How to Fix / Unfreeze your iPhone

I don’t know about you but, my iphone has froze up several times since i’ve bought it. It usually happens once I update my apps or add a new one and run it for the first time. I’ve been told to unfreeze it by holding the home button for 10 seconds and it will work… well It worked probably the first time but after that it didn’t do the trick for me. So now what I do is holding the sleep and home button down at the same time for about 5 – 10 seconds and then it restarts itself.

I haven’t tried this but over at CNET they mention the following… If you toggle the following two settings it can result in a reduction in or complete elimination of freezes:

  • Tap Settings on the home screen. Tap General. Tap Auto-Lock. Set to “Never.”
  • Tap Settings on the home screen. Tap Brightness. Turn Auto-Brightness off.

Like I said I haven’t tried the above two suggestions I only know that “holding the sleep and home button down at the same time” worked for me :)

500 Million Downloads at the iPhone App Store

Apple Apps

Well according to engadgetmobile.com which stats that after the launch of the Apple iPhone App store in July of ‘08 and hitting 100 million downloads in September, the iPhone App Store has just crossed the 500 million download mark and it only happened six months after the site / app store opening. Which I find simply amazing when you compare that to the iTunes Music Store, which apparently took two whole years to cross the 500 million mark. Ahhh the love of technology and it’s little gadgets. And in the mix of the iPhone Apps is my friends app which I mentioned a while back if you recall… Go! the Tetris style game for your iPhone.

Facebook App Request Overload

Facebook AppsIs it me or does everyone get crrrazy amounts of Facebook application request? If you check out the image within this post you’ll see that as of May 23rd. I have 8 Top Friend Request, 3 Top Friends Friend Request (WTF?), 1 Event Invitation (I removed a few of theses), and 282 Other Request. I found that some of theses Facebook applications are pretty cool and useful. However, When someone adds way too many to their profile it then starts to look like a poorly made Myspace page with all that 1996 glitter crap everywhere. I don’t know if there is a limit to the amount of Facebook applications people can add to their Facebook profiles… in my opinion there should be!

When it comes to the 282 application request there are a ton of them that I just sit back and scratch my head at. If you check out the list below you’ll see some of the requests I’ve received.

Amount Application Name
16 funwall friend requests
31 group invitations
12 be a billionaire! requests
10 buy your friends invitations
12 friends for sale invitations
2 hotties for sale invitations
3 the lotto invitations
5 friend fu*k invitation
5 sticker requests
5 social me requests
