iPhone not charging? Check this quick fix.

HowTo, Mobile, , , , ,

The number of times your iPhone may not be charging due to it actually being faulty is fairly minimal, and more often than not, it’s the cable at fault and not the phone itself.

The iPhone 6 we have wasn’t charging and after checking the obvious we then hit Google. Some articles later, and we were lead to check if lint wasn’t to blame.

Sure enough, if you hit search you see the following results:

The essence of it is to make sure your iPhone is backed up, turn it off, and then use a normal toothpick to pick out any fluff and stuff that the Lightning port has attracted from your trouser pocket.  In our case this fixed the problem!

Better still, it cost nothing 🙂

Twitter – key to higher follower numbers?

Social Networking, Twitter, , , , , ,

Twitter LogoThe basic answer is that you have to engage with your audience. Think of Twitter as an extension to your presence in real life.

Talk about things you’re doing, hobbies, jobs, where you are can help by attracting followers from the areas you’re visiting – FourSquare can really help here – check it out!

You should start using ‘#’ tags – this enables your tweets to show up more easily in searches on Twitter. For example, if you’re looking for help fixing your broken Vauxhall motorcar you would add #Vauxhall to your tweet. Anyone then searching for this will see your tweet – and don’t be surprised if you have a Vauxhall dealership or mechanic somewhere reply!

And most importantly do engage – that is the key word. If you have a BlackBerry, iPhone, Android phone there are apps for Twitter available. Otherwise you can access the site at mobile.twitter.com (data charges will apply, so if you don’t want to be charged check with your mobile provider first!)

And post often!
