Hi, Sounds like a restart of both devices is in order: Do a "hard reset" on the phone (hold down both power and home keys for ten seconds and let go); this should restart the services controlling Bluetooth connections. While the phone is restarting, do a warm reset on the Apex. I think an FAQ or an article entry detailing user considerations for using Apex with iDevices as a braille display is in order.

Ok. I did that and it did not work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Lee" <[email protected] To: "'Jessica Brown'" <[email protected]>,"'Alex Hall'" <[email protected] Date sent: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 16:13:40 -0700 Subject: RE: [Braillenote] iPhone and Apex problem Hi, In this case, turn off Bluetoth on both devices. Then turn Bluetooth on on bott, with Apex first followed by iPhone. Then, instead of searching the Apex from the bluetooth window, search the Apex from VoiceOver settings under Braille page.

I did tell the iPhone to forget the Apex. That is why I said it was not in the list of bluetooth devices. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Hall <[email protected] To: Jessica Brown <[email protected] Date sent: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 18:59:11 -0400 Subject: Re: [Braillenote] iPhone and Apex problem Are you on ks9.1? I'm on 9.2 and that file is nowhere to be found. So, now that that's working, have you told the iPhone to forget the apex and restarted the phone?

My apex did go back to being called apex and then the 6 numbers when I rebuilt the dictionaries folder. I checked that to. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Hall <[email protected] To: Jessica Brown <[email protected] Date sent: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 18:47:24 -0400 Subject: Re: [Braillenote] iPhone and Apex problem That's because dev_name.sys no longer lives in the dictionaries folder. In fact, I can't find it anywhere. What is your apex's current name, and did you try manually typing in the default name? On 7/23/12, Jessica Brown <[email protected]> wrote: Ok. I renamed the Apex back to the default format by deleting the dictionaries folder and then pressing reset. The Apex still will not show up on the iPhone as a braille display. The apex is not in the iPhone's list of blue tooth devices either. ----- Original Message ----- From: josh gregory <[email protected] To: Alex Hall <[email protected] Date sent: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 18:21:51 -0400 Subject: Re: [Braillenote] iPhone and Apex problem If you want iPhone functionality, as I suspect you do, as Alex and others have said, you'll have to rename it to default format. On 7/23/12, Alex Hall <[email protected]> wrote: It's one or the other: you keep the default apex name and use it with the iPhone, or you give the apex a new name and all iPhone compatibility goes away. The iPhone is looking for that pattern (APEX######) when it tries to locate a braille device, so renaming the apex means the iPhone will ignore the apex as its name fails the test.

That is why I did the 4-5-6 reset on the apex and told the iPhone to forget the Apex and did a reset all settings on the iPhone so that I could start the paring again from scratch. However, The iPhone still does not see the Apex as the new name I gave it. It actually is not picking it up at all. One other thing I forgot to say. I also have renamed my iPhone but I did that before all the resets. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Hall <[email protected] To: Jessica Brown <[email protected] Date sent: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:02:38 -0400 Subject: Re: [Braillenote] iPhone and Apex problem What is the apex name? That reset may not have done the trick. You cam check this from the setup options in connectivity. If it is not back to the default, you can rename it back manually. All you need is the word APEX, all caps, then six digits. For instance: APEX001235 On 7/23/12, Jessica Brown <[email protected]> wrote: I renamed my apex.
