AmazIng new discovery with iPad

Trying to mn under bed covers.
Screen kept switching views, so I googled it. Turns out there a side switch which you can either make for silent typing or to stop the views switching but sadly not for both. So stealth mning still a bit tricky.

Bet you are all enthralled with my amazing discovery.

You can turn the typing noise off in the settings > sounds > keyboard clicks > off Wink

My amazing iPad discovery came today after owning it for 6 months. Tap the time at the top of the screen and it automatically scrolls to the top of the page- genius!

OhYouGreatGreatBritain · 02/08/2012 23:42

Splendid thank you!! So as long as I don't suffocate under here I can mn as long as I like whilst dh gets his beauty sleep.

Wow Grannyrat- that's brilliant!
Ohyou I couldn't cope with typing noise so that's disabled anyway.

Wonder if there is anything to get to the bottom of the screen?

Did you know that if you "pull" the screen down at the top (where the time, battery and signal bar is) it brings down a screen with the weather, any missed calls, notifications, text messages etc.

Also double tap the button and delete your app history to unclog your phone and make it run faster.

OhYouGreatGreatBritain · 02/08/2012 23:52

Which button username?

Have you tried sweeping all your fingers over the screen to the left?

or

tapping the home button twice....

Press the home button and power button simultaneously to take a screen shot, saved in photos.

OhYouGreatGreatBritain it's the round home button.

VikingVagine · 03/08/2012 00:06

Four fingers left or right switches between apps.

Four fingers upwards gets the same as a double click on the button (apps dock).

OhYouGreatGreatBritain · 03/08/2012 00:09

Thanks user :)

That screenshot tip dotty is handy, as is the orientation trick as the side lock button is under my iPad cover

< goes up for air>

Are all those apps that I can sideswipe actually running at the same time?

OP posts:
VikingVagine · 03/08/2012 00:14

Yup, to close them hold you finger over one for a few secs then delete.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 03/08/2012 00:15

I don't have a padlock symbol. Sad

VikingVagine · 03/08/2012 00:17

It's a padlock or a speaker depending on your settings.

VikingVagine · 03/08/2012 00:17

Or example, I see a speaker because my slide switch is set to screen orientation lock.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 03/08/2012 00:18

But the side switch works, yay!

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 03/08/2012 00:18

Crossed Viking, but thanks!

nailak · 03/08/2012 00:20
