iPhone 4 for Dummies: Turn the iPhone to silent

The best way to turn your iPhone on silent is to using the Ring/Silent switch.  That's the switch on the far right of the picture on the right.



Undoubtly, we forget to turn our mobiles to silent sometimes.  When it does ring in a meeting, I am frantically finding a way silence it.

The good news is that if you were to press the volume buttons located on the side of the iPhone, the ringing stops.  However, you can't reject a call that way.

My preferred method is by pressing the physical ON/OFF button on the top right corner.

1st push of the ON/OFF button stops the ringing.

2nd push of the ON/OFF button will reject the call.

iPhone 4 for Dummies: Display numeric percentage % battery life

By default, your iPhone does not display the % (percentage) of battery charge remaining on your mobile.

To get this to display you just need to follow these 4 easy steps:

1) Click on the <Settings> icon

2) Select <General>

3) Select <Usage>

4) In the first row, you will see <Battery Percentage>, toggle this field to "ON".

That's it!  You should be able to see the % battery life left on the top right hand corner where the little battery icon is.
