 Just a quick comment regarding Apple's replacing of broken earphones.
 Strictly speaking earphones are only covered by warranty if you have
 purchased Apple Care. I am not sure if Apple at their discression does
 sometimes replace a set of earphones even without the Apple Care plan, but I
 just went through this last week. When I bought my iPhone 4S I was told that
 among other things the earphone coverage was a consideration and since I had
 broken earphones before I thought that even if I get one set of new
 earphones out of it this will already cover half of the Apple Care plan. So
 I called Apple since I am not anywhere within 600 miles of an Apple store
 and after they verified that I had the Apple Care Plan they sent me a new
 set of earphones with a prepaid UPS return envelope. They do take a credit
 card number and preauthorize the $31 or whatever it is and if you don't send
 your broken earphones back they will eventually charge your card. I sent my
 broken ones back right away after I received the package and within about 4
 or 5 days received an email confirming that they had been received and
 everything was fine.

 Hi, just so you know I've heard if you send the broken iPhone earbuds to
 apple they will replace them. You may want to call and confirm that if you
 haven't already thrown them away.

 Hi all,
 
 the right ear has died on my iPhone headphones. I am trying to find a 
 new
 
 pair of ear bud style headphones that have the inline control to 
 control the iPod player. I have found in ear and over the head ones, 
 but am not after these types.
 
 Does anyone know of any ear bud style ones that have the inline 
 control? I
 
 don't want to purchase the genuine iPhone ones, as I think their 
 sound is
 
 pretty poor.
 
 TIA,
 Brett.

 Hi List,
  
 This all sounds pretty good, but a few things I am ondering about are this:
  
 I dial a number or tell SIRI to call somebody and the line is busy. Why can’t 
 I say after a minute or even 10 minutes: Redial” or “Redial my last call”?
 This doesn’t work now and I have not heard any examples about this.
  
 Also, I am very curious whether it is finally going to be possible to enter 
 just a business name in the company field, for example, United Airlines, and 
 then to say “Call United Airlines”. I do of course imply here that I also 
 enter the correct phone number for uUnited Airlines, but currently you have 
 to also enter the company name as the last name (I guess you could do first 
 name, but I prefer to use last name for sort reasons) in order to make it 
 possible to voice dial with SIRI.
  
 I’d also hope you can ask something like “Who called me last” and after SIRI 
 announces this to say “Call back the last person who called me” or, in the 
 context of the earlier question simply “Call that number” or “Call them”.
  
 And since I am in the complaining mood, if Apple gives SIRI the ability to 
 open any app why not include things like turning WiFi, Bluetooth or Airplane 
 Mode on and off by simply telling SIRI to do so and to give me an answer when 
 I say “What’s the battery level” rather than asking me if I want to search 
 the web for “What’s the battery level”. Even my old HTC Windows 6.1 
 Smartphone with Microsoft Voice Command could do this. OK, I do admit that I 
 do not want my HTC back, but who cares about what’s playing in the movie 
 theatre or who directed Toy Story yet I can’t ask it the simplest things 
 about my phone.

Re: A Tip for A T T Wireless Customers Who Are Thinking About Upgrading to iPhone 5

The only people who were underwhelmed were those who are chronic 
complainers and whiners.
Just about everything on the new phone is improved but yet some 
still  insist it's not enough.
Ask them what they would want instead and mostly you hear the sound 
of crickets.

5.

I was amazed at the fact that the store was jam-packed with customers.
While I no longer frequent the A T  T Wireless or Verizon Wireless stores
as much as I used to, I visit enough to have been truly surprised.  There
was a waiting list to enter the store.

I asked the receptionist why the store was so busy and she said it was
because of all the people who are pre-ordering iPhone 5.

It would appear that not everyone was underwhelmed by Apple's keynote
presentation.

After leaving the store, I decided to go over to the Verizon Wireless store
and, it too, was jam-packed with people preordering.

All I can say is that there appears to be something magical about the
Apple-effect, as I have come to think of it.

By the way, I decided not to wait at the A T  T wireless store.  The
receptionist reminded me that I can check to see if I am eligible for an
upgrade by doing the following from my iPhone:

1.
Open the Phone App.

2.
Switch to the Dial Pad.

3.
Dial *639#

4.
Tap the Call button.  By the way, 6 3  9 spells the word NEW.  You will
receive a text message stating your eligibility status.

RE: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

2012-09-15 Thread Sieghard Weitzel

Hi Annie,

The iPhone 4S already had Bluetooth 4.0 which you really don't find devices
for yet, Apple is way ahead on this. I actually don't know what, for
example, a Bluetooth 4.0 headset or speaker would have that a Bluetooth 2.1
model doesn't have, but even the new Big Jambox which was only recently
released has only Bluetooth 2.1 so either it's not a big deal for something
like a speaker or device manufacturers maybe can't make a Bluetooth 4.0
device yet which has really good battery life or something like that. I am
really hoping at some point that there would be a good Bluetooth headset
which does not have the same tiny delay you seem to get with all Bluetooth
devices and which I find extremely annoying and enough of a reason to stick
to wired headsets. I actually just ordered the new ear pods which get very
good reviews, the few I read all agree that they are a huge improvement over
the original headset, one guy said they are every bit as good as his $130
Bose headset, another person said they are extremely comfortable and have
very good sound quality etc.

Sieghard

 a lot of sighted people who even have to look twice before they have
 the thing facing the right way and I think having a small reverseable
 connector is just fine. Given the popularity of Apple devices and the
huge offering of cables, docks etc.
 whatever they do is almost a standard by itself and if it's simpler
 and maybe more durable than a micro USB connector then why not. After
 all, if you want micro USB just get an adapter. I heard that there is
 maybe even in in-version change for the new iPad and that it will
 have the new small connector.

Re: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

Sieghard,

I know headphones are incredibly subjective, but somehow I doubt they will 
compare to the Bose headphones. I think if APple were to switch over to a 
silicone tip it would improve the headphones considerably. After using this 
arrangement with my Bose headphones I cannot imagine ever using anything else. 
You can say whatever you want about Bose and no not every product they turn out 
is a winner, but their headphones have thus far been the best that I have used. 
Of course there is always something better I'm sure. :)

Re: What can you say to Siri in iOS 6?

You know I find the comments about Siri really interesting, but let me stir the 
pot here and ask how many really care about Siri? I have to admit that I rarely 
use Siri although I certainly appreciate its capabilities. I actually just 
started using the dictation feature a bit more and forget to use punctuation, 
so I have to remind myself. :) So, just curious how many either really do not 
care one way or the other or used it a lot initially and found themselves not 
using it so much after a while.

When Will Next Ipad Be Released

2012-09-15 Thread Lynda Ingraham

Hi Everyone, 

Has there been any mention of when a newer Ipad will be released?  I thought
I heard some discussion but could absolutely be wrong.  Trying to decide
whether to buy what the New Ipad AKA Ipad 3 or wait because a newer version
is going to be released.  

Thank you,

Re: US ITC judge rules Apple does not violate Samsung patents

2012-09-15 Thread Christopher Chaltain

but why is Samsung evil and Apple not? Google purchased Motorola Mobile
to gain enough IP to defend themselves against Apple. Apple has filed
suits against Samsung, Google, Microsoft and so on. When you look at the
suits Apple filed in the 80's and the campaigns developers had against
Apple in the 80's and 90's because of their IP litigation, Apple is no
saint here. I'm not defending Samsung or criticizing Apple, I just think
it's wrong to assume Samsung is evil in this situation and Apple is some
harmless victim. Apple did as much as any company to create this world
of suits and counter suits we live in today. IMHO, Apple, Samsung,
Microsoft, Google, Nokia, and so on are no better than each other in
this sense. They're all playing the same games, and they're all also all
trying to legitimately protect their own IP investments.

I wonder how much we have to worry about the LTE complaints that are

allowed to be locked down by some patent held by one company. That is
to cornor the market in a way that is not fair to anyone. You can't
have a standard if everyone has to do it a different way. I hate
Samsung. I guess they can't rely on their products to stand up against
the competition, they have to find some corrupt way to get rid of them
instead.

RE: What can you say to Siri in iOS 6?

2012-09-15 Thread Lynda Ingraham

Hi Scott, 

I don't use Siri that much.  Like you, I find myself using the dictation
feature a little more than in the past.  Regarding anything else, I seems
like more work than the results provided.  In all fairness, perhaps I need
to put more time into learning what the correct way to ask Siri for
information.

You know I find the comments about Siri really interesting, but let me stir
the pot here and ask how many really care about Siri? I have to admit that I
rarely use Siri although I certainly appreciate its capabilities. I actually
just started using the dictation feature a bit more and forget to use
punctuation, so I have to remind myself. :) So, just curious how many either
really do not care one way or the other or used it a lot initially and found
themselves not using it so much after a while.

 Hi List,
 
 
 
 This all sounds pretty good, but a few things I am ondering about are
this:
 
 
 
 I dial a number or tell SIRI to call somebody and the line is busy. 
 Why can't I say after a minute or even 10 minutes: Redial or Redial 
 my last call?
 
 This doesn't work now and I have not heard any examples about this.
 
 
 
 Also, I am very curious whether it is finally going to be possible to 
 enter just a business name in the company field, for example, United 
 Airlines, and then to say Call United Airlines. I do of course 
 imply here that I also enter the correct phone number for uUnited 
 Airlines, but currently you have to also enter the company name as 
 the last name (I guess you could do first name, but I prefer to use 
 last name for sort reasons) in order to make it possible to voice 
 dial with SIRI.
 
 
 
 I'd also hope you can ask something like Who called me last and 
 after SIRI announces this to say Call back the last person who 
 called me or, in the context of the earlier question simply Call 
 that number or Call them.
 
 
 
 And since I am in the complaining mood, if Apple gives SIRI the 
 ability to open any app why not include things like turning WiFi, 
 Bluetooth or Airplane Mode on and off by simply telling SIRI to do so 
 and to give me an answer when I say What's the battery level rather 
 than asking me if I want to search the web for What's the battery 
 level. Even my old HTC Windows 6.1 Smartphone with Microsoft Voice 
 Command could do this. OK, I do admit that I do not want my HTC back, 
 but who cares about what's playing in the movie theatre or who 
 directed Toy Story yet I can't ask it the simplest things about my 
 phone.

RE: What can you say to Siri in iOS 6?

2012-09-15 Thread Sieghard Weitzel

Scott and others,

I use SIRI all the time, there simply is no easier way to set an
appointment, a reminder, alarm or timer. Dictation for me works very well
most of the time and I guess it will only get better. I can't wait for the
business search and map/turn by turn related stuff to work here in Canada
which so far it has not. I also find the Wolfram Alpha capabilities very
useful, how often has somebody listened to an audio book or read an eBook
only to come across a word you aren't quite sure about or the name of a
historical person. The other day I read a book review and came across the
word dystopian. Now maybe many of you know what it means, but even though
I have lived in Canada for half my 45-year long life and consider myself to
be completely bi-lingual I did not know this word. So I simply pushed the
Home Key on my 4S and asked SIRI Define dystopian. SIRI took about 2
seconds to look it up and gave me a concise and satisfying definition. Can I
do the same on Google or Wikipedia? Yes, but the SIRI way is much easier.
The same goes for unit conversions or if I want to quickly know something
about a particular country such as it's size or population. I think many of
the people who don't use SIRI a lot haven't quite realized how much you can
ask and of course you can ask even more as of next week. As far as dictation
is concerned Scott mentioned he forgets the punctuation. When I first
started using dictation more I realized that just like learning how to be
good with Fleksy, getting good results with dictation requires some practice
and discipline because you can't just start putting down your thoughts as
you would with a keyboard where even a very fast typer has time to think how
to best say something and it's easy to backspace or edit what you have
written. With dictation you have to get it right the first time, you can't
put in long pauses and filler words we often use in conversation. I find I
have to often take a few seconds and organize what I want to say in my mind
before I start dictating.


Regards,
Sieghard

imanuals for my iphone 4?

2012-09-15 Thread Fred Olver

I have been trying to find manuals that I can read on my iphone without much 
success can anyone direct me to a manual in itunes or tell me the name so I can 
go specificly to that manual? I have tried I O s and found a couple by a 
company called G M B H I believe, but I thought they were kinda spotty in their 
information.

Thanks.
I want to do this because when I upgrade my phone in a couple months I feel 
like I will be behind the ape ball if I don't get familiar with the current 
operating system etc.

RE: What can you say to Siri in iOS 6?

2012-09-15 Thread CD

I happen to use Siri as I will do anything not to have to use the screen.
If it wasn't for the Bluetooth keyboard I wouldn't even have an iPhone!  I
can find apps and stuff on the screen but other than that it's totally Siri,
keyboard or dictation for me.  Hope no one flames me for that.  I love the
iPhone and it meets my electronically challenged needs.

 Hi List,



 This all sounds pretty good, but a few things I am ondering about are
this:



 I dial a number or tell SIRI to call somebody and the line is busy. 
 Why can't I say after a minute or even 10 minutes: Redial or 
 Redial my last call?

 This doesn't work now and I have not heard any examples about this.



 Also, I am very curious whether it is finally going to be possible 
 to enter just a business name in the company field, for example, 
 United Airlines, and then to say Call United Airlines. I do of 
 course imply here that I also enter the correct phone number for 
 uUnited Airlines, but currently you have to also enter the company 
 name as the last name (I guess you could do first name, but I prefer 
 to use last name for sort reasons) in order to make it possible to 
 voice dial with SIRI.



 I'd also hope you can ask something like Who called me last and 
 after SIRI announces this to say Call back the last person who 
 called me or, in the context of the earlier question simply Call 
 that number or Call them.



 And since I am in the complaining mood, if Apple gives SIRI the 
 ability to open any app why not include things like turning WiFi, 
 Bluetooth or Airplane Mode on and off by simply telling SIRI to do 
 so and to give me an answer when I say What's the battery level 
 rather than asking me if I want to search the web for What's the 
 battery level. Even my old HTC Windows 6.1 Smartphone with 
 Microsoft Voice Command could do this. OK, I do admit that I do not 
 want my HTC back, but who cares about what's playing in the movie 
 theatre or who directed Toy Story yet I can't ask it the simplest 
 things about my phone.

RE: What can you say to Siri in iOS 6?

Hi,
When SIRI works, I use it mostly for setting appointments, which I have to
do quite a bit.  Also for the times when I just want to say a few things in
an Email, or the occasional asking for information that I'm too lazy to type
into a search field, grin.

However, with the new added feature of being able to launch apps, I'll
probably use it more.

By-the-way, Jason, you may want to make sure your comments are at the top of
the message instead of at the end of all the other replies in a topic.

Later,
Richard

RE: When Will Next Ipad Be Released

They didn't say a word about a new iPad.  I listened to the entire

I believe the last two iPads were released in March or April, not the Fall,

next year.

WI-FI Signal Problems

2012-09-15 Thread Lynda Ingraham

Hi, 

We seem to be having problems with both my IPhone 4s and my husband's first
generation IPad with the WI-FI signal in our home.  We did not have these
issues until moving into our new house.  

Our house is a ranch-style.  The living space is 2,000 sq. feet.  The
computer is located at the back of the house.  If we are anywhere in the
front of the house, neither device will pick up out WI-FI network.  

I spoke to Time Warner yesterday again.  They suggested that we either move
the WI-FI router or buy a signal booster.  
At our last house, the router was upstairs and we could still pick up our
network out on the front porch or in the backyard.  

If a signal booster is the answer, does anyone have any recommendations? 

Thank you in advance, 

Lynda

Re: A Tip for A T T Wireless Customers Who Are Thinking About Upgrading to iPhone 5

2012-09-15 Thread Damashe Thomas

The phone is a very nice upgrade from models. I wasn't underwhelmed, but I 
do admit to being slightly disappointed that apple wasn't able to keep 
anything secret this time. Last year, siri on the 4S was something no one 
knew was coming. This year however, it seems that just about leaked well in 
advance of the event and it was mostly confirmation, and in some cases more 
deatils. I just wanted to be surprised is all. Not being surprised by 
anything doesn't deminish the excellent product apple has released, and I 
will get one.

The only people who were underwhelmed were those who are chronic 
complainers and whiners.
Just about everything on the new phone is improved but yet some still 
insist it's not enough.
Ask them what they would want instead and mostly you hear the sound of 
crickets.

Hello Everyone,

I went into the A T  T Wireless store a few hours ago to see if I am
eligible for an upgrade.  Somehow I knew I wouldn't be but I just wanted 
to

confirm (Smile).  Not that it matters as I have decided to purchase iPhone
5.

I was amazed at the fact that the store was jam-packed with customers.
While I no longer frequent the A T  T Wireless or Verizon Wireless stores
as much as I used to, I visit enough to have been truly surprised.  There
was a waiting list to enter the store.

I asked the receptionist why the store was so busy and she said it was
because of all the people who are pre-ordering iPhone 5.

It would appear that not everyone was underwhelmed by Apple's keynote
presentation.

After leaving the store, I decided to go over to the Verizon Wireless 
store

and, it too, was jam-packed with people preordering.

All I can say is that there appears to be something magical about the
Apple-effect, as I have come to think of it.

By the way, I decided not to wait at the A T  T wireless store.  The
receptionist reminded me that I can check to see if I am eligible for an
upgrade by doing the following from my iPhone:

1.
Open the Phone App.

2.
Switch to the Dial Pad.

3.
Dial *639#

4.
Tap the Call button.  By the way, 6 3  9 spells the word NEW.  You will
receive a text message stating your eligibility status.

Re: VZW Unlimited Data was: IPhone 5

2012-09-15 Thread Steve

Hmmm, are you sure?

I know when my son used an upgrade to trade in his Android for a 4s, he kept 
the unlimited data plan that we are on.  The only phone line that isn't on 
unlimited data was a new one we added to the account for his fiancé.

Just asking, are you guessing that you can't use the upgrade or did you hear 
this officially from Verizon?

 How many of you are going to upgrade?
 For me personally, since I am upgrading from an iPhone 4, I think it is
 worth the upgrade.
 What with Siri, the faster processor, three microphones LTE and maps

 Hi Kirsten,
 It, (meaning your results) may vary from say, a 3GS to a 4S perhaps since
it
 depends on pinpoint timing in my experience.
 
 On my 4S I double-tap--Hold, wait for the tri-tone and while it is still
 sounding I do a quick swipe to the right. This only works about 80% of the
 time and the timing of the last part of the gesture seems to be the key,
it
 has to be almost frantic for lack of a better description. And this is
one
 continuous gesture without a finger lift inbetween.
 
 Once I get my 3GS back from the person who borrowed it way too long ago
I'll
 try the same thing with the slower processor and report my findings. It's
 not you but the gesture seems about as consistent as do the ones
pertaining
 to the rotor. The rotor will cooperate 90% of the time and sometimes
 twisting it one direction works better than the other. But hey, 90's
better
 than 80 so maybe the Apple gods are smiling down on us some days after
all.
 Now if I could just talk Siri into doing that part . . .

RE: IPhone 5 cases

2012-09-15 Thread Amy Billman

I haven't officially heard one way or the other either, though I would think
that they would. Actually, they'd have to, because people are going to want
and need cases for their phones, but also, unlike the situation with the 4
and 4S, the new iPhone is drastically different. Even the location of the
headphone jack is different.
What I'm curious about is how long it will take the new cases from OtterBox
or even Life Proof to surface once the new phones are being shipped.

RE: IPod Touch Speed

Hi,
The new iPod Touch has the same processor chip as your iPhone 4S, it is
called the A5 chip.
So, the speed of the new touch should match that of your 4S.
The camera in the new Touch is the same as in the newest iPad, a 5 megapixel
camera with auto-focus and flash, so if you want to use it for bar codes,
etc., it should work fine.
It will also have SIRI, the same screen and size of the iPhone 5, etc..

Re: A Tip for A T T Wireless Customers Who Are Thinking About Upgrading to iPhone 5

2012-09-15 Thread James Mannion

You have to be sure to enter *639# and be sure to put the * at the
bbeginning and the # at the end. I suspect you are not putting the #
at the end and that you are only dialing *639.

Hope this helps,

 Hello Everyone,

 I went into the A T  T Wireless store a few hours ago to see if I am
 eligible for an upgrade.  Somehow I knew I wouldn't be but I just wanted
 to
 confirm (Smile).  Not that it matters as I have decided to purchase
 iPhone
 5.

 I was amazed at the fact that the store was jam-packed with customers.
 While I no longer frequent the A T  T Wireless or Verizon Wireless
 stores
 as much as I used to, I visit enough to have been truly surprised.  There
 was a waiting list to enter the store.

 I asked the receptionist why the store was so busy and she said it was
 because of all the people who are pre-ordering iPhone 5.

 It would appear that not everyone was underwhelmed by Apple's keynote
 presentation.

 After leaving the store, I decided to go over to the Verizon Wireless
 store
 and, it too, was jam-packed with people preordering.

 All I can say is that there appears to be something magical about the
 Apple-effect, as I have come to think of it.

 By the way, I decided not to wait at the A T  T wireless store.  The
 receptionist reminded me that I can check to see if I am eligible for an
 upgrade by doing the following from my iPhone:

 1.
 Open the Phone App.

 2.
 Switch to the Dial Pad.

 3.
 Dial *639#

 4.
 Tap the Call button.  By the way, 6 3  9 spells the word NEW.  You will
 receive a text message stating your eligibility status.

next year.
I have nothing to base that on, other than Apple's history.

RE: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

Hi Annie,

Which braille display?

Most of them, and I've tried several, you have to be sure of the sequence
you turn things off and on.
Once you have the display paired, before you turn off the display, lock the
phone, then turn off the display.
When you want to use them again, unlock the phone before turning on the
display.  In some cases, you may want to wait 10 or 15 seconds before
turning on the display.
Then, they should pair up again automatically.

I had heard that early on with Verizon and the Braille pen, there were
problems, but I thought that had been fixed by iOS 5.1.1.

HTH,
Richard

Re: imanuals for my iphone 4?

2012-09-15 Thread Teresa Cochran

I don't think there are manuals available for IOs6 yet. However, the easiest 
thing might be to go to the Ibooks store within Ibooks and look up manuals by 
apple there. I found my Ipod manual this way.

Why I No Longer Preorder iPhone From A T T Wireless

2012-09-15 Thread M. Taylor

Hello Everyone,

Once upon a time, I believed in preordering from A T  T Wireless.  In fact,
I preordered my iPhone 4.  

However, last year, at the release of iPhone 4 S, I began the A T  T
Wireless online preorder process and, thank God, decided to cancel the order
before its completion.  

I don't remember the particulars but something in the agreement that one
needed to confirm by placing a checkmark in a box, didn't sound quite right.


As it turned out, my refusal to agree to their terms during the online
preorder process was a wise decision.  

Like many of us who continue to enjoy the unlimited data plan that A T   T
Wireless no longer offers, agreeing to last year's online iPhone 4 S
preorder terms automatically updated the data plan to one that did not
include unlimited data.

Now I cannot speak to preordering from Apple as I have never done so but I
can tell you that A T  T Wireless would love to remove all of those
remaining on the unlimited data plan and will do darn near anything to
accomplish this including lacing there agreement with so much legalese that
one will simply agree without reading it.  

In short, when I purchase my iPhone 5, just like last year, I will go into
an A T  T Wireless corporate store, remove my own SIM card from my current
device, and place it in the new device to insure that nothing funky happens
with my data plan.  

Good Luck To All,

Mark

You have to be sure to enter *639# and be sure to put the * at the

Hello Everyone,

I went into the A T  T Wireless store a few hours ago to see if I am
eligible for an upgrade.  Somehow I knew I wouldn't be but I just wanted
to
confirm (Smile).  Not that it matters as I have decided to purchase
iPhone
5.

I was amazed at the fact that the store was jam-packed with customers.
While I no longer frequent the A T  T Wireless or Verizon Wireless
stores
as much as I used to, I visit enough to have been truly surprised. 
There

was a waiting list to enter the store.

I asked the receptionist why the store was so busy and she said it was
because of all the people who are pre-ordering iPhone 5.

It would appear that not everyone was underwhelmed by Apple's keynote
presentation.

After leaving the store, I decided to go over to the Verizon Wireless
store
and, it too, was jam-packed with people preordering.

All I can say is that there appears to be something magical about the
Apple-effect, as I have come to think of it.

By the way, I decided not to wait at the A T  T wireless store.  The
receptionist reminded me that I can check to see if I am eligible for an
upgrade by doing the following from my iPhone:

1.
Open the Phone App.

2.
Switch to the Dial Pad.

3.
Dial *639#

4.
Tap the Call button.  By the way, 6 3  9 spells the word NEW.  You will
receive a text message stating your eligibility status.

Re: What can you say to Siri in iOS 6?

2012-09-15 Thread Kimber Gardner

When I first got my phone I used to try and use Siri. But since she

type and find stuff faster on my own.

 punctuation, so I have to remind myself. :) So, just curious how many either

 On 9/15/12, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote:
 Hi List,



 This all sounds pretty good, but a few things I am ondering about are
 this:



 I dial a number or tell SIRI to call somebody and the line is busy. Why
 can't I say after a minute or even 10 minutes: Redial or Redial my
 last
 call?

 This doesn't work now and I have not heard any examples about this.



 Also, I am very curious whether it is finally going to be possible to
 enter
 just a business name in the company field, for example, United Airlines,
 and
 then to say Call United Airlines. I do of course imply here that I
 also
 enter the correct phone number for uUnited Airlines, but currently you
 have
 to also enter the company name as the last name (I guess you could do
 first
 name, but I prefer to use last name for sort reasons) in order to make
 it
 possible to voice dial with SIRI.



 I'd also hope you can ask something like Who called me last and after
 SIRI
 announces this to say Call back the last person who called me or, in
 the
 context of the earlier question simply Call that number or Call
 them.



 And since I am in the complaining mood, if Apple gives SIRI the ability
 to
 open any app why not include things like turning WiFi, Bluetooth or
 Airplane
 Mode on and off by simply telling SIRI to do so and to give me an answer
 when I say What's the battery level rather than asking me if I want to
 search the web for What's the battery level. Even my old HTC Windows
 6.1
 Smartphone with Microsoft Voice Command could do this. OK, I do admit
 that
 I
 do not want my HTC back, but who cares about what's playing in the movie
 theatre or who directed Toy Story yet I can't ask it the simplest things
 about my phone.

Re: Why I No Longer Preorder iPhone From A T T Wireless

Mark,

I upgraded to the 4S last year and still retained my unlimited data plan. 
However, unlimited is really a joke because the fact is once you exceed 3Gb, 
ATT throttles your speed to the point that it is completely unreasonable. 
Although not technically a breech of contract, it does open the doors to 
arbitration and a good chance you can be freed from the contract. If ATT pulls 
the crap about not allowing FaceTime over the 3G network unless you have a 
shared data plan, I will be on the horn to the FCC and raise hell. In fact I'm 
still surprised they are able to prevent those of us with unlimited data plans 
from having tethering. As I understand Verizon Wireless got pinged for this not 
long ago.

Re: What can you say to Siri in iOS 6?

2012-09-15 Thread Mary Otten

I use the dictation feature of siri a lot. Other than that, I don't use siri 
for much except voice dialing contacts out of my address book. And like 
Ricardo, I can dial a call that has only a company name in the company field 
and no first or last name. I would love to see voice inquiry integrated into 
the maps and gps, so you could simply ask Siri where am I and get info back 
like closest address, nearest intersection etc. But of course, since that 
probably doesn't matter much to sighted people, unless they live in my town, 
where a lot of the street signs are stolen by students at the start of each 
year, it probably won't happen.

Re: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

Richard,

I have had problems since back when related to the display not reconnecting, 
loosing WI-FI and so on. I can tell you that it seems to matter little at least 
for me using a 4S on ATT when who gets turned on when. I do turn the display 
on first, but I have turned it off and back on while the phone is unlocked and 
in most cases it will reconnect. I have seen some cases where it never 
connected despite the sequence. The problem is the problem is not the same for 
everyone. I've tried to gather as much data as I could to share with Apple, but 
I have never been abel to gather enough data from folks to really be of any 
help. Of course anything anyone shares is welcome, but I need pretty specific 
steps and results. I have been working with APple on/off about this problem for 
a while and hope iOS 6 will have some of this resolved. If not I'm going to 
start a campaign. :) I want to use my display as much as possible, but I'm not 
going to make myself nuts either. :)

 Hi Annie,
 
 Which braille display?
 
 Most of them, and I've tried several, you have to be sure of the sequence
 you turn things off and on.
 Once you have the display paired, before you turn off the display, lock the
 phone, then turn off the display.
 When you want to use them again, unlock the phone before turning on the
 display.  In some cases, you may want to wait 10 or 15 seconds before
 turning on the display.
 Then, they should pair up again automatically.
 
 I had heard that early on with Verizon and the Braille pen, there were
 problems, but I thought that had been fixed by iOS 5.1.1.

 The iPhone 4S already had Bluetooth 4.0 which you really don't find

 what, for example, a Bluetooth 4.0 headset or speaker would have that 
 a Bluetooth 2.1 model doesn't have, but even the new Big Jambox which 
 was only recently released has only Bluetooth 2.1 so either it's not a 
 big deal for something like a speaker or device manufacturers maybe 
 can't make a Bluetooth 4.0 device yet which has really good battery 
 life or something like that. I am really hoping at some point that 
 there would be a good Bluetooth headset which does not have the same 
 tiny delay you seem to get with all Bluetooth devices and which I find 
 extremely annoying and enough of a reason to stick to wired headsets. 
 I actually just ordered the new ear pods which get very good reviews, 
 the few I read all agree that they are a huge improvement over the 
 original headset, one guy said they are every bit as good as his $130 
 Bose headset, another person said they are extremely comfortable and have
 very good sound quality etc.

Hmm, I will have to try the where am I again. I do have the sendero look
around which will give intersection info, but having everything integrated
into the maps app would be neat. I guess we don't know yet whether there
will be turn by turn for pedestrian routes, do we? I don't recall seeing
anything about that, but I could easily have missed it.

Re: Why I No Longer Preorder iPhone From A T T Wireless

2012-09-15 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu

Mark,


You can't use the same card i.e. you have to get a sim Nano and ask them to put 
your number on the new SIM nano card (what is termed a straight sim swap).

Hi,
Otterbox site is claiming that all preordered cases will begin shipping on the 
21st of September.  that date hasn’t changed via the site for the past 4 days.
I can’t speak to other manufacturers as I haven’t researched them personally.

I haven't officially heard one way or the other either, though I would think
that they would. Actually, they'd have to, because people are going to want
and need cases for their phones, but also, unlike the situation with the 4
and 4S, the new iPhone is drastically different. Even the location of the
headphone jack is different.
What I'm curious about is how long it will take the new cases from OtterBox
or even Life Proof to surface once the new phones are being shipped.

I've had pretty consistent problems with my blue tooth qwerty keyboard and
Wi-Fi getting messed up after I've used it for a while.
I have not noticed the same with the braille display.  I will continue to

After iOS 6 comes out, I will be using braille more.

 Most of them, and I've tried several, you have to be sure of the 
 sequence you turn things off and on.
 Once you have the display paired, before you turn off the display, 
 lock the phone, then turn off the display.
 When you want to use them again, unlock the phone before turning on 
 the display.  In some cases, you may want to wait 10 or 15 seconds 
 before turning on the display.
 Then, they should pair up again automatically.
 
 I had heard that early on with Verizon and the Braille pen, there were

RE: i5 Underwhelming

2012-09-15 Thread Joe

I think that's what I was getting at: Going from the 4S to the 5 is not
going to be substantially different. There's a reason why I chose the
iPhone, but I don't think it unfair to say that Apple appears to be
innovating at a slower rate than when Jobs was in charge. That doesn't mean
that Cook is not innovative or that the iPhone is falling way behind. All
things considered though, I think other platforms are raising the bar at a
faster rate. Since we're relying on one major OS upgrade a year, I'd like to
see that upgrade pack a punch. Hardware-wise, I think they're doing what
they need to do to keep pace. The camera is more dynamic even if it stayed
at 8 MP. But, Do Not Disturb is nothing to be wowed by when other platforms
were doing this already. I'm fine with them going rogue on maps, but why fix
something that wasn't broken? The same is true of Youtube. Perhaps my
greater complaint is that Apple is attempting to pit itself against Google
when Google could in fact help iOS stay ahead of the curve. Anyway,
regardless, I am glad that accessibility is still built into the core, and

Anyway, seriously though, I'm not going to belittle anyone who upgrades from

Re: VZW Unlimited Data was: IPhone 5

It's official.  I spoke with a Verizon rep who confirmed what Kimberly 
reported.  I also kept my unlimited plan when I got the 4S, but that will end 
with the 5.

 I know when my son used an upgrade to trade in his Android for a 4s, he kept

 Just asking, are you guessing that you can't use the upgrade or did you hear 
 this officially from Verizon?

  Hi all,
  So, what do you all think of iPhone 5?
  How many of you are going to upgrade?
  For me personally, since I am upgrading from an iPhone 4, I think it is
  worth the upgrade.
  What with Siri, the faster processor, three microphones LTE and maps
  features-thigns you won't get on the 4 with IOS 6.
  What are peoples thoughts?

RE: i5 Underwhelming


If other  platforms are moving faster it is only because they are far behind.
As for innovations slowing down; as any technology  matures change 
will  naturally slow down.

It can not do otherwise.
Everything moves faster when starting from zero.
This is truly basic stuff and I wonder why people keep acting shocked 
when  they encounter it.

I think that's what I was getting at: Going from the 4S to the 5 is not
going to be substantially different. There's a reason why I chose the
iPhone, but I don't think it unfair to say that Apple appears to be
innovating at a slower rate than when Jobs was in charge. That doesn't mean
that Cook is not innovative or that the iPhone is falling way behind. All
things considered though, I think other platforms are raising the bar at a
faster rate. Since we're relying on one major OS upgrade a year, I'd like to
see that upgrade pack a punch. Hardware-wise, I think they're doing what
they need to do to keep pace. The camera is more dynamic even if it stayed
at 8 MP. But, Do Not Disturb is nothing to be wowed by when other platforms
were doing this already. I'm fine with them going rogue on maps, but why fix
something that wasn't broken? The same is true of Youtube. Perhaps my
greater complaint is that Apple is attempting to pit itself against Google
when Google could in fact help iOS stay ahead of the curve. Anyway,
regardless, I am glad that accessibility is still built into the core, and
that is something that for me personally keeps the iPhone ahead of
everything else.--Joe

Re: *639#Re: A Tip for A T T Wireless Customers Who Are Thinking About Upgrading to iPhone 5

2012-09-15 Thread Crystal French


Hi,
Yes, I absolutely entered the code correctly.

I finally called 611 and talked with an ATT rep.

She suggested I try checking for minutes and balance, which I did, and those 
went through correctly.


At least, I did get pricing information on plans, so it wasn't a waste of 
time.


She did say they were dropping the 250 mb data plan and were going to 300 
mb, with a $5.00 additional for that.


I don't have to have the iPhone 5 the day it comes out, so I think I will 
check to see what other carriers may offer.

Re: IPod Touch Speed

2012-09-15 Thread Esther

Hi Lynda,

The speed of the first generation iPad is much slower than the iPad 2,
and current model iPad. It is slower than and iPhone 4 or 4S.  You can
help out on the performance speed by not keeping extra Safari pages
loaded, and clearing out the cache and history under Settings 
Safari, since it's not simply the older processor's speed, but the
smaller amount of onboard dynamic memory for loading large images and
redrawing the screen (i.e., this is not the storage memory that you
have available for apps and music, but a property of the processor
chip).  It also helps to keep the App Switcher relatively clear,
either by manually deleting other apps or using an app that can free
memory. I'd guess that the new iPod Touch would be considerably faster
Than his current iPad -- maybe even faster than your iPhone 4S. The
current iPad is also fast.  I suspect it's a question of what you
want, and also whether your husband is a low vision user or totally
blind.  There can be advantages in sharing peripherals that use the
same dock connector.  And it depends on whether he'll use the extra
screen real estate.  The iPad 2 and 3 have camera connector kits that
allow you to plug in and use unpowered USB devices (for example, some
USB microphones).  The iPad (3) will also mirror apps by default, if
you need to give a demo or presentation.  Those are some features that
I don't believe are present (or not at the same level) for the iPhone
4S, and that some people might use.  You'll also have better audio
quality without headphones with the iPad, if that makes a difference.

The new iPod Touch has the convenience of the smaller screen/
portability, and a good camera for OCR and barcode and ID apps
(LookTel Money Reader, LookTel Recognizer, Digit-Eyes, etc.) It will
also support the faster wireless network connections, but will use new
dock adapters.  In other respects, it seems much like what many people
hoped for in the fourth generation iPod Touch (though it would be nice
to have built-in GPS -- didn't expect that to happen, though.)

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

2012-09-15 Thread Esther

Hi Kevin and Others,

This is a side-comment to the issue of micro-USB vs. new dock
connectors, but I'd just like to point out that if you do have to use
micro USB connectors, a small side benefit of getting products like
the Jawbone Jambox or Big Jambox, or any of the Jawbone Blutooth
headsets, is that they come with micro USB to USB connectors that has
a flat bevel on one side so that you can tell which way to plug into a
micro USB port by holding the plug.  As a result, I use this connector
for lots more items than my Jawbone devices.  I agree with Sieghard
that the lag in Bluetooth headsets is annoying, so I don't use the
Bluetooth headset/phone function much. But I use the connector to
charge my portable Wi-Fi hotspot, for example.

As far as the new Bluetooth standard, the lower power usage that Kevin
mentioned in another post is really going to be used for new classes
of Bluetooth devices -- such as medical monitoring devices -- rather
than more lag-free audio to headsets, though the latter might be
coming, too.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

2012-09-15 Thread Annie Skov Nielsen

Hi Scot.
The display I have problems with is my great brailiant 32 cells. Sometimes it 
suddenly loses conection, and it can be a little difficult to get it connected 
again. I have tried writing about it on some lists before, but people won't not 
discuss that problem.

Do you mean, that I should try to turn of mobile data or wifi. I will try that, 
and come back to you.

I know that the refresha braille displays also have some problems, because some 
people here in Denmark are using them too under the name vario and super vario. 
The strange thing is that a focus display does not make any problems at all.

Best regards Annie.

Den Sep 15, 2012 kl. 7:47 PM skrev Richard Turner richard.turne...@gmail.com:

 Hi Annie,
 
 Which braille display?
 
 Most of them, and I've tried several, you have to be sure of the sequence
 you turn things off and on.
 Once you have the display paired, before you turn off the display, lock the
 phone, then turn off the display.
 When you want to use them again, unlock the phone before turning on the
 display.  In some cases, you may want to wait 10 or 15 seconds before
 turning on the display.
 Then, they should pair up again automatically.
 
 I had heard that early on with Verizon and the Braille pen, there were
 problems, but I thought that had been fixed by iOS 5.1.1.

 Richard

 Hi Annie,
 
 The iPhone 4S already had Bluetooth 4.0 which you really don't find 
 devices for yet, Apple is way ahead on this. I actually don't know 
 what, for example, a Bluetooth 4.0 headset or speaker would have that 
 a Bluetooth 2.1 model doesn't have, but even the new Big Jambox which 
 was only recently released has only Bluetooth 2.1 so either it's not a 
 big deal for something like a speaker or device manufacturers maybe 
 can't make a Bluetooth 4.0 device yet which has really good battery 
 life or something like that. I am really hoping at some point that 
 there would be a good Bluetooth headset which does not have the same 
 tiny delay you seem to get with all Bluetooth devices and which I find 
 extremely annoying and enough of a reason to stick to wired headsets. 
 I actually just ordered the new ear pods which get very good reviews, 
 the few I read all agree that they are a huge improvement over the 
 original headset, one guy said they are every bit as good as his $130 
 Bose headset, another person said they are extremely comfortable and have
 very good sound quality etc.

 In any case, I personally think Micro USB is a big pain in the neck, 
 I know a lot of sighted people who even have to look twice before 
 they have the thing facing the right way and I think having a small

 devices and the

 whatever they do is almost a standard by itself and if it's simpler 
 and maybe more durable than a micro USB connector then why not. 
 After all, if you want micro USB just get an adapter. I heard that 
 there is maybe even in in-version change for the new iPad and that 
 it will have the new small connector.

unlimited data plan, you must pay full price for the iPhone 5.  I think I'm
going to Sprint with the rest of my family.  We don't even have 4G here yet,
but hopefully it's coming.

 Hi all,
 So, what do you all think of iPhone 5?
 How many of you are going to upgrade?
 For me personally, since I am upgrading from an iPhone 4, I think it is
 worth the upgrade.
 What with Siri, the faster processor, three microphones LTE and maps
 features-thigns you won't get on the 4 with IOS 6.
 What are peoples thoughts?

 Most of them, and I've tried several, you have to be sure of the sequence

 Once you have the display paired, before you turn off the display, lock the
 phone, then turn off the display.
 When you want to use them again, unlock the phone before turning on the
 display.  In some cases, you may want to wait 10 or 15 seconds before
 turning on the display.
 Then, they should pair up again automatically.
 
 I had heard that early on with Verizon and the Braille pen, there were

 whatever they do is almost a standard by itself and if it's simpler

 After all, if you want micro USB just get an adapter. I heard that 
 there is maybe even in in-version change for the new iPad and that 
 it will have the new small connector.

Re: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

2012-09-15 Thread David Chittenden

Hello,

Vario and Super Vario are not the same as RefreshaBraille. They are the same as 
HumanWare,. HumanWare and Hims appear to be the companies that are consistently 
having the most problems with their braille displays and Apple products. Both 
Hims and HumanWare are running their displays from Windows CE V6.x, an OS 
platform that is now three years out of date and no longer being supported by 
Microsoft. In other words, out of date platforms are being used to try and 
support more up-to-date bluetooth driver stacks - a recipe for eventual 
complications; especially when one considers the fact that this OS was 
initially used for its built-in driver stacks. The problem for Hims and 
HumanWare is that MS does not allow any accessibility hook / plug-ins for 
Windows Mobile platforms after Windows CE V6.x.

Hello Everyone,

I went into the A T  T Wireless store a few hours ago to see if I am
eligible for an upgrade.  Somehow I knew I wouldn't be but I just 
wanted

to
confirm (Smile).  Not that it matters as I have decided to purchase
iPhone
5.

I was amazed at the fact that the store was jam-packed with customers.
While I no longer frequent the A T  T Wireless or Verizon Wireless
stores
as much as I used to, I visit enough to have been truly surprised. 
There

was a waiting list to enter the store.

I asked the receptionist why the store was so busy and she said it was
because of all the people who are pre-ordering iPhone 5.

It would appear that not everyone was underwhelmed by Apple's keynote
presentation.

After leaving the store, I decided to go over to the Verizon Wireless
store
and, it too, was jam-packed with people preordering.

All I can say is that there appears to be something magical about the
Apple-effect, as I have come to think of it.

By the way, I decided not to wait at the A T  T wireless store.  The
receptionist reminded me that I can check to see if I am eligible for 
an

upgrade by doing the following from my iPhone:

1.
Open the Phone App.

2.
Switch to the Dial Pad.

3.
Dial *639#

4.
Tap the Call button.  By the way, 6 3  9 spells the word NEW.  You 
will

receive a text message stating your eligibility status.

Hello,

 

I've preordered my iPhone 5, and it should arrive on or near October 5th.
Has anyone else taken the plunge and preordered, what capacity did you get,
and from where?
