TIPS AND TRICKS - for those of us who don't know!

[MrLuke]

Instead of pushing the home button twice which I assume will lead to a mechanical failure, you can just stroke the screen with four fingers together...same effect!Push up tp reveal and then Dow n to return

You can also swipe left and right to flick through apps.

A trick I found:
If you hold your finger on the 'add a tab' button UN safari it brings up your most recently closed tabs.

thanks for the tip about safari, will definitely be using that one

If you go to settings-keyboard-shortcuts you can create a shortcut for often used phrases and more. I created a shortcut to take the place of a standard clause I use in preparing contracts so now three letters takes the place of a couple of minutes of typing. I have also used it to create shortcuts for the trademark and copywrite symbols. This was one of the few features that I missed when I migrated from blackberry to the iPhone!

Haha i used the phrase "lol" to automatically change to "by the way, im a lesbian" on my girlfriends phone

Triple tap the home button turns everything black/negative.

Only if you have it enabled

Settings-General-Accessibility-scroll right to bottom

Reading the general threads reminds me that we should occasionally check out ALL settings. It's easy to forget that you have a little used setting on and an accidental touch will activate it. And the sound or screen lock settings often get confused.

Hi guys,I tried pressing the home key twice,then I took a video and there is still no voice recorded but there is a noise sound in
The background.
But I can hear my music and music video that I down loaded from my iPad.
