With 2.0 you can now start writing an SMS message and leave to do whatever you want whether it be write a new message to another contact or play a game of Super Monkey Ball and when you go back to the SMS contact you started writing to the message will still be there. It's something I wanted for a while and am glad they "fixed" it.
This was the original tip that I was given in another thread. It worked for me, as I let go right after the white flash and before the power off screen appeared. It seems that kdarling's correction on my tip (on page 1) works way better.
So regarding this, has anyone had problems using their old iphone headphones with the new phone? When i use my old headphones and double-click to change tracks it usually doesn't register, and if it does it most often pauses. I've tried all different speeds of clicking the button, but i can't get it to work right. I haven't tried my new headphones yet, but aren't they the same??
(1) Hand your iPhone and a micro-fiber cloth to a trusted friend.
(2) Go into the next room.
(3) Call your iPhone and when your friend answers, say "Start wiping."
It works very well.

HAHAHAHA that's hysterical!
But remote wipe is more for corporate users. If someone loses their phone, ATT (on behalf of the company) can remotely wipe the phone to avoid having confidential/proprietary information stolen.
No to what? No to what remote wipe is, or that it's done through exchange and not ATT? It is done through exchange, my bad...
This is available for WM by 3rd party software. Via text messages you can remote lock wipe unlock the phone, sd card, etc. I can't believe someone hasn't built this app yet.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this one... and I certainly never knew about it! I knew tapping in maps would zoom in, but use Two fingers to tap in Maps, and it zooms back out. I always used to do the pinch thing.
No one's tried using their old iphone headphones in the new phone and seeing if the tracks will change like before? I can't get my old headphones to work correctly...
If you use google maps on your computer and set up directions, click the email link and send it to an email account you have setup on the iPhone. On the iPhone open your email, click the link and it will open up the google maps app on the iPhone!. this is one of my favorite features!(was there since day 1)
AND deep in the preferences the double click home button thing has options. there are limitations on what it can do, but there are options. really cool. it something i stumbled on 4 months after having my phone.
Oh my - I thought y'all were joking about this screen capture feature, especially since it's almost the same key combination for shutting down or rebooting the iPhone. But it totally works!! Not sure what I'll use it for, but maybe I could make a cool wallpaper or show a friend my latest top score. Pretty spiffy! Thanks guys!
The calendar icon shows the correct day of the week and day of the month, but the weather icon doesn't show the correct temp or current weather....
