iPhone OS 4 100+ new features: The Search Begins

[M87]

There's a new accessibility feature called Large Text. It enlarges text (obviously) in contacts, mail, messages and notes. Sizes range from 20pt to 56pt.

Really useful for me, I'm visually impaired.

One thing that I thought was interesting was if you double click on the lock screen it used to just show you the iPod controls, assuming you have that setting enabled, but now with iOS4 it shows you the album art of whatever was last playing. Kinda handy for knowing what you played last.

Bluetooth

Any improvement on bluetooth syncing with cars, specifically pushing the phonebook info to the car's bluetooth calling features. I've been very disappointed with the iPhone's BT performance in both cars I've tried it in (Mazda and Infiniti)

Double click, swipe right on multitasking bar.
I've been using iOS4 for two months, this feature came about a month ago, you get used to it.

But in car be a little more difficult

I was referring to the lock screen, unless its the same for both. I'm not sure...?

Is anyone still able to find the custom dictionary in the gold master? It used to be under general settings > Keyboard > Edit User dictionary but for the life of me I can't find it now.

Ah, yeah, that still is iPod controls

 

[damnyooneek]

Does this mean at Wi-Fi always stays on??? I will be so happy if this is true since I don't want data being sent over a capped 3G network.

yea it stays on and doesn't sleep. same goes for the ipod touch too. it used to go to sleep after the screen turns off.

I got one. When any app is accessing your location, a compass needle icon appears in the status bar.

That feature was announced in the 4.0 event.

I'm with you on this one. That setting seems to be gone in the GM. Haven't been able to find it anywhere else... hope they bring it back. I was kinda excited about it!

This is minor... but I noticed in the multitask bar, when you want to remove apps, it will actually register multitouch so you can delete more than one at a time..

this is a must...i think their original size fonts for messages is too small...glad they fixed this...

do they let you make it BOLD ?

 

[LoganT]

Am I the only one who can't find the custom user dictionary? Did Apple remove it in the golden master release?

I've looked under General>Keyboard and I don't see an option.

 

[sleyeu]

Where is my radio tuner


f internet radio over wifi/3g

 

[chrmjenkins]

yea it stays on and doesn't sleep. same goes for the ipod touch too. it used to go to sleep after the screen turns off.

Wait, so if you were listening to Pandora on WiFi and the screen went to sleep, it'd switch to 3G? I had no idea.

 

[REBELinBLUE]

I keep hearing about the ability to upload runs directly from the nike+ app but I'll be damned if I can find that option, anyone seen it?

 

[dgreening]

Custom SMS Tones

anybody heard if the SMS Tones are customizable?

Just curious.

It would be cool if someone found these 2 options..

• Custom SMS tones
• Remove stocks app

That's only for a Japanese keyboard.

Crazy

Apple will not allow 3G users to set wallpaper on their Home screen in iOS 4 like 3GS users.

Lock screen as before, but not allowing us to having a wallpaper set on Home screen?? c'mon! damn you Apple... that's tight...

 

[Advil]

I think it has a faster shutter speed. I installed it on my 3gs and pics are taken faster i think

Can someone please tell us if there are custom SMS tones in OS 4?

YES!!! SO HAPPY! No worries about sending data in the middle of the night

No, I think it would stay on wifi if you were using the wifi as the iPhone was asleep.
