When iOS 5 was released a few weeks ago, iPhone users quickly complained about the damage it did to battery life. iPhone 4S owners seemed to be the most vocal, so many believed that it had something to do with the new hardware. Never mind the fact that Apple explicitly mentioned that the iPhone 4S has shorter standby time than the iPhone 4, but it did seem like battery life was truly fickle. On most days, my battery life was OK, but on others it was just awful. Apple acknowledged … Read more

See the video below if you want to get keyboard shortcuts set up on your iPhone. For those of you at work or in places where you can’t watch videos, here’s how you do it: Go into … Read more

How-To: Print multiple photos from your iPhone on a single page
You may want to print more than a single photo on one sheet of paper but your iPhone doesn’t support that capability out of box. Luckily… there’s a app for that.

But that’s not all, you can also scale, mask and rotate photos straight from the app. Then, once you’re done with editing – you can either print your work, save … Read more

How-To: Make PDFs on your iPhone
Need an easy way to make PDF files on your iPhone, iPod Touch and/or iPad? Try Print to PDF, a simple application that (like on your computer) adds “Print to PDF” as a printer when using the built-in printing feature.

In order to so, you’ll have to start Print to PDF and leave it to run in the background. Then simply start printing, select “Print … Read more

How-To: Alter the auto-lock time on the iPhone
You may don’t like the auto-lock feature of the iPhone. A single minute may not be enough for you. Guess what – you can change that timing, setting it up to 5 minutes or turn it off altogether.

Anyway, here’s how to change this setting: Open “Settings” Tap on “General” Tap “Auto-Lock” Here you’ll be able to set the time lapse between you not touching the … Read more

How-To: Stop the HDR camera mode storing two pictures on your iPhone 4
If your iPhone 4 runs iOS 4.1, you’ve probably already tried out HDR (High Dynamic Range) camera mode, which takes multiple (three) photos to combine them and get a higher-quality result. Heck, you may’ve used some third-party apps for the same purpose even before Apple included this capability in the iOS. The problem with the HDR mode is that it keeps saving two pictures in the Camera Roll, leaving it up to you to delete one of them later. What I’ve found out is that many users haven’t figured out … Read more

You’ve probably heard that AT&T has starting throttling data speeds for customers who tether their mobile Internet connection.
