iPhone Tips and Tricks thread - Mac Forums
Now that we have had our iPhone's for more than 3 days, i thought it would be a good idea if we could compile all the little things that make our iPhone experience even better than it already is. There will be a lot more people purchasing iPhone's in the future so it would be great for new owners to stop by here and get acquainted with the iPhone's features straight off the bat.
Start posting your findings! Findings will be indexed as and when updated.
Cheers.

iPhone Tips
Phone: To stop an incoming call from ringing, press the sleep / wake button. To send the call immediately to VoiceMail, press the sleep / wake button twice.
Email: To delete email by just swiping left to right on the email in the list and press the delete button that pops up on the right
Caller ID: If you select a photo for a contact from the iPhone, the selected photo is shown full screen for the caller ID
Caller ID: If a contacts photo is transferred with the contact's info from the Address Book, the contact's photo is shown as a thumbnail (just like with the commercials) for the caller ID
Keystroke Saver: 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
iPhoto: The phone shows up in iPhoto (turn off in image capture)
iPhoto: You can use 'Camera is not Apple iPhone' in a smart playlist
iPhoto: A contacts picture folder /album is a good idea
iPhoto: A wallpaper folder / album is a good idea
iPhone: Keeping the favorites screen open allows you to unlock the screen then dial with three motions
iPhone: The home button can be used to access unlocking instead of sleep wake
iPhone: To use the CAPS LOCK feature, make sure it is enabled in the General Settings. To use it, simply double-tap on the shift key. The shift key will turn blue
Google Maps: Typing in the three letter airport code while in maps will bring the airport up on the map. So if you are trying to view a map of say Renton, WA. Typing SEA (or sea) will bring up the Seattle airport. It's relatively quick to zoom out, recenter over Renton, and zoom in again. It seems to recognize all primary and secondary US airports and many overseas airports as well.
A link to find airport codes: http://www.orbitz.com/App/global/airportCodes.jsp#USK
Safari: When you've scrolled down to the bottom of a page, and you want to go back to the top- just tap on the top bar of the phone (where "AT&T" and the time are) and the page jumps right back up to the beginning
Safari: Doesn't provide scroll bars for text area form fields and scrollable areas in a text page. An example of this is the field I'm using to type this message in. Dragging a single finger on the page scrolls the page. If you want to scroll one of the areas I just described, use two fingers
Safari: To email a page to someone tap on the address bar. The Share button on the top left will create a message for you!
Safari: Page down. When not using a zoomed-in display, double-tap towards the bottom of the screen. The page will re-center around your tap. Make sure not to tap a link!
Safari: Jump to the top. Double-tap the very top of the screen, just below the time display to pop back to the top of the page
Safari: Zoom onto a single picture. Double-tapping images in Safari zooms them to fit your iPhone display. If the picture is linked to a URL, this can prove a little tricky but it works great for non-linked images. Double-tap again to return to the unzoomed display.
Safari: Zoom a column. You can zoom text columns as well as pictures. Double-tap on the column to fit it to the display. Double-tap again to return out of the zoom. Not only does Safari zoom block-quoted text independently of regular text but if you move your finger after the first double-tap-to-fit, it interprets the next double-tap as a re-center page command rather than a return-to-previous-zoom. Smart.
Safari: Stopping a scroll. After flicking a page to get it to scroll, you can tap the page at any time to stop that movement. Don't forget, you can also manually drag the screen display to reset the part you're viewing.
Safari: Manual zoom. This is probably one of the most-advertised Safari features (along with the flip-the-phone-on-its-side-trick) but it's worth mentioning again. To zoom into a Safari page, put your thumb and forefinger on the screen and move them apart. To zoom out, pinch the fingers together after starting with them apart.
Safari: Examining the URL. To peek at a link's destination, touch and hold the link for a few seconds. You can also do this with images to see if they are linked. If a link appears and you don't want to activate it, just slide your finger away until the destination text disappears.
Safari: Well just point your iPhone browser to a Video on google video and choose download for iPod/PSP and you can watch it right there in safari. This also shows that you can also watch videos in the vertical position not just landscape.
-------------
Bookmarks: Create a separate folder / section for all your iPhone web sites. This makes is easy to locate them while browsing the we on your iPhone.
iPhoto / Photos: Create an Album (folder) called iPhone Wallpaper and load up your favorite 320x480 wallpapers. This makes it very easy to pick a new wallpaper on your iPhone.
Address Book: Create several subgroups, this can speed up the location of a contact given the lack of an actual search function. I use Work, Family, iPhone and it automatically puts the All Contacts group. Unfortunately I do not know how to do this on a PC. Hopefully someone can post.
Web Usage: If your favorite 'news' sites offer an RSS feed, bookmark and use that on your iPhone (not update your bookmarks because your iPhone will need to revise the link and use the .mac reader). This can make browsing, even while on EDGE much faster.
Force Quit: To actually close (or Quit) an application, HOLD the Home button for about 4-8 seconds while in the application. Apparently this will save battery usage and will also keep it cooler.

iPhone Fieldtest: uitleg van het onderdeel Cell Information
Zoals iedere GSM heeft ook de iPhone een Fieldtest; een diagnoseprogramma waarmee fabrikanten, providers en ontwikkelaars een kijkje “achter de schermen” kunnen nemen. Je kunt deze oproepen door in de Dialer *3001#12345#* in te toetsen gevolgd door “Call“. In deze tip leggen we uit waar de waarden in het onderdeel Cell Information voor staan.
Het onderdeel Cell Information van Fieldtest toont de details van het mobiele netwerk waarop de iPhone op dat moment is aangemeld is. De bovenste cel in het overzicht is de zendmast waar de iPhone op dat moment is aangemeld. De overige zes regels zijn de neighbours (buren). Als je je verplaatst van de ene fysieke plaats naar de andere wordt uit een van deze zes de beste roaming partner geselecteerd.
Van elke cel zijn de volgende details te zien:
“#“: MCC Landcode
204: Nederland
206: Belgïe
“Network“: MNC Netwerk ID
02: Tele2 Nederland
04: Vodafone Libertel
08: KPN Telecom
12: Telfort Nederland
16: T-Mobile
20: Orange
21: NS Railinfrabeheer
“Cell id“: Het Cell ID van de zendmast. Een zendmast kan meerdere cells hebben; bij twee (cellen) neemt iedere cel 180 graden voor zijn rekening. Veel netwerken maken gebruik van drie cellen per zendmast, waardoor elke cel 120 graden van de omgeving voor zijn rekening neemt. Providers verwerken vaak identificatiecodes in deze Cell ID waarmee ze de apparatuur kunnen traceren.
“Location“: Code welke gekoppeld is aan een database met geografische gegevens.
“Station“: Unieke code van de zendmast.
“Freq“: Frequentieblok dat wordt gebruikt.
1 t/m 124 - 900 Mhz band
128 t/m 251 - 850 Mhz band
512 t/m 885 - 1800 Mhz band
“Rx Level“: Ontvangen signaalsterkte. In de praktijk bevindt deze zich tussen de -50 dBm en -105 dBm. Hoe dichter de waarde bij de 0 ligt, hoe sterker het signaal is.
“C1” & “C2“: Op basis van deze twee waardes wordt door de iPhone bepaald of er roaming moet plaats vinden naar een andere cell.
Tip: Heb je geen zin om steeds opnieuw *3001#12345#* in te tikken in Phone.app, dan kun je ook een icoon voor Fieldtest.app op je Springboard plaatsen. Je vindt deze als FTi in Installer.app onder Tweaks. Let op! alleen voor 1.1.2 of lager.

En Bob wat heeft onze voormalige crimineel gewonnen?
Waar elk ander voor in de bak gaat zonder behoud van inkomsten!
93 duizend euro per jaar! En dat zes (6) jaar lang! = 558.000,00 Fl 1,2 miljoen gulden
Daarbij uiteraard een vergoeding voor de ziektekostenverzekering!
Dat spreek voor zich als je boven de wet leeft.
Maar dat geld voor alle kamerleden! Die een dergelijke kostenpost niet kunnen dragen…
Jan met de pet mag wel de volle premie betalen.
Report: Software fix in the works for iPhone 3G | One More Thing - CNET News.com
Apple is said to be planning a software fix for the iPhone 3G's reception problems.
(Credit: Apple)
The issues plaguing the iPhone 3G are indeed related to a chip inside the phone, according to a new report, but the solution could be easier than expected.
Business Week is reporting that, according to its sources, Infineon's chip inside the iPhone 3G is the root cause of the reception problems that numerous iPhone 3G owners have reported over the last month. Nomura Securities analyst Richard Windsor first suggested Infineon was to blame in a research note earlier this week.
The good news, however, is that apparently Apple believes it can fix the problems with a software upgrade, according to Business Week. A Swedish researcher who had discovered sensitivity issues in the iPhone 3G's chipset thought the problems would have to be solved through some sort of recall, but Apple and Infineon are said to be testing a software update that could be released perhaps as early as the end of this month.
aXbo Schlafphasenwecker
aXbo, the word's first sleep phase alarm clock, is designed to wake you individually at your optimal wake up time during a light sleep phase. aXbo offers the perfect start to your day:
* You wake up naturally, feeling wonderfully relaxed and calm.
* You are already fit, balanced and in the right mood for
an active day, full of energy.
Having a very good night's rest!
Everybody knows the feeling - you wake up in the morning like by your inner clock and you feel wonderfully relaxed and rested. Therefore we have invented the alarm clock of the future waking you up optimally at your best sleep phase - like waking up by your inner clock.
How does aXbo, the first sleep phase alarm clock of the world, work?
aXbo registers your individual optimal wake up time via your body movements and wakes you up in between the last 30 minutes before your wake up time.
Your movements are detected and gathered with a comfortable towelling wristband and submitted to the sleep phase alarm clock.
What else can aXbo do?
aXbo has a variety of additional functions, such as the possibility to wake two people independently of each other, analysis software for movement data, specially developed sounds to fall asleep and wake up to, your computer port and much
The unique wake-up-algorithm of aXbo chooses the optimal wake up time through differentiating the various sleeping phases by tracking the body movements .It thus determines the optimal wake up time. Your movements are detected and gathered with a comfortable towelling wristband and submitted to the sleep phase alarm clock.
How do I use aXbo? How does it work? You set your new aXbo as usual to your wake up time e.g. 7.00 a.m. The best wake up window is 30 minutes; e.g. you might be woken up at 6.47 a.m.-your optimal wake up time. Thus aXbo even gives you a little extra time.
Can I oversleep with aXbo? In the event of the above-named example aXbo will wake you up reliably at 7.00a.m.at the latest.

T - mobiel NL.
T-Mobile's Netherlands division is blaming the iPhone 3G's reception issues on Apple.
In a company blog posting Tuesday morning spotted by a forum contributor at MacRumors, T-Mobile Netherlands threw the iPhone 3G under the bus, blaming Apple for the problems its customers have been experiencing connecting to 3G networks in that country. Complaints have been cropping up in the U.S. as well about the iPhone 3G's performance on AT&T's network.
"The 3G coverage of T-Mobile is as good as the competition, there can therefore not lie. We suspect that it is a hardware / software specific issue of the iPhone itself," T-Mobile Netherlands said, according to a Google Translation of the post. A former colleague fluent in Dutch translated the second part of the first sentence as saying "so that should not be the issue."
The Google translation of another part of the blog is hilarious, and I'll just post it for amusement: "We therefore recommend to the software updates from Apple in the eye. This you get through iTunes." As you might have guessed, Apple is not delivering software updates through the eyes of iPhone 3G users: my former colleague translated that first sentence as "We advise customers to keep an eye on Apple's software updates."
This is obviously a bit self-serving of an argument for T-Mobile, and they don't exactly back it up. But their willingness to acknowledge the issues in a public forum--as well as blame Apple for the problems--sets them apart from the rest of the wireless industry currently offering the iPhone 3G. Again, it's unclear just how widespread the iPhone 3G reception problems are, but they are being reported all over the globe, and I've never received as much e-mail from Apple customers about a single product issue (even before asking for submissions) as I have over this one.
An Apple representative did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment, but I'll update if I hear from the company.
Analyst: Infineon chipset possible cause of iPhone 3G issues | One More Thing - CNET News.com
A financial analyst believes Apple's iPhone 3G reception issues may be the result of some faulty chips.
Richard Windsor of Nomura published a research note (spotted at GigaOm) Tuesday singling out the iPhone 3G's chipset, made by Infineon, as the probable culprit for the reception problems we reported on Monday. The dropped calls, service interruptions, and abrupt network switches experienced by iPhone 3G users reminded Windsor of similar complaints five years ago, when 3G phones were first launched in Europe.
"We believe that these issues are typical of an immature chipset and radio protocol stack where we are almost certain that Infineon is the 3G supplier," Windsor wrote. "This is not surprising as the Infineon 3G chipset solution has never really been tested in the hands of users. Some people will not experience these problems as it is only in areas where the radio signal weakens that the immaturity of the stack really shows."
The problem for Apple is that if Windsor's theory is correct, that would mean a firmware upgrade is unlikely to solve the problems, he wrote. The problems might be confined to a certain build of iPhones, or a certain batch of chips, but "this shows the risk of not going with a tried and tested solution."
An Infineon spokesman declined to comment on anything iPhone related, but said he would check into whether the particular chipset used in the iPhone 3G had been used in other phones. Apple has refused to acknowledge any issues with the iPhone 3G.
