Round Five of the 2011 eXceem "Pub" Quiz will be on Wednesday 16th November at 9.30pm GMT.

PLAY FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN AN iPod Shuffle! Details Here.

The eXceem "Pub" Quiz is OPEN TO ALL no matter how long you have been here, or how many questions you answer!

The way it works is simple.

- There will be 20 questions (unless I throw a few more in)
- I will create a separate thread along the lines of "eXceem Pub Quiz (No Discussion)" which will be used to post the questions in one at a time.
- To answer the question, send me a PM with Question Number as Subject title "1", "2", "3" etc.
- The first person to answer correctly gets 5 points, second will get 3 points, and the rest will get 2 point.
- In order for everybody to take part in this, the quiz questions will be left until the following evening to give everyone a shot at answering.

So, who is up for Round Five of the eXceem "Pub" Quiz?

Current top three:
1st: ndev2k = 227
2nd: ryan1087 = 184
3rd: xploit = 179

Hi Everyone,

Experiencing some technical issues. Should be sorted out soon.


Thanks

Don't get caught out... The clocks will go back by one hour at 2.00 am on Sunday 30 October. At 2.00 am, the clocks will return to 1.00 am as British Summer Time ends for another year.

Hi everyone,

All the issues of the past 2 or so weeks should be fixed now. Exceem has been down for the past hour or so for maintenance.
Thanks to everyone for being so patient and if there are any problems noticed then please email (webmaster@exceem.co.uk) or pm me. Also if you want live updates on server problems, news or anything else of importance then you can follow me on twitter @exceem

Thanks

Dear all,

All the issues over the past few days should be fixed now.

Hi everyone,

Please bear with us as we fix these minor issues and everything will soon be back to normal


thanks

Seb

Dear all,

Sorry about the recent downtime. Not sure exactly what it was and I am looking into it. Everything should be fine/fixed in the next day or two and will give an update then.

Thanks for being supportive

Thought I'd start this thread where everyone can post, or find out about, the handy tips they've discovered with the iOS 5.

I want to keep this track on topic and therefore tangents will be removed. Useful comments will be added to this post.

Here is a list of useful things I have found so far!

• Remove keyboard from Messages
  When the keyboard is visable making it hard to see the whole text message simply swipe the message down and the keyboard is hidden.
  
  
• Notifications
  Swipe down from the top to view notifications. See emails, Facebook messages, Texts... anything that notifies you!
  
  
• Reminders
  A great addition to the iPhone. Set it to remind you at a certain time OR at a certain location! So if you need to do something at work just set the location and it will remind you when you get there.
  
  
• Keyboard shortcuts
  Found in Settings>General>Keyboard - Add a text shortcut. For example I have set up "@@" to fill out my full email address.
  
  
• Remove notification widgets
  Who really wants to see the latest Stocks? Turn them off at Settings>Notifcations - Add apps/widgets or remove them.
  
  
• Customise "Vibrations"
  Choose from 5 different vibration rhythms or customise one. Found at Settings>Sounds>Vibration - you'll need to turn on custom vibrations first at Settings>General>Accessibility
  
  
• Customise Touch Controls
  Edit the touch controls at Settings>General>Accessibility to whatever you want them to be.
  
  
• LED flash for Alerts
  Again at Settings>General>Accessibility you can turn on the LED flash for Alerts.
  
  
• iTunes Wi-Fi Sync
  Wirelessly sync you iPhone with iTunes at Settings>General>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync
  
  
• "Tones"
  Finally you can edit tones! There's even a "Tone Store" via the iTunes Music app. Edit the tones at Settings>Sounds
  
  
• Microsoft Exchange email
  Add your outlook exchange account via the Mail option in Settings
  
  
• iCloud
  Configure the iCloud, what you can access or sync and what you can't at Settings>iCloud - You can even set up an @me email address (bare in mind once it's set you can't change it. I made that mistake!)
  
  
• Twitter
  Add 1 or more Twitter accounts enabling you to tweet anything from your phone. Sign in via Settings>Twitter then give it try! I tweeted a picture by just going to the photo, clicking the arrow and choose "tweet".
  
  
• Camera from Lock Screen
  When in the lock screen double tap the home button (as you would to play music) and click the photo icon. It even seems to load faster!
