How to #4: Calendar Year Becomes 2554 BE, not 2011

What has been experienced:  Suddenly in a day when checking the calender, you may note that the month and date are all correct, but the year become "2554 BE".  Very stronger, we know now it is 2011, and what we learned about the records of year are only two types: AD or BC.

What you can do to fix: Select Settings, then General, then International, and set the Calendar ti "Gregorian"

Why: The BE year is used by some countries who believe in Buddhist. For them, year 2011 = 2554 BE.

How to #3: Iphone Becomes Slower and Slower

What you experienced: Your iphone becomes slower and slower after certain time of use.

What you can do: Free some space in your iphone by deleting the old files, including movies, video clips, photos, songs, particularly movies and videos that occupy a large space in your phone.

Why: When less free space is left on your phone, the phone cannot work efficiently. If you need to keep a large number of files on your phone, better to buy one with large memories, such as those with 32G or 64G memories.

How to #2: 3G Function Does Not Work

What you experienced:  The 3G function stopped working for an iphone with 3G function. In this case, you may not be able to text, to surf the web or to get your email if you are away from home without a Wi-Fi connection.

What you can do: Turn your phone off, wait for 30 second to a minute, and then turn it on.

Why: Unless there are hardware problems, the 3G function stops work is most likely due to software problem, like a froze compute.  By turning off and turning on, you bring the phone back to its normal status.

How to #1: Very Large Font Preventing Iphone from Operation

What you experienced: The font (the size of a word) of the iphone becomes so big that is not possible to even touch or slide any icons.
What you can do: Use three figures to tap on the screen will bring back the normal screen.
Why it works?  Three-figure tapping will turn off the zoom function. If you accidentally turn on the zoom function, you may experience this problem.
