Ever since iOS 5 was released, users have complained of reduced battery life on their iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.  Last week I posted an article with a few handy hints about generally improving battery life on your phone, and hopefully some of them paid off.  However, if you#8217;re like me they only helped out pa href=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ALWXP92f0Z2lop0SZ5jMymERwNo/0/da”img src=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ALWXP92f0Z2lop0SZ5jMymERwNo/0/di” border=”0″ ismap=”true”/img/abr/ a href=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ALWXP92f0Z2lop0SZ5jMymERwNo/1/da”img src=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ALWXP92f0Z2lop0SZ5jMymERwNo/1/di” border=”0″ ismap=”true”/img/a/pdiv class=”feedflare” a href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/iphone-freak?a=B49BaNHQLqw:V9_XfM4mNZA:yIl2AUoC8zA”img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/iphone-freak?d=yIl2AUoC8zA” border=”0″/img/a /divimg src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/iphone-freak/~4/B49BaNHQLqw” height=”1″ width=”1″/

iPhone and iOS 5 Battery Problems Continue, Here’s Another Fix

In the absence of an official Apple firmware fix, there is a limited amount of things a frustrated iPhone 3G user can do if their phone is having performance problems since upgrading to iOS 4.

Voice Control is an exclusive feature of

Hi, guys. I’ve found the great solution to stream all your local sounds to AirPort Express, which connected to your multimedia sound system. Frankly speaking it was almost in the default installation of Ubuntu Linux. All you need is to install the latest Pulse Audio and Pulse Audio Volume Control

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol paprefs padevchooser pulseaudio-module-raop

Go to the top menu System -> Preferences -> PulseAudio Preferences

Choose in the top menu

Applications -> Sound & Video -> PulseAudio Volume Control

In the Playback tab choose an application you want to stream and select Stream on dropdown menu your AirPort Express

This is the one way you can do it. But i prefer the following solution. Click with right mouse button on the Sound Volume icon in the application tab and select Sound Properties

In the Output tab select your AirPort Express device and that it. Everything should play well and you can manage volume right from Ubuntu Volume Control or using your hard keyboard button. That works very nice for me even better than in Windows or Mac OS X cause you can stream every application you want and control volume control using your system settings. One more thing i would like to mention is that there is no way to use your iPhone with Remote application

Have a fun

p.s. feel free to share solutions for another versions of Linux OS, like Debian etc.

Now we can synchronize our contacts and calendar with GMAIL Contact and Google Calendar using PUSH technology. It really easy to setup that in your iPhone. Just select Microsoft Exchange when adding new account. For iPhone and Windows Mobile devices, Google Sync allows you to get your Gmail Contacts and Google Calendar events to your phone. Once you set up Sync on your phone, it will automatically begin synchronizing your address book and calendar in the background, over-the-air, so you can attend to other tasks. Sync uses push technology so any changes or additions to your calendar or contacts are reflected on your device in minutes. The connection is always on so you don’t have to manually sync your phone after Sync has been set up. This means that when your colleague changes the time of the TPS report cover sheets meeting, you’ll know about it right away.

Since Sync is a two-way service, you can make changes on your phone or in your Google Account. Your calendar and contacts are always up-to-date, no matter where you are or what you’re doing. Also, since your data is automatically backed up to your Google Account, it’s securely stored even if you lose your phone.

Sync: Set Up Your iPhone or iPod Touch

Important! Google Sync uses the Microsoft

For example you wanna save following video from youtube.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXRH50fvHWA as mp4 file on your computer. Just add mp4 after http://www.youtube and before .com in the address bar, e.g. http://www.youtubemp4.com/watch?v=YXRH50fvHWA and click on it. On the opened page you will get the link to download mp4 file. Save Link As from context menu of your browser (click right mouse button on the link to display context menu). Now you can add that file to your iTunes library and synchronize with your iPhone/iPod.

Feel free to ask if something is not quite clear.

QuickUnlock

QuickUnlock provides more options for locking/unlocking your iPhone. If your phone is locked simply hit the home button three times to unlock temporarily.
