    Easy way to update Twitter location manually?

    Seems like there should be an easy iPhone equivalent of going to my Twitter profile settings, typing in a new location, and having it set. I can't find it. The Twitter apps are too specific, and I don't want to tweet from a street address, and if I have Brightkite update with each checkin then I...

    Qs about switching to 3G S

    I'm in the US with AT&T and a current 3G. My 3G S will get here someday soon (2-day shipping seems to mean "we'll still send it whenever we feel like it" to Apple), and I'm foggy on how to switch to the new phone. I've never had a SIM phone before. Do I take the old SIM out and put it in the new...

    Hardware upgrade from 3G?

    I got a 3G last year, as did a lot of us on this forum, I suspect. I didn't have an original iPhone, so I don't remember whether those who did were given a price break to upgrade to the 3G. I'm curious about how that worked and whether there are plans/rumors as to whether current 3G owners will...

    Using dialer: voice reads numbers

    I don't know what I did, but now when I use my dialer my phone reads off the numbers ("nine. one. three...."). It's hella annoying, and I can't for the life of me find this setting. Anyone?

    iPhone removes messages/rearranges icons without restore

    My technology-challenged friend reports that her iPhone 3G was sitting innocently on her desk, unhooked to her Mac, and the screen flickered. She unlocked it and noted that her red badge icons disappeared, and upon exploration she noted that her e-mails and texts had all disappeared. Her icons...

    Changing mail badge behavior

    I just noticed that my iPhone reports only the number of unread messages in my inbox for Gmail. I've dinked around but can't find a way to change it. Anyone know if this can be done? I have filters that shuttle some messages past the inbox to various labels, and I'd like to have those messages...

    Swirly MMS

    Can anyone explain how to get SwirlyMMS to work on AT&T in the US? I have tried several of the settings sprinkled around the Web, but no dice. I've read that you have to add MMS through the carrier, but how would I even do that with an iPhone? Won't they just say that iPhones can't have MMS? Any...

    Invisible folders in netatalk?

    I just jailbroke the 2.2 firmware and installed netatalk, Winterboard, and my few other must-haves. However, when I logged into my phone from my Mac and went to where the themes folder should be (/root/Library/Themes), there is no Themes folder. No problem, said I, and created a new folder...

    Crashed hard drive: App Store Q

    One of my friends has no backup of her hard drive and poured coffee into it. It's dead. (Lucky her; she got one of the new MacBook Pros! We'll be having a conversation about backup....) I can use Senuti to get her music off the iPhone, but what about her apps? Her iPhone isn't jailbroken so she...

    Controlling app version detritus: questions

    I now have a lot of apps that have gotten updated on my phone, and the orange "other" stripe gets longer and longer. If I go to my Mobile Applications folder in the Finder, I note that multiple versions of my apps are living there with numbers appended (eg, Todo, Todo 1, Todo 2...). Is this the...

    Review: Mobile Fotos

    Overall rating: **** Mobile Fotos ($2.99) is an excellent way to use Flickr on the iPhone. It is not officially endorsed by Flickr, but it makes superb use of the Flickr API. When you tap the icon, here is what you see: "You" gives you a list of what you can get to through your Flickr page...

    Browsing/scrolling question

    I just exchanged my BlackBerry for an iPhone. Not sure if I'm happy with the trade yet, but it's such a different device that I'm settling in and giving it a fair shot. My first question is this: when I am browsing on Safari or reading some e-mails, I can reverse-pinch to make the text big...
