Any tips on extending battery life? I have allowed it to rundown and that does not seem to help, it only lasts all day if I don't hardly use the phone. I find myself charging it constantly. I this just a curse of using a smartphone?

Folders within folders. It can be done!!!

I have a JBed 3GS running iOS4. As I have about 250 games I like to keep on the phone, using iOS4's built in folder system would be a PITA as it only allows 12 apps per folder. I also have about 20 or so apps that I would consider "utilities".

So with the issue of having more apps than iOS4's folder app allows, I tried the following:

I installed "Categories" from the Cydia repository. I then decided on which games are my frequently played games and which I want to keep with me, but they're not the ones I play often.

I made a "Games" folder (using iOS4) and dragged in 11 of my favorite games. Then, using Categories, I made another "Games" folder with the remainder of my games (It does not matter what you name the folders, it will work anyway). After that, I just dragged the Games folder from Categories into the Games folder from iOS4.

Now, when I touch the iOS created Games folder, I have the 11 most frequently played games instantly pop up, and if there's one I don't see, I just touch the other folder that's sitting within, and after a few seconds the 240 or so apps will open up.

The only issue I ran into is that sometimes when doing maintenance on the folders, all of a sudden it will appear as if all of the Categories/Games app will appear to have come out of the folder and they fill the springboard (and overflow beyond the 11 screens of sprinboard). This is kind of just an illusion as a simple springboard refresh will put them all back into the folder where they belong. The first time I experienced this, I ended up deleting folders and remaking them all. Then i found that it is just a minor glitch that is rectified by refreshing the springboard. I use SBSH to do the refresh, but I assume that any refresh'ing app will work.

Hello,

This is my first time in this type of forum, but I wanted to ask if anyone knew how to tether an iphone (currently being used on the tmobile network) to my laptop?

if youre using the ipod feature when on the slide to unlock screen hit home button twice to get playing and volume controls

when writting an email, text or anything tap and hold to get the magnifying glass and move around the text with ease.

when i text and i want to resend a message tap on the text>select all>copy then go to the writing area tap>paste

also same way you delete an icon you can move around to where you find them more convenient

If you're looking up a phone number for something in Safari—say a restaurant or a hotel—there's no need to leave the page when you find it. Simply tap the number right on the page; the iPhone will dial it automatically

If you are looking to move from a different cell phone to the Apple iPhone, you can use the DataPilot to perform the data transfer for your Phonebook so you don't lose any of your contacts.
