There’s also a folder tip for you. If you hold down the icon for an app until it starts to wiggle, you can then move it atop one of your other icons and the phone will automatically create a folder with both apps in it. This can be a great way of cleaning up your seven home screens. These folders will be given a default name that is appropriate for both of the apps you start with. Bu you can pick a different name if you want to.

One camera trick is only available on iOS5: from the lock screen, double-tap the home button, then select the camera button just to the right of the lock slider. This will bring you right into the camera app even if your phone is normally locked. You’ll still have to unlock it before you can do anything else, but it can keep that perfect photo op from getting away.

I find the background image on this page makes it almost impossible to read! Please change it!

Tip: close any programm if you don’t want it take memory (as you know many programms after closure acctualy is still running in the background) or it just hang off and you don’t want to restart your phone:

1. Open programm you want to close
2. Press and hold switch on/off till shutdown screen appears.
3. Release switch on/off
4. Press and hold down Home button until it returns to the first page.

Thats all, progamm is closed, you can reopen it if it hang.

A quick double-click of the home button on my 3gs reveals the four most recently used apps across the bottom of screen. Sliding finger right gives ipod controls, sliding left reveals next four most recent apps, and the next, etc..

My iPhone screen is locked in the portrait position. Not sure how I did it so I don’t know how to undo it. Any suggestions?

@Madeline: Not AFAIK (apart, of course, from copying & pasting the symbol from an existing document, email or webpage).

Is there any way to make a not equal to symbol ≠ on the iPhone?
