How to Wake the iPhone Without Taking It Out of Your Pocket

iPhone and CordThis may be an obvious tip to most iPhone users, but it took me a while to discover. When listening to music, have you ever paused the iPhone only to have it go to sleep in your pocket, leaving you unable to restart the music with the button on your headphones’ cord?There’s no need to take the iPhone out of your pocket, double-click, and press the start button. Simply reach your hand into your pocket and push the button on the top of the iPhone. This wakes the phone. You can do this blind without taking the iPhone out of your pocket. Now simply push the button on the earphones’ cord, and your music will start again.

I’m adding a batch of iPhone-optimized games to the World of iPhone Links and the iPhone Games pages. Any sites with webclip icons are shown with the icons next to the name. Enjoy!
