How to maximize standby time of an iOS device / iPhone.

After closing down an app, it stays active in the 'fast app' switcher which you can access by a double click on the home button. Some apps stay active there after being closed and continue to consume battery power; for example if they make use of the GPS function. By killing those apps after use, you significantly increase the standby time of your device. You can kill the app from the 'fast app' switcher by 'holding a touch' for a few seconds on the app-icon and select the minus button that appears.

 

Use your phones internet connection on your laptop for free

If you don't have a valid tethering configuration on your iPhone, you may think you cannot use your iPhone's 3G connection to browse the web on you Mac Book. With remote browsing you can browse the internet through your iPhone's 3G connection on your Mac Book. It works by installing the remote browsing server on your Mac Book and use the browser of your iPhone to connect to this server and do the same on the browser of your Mac Book. The remote browsing server is in alpha state, which means it's not fully ready yet. But the basic principle works good enough to give you a demonstration.

With Tethering you browse directly, as if your Mac Book is connected to the internet, with remote browsing you browse through the iPhone's browser. So it's indirect, which means you can only browse the web remotely and not use any other internet functionality, like FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
