Re: Huawei came really close to selling as many phones as Apple - CNET

[Scott Granados]

Remember in terms of numbers Android smashes apple.  Apple wins on other 
factors but raw numbers ain’t one.

There’s a lot more phones in the wild from these guys than Apple and still more 
parts.  They also make the cellular equipment for the towers and some 
aggregation points.

The Nexus 6P was a very good phone and the other stuff they make is very good.  
Huawei will be a top tear player in the US very soon if they already aren’t.  
Between them and Ericson they have the cellular equipment locked up as well.  
Don’t underestimate Huawei that’s a very big company with a focus on our Market.

 Huawei came really close to selling as many phones as Apple - CNET
  Huawei's phone sales rose 20 percent year over year in the second quarter.
 César Salza/CNET
 The gap in global phone sales between Apple and Huawei is smaller than 
 ever.
 Apple, the world's No. 2 phone seller by volume, sold 41 million iPhones in
 the second quarter. Huawei, the No. 3 global phone brand thanks to its
 popularity in China and Europe, sold 38.5 million phones during the same
 period, Counterpoint Research said Tuesday.
 Huawei's numbers are up 20 percent from the same quarter last year, while
 Apple's year-on-year growth was 2 percent. Of course, the Cupertino,
 California-based company has little to worry about. Though it sells fewer
 phones than Samsung and may eventually fall behind Huawei, it has always
 topped profit share. In 2016, Apple accounted for just under 80 percent of
 all smartphone profits.
 "Apple is the most profitable smartphone brand on the planet with highest
 brand equity, however, it is in a conundrum," Counterpoint's Neil Shah told
 CNET. Apple is losing ground in China, while brands like Huawei and Oppo 
 are
 becoming more popular. "Apple has been losing revenues in China since (the
 2014) iPhone 6 (and) 6Plus launch, which was the peak for Apple in China,"
 he said.
 Oppo and Xiaomi, two other Chinese phone giants, also grew considerably. 
 The
 former sold 30.5 million phones in the second quarter, a 33 percent rise,
 while the latter's 23.3 million was a 60 percent increase over the prior
 year.
 Samsung is still king though, with 80.4 million in phone sales in the
 quarter. LG, its South Korean competitor, sold 13.3 million phones, 600,000
 fewer than in the same quarter last year.

I'm sure Hershey and Godiva share some ingredients but there is a reason 
people pay more for one than the other. Once you get beyond CPU speeds 
and display types, the end user experience is king. Of course I've never 
really met a chocolate I didn't like.

focus jumping while typing

[Gabe Griffith]

Hi all,

It seems like in the last few weeks I have started having an issue where my 
focus jumps around in my document or email while I am typing. I will be happily 
typing along and all of a sudden my focus will be at the beginning of my line 
paragraph or document. When typing this email for example I all of a sudden had 
VO telling me no links when I typed an l on something and have had to relocate 
my place several times.

Has anyone else ever had this happen or have any ideas what could be causing 
it? At first I thought it might be app specific or that I was hitting the 
touchpad but it's happened to me in mail, text edit and pages.

I am using a 2011 macbook pro with Sierra 10.12.5 and 16 gigs of ram.
 
If anyone has any assistance to offer I would greatly appreciate it. It is very 
annoying to have to stop and find my location every word and a half while 
typing.

Thank you,

Gabe

Seeking Suggestions for a good iOS Package Tracking App

[M. Taylor]

Hello All,

I would appreciate any suggestions you may have for a good iOS package
tracking app that can track UPS, USPS, FedEX, etc.  I would like the app to
offer push notifications so I can tell when the package reaches various
stages in the shipping process.  The app can either be free or paid, it does
not matter as long as it is VoiceOver accessible and easy-to-use.

Thank you,

Mark

Re: Bootcamp vs VM fusion?

[Scott Granados]

So I have used both, fusion is a better solution.

Bootcamp has the advantage of running natively so probably faster than in a VM 
but that’s about it for advantages.  You can’t use it as the same time as OS X, 
the drive / boot loader selection screen is not accessible although very 
memorizable, the OS X side needs to read NTFS to gain access to the volume and 
you can’t easily move images around.

Advantages of fusion are you can easily backup images, copy them from machine 
to machine, run them at the same time as OS X and the easy installer with 
fusion makes windows so easy to install with out site assistance.  In my 
opinion bootcamp has little value.  If you want to run windows get a windows 
machine.:)

Bootcamp vs VM fusion?

So, I have used fusion in the past, but never fusion.  Someone asked me witch 
is better, but since I have never given bootcamp a spin, I can’t answer that.  
So, anybody tried both, what is the advantages and disadvantages?  Except with 
fusion I know you can run both systems at once, so besides that?  Personally, I

Looking for a new phone this summer? Wait. USA Today

[M. Taylor]

Looking for a new phone this summer? Wait. 
By Eli Blumenthal , USA TODAY 
Students look at an iPhone at the Apple Store in the Taipei 101 skyscraper
in Taipei, Taiwan. (Photo: David Chang, EPA) NEW YORK ' With summer and
back-to-school sales fully underway, you may be tempted to by some of the
deals buy a new phone. Wireless carriers, electronic retailers'and phone
makers have come out with various promotions to lure summer shoppers,
offering heavy discounts and buy-one-get-one-free deals. While on the
surface they seem great,'don't be fooled. With the new Galaxy Note 8 set to
be announced later this month and potentially three new iPhones on tap for
September , now is probably the worst time of the year to buy a new phone.
'It is a terrible time to buy a new phone when you know new options are
being brought to the table in a month,' says Avi Greengart, research
director for platforms and devices at market researcher GlobalData. "Even if
you have no desire to buy a new iPhone, there are also new Android phones
coming," says Greengart. In addition to the aforementioned new Galaxy Note
and iPhones, rumors strongly suggest LG and Google are planning new devices
for the fall. Then'there are the price drops that follow new releases,
creating a better deal for those who don't want or need'the latest and
greatest. If history is any indication, many of today's'top phones will see
their prices lowered when these new big name devices come out. In the case
of the iPhone, last year's iPhone 7 would presumably drop to the cost of the
iPhone 6S, allowing you to get a better deal on what is arguably a better
phone (missing headphone jack notwithstanding). And the price drops and
promotions are bound to happen regardless on if you are on Team iPhone or
Team Android. As with recent years,'the promos are expected to be
particularly strong around the launch of the new iPhone, which Apple has
historically'announced during the first few weeks of September. The Galaxy
S8, Greengart notes, may be one such device that will see better deals as
carriers and Samsung may look to "raise the profile of a phone that was
launched several months ago that is still quite spectacular. Other
impressive Android phones, such as the HTC U11, may also see better deals
available as the marketplace refreshes. If you are specifically looking to
buy an iPhone 'you have to hold tight,' says Roger Entner, an analyst at
Recon Analytics. What about those with a busted phone that needs to be
replaced as soon as possible? "Get a refurbished phone," says Entner, "with
the expectation that you would probably lose $100 when you trade it in
again" for the new device. A refurbished 16GB'iPhone 6S phone generally
ranges between $319 at Best Buy and Gazelle to $449 directly from Apple,
with other options available from Amazon, eBay and others. Older models are
even cheaper. You may not even lose that much money on the trade-in, as
promotions around the iPhone are increasingly intense among the wireless
carriers. "When the new iPhone comes out there will be intense
competition'to capture iPhone customers, and they will make it in all
likelihood'very attractive for customers to trade in their existing iPhone.
Last year, all four major wireless carriers offered a free iPhone 7 to those
willing to trade in their iPhone 6 or 6S (assuming the older devices were in
good, working condition), with hundreds of dollars in'credits being offered
to those trading in various Android phones or even older iPhone models. "In
all likelihood, they will pay more the iPhone than they should," says
Entner. "And that's the opportunity'for the consumer. Follow Eli Blumenthal

Huawei came really close to selling as many phones as Apple - CNET

[M. Taylor]

CNET News - Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 12:12 AM
Huawei came really close to selling as many phones as Apple - CNET
 
Huawei's phone sales rose 20 percent year over year in the second quarter.
César Salza/CNET 
The gap in global phone sales between Apple and Huawei is smaller than ever.
Apple, the world's No. 2 phone seller by volume, sold 41 million iPhones in
the second quarter. Huawei, the No. 3 global phone brand thanks to its
popularity in China and Europe, sold 38.5 million phones during the same
period, Counterpoint Research said Tuesday. 
Huawei's numbers are up 20 percent from the same quarter last year, while
Apple's year-on-year growth was 2 percent. Of course, the Cupertino,
California-based company has little to worry about. Though it sells fewer
phones than Samsung and may eventually fall behind Huawei, it has always
topped profit share. In 2016, Apple accounted for just under 80 percent of
all smartphone profits. 
"Apple is the most profitable smartphone brand on the planet with highest
brand equity, however, it is in a conundrum," Counterpoint's Neil Shah told
CNET. Apple is losing ground in China, while brands like Huawei and Oppo are
becoming more popular. "Apple has been losing revenues in China since (the
2014) iPhone 6 (and) 6Plus launch, which was the peak for Apple in China,"
he said.
Oppo and Xiaomi, two other Chinese phone giants, also grew considerably. The
former sold 30.5 million phones in the second quarter, a 33 percent rise,
while the latter's 23.3 million was a 60 percent increase over the prior
year. 
Samsung is still king though, with 80.4 million in phone sales in the
quarter. LG, its South Korean competitor, sold 13.3 million phones, 600,000
fewer than in the same quarter last year.

Re: Accessible Printers

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

I also have probably the same printer as Mark although mine is the old Samsung 
M2022W A4 Printer Xpress Mono Wireless Laser Printer.

Very easy to use as Mark says and I have never had to change my toner cartridge 
yet.

RE: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

Hi:

You will get a note if serge pricing is running. You have to agree to take it 
before scheduling a ride. If not, then don’t take the ride, or try Lyft if 
available. I love Uber! So glad it is here.

Subject: Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

 

It might seem convenient, but I would not get that excited about being
able to schedule rides.

When you schedule a ride, my understanding is that the system just
puts your ride request in to the real time queue at some point when it
seems like that would be the best time to leave.

It is not like if you schedule a ride on Monday morning at 6:00am to
go to the airport, that you have a driver that knows they are
scheduled to do that on Sunday night.  The system is just going to put
your request in the real time queue say at 5:45AM, and then you'll get
the next available car.

You could be subject to surge pricing or even a situation where there
are no cars available, although this is no more likely to happen then
when requesting a ride in real time.

I just think the scheduling feature gives users a false sense of
security and a belief that your ride is somehow guaranteed or assigned
to a driver when I think in reality it is just automating entering
your ride request in to the real time queue.

I feel like by using the real time queue I have more control and a
feel for what is going on such as etas for cars and the amount of
surge pricing.

But for those of you that love the scheduling feature, what am I missing? :)

Best,
Mika

Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Eileen Scrivani]

I used the schedule in advance feature last week and the screens clearly state 
that it is not a garuntee of getting a car. If the time window rolls around and 
you don’t have a car I suppose the ride can be cancelled out and then you’' 
have the option of doing real-time or trying to get another car service. . If 
you think you’ll be in a place with a lot of noise or feeling under pressure it 
does make life easier to enter your information & schedule in advance. I’m 
happy they offer it.

It might seem convenient, but I would not get that excited about being
able to schedule rides.

When you schedule a ride, my understanding is that the system just
puts your ride request in to the real time queue at some point when it
seems like that would be the best time to leave.

It is not like if you schedule a ride on Monday morning at 6:00am to
go to the airport, that you have a driver that knows they are
scheduled to do that on Sunday night.  The system is just going to put
your request in the real time queue say at 5:45AM, and then you'll get
the next available car.

You could be subject to surge pricing or even a situation where there
are no cars available, although this is no more likely to happen then
when requesting a ride in real time.

I just think the scheduling feature gives users a false sense of
security and a belief that your ride is somehow guaranteed or assigned
to a driver when I think in reality it is just automating entering
your ride request in to the real time queue.

I feel like by using the real time queue I have more control and a
feel for what is going on such as etas for cars and the amount of
surge pricing.

But for those of you that love the scheduling feature, what am I missing? :)

Best,
Mika

3rd party USB keyboard, issues changing modifiers`

[Nickus de Vos]

Hi all
I've been using generic 3rd party USB keyboards on my iMac for a long
time without any issues, swopping around the "option" and "command"
keys wworked as expected each time I had to do it after plugging in a
new or different keyboard.

I'm having issues doing this on my 2015 MacBook pro though, yesterday
I connected a external USB keyboard to it for the first time, and for
some reason the modifier change doesn't work. I do exactly the same as
on the iMac, go swop them around inside modifier keys under Keyboard
preferences but it doesn't work.

I make sure that I'm selecting the USB keyboard when swopping the
modifiers and then press "Ok" but it doesn't change, if I go back in
to the Modifier keys diolog it's set the way I changed it, but it
doesn't take effect.

Both my machines are running the latest Mac OS so that can't be the
issue, iMac is a 2013 and MBP is a 2015.

Any ideas?

Nickus

Re: All-in-one printers/scanners

[Nickus de Vos]

Hi I don't think you ever find a printer which is 100% accessible, as in all 
menus and settings on the device read out to you. However a lot of printers of 
very usable, i for example use a Epson L565 on a daily basis in my business.

I use it to print, copy, and scan without any issues. It works with the Mac and 
voice-over but also has a iOS app which is fully accessible. I can for example 
print straight from my phone over wifi, or insert a document and scan it 
straight to my phone then email it.

Another advantage of the specific line of Epson ink tank printers is that they 
are very economical to use, I spend more money on paper than what I do on Ink 
refills for it.

RE: Unlocking Users & Groups

[Simon Fogarty]

Go back in and name your user folder back to what it was.

 You'll really have to do this through or from a USB installer,
 Or if you could setup a new user but I take it that is not possible.

High Sierra beta. Not sure what went wrong. I changed the name of the user 
folder. After restarting, I found my user account is no longer an 
administrative account. I cannot unlock Users & Groups so I cannot change my 
account status. I can change my login password and log in but cannot unlock. 
What do I need to do?

You can Uber a helicopter now. I want to try this but haven’t yet.

On a not so fun note, just discovered the city where my vet is located has 
blocked Uber. I had to find another ride home. Not fun!

Again, once you hear the tipping button, swipe with one finger either to the 
right or left until you hear it say, “schedule in advance.” If you swipe in one 
direction and don’t hear it then swipe back in the opposite direction.

Have you kept the app updated? Perhaps you might want to check in the app store 
to see if there are any updates.

Still no luck. The only thing I see is a tipping button. I have looked 
everywhere and I cannot find it. I was told we do have it. I even logged off 
and back on to the app. Also, how do you delete places were you've been? My 
feed is getting clogged up places that I've traveled that I do not want to save 
his favorites.

Yep, this is fairly easy to set up. Keep in mind that it’s a 15 minute span 
rather than an exact time. I believe you also get a notification just before 
the 15 minutes starts and then another when you have a driver.

I’ve only done this once with Uber and haven’t tried it on Lyft yet though we 
do have it here, and it worked well.

Sarai,

I just used this last week and it worked like a charm. Near the bottom of the 
screen, somewhere above the Home button, is a button that says “schedule a ride 
in advance.” If you don’t locate it then swipe either right or left until you 
hear it say just that and then double tap the button.

On the following screen, you can change the date of the ride if it isn’t the 
current date. Then go down a bit and there are picker buttons to select 
hour/minutes and either AM/PM. Once you have the date of your ride then move 
your finger near the bottom of the screen, probably just above the Home button 
again and double tap to “set the date.”

On the following screen you will set your pick up location and destination.

Once you get the address set the next screen for type of Uber ride you want 
will come up automatically. If your good with the uber-x economy then again, 
just above the home button is a “schedule ride” button. Double tap it and your 
ride will be set.

If at any time you need to cancel the ride you can double check it under the 
“upcoming rides” area.

Once your wait time starts I don’t think it will notify you until your ride is 
at the location.

I do wish they would make communicating with the driver easier or at least more 
apparent on the screens.

Good luck.

Hi guys:
I was told we can now schedule an Uber ride, but I cannot figure out how to
do with Voiceover. Help!
