Re: iPhone 5 and power up vibration
I don't doubt that would be nice but, How many times have people started their phones without voiceover coming up talking? I honestly can't recall it ever happening for me. IDK. I personally find it overkill but, I know many others would and will find vibration in the case reassuring.

Re: iPhone Passcode query
I would say either use headphones when entering the code or just make it a habit to press the volume down a few times and hold it close to your ear to enter the code. You might also want to consider how it fits your situation that even if someone did hear the code, they would have to be also the one to take your phone if they were going to do such a thing or at least to be able to pick it up somehow. Without that combination of events, the code means nothing to them. Then there is that probably the majority won't understand what it is saying or even care. So thinking specifically what this code is protecting may help.

Anyway, that wasn’t the problem, but now of course, when I unlock my phone and am prompted to enter in my four digit code, VO announces what I’m typing. This kind of defeats the purpose. At home it’s not an issue, but when I’m out and about or around people whoever they may be, what’s the point since my code is announced to anyone keen enough to hear? I know that Apple just couldn’t have had VoiceOver say star, star, star, star or asterisc, asterisc, asterisc, asterisc for every number we press since we would then have no idea if we’re pressing the right key combination or not. My question is if there’s in fact some other means to protect our four digit code from being announced in a way where it’s not broadcasted to the four winds whenever we wish to unlock our device? I poke around the settings and didn’t find anything if there was anything at all. I guess enabling a dial pad feature to recreate the tones when making a call could be a solution, but those tones are so subtle, it really takes a trained ear to differentiate them from one another. Anyway, just thought I’d ask if anyone knows of a better solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: VO in iOS six question
Hi Sieghard. I followed your instructions, but after I pressed the first language button, I was unable to select Australian English. The only English options I was given were English and British English. I'm really interested in using the full Australian voice as my default.

I changed it in the rotor back to US and hope it will stay that way. Though it still seems to indicate that my default is British English even though I have said just English like you said. I guess it doesn't take much effort to change it if it changes itsself back since it's in my rotor, just it never did that before so it's slightly irritating. Kirsten Sent from my iPhone On 22 Sep 2012, at 19:03, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Kirsten, You can change the voice under Internationals and keep the date format you prefer. In International you can change the following settings independently from each other: Language: this is the default language used by Voiceover Voice Control: this is the language you set for SIRI or stand-along voice dialing Keyboards: here you can select multiple keyboards and order them in the same way you can order the voices in the language rotor. I just use the main English keyboard and the Emoji keyboard to have easy access to emoticons. By the way, just noticed you can delete items here by flicking down, i.e. the new actions rotor works here. Region Format: Here you can select your country and this determines how your date and time is formatted/displayed. If you change this and then flick past the Calendar setting you find a region Format Example which displays how the date, time and phone numbers are formatted. I am in Canada, so I have the voice set to just English which means I use the Samantha HQ voice, I have SIRI set to English Canada and the region format also to Canada although I think that is pretty much the same as US. However, if you are in England and want to use Samantha I don't see why you can't select English as the language instead of British English, then set SIRI to English UK to make she understands your limy accent *smile* and the region format to United Kingdom.

Re: Quick thoughts on IOS6
Marco, WHen you refer to the size of the file are you referring to the software for the phone? Why should APple have split the file into smaller portions? I really think when you consider the software, 680Mb or so is not really that large. In fax I suspect it would be difficult to split the file and not something I myself would want. I'd rather get the file as one package instead of having to possibly perform two steps to complete the upgrade. On Sep 22, 2012, at 10:30 PM, Marco Migotti n...@migotti.net wrote: I installed 6.0 yesterday and have had 24 hours to play with it. Something I really like in this OS is that apple took the Bluetooth toggle switch and put it near the top with the wireless switch which will make it easier to flick it on and off. It never really belonged under the general tab. Another feature I like is the new way of deleting emails which will make it easier to read and reply to messages in a more timely way. The maps feature is good and I like the ability to being able to feel where things are located around me. It won't replace my sendero but it is a useful way to let one know where they are on the map.

ot imap and gmail
Hi all. I can't get email on the computer right now. Yesterday I switched my gmail settings on the gmail to imap as I would like to have my email and phone to sync together. I'm using thunderbird. If someone could tell me how to set up an existing account to use imap with gmail that would be great. I was on the gmail website and it only gave me instructions for setting up a new account.

Re: inserting a period at the end of a sentence
Larry it works just fine in iOS 6. Most people find performing this action challenging because it is based on timing. WIth practice you will become successful. The taps have to be pretty close together and I would say within one second of each other. Again, with practice you will get it. Although I have had very good success, I on occasion find that I have not performed the action properly and ended up with a space instead.

Bible Gateway
I use Bible Gateway but I also sometimes use sword drill. It accesses the Bible Gateway website but to use versions other than what it accesses I think you have to put the url in and I think you can do this somewhere in settings; haven't gotten around to doing it. What I like about sword drill is that if I type a passage indication into the search field, either within a chapter or spanning chapters, just the passage I want is brought up without anything extra at the beginning or end. In the Bible Gateway app, if I type in the search field, I get the verses I want but more than just the passage I wanted is displayed. I wouldn't replace bible gateway with this completely necessarily but I find it to be a handy tool. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

I just use the main English keyboard and the Emoji keyboard to have easy access to emoticons. By the way, just noticed you can delete items here by flicking down, i.e. the new actions rotor works here. Region Format: Here you can select your country and this determines how your date and time is formatted/displayed. If you change this and then flick past the Calendar setting you find a region Format Example which displays how the date, time and phone numbers are formatted. I am in Canada, so I have the voice set to just English which means I use the Samantha HQ voice, I have SIRI set to English Canada and the region format also to Canada although I think that is pretty much the same as US. However, if you are in England and want to use Samantha I don't see why you can't select English as the language instead of British English, then set SIRI to English UK to make she understands your limy accent *smile* and the region format to United Kingdom.

Now, everything seems to be very quiet. When turned to 100 percent ,voiceover speaks like 50 percent before. And the signal sounds are so quiet that I don't think an alarm clock would wake me up at all. All in all, it seems that the volume has dropped in general. I turned on and off the sounds in general without success. Shutting down and re-booting the phone didn't help either. I also made sure that the option that allows you to change the volume with the appropriate keys was turned on. I also pressed the volume key as long as the sound wouldn't get louder. Did anyone else face this problem? And what can I do to get back ma usable degree of volume? Thanks!

RE: Downcast vs iOS Podcast Client
You can't subscribe to podcasts with just the URL with the Podcasts app from apple, which is a huge deal breaker for me, at least I don't think you can. If you can, I'll gladly give it another shot, but for now, I'll stick with the superior downcast. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Neil Barnfather - TalkNav Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2012 7:23 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com; The Accessible Phones Discussion List Subject: Downcast vs iOS Podcast Client All, There has been some discussion of late as to which is better, Downcast or the default iOS Podcast client from Apple.

RE: Downcast vs iOS Podcast Client
Hello, I have not used the apple podcatcher. The thing I like about downcast is that I can import mp3s into it, and it treats the imported files as a podcast. This functionality is useful to me because Minnesota's agency for the blind has a radio reading service whose daisy books are recorded using mp3 files for the audio component. I can bring the mp3 files into downcast, which saves me having to buy a separate app for reading daisy books. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Neil Barnfather - TalkNav Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2012 7:23 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com; The Accessible Phones Discussion List Subject: Downcast vs iOS Podcast Client All, There has been some discussion of late as to which is better, Downcast or the default iOS Podcast client from Apple.

I, like you would much prefer a generated tone so you could 0-beat the 2 frequencies which would be much faster but the cents flat or sharp approach probably is more useful for the average user for whom it works well. I haven't found a tone generator yet for the IPhone. By the way, I tried getting the ClearTune but it doesn't work for a blind person. Can't tell you what it uses because it doesn't talk. I suppose it works with a sine wave or something like that. I still believe that, for the piano, you are better off using your intervals to set your tempered scale. I make life a little easier by using a 4 note stand alone tone generator which I purchased several years ago. It makes it faster than a single tuning fork.

Re: Verizon iPhone 5
Are you sure it is not the way Verizon does this for the 4s? That is, you can get it unlocked for free but only for international use. I've used my Verizon 4s quite well in Asia with a local sim card. When you do that I always see in the notification center that location services is on.

Re: Verizon iPhone 5
Hi, Apparently this is the case. Verizon is shipping it already unlocked and you can use it on ATT's and T-Mobile networks. Here's the caveat though. When you use it on the US carriers GSM networks you will only get HTSPA speeds. No LTE. So buyer be ware.

Not crazy about iOS 6 new touch type mode.
Hi all, I sent the following request to Apple, trying to be as clear as I could. If you agree with my disagreement, I would like you to do the same with your own words. Thanks. Dear Apple team, This new iOS version is great, but I would like to point out some unpleasant issues with its revised touch typing mode. 1, It was a good move to give touch typing behaviour to keys such as capital or other but not for the delete key. let me try and explain why. In the previous iOS version, you could delete characters successively by holding the delete key and split tapping as many times as you wanted. You had full control of your delete speed because no matter where the second finger was typing, the delete function was performed as long as the delete key was held. Now, with iOS six, you must be very careful and accurate if you want to delete successive characters, as you have to constantly hit and release the delete key. The new delete double tap and hold function is too quick to let you hear the feedback of what you are deleting, so it is unusable most of the time. My wish is that the delete key was restored as it was in previous iOS versions. The second disadvantage is for non-English- users who use accented letters frequently. It is true that keyboard latency has been improved because of this, but it is now impossible to briefly hit a key and then double tap and hold it to get its alternative characters. You now have to do three gestures, find the right letter, split tap, and then double tap and hold to look for accents. May I suggest if possible, that you give us the accents list as soon as split tapping is performed, allowing us to scroll through it by sliding the second finger, that would be much easyer. Thank you for your understanding, sincerely, Jean-Philippe http://www.facebook.com/jprykiel http://myspace.com/jeanphilipperykiel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

So, this message serves to inform those who on the other side of the fence, may not yet have used Podcast from Apple. Features: Fully automate and configure download parameters for individual podcasts, choose what is downloaded, choose what is kept, e.g. all, unplayed, last x etc. playback speed, half, normal, 1.5x, 2x and 3x adjust display mode, newest at top or oldest at top choose playback order, newest first or oldest first, separate command from above full Apple iTunes selection of podcasts an information. download over 3G or WiFi only. Oh, fully Voice Over usable and by the way, podcasts can be played / controlled with Siri, which is not a feature of Downcast. I think that covers it all, I'm still awaiting something that Downcast can do over this feature set, please do not mention the 5x speed option, surely no-one listens at that speed? Am I seriously missing something, or not? Many thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Apple Podcast gone.
Hello Kawal, I agree the the Apple Podcast app still needs some work, but it is slowly getting better and you can download Podcasts very easily with this app. I just searched for the Today in iOS podcast and subscribed to it. After that all episodes are listed, in fact, they are listed already when you find the Podcast even without subscribing. Anyhow, if you flick right there is a download button after each episode, double tap it and it will download and correctly announce both the amount of data that has downloaded as well as the total size of the download and the download button itself indicates the download percentage. After the episode has downloaded there is a More Info button which has the show notes and you can mark the episode as played in there, you can change the settings for the entire Podcast if you double tap on the Podcast name or the More Info button next to the name. You can turn subscription off for the Podcast here, a feature which I think actually does not exist in Downcast, you can set your auto download options, e.g. keep all unplayed, keep the 2 most recent etc. You can also indicate the sort order, newest first or oldest first and the play order, oldest to newest or newest to oldest. Also you can mark all as played or all as unplayed. I was hoping that you can delete Podcasts with the new single finger flick down gesture and then double tap to confirm, i.e. that the Action rotor option works, but they have not yet added this although I would dare to say that I can't see this being far away. For the time being you can delete in the old way, do a double tap and hold (pass through gesture), then swipe left to right across the Podcast you want to delete and a Confirm Deletion button pops up. This is like you would delete music before the new Action rotor setting was added. In short, it's not so bad any more and I could see that this app after another 2 or 3 updates will definitely be interesting especially if SIRI integration is improved which still seems to be a bit sporatic.

RE: Verizon iPhone 5
Hello Keith, That is surprising since I just listened to the latest Today in iOS Podcast and Rob confirmed that while there was only one iPhone 4S which worked both on CDMA and GSM carriers, there are now once again 3 iPhone 5 models, a CDMA version for Verizon and Sprint and a carrier in Japan and 2 different GSM models, one for ATT, Rogers, Telus and Bell in North America and another one for European, Australian and New Zealand and some Asian carriers. Apparently the difference here is in the LTE and he said there will most likely be another one or 2 iPhone 5 models for China. I don't really understand the whole locking to a carrier thing anyways. After all, if I for example buy a subsidized iPhone from Telus here in Canada where I have to sign up for a 3-year contract to get the full subsidy, why don't they just give me an unlocked phone and sign me up for a 3-year contract. Then if after a year I decide to go to ?Rogers they would just say that I haven't fulfilled my contract and impose a stiff penalty which means I most likely wouldn't do it and even if I did Telus would be paid what I owe them for the phone. After all, I can break the contract now and pay whatever penalty they impose and once I have done this and am off the contract I can ask them for an official unlock.

What happened to the speaker volume control
Hi all, A second request sent to Apple accessibility, join me if you want. I noticed something strange after installing iOS six on my iPhone. during a phonecall, it is now impossible to decrease the speaker volume below a certain point with the side buttons. The problem with that, is that the balance between voice-over and the sound coming from the line is such that you cannot use voice-over anymore to guide you through the keyboard, if you need to use touchtone during your call for example. I really hope something can be done about this. best, JPR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Verizon iPhone 5
Hi, The GSM frequencies used in the US version of the CDMA phones, i.e. Verizon and Sprint, are for those outside the US. It's not a true Tri-band World phone. So when you insert a micro sim for either ATT or T-Mobile you are only going to run on their GSM networks and not the LTE network. The LTE radio in the Verizon phone is for their network, not other networks.

Apparently the difference here is in the LTE and he said there will most likely be another one or 2 iPhone 5 models for China. I don't really understand the whole locking to a carrier thing anyways. After all, if I for example buy a subsidized iPhone from Telus here in Canada where I have to sign up for a 3-year contract to get the full subsidy, why don't they just give me an unlocked phone and sign me up for a 3-year contract. Then if after a year I decide to go to ?Rogers they would just say that I haven't fulfilled my contract and impose a stiff penalty which means I most likely wouldn't do it and even if I did Telus would be paid what I owe them for the phone. After all, I can break the contract now and pay whatever penalty they impose and once I have done this and am off the contract I can ask them for an official unlock.

Re: Problem with rington.
Hi John, What I have done is tried another ringtone that I bought around the same time and assigned that to home, so I called my mobile from the home phone and that worked, then I tried the ringtone which I wanted for my friend and did the same thing, assigned it to home and it worked. I tried a different ringtone for the person I wanted it to be assigned to and that person called on the mobile but it went back to the default setting. Its something to do with ringing from mobile to mobile because it doesn't seem to work with different ringtones and we both have the same iphone it has just all come to light since the update the other day.

RE: Not crazy about iOS 6 new touch type mode.
Hello Jean-Philippe, I agree that typing accented characters seems a bit awkward, but I certainly don't agree with you on the delete key issue. You can delete quickly by repeatedly tapping and lifting your finger off the delete key, if you do it fast enough you just hear the letters you are deleting just like I would if I press the backspace or delete key quickly on my computer. Takes a bit of practice since you do have to lift up and put down again exactly on the delete key. What would be nice is if Apple could keep things the way they are with the delete key and in addition to that re-enable split tapping just for the delete key since for Shift and More Numbers the touch typing method is vastly better than having to double tap or split tap. Not quite sure yet what to think about the accented character thing, I have to play around with it some more. Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jean-Philippe Rykiel Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2012 8:05 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Not crazy about iOS 6 new touch type mode. Hi all, I sent the following request to Apple, trying to be as clear as I could. If you agree with my disagreement, I would like you to do the same with your own words. Thanks. Dear Apple team, This new iOS version is great, but I would like to point out some unpleasant issues with its revised touch typing mode. 1, It was a good move to give touch typing behaviour to keys such as capital or other but not for the delete key. let me try and explain why. In the previous iOS version, you could delete characters successively by holding the delete key and split tapping as many times as you wanted. You had full control of your delete speed because no matter where the second finger was typing, the delete function was performed as long as the delete key was held. Now, with iOS six, you must be very careful and accurate if you want to delete successive characters, as you have to constantly hit and release the delete key. The new delete double tap and hold function is too quick to let you hear the feedback of what you are deleting, so it is unusable most of the time. My wish is that the delete key was restored as it was in previous iOS versions. The second disadvantage is for non-English- users who use accented letters frequently. It is true that keyboard latency has been improved because of this, but it is now impossible to briefly hit a key and then double tap and hold it to get its alternative characters. You now have to do three gestures, find the right letter, split tap, and then double tap and hold to look for accents. May I suggest if possible, that you give us the accents list as soon as split tapping is performed, allowing us to scroll through it by sliding the second finger, that would be much easyer.

Re: Not crazy about iOS 6 new touch type mode.
I cannot comment on the issue pertaining to alternative characters; however, I see nothing wrong with how the delete key behaves now. I can hear each character being deleted . So, either I do not understand or you are experiencing something different. I surely disliked the split tap method for deleting characters, but worked with it. Now I think delete is so much more natural for me.

Anyway, that wasn't the problem, but now of course, when I unlock my phone and am prompted to enter in my four digit code, VO announces what I'm typing. This kind of defeats the purpose. At home it's not an issue, but when I'm out and about or around people whoever they may be, what's the point since my code is announced to anyone keen enough to hear? I know that Apple just couldn't have had VoiceOver say star, star, star, star or asterisc, asterisc, asterisc, asterisc for every number we press since we would then have no idea if we're pressing the right key combination or not. My question is if there's in fact some other means to protect our four digit code from being announced in a way where it's not broadcasted to the four winds whenever we wish to unlock our device? I poke around the settings and didn't find anything if there was anything at all. I guess enabling a dial pad feature to recreate the tones when making a call could be a solution, but those tones are so subtle, it really takes a trained ear to differentiate them from one another.

iOS 6 and Bluetooth part of Settings
Hello all. Is anyone noticing focus issues when going in the Bluetooth part of settings. For example, if you double tap bluetooth off to turn it on, does VoiceOver repeat the previous state, rather than or as well as the new state? Does your VoiceOver also lose focus using the swiping gestures? It's no big issue, but just wondering that is all. Thanks so much! Take care.

RE: Downcast vs iOS Podcast Client
Hi Neil, Is there a way to delete all episodes? I have not found that, but I agree with ?Alvin, in Downcast if you mark episodes as played they are not visible unless you tap on Show More Episodes or whatever it's called exactly. I may not want to delete an episode because what happens if I want to go back to an earlier episode to find something again. I am able to delete single episodes in Today in iOS Podcast by doing the pass through gesture and then swiping across them left to right similar to how you would delete songs prior to the Action rotor, the Action rotor is not yet implemented in Podcasts. In any case, if I have to delete one episode at a time how long am I supposed to delete stuff, there are now 241 episodes of Today in iOS and what if you are a new subscriber to another Podcast with hundreds of episodes? I guess it's not that big a deal to have them all listed there, but then again if other apps can hide them that means it can be done. Apple claims they want to have the best Podcast app there is and it's not like they didn't have plenty to compare it to. It's sort of like with the new Maps, they make a big deal about a new product and then it falls way short of what people expect and is launched with lots of problems or incomplete features. And with Maps I can see how it would be a huge job, not exactly the case with a Podcast app. Regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Neil Barnfather - TalkNav Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2012 8:21 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Downcast vs iOS Podcast Client you already can, well not hide them, but delete them. just press the more button at the top of the podcast in question.

In International you can change the following settings independently from each other: Language: this is the default language used by Voiceover Voice Control: this is the language you set for SIRI or stand-along voice dialing Keyboards: here you can select multiple keyboards and order them in the same way you can order the voices in the language rotor. I just use the main English keyboard and the Emoji keyboard to have easy access to emoticons. By the way, just noticed you can delete items here by flicking down, i.e. the new actions rotor works here. Region Format: Here you can select your country and this determines how your date and time is formatted/displayed. If you change this and then flick past the Calendar setting you find a region Format Example which displays how the date, time and phone numbers are formatted. I am in Canada, so I have the voice set to just English which means I use the Samantha HQ voice, I have SIRI set to English Canada and the region format also to Canada although I think that is pretty much the same as US. However, if you are in England and want to use Samantha I don't see why you can't select English as the language instead of British English, then set SIRI to English UK to make she understands your limy accent *smile* and the region format to United Kingdom.

Re: Weird behavior with voice over after updating
No. Perhaps it does not do it during the setup assistant which you must complete as part of the final stages of the updating process. All you do is set your language, enable or disable location services, sign in with your Apple ID for iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, and that's it.

Voiceover and background noises
Hello, since updating to iOS 6, I have the impression that voiceover can't deal with background noises as well as it used to do. For example, I have baby adopter installed and was amazed by the fact that the volume of the background music was automatically adjusted to voiceover's volume. When voiceover was speaking, the volume was turned down a bit and the other way round. On iOS 6, this seems to be messed up completely. When touching the screen, the music and other sounds of the app are paused for a moment. It all seems to run much less smoothly than before. Another thing I noticed was the strange sound when sending a message with WhatsApp. This sound was very distinct and clear before, but now it sounds as if it is muffled somehow. Another thing I noticed is the fact that the sound you hear when starting and finishing dictation is very quiet. The old sounds with the adjusted volume just sounded much more natural. To cut it short: As long as you are working with voiceover and with no background noises, everything sounds fine. The misbalance only starts when voiceover and other sounds come together. Do you face the same issue? Or do you know how you can get kind of an acoustic balance between speech output and other sounds?

Try this and maybe plug your headset in and unplug it a couple of times. If that doesn't help you could try a hard reset (hold down the Home Key and Power Button at the same time and count to 12 or so). This should reboot the phone, it may take some time to come back on, if it doesn't after about 2 minutes give the Power Button a single firm press to turn the phone back on and wait another 30 or 40 seconds (boot time depends on whether you have an iPhone 4S or a 4).

RE: Downcast vs iOS Podcast Client
Hi Neil, in addition to what others have said, I prefer downcast because: There is great playlist management, giving you the ability to customise the podcasts that are played back to back. Podcast speed can be set on a podcast by podcast basis and retained. Volume can be boosted on a podcast by podcast basis and retained. I find this really good because some podcasts are recorded at quite a low level. Continuous play behaviour can be set on a podcast by podcast basis. When podcasts are behind a username and password, Downcast can log in. If you want the description of an episode, in the Apple app, you have to tap the more info button for each and every episode, whereas Downcast speaks this info right on the screen as you review. And finally, you can engage with the author of Downcast on Twitter. He listens and makes changes based on user feedback. Not sure if the Apple podcasts app supports sharing the episodes you are listening to on Twitter and Facebook complete with a link that actually plays the episode, but I like this about Downcast too.

I have not found that, but I agree with ?Alvin, in Downcast if you mark episodes as played they are not visible unless you tap on Show More Episodes or whatever it's called exactly. I may not want to delete an episode because what happens if I want to go back to an earlier episode to find something again. I am able to delete single episodes in Today in iOS Podcast by doing the pass through gesture and then swiping across them left to right similar to how you would delete songs prior to the Action rotor, the Action rotor is not yet implemented in Podcasts. In any case, if I have to delete one episode at a time how long am I supposed to delete stuff, there are now 241 episodes of Today in iOS and what if you are a new subscriber to another Podcast with hundreds of episodes? I guess it's not that big a deal to have them all listed there, but then again if other apps can hide them that means it can be done. Apple claims they want to have the best Podcast app there is and it's not like they didn't have plenty to compare it to. It's sort of like with the new Maps, they make a big deal about a new product and then it falls way short of what people expect and is launched with lots of problems or incomplete features. And with Maps I can see how it would be a huge job, not exactly the case with a Podcast app. Regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Neil Barnfather - TalkNav Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2012 8:21 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Downcast vs iOS Podcast Client you already can, well not hide them, but delete them. just press the more button at the top of the podcast in question.

Having an accented o and ñ in my first and last name, I have to access the alternative accented characters in the keyboard all the time. It’s easy enough by tapping the n or o as an example and split tapping on the keyboard somewhere else and after that, you can lift your finger and drag it around or flick left or right as if you were in standard typing mode and press and hold on the letter with the alternative characters till you hear the three chimes. Which at that point you can drag your finger to the left or right depending on which character you’re on to select the particular accent or umlaut or whatever other variation is available. The same holds true when you’re in the numbers or symbols part of the keyboard and you want to use the inverted exxlamation or question mark if writing in Spanish for example. Really, it’s not that big a deal. I for a time had international keyboards on my device, but got rid of them since I can access any alternative characters through this method without having to bother with switching back and forth between layouts.

Hello Jean-Philippe, I agree that typing accented characters seems a bit awkward, but I certainly don’t agree with you on the delete key issue. You can delete quickly by repeatedly tapping and lifting your finger off the delete key, if you do it fast enough you just hear the letters you are deleting just like I would if I press the backspace or delete key quickly on my computer. Takes a bit of practice since you do have to lift up and put down again exactly on the delete key. What would be nice is if Apple could keep things the way they are with the delete key and in addition to that re-enable split tapping just for the delete key since for Shift and More Numbers the touch typing method is vastly better than having to double tap or split tap. Not quite sure yet what to think about the accented character thing, I have to play around with it some more. Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jean-Philippe Rykiel Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2012 8:05 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Not crazy about iOS 6 new touch type mode. Hi all, I sent the following request to Apple, trying to be as clear as I could. If you agree with my disagreement, I would like you to do the same with your own words. Thanks. Dear Apple team, This new iOS version is great, but I would like to point out some unpleasant issues with its revised touch typing mode. 1, It was a good move to give touch typing behaviour to keys such as capital or other but not for the delete key. let me try and explain why. In the previous iOS version, you could delete characters successively by holding the delete key and split tapping as many times as you wanted. You had full control of your delete speed because no matter where the second finger was typing, the delete function was performed as long as the delete key was held. Now, with iOS six, you must be very careful and accurate if you want to delete successive characters, as you have to constantly hit and release the delete key. The new delete double tap and hold function is too quick to let you hear the feedback of what you are deleting, so it is unusable most of the time. My wish is that the delete key was restored as it was in previous iOS versions. The second disadvantage is for non-English- users who use accented letters frequently. It is true that keyboard latency has been improved because of this, but it is now impossible to briefly hit a key and then double tap and hold it to get its alternative characters. You now have to do three gestures, find the right letter, split tap, and then double tap and hold to look for accents. May I suggest if possible, that you give us the accents list as soon as split tapping is performed, allowing us to scroll through it by sliding the second finger, that would be much easyer. Thank you for your understanding, sincerely, Jean-Philippe http://www.facebook.com/jprykiel http://myspace.com/jeanphilipperykiel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Email deletion
I an not sure if this was the problem with email, so if I missed the point forgive, please. I opened email, moved to a post several posts down on the page, and deleted. It put me right back on the nest post. The problem comes is you open the thread and want to not read say the first four emails but want to read the fifth. You can open the fifth email, but if tie you then go back to the list of posts is does not focus on the post you just read. I really love the new mail! However, I tend to delete threads I will not understand so I can do that on the opening page. Reggie and Brooks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: What happened to the speaker volume control
Is this because vo is too loud or too low? HOw about adding VO volume in the rotar settings and playing around with that?

I noticed something strange after installing iOS six on my iPhone. during a phonecall, it is now impossible to decrease the speaker volume below a certain point with the side buttons. The problem with that, is that the balance between voice-over and the sound coming from the line is such that you cannot use voice-over anymore to guide you through the keyboard, if you need to use touchtone during your call for example. I really hope something can be done about this. best, JPR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Mark On iPhone 5 and 4 S
Mark, Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed the power drain issue, I have found my iPhone5 drains definitely much quicker than my 4S did. To check whether it was the phone or iOS6, I used my 4S running iOS6 for a day, definitely iOS6 I came to the conclusion. On 22 Sep 2012, at 20:39, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu wrote: Hello Everyone, Yesterday, at 4:30am I was in a line at my local A T T Wireless store. I was 32nd in line. It was dark as the sun was not out but pleasant. I Learned that the first person in line had gotten their at 8:00pm the previous night. The store opened at 8:00am sharp and, surprisingly, I was in the store by 8:20am. I was all set to purchase a black 64GB iPhone 5. While the sales person was reviewing my account, etc, I took a look at the display model of the device. I held it next to my 4 S and, after turning VoiceOver on, began comparing various tests such as startup time, shutdown time, display scrolling, sound quality, etc. I was truly disappointed in what I discovered. I told the sales person to hold my iPhone 5 and help another customer while I spent some time with iPHone 5. I spent a total of 2 hours exploring the device. In the end, I decided not to buy the phone at this time, given that I am not eligible for the full upgrade discount and the facts that I could see no discernible different in phone speed between the 5 and the 4 S. Both the sales person and I were surprised at my decision. As I left the store, I expected to feel a pang of regret at not buying iPhone 5. To date, no such regret has been experienced (smile). One thing I've noticed since upgrading to iOS 6.0 on my 4 S, however, is the massive drain on battery power in comparison to iOS 5.x. Now this could be a game changer but not quite yet. I think I will wait to see if they fix this battery drain issue in the next/first update to iOS 6.0. If they do, great; if not, then I will definitely purchase iPhone 5. Congratulations to all you who have iPHone 5, it is truly the best device made by Apple, so far. I may join your number but, at present, I am content to remain a lowly iPhone 4 S man (Smile).

Revisiting list recorder
Two questions. What is the gesture to get a check mark on an item? Can I put items in lists by typing then instead of recording them? I know everyone is excited about the new iPhone and the updates, but any help with these questions would be appreciated. Smiled. By the way, vo does not just turn off when both home and power button are held, had to reset my triple tap find home. Glad I sound out inadvertently as I would probably panicked again. Lol.
