So simply install a silent ringtone on your phone and select this sound for any application you want to have as vibrate only. Works like a charm!
I've been doing this for a long time. One of the best things to do.
When spam calls come in, and after I hang them up, go to records and put them in "Spam" I created in my Address Book. And set it "silence". You won't even know they called again.
Just picked up my first iPhone. Tip/trick I haven't seen posted here yet is if your feeling a little adventurous, hold the home button & press top/sleep button.
I don't know if everyone knows his but I only learnt this this weekend. When a message or notification comes through on the home screen all you have to do to get to the message is swipe the actual notification. I was doing it the long way and swiping the unlock screen and then going into the notification. My finance saw me doing this and showed me the much easier way.
If you want to use Siri to use Google Maps instead of the default Apple Maps, it seems there's a workaround. When making the request, add "via transit" to the phrase. For example, instead of saying "give me directions to the nearest Starbucks," say, "give me directions to the nearest Starbucks via transit." That will launch the transit menu, and from there, you can select Google Maps. It's a bit of a kludge, but it does work.
