Hello
friends lot of friends are searching for their lovely iPhone tricks and
tips.. so The following article is a mixture of a few things – mainly
tips, tricks and some guides for those of you who just bought an
iPhone 4.
If you are skeptical about the reception and other potential problems
the iPhone 4 might have – don’t worry –
you are not alone. We are also
going to share some hands-on experience regarding few potential
iPhone 4
problems, so read on.
Please do take note that we are not going to discuss what’s new in
iOS4 (operating system) as it has been pretty much covered elsewhere.
This article is basically- what you can expect with the new iPhone 4.
1. Update all your applications
First things first, check for application updates. If you have lot of
applications installed in your previous iPhone 3G or 3GS, chances are they will need to be updated again
so that they can take advantages of the new iOS4 features and iPhone 4
capabilities. So before you start trying out your existing applications
on iPhone 4, take a moment to check if they need to be updated.
2. Where’s Facetime?
This is probably one of the first thing you’d like to explore on new iPhone 4, but where’s the Facetime app?
Facetime is actually not an application, in fact, it’s an option
available (for now) only when you make a call via WiFi to another iPhone
4 user.
Facetime is turn off by default. To turn it on, go to
Settings →
Phone and turn Facetime on. Carrier activation might be required.
Learn more about Facetime.
3. You’ll need a new wallpaper
With retina display, everything on iPhone 4 looks amazingly vibrant and high quality. The screen supports up to 960×640 pixels at 326ppi,
approximately 4 times higher than the resolution in a iPhone 3Gs. In
another words, it makes your current wallpaper looks weak and you’ll
need to look for a higher resolution wallpapers :-)
4. Try iMovie for iPhone 4
iMovie
for iPhone4 is a light version of iMovie for Mac and it’s awesome. It
allows
you to edit and share your recorded videos on the fly. And did we
mention all videos recording with iPhone 4 are in high definition (HD)?
iMovie for iPhone 4 cost $4.99.
5. Tap to Focus Object – Video
Even the smartest gadget can use a some human touch. While video
recording, you can tap on different objects on the screen to have iPhone
focus on them.
6. View widescreen while Recording
If you swap from camera mode to video mode, you’ll notice that the
objects are actually getting closer. That is because video recording is
done in wide screen mode. To display in wide screen while recording –
double tab the screen.
7. Search Web, Wikipedia on the fly
By swiping right on the home screen, you’ll activate Spotlight. Type
in something and scroll all the way to the bottom and you’ll noticed two
additional search options have been added, respectively the "Search web" and "Search wikipedia". Both search uses Safari browser.
8. Mirror, Self-Shot
iPhone 4 comes with an additional front camera. By clicking on the
camera icon on the top right, the front camera is activated instead of
the back. We thought this could be useful for those who want to use
their iPhone as a mirror, or perhaps, it makes taking self-shots easier
too!
9. The iPhone 4 reception problem
This is the question most people are most concerned about. To be
fair, yes signal bars do dropped when gripped – they call it the
Death Grip.
However, signal drop only happens in areas where receptions are weak,
so it very much depends a lot on your service provider. The problem is
mild, don’t get too worried about it.
10. Yellow Splotches on the screen
Some users are reporting that they have been noticing yellow patches on the iPhone 4 screen. According to
macintouch,
this is just a small temporarily problem as these yellow splotches are
nothing but some
bonding agents for the glass that will evaporate as the
device is exposed to the air. You can relax now.
