When I first got the iPhone I was amazed at it’s simplicity. “Wow” I thought. “Almost everything works as it should” . Well, even though that is not so much the case anymore, the caplock feature falls into this category and I didn’t realize it until later.

As soon as I discovered that I didn’t have to press the caplocks button each and every time I wanted a letter caplocked, I quite frankly felt, well….silly   and even a little upset that I didn’t realize this earlier, lol. How much time could I have saved if I would have simply used one of the two easy caplocking methods that exist.

So to spare anyone else the “sillset” moment (a horrible attempt at merging the word silly and upset ) , I give you the two simple caplocking methods.

For a Quick Fix:

1. Simply hold down shift (the “UP” arrow on the left of the keyboard) as you type. Even though I found this a little difficult to do as I typed anything near the shift button.

Which is why I prefer the next method…

Change your settings:

1. From your iPhone Home screen, tap “Settings“.
2. Scroll down and tap on “General“
3. Scroll down on this screen and tap on “Keyboard“
4. Tap on “Enable Cap Lock“
5. Press the “Home” button (the large button at the bottom on your iPhone) to return to your home.

Now test out your caplocks settings by double tapping the caplocks button and typing multiple letters.

See, I told you it would work!

Chao until next time my iPhone buddies! Also, if you have any questions, how-to’s, or tips you would like me to cover, just leave a comment and let me know. We are here to help!

Your “Sent from my iPhone” email signature not saying enough to your contacts? Change it!

Use your signature change as the perfect opportunity to remind your contact about your company, remind them where you are, make them aware of your Twitter account, etc. Anything you would like to add in your signature (within characters or less, ) you can add in your iPhone signature.

So how do you do it, get on with it already? Ok, ok!

1. From your iPhone or iPod Home screen, tap “Settings“
2. Scroll down and tap on “Mail, Contacts, Calendars“
3. Scroll down again until you find “Signature” and tap on it to change your signature.
4. The iPhone keyboard will pop-up and will be pre-filled with the words “Sent from my iPhone“. You can change this signature to whatever you would like.
5. Once you have changed the signature, simply press the “Mail” arrow at the top of screen pointed backwards and your signature will be instantly saved.

That’s it! To check your work (like all of your Math teachers so often reminded you to do) simply draft an email from the phone and it should appear at the bottom of your email. If you don’t like how it appears, repeat the steps and format as you would like it to display.

That’s all for now, chao!

You love your iPhone and when you are not using all of those wonderful apps that you have for your iPhone, you actually use it to make phone calls, no kidding! Well, I have a tip for you when you receive phone calls that you are too busy at the time to answer or just quite frankly want to ignore at the moment. You can send phone calls directly to voicemail using your iPhone power button, how neat right!? More after the jump.

So when receiving an incoming call that you want to send directly to your voicemail simply press the power button, the small silver button located at the top of your iPhone, twice and the call will be immediately sent straight to voicemail!

Another quick tip with your iPhone power button and your phone calls: Muted Phone Call Ringing.

So you’ve found yourself in an important meeting, a very quiet library or even a doctor’s office that doesn’t allow cellphone use, yet someone insists on speaking to you now! All you have to do to spare yourself the ugly looks is quickly press the power button once and the ringing on your iPhone will be muted instantly. Nice save!

When you see your battery life dwindling away, wouldn’t you like to know exactly how much battery life you have left, besides that dreaded “20% Battery Life” warning? Well if you have an iPhone 3GS this quick tip is for you…

For the iPhone 3GS, you can now display a percentage meter right next to the traditional battery life indicator. To enable the battery life percentage meter:

1. From your iPhone home screen, tap on “Settings“.
2. Next tap on “General“.
3. Now tap on “Usage” and flip the “Battery Percentage” switch on.

Now you’ll see the percentage of available battery right next to the battery icon! If you ever want to turn it off or find that this trick is not for your, simply flip it off. Now that was a little too simple.

When you hold your precious iPhone in your hands what is one of the first things you see, besides the screen silly, your iPhone’s home button! Believe it or not, Apple has made this button very helpful and it does more than close out your apps.

I will detail briefly the power of your iPhone Home Button, this is a total must have for any iPhone or iPod Touch power-users or the power-users in the making.

#1  - Go directly to the Home Screen.

You are a total app fanatic, you have 180 apps (the maximum number of apps you can have on an iPhone 4 on the home row and 176 on the other 11 pages, btw) and you want to just get to something on the first page. Don’t you dare swipe your finger across the page 11 times…no no no…simply tap your home button once and you are there.

#2 – Quickly get access to your tunes.

When your phone is locked there is absolutely no reason you should unlock the phone just to access your music on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Simply press the home button twice when you phone is locked and press play. It’s that easy folks.

#3 – Need to make a quick call.

That’s right, your iPhone home button handles this too. Simply double tap your iPhone’s home button from the first page/home screen and your iPhone will automatically pull up your

#4 – Send out the search dogs.

Ok, maybe not the search dogs, but with one touch of your iPhone or iPod Touch home button (with 3.0 software) from your home screen/first page you can instantly be sent to the search screen and begin your search.

#5 – Two words. Voice Control

Do you have an iPhone 3GS…well hold down your home button for a few seconds and your iPhone voice controls will ignite.

Boooo….no fair I don’t have a 3GS, ok here is another!

BONUS: Don’t like some of these functions for your home button, you can change them you know!

Yes the power of the iPhone and iPod once again. To change your home button settings:

1. From your home screen, tap on “Settings”
2. Tap on “General”
3. Scroll down and tap on “Home” and change your settings.
