The iPhone has three cool sensors. First, it has an accelerometer that detects when you’ve rotated the iPhone into landscape orientation. In programs like Photos, Safari, and iPod, it triggers the screen image to rotate as well. Camouflaged behind the black glass where you can’t see them except with a bright flashlight are two more sensors: a proximity sensor that shuts off the screen illumination and touch sensitivity when the phone is against your head (it works only in the Phone...

Rotation Inhibitor: SBSettings Toggle Allows you to Disable Accelerometer Though the accelerometer is one of the coolest features of the iPhone, I find it annoying everytime I move around in bed while reading on the iPhone, as the screen keeps rotating.

Luckily, I stumbled upon a SBSettings Toggle aptly called Rotation Inhibitor which allows you to disable the... Read more...

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...

Did you know that everytime you send iPhone photos via email, the iPhone automatically crunches those photos down to 800×600. Thats not very good if you want to take a printout or store full 2048×1526 size on your laptop for future reference. Yes iPhone saves every photo you click at this very resolution 2048×1526 :). Now; how would you send a 2048×1526 picture from iPhone? Here is a simple trick shared by DaringFireball’s John Gruber: Good tip: If you use copy-and-paste instead of... Read more...
Pick up one of those new-fangled iPhones over the weekend? You might want to activate one of the most helpful features you can have on the "Slide to Unlock" screen: an actual percentage indicator for your battery, rather than a somewhat relative cannister filled with green power. To enable it, head to Settings, General, and then Usage to toggle "Battery Percentage" to On. For whatever reasons, this only works with the new hardware handsets, not on software upgrades of "older" iPhones, but it's... Read more...
iPhone: You can get on the internet DURING a call! You can only do this if your connected to a WIFI network (it wont work via edge), just hit the home key and click on Safari. Now your surfing while talking! The person on the other end can’t hear the keyboard clicks either!
A number of complaints regarding the iPhone 3GS' battery have surfaced on Apple's discussion board since the handset's June 19 launch. Given Apple's promises of a faster and longer lasting iPhone, it's understandable that 3GS users, particularly those who have made the jump from the previous models, have higher expectations. Preliminary battery testing on our iPhone 3GS review model showed positive results, but we won't know the whole story until CNET Labs finishes its tests. Until that time, I... Read more...
I think I’ve found a way to get the loudest speaker volume on an iPhone or have stupidly messed up my tiny speaker on my iPhone. But the honest true, it works NICE & CLEAR… I was playing around with trying to get my iphone speaker volume louder and my ringtones, but I wasn’t happy with the different changes on my “SystemSoundMaximunVolume.plist” so, I grabbed a needle and sticked it into every single tiny hold on the bottom left corner of the iPhone. I think it was dirty in there or... Read more...
