Top 10 iPhone Tips and Tricks

You can use a smartphone for years and not learn all of its tricks. That's why the Brighthand staff has put together this list of the ten most useful features of Apple's smartphone that most people probably aren't aware of.

10. You can take a picture using the headphone cord. Ever want to get a bit father away from the camera when taking a self portrait? Everyone should know that you can snap a picture with your iPhone by pressing the Volume Up button, but few people realize this works with the volume buttons built into the headphones, too.

9. The Lock Screen isn't really locked. Even without unlocking your device you can do quite a bit. Tap and hold on the Home button and you'll bring up Siri. Double tap the Home button and audio controls will appear. And, of course, a camera button was added to the Lock Screen in iOS 5.1.

8. You can tap and hold in the Calendar to add events. The + button is always there, of course, but if you are in the Day view it's much quicker to press on the hour you want the event to appear, as that will cause an event to be created at that time.

7. Some people complain that Apple's smartphone doesn't have an LED to flash to silently notify you of an incoming call or an alarm going off, a standard feature on most off this device's competitors. Actually it does: the camera flash can be set to take care this task. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > LED Flash for Alerts.

6. You can immediately jump to the top of a long web page, email, document, etc. If you've scrolled down, down, down to the end of a page and want to go back to the top, tap on the clock at the top of the screen. You'll be taken right to the beginning.

5. iMessage does double-duty as an SMS app. When you're texting your non-iPhone using friends, anything over 160 characters gets split in two. You can see when this is going to happen by adding a character count to iMessage. Enable this by going to Settings > Messages > Character Count

4. You can raise your iPhone to your ear and start barking out orders to Siri at any time, without needing to touch the Home button. You need to enable this, though. Just go to Settings > General > Siri > Raise to Speak.

3. You can create an image of your iPhone's screen at any point. Press down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and a screenshot will be saved in the Images app.

2. There is a dictionary built into iOS that you can use to look up definitions at almost any time. If you see a word you don't recognize in Safari, for example, tap and hold on it. One of the options that will pop up is "Define".

1. It's a very rare occurrence, but sometimes an iPhone will lock up. Maybe it won't wake up from sleep mode, even if you know the battery isn't completely drained. Or some poorly-written apps will crash and lock up the device. If this ever happens to you, you can force it to reset by holding down the Home and Power buttons until the device starts to reboot. Don't panic, this can take a number of seconds.

Making Money WIith Legit Online Surveys

Everyone could use a little extra money, especially in today's highly troubled economy. We're here to tell you that there's an easy way to make some extra cash, and you don't even have to leave your home to do it! You won't get rich taking online surveys for cash, but you can certainly make enough extra money each month that it will make a nice difference.

Why are paid surveys the best jobs for teens on the internet right now? That's a question that gets asked a lot. Most of you probably think they aren't anywhere near being a good way to earn some cash. Well, I'm here to prove you wrong, because I have easily turned them into my top money maker on the web, and all you have to do is change how you "look" for paid surveys to turn them into the best jobs for teens.

It's fun taking online surveys for cash, and it can be quite rewarding. Some online surveys pay as much as $75 or $100 each. But many others pay far less, some as low as $1.00. Just keep in mind that you may have to participate in some of the lower-paying online surveys for cash before you start receiving invitations for surveys that pay far better.

It's fun taking online surveys for cash, and it can be quite rewarding. Some online surveys pay as much as $75 or $100 each. But many others pay far less, some as low as $1.00. Just keep in mind that you may have to participate in some of the lower-paying online surveys for cash before you start receiving invitations for surveys that pay far better.

The first thing you should do is forget about the traditional ways of looking for survey websites. They just don't work any more, because it always, always brings you to the absolute worst places possible. I am talking specifically about search engines, which are pretty much useless when you want to earn the most cash from quick paid surveys. You may have been able to find some of the better websites a year ago, but now they just supply you with an outdated list of penny pinching websites. This is why it's time to kick search engines to the curb.

Once you're registered, most online survey companies will send you emails that invite you to participate in specific surveys. These companies use the information that you provide during the registration process to find surveys that might be suitable for you, and then invite you to those surveys. You won't be invited to every survey that's offered by a company, but each month you'll receive at least a few opportunities to make money taking surveys from the companies you've registered with.

You also need to know that an invitation does not guarantee that you'll be allowed to complete and be compensated for that survey. Online companies "qualify" their survey takers for full participation through a series of initial questions. If your responses to those initial questions don't meet the survey's intended demographics you won't be allowed to complete the survey. You won't make money taking surveys that you don't qualify for. But if you do qualify and complete the survey, you'll be paid whatever amount of cash the survey company promised you.

These thoughts are just some general things to keep in mind if you're wondering about how to make money taking surveys. But the main thing to remember is that taking online surveys for cash is easy, rewarding and fun.

Even though you may see a lot of potential in the beginning, you have to look at the payout structure before you sign up. If they ask you for bank wiring then you have to do additional background checking on the company. If your online surveys for cash payments are through somewhere like PayPal, you have to figure out what type of thresholds they offer.

All of this is important, because if you need paid every other week, everyday, or before a threshold, you should know this before you sign up. Sometimes, these cash for surveys sites wait to pay you after you've accumulated $100. If this is secondary income and it takes you 2 or 3 months to reach that plateau (based on time), you could end up extremely frustrated.

Usually the best online survey sites are free to join and after that they will never ask you for money once you are a member. Never pay to join a paid survey site.

I believe you have all it takes to join a survey site and make good money from it.Click Here!
