FWA of the Week

Posted in FWA!, iPh♥ne by Daft*Diamond on May 12, 2009

So, in my previous entry I talked about an iPhone application, FWAPhoto, which basically showcases a new picture daily. To further entice you guys to download this application if you haven’t, I’ve decided to compile my favourites of the week to share with you guys.

From top to bottom:

  • 9th May – Mr. Kold
  • 7th May -Up
  • 11th May – Susie and Friends

I really enjoy opening up the application daily to see what surprise lies in store for me. And some of them really intrigue me. I think I’ll make this compilation a weekly thing. Pictures will be kept small so that those interested will go download the app to show your support. It’s free btw :)

One Photo a Day

Posted in Applications, Freebies, Review, iPh♥ne by Daft*Diamond on May 4, 2009

For all iPhone users out there, is there an app. that is not magnificently captivating that demands your constant attention such as Twitter/Facebook, yet is a “silent” staple?

I have one.

It’s the FWAPhoto application. In a nutshell, it’s just an application that updates with a new photo everyday.

I can see that much effort has been awarded to this application, in terms of presentation. It has a black theme, with a kind of futuristic touch to it. It begins with the application title as seen above, and then a countdown of numbers to today’s date. It happens to be my favourite part of this app other than the pictures themselves. On restless days, seeing the numbers flicker and change, makes me slightly happy.

In terms of content, I think that the pictures updated have incredible quality. I lo♥e the concepts. There is a large variety of perspective probably due to the different contributors each time. Overall, it is always refreshing and for aspiring photographers, it provides new ways of capturing and portrayal of ideas.

My word for this will be: refreshing!

Insert symbols on your iPh♥ne

Posted in iPh♥ne by Daft*Diamond on April 27, 2009

Have you ever wondered how to insert certain symbols on your iPh♥ne?

I certainly have! Especially this one, ♥ ! I thought it was impossible seeing how the iPh♥ne has no additional function to pull an additional keyboard up, or an insert symbol function like Windows.

BUT

I’ve found a solution!


  1. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard
  2. Activate the Japanese Keyboard by selecting International Keyboards > Japanese > Kana (ON)
  3. When typing an sms/email, and you want to insert a symbol, activate the Kana keyboard by pressing the Globe next to the Spacebar.
  4. Hit the 2nd button from the bottom left and it should switch from ABC > *123 > a Japanese combination of words, leave it at the Jap. combi of words
  5. Press any button and a row of symbols will appear, press the → on the white row of symbols that appear and you will see all the symbols under that number
  6. To switch back to the normal keyboard, tap the Globe at the bottom left corner


For example, to insert a ♥, double click ‘1′, or do step 5 from above and it’s there. There are many other symbols including stars, and even a snowman. That simple!

I hope this helps anyone out there, and if there are any questions, leave me a comment!
