Search Web, Wikipedia on the iPhone

March 24, 2011 Leave a comment

By swiping right on the home screen or by clicking the home button once (while you are on the home screen), iOS activates Spotlight search. When you type in something and scroll to the bottom you will notice two additional search options have been added – “Search web” and “Search Wikipedia”. When you click on either one, your search results are displayed in Safari.

Make Safari remember your username and password on your iPhone

February 10, 2010 Leave a comment

Tired of typing your user credentials on your iPhone Safari browser? You can configure safari browser on your iPhone to remember the “Usernames” and “Passwords” simply by enabling the “Names & Passwords” option.

To enable this option go to Setting -> Safari -> AutoFill -> Names & Passwords

On enabling this, whenever you type in new login credentials on a site, Safari browser would ask your permission to save the login credentials so that you can readily login the next time you want to browse the same site.

Access iPod controls from anywhere on the iPhone/iPod Touch

February 2, 2010 Leave a comment

Do you want to quickly access the iPod controls on your iPhone or iPod Touch to pause the song/podcast? Its easy.

Just double click the Home button and a window pops up allowing you to Pause, skip tracks, and adjust volume.

This works only when a track is playing. If this still doesn’t work for you make sure you’ve selected ‘iPod’ by going to Settings > General > Home Button.

Reset/Reboot your iPhone

February 2, 2010 1 comment

If your iPhone is totally unresponsive and force quitting an app did not help, try this.

Force a reset of your iPhone by pressing both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds. Your iPhone would take a while to boot up. However, your data and settings should remain intact.

If  the app you’ve run has become unresponsive or has completely frozen, you can force quit the app by pressing the Home button for atleast 7 seconds. this should force exit the app.

This didn’t help? If your iPhone is still unresponsive try resetting.
