Did you know that everytime you send iPhone photos via email, the iPhone automatically crunches those photos down to 800×600. Thats not very good if you want to take a printout or store full 2048×1526 size on your laptop for future reference. Yes iPhone saves every photo you click at this very resolution 2048×1526 :).

Now; how would you send a 2048×1526 picture from iPhone? Here is a simple trick shared by DaringFireball’s John Gruber:

Good tip: If you use copy-and-paste instead of the “Email Photo” button in the Camera app, you can email the full-resolution version of the photo.

So instead of going to iPhone’s camera roll and selecting multiple photos, then tapping send email, you got to tap copy button > close the camera roll app > open Email app > launch a new mail window > then hit paste in the body area :)). SIMPLE.

You will then be able to send full res 2048×1526 sized photos. Thanks DaringFireball for sharing this cool tip

I am sure most of us use Google calendar. And if you are also an iPhone addict, you got to check this cool calendar feature that has come with 3.0 OS. iPhone calendar now supports CalDAV with SSL and this enables you to sync Google calendar with iPhone or iPod Touch. Want to thank iPhonedownloadblog for this tip:

Here is how to set up your iPhone or iPod Touch to sync calendars with Google over the air:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CalDAV Account
2. For the CalDAV settings, enter the above information: Server - www.google.com; User Name - your gmail username; Password - ***. Note that your username should be the email address you use to access your Google calendar as well as the password.
3. Then tap “Next” and it should verify your information.
4. If you can’t get your account verified, tap “Advanced settings” and make sure that “Use SSL” is On, that the port is 443, and that your Account URL includes the sign “@” in your email address.
5. You are done.

iPhone battery would last over a day or two, if you take some simple measures while using your iPhone. Found this interesting post on CNET. Let me pull it up. For a detailed instructions, please click here:

• Reset iPhone - Hold down the home and sleep buttons simultaneously until you see the white Apple logo indicating that your iPhone has restarted.
• Restore with original settings - Restore your iPhone by launching iTunes and selecting the Restore option on your iPhone’s Summary page.
• Drain the battery completely - Instead of charging it midway through a battery drain, add more juice only after the battery dies completel.
• Force quit applications - If an application quits unexpectedly and you begin to notice poor battery life, relaunch the application, then force quit it by following the directions in this post.
• Lock your iPhone - Make sure that your iPhone goes to sleep automatically when not in use.
• Applications with Push Notifications - Few apps use location services and push notifications. You can turn off Location Services in Settings > General menu. You’ll have to deactivate Push Notifications for each app individually, also in the Setting menu.
• Push notifications for e-mail - Turn this option off in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data before restarting your iPhone.
• Checking fewer e-mail accounts - Deleting e-mail accounts or turning them off can preserve battery life as well.
• Airplane mode - Since constantly seeking a cellular connection also drains the iPhone’s battery, the airplane mode is useful if you’re in an area with poor cellular coverage.
• Reset network settings - Restarting your phone will delete any stored Wi-Fi passwords, DNS settings, and more.
• Turn off Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth - Be sure to turn off these features when not in use.
• Turn off 3G - The iPhone’s 3G radio consumes a lot of juice so turning if off will save power.
• Adjust brightness - Dimming the screen definitely can extend battery life. Turning off the Auto-Brightness settings also will help.
• Turn off the equalizer - Just like on the iPod, this feature can reduce battery life. Select Flat.

Apple released a new support document detailing the basics of Apple’s Push Notification Service in iPhone OS 3.0. If you are not able to find Push Notification option in your iPhone Settings, it means that you havent downloaded any app that has push notification feature. You can download AP Mobile app to test this feature. Its pretty sleek.

According to Apple’s support document:

• If you don’t have an option for Notifications in the Settings menu, then you don’t have an app installed that supports notifications.
• An app needs to be used at least once before it will receive any notifications.
• The iPod Touch can receive notifications any time when the screen is on and Wi-Fi is connected. If the screen is asleep the iPod Touch will check every 15 minutes for a notification.
• You can disable notifications for an app in the Settings menu
• If you restore a backup to your iPhone or iPod Touch you’ll need to use an app at least once to get notifications again.
