I purchased my iPhone in early 2008. As a beginner of the cellular phone, I knew nothing about how to make use of the range of software available on iPhone. I purchased the cell phone because like many women, I was appealed to the amazing exterior appearance of the cell phone. For a long time, I did not realize how great the cellular phone can be and used the mobile phone just for text messing and making phone calls while occasionally taking some pictures with the high quality digital camera. I spread the word about the camera of the cell phone to every person I know as I found pictures taken by the cellular phone are amazingly great! Until one day, I learnt from another iPhone fan that there is much more to do with my iPhone and I began to work on every possible method to get benefits from the mobile phone. The following come some necessary tips for iPhone beginners.

Screen destop capture: Click the home button and top side button at the same time and at a fast speed, and you will hear a camera shutter sound. Then visit your photo album, you will find the image there.

Direct access to iPod player: When your iPhone is locked, double click the menu button rapidly and the iPod player will appear at the top part of the screen. You can choose to play or stop the player. And you can also select to play the previous song or the next song by clicking the button marked with a double-arrow on the two sides of the ‘on’ and ‘off’ button.

Shortcut access to favourites/home/iPod: First, opt for the area you wish can be accessed with a shortcut key. Enter into ‘Settings’, then click ‘General’ and click ‘Home Button’, there you will find three options for the shortcut key: home, favourites and iPod. Select any of them, and when your iPhone is unlocked, you can enter into the section you have defined with a quick double-click. For instance, I opt for ‘Favourites’ as my home button and when I decide to call those who I call frequently, I just need to press twice the main button. This direct access function is really useful for our cell phones!

Airplane mode: After you enter into ‘Settings’, you will see the ‘Airplane Mode’ option. If you don’t expect to get messages or phone calls, whether when at your bedtime or at your meeting time or on any else occasion, make the ‘Airplane Mode’ in the ‘on’ state, and you mobile phone won’t be connected with any communication signal. Then your mobile phone becomes a simple device only for entertainment purposes like MP3 player, games, etc. And a great advantage is: when you travel on the plane, you don’t have to turn off your cellular phone for security purpose. By simply activating the ‘Airplane Mode’, you can continue to enjoy music, games or other applications with you iPHone as you want.

Wireless network capacity: It is simple. Just turn on the Wi-Fi function in ‘Settings’, and wherever you go, the recognized networks will be connected automatically. If no known networks are spotted by the handset but wireless network is available in the place, you will be asked to connect with the network. Sometimes you may have to ask the owner of the place for the password to join the wireless network. Do as it is demanded. Then you can have fun with Internet surfing without a laptop.
