I just bought me an IPad 3rd generation! I love this thing, but I have a
couple a questions that are presenting me with a slight bit of trouble.
I always use the device in portret mode where by the lock sleep/power button
is on the top right edge rim, then my volume buttons, and mute/lock rotation
switch is on the the right hand side, with my home key in the bottom center.
What I am noticing, and I don't know if this is because I have more screen
realistate than on the IPhone 4S, but if I hit an ajuster slider, say a
volume control, or a combo box on a web page, etc. basically just an
ajuster, if I 1 finger flick down, usually not always, but usually, it
works, but one finger flicking up to increment the ajuster is not working.
I wind up moving my Voiceover cursor focus away from the ajuster, and God
knows where. A perfect example a this was in settings/brightness and
wallpaper. I tried to turn the screen brightness up, as it was only at 30
something percent, and seeing I have some vision, light, and color, I wanted
it as bright as it could go. I could move it down, but trying to move it up
to 100% wouldn't work. It kept jumping to other things on the screen. It's
almost like, when I put my finger on the screen, it's taking that initial
contact on the screen as a one finger tap, which of course moves my focus.
I then had to flick back to the slider, and try all over again.
I noticed if I put it in landscape mode, which I don't prefer, with the home
key facing to the right, then try it, it works very consistently both up and
down. Yes, I am on I O S 6. The person who I bought this thing from had
already updated it before she gave it to me.
The other final question I have is dealing with the contacts app. I see the
list of contacts, and I do! understand the concept that on an IPad, unlike
an IPod or IPhone, the screen is in a 2way split. You have your main
options going virtically down the left and then as you double tap them, the
right portion reexpands with the appropriate content. OK, I get that
entirely, but what I am not quite seeing is why, I finally found the contact
table index ajuster which looks like they've moved from the far right side
to the far left side of the screen. Anyway, I flicked down to B. I then
was looking for the last name Bloomgren. I kept seeing things though like
Amazon, or maybe Christy Meador, etc. it's almost like it's skipping some
of my contacts. Do they not all go down the left hand side of the screen?
Or, are the list of contacts in two different collumns, not one like on the
IPhone. I think that's what is confusing me, more than anything. I don't
understand the concept of how the contacts are arranged.
Any help is appreciated.
Chris.
