How to Extend The Battery Life Of Your iPhone

Posted on April 10, 2012 by semda

Battery Life is an important aspect of an iOS device. With the launch of iOS 5, many users feel the battery performance of their iDevices has decreased significantly and there have also been claims that the battery life is below par than stated by Apple officially. However, the new Cydia tweak by Akhil Tolani may be a savior for those who use are fed up of their iDevices powering off when they want to use it the most. The tweak is called PowerSaver. Read on for more details.

This new tweaks allows users to carry out pre-defined actions when a particular percent level of the battery is triggered. The usual iOS system shows an on-screen alert when the battery goes down to 20% then 10%. Well, for me this isn’t something that users didn’t know already. What PowerSaver does is that allows certain power processes and system settings to switch off at a certain percentage thereby extending the functionality.

With PowerSaver, many actions are available, such as turning off Wi-Fi, rebooting or respringing the device, turning off the Bluetooth and much more. A great benefit is that it doesn’t require additional battery to function, so it is pretty useful.

The tweak also supports up to fourteen unique alarms. Users can tigger any of them when the battery reaches a certain level. E.g. you can ask the tweak to turn off the Bluetooth when the battery level reaches 20%. If you can get a hold off when to turn off the right functions and how to work out the key levels, there is a high probability that you’ll get a prolonged battery life.

How to Read Ebooks on the iPad with iBooks & Amazon Kindle for mac

Posted on March 31, 2012 by semda

As an avid reader of books, I’m finding the experience of reading e-books on the 9.7″ screen of the iPad worth at least half the price of the device, especially after having read about five e-books on the Kindle version for the iPhone.

Downloading Books

Both Amazon and Apple allow users to download sample copies of their e-books. My decisions to purchase or not purchase an e-book has many times been influenced by reading a sample copy first.

Reading E-Books

Simple reading of e-books in both applications is pretty much the same as well. In both apps you tap on the right and left side of the iPad screen to “turn” pages. Each app includes a little animated feature in which if you “turn a page” slowly it replicates the look of turning a real paper book. This feature is not turned on, I think, by default in the Amazon reader.

You can also change the font style and size of pages as you read, in both readers. Also very useful is the ability to dim the light of the backlit screen, which can be done in both apps. If you need to look up a word in the dictionary, each app has a tool for that.

Page Locations

The most frustrating part of reading in both of these apps is getting lost when you turn too many pages. In iBooks you can move your finger across the bottom of each page to select a page number in a chapter. Also , the bottom-right side of each page tells you how many pages are left in each chapter.

The Kindle reader is similar, but not as practical. The page numbering in the Kindle does not come close to the actual page numbering in the paper version of a book. The numbering can go into the thousands, when the paper version is actually say 296. And it only gives you the percentage of pages read in an e-book.

Making Annotations

If you’re needing to make annotations in the books you read, both apps offer some basic tools in this area. They including highlighting, bookmarking, and in the case of the Kindle, note taking.

With each of these tools you press down on the word where you want to start highlighting and drag your finger across to where you want to end the highlight. In the Kindle app you tap on the upper corner of a page to bookmark it, whereas with iBooks you must use the highlighter tool as a bookmarker. Ironically, the tool is called Bookmark, but what you’re really doing is highlighting.

Customers can view descriptions of characters, a glossary of common terms used in the book, information on the authors and common locations referenced in the book, and more.

With Reading View on Silk, the content that you’re interested in is elevated above the clutter. When invoked by the customer, Silk will load the body of the page in a reading-optimized, single screen view (even for multi-page articles). The full page is still available in the background, allowing the reader to easily toggle back to a traditional view to see other interesting features on the page.

The first three things you should do when you get an iphone

Posted on February 24, 2012 by semda

There is no wonder that the iPhone is a big hit: with its roomy touch screen, ability to play movies, music, programs from the App Store, full-featured web experience, and great looks, it’s a terrific device. But with prices starting at around US$200, it’s not exactly cheap.

When you get a new iPhone–especially if it’s your first iPhone–there are literally hundreds (maybe even thousands) of things to learn how to do. But you need to start somewhere, and that somewhere ought to be the basics. Read on for suggestions and instructions on the first 9 things you should do when you get a new iPhone (and a 10th if the iPhone isn’t for you, but is for your child). Though these tips only scratch the surface of what you can do with an iPhone, they’ll start you on your path to becoming an iPhone pro.

1. Install iTunes

When it comes to the iPhone, iTunes is much more than just the program that stores and plays your music. It’s also the tool that lets you add and remove music, video, photos, apps, and more from your iPhone to computer. It’s also where a number of settings related to what goes on your iPhone live. Needless to say, it’s pretty crucial to using your iPhone.

If your computer didn’t come with iTunes pre-installed, you can get it as a free download from Apple.

2. Create iTunes Account

If you want to use the iTunes Store or the App Store–and you must, right? Why would you get an iPhone if you didn’t want to take advantage of its hundreds of thousands of amazing apps?–you need an iTunes account. These free accounts not only let you buy music, movies, apps, and more at iTunes, they’re also used as part of iCloud, Find My iPhone, FaceTime, and many other awesome technologies on the iPhone.

3. Set Up Find My iPhone

This is crucial. Find My iPhone is a feature of iCloud that lets you use the iPhone’s built-in GPS to pinpoint its location on a map. You’re going to be glad you have this if your iPhone ever goes lost or gets stolen. In that case, you’ll be able to locate it down to the part of the street it’s on, which can be important information to give to the police if you’re trying to recover a stolen phone. But in order to use Find My iPhone when your phone goes missing, you first have to set it up. Do that now and you won’t be sorry later.

Is it possible to synchronize the device with two different system. It would be a great help if you can help me out in getting the issue to be sorted. Thank you.

A: If you have an Apple Mobile Device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) it’s actually possible to sync it with multiple computers. You just have to understand the rules. Apple groups things into four categories:

Data – the data or info category consists primarily of things like your contacts, calendar, bookmarks, notes, email accounts, etc. This information can either be sync’d via iTunes or wirelessly via MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange (although Notes currently can only be sync’d via iTunes).

Media – the media category consists of your music, movies, music videos, TV shows, podcasts, audiobooks, ringtones, iTunesU and now iBooks. This content can either be sync’d or managed manually.

Photos – well this category is pretty self explanatory. It’s your photo library and all of your photo albums. Your photos can either be in iPhoto or simply in a folders and subfolders. (Related tips: How to transfer photo from ipod to computer)
