Re: [New post] 'Shockingly bad' Google Android 5.0 Lollipop update bricks phones, tablets; kills apps
There is total sales in dollars and by unit. Which are we talking about here? Thanks. - Original Message - From: Christopher Chaltain chalt...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2014 11:08 AM Subject: Re: [New post] 'Shockingly bad' Google Android 5.0 Lollipop update bricks phones, tablets; kills apps One of the pages where IDC shows smart phone market share year to year going back to 2011 is http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-market-share.jsp It does show market share for Samsung slipping and being taken up by other Android competitors. This data is three or four months old, so I wouldn't be surprise if Samsung market share has slipped a bit more to LG and HTC. It also doesn't take into account yet the iPhone 6, so again I wouldn't be surprised if Apple has picked up a few points recently.

The point about the cheaper phones was actually the one I was trying to make as far as longevity of the product and why the manufacturers want you to buy or will give the cheaper devices for free. It also ties into market share because Apple is one of the few companies that only counts sold products as sales numbers. Samsung and many other companies count items shipped as sales totals. There is a big difference in the numbers shipped to stores and the product actually sold to end users. Ask Microsoft about the Zune ... Include the freebies and the Android market is rather distorted overall. Lastly, I'm not sure what numbers you are reading, but Apple has been gaining overall market share in the handset arena, especially overseas, while Samsung is actually losing. In fact, they are now being out sold by another company in their own country. There last couple of devices have been busts. Sorry, but I can't go digging for numbers and stats at the moment.

Android will run on much lower end phones than your iPhone, and manufacturers are producing very cheal and low end smart phones running Android. These are the phones that are being given away for free and these are the phones that are being returned. You get what you pay for, and being able to offer low end smart phones to people who can't afford Apple products is a good thing. You can't compare these phones to the high end Android phones or the iPhone though. I'm also not sure about your statement that Apple is out selling all other devices out there. According to IDC, Samsung has had a larger share of the smart phone market than Apple since 2011. This coincides with when Tim Cook took over, so I'm not sure what marketing data you're referring to when you say that it proves that Tim Cook isn't leading Apple down the path to destruction. BTW, I don't think Tim Cook is spear heading the demise of Apple. Obviously, the fact that Apple doesn't play in the low end space and didn't embrace larger phones until recently were decisions that were made long before Tim Cook took over. Actually, I don't think things are spinning out of control at Apple at all. I think it's a lot of hype generated by the media and bloggers, although I do think Apple should have embrace more form factors, including a larger screen size earlier. I also think breaking into the low end market would be a good move for Apple, but they'd have to do it without soiling Apple's image of putting out high end quality devices. Of course, there are much smarter people at Apple looking at these things, and who am I to second guess one of the wealthiest and most successful companies ever.

There is no one size fits all solution when it comes to accessibility and I think most iOS users realize that. They choose iOS because it is easy to use and its progressing and despite its bugs, it still gives us just about the same access as our sighted friends and family with little fuss or concern over what particular device can run what particular version of iOS.

RE: importing music into an itunes play list
Ok, If you create a new playlist, and name it whatever you want. Then,Go to the folder in Windows on your PC and control C to copy either the folder, or selected files that you want in that playlist. Now in iTunes, Make sure that playlist is in view, and if you tab through, you should (in iTunes 12), hear add to playlist button, tab again and you should hear that the playlist has zero items, another tab should just say read only. This is where you want to paste. . There should be something that says something like, click the add to playlist. If you get there you are one tab too far. iTunes may be unresponsive for a while if there are a bunch of songs. If it is not unresponsive, it didn’t paste. If it is, just be patient and your files will be in that playlist, and be added to the main iTunes library.

Reminder apps question.
Hello list, This questioncomes to my mind when I saw a tweet that Things app is free for limited time. I'm just wondering what makes people use additional apps on their i-devices. As far as I know, Iphone and Ipad have built-in app called reminder which will notify us about things to do or we can put events in calendar app. Hovewer, many people use additional apps and some of them are not free, which, of course does not matter at all, because if there is an app for a reasonable price I have no problem to pay for it. I know there are a few reminder apps that people like. But why do people prefer using those apps when we have the built-in reminder? Please, don't take me wrong I don't mean to criticise you for using one app or another, I just want to hear your opinions (what app do you use, what you like/dislike (advantages/disadvantages, positives/negatives) about built-in reminder and other apps you prefer. It might be that there are things I don't know about these apps and I might start using additional app to make my life easier. :-) I have days when I do not switch on my laptop for various reasons. Of course I stil have my iphone with me which lets me do many things such as reading books, listening to the radio/music/podcasts, checking mails, Facebook, Twitter, playing games and other things - checking bus/train schedules, finding the nearest restaurant, or taxi...,shopping and built-in reminder app and some others I cannot remember right now. :-) I hope I will hear your opinions and feel free to mention the apps of any kind (not just reminders) which you like to use and which makes your life easier. Have a nice Sunday. With kind regards Maria -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Hi All, I am getting ready to upgrade my iPhone from a 4s to something newer. If I make an encrypted backup of my current device, then I restore to my new (as yet unpurchased so I don't know what model) device, will my contacts be restored along with all the rest of my data?

Which On-demand Streaming Music Service Works Best with VoiceOver?
Hello, everyone. I am currently evaluating Spotify, TIDAL, and Rhapsody, three streaming music services. All of them work with VoiceOver more or less, but it may be that none of them works perfectly. TIDAL mentions VoiceOver support in its product description on the Apple App Store. I'm curious to learn which service you have found to be the most VoiceOver-accessible. Can you name VoiceOver-related problems that a particular service has? Please note that I am not interested in any music service that does not allow for a specific track to be played on demand.

This data is three or four months old, so I wouldn't be surprise if Samsung market share has slipped a bit more to LG and HTC. It also doesn't take into account yet the iPhone 6, so again I wouldn't be surprised if Apple has picked up a few points recently.

The point about the cheaper phones was actually the one I was trying to make as far as longevity of the product and why the manufacturers want you to buy or will give the cheaper devices for free. It also ties into market share because Apple is one of the few companies that only counts sold products as sales numbers. Samsung and many other companies count items shipped as sales totals. There is a big difference in the numbers shipped to stores and the product actually sold to end users. Ask Microsoft about the Zune ... Include the freebies and the Android market is rather distorted overall. Lastly, I'm not sure what numbers you are reading, but Apple has been gaining overall market share in the handset arena, especially overseas, while Samsung is actually losing. In fact, they are now being out sold by another company in their own country. There last couple of devices have been busts. Sorry, but I can't go digging for numbers and stats at the moment.

Android will run on much lower end phones than your iPhone, and manufacturers are producing very cheal and low end smart phones running Android. These are the phones that are being given away for free and these are the phones that are being returned. You get what you pay for, and being able to offer low end smart phones to people who can't afford Apple products is a good thing. You can't compare these phones to the high end Android phones or the iPhone though. I'm also not sure about your statement that Apple is out selling all other devices out there. According to IDC, Samsung has had a larger share of the smart phone market than Apple since 2011. This coincides with when Tim Cook took over, so I'm not sure what marketing data you're referring to when you say that it proves that Tim Cook isn't leading Apple down the path to destruction. BTW, I don't think Tim Cook is spear heading the demise of Apple. Obviously, the fact that Apple doesn't play in the low end space and didn't embrace larger phones until recently were decisions that were made long before Tim Cook took over. Actually, I don't think things are spinning out of control at Apple at all. I think it's a lot of hype generated by the media and bloggers, although I do think Apple should have embrace more form factors, including a larger screen size earlier. I also think breaking into the low end market would be a good move for Apple, but they'd have to do it without soiling Apple's image of putting out high end quality devices. Of course, there are much smarter people at Apple looking at these things, and who am I to second guess one of the wealthiest and most successful companies ever.

Apparently yes, but it is using USB 2.0 instead of the current 3.0 speed and for the price, some feel it should be using the latest technology especially since it is brand new.

I just read in a 9 to 5 Mac review that iStick uses its own ap to access the stick. You have to transfer files from apps like Pages using the open with another app feature. You can't send multiple files at one time. Then the question becomes, Is the iStick app Voice Over friendly? I would hate to pay the high prices to find out that it is not.

RE: iStick: USB Flash Drive with Lightning for iPhone and iPad
I don't think that is how these drives work. Yes, you can transfer pictures, videos, music and so on from your computer to the device, but as far as I know that data will only be available to the iStick or iXpand apps and has to be consumed so to speak with these apps. Of course we also don't know fi these apps are even accessible. I think it would be the other developers like Winston from Voice Dream who would have to program his app to maybe grab files from the iStick just like it is when you import an audio book from Dropbox.

Re: Which On-demand Streaming Music Service Works Best with VoiceOver?
I haven't tried Tidal. Spotify seems to be a good deal more accessible than Rhapsody, and has more of a selection of music. The only really tricky thing about Rhapsody is that you have to do a three-finger swipe to the previous page when you open the main menu. You can't do the common Voiceover swipe gesture for that.

As Robyn has said, the battery life is enough of a reason in itself. Being able to crank up GPS, music, and other apps when you're away from a power source for a long time and not have to worry about running out of juice is liberating. If you are a Braille user, you may also like the fact that the larger screen makes Braille screen input a breeze, and I think the larger screen also helps for direct touch typing. Both of these options mean I use my external Bluetooth keyboard hardly ever now. KNFB Reader have said on Twitter that the 6 Plus is the best phone to use with it right now because of optical image stabilisation. This is particularly the case if you have issues keeping the camera totally steady when taking a picture. It's also very fast, but of course, so is the 6. I wouldn't like to return to a smaller phone, and hope Apple keeps a device in this screen size in future. Definitely get your hands on one before buying if you can though.

Spotify and Tidal both work pretty well on iOS, but Spotify on the Mac is unusable without a bit of vision. Tidal gives you lossless audio which you probably already know, but I haven't tried it on the Mac or PC yet.

Re: I want to select, copy and paste a facebook status of a friend in to my own status but don't know how
Have you tried sharing your friend's status? Otherwise, in order to select and copy, it's easiest to do the Voiceover copy gesture, which is a three-finger-quadruple-tap once you've focused on the status. You may have to delete a word or two that Voiceover puts in, like selected, etc. Or you can turn your rotor to lines and then slowly spread your fingers apart to select text, then turn the rotor to edit and copy it, then paste it in your status.

Re: seeking advice on purchase of first iphone
Dear Susan, As my article mentions, the first step in joining the iPhone tribe is in learning about the coverage and reliability of the wireless service in your area, the area to which you are moving, and the places where you visit frequently. A family member’s relationship with ATT may be a perfect fit for them. It may not be for you, particularly if you live or travel to places the other person does not. Once you have figured out if all, some or none of the four national wireless networks have consistent and reliable coverage, it is then time to focus on prices. T-Mobile has low-priced plans, although these are not advertised and not available in stores. The deals come for the other three carriers when resellers buy data and airtime in bulk at a deep discount and resell it at very low prices. A just released survey by Consumer Reports found high dissatisfaction with the major national carriers but high customer satisfaction levels from the resellers. You can enjoy nearly all the benefits from the sprint, ATT or Verizon networks at one-half to one third of the cost of what most of those customers pay. True, the resellers do not offer the roaming the big boys offer, but unless you plan to go to sparsely populated areas regularly, like the upper peninsula of Michigan or northern Nevada, it is not an issue for most people. The 5S will cost less, but it is important to realize that iPhones essentially have an expiration date. This is because the iOS software and apps will no longer be useful long before the solidly built and well-manufacture iPhone breaks and cannot be repaired. If the iPhone is kept in a hard shell case and away from water, the hardware will last for many years. Apple stops supporting iPhones after about four years from first release. If Apple maintains past practices, the 5S will receive its last major iOS in 2017 and will not take new updates starting in fall 2018. You will pay more for the iPhone 6, but you will have a year longer of use along with a better camera for OCR on the fly and Apple Pay, which could be a much bigger thing in the future.

Family members not the phone company are responsible for divvying up the bill and paying the primary account holder what they owe. Each line has a two-year contract. If you are moving in a year, you should be certain of the ATT coverage for your new area as it might be expensive to back out of a contract. Different parts of the country usually have great service from one or two carriers but not another. It would not surprise me to learn that you may be moving from an area with good ATT coverage to an area with poor coverage. Inconsistent service quality from local area to local area is common with the national carriers. If you have WIFI at home, download the app updates, NLS books, and other big files on WIFI. You will rarely need more than one gig of data. If you are looking for inexpensive plans, consider the $30 T-Mobile plan for unlimited data and text and 100 voice minutes. Free calling apps like Vonage and Magic Jack can bridge the difference for most people. Ting, which uses the Sprint network, also offers a $30 plan. I wrote the article ‘iPhone on the Cheap” on AppleVis. The most expensive part of owning an iPhone is the cost of monthly service, not the phone itself. In researching the article, I found that most people bought much more service than what they needed or used. It was as if most people were buying a shopping cart full of great food each month only to throw three quarters of it away uneaten. Essentially, they are paying a lot of money for wireless service they will never need. Save the money and boost your independent digital lifestyle even more with some cool apps, brilliant new technology or anything else that makes your life better.

entering pass code with the native Braille app
Hi, all. I came across an interesting little thing. I'm not yet having much luck with the finger print identifier, so I very often have to enter my pass code to unlock my phone. If I enter it on the on-screen keyboard the numbers are announced. If I, however, use the on-screen Braille mode, I just hear the clicks with no number announcement. Very nice if I'm on a bus or out in public somewhere and need to unlock my phone. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the finger print identifier to work more reliably eventually and won't need the pass code, but for now, it's a nice little feature. God bless!

Re: World War
The basic premise is that you are the general of an army in a country of your choosing. You have to deploy your units (infantry, ground, water, air), which costs money. You obtain money by completing missions, and winning battles against other players. Battles are very simple as far as I can tell: if your forces are more powerful than theirs, you win. As you add alliances, you can deploy more and more units to use in your battles. That’s the basics. You can also buy buildings, which give you more defense, or an income flow, where you can get so much money per hour for owning the building. That helps with being able to pay your units. Let me know if you have more questions. If anything you might need help getting past the first screen. But I just turned off voiceover, and tapped around the bottom center.

Re: seeking advice on purchase of first iphone
Ok, so now you've got me curious, I have Verizon this phone I think will only work Verizon, but it works the prepaid verizon too. I pay $49 a month for unlimited text and dtalk, but the data is terrible 500 megs and $10 each extra meg, can someone tell me is there a better plan, and maybe since I can use with no contract phone, does that mean it'd work with another carrier? I believe the problem is Verizon is TDMA, and aren't most others GSM? Eden On 11/23/2014 10:23 AM, Kelly Pierce wrote: Dear Susan, As my article mentions, the first step in joining the iPhone tribe is in learning about the coverage and reliability of the wireless service in your area, the area to which you are moving, and the places where you visit frequently. A family member’s relationship with ATT may be a perfect fit for them. It may not be for you, particularly if you live or travel to places the other person does not. Once you have figured out if all, some or none of the four national wireless networks have consistent and reliable coverage, it is then time to focus on prices. T-Mobile has low-priced plans, although these are not advertised and not available in stores. The deals come for the other three carriers when resellers buy data and airtime in bulk at a deep discount and resell it at very low prices. A just released survey by Consumer Reports found high dissatisfaction with the major national carriers but high customer satisfaction levels from the resellers. You can enjoy nearly all the benefits from the sprint, ATT or Verizon networks at one-half to one third of the cost of what most of those customers pay. True, the resellers do not offer the roaming the big boys offer, but unless you plan to go to sparsely populated areas regularly, like the upper peninsula of Michigan or northern Nevada, it is not an issue for most people. The 5S will cost less, but it is important to realize that iPhones essentially have an expiration date. This is because the iOS software and apps will no longer be useful long before the solidly built and well-manufacture iPhone breaks and cannot be repaired. If the iPhone is kept in a hard shell case and away from water, the hardware will last for many years. Apple stops supporting iPhones after about four years from first release. If Apple maintains past practices, the 5S will receive its last major iOS in 2017 and will not take new updates starting in fall 2018. You will pay more for the iPhone 6, but you will have a year longer of use along with a better camera for OCR on the fly and Apple Pay, which could be a much bigger thing in the future.

Family members not the phone company are responsible for divvying up the bill and paying the primary account holder what they owe. Each line has a two-year contract. If you are moving in a year, you should be certain of the ATT coverage for your new area as it might be expensive to back out of a contract. Different parts of the country usually have great service from one or two carriers but not another. It would not surprise me to learn that you may be moving from an area with good ATT coverage to an area with poor coverage. Inconsistent service quality from local area to local area is common with the national carriers. If you have WIFI at home, download the app updates, NLS books, and other big files on WIFI. You will rarely need more than one gig of data. If you are looking for inexpensive plans, consider the $30 T-Mobile plan for unlimited data and text and 100 voice minutes. Free calling apps like Vonage and Magic Jack can bridge the difference for most people. Ting, which uses the Sprint network, also offers a $30 plan. I wrote the article ‘iPhone on the Cheap” on AppleVis. The most expensive part of owning an iPhone is the cost of monthly service, not the phone itself.

Skype chat commands, was: Perplexing skype problem
Hello David,
I wonder if your issue has to do with the fact that if you use Skype on an
iPhone you will always show as signed in unless you actually go into the
Settings and sign out of your account which of course means everytime you open
the app you have to sign in with your Skype Id and Password. The reason why
this is so has to do with the ability of Skype to deliver push notifications to
your iPhone if somebody sends you a chat. If you want to receive instant
notifications if somebody sends you a text chat, you can close the app and even
remove it from the app switcher, but that won't actually sign you out and any
chats somebody sends will be pushed to your phone. So, keep in mind that if you
use the /RemoteLogout command these push notifications will stop until you use
the Skype app again, but maybe it will help to clear up your status issue,
worth a try anyways.
Having said all this, there is a way to see where you are signed in and, what's
more, to completely sign you out on all devices by using so-called chat
commands in Skype. These are always proceeded by a / (forward slash).
Basically you start a chat (doesn't matter to which contact since they never
see any of what you type as long as it is a valid chat command) and you type in
these commands to get the information or perform certain functions.
I suggest you do this from your PC/laptop and start off with the /ShowPlaces
and /RemoteLogout commands to see where you are signed in and to sign out of
everything so you can start fresh. I am giving examples of this below, but
first some links to articles which give more details what you can do with chat
commands especially if you use group chats.

use in the chat you are in. If it's just a chat with one person there are not
too many options, if it is a group chat /help will show more commands.
Example:
I opened a new chat with one of my contacts and used show places and it told me
I was signed in on my laptop which is called Q7, my iPhone 5S and iPod Touch:
/ShowPlaces
System:
You have 3 online endpoints:
{d69ab989-e628-1d39-e6fb-45d7bd8fee43}) Q7 Windows Skype

Example:
I now typed the /RemoteLogout command. It is not shown in the chat history and
nothing obvious happens, but if you did the /ShowPlaces command first and saw
that you were signed in on multiple devices/end points, you can now see the
effect of /RemoteLogout by typing /ShowPlaces again, here is what it looks like
for me, Before it showed me 3 end points, after the RemoteLogout command it
only shows 1 end point which is the laptop I used since it won't sign you out
of whatever device you are using when you type the commands:
/ShowPlaces
System:
You have 1 online endpoints:

RE: Purchasing KNFB Reader app with a gift card
Hi Wayne, Why not ask whoever might buy a Visa prepaid card to buy you iTunes gift cards instead? Anyhow, if you do get any of the Visa cards, instead of going through all the trouble to try if they work, why not just walk into one of dozens of grocery stores, drug stores, convenience stores, electronics stores and so on where you can use your Visa card to buy an iTunes gift card and then redeem the gift card and use the account credit to buy KNFB Reader. That way if you get more than $100 in total with Visa cards you can just have credit on your account which you can use towards future purchases. iTunes credit will not expire and there is always a new app or maybe a song or album one might want to get.

Very scary moment when updating to 8.1.1
Well, I think I have had my scare for today. I was updating my wife's iPhone 5C to 8.1.1. I updated my phone not long ago. I backed up her phone, took everything out of the app switcher, and rebooted the phone. The update went flawlessly until I got to the very end. I was sitting there thinking how easy they had made this, when all of a sudden I heard the following message. Can no longer connect to this iPhone. Yikes! What to do now. Well, I believe the phone was still booting because soon after that, I heard the vibration and VoiceOver began speaking. My wife doesn't use VoiceOver, but I turn it on when I am working on her phone. So, well done, I thought, that was just a minor glitch. The iPhone began to speak. Problem is, it was speaking in Japanese, or some other similar sounding language I couldn't understand. Double Yikes! What to do now? I suppose I could go figure out how to get to language change on my phone and do the same steps on her phone. Interestingly, the time, battery status, WiFi status was all in English but the message I had to deal with was in that other language. I was just about to put plan B into operation, when, out of the blue, the phone began to speak in English. So, all is well. I bring this up in the hopes that it won't happen to someone else, but in case it does, perhaps waiting for a while will work the same as it did for me. Perhaps I should learn Japanese?

RE: Very scary moment when updating to 8.1.1
Hi Neal, I got the same message when I upgraded an iPod Touch, but not when I upgraded my iPhone. Regardless the iPod Touch rebooted and came up fine. That message in another language is actually normal. Did you upgrade your wife’s 5C from iOS 7 to 8? Normally the “Slide to Setup” message only shows up with a major update, when I updated my iPhone 5S from 8.1 to 8.1.1 I received no message after the update, it just rebooted to the unlock screen, I entered my passcode and that was that. If you do a major update that “Slide to Unlock” message is displayed/read in all sorts of languages and if you keep touching the screen you’ll eventually get it in English.

I backed up her phone, took everything out of the app switcher, and rebooted the phone. The update went flawlessly until I got to the very end. I was sitting there thinking how easy they had made this, when all of a sudden I heard the following message. Can no longer connect to this iPhone. Yikes! What to do now. Well, I believe the phone was still booting because soon after that, I heard the vibration and VoiceOver began speaking. My wife doesn't use VoiceOver, but I turn it on when I am working on her phone. So, well done, I thought, that was just a minor glitch. The iPhone began to speak. Problem is, it was speaking in Japanese, or some other similar sounding language I couldn't understand. Double Yikes! What to do now? I suppose I could go figure out how to get to language change on my phone and do the same steps on her phone. Interestingly, the time, battery status, WiFi status was all in English but the message I had to deal with was in that other language. I was just about to put plan B into operation, when, out of the blue, the phone began to speak in English. So, all is well. I bring this up in the hopes that it won't happen to someone else, but in case it does, perhaps waiting for a while will work the same as it did for me. Perhaps I should learn Japanese?

A family member’s relationship with ATT may be a perfect fit for them. It may not be for you, particularly if you live or travel to places the other person does not. Once you have figured out if all, some or none of the four national wireless networks have consistent and reliable coverage, it is then time to focus on prices. T-Mobile has low-priced plans, although these are not advertised and not available in stores. The deals come for the other three carriers when resellers buy data and airtime in bulk at a deep discount and resell it at very low prices. A just released survey by Consumer Reports found high dissatisfaction with the major national carriers but high customer satisfaction levels from the resellers. You can enjoy nearly all the benefits from the sprint, ATT or Verizon networks at one-half to one third of the cost of what most of those customers pay. True, the resellers do not offer the roaming the big boys offer, but unless you plan to go to sparsely populated areas regularly, like the upper peninsula of Michigan or northern Nevada, it is not an issue for most people. The 5S will cost less, but it is important to realize that iPhones essentially have an expiration date. This is because the iOS software and apps will no longer be useful long before the solidly built and well-manufacture iPhone breaks and cannot be repaired. If the iPhone is kept in a hard shell case and away from water, the hardware will last for many years. Apple stops supporting iPhones after about four years from first release. If Apple maintains past practices, the 5S will receive its last major iOS in 2017 and will not take new updates starting in fall 2018. You will pay more for the iPhone 6, but you will have a year longer of use along with a better camera for OCR on the fly and Apple Pay, which could be a much bigger thing in the future.

Family members not the phone company are responsible for divvying up the bill and paying the primary account holder what they owe. Each line has a two-year contract. If you are moving in a year, you should be certain of the ATT coverage for your new area as it might be expensive to back out of a contract. Different parts of the country usually have great service from one or two carriers but not another. It would not surprise me to learn that you may be moving from an area with good ATT coverage to an area with poor coverage. Inconsistent service quality from local area to local area is common with the national carriers. If you have WIFI at home, download the app updates, NLS books, and other big files on WIFI. You will rarely need more than one gig of data. If you are looking for inexpensive plans, consider the $30 T-Mobile plan for unlimited data and text and 100 voice minutes.

Re: Which On-demand Streaming Music Service Works Best with VoiceOver?
Sure. You can do the Braille command dots 2-4-6-space and that will take you to the search field and other places in the Rhapsody menu. You can also use option-left- or right-arrow on the bluetooth keyboard. We can see with the eyes, but we see with the brain as well, and seeing with the brain is often called imagination.--Oliver Sacks On Nov 23, 2014, at 11:24 AM, Eden Kizer eden...@centurylink.net wrote: so then rhapsody won't be accessible for a person who uses a bluetooth keyboard or the braille device.

Hello, everyone. I am currently evaluating Spotify, TIDAL, and Rhapsody, three streaming music services. All of them work with VoiceOver more or less, but it may be that none of them works perfectly. TIDAL mentions VoiceOver support in its product description on the Apple App Store. I'm curious to learn which service you have found to be the most VoiceOver-accessible. Can you name VoiceOver-related problems that a particular service has? Please note that I am not interested in any music service that does not allow for a specific track to be played on demand. Pandora is an example of a service that does not allow on-demand playing of a track. Thank you for all help. Craig -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
Hi Jonathan. My 6 plus has finally been shipped so quite anxious to get my hands on it. Do you use desktop or away mode when using Braille screen input? It would seem like the size would be perfect for desktop mode but I know some folks prefer away mode. Best regards, Rick Alfaro From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Mosen Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2014 3:26 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus? Hi Christina, yes, I absolutely am loving my 6 Plus. Best phone I've ever owned. As Robyn has said, the battery life is enough of a reason in itself. Being able to crank up GPS, music, and other apps when you're away from a power source for a long time and not have to worry about running out of juice is liberating. If you are a Braille user, you may also like the fact that the larger screen makes Braille screen input a breeze, and I think the larger screen also helps for direct touch typing. Both of these options mean I use my external Bluetooth keyboard hardly ever now. KNFB Reader have said on Twitter that the 6 Plus is the best phone to use with it right now because of optical image stabilisation. This is particularly the case if you have issues keeping the camera totally steady when taking a picture. It's also very fast, but of course, so is the 6. I wouldn't like to return to a smaller phone, and hope Apple keeps a device in this screen size in future. Definitely get your hands on one before buying if you can though. It's not to everyone's taste.

Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?
I often cannot engage Siri and my speech disappears very often. I’m trying to figure out if this is a bug or if this warrants a visit to the apple store. If I am in Safari and I press the home button to engage Siri, I get a tone and then a bong. I cannot use Siri unless I go back to the home screen. Often, I will completely lose speech after using Siri. I also have this same problem when using the messages app. I did a complete restore on my phone and set it up as a new phone. :( The problem is still persisting. I started from scratch just to make sure. I am on a iPhone 5S running the latest iOS version 8.1.1. I am an avid Siri user and this has become a real frustration. I also sometimes cannot engage Siri at all via the home button when I am at the home screen and I have to do a phone restart. I have tried everything that I can think of.

Siri is certainly been inconsistent for me since updating to 8.1.1 also on an iPhone 5S. However, I just tried it with Safari and after a couple failed attempts, it worked like it should.

Re: importing music into an itunes play list
Ah, This wasn't the method I used with some good and some failing results. Is this where I was going wrong the other week, Tom? I simply selected the tracks in Itunes, chose the Add to Playlist option from the context menu, and sometimes it seemed to work and other times it didn't. That seemed the likely method to use to me. Was I in fact trying to copy a shortcut in ITunes and not the file itself?

Then,Go to the folder in Windows on your PC and control C to copy either the folder, or selected files that you want in that playlist. Now in iTunes, Make sure that playlist is in view, and if you tab through, you should (in iTunes 12), hear add to playlist button, tab again and you should hear that the playlist has zero items, another tab should just say read only. This is where you want to paste. . There should be something that says something like, click the add to playlist. If you get there you are one tab too far. iTunes may be unresponsive for a while if there are a bunch of songs. If it is not unresponsive, it didn’t paste.

I want to ask a related question. Thus far, Pandora is the only streaming service which I have played with extensively.

Re: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?
I just had a thought. Try going into settings and turning off Siri. Power off your phone and wait a minute, then power it back on and then go back into settings and turn Siri on again. Once in a while, I've had a setting that wouldn't seem to hold until I did this. Also, can you get Siri respond when using the button on the earphones? The other thought is that there might be an issue with your home button. Also, calling Apple then going to the store makes sense if all else continues to fail. What a drag.

Re: Sprint plans for iPhone
If you take the leasing option for $25 a month for the 64 gig iPhone 6 or, I think $5 a month lower for 16, and 5 more for 128, you can get an unlimited everything plan for $50 a month. I don't know quite why, but you can pay the typical prices up front for a two-year contract for any of them, and you don't get to have the plan for $50. I think it works out about the same over two years whether one did the lease, contract, or an installment plan, but the lease is slightly less expensive per month. - Original Message - From: Devin Prater r.d.t.pra...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2014 4:07 PM Subject: Sprint plans for iPhone Hi all.

Re: Sprint plans for iPhone

Best phone I've ever owned. As Robyn has said, the battery life is enough of a reason in itself. Being able to crank up GPS, music, and other apps when you're away from a power source for a long time and not have to worry about running out of juice is liberating. If you are a Braille user, you may also like the fact that the larger screen makes Braille screen input a breeze, and I think the larger screen also helps for direct touch typing. Both of these options mean I use my external Bluetooth keyboard hardly ever now. KNFB Reader have said on Twitter that the 6 Plus is the best phone to use with it right now because of optical image stabilisation. This is particularly the case if you have issues keeping the camera totally steady when taking a picture. It's also very fast, but of course, so is the 6. I wouldn't like to return to a smaller phone, and hope Apple keeps a device in this screen size in future. Definitely get your hands on one before buying if you can though.

What is that as hadn't heard about it and yes think airplay is enabled on ITunes. So any suggestions. Also have you heard or seen tones being lost or removed after downloading them and installing from purchase from ITunes as just turned my phone back on a few minutes ago and the tones downloaded last night that chose to be my default ring tone and text tone are now gone. Do I need to edit the length of the audio prior to using them as tones even though renamed them to m4r?

Re: Sprint plans for iPhone

Then,Go to the folder in Windows on your PC and control C to copy either the folder, or selected files that you want in that playlist. Now in iTunes, Make sure that playlist is in view, and if you tab through, you should (in iTunes 12), hear add to playlist button, tab again and you should hear that the playlist has zero items, another tab should just say read only.

Re: Sprint plans for iPhone
I just recently got a 6 from them on the lease plan, and being thinner than the Moto X was, the 6 definitely fits in your pocket. Sprint's site isn't the world's easiest to navigate, ordering it was a bear, even with existing service, but I managed to get it done with Firefox. The one thing I found out, which caused me to cancel and re-order was that as of about a week ago, the gold is in stock to be shipped now, while the others are still on a two and up week wait, so I went with it because color isn't important to one who can't see it. - Original Message - From: Devin Prater r.d.t.pra...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2014 5:58 PM Subject: Re: Sprint plans for iPhone Thank you a lot!

Re: Very scary moment when updating to 8.1.1
When I got to the slide to set up, double or split tapping on none of the foreign languages, nor on the information button, got it talking in English when I updated my IPhone 5 from 7.1.2, to 8.1.1. After a while, I was completely stuck, and was tabbing over in iTunes to restore it, when I inadvertently did a three-finger swipe left to right on the screen. It then started talking in English. Other than just trying various things, I don't know why I tried that three-finger swipe right., I don't guarantee anybody that it will work in the future. I'll keep it in mind, though.

I backed up her phone, took everything out of the app switcher, and rebooted the phone. The update went flawlessly until I got to the very end. I was sitting there thinking how easy they had made this, when all of a sudden I heard the following message. Can no longer connect to this iPhone. Yikes! What to do now. Well, I believe the phone was still booting because soon after that, I heard the vibration and VoiceOver began speaking. My wife doesn't use VoiceOver, but I turn it on when I am working on her phone. So, well done, I thought, that was just a minor glitch. The iPhone began to speak. Problem is, it was speaking in Japanese, or some other similar sounding language I couldn't understand. Double Yikes! What to do now? I suppose I could go figure out how to get to language change on my phone and do the same steps on her phone. Interestingly, the time, battery status, WiFi status was all in English but the message I had to deal with was in that other language. I was just about to put plan B into operation, when, out of the blue, the phone began to speak in English. So, all is well. I bring this up in the hopes that it won't happen to someone else, but in case it does, perhaps waiting for a while will work the same as it did for me. Perhaps I should learn Japanese?

Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12 - the complete guide
Hello Listers, As promised, here is as complete a guide as I could come up with describing how you can make ringtones from your songs using iTunes 12. This has headings, both level 1 and 2 which you can use if you want to get back to a particular section. After explaining the process and after the Clean up heading is another heading called More details about adding to library and syncing and it goes into more details about how to correctly rename the file extension and how to sync your tones to your phone. I did it this way because for more advanced users some of my descriptions may already contain more details than necessary, but for people who are new to technology or less experienced with Windows commands it is hopefully useful. I also realize that you can add ringtones to your library by copying them into the Automatically Add to Library folder. If you prefer to do this than that's fine, I personally prefer to put stuff into the folder where it belongs and add it to the library either by simply playing it or by using the Add /File to Library or Add Folder to Library option in the iTunes File menu. I wanted to provide a tutorial on how to make ringtones from songs since several people asked for it and I did the same for iTunes 11. I don't want to start a debate on how to do it better by using a different program to create the ringtone, if anybody feels they know of a better way than all I can say is go ahead and create your own tutorial and this way people can choose which method they want to use. Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12 Note: These instructions are based on doing this on a Windows 7 laptop with Jaws 16. Most of this should work fine with other screenreaders except of course for Jaws specific commands like route Jaws cursor to PC cursor and left mouse click with Jaws. You would simply have to know or find out which are equivalent commands in Window Eyes, NVDA or whatever other screenreader you might use. Basic steps 1. Find the song you want 2. Press Control+I for Get Info, tab to the options button, tab to start and end time and set end time to no more than 40 seconds. 3. Right click on your song and select Create AAC Version 4. Press Control+C on the newly created 40 second version of the song to copy it to the clipboard, open your iTunes Media\Tones folder and use Control+V to paste the song into the folder. 5. Go to the Tools menu of your Windows Explorer window, go to Folder Options and the View tab, make sure Hide extensions for known file types is Off. 6. Rename the .M4A extension to M4R. 7. Press enter on the newly renamed file to play it in iTunes, this automatically adds it to your Tones library. 8. Connect your phone, make sure Sync All Tones is selected or if you sync selected tones, make sure your new ringtone is checked, then sync your phone. detailed instructions 1. Find the song you want to make into a ringtone in your Music library in iTunes. 2. Right click, use the application menu key or Shift+F10 and select Get Info. You can also use The shortcut key which is Control+I. 3. Tab to the Options button (should be 8 tabs) and activate it by pressing the spacebar or enter. Note that nothing obvious happens, but visually the Options content now is on the screen and you have to tab to it. Unfortunately the cursor seems to go back to the beginning of this entire screen, but instead of using tab about 15 times, you can use F6 about six or seven times to get to where you enter the start and stop time for the ringtone. Changing Start and Stop time 4. The first item you get to will just say Start read only, then if you tab once there is a checkbox which is read as 0 checkbox not checked and if you tab again you will be on the actual field where you can type in a start time and which by default is always read as 0 o'clock read only. The only way to get into the edit field for start and stop time that works for me is as follows: 1. Route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor by pressing Jaws Key+NumPad Minus. 2. Do a left click with Jaws Key+NumPad Slash. 3. Jaws will say button edit and you can now delete the 0 and type in the start time you want. It is not necessary to first check the start time checkbox, if you change the value it will get checked automatically. usually you start at the beginning of the song, i.e. 0:00, but if the song starts very slow you may want to find a good spot a few seconds from the beginning where you start the ringtone. If you do change the start time, make sure you don't press enter after typing in your time because this will take you all the way back to the beginning and you have to tap about 16 times or press F6 a bunch of times to get back to the stop time. Instead just press tab from the edit field to go to Stop. 5. Here again you first have the Stop read only label, than the 0 checkbox not checked and lastly the field where you can edit the stop time.
RE: [Bulk] RE: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri?
Hi Don, I think I mentioned in my tutorial that a ringtone can't be longer than 40 seconds. You can't just rename a 3 or 4 minute song with the m4r extension, it will not work that way. I just posted a complete tutorial on how to make ringtones from songs using iTunes 12 and this includes making sure you create a version of the song which contains only a 40 second or less segment. You might want to check it out. I t may sound complicate on the first read, but if you follow the instructions and after you do it a few times it's really quite easy.

RE: Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12 - the complete guide
Sieghard. Very nicely done. What I am about to say is not a correction to anything you have said, but I want to clarify one point which I got tripped up on yesterday. You say, “Connect your phone, make sure Sync All Tones is selected or if you sync selected tones, make sure your new ringtone is checked, then sync your phone.” I offer my yesterday’s experience to make a point. I had one ring tone to add to the list of tones that were already on my phone. So, I checked selected ring tones. Since I was only moving one tone, that was the only tone I checked. Now, I should have realized what would happen., and it certainly did. When I synced my phone, the ring tone I checked was the only one left on the phone. It took all the others off. So, when people do this, they need to remember to check all the tones they want to be synced. Again, Thanks for this write up. You should put it up on AppleVis and in other places where people can learn from it.

RE: Unable to Read Account info in iTunes 12 with JAWS 16
Hi Judy, I just had a look and it seems to work for me and I also use Jaws 16. Here is what I do: 1. Check the iTunes Store radio button on the main iTunes screen. 2. Activate the “Store Account” button and arrow down through the list which comes up, you will have the following options: Wishlist Purchased Redeem Account Info On account Info press enter and enter your password, the Store Account button in my case now says “Sieghard” and it takes maybe 10 or so seconds for the iTunes page with my account info to load. I guess this could be faster or slower depending on the speed of your internet connection. Use tab or F6 to go to the actual web page and you should now see the following: iTunes Store Secure Connection Account Information – that is a heading level 1 Apple Id Summary – that is a heading level 2 It now goes on to show my my Apple Id email with a button underneath which Jaws reads as “edit at appleid.apple.com”. Basically this will open the same web page as when you go to to http://AppleID.apple.com Next I see a heading called “Payment Information”. If I arrow down I see “MasterCard 5919” so basically I see that I have a Mastercard on file ending in 5919. Arrow down again and you have “edit” which if you activate it will allow you to edit the card information. It then goes on to billing information with an edit option, then Country/Region, Computer Authorizations and so on. When I selected to edit my billing information I was able to press enter on the credit card number or use Alt+/Down Arrow on the combo boxes for the expiry date and enter information or make selections.

RE: Creating ringtones from songs using iTunes 12 - the complete guide
Hi neal, I am surprised that has happened because if you previously synced tones with the same iTunes library the ones which were synced before should have been checked. If I go to my list of tones and arrow through them a bunch of them are checked and others which I currently don’t have on my device are not. This is the same behavior as with music or other media. Is it possible you synced tones to your phone with a different library? In that case what you described makes sense.
