Did your iPhone camera quit working? When you snap a few pictures and enter the iPhone camera roll, are you seeing BLANK WHITE THUMBNAILS that crashes the app when you touch one to view? This problem has happened to me more than once and luckily, there is a quick solution. It involves backing up your iPhone and then restoring from the backup after we remove a problematic file from your hard drive. Ready? Let's fix your iPhone camera. First, sync your iPhone with your computer so iTunes makes an automatic backup.

If you are in Windows, go to: "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" or if you are on a Mac go to "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup" and delete the file entitled "f1b43d3b3ecf259a3626c13a8b0cebd8ba513117.mdbackup" and then go back into iTunes and restore your iPhone and recover from the backup. Your camera can now take pictures again!

The new iPhone 3G is coming out July 11, as reported by Apple. Expect to pay more to access the faster bandwidth provided by AT&T's 3G network. Consumer level iPhone users will pay $30 for unlimited data and enterprise level iPhones will cost $45 for unlimited 3G data network access. The 3G network will offer significantly faster download times, up to 2.4 times faster data transfer rates than the Edge network.

AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots are offering iPhone owners free access to the high speed internet that is currently being offered at Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, McDonalds and other locations nationwide! When you are in the vicinity of an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot you can access the network by logging in with your iPhone number by tapping on Safari and surfing to any webpage. During the http query the iPhone will be detected by AT&T's user agent which allows access after you enter your iPhone's number.

Looking for a quick, easy way to check your remaining minutes on your iPhone? Dial *646# from the phone's keypad and tap the Create New Contact button in the lower left hand corner of the screen. There is a picture of a silhouette of a head and shoulders next to a plus sign on the Create New Contact button. Next, name the new contact 'AT&T Minutes' and save your new contact. Open up your Contacts list and tap on your 'AT&T Minutes' contact, followed by 'Add to Favorites'. Your new 'AT&T Minutes' contact will be listed in your iPhone Favorites list and now checking your minutes is a quick, easy, fairly painless process - without having to go the conventional route, which also works to check your minutes as well: Settings, Phone, AT&T Services and then View My Minutes. This shortcut can help save you money by helping you keep track of how many minutes you have used this month talking on your iPhone. Saving money is easy when you are not going over your rate plan's AT&T wireless minutes for the month!

You can type much more efficiently on the iPhone keyboard if you keep this simple tip in mind. When you touch the iPhone's keyboard you can see the character, letter or number you touch becomes magnified (unless you have extremely long nails). If you touch the wrong character just leave your finger on the iPhone screen and *MOVE IT AROUND* until you get to the right character and then take your finger off of the screen. Easy as pie! In the long run, you will get used to it and above all it will save you time from having to backspace and then re-type the correct character, letter or number. Happy typing! :)

The verdict is in and the Apple software update 1.1.3 is awesome! You will need the official software update from Apple to re-arrange your icons... Just touch and one of the icons on the home page and you will start to see them wiggle. When they start wiggling your icons can be re-arranged by touching them and then letting go when you've found a spot you like.

This procedure allows your iPhone to ring for longer or shorter periods than the default setting of 20 seconds. *** Attempt at your own risk but if you pay attention to the keys you input and follow the directions you should have no problems.

1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Call

The screen will display:

Setting Interrogation Succeeded
Voice Call Forwarding
When Unanswered
Forwards to +1xxxYYYzzzz
Enabled

2. Write down the xxxYYYzzz number (including +1) - this is the number to your voicemail.

3. In order to make the + appear on the keypad in the next step you'll have to hold Zero down for a few seconds, then it will become a Plus (+). Dial **61*+1xxxYYYzzzz**30# and hit Call. +1xxxYYYzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum.

4. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.

5. Verify working voice mail.

If you find you or your contacts are not being forwarded to your voice mail you have incorrectly altered your voice mail forward number.

To find out what it is and try again:

Dial ##002# and send. This will reset that forward number to factory defaults.

By then Dialing *#61# you will again display the your current (default) voice mail forwarding number.

Return to step [2] and continue.

*** Use this tutorial at your own risk ***...and if you have the time you can always give AT&T a call to have them change the number of rings on an incoming call before Visual Voicemail kicks in. I was able to quickly change the duration on my own, using these diagnostic iPhone GSM codes. The default time duration before Visual Voicemail intercepts the call is set by AT&T to 20 seconds. You will be able to add another 10 seconds yourself, but if you want your callers to wait more than 30 seconds before voicemail picks up then you'll need to contact AT&T technical support - they can change the duration to 45 seconds upon request...

I am going to try to explain how you *CAN* send MMS picture messages with iPhone. Simply select the photo you want to send in your iPhone's camera roll and address it to your recipient's 10 digit wireless number followed by the MMS server for their wireless provider. Example: Send the photo via email to 1234567890@mmsserveraddressgoeshere.com.

For example, if your intended recipient is a Verizon Wireless customer you would email the pictures to 8885551212@vzwpix.com. This is the email address for your recipient's Verizon Wireless phone. An easy way to obtain all of the email addresses for your friends' and family member's phones is to setup your email on your iPhone and have your friends and family send you a picture message first - not to your wireless number - but to the email address you've already configured on your iPhone. When you get their email, you'll notice that it is sent from the email address for THEIR phone. Just tap the blue circle with the white plus inside of it next to sender's email address and save that email address to the subsequent contact in your iPhone.

You can use the list below to find the corresponding MMS server for your intended recipient’s wireless provider and append the MMS server behind the @ symbol following their wireless number (example: Sending a photograph via email to 8005551212@mms.att.net would work for a friend who does not have an iPhone but has wireless service provided by AT&T or Cingular)
