Saw this tips on the net:

Preview has an Import function that allows you to grab images from various sources. If you choose, in Preview, File > Import Image while your iPhone is plugged in, will open a new window with all of the photos on your iPhone camera roll. You can then select photos and choose Import and the photos will open in Preview, thus allowing you to save or export photos from your iPhone without using iPhoto or Image Capture.

not too sure if this is classified as tips and trick, but an own personal experiment of mine found that the keyboard addon (could be found in cydia as well) on 2.0.1 lags the ENTIRE system (for example sms, safari typing etc) considerably.


i have been using the MBA keyboard addon since 1.1.4 and there isn't any problem, but to my horror that for 2.0.1 it doesn't compute that way.


it is pretty simple to come out with a conclusion for 2.0.1. with the existence of winterboard, one can tick or un-tick the keyboard add-on and observe the vast lag time improvement.

Anyone here know how to copy contact from iPhone to Sim?? Any help would be very much appreciated !

you can't do that amigo (unless there is a new 3rd party app which i have not heard of before)

your best bet is to probably to use the nokia pcsuite to transfer from outlook (PC) to a nokia phone.

Found a solution from a webstie to disable the iphone backup function for both Windows and Mac.

Ever since version 1.0, the iPhone has automatically backed itself up every time an iTunes sync was started. The feature makes sense on a phone and has definitely saved my bacon quite a few times. However, with the iPhone 2.0 update, the backup feature has gotten arguably out of hand. Most users report obnoxiously long backup times which make it extremely frustrating to refresh your iPhone's information.
So if you're tired of automatic backups that take forever, here's how to disable them.

For Windows users:
First, grab a copy of NotePad++[U]. The standard apps that come with Windows won't work well for editing the iTunesPrefs.xml file.
To apply this hack, you'll be editing the iTunesPrefs.xml, which is generally found at C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes. You may need to enable hidden folders if you don't see the "Application Data" folder.

1) Quit iTunes

2) Make a backup of iTunesPrefs.xml. If you mess up, you'll wish you had a backup, so it's a good idea to make one.

3) Open iTunesPrefs.xml using Notepad++

4) Search for "User Preferences" without the quotes and you should find something like "<key>User Preferences</key>"

5) Right below the first <dict> that comes after "<key>User Preferences</key>", paste the following:

<key>AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled</key>
<data>
dHJ1ZQ==
</data>

Your results should look something like this:

Before


After


6) Save the file and open iTunes. If all went well, your iPhone will sync, but it won't back up. To back up manually, right click your iPhone in the source list and choose "Back Up".

For Mac Users
Things are a little easier here. :]

^hmm i thought by disable the features from itunes itself might prevent the backup process from running?

Why not just press Win+R, paste the following command and click OK?

Code:
"%CommonProgramFiles%\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\defaults.exe" write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true

That's exactly the same as Mac method, it works with any version of iTunes.

To undo, just replace true with false.
