Very well done.

Nothing I didn't already know so I feel very smart.

 

Great video, are there more advanced things that you did not get into?

 

I will be doing another more advanced video soon.

 

Ordered my iPhone yesterday, coming from a Droid--Those tips will def. help--Thanks

Here's a question, I sent a very small mp3(1 second) clip to friend that wanted a tone I have my texts set with. How can she set it as her text tone?

 

Cool. I couldn't get the custom vibrate to work on my 4s. A vibrate option doesn't come up.

 

Great tips. Thanks

 

How did you get it to say your name when sending that text?

 

Anyway to add an icon? Would like to add a CONTACTS and VOICEMAIL icon---Make it a bit easier than going in thru the phone

 

Thank you!

 

What cool apps are you guys using? Looking for some helpful apps, not games...

 

I use a lot of finance news apps, like the WSJ, Bloomberg, and Bloomberg Radio +. Additionally, I use Tapatalk for FChatting- it is so much nicer than using the web browser for it.

 

I figured it out on my own. You need to enable that function in the general settings.

 

quite the device. I currently work as a tech for verizon and dont deal with these much (a good thing) and when I do its a pleasure. Also check out ****sirisays.com lol

 

Red Lazer is a good one, you scan the barcode of any product with the phone and it will tell you all the prices of the product, retail and on the net.
GasBuddy, another good one will show you gas prices of stations where ever you are, just add zip code or city and presto. Updated hourly.
Directv app is awesome, so if I am away from the house I can set the DVR to record a show on any of my DVR's.
Traffic view, another good one shows you real time streaming road traffic, essential for the DC area!!

 

Make a contact with your own phone number and name it your name.

 

I figured it out after playing with it awhile

 

After you are done making the video, it might be useful to have a table of contents, with the timecode for the beginning of each tip, displayed for 2-5 seconds at the beginning, so viewers can see where a specific tip is and jump there directly.

ie.
Cut and Paste .... 2:13
Backgrounds .......2.43
Custom vibration..3.56
etc.

Also, there is no need to begin each tip by saying "The next tip is..." You can simply state what you are going to talk about, ie. "Cut and Paste" and then dive into the topic ie. "Cutting text is done by..." and "In order to paste the text..."

The vides are well done, but when you do the double click, it's very quick and not obvious. Maybe make that more pronounced? Second, you refer to the home button as the middle button. Not a big deal, but it's the only button on the face of the phone, so calling it a middle button might lead someone to look for other buttons that it is in the middle of. Just call it the big button, or the button.

A printed out cheat sheet on a blog site with the same tips would also be useful. Once the video has been seen, it's more efficient to just look up the tip rather than have to wade through the footage again, if someone just wants to quickly refresh their memory.

Finally, the phone screen is perfectly visible as it is, but you can zoom in even more so it occupies as much of the screen as possible. Right now, your hands occupy far more of the screen than the phone does. Keeping that as the focus by having it occupy as much of the video window as possible might be helpful, although it is fine as it is.

Good job, thank you.

 

Thanks. I added you to my home screen. A little tip I learned
