    Hello
    I have the iPhone 4 and I am a newbie in this, I wanted to know how I have to do to completely close an application and not stay open in the background because I suppose that will consume a lot of battery, I press the menu button to close them, I'm doing fine or not?
    Greetings, thanks

    Adri: to completely close an application, press the home button twice, when the open applications go down, it remains for 2 second 1 application pressed as when you are going to move them to change places, click on the sign - (minus) and it will close, click on the minus sign of all the applications you want to close when you finish press the home button again

    You close it correctly, according to Apple it does not consume more battery, but in my 3G at least the phone slows me down somewhat when I have many in the background.
    The only way to close them completely is to hit the home button twice so that the apps appear in the background, you press for a couple of seconds on any of them and so you can completely close the one you want.

    Hi there! I am new to this but I have an iPhone 3gs, my question is how can I put it
    my name where it says ATT.
    Is it worth disabling the 3g when it is not going to be used to save battery?
    TKS!

    not worth it luni
    the name with makeitmine (cydia)

    Luni: you have to have the Jailbreak, and download a program from Cydia called FakeCarrier, with it, you can put the name you want where the operator and the time appear.

    As for disabling 3G, yes, it saves battery, just like Wi-Fi and many other things, so if you don't use them, you can deactivate them (if you have Cydia, with SBSettings you will do it very quickly)

    For those who have a 3GS down, FREEMEMORY frees you up a lot of RAM and the device runs much more fluid. I already have a 4 and it frees me up to 352MB

    x Luni: Need to have Jailbreak, once like this, download an app called: makeitmine and the rest is very easy, follow the instructions and voila!

    Thank you very much Kun and Joker, I had all the applications open because since I bought the mobile on the 30th I had not closed any hehe.
    Thank you

    thanks for the open applications trick, I didn't know ... and neither did the text zoom ... I had seen the zoom but I didn't know what it was for, and that I spent a lot of work to move the 'cursor' to a character in specific!! so easy it is using the zoom !!! Thank you!!!

    Very new question: What is Cydia?
    Another thing, are there dangers in jailbreaking the phone? can it be blocked or something ?. In case of problems, can you go back and leave it as it was before?

    Thank you!

    There are dangers, it can be screwed up and it depends on the iPhone you have, it can be returned or not.
