- championchap, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1The screenshot was news to me untill somebody pointed it out in a review for the free kaliedescope in the store yesterday.
- louiebaur, on 08/06/2008, -4/+107Digg title says 11 tips, original article has 12?
- l33tforlif3, on 08/07/2008, -9/+2isnt it more like 14?
- dpowre, on 08/07/2008, -2/+13no its more like 12
- efitz11, on 08/07/2008, -2/+25but these go to eleven
- m00nmaster, on 08/07/2008, -9/+0Apparently numbers aren't an iPhone owner's specialty.
- bradleyland, on 08/07/2008, -1/+11Maybe the submitter assumes everyone knows at least one of them.
- B08ama, on 08/07/2008, -3/+10This is an outrage!
- MxM111, on 08/07/2008, -4/+2That's becasue david 2k1 believes that everyone on DIGG knows at least one iPhone trick.
- HypocriteDigg, on 08/07/2008, -2/+2It's a CONSPIRACY!
- diggmaddy, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1But it goes till 11!
- AllanJ23, on 08/08/2008, -0/+0its because number 12 is a link, so u cant see it on that page
plus the link is not workin for me - dudeguy1234, on 08/08/2008, -2/+2You know the numerical value of 12-11? I'm not exactly sure, but someone told me it was roughly OVER NINE THOUSANDDDDD!
- rohan182, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1its eleven if u wanna start counting from 0 like most programming of arrays...
just a thought...
- l33tforlif3, on 08/07/2008, -9/+2isnt it more like 14?
- beerock, on 08/06/2008, -53/+5Whether you're an iPhone douchebag or a *****-gobbling pro, take a look at these mindless iPhone calamities which not only ***** you over, but ease your overall iPhone customer-gouging experience.
- sleepwalkers, on 08/07/2008, -4/+17Nobody cares that you don't like the iPhone.
- Aaronontheweb, on 08/07/2008, -8/+2I care. ***** you.
- SleepyMcShuteye, on 08/07/2008, -4/+2***** you! Two of my friends died because they cared that this guy doesn't like the iphone.
- SteeleJK, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1I also care, ass.
- 1longtime, on 08/07/2008, -2/+15Do you even know why you hate the iPhone?
Technology bashing lemming.- dshPls, on 08/07/2008, -2/+1He's an anti-conformist, don't ya know!
- Neoanarchist, on 08/07/2008, -1/+13Lmfao. Man this is the second post I'VE seen of beerock's panties being in a twist over not having an iPhone. He apparently wants one really badly.
- beerock, on 08/08/2008, -1/+2NO... I really don't, and I really do think they're pieces of *****.
I'm satisfied w/ copy&pasting on my piece of garbage HTC touch - Neoanarchist, on 08/09/2008, -0/+1Hahaha. I think we have a closet Apple Fanboy ;)
- beerock, on 08/08/2008, -1/+2NO... I really don't, and I really do think they're pieces of *****.
- Darph.Bobo, on 08/07/2008, -2/+1I assume you're the latter.
- sanderson325i, on 08/07/2008, -1/+2hes probably in his mothers basement and has no job to even pay for an iphone, thus, he wants what he cannot have
- beerock, on 08/08/2008, -1/+2No, I own a HTC touch, douchebags.
Copy and paste that, fagdreams!
I'm totally anti-Apple.
Their ***** propaganda turnstile has turned the average hipster douchebag into someone who thinks they need an iPhone.
It's irresponsible to make a phone that is based on your total ***** marketing scheme designed to ensure you're buying an Apple product every 4 months.
- sleepwalkers, on 08/07/2008, -4/+17Nobody cares that you don't like the iPhone.
- gskill, on 08/06/2008, -27/+26I don't have an iPhone but it's good to know about these tricks.
- freezerburn666, on 08/07/2008, -4/+27hmmm why?
- jorichter, on 08/07/2008, -1/+8You confuse me.
- ErikHK, on 08/07/2008, -7/+4such a lame comment :(
- Hayes, on 08/07/2008, -17/+2How can you possibly justify that logic? God you are a sackriding *****.
- debuggercll, on 08/07/2008, -6/+8Because all girls know is how to do is spend a man's money and use his iPhone.
- deenoop, on 08/07/2008, -1/+2good one. dugg for accuracy.
- aronmc94, on 08/08/2008, -0/+0Erm.. maybe shes getting one soon?
Like I am. Although I don't have an iPhone at this present moment in time, I hope to be getting one soon and I will definitely be bookmarking these tips.
Plus, most of them are ones that will stick in my head for when I do get an iPhone.
So.. blegh. I see her logic. Good comment.
- joeycerone, on 08/07/2008, -19/+10any half way retarded iphone user figured out all of these "tricks" the first day...
- mlbwebdesign, on 08/07/2008, -4/+5Aww, look....he called himself retarded and he didn't notice it. BTW, You should have included the word 'could' in there somewhere.
- vptel, on 08/07/2008, -2/+3any half way retarded iphone user figured out all "could" of these "tricks" the first day...
i don't get it
- vptel, on 08/07/2008, -2/+3any half way retarded iphone user figured out all "could" of these "tricks" the first day...
- STLMikey, on 08/07/2008, -2/+7Well it takes us "non-retarded" people a little longer, seeing as how we have more important things to do than figure out secret tap-patterns and button combos on our sweet new phones.
- mlbwebdesign, on 08/07/2008, -4/+5Aww, look....he called himself retarded and he didn't notice it. BTW, You should have included the word 'could' in there somewhere.
- timusca, on 08/07/2008, -3/+4Wow, I only knew of a few of these... I've only had my iPhone for a week or so, but I was wondering if it was possible to scroll to the top of a website and to save images from the web browser.
To save an image from an email, you simply tap on it... they should really make email the same way so there is some commonality.
Edit: Never mind, it seems you can do it both ways in an email. And I assume the reason you can't just tap in a browser is due to image links.- billbugger, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I've had one for awhile, and never knew about the saving images from the browser. That is a great feature, now if only they would add copy/paste!
And if digg would drop a damn cookie so i don't have to see the damn captcha. - ryan926, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2I remember looking through my pictures and saw my screen. I was trying to find out how I did it. Now I know that I must've done it when I was trying to soft restart my phone.
- surferjoemaui, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1me too.
- supermanred, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Just hold your finger on any picture on a web site and it will ask if you want to save it or email it etc.
- pantone286, on 08/08/2008, -1/+2by far my favorite trick is copy and paste.
- billbugger, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I've had one for awhile, and never knew about the saving images from the browser. That is a great feature, now if only they would add copy/paste!
- DiggMyMonkey, on 08/07/2008, -1/+18Wow I never knew you could save an image...this makes changing my wallpaper so much easier...I used to have to sync with iTunes to transfer pics...good to know!
- kevlar21, on 08/08/2008, -0/+0This feature came with firmware 2.0 I believe.
- funsutton, on 08/07/2008, -37/+1VOTE MCCAIN! FTW!
- TwiztOG43, on 08/07/2008, -4/+1He's too old!

- TwiztOG43, on 08/07/2008, -4/+1He's too old!
- phibit, on 08/07/2008, -26/+1I have a trick that works with most brands of cell phone (Nokia, Motorola, Samsung etc..)
It's called "not shelling out a bunch of money for a 'smartphone' that can't copy-paste".
My cousin's fisher price play-pc has basic copy-paste functionality (and no, it doesn't run Crysis).- MadKennyP, on 08/07/2008, -2/+4Just go away.
- Hockey37, on 08/07/2008, -3/+1***** Crysis, can it play Doom?
- breckinshire, on 08/07/2008, -3/+1But does it run Linux?
- phibit, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1lol @ all the babies who spent money on their iPhone that can't copy-paste. Although I'm sure realizing you made a bad purchase must be harsh, burying me won't make the pain go away. Maybe jerking off to photos of Steve Jobs some more might make you feel better? Of course it will, it always does.
- chazuk, on 08/07/2008, -1/+29The 1st tip has me beaming with joy. I used to swipe the screen like ***** to get to the top of a webpage.
This has just made browsing on the iPhone a little more bearable for me. Dugg!- vashavoc, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4your reply made me lol as I do the same thing - the wife didnt find it as funny :
- klipseracer, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Like a moron.... Then again... I only knew because I pushed it on accident.
- leerayIG88, on 08/07/2008, -18/+4***** you, two of my friends died doing tricks.
- freezerburn666, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1turning tricks probably
- billbugger, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0dammit, beat me.
- mupaully, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Seriously, old meme.
- abandonedhero, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1It's gotten old, yes. But it's only been around for a month.
- freezerburn666, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1turning tricks probably
- gforce051, on 08/07/2008, -20/+4MY ***** DOG KEEPS RUBBING ITS HEAD ON MY LEG WTF
- mv1008, on 08/07/2008, -3/+1random but funny
- jorichter, on 08/07/2008, -2/+0It sure is one crazy day on Digg.
- Mizzike, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2Digg should have a way to bury the whole comment thread. Could be as simple as a double thumbs down button. In black. Just saying...
- Typhoon2009, on 08/07/2008, -11/+3I really want an iPhone. I've got a job now so I might be able to afford it. I like a lot of the apps available for it, such as the Bank of America one.
- Twee, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2The BofA app just takes you to the mobile web portal for online banking.
- AlienMushroom, on 08/07/2008, -10/+1I call those common sense.
- Pusod, on 08/07/2008, -30/+2WHATS UP WITH THE COMMENTS ON DIGG TODAY????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????? IT'S PRETTY SCREWY SHOWING MOSTLY ZERO DIGGS....AND YES I AM TYPING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M ***** YELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW THE ***** ANSWERS DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Aaronontheweb, on 08/07/2008, -2/+6Freak out over a website's comment system more please
- Pusod, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1if you check the number one most dugg article about the iphone app... the number one comment has only 7 diggs.... can you explain that!?
- shutaro, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! PANIC IN THE STREETS!!! The very FABRIC of SOCIETY will be torn asunder! War! Famine! Death! Run for your lives!!! WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!! The END is HERE!
- Aaronontheweb, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0I can explain that it's not worth worrying about. If my self-worth was determined by whether or not people dugg my idiotic comments on a website then I would have probably killed myself a long time ago.
- shutaro, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2@Aaronontheweb: Dammit, I rely on digg as a one-stop shop for entertainment *and* validation! Now what am I supposed to do? I demand to be entertained! 3MWAh!
- mv1008, on 08/07/2008, -2/+2b-b-b-BURIED
- shutaro, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Not from where I'm sitting.
- jorichter, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3Pusod... I'm not going to lie, I don't know what's going on either, and I'm scared too.
But in response to "the number one comment has only 7 diggs" thing. I saw that on a couple other posts too. It's because most the number 1 comments are from hours/days ago, whereas Digg only seemed to break a little while ago. So all the new comments get ***** up.
I hope your shouting fixes Digg. We're all counting on you.
Dugg.- mrBitch, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1RE: "I hope your shouting fixes Digg. We're all counting on you."
- I'm counting on YOU, jorichter! You make me weep with joy. Well done.
- mrBitch, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1RE: "I hope your shouting fixes Digg. We're all counting on you."
- Virgule, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0The internet is all messed up so you drive, brother.
- Aaronontheweb, on 08/07/2008, -2/+6Freak out over a website's comment system more please
- TimeForAnal, on 08/07/2008, -10/+4These tricks weren't really new to me, but I'll admit that I think the screenshot feature is awesome.One way I like to use this is to grab peoples photos from twinkle, edit them using sketches, and repost them on twinkle. This always brings the LOL's.
- chanop, on 08/07/2008, -15/+71. Write blog
2. Mention the Iphone
3. Watch it get duped on digg over and over again to the front page
3. ?????
4. PROFIT- Aaronontheweb, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Must be one of the hidden iPhone tricks
- SupremeBeing, on 08/07/2008, -1/+2Incomplete:
1. Write blog
2. Mention the iPhone/Obama is God/McCain is satan
3. Watch it get duped on digg over and over again to the front page
3. ?????
4. PROFIT- fribhey, on 08/07/2008, -4/+4Incomplete:
1. attempt to read digg

3. go to a different website/close browser
- fribhey, on 08/07/2008, -4/+4Incomplete:
- XMike14x, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Replace ????? with advertising revenue...
Oh the simplicity
- nick2, on 08/07/2008, -6/+0Bye bye website
- IanPR, on 08/07/2008, -6/+0And its down for the count!
Mirror anyone? :( - AlienMushroom, on 08/07/2008, -7/+1Mr. david2k1 can't count.
- Aaronontheweb, on 08/07/2008, -16/+10Another iPhone trick that a lot of iPhone users don't know about: you can actually stop talking about the iPhone simply by closing your mouth, breathing through your noise, and not reopening your mouth.
- bparrish, on 08/07/2008, -0/+13Another trick that iPhone hating digg users don't know about: you can actually stop being pissed that you don't have an iPhone if you ignore the digg articles about it...or you can buy one. You're obviously interested in the iPhone if you're reading these comments.
- Aaronontheweb, on 08/07/2008, -5/+2Or here's another scenario for you: I could just see half the front page dominated by more useless iPhone spam and decide that it's worth poking fanboys in the ribs.
I must be jealous. That must be it. Good going, Sherlock. - thecompkid, on 08/07/2008, -1/+3If iPhone articles are in the majority on a *user-supported* news website then obviously you're in the minority, which would imply that...
...you know what, I'll cut to the chase...
GTFO. - s0u1man, on 08/07/2008, -0/+131. My Profile->Settings->Customize Topics

- Fubeman, on 08/07/2008, -4/+1As an iPhone user myself, I whole heartedly agree!
- clak, on 08/07/2008, -0/+5Another iPhone trick that a lot of Apple Haters don't know about: you can actually stop showing how jealous you are of iPhone users by simply by closing your mouth, breathing through your noise, and not reopening your mouth.
- Yifkong, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3As a 6/29/07 adopter and thorough iPhone addict, I laughed at this comment. Bravo!

- Repsac, on 08/07/2008, -12/+7I don't know if it's just me, but all of these "Iphone tricks you might not know" articles all contain the exact same tips and tricks. Unless I see an article about an iphone trick that turns my iphone into a naked woman, I'll bury everything else!
- breckinshire, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4Just triple tap the home key.
- coloneltcb, on 08/07/2008, -12/+5Wow - I learned nothing
- b04rdb4be, on 08/07/2008, -7/+1Seen most of these.. but a good reminder nonetheless.
- plimpton777, on 08/07/2008, -10/+2Is there a trick to help you not be a moron and spend $999.99 for an icon?
- TwiztOG43, on 08/07/2008, -1/+0common sense
- Darph.Bobo, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2It's not so much a trick but something you should be born with, it's called a brain.
- plimpton777, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0What is this 'brain' of which you speak? Show me the way, Darph.Bobo.
- GeckoSlayer, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Open Cydia and download "Am I Richer!"
- trollick, on 08/07/2008, -12/+6***** you. Two of my friends died attempting these iPhone tricks.
- VivaLaUndead, on 08/07/2008, -6/+1dugg for web image saving....helpful to know, not that i'll ever use it.
- MikeSetera, on 08/07/2008, -11/+3Nope, I knew all of that.. lame...
- repmekevets, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1cookie?
- evanct, on 08/07/2008, -8/+2I don't think we have enough iphone articles on the front page, guys.
- WiseWeasel, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1You could always un-check the Apple section... Digg has made it pretty easy for people to do, thanks to Apple having their own section and all.
- supermanred, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1STFU. It's the coolest toy I own and I can see why people like discussing new things to do with them.
Stop ***** on our parade.
- Echomote, on 08/07/2008, -6/+0I knew each one.
How could anybody not know the 1st? It's hard enough to not do it accidently.
Also, "3. Domain Suffix - [On firmware 2.0 only]" -- worked on 1.1.4.- DJRobX, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I didn't know about it. I think I've done it accidentally a couple times, but never really knew the cause. I still wish there was a way you could scroll to the bottom, or othewise grab the scroll bar that appears on the right.
A lot of people also don't know about the "double-tap paragraph" to zoom in on it.
- DJRobX, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I didn't know about it. I think I've done it accidentally a couple times, but never really knew the cause. I still wish there was a way you could scroll to the bottom, or othewise grab the scroll bar that appears on the right.
- Berzerker7, on 08/07/2008, -7/+0I know everything in this article...nothing new here. Next?
- thenewshound00, on 08/07/2008, -8/+1Interesting.
- edwardmluk, on 08/07/2008, -9/+1Tip 13 (or 12 if you can't count either): Sell your iPhone and get a good phone.
- SPECOPS, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1I did, I sold my unlocked 2.5G iPhone for 580 on ebay, and bought the new one for 399. Thanks for the Tip!
- austin006, on 08/07/2008, -1/+2Alternate Tip 13/12: Don't buy the thing in the first place
- mentor972, on 08/07/2008, -6/+3Still working for me.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go type in a captcha. - Nicksname1, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4I was wondering how the hell I got a screenshot of my home screen in my photos. That was the only shortcut I was unaware, good article though.
- xsecretfiles, on 08/07/2008, -9/+0It's called the i-retard manual.
i-use it - rigi42, on 08/07/2008, -3/+4Well, I knew 10 out of 12 already, but those two extra were nice to know. I AM COMPLETE!
- dheaddy, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1"Press and hold the skip forward/back arrows to fast forward or rewind rather than skip tracks"
I didn't know about that one, useful as I usually try and skip the intro vid on diggnation using the manual slider and end up 5 min into the show by accident- WiseWeasel, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Yeah, that one was actually news to me as well... I had brought up that position scrubber bar before, but never knew how I had done it... nice to see you just have to press and hold on the album art.
- ExSlashdotter, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1this trick also works on iPods with clickwheels, fyi
- jamespurdy, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1This is a feature most media devices have...
- CharlesSaint, on 08/07/2008, -5/+0Is digg getting spammed in comments? Why do i have to enter a CAPTCHA when I'm already logged in?
Didn't know the domain name suffix one, though by the time you hold the .com button to get the other options you could have just typed it out. - wonginator1221, on 08/07/2008, -5/+43
Whether you're an iPhone rookie or a weathered pro, take a look at these quick-and-easy iPhone tips and tricks which not only save you time, but ease your overall iPhone experience.
(These items are listed in no particular order.)
1. Scroll to Top of Page -
In any application, Safari included, you can automatically scroll to the top of the page by tapping on the "top bar", which has the time, service bars, and battery. In Safari, this not only brings you to the top of the page, but also brings up the URL bar.
2. Domain Resolution -
When typing a URL in Safari, you don't have to type the "www" or the ".com".For instance, for www.cnn.com just type "cnn" in the URL box. Note: Your search engine must be set to Google, not Yahoo.
3. Domain Suffix - [On firmware 2.0 only]
Hold down the ".com" key for ".net, .edu, .org" keys. Note: Slide your finger from .com to .net/.edu/.org, rather than lifting and pressing.
4. Press & Hold For Alternate Characters -
Hold a letter for a popup of various versions of the character (i.e. to type España with the "ñ" simply hold "n" and simply slide/release to the appropriate character).
5. Click & Hold URL's -
In Safari, hold a link to see the URL and site name.
6. Soft Reset -
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button to restart your iPhone. A white light will flash, the screen will shut off and then turn back on. Keep holding until the screen turns back on.
7. Take a Screenshot -
To take a screenshot, hold the home button and click the sleep button. The screen will flash white and the screenshot will be stored in your camera roll.
8. Set Parental Controls -
You can enable certain restrictions or parental controls on your iPhone. You can block explicit lyrics, Safari, YouTube, iTunes, or the App Store. Just go to Settings, General, Restrictions.
9. Save Any Image from Safari -
To save any image from the web to your camera roll, simply press and hold the image. A menu will appear asking "Save Image" or "Cancel". Once the image is in your camera roll, you can set it as your wallpaper.
10. Fast Forward/Rewind Music & Video -
Press and hold the skip forward/back arrows to fast forward or rewind rather than skip tracks. Also, press on the album art to manually FF/rewind.
11. Delete Emails -
You can do both "bulk deletes" and "individual deletes" when browsing email. To do a bulk delete, simply click Edit, check off the desired emails, and then choose delete or move. To delete a single email, simply "cross it out" by swiping your finger across the email, then press delete.
12. Double Tap Home Button -
Double tapping the home button has several useful functions, which are described here. (http://www.ismashphone.com/2008/08/home-button-iph ...- smashingmonkey, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Not to nit-pick, but wouldn't #6 be a "hard" reset?
Either way, nice article.

- stlredbird, on 08/07/2008, -4/+4That was worth it just for the screen shot tip.
- MrM4nager, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I've done that by accident while trying to reset my iPod. Now I know how I managed to do it.
- timusca, on 08/07/2008, -8/+0Here's another one:

- biofreak12, on 08/07/2008, -8/+1Cool, but i knew all of them.
- Galroc, on 08/07/2008, -1/+12Tricks I have learned, mostly with entering text
type with auto correction in mind
dont -> don't
cant -> can't
i -> I
double space after a word immediately inserts a period and capitalizes the next word.- drewraphael, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2also...
Ill > I'll
and
id > I'd- cupcakeprincess, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1i have a problem with it changing id to is rather than i'd
- nogami, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Also, you can add a quick punctuation mark (like a comma for instance), by holding your finger down on the "symbols" button until the keyboard changes to symbols, then keep holding your finger down and slide to the punctuation mark you want, then release.
The keyboard will auto switch back to the qwerty keyboard when you take your finger off the screen.

- aaronmcdonald, on 08/07/2008, -7/+0worse list ever, cant believe its got this many diggs!! Screen capture might be something some people didnt know but apart from that its a pretty bad list! Whats happening to digg seriously?!
- beggersfunk, on 08/07/2008, -4/+0Here is tip number 12.) how to KAOMOJI/ Emoticons on iPhone . You have to enable and set it into Japanese keyboard select international keyboard and type in this letter KAOMOZE .On screeen select you Emoticons, done! It wil work on SMS, Pownce ,Twitter but not on e-mail. Just do some adventuring on your iPhone probably there is more apps that wil work with it.
- DJRobX, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Interesting. If you just type "KAOMOZ" without the E, you get more options, including what looks like a bunch of ass icons, such as (__^__), upside down. LOL.
Once you've selected one of these emoticons, they appear more quickly - they show up as soon as you hit the K.
-- Rob - beggersfunk, on 08/08/2008, -1/+1I gave a tip and dugg down. WTF!
