“Did you know you can voice dial (hold down home) from the lock screen without unlocking the phone??” – Kenneth

“And by the way, the circular arrow button isn’t a repeat function for the iPod like you might think. It’s actually a screen orientation lock.” – Dan

I didn’t know either of these. Wow. lol

Not only do you not know how to use iOS4, but it appears you have a real problem w/Fieldrunners. Only 18 hearts left at level 74? We’re going to have to take away your iPhone license.

Thank you VERY much. I also never RTFM either. I really like this tip. Thanks again.

Sounds a 80 year old former librarian kidnapped Doc! We need to send him some help. Well, actually I’ve figured out something new with Maps just recently. Doc or the librarian pretending to be Doc, this will blow your mind:

1-handed Maps zoom out:

LOL @Edna.

Personally I think the double-tap screen should also have the music controls (without swiping to another screen) and quit / kill button for current app. Time to write apple.com/feedback

Doc,

You’re such a sweetie. I’m so glad that you figured this out for me. I have a bake sale that I’m making some cookies for this coming Lord’s day, and I would just love to set a few aside for you. Such a nice young man. Now, if you really want to make an old lady happy, I’ll give you a quarter if you’ll rub my bunions.

Thank you,
Edna May Springer

Well Doc,

if it makes you feel better, sometimes after I played with a toy for a while, I’ll finally read the instruction manual for it and find something new.

Or, after double-clicking the home button to see recent / background apps, rather than sweeping multiple times to the right, you could sweep one time to the left.

Even the best of us overlook or miss some of the details from time to time, there’s no harm in that. Just in case anyone else overlooked it, the controls will also function for Pandora (the iPod icon is also changed to Pandora’s) if you are listening to it rather than the iPod. There may be other music apps that do the same but I don’t use any others.

I didn’t know either… but that’s because I’m still waiting for a free iPhone in the Apple store
