moderator message - Re: Merry Christmas All
Hello all. While I normally have no problems in spreading good cheer for major holidays, The problem with this is that it tends to Spohn one line messages like the one below. I am sure that everyone who celebrates Christmas wishes everyone else who celebrates Christmas to have a great Christmas and a happy new year. So let me be the Scrooge here and say that all messages of this type need to stop at once. They create unnecessary list traffic. Thanks all!

RE: Activator Jailbreak
That is true but I can't get some of the actions to work so wondering if they just don't work under ios 8. For example, the touch ID actions don't seem to work.

Re: Wired Aftershokz question.
Hello, when using this setup, there is plenty of slack in the wire while walking around, especially since I have a belt clip case for this iPhone. Also, to prevent the wire from pulling on the rather flimsy connection at the headpiece, I would clip it on my shirt collar, since the provided clip and on off button is in the middle of the lead. Does that provide a good explanation? Matthew On 12/18/14, Mária Orovčíková maria.orovcik...@gmail.com wrote: Hello list, please is there anyone who uses wired model with GPS navigation when walking?

Sonos speakers
Hi List I'm looking for hifi equipment as most of what I have I've been using for close on 30 years. There were some useful posts a few weeks ago regarding Sonos speakers from which I have one or two questions which hopefully you can help me with. Am I right in thinking that the Sonos Sub along with either the Sonos 1, 3 or 5 would provide very good sound for listening to music? Secondly, whilst I have have wifi at home it can be a little variable so would the Sonos Boost be a worthwhile purchase along with the other products? Thirdly, although I have a significant amount of my cd collection on external hard drive, I still have a large collection of cds and would therefore want to use a cd player. Would this be easily connected to the speakers? Fourth, I have a large minidisc collection and good Sony minidisc player, would this easily be connectable to the speakers? Fifth, would control of such a system be better controlled through an iPhone, PC or MacBook or would any of these do the job? Finally, whilst retaining my actual copies of cds would I benefit from purchasing space in the cloud to store my music and is playing music from the cloud straightforward? I thank you for your time and any responses which will help me spend my money well. Dave Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: recording room audio
No, when you open the app, the sond volume drops down very low. I have to hold my iPhone close to my face to even hear what Voice Over is saying. The actual recording process works ok. Even when you stop recording, the voice over volume remains low. Even exiting the app does not change anything. The only way I found that I can get the volume back to my control using the volume buttons is to go in to settings, Sound, and then to sound volume. Then double tap the volume and it will return control back over to the up/down volume buttons on the side of my iPhone 5s. That’s my only complaint so far with the app. I like that I can export my MP3 recording to my dropbox. Regards, Alan Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your parents? Act now! Move out. Get a job.

RE: recording room audio
Hi, try taking the app out of the app switcher and see if the volume returns. I have notice the volume drop with a number of recording apps with iOS 8. Many of the apps assume you will be using headphones. However, for the most part, taking the app out of the app switcher works for me although I do not have this particular recorder.

Re: Sonos speakers
Hi Dave. I will insert my answers between your quoted questions. On 12/18/2014 12:40 PM, Dave Sheridan wrote: Hi List I'm looking for hifi equipment as most of what I have I've been using for close on 30 years. There were some useful posts a few weeks ago regarding Sonos speakers from which I have one or two questions which hopefully you can help me with. Am I right in thinking that the Sonos Sub along with either the Sonos 1, 3 or 5 would provide very good sound for listening to music? Secondly, I would suggest two play 5s and a sub for one room. Really makes for some nice listening and also will help with connecting other analog devices to your sonos system, see below. whilst I have have wifi at home it can be a little variable so would the Sonos Boost be a worthwhile purchase along with the other products? The advantage of the boost is that it allows you the freedom to put the speakers anywhere you want. IF you don't have it then at leasone of your sonos speakers must connect via ethernet cable to your router. This may restrict your ability to plase the speakers where you really want them. In my opinion its not a bad idea. The latest version of the sonos firmware howerver allows for wifi connection to your router without a boost. Since your wifi seems somewhat iffie I would suggest the boost as a good idea. Thirdly, although I have a significant amount of my cd collection on external hard drive, I still have a large collection of cds and would therefore want to use a cd player. Would this be easily connected to the speakers? Fourth, I have a large minidisc collection and good Sony minidisc player, would this easily be connectable to the speakers? Having two play 5 speakers will allow you two line in connections to the system so you could put your cd player on one and your mini disk player on the other. Fifth, would control of such a system be better controlled through an iPhone, PC or MacBook or would any of these do the job? I suggest most often control of your system will be done quite easily and successfully through the iPhone and of course thats most desirable. I have found thogh that some things such as adding services and feeding differernt streams to diffent rooms are accomplished more easily through the pc controler but are doable on the iPhone. I have't had experience with the sonos controler on the mac but as I recall it was not very useable so would probably be the last resort. I could be wrong about that though. Finally, whilst retaining my actual copies of cds would I benefit from purchasing space in the cloud to store my music and is playing music from the cloud straightforward? In my opinion I rarely see a reason anymore to have music stored in my home at all whether on cd or hard drive. Subscribing to a good music service such as deezer beats music or something like that gives you access to a music collection it would take ten life times and a billion dollars to amass. No need to waste storage space or physical storage space any more for music. Thats just my opinion and I am sure many will argue. To access the music collection from anywhere at any time is a true luxury and easily accomplished these days without any investment in hardware. If you want to put your cds on the cloud then google play music which is supported by sonos gives you the best of both worlds. You have googles vast music collection at your finger tips as well as having the ability to upload your own collection to the google play music cloud so you have access to it anywhere. Hope this ehlps. Don I thank you for your time and any responses which will help me spend my money well.

Re: Sonos speakers
The only thing I wanted to add to this is that with the IPhone you can't shuffle music. That needs to be done with the PC. Some one correct me if I'm wrong which I hope I am. Otherwise the Sonos IPhone app is quite nice. I also agree with using 5's rather than 3's. I don't think that the 3's sound all that great. I don't agree with not having music on my own computer but as was already stated that can be argued both ways and is a matter of preference. On 12/18/14, Don Breda don.br...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Dave.

RE: Sonos speakers
Hi Don, Good thing I read your reply before answering Dave's questions, your descriptions are very well put and right on the money. Only thing I would add for Dave is that if you want to connect external sources like your CD player or minidisc player, you have to go with the Play 5 as it is the only player apart from the Connect and connect Amp which has an input. The Play 3 sounds very nice as well and even the Play 1 with a Sonos sub is quite amazing, but neither the Play 1 or Play 3 have an input. Anyhow, if you want the best sound a set of Play 5 are the way to go and it's only a $100 price difference per player between the Play 3 and Play 5. Keep in mind that Sonos does offer a 45-day satisfaction guaranty so if you think you are ready to give this a try just call Sonos and order your equipment, then enjoy and decide after a few weeks of hands on experience if it's for you. Chances are you'll love it. I'm just waiting for Sonos to add support for the new Tidal music service. They just send me an offer for a 2-months subscription at 40% off the regular price of $19.99 per months and I was listening to some stuff via the Tidal iPhone app using my $200 V-Mota headset and it sounded amazing. Tidal streams in lossless FLAC format so if you have high-end equipment it is really worth it. I also have a Deezer subscription which I received for free with my latest Sonos purchase and for some reason the stream constantly jumps ahead to the next song, it barely plays a song to the end, but half way through it jumps to the next song. Sonos tells me that is because of my internet connection, but I am getting about 30 to 35 Mbps down and 8 to 9 Mbps up with a reasonable ping time so I don't quite understand this and when I was streaming via the Tidal app on my iPhone I listened for an hour without a single drop-out or interruption. Anyhow, I think tidal will be worthwhile to look at once it's on Sonos. The app is a bit cluttered here and there, but it is fully accessible. I hope their Sonos implementation will be full-featured and not like Spotify where you can only access a fraction of the features. This is one reason why I just cancelled my Spotify Premium subscription, I'd rather pay a bit more for Tidal and get better features and the much higher quality. Once Tidal is available via my Sonos system I'll do a separate post/review.

Re: Sonos speakers
Thanks Don, John and Sieghard for prompt and thorough answers to my questions. One further question relating to the 45 days to test them out, is this when purchasing direct from Sonos as so far I've just looked at Amazon? I live in the UK and presume Sonos is based in the US, so am I likely to be looking at a significant shipping charge if purchasing directly from Sonos?

Re: recording room audio
Hello all. One thing that I find really helps is if a recommendation for an app is made, not only should the person making the recommendation say how they found the app, but who the developer is and then even if possible provide a link. So for example for this app in question I did a search for the app name as listed below, and I found two entries in the app store. The first entry is the free version which indicates there are in app purchases. The second entry is the pro version which cost $3.99. I double tap on the first entry and find the information. Near the upper right corner of the screen is a share button. I double tap the share button and then I double tap the copy link button so here's the link. If you double tap the following link it will open the app description directly in the app store so you don't have to do the steps above. Good luck.

Re: Sonos speakers
Hi Sieghard I had a subscription to Tidal and gave it up. I also have a deezer subscription and like it very much. I have never once had the problem you describe with deezer. I didn't like tidal all that much only because their search results seemed rather limitted. I must say I do have complaints with most music services regardign searches and results but Tidal never seemd to display all the hits for a search query either in the iPhone app or the sonos implementation. For some reason they never seem to display all the results they have for a search. I finally let the subscription go. I currently subscribe to deezer, beats, and google play music. Not sure yet what I will settle on. One reason is because I dont' know what Apple is going to do with beats yet.

I never cared for bone conduction headphones. They don't fit well or sound well to me.

The two are totally different. Boes are for good sound and, depending on the model, noise isolation. Aftershokz are bone conduction, meaning that they don't sound as good but also don't block your ears at all. It is a bit like asking if you should get a white cane or a guide dog. Both have their good and bad points, and both approach their intended function in very different ways. If you can explain what you'll be doing with the headphones, we can provide more helpful ideas. For instance, the Aftershokz are great for walking around outside, since you can hear ambience, but not so great for privacy or blocking out other sounds. Boes headphones sound much better with music, but will probably be bulkier and block more noise.

Re: Sonos speakers
Hi Sieghard, You are correct, using the iPhone, if you tap on the queue button, there is a button to turn shuffle on or off. After reading your reviews of the speakers, and how accessible the software was on the iPhone, I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and bought a pair of Play 1's, a Play 5, a Play Bar and Sub. I love the audio quality, both from streaming online and directly from my pc, and even using the audio in on the Play 5, all is controlled from the phone. What a wonderful job was done on making the software so accessible with voice over, even through the initial setting up, which is easily done without any sighted help. Regards.

I don't think that the 3's sound all that great. I don't agree with not having music on my own computer but as was already stated that can be argued both ways and is a matter of preference.

Am I right in thinking that the Sonos Sub along with either the Sonos 1, 3 or 5 would provide very good sound for listening to music? Secondly, I would suggest two play 5s and a sub for one room. Really makes for some nice listening and also will help with connecting other analog devices to your sonos system, see below. whilst I have have wifi at home it can be a little variable so would the Sonos Boost be a worthwhile purchase along with the other products? The advantage of the boost is that it allows you the freedom to put the speakers anywhere you want. IF you don't have it then at leasone of your sonos speakers must connect via ethernet cable to your router. This may restrict your ability to plase the speakers where you really want them.

Would this be easily connected to the speakers? Fourth, I have a large minidisc collection and good Sony minidisc player, would this easily be connectable to the speakers? Having two play 5 speakers will allow you two line in connections to the system so you could put your cd player on one and your mini disk player on the other. Fifth, would control of such a system be better controlled through an iPhone, PC or MacBook or would any of these do the job? I suggest most often control of your system will be done quite easily and successfully through the iPhone and of course thats most desirable. I have found thogh that some things such as adding services and feeding differernt streams to diffent rooms are accomplished more easily through the pc controler but are doable on the iPhone. I have't had experience with the sonos controler on the mac but as I recall it was not very useable so would probably be the last resort. I could be wrong about that though. Finally, whilst retaining my actual copies of cds would I benefit from purchasing space in the cloud to store my music and is playing music from the cloud straightforward? In my opinion I rarely see a reason anymore to have music stored in my home at all whether on cd or hard drive. Subscribing to a good music service such as deezer beats music or something like that gives you access to a music collection it would take ten life times and a billion dollars to amass. No need to waste storage space or physical storage space any more for music. Thats just my opinion and I am sure many will argue.

RE: Sonos speakers
Hi Don, I guess it all depends on how serious you are with these services. I prefer quality and so far it seems that Tidal is definitely a step above the rest although Deezer offers a $20 subscription which they say also includes lossless format streaming. I will have to sit down and talk to sonos, submit some diagnostic reports from my system and see if they can find out why I am getting this behavior where songs only play part way and then skip. I had signed up with a german service called Aupeo and experienced the same behavior and just thought it was because it was a much less expensive subscription and just not as good. I have 1 Sonos connect at my business as well and it's wired into my router and I have experienced the same with Deezer. My internet connection there is ADSL with 25 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up which should be plenty fast enough even for lossless streaming. I don't know what kind of bandwidth Netflix requires, but I never have any issues with it via my Apple TV which is connected wirelessly to my home network.

Re: Sonos speakers
Sorry I just don't know the answer to that. Here is the U.S. they provide return shipping labels in their products and you just slap them on the boxes and ship them back. They even pay for the return shipping and no restocking fees. I only bought a boost directly from them and purchased my other sonos components locally. Most stores have a 30 day return policy so maybe by them locally in the UK. believe me 30 days is probably long enough to decide to keep them.

One further question relating to the 45 days to test them out, is this when purchasing direct from Sonos as so far I've just looked at Amazon?

Well Deezer does give you the lossless streaming at this point its still $10 per month.

RE: Sonos speakers
Those are speeds I can only dream of at this point. I thought even optic/fibre was only 50 or 100 Mbps down and 10 or 25 up respectivevely. I live in a small town in northwestern British Columbia. Apparently we are soon getting LTE here, but there is no optic TV service yet and it's unlikely we get fibre to the house any time soon. The normal residential ADSL is 6 down and 1 up which especially on the upstream speed realistically means 0.5 to 0.7 up. I get the 25 down and 5 up at my business and was lucky to get in on a trail with Telus where they are testing a wireless modem which uses the 2.3 Ghz frequency and offers LTE speeds. I am having this for free until next May and then I will have to find out if they even continue the service, at this point it was basically a situation where they had to use the band or loose it so they gave a bunch of business customers these modems for free for 1 year.

Re: bluetooth headphone recommendations? boes or after shok's?
If you don’t have any ear problems like tinnitus et cetera, the Bose Quite Comfort In Ear is really comfortable. With a ear problem, you may feel an increase in ear problem when using the noice cancellation like i did. I use them with noice cancellation turned off for voice calls and GPS(only one in the ear). Expensive and good. Would not buy them today if i knew the increase of tinnitus caused by the sound noice cancellation sends in your ears, Wired. The noice cancellation is really good though. Have no problem with noice cancellation on the wired beats over the ear headphones, but Alex sounds strange. The Norwegian voice sounds very good. The Beats noice cancellation is not as good as Bose though. Voice Over is better on Bose than Beats even without noice Cancellation. If your ears can tolearte the noice cancellation sound Bose Quite Comfort In Ear uses to tone down outside noice, i guess theese ar the perfect wired today. Beats may be better soon with wired lightning cable from the lightning port on iPhone into the over the ear headphones. Don’t know when they ships. Take care 18. des. 2014 kl. 22:02 skrev Raul A.

Incorrect billing address, debit card funds not available, and the most BS 1 was item no longer available. So I calmly called customer care, they told me to go in to the store and they could fix this issue and get my phone on schedule. The store proceeded to tell me it wasn’t there fault. Needless to say I lost my temper, told them to fix it or I was going across the street to the other T. Long story short, customer care fix the issue, I got my phone that Friday, stayed with ATT, and all is well.

After reading your reviews of the speakers, and how accessible the software was on the iPhone, I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and bought a pair of Play 1's, a Play 5, a Play Bar and Sub. I love the audio quality, both from streaming online and directly from my pc, and even using the audio in on the Play 5, all is controlled from the phone. What a wonderful job was done on making the software so accessible with voice over, even through the initial setting up, which is easily done without any sighted help. Regards.

That needs to be done with the PC. Some one correct me if I'm wrong which I hope I am. Otherwise the Sonos IPhone app is quite nice. I also agree with using 5's rather than 3's. I don't think that the 3's sound all that great. I don't agree with not having music on my own computer but as was already stated that can be argued both ways and is a matter of preference.

On 12/18/2014 12:40 PM, Dave Sheridan wrote: Hi List I'm looking for hifi equipment as most of what I have I've been using for close on 30 years. There were some useful posts a few weeks ago regarding Sonos speakers from which I have one or two questions which hopefully you can help me with. Am I right in thinking that the Sonos Sub along with either the Sonos 1, 3 or 5 would provide very good sound for listening to music? Secondly, I would suggest two play 5s and a sub for one room. Really makes for some nice listening and also will help with connecting other analog devices to your sonos system, see below. whilst I have have wifi at home it can be a little variable so would the Sonos Boost be a worthwhile purchase along with the other products? The advantage of the boost is that it allows you the freedom to put the speakers anywhere you want. IF you don't have it then at leasone of your sonos speakers must connect via ethernet cable to your router. This may restrict your ability to plase the speakers where you really want them. In my opinion its not a bad idea. The latest version of the sonos firmware howerver allows for wifi connection to your router without a boost. Since your wifi seems somewhat iffie I would suggest the boost as a good idea. Thirdly, although I have a significant amount of my cd collection on external hard drive, I still have a large collection of cds and would therefore want to use a cd player. Would this be easily connected to the speakers? Fourth, I have a large minidisc collection and good Sony minidisc player, would this easily be connectable to the speakers? Having two play 5 speakers will allow you two line in connections to the system so you could put your cd player on one and your mini disk player on the other. Fifth, would control of such a system be better controlled through an iPhone, PC or MacBook or would any of these do the job? I suggest most often control of your system will be done quite easily and successfully through the iPhone and of course thats most desirable. I have found thogh that some things such as adding services and feeding differernt streams to diffent rooms are accomplished more easily through the pc controler but are doable on the iPhone. I have't had experience with the sonos controler on the mac but as I recall it was not very useable so would probably be the last resort. I could be wrong about that though. Finally, whilst retaining my actual copies of cds would I benefit from purchasing space in the cloud to store my music and is playing music from the cloud straightforward? In my opinion I rarely see a reason anymore to have music stored in my home at all whether on cd or hard drive. Subscribing to a good music service such as deezer beats music or something like that gives you access to a music collection it would take ten

Bose Sound Dock 10 and IOS 8.1
Hello listers, I have had a Bose Sound Dock 10 for a year and a half. I now use it with a 30 pin to lightning connector adapter and it has worked fine. That is, until recently. All that has changed is that I have upgraded my iPhone 5S to IOS 8.1. I also can't use my old 4S on the Sound Doc and my husband can't use his iPhone 6. When we try, the music cuts out immediately. This happens whether Voiceover is on or off. I seem to recall that there were one or two others on this list who own the Sound Dock 10. Have you encountered similar issues? Does this mean I have to lug it to the Bose store so they can send it in for repairs? Suzanne -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Using Fleksy now with VoiceOver, the first letter you type in an edit field does bout register so you have to type it twice. After that it functions rather like direct touch typing, including 543 numbers but the first number you type also fails to register. I can't get symbols keyboard up using VoiceOver.

RE: KNFB Reader
Well, I've used KNFB Reader when my screen reader wasn't speaking to take a picture of the computer screen and discovered an error message that helped me resolve the problem. It works better than I expected for that kind of thing. But, even if you are only going to scan documents, overall, it is far faster and easier to use than any other iPhone OCR app, including Prizmo. Once in a while, I've found a document that I got a better result with Prizmo, but that has only been a couple times. Now, what I do is scan with KNFB Reader and if the results are fine, I stick with it. If something isn't coming out well, then I'll try Prizmo. If you plan to scan a document and save it, there is no competition, KNFB Reader is far easier to use.

backing up my iPhone
Hi all, Earlier today I got a message on my phone that said something like this phone hasn't been back up. So my question is which way is the best way to do a back up of my iPhone? Can I do it on my phone it self or do I need to connect my phone to my computer and sync and do a back up through iTunes? Can someone give me step by step directions on how to do this? I haven't done a back up on my phone since June of this year. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Lori and the Gipper -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: backing up my iPhone
Hi Charles and Joseph, Firstly, I want to say that I earlier had to download the latest version of iTunes first before I could do a back up. I successfully downloaded the latest version of iTunes. I decided to do a backup through iTunes having my iPphone connected to itunes. I just got done doing a back up just a few minutes ago. It says last sync today at 11:25 PM. So I'm assuming this means I backed up my phone?How offen should I back up my phone? Also, charles and Joseph thanks for your help. Take care.

The two are totally different. Boes are for good sound and, depending on the model, noise isolation. Aftershokz are bone conduction, meaning that they don't sound as good but also don't block your ears at all. It is a bit like asking if you should get a white cane or a guide dog. Both have their good and bad points, and both approach their intended function in very different ways. If you can explain what you'll be doing with the headphones, we can provide more helpful ideas. For instance, the Aftershokz are great for walking around outside, since you can hear ambience, but not so great for privacy or blocking out other sounds. Boes headphones sound much better with music, but will probably be bulkier and block more noise.

For those who don’t know what this is, the product consists of a bridge which connects to your router and which can then talk to up to 50 light bulbs. You can then control said LED light bulbs via the free app and turn the lights on/off, set brightness level, change the colour of the light from regular warm white to any colour you can think of and create schedules which turn lights on or off at certain times and so on. The product is pretty expensive at this point, a starter pack with bridge and 3 light bulbs is $199.99, each additional light bulb is $59.99. You can get a bridge with 2 of the so-called “Lux” light bulbs for $99.99 and additional bulbs for $29.99. These less expensive bulbs can only be dimmed, but cannot change colour. There are a couple of styles like regular A19 household bulbs or BR30 floodlights. I just saw that Belkin has released a competitive product under their Wemo line of home automation products. At this point they only have bulbs which cannot change colour and the pricing for those is the same as the Philipps ones. I really hope this drops in price to a point where bulbs would be $19.99 or so and maybe $29.99 for the ones which can change colour. You can pick up a good quality LED light bulb these days for around $8 or $9 so paying a $20 premium just so they can talk to the bridge is steep, but I am still wondering about the accessibility.

Hi Jose, I like the Move app at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/move-daily-activity-to-stay/id555994760?mt=8 At the interval you suggest, it reminds you to move and proposes an exercise. If you don't like the one it suggests, do a two-finger double-tap to get a new one. If it's a timed exercise, the timer is accessible. When you're done, choose the I Did It button. It keeps track of which exercises you've done and how many calories you've burned. It's great when you want to get a bit of exercise to break up a sedentary work day.
