Hi Sarah,

Apologies if this has already been answered, but I'm not subscribed to the
list at home. so am just seeing the weekend's emails now.

The screen curtain   can be turned on and off  with a  3 finger tripple
tap.

Regards.

Eamonn

iPhone 3GS so these instructions mightn't work for the newer versions of
the iPhone or some of the options might be in different places.  Also when
I install most apps I don't allow notifications as I find it drains the
battery as well but you can't use Viber with the notifications being on
which is really annoying as it is a brilliant app.

useage and stand by will be the same which shouldn't be the case.
