extend battery on iPhone

iPhone uses Lithium-ion battery, with best performance if you charge it with a "fully-cycle" charge about every month. The good suggestion is to charge daily your mobile phone  - but don't wait to fully drain your battery, just plug it to 30 - 45 minutes and it will provide enough power for the next day. 

Once a month drain out fully, then do full cycle. 

I am aware that in this scenario iCloud would automatically backup your data only once per month, but you can always start backup manually!

You should be aware that many free iPhone apps are using banners, that updates frequently and draining battery.Maybe the only real good reason why to buy iPhone applications (banner free).

Turning off Apps that runs in background will reduce process power and save battery consumption!

There are on the App store some nice apps that can help you in maintaining battery and extending it performance as much as possible. 

BatteryDoctor is free app , with some additional tips , check it out !

Hard reset of iPhone

I used iPhone 4s for about 2 days (brand new one bought by carrier). My battery was around 75 % full. 
After using Siri, I locked the phone and continue driving. After a while I noticed that iPhone is really hot and is not responding to any request. I hope that you'll not be in this kind of situation and that you wan't be needing this tip, but you never know...

- press the sleep button (and without releasing it!!) press and hold home button around 20 seconds. After the apple logo appears, you can release buttons. 
For around 1-2 minutes the iPhone will be fully operational. 


I wish I knew this trick when I had problem, it would save me lot of time and nerves. 
If you need to close some applications that are running in background, or If you want to speed up iOS, try RAM Doctor that I already reviewed.

Print screen iPhone

So you want to take a print screen from your iPhone?
It is a combination buttons:

Press home screen for 1-2 seconds (before Siri responds) and without releasing it press soft button. Screen will flash and print screen is saved to your Photos! 


This is very nice trick and it works whatever you're doing  - playing games, working with apps. While practice , the only thing that can go wrong it that you will switch to your home screen or call Siri. 
But with little practice, you will be able to make print screens without interfering normal work of application. 
My Technorati profile

I was really happy when I found that no additional app is needed for this trick!

Organize Home screen on iPhone

Great feature comes with Iphone4 and IOS4 and higher version!

You can organize your homescreen with use of folders.

First, it is good to known that in IPhone's folder you can put up to 12 applications. It make sense, because you don't have to scroll through folder after selecting one.

How to put applications in folders? Very simple!

Just press icon and hold it until it starts shaking. Then release and press it again. 

Move shaking icon to another icon and let it go! IOS will propose the name of the category, and if you don't like it, put your own description!

When you press folder on home screen, applications from folder pops up!

This will significantly reduce the number of your home screens and you'll be able to find and use your apps really fast!

Connect PC to internet through iPhone

You can share connection by USB, bluetooth or by wireless connection. Wireless is great feature, as probably you aren't carrying USB cabel in you pocket :)

To be able to turn on your "Personal Hotspot" , you need to have data plan activated by local provider. Data plan means that you are able to surf the web from your Iphone.

Go to General settings : and pick the "Network" option: then you choose "Set up Personal Hotspot:"

If you don't see option "Set Up Personal Hotspot" under "Network", restart your Iphone4(s) . In my case, I had to restart device twice for option to become visible.  

Turn on Personal Hotspot and set Wi-Fi Password. Refresh wireless connections on your PC and connect!
