Do wish to have a push notification from a particular contact who sends you email in iPhone, I know your answer is Yes. Then you can follow a video tutorial from MacWorld at the end of this article.

The tips explained in the video can be achieved using the Wonderful boxcar app and a Gmail account for allowing to forward message to a particular account. Afterward, you can get a push notification from a particular contact if he or she sending you an email. You can even set a custom sound for the email.

Let’s watch the video below.

Today I would like to introduce a Cydia Tweak, the developer of it named it, AppLocker 2.  A little brother of the famous Applocker, developed by Ori Kadosh one of iPhone respective developers. What AppLocker 2 will do to you is securing your iPhone from the outsiders whether they are tinkerers or intruders from intruders.

AppLocker 2 is focusing to secure your applications, folders and others content within your device. And you can lock certain of apps or folders anytime you like with password, or unlock the certain apps you think they are ok to be unguarded and it can also be set in setting.

How about in Wi-Fi network? This smart app will amaze you I guess. I will smartly detect where you are, let’s say you are at home with your Wi-Fi activated, it knows and it will be disabled. But if you are outside or in public, it will enable itself.

AppLocker 2 is free if you previously purchased it first generation, but for fresh buyer, you are charged with a full price it’s anpit 1$. The developer promises that the update it’s not simply iOS 5 compatible, but features you would like.

Get AppLocker 2 from Cydia under BigBoss Repo.

Apple has updated its iOS firmware to be 5.1 beta 2 with build number 9B5127c and seeded for registered developers only on iOS dev center. Things included in the release, mostly for cleaning the bugs found on the previous — hope they put the workaround for the poor iPhone battery life performance too — and to paving the road for the upcoming updates.

However the most prominent sugar detected in this beta 2 is the ability to delete photos taken from iOS 5.1 device can be deleted from Photo Stream and the deleted photo will be automatically removed from photo stream. And as for the older ones can also be disposed manually via your device.

And if you feel annoyed with the App icons and profile photo, they are not loading in apps using Game Center anymore.

Is that all iOS 5.1 beta 2 offering? Not yet found out, as we are familiar enough with Apple’s habit that always places something “world shattering” in the hidden place waiting for some one to dig into and discover it. However you can find more on this release on Apple developers site (link at the last paragraph of this post) . Along with the release, Apple also has made the XCODE 4 available for Mac OS X and iOS.

Update: iTunes 10.5.2 is released.

So if you are one of the honor members of the Apple developers, go grab the seed!

This post is about how to enable the Android-like auto correct keyboard bar to your iOS based phone. Yes, these Windows phone and Android feature-like can be set to be used to the iPhone.

Frankly the feature is already there for a while in iOS device, however since the release of the iOS 5 Apple decided to hide it. And thanks to Sonny Dickson to find a trick to make this auto words suggestions come alive and available worldwide.

Anyway before going into the how to guide, first thing I would like you to know that there is a minor change after applied this trick, firstly the default Go or Search in your device will be taken off and replaced with Confirm command, and somehow the autospacing attached with your device will be gone too.

Let’s start the how to guide to enable Android multiple word suggestions to your iOS phones.

1. Firstly you need to downloadiBackupBot
2. Well, after it’s install then don’t forget to backup all your device’s data thus backup them in iTunes, because we’re going to modify them in the next phases.
3. Run iBackupBot and find the backup, then load it.
4. Find Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboard.plist and open the file. (if your software isn’t registered you’ll have to press cancel and then it will open)
5. Add in the following code:<key>KeyboardAutocorrectionLists</key><string>YES</string>
6. When all set, then save the modifications you’ve made and continue the process by restoring from backup from within iBackupbot.

We all know what Siri is and what abilities this app can do to assist our daily live, albeit she’s not the alone app designed to do things to benefit ourselves, yet she’s the only hot topic.

It’s time to break that and grab other name that can be considered a hot contender to Siri, well let me introduce you Tellme from Windows Phone 7.5.

There is an entertaining and also useful video that was created to compare between Siri of iPhone and Tellme of WP 7.5.

It is really a worth watching video, to get deeper understanding on the specific app can do while the other fail to fulfill. In overall you will reap something after watching the video — albeit can not be taken as a decisive comparison to sort out which one is the best one — but for educational and entertaining purpose and also to understand deeper about these two voice assistant apps.

Anyway let’s watch the video Siri Vs Tellme.

May be I missed something but judging by the video it’s clear that Siri is more communicative and personal while Tellme is like follow by the rule application. What do you think?

And Siri amazed me when the guy asks what is the purpose of life, she answers; “that’s easy!….”. When the guy asks what is the best Smartphone?”…Siri exclaims; “You’re kidding…right?” May be the next line would be;” Of course iPhone!”

Well, I must admit that previously I brought a bad news — Apple is still unable to fix the iPhone battery life issue — and I believe some people who read it feeling unhappy, thus to redeem that sin, today I switched to be good news bringer and bring you an entertaining info.

Looks like the ongoing iPhone battery life headache is still irreparable although in almost every two or three weeks we get the iOS updates, but none of them can break the iPhone battery’s curse.

All the iPhone users who suffer with this unresolved issue are deeply disappointed, they want a device that can live long so they can spend much time enjoying what the handset offers to them, instead feeling worry about battery draining.

I am not the iOS 5.0.X based device user, but I can feel the pain of having a handset that is low battery life.

No matter what the phone offers will be less useful if we are limited to use the installed applications, because worrying the certain app could hungrily eat our battery’s life.

Apple still has no clue on how to fix the issue, this can be seen after all the consecutive releases of iOS 5, the culprit still there and unsolved caused many people gather together demanding the company to end this misery (<<Apple site).

If you visit the link above — which is Apple official support forum — you will see the situation is uncontrollable . Some users even report their battery performance is much worse with iOS 5.1 and so on.

When we all know the main purpose of the said iOS release is to fix the rapid battery drainage issue found in the previous iOS version. Yet. what we are handed is more dreadful than before.

Will this situation last forever, if will not, when it will be over and how Apple will fix the iOS 5 battery life issue? Time will tell!

iPhone fans all over the world have to accept the fact that uploading their iPhone photos to Google+ is impossible, since the Google new service is currently available to Android OS users. Fortunately, someone has come out to bring the joy to iPhone users to do almost exactly as Android-based iPhone fans.

With the iPhone application, called PicOnHand you can upload your stored iPhone photo to Google+ and can forget the web app for the absence of the simple photo uploading support. If you are interested with the app, you can get it for free from this link (iTunes link).

Piconhand

Of course Piconhand is not Google+ official app, it’s understandable the iPhone app version is not available yet as Google prioritized the Android native app first. They will go to iPhone version, just wait, but before it comes true then Piconhand can be a temporary app for iPhone users.

You probably had known that the newest Verizon iPhone 4 has a similar issue to the AT&T iPhone. Report says if the CDMA based iPhone is held in a certain way, it could cause dropped calls or problems dialing out.

Consumer Reports tested the Verizon iPhone 4 and found that covering tiny gaps in the metal band surrounding the phone’s edge causes “meaningful decline in performance.”

The report further says the iPhone 4 would drop calls if the iPhone owner covered the gaps by holding the phone in a specific way, this is happening in the area where cell signal is weak.
