How to Sync Google Calendar With iPhone Calendar

Here is how to set up your iPhone or iPod Touch to sync calendars with Google over the air:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CalDAV Account

2. For the CalDAV settings, enter the following information. Note that your username should be the email address you use to access your Google calendar as well as the password.

3. Then tap “Next” and it should verify your information.

4. If you can’t get your account verified, tap “Advanced settings” and make sure that “Use SSL” is On, that the port is 443, and that your Account URL includes the sign “@” in your email address.

That’s it!

Now every time you add an event to your iPhone calendar, it will also show up on your Google calendar, and vice versa. You obviously need to have internet access from your iPod or iPhone for the data to sync. Note that the sync is not immediate. It sometimes takes a few seconds but besides this, it works very well.

How to Share Your iPhone Pictures in Full Resolution......!!

There are 2 ways to share your iPhone pictures via email or MMS but one is better than the other because it does not compress the images and keep them in their original size and resolution.

Method 1: The first way is to simply go to the photo application and type “share”. This will ask you if you want to share via email or MMS. Whatever you decide, it will compress the picture to 800×600, reducing the quality of the image.

Method 2: The better way to do it if you want to preserve the quality of your images is to “copy” (not “share”) the image, then manually launch the mail or MMS app, and paste the image into it. This way, your images will not be automatically resized and should be 1600×1200.

By using the second method, your MMS or email will take longer to be sent out, but at least it will be a full quality image.

9 iPhone Tips You Should Know About....

Every once in a while I get asked about how to do something dead simple on the iPhone, such as moving icons around. To most of us, this is very basic stuff, but not everyone knows everything about the iPhone, which is why I decided to write a post with 9 tips and tricks.

1. Quickly Add A ” . “

In any application that lets your input text, you can quickly add a period (” . “) by simply tapping the space bar twice.

2. Zooming In and Out in Google Maps

Instead of pinching your finger on the screen to zoom in and out in Google Maps, simply double tap with one finger to zoom in, or tap once with 2 fingers to zoom out.

3. Rearrange icons

To move icons around, simply hold you finger on one icon. All of them will start wiggling. Rearrange them by dragging them around. When you’re done, press the home button.

4. Delete Applications

To delete an application from your iPhone, hold your finger on the app you want to delete until all apps start wiggling. Then tap the ” X ” on the app you want to delete and confirm. Note that you can’t delete the stock apps (ie Maps, Notes, etc…).

5. Create Additional Home Screens

While arranging icons, drag an icon to the right edge of the screen until a new screen appears. You can flick to return to the original screen and drag more icons to the new screen. You can create up to 11 screens.

6. Quickly Go Back to the First Home Screen

You can quickly go back to the first home screen from any screen by pressing the home button.

7. Adding an International Keyboard

If you sometimes type in a different language, it is wise to add this language to your keyboard. To do so, go to Settings > General > International > Keyboards, and choose the language you want to add. To change keyboards while you’re typing, simply tap the little globe icon at the bottom left of the keyboard.

8. While On A Call

You can do pretty much anything while on a call, such as browsing the web, writing notes, etc… While on a call, just press the home button and feel free to open another application.

9.Deleting Lots of Text

If you have a lot of text to delete, hold your finger on the delete key instead of tapping it many times. By holding the delete key, it will start by deleting letter by letter, but after a few seconds, it will delete word by word.
