by Stan Hvid

If you are among those who recently bought an iPhone, perhaps you are perplexed by all of its options. Do not allow yourself to be intimidated by this new gadget. Just read this article so you can unlock the magic in your new iPhone.<br /><br />For faster navigating, and avoiding typing in "www." and ".com", start by setting your default search engine to Google. Google finds the type of page that you are looking for with just a few characters.<br /><br />Use the word shortcut option of your iPhone to be more efficient when typing. Visit "settings", find "general", hit "keyboard", then add a new shortcut. By using acronyms or abbreviations, you can create shortcuts for more common words or phrases you type often. As you use these shortcuts, the correct words or phrases will be typed.<br /><br />Disable or turn off any of the wireless radio functions that you do not use. While not in use, they can reduce your battery power if they are still active. These radio functions include Bluetooth and GPS devices. When not in use, you should keep them off.<br /><br />Use your iPhone to help you navigate from place to place. The GPS feature is a great way to help you find places you are looking for such as restaurants, movie theaters and gas stations. Bookmarking the map allows it to be easily accessed.<br /><br />A lot of iPhone users are unaware that the alert tone feature on their phone is really easy to change. You can eliminate this problem by customizing your tones. In the settings area, go to the sounds option. Select an alert. Next, choose Buy More Tones.<br /><br />If you don't plan on watching a video you've viewed on your phone again, be careful not to save it. After you view a video, you'll be asked if you'd like to remove it. This selection will allow you to save on space.<br /><br />If you experience a screen freeze on your iPhone, do not be overly alarmed. You can, as a first solution, try the sleep/wake button. But if that doesn't work, try holding the sleep and home button simultaneously. This will start a hard reset and it should reboot in a few moments.<br /><br />Visit Facebook from your iPhone. Many people already know this, but there are some who are unaware of the phone's ability to use Facebook.<br /><br />Are there umlauted or accented letters you wish to include in your messages? Just follow these simple steps. Press the letter you want to change to bring up the options. A box with extra keys will come up. You can use as many fancy letters as you want to.<br /><br />The iPhone allows you to set your own personalized ringtones. The default ringtones are unoriginal and you will probably think your iPhone is ringing when someone else has the same ringtone. You could use your favorite song or another sound you find enjoyable. This is sure to get your's and other's attention.<br /><br />The iPhone's popularity is testimony of its greatness. It contains many features and customization options that gives you many possibilities. This can mean taking some time to truly get to know it. It is probable that you will never make use of every possible feature; however, this article should have brought you closer.
