I've created the iPhone Tips and Secrets guide because Im always being asked"how did you do that" while using my iPhone by fellow iPhone users.

This guide is part 1 of 3 on some of the best tips I thought I'd share it with my valued

readers

Apologies if it is a bit rough on the edges, but its definitely a bit of a work in

progress nonetheless I hope you find it useful.

This Internet version deals mostly with enhancing your experience with:

using the iPhone for web surfing,

adjusting some annoying default settings

protecting your iPhone from being lost or stolen

some solutions to common problems.

Ill also cover some opportunities that have arisen with the iPhone and those include

developing iPhone apps, getting them developed by others, or profiting from Mobile

Phone advertising.

I would bet that most people would disable the sound that their computer's keyboard

makes if they could (sadly only earplugs will work on your home computer)On the iPhone however it's easy to disable the Keyboard Clicking Sound

Navigate to "General">"Sounds" and turn off "Keyboard Clicks"

If you have to type acronyms or unusual names often, make sure you close down

the suggested correction the Autocorrect feature suggests. Do this a few times andthe Phone would have learnt a new word that you can type without being corrected.

If you are multi-lingual and type in a different language frequently you could change

keyboard under "Settings" >"General">"Keyboard">"International Keyboards" andadd a supported keyboard.

If however you need to type in say "Afrikaans" the iPhone as yet don't support that

dictionary, so with auto correct turned on your words get corrected all the time and

gets annoying.

To completely disable AutoCorrection navigate to "Settings">"General">"Keyboard"and switch "Auto-Correction" to OFF

PS: My South African friends have thanked me for this tip.

Unlike any other mobile phone before the iPhone was launched with the ability to

take a screenshot of whatever is on your screen.

Why is this awesome?

Because this enables you to:

Take a screenshot of a Video Call

Take a screenshot of a Game HighScore to show your friends

Take a screenshot of a website you visited

The iPhone 4 came with an improved antenna which was great, except that they

gave every tester a free iPhone case.

This prevented Apple from realising a design flaw which meant you would actually

short circuit two antenna's in the phone if gripped tightly without a case for a period

of about 20 seconds.

Apple's remedy to this was to provide an iPhone 4 case for free.

Apple also created an iPhone Case App, which allows you to select which case you

want, login with your iTunes account on the phone, and get it ordered right there andthen.

This might not be around for long however as there are rumours that Apple will stop

the free case program end of Sept 2010.

You can also get some great iPhone Cases. Some of which I've reviewed on

Before locking your iPhone (pressing the top lock button) make sure that you press

If you are selling your iPhone or giving it as a gift you can securely remove all

data from the Phone quite easily.I would suggest that you first sync with iTunes, and make sure you have copied your

Photo's from the iPhone.

You can let your iPhone Calendar App Remind you of the Birthdays of all your

contacts saved on your iPhone.

For this to work you obviously need to have your contact's Birthday saved in their

Contact's information. If you follow the Tip on Syncing contact information with

Facebook this will be a no-brainer.

Now open Calendar and tap the "Calendars" button. Under "Other" you will find a

Birthday Calendar which you can check or uncheck to enable or disable.

There are many apps that allow you to stay in touch with your social network but I m

sure many of you have seen people typing on their iPhones while walking and nearlyhitting poles.

One of my favourite apps for connecting with my social groups online (while walking)

is at Once Not only does it provide you the ability to update Twitter, Facebook,

LinkedIn as well as other status which can be updated via email, it also turns on the

Camera and allows you to see where you are going (or continue to focus on aspeaker in a training event)

1) Send an iPhone App as a Gift

Open "App Sore" app and search for your an App that would suit as a great gift, then

scroll down to the bottom. You will find a "Gift this App" Button which allows you to

send the App as a gift to someone.

2) Authorize their computer to be able to run all the apps you've purchasedIf it's your partner or a good friend that you see and you can visit them, log onto their

computer and login to iTunes using YOUR iTunes account.

To do this open iTunes,

Authorise their computer to be able to run ALL the Apps that YOU have purchased.

Please note this will only work 4 times as you are only able to authorise 5computers.

Not very often but for some strange reason it could happen that an iPhone appdoesn't start up anymore.

The solution I've found works best is to uninstall the app, install another free app,

then re-install the removed app.Geeky Developers note: It seems the package manager doesn't always release

the lock on a lock file which causes this issue.
