhone will auto correct to “He’ll”

3. Type “itsa” and the iPhone will auto correct to “It’s”

4. Type “weree” (2 E’s) and the iPhone will auto correct to “We’re”

(In general, repeating the last letter will tell us its a contraction. The “itsa” is an exception since it could go either way. Think “it’s a…” No need for jumping over to the secondary keyboard at all for the apostrophe.

Selling your iPhone 3G: Cha-ching!

Apple and AT&T aren't the only ones who can make a little money off selling iPhones. You can, too. Apparently, there's still a fairly robust resale market for the iPhone 3G -- even after Apple dropped it's price by a $100 a few weeks back. Just check out eBay: you'll see prices all over the map -- yet pretty generous -- for used 3G phones. Some are even making a profit on selling their used iPhones.   Mind you, Apple cut the price of the 3G version to $99 for the 8GB model, while the... Read more...

What to do if your iPhone gets wet

Place your iPhone in a plastic bag with a few silica packets. Put your iPhone in a hearing aid... Read more...

How to Replace a Cracked iPhone 3G Screen

  Since having a child last year, my wife and I often find ourselves confirming that gravity does, in fact, continue to function well. Our toddler trips, sits down abruptly, and drops things from all heights as one would expect from someone still figuring out how her body is working. You can see where this is going.  One day recently, my daughter reached for something shiny and swiped the corner of my wife's iPhone 3G, spinning it off the table and onto one of its corners against...

About duplicate contacts and calendars on iPhone 3.0

When I synced my iPhone after the iPhone 3.0 OS upgrade, I wound up with double contacts and calendar entries. Checking every Mac in the house, as well as MobileMe, though, revealed no duplicate entries. They were only on the iPhone. As I dug into the problem on the iPhone, I discovered that these weren't actually true duplicates (i.e. the same event is entered twice on the same calendar), but rather I had two distinct groups of calendars and contacts. In both apps, when I tapped the Groups... Read more...
