How to take better pictures with iphone

There are actually 3 ways which you can take pictures with iphone:

  1. Hold your breath and gently press the shutter button on the screen. Stabbing the button will jerk the phone and cause a blurred picture
  2. Do and point and shoot for landscape pictures. Gently press the volume up ( + ) button to capture the picture
  3. Plug in the ear plugs, gently press the volume up ( + ) button to capture the picture. This can help to minimize blurry pictures if you have unsteady hands like mine

A note to all, do remember to tap the screen for the lens to focus on the object before you press the shutter button.

Apps that make you money - part 1

Nope, I am definitely not talking about developing your own app and put up for sale on App Store.

I am referring to apps which you download and complete tasks to earn points or credits which are convertible to your own currency!

For real?

I am testing out the apps. So stay tune and wish me luck!

The first app : Iconzoomer

Some cool pictures of the app:




All looks authentic. Keep you updated.

Block your number from displaying on other's phone

Under Settings -- Phone -- Show my caller ID

Turn it off.

However, do note that this feature may be controlled by your service provider hence, if you do not subscribe to the block caller number display service, you will not be able to utilise this feature in your iphone.

Guess I am the unlucky one here.

Declining a call in locked screen

My iPhone just rang and it was flashing a call I badly wanted to avoid. However, in the locked screen it just appears as slide to answer with no other options for me. Where is the decline button when I need one?

Ok, here's what I have figured out,

  1. Press the sleep or power button once, that will silence the call (ends melody or vibration from the iPhone)
  2. Press the sleep or power button twice, that will decline the call. The caller will find the call terminated on his or her end or diverted to voicemail if you are subscribed to the service.

No hackulous?

*informational  purpose

Oh no, hackulous is dead!!!!

Ok, there are 2 other alternatives:

  1. vShare
    Go to http://v.appvv.com/en/ and click on download or install vShare. The file will be automatically downloaded and installed.
  2. appcake
    Go to http://iphonecake.com/i/ and click the install button. Do note that if you are installing appcake from Safari, you will need AppSync.

    You can also install appcake from Cydia directly, their repo: cydia.iphonecake.com
Between the 2 apps, I personally prefer vShare as it is a direct download from the search results.

For appcake, you will be re-directed to a third party website to download the files that you have requested. At times, the files may not be available.
