iPhone: Assistive Touch

Hi,

Currently my iPhone4 home button does not working properly. To solve this problem, I activate Assistive Touch that come with IOS 6. I'm not sure if you can activate Assisstive touch if you use jailbreak because now I don't use jailbreak anymore :)

Source from here

This is how Assistive Touch look like. The home button appear at the screen and you can use it like your physical home button. Don't worry, the Assistive Touch screen is not that big all the time. When you are not using it, only one icon (its transparent like the above image) like the 'Gestures' will appear on your screen. The icon can be move around on your screen anytime you like. Once you touch the icon, the screen for Home Button will appear.

Follow below step if you want to activate the Assistive Touch.

1. Go to Setting and choose General



2. Choose Accessibility

 3. Choose Assistive Touch



4. Activate Assistive Touch

I love Assistive Touch because it provide a simpler screen capture function. Read my previous posting about screen capture here and here. From the Assistive Touch (Refer first image), just touch 'Device', 'More' and choose 'Screenshot'. It's so easy and very responsive :) I loike!

Hope this tutorial will help you if you are facing the same problem with me. No, I'm not changing my phone to iPhone5 since I'm not a GEEK :) The phone still in a great condition and I love it so much.

See you next time

Update on How To Screen Capture Your iPhone

Hi,

Referring to the previous post here on steps to screenshot our phone screen, I think that it's not easy to use Home Button. Home Button standard instruction is to go to 'Home'. It seem that there is a conflict when we add function to screenshot our phone screen by using Home Button.

After some research, I found that actually there is a standard 'Take Screenshot' available in 'Activator', one of Jailbreak iPhone applications. It's more easy with 'Take Screenshot' if compared with the previous 'Home Button' setting.

Steps to activate 'Take Screenshot' as following:

1. Choose Activator

2. Choose Anywhere

3. Choose Two Finger Slide In Gesture. There is another option but I prefer this one since I've never set any Two Finger instruction for my phone. So it less confusing and easy to remember.

4. Choose your gesture preferences. I like From Screen Top :)

5. Select Take Screenshot and it is done :)

As mentioned previously, this way of capturing our screen is much more easier :) Hope that this posting helpful for you :D

Simple Design with Microsoft Power Point

Hello,

Today I wanted to share with you guys on how to design simple patterned using Microsoft Power Point. I'm using Microsoft Power Point 2007 which is lesser feature compared to Microsoft Power Point 2010 especially on shapes and colours.

This pattern is currently what I did for the tutorial.

Step by step on how to do this pattern.

1. Open you power point and choose a blank page.

2. Go to menu Insert. Choose Shapes and select Cross under Basic Shapes.

3. Arrange the shapes accordingly like image below. Make sure you utilize the whole page even if it will go beyond the page sizes.

4. Save the Power Point as your master copy.

5. Save again as picture by selecting document type either .jpeg or .gif.

6. Open the picture using Microsoft Office Picture Manager. You'll see that all the image outside Power Point ranges has not included in the picture (auto-crop).

7. Crop the picture accordingly.

8. Tadaaaa.... you now have your own pattern. :D

This pattern can be used in many way such like this gift tag.

It's easy right? Without using all the fancy and complicated software available in the market, you can design and create your own pattern.

Enjoy!
