★★★★★ “I am thrilled to have this tool. Thank you to the developers of Big Photo.” – HallYoung@Art, USA

“An undiscovered gem of utility” – http://www.lifeinlofi.com

★★★★★ “Great app that resizes photos to 200%+ their original size without ruining their quality. Resulting output is similar to that of resizing algorithms in Photoshop. I use this app daily and it always gives me what I want in a timely, stable manner. This app is truly a useful and prized tool in my arsenal of photo apps.” – M., U.S.A

★★★★★ “5 stars for ability to zoom in really close and crop a small portion of a photo in high quality and custom dimensions. The slow and clunky user interface has been fixed in the recent version. It is now a joy to use, and tremendously useful.” – Maria, Greece

★★★★★ “There are a number of creative apps that are really useful but lack decent resolution output. Big Photo does an excellent job or sampling up and making those other apps more creatively useful… For the iPhone camera output and other ordinary camera apps shooting at the standard 8 million pixels the software easily deals with scaling up with great results. A much needed tool for mobile art and photography. Highly recommend.” – Poetry, UK

1. Photo Selection Scroller

In “Menu Mode” – i.e. when the menu bar is showing,  swipe up/down/left/right, Photo Selection Bar will pull down or fade out.

This Photo Selection Bar is a horizontal scroller to show your Camera Roll or any currently selected photo album. You swipe left or right to scroll through your Camera Roll or any photo album. Tap on any photo icon to select for viewing or editing.

2.Take picture with Big Photo

Tap on Camera Icon, Camera will open for you to take a shot.

3. View pictures of ANY sizes with unlimited zoom

Common touch gestures support on big pictures and large images:

  • Pinch in/out to zoom in and out.
  • Press and Hold on spot,  you will zoom right into the spot with full resolution and 100% zoom.
  • Double tap on the picture, you will zoom right into the spot with full resolution and 100% zoom, or the picture will zoom out to a complete view fit on the screen.
  • Pan left, right, up, down to shift the view port of the picture.

Big Photo allows you to crop your big pictures in its original resolutions so your cropped pictures will keep much more pixels than you can get by cropping the downsized versions of the big pictures.

Big Photos Q/A & Support

Questions & Answers

  1. Question: I have trouble changing photos or accessing the menu.  Answer: If your image is full screen mode, double tap it, you will see all menu items. On iPad, you can either swipe to show/hide the sliding photo picker, and pick a photo, or tap “Photo” on the bottom. On iPhone, you may tap the “Photo”. There is a menu switcher – the left side on bottom menu bar.

  2. Question: how do I “Open in Big Photo…” from email? Answer: if you are using the iOS email app, you may press & hold the image attachment, from the pop, you can select “Open in Big Photo” or tap on “…More” to turn on “Open in Big Photo”
  3. Question: I want to use Big Photo to change dpi from 72 to 300 for printing. When I try to do this the size of the file in megabytes reduces dramatically from say 2mb to 800kb. How can I maintain full resolution as I am merely rearranging the pixels not deleting or adding them. Thanks. Answer: In Resize menu, you do not change any size or scale, just change to DPI to your desired number, then click “Resize” to generate a new picture which has different DPI & the rest is the same.
  4. Question:  I cannot save edited image right on my iPad. Answer:  In case you disabled access to your photos, you may go to iOS Settings, choose “Privacy”, choose “Photos”, turn on “Big Photo” switch. In Big Photo, you may tap “Save Photo” or the red ball badge.

User Agent for Web Explorer

In the world of web browsers, “User Agent” is used to identify the web browser, i.e. browser engine, version, running OS, device types etc.

When a website receives web page request from a web browser, it may send back different content for different web browsers. For example, http://www.yahoo.com will return at least three different home web pages for mobile Safari running on iPhone, mobile Safari running on iPad, and desktop Safari running Mac. The reason, it will be presented on different devices for best layout and viewing experiences. Another reason, mobile Safari does not support Adobe Flash, but desktop Safari does. But mobile Safari can play HTML 5 videos, so the web site will send a customized content to mobile Safari. Because the screen sizes of iPhone and iPad are different, Yahoo will send different versions of its home page to iPhone users and iPad users. When your browser requests a web page, it will send a “User Agent” string to the web sites to give the browser information. Based on your browser’s User Agent string, web sites will know what kind of browser you are using, then best version of the requested web page will be sent back to your browser.

How about if you want to view desktop version of Yahoo home page on your iPhone?

“Web Explorer” supports “User Agent” setting, so you can set it to pretend it is like a desktop Safari. To do this, you tap on “…”
iOS Simulator Screen shot Jan 18, 2013 5.20.35 PM

Then tap “Set”.

Normally you should set it back to “Default User Agent” in case you experience any problems. Because “Web Explorer” is a mobile browser based mobile “Safari” engine. It does not support some desktop Safari functions.

How to find my iPhone IP address

What is IP address: An IP address is a unique numerical identifier that tells your computer/smart device where other computers/smart devices are located on the network, and vise versa. IP address appear in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, though each grouping can be as short as a single digit.

Where to look up my iPhone IP address: The iPhone is a multifunctional smart phone device that, in addition to making phone calls, allows users to browse the Internet, send email, download applications, listen to music and take pictures. When connected to the Internet, the iPhone is assigned an Internet Protocol, or IP, address. An IP address is used to identify different machines that are connected to a network. You can find the IP address on your iPhone by examining the “Settings” menu:

  • Tap the “Wi-Fi” option in the “Settings” menu. Note that your iPhone must be connected to the Internet to have an IP address. If you are not connected to the Internet, tap one of the available networks listed under “Choose a Network” and connect to it.
  • Click the blue arrow icon adjacent to the name of the network your iPhone is connected to. Your IP address is shown as the first item in the list.

With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) tab, you might see a list like (as an example, yours may be different):

  • IP Address                      192.168.0.104
  • Subnet Mask                  255.255.255.0
  • Router                             192.168.0.1
  • DNS                                  192.168.0.1
  • Search Domains
  • Client ID

Here 192.168.0.104 is the example IP address.

How to fix iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 battery issue?

Recently some iPhone 4S users, and some iPhone 4 users who upgraded to iOS 5, experienced terrible battery drain. The causes of the battery drain may be different for different cases. Here is what I experienced.

My wife has an iPhone 4 bought August 2011. Recently my daughter upgraded my wife’s iPhone 4 with iOS 5 to use iTunes Match feature. I don’t remember since when, my wife started crying for the battery drain.
We try various adjustments to the settings and can not figure out why. Accidentally, I noticed her phone is doing the iTunes WiFi Sync when we come back home from outside. So I stop the auto sync feature. Since then, every full charge will work for a long time.

By the way, my iPhone 4S always works great!

Hope this may be helpful to you.

How many iPhones did Sprint activate in December 2011 quarter?

Apple Reports First Quarter Results
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/24Apple-Reports-First-Quarter-Results.html
Information highlights:
The Company sold 37.04 million iPhones in the quarter.
International sales accounted for 58 percent of the quarter’s revenue.

Let start with the guess work:
1. Assume total domestic iPhone sales are 42% of total iPhone sales:
Total domestic iPhone sales = 0.42×37.04M = 15.56M
2. AT&T sold 7.6M
3. Verizon 4.2M

Therefore, Sprint and the other US carriers sold:
15.55M-11.8M = 3.75M

Since Sprint is the only major carrier other than AT&T and Verizon,
we can safely assume:
Sprint sold 3.75Mx0.75 = 2.81M
Minus or plus 0.5M

Therefore, Sprint should activate about 2.8M-3.0M iPhones in December quarter of 2011.
