iPhone 4 Tips and tricks, getting the most out of

I am fairly good with technology and have an iPhone 4. I feel however that there's so much I'm not really getting out of it. I do not want to jailbreak it but some good advice, suggestions or whatever on how to get the most out of it would be great. Apps, settings and all of that. This is my 2nd 4.

No such way to get much more out of it without jailbreaking it.

What are you not getting out of it that you miss, or think you miss? At the end of the day, it is just a smartphone afterall.

I guess I should have used getting the most out of it instead of more. I am no where near the potential of this thing I don't think.

Jailbreaking is like the little pill in Limitless. You are only using a fraction of your phone without doing so.

I jailbroke mine and it was the best thing I've done with a phone. Since you don't want to do that. I would suggest a few (obvious) things.

-keep wi-fi and bluetooth off unless you need them
-keep the brightness down and turn off the auto-brightness
-sometimes a reboot will help if it gets sluggish
-if you need flash while browsing Skyfire is a decent alternative
-mapquest has a free turn-by-turn navigation app

A non-jailbroken iPhone is like a non-rooted Android phone.... Severely hobbled.

actually keeping wi-fi on will extend battery life since data over 3g uses more power.

Think he means to turn wi-fi off when you are not connected to any wi-fi.
