By Louis I. Forney


The many iPhone tips and tricks that are available online and elsewhere are intended to enable you access features and applications within your iPhone 4 quickly than before. Some iPhone tips and tricks are general and they can also work for other iOS devices such as the iPod Touch, iPad or iMac. Some other tips and tricks may only be available for the iPhone 4 and they may not available in these other devices. Some of these tips and tricks include the following

To reveal the hidden characters you need to press and hold some keys on the device keyboard. The keys that you can be held and expanded include letters N, C, Z, L, S, A, O, I, U, Y and E while symbols include percent (%), apostrophe ('), exclamation point (!), Question mark (?), period (.), Quotes (""), ampersand (&), dash (-) and Dollar sign ($).

For the quick caps and symbols, the usual way is tapping ?123 in order to access the keyboard for symbols or tapping the shift key quickly in order to capitalize a letter. Instead, you can do it faster by the holding your finger on any of the keys 1, 2 or 3 and then dragging that key that you need to type. For example, to quickly type 3 from your devices main keyboard, just hold the?123 key and then slide till you reach 3 then release it. This will take you back to the QWERTY main keyboard.

Instead of the usual way of restarting iPhone by holding sleep button until the option of restarting the iPhone pos up, if your phone is frozen you can do it faster by simultaneously holding the home and sleep buttons until the device turns off.

If you need to take quick screen shot you can do it by holding the home button and then hitting the sleep button. Immediately after doing this you must see camera flash. You can view the image at the photos folder. You can also import screenshots from your iPhone to iMac via iPhoto.

The above iPhone tips and tricks can be tried in almost all the IOS devices. There are some new tricks that are exclusive for the devices that operate on the iOS 4. These tricks include spell check, locking of screen orientation, closing of background apps and searching the website and Wikipedia.

For spell check on the iOS 4 you just need to simply hold the word that is underlined. Tap the replace button and you will see English dictionary spelling suggestions.
