RE: Siri and contacts with company names only:

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Don,

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that you can't say something like "Call 
Apple Accessibility" if you put that in the company field and add the phone 
number. Even more stupid is the fact that fgor a while this worked fine, I 
always put the company name in the last name field as well as the company 
field, then at some point I thought I try this again and I deleted a few of the 
company names from the last name field and SIRI made the calls fine. 
Unfortunately I can't remember exactly if this was still in iOS 8.4.x or in one 
of the earlier 9.x builts. Anyhow, now it does not work again and considering 
that despite all it's fancy features and abilities the iPhone after all is 
still a cell phone, Apple should be ashamed of themselves. Another pet peev of 
mine is that ever since I had my first iPhone 4 in 2010, so for 5 years and 
actually I assume this goes back to the very first iPhone, you can filter your 
recent call list only by either "All" or "Missed". Why is there not a filter in 
addition to those for "Incoming" and "Outgoing" and why is there no custom 
filter to search for calls from a particular number or person. Even my old 
Windows 6.1 phone in 2007 let you display only incoming or only outgoing calls 
in addition to missed calls and all calls. I think with the exception of adding 
the ability to send a pre-programmed message when a call comes in the Phone app 
itself had very few if any enhancements for many years.

Regards,
Sieghard

Is there a way to make siri call a contact in my contacts that has nothing in

It doesn't seem to search the company field which is a tremendous oversite on 
Apples part as far as I can see.

Is there a setting I can change to make that happen.

Thanks in advance.

Re: iPad Bluetooth keyboard request

[alex stone]

Sorry to reply to the same message twice, but in certain apps, such as e-mail 
and safari, they seem to appear by default, just because I'm using a Bluetooth 
keyboard, also on the home screen this happens. It's unbelievably frustrating, 
as there doesn't seem to be any option anywhere to stop it.

Thanks, but this is really annoying when you need to use the command key as

The latest iTunes is seriously confusing me!

[Arianna Sepulveda]

I don't know where it went, but a few versions ago, there was a button
that you pressed to change what you were looking at in iTunes, i.e.
songs, albums, etc. If you wanted the most accessible way of viewing
things, you pressed that button until it said songs, then left it
alone. How do I get my nice lists back, where changing something in
one list changed what the other lists showed you? Basically, the
column browser? I have lists now, but they're grids. And there's this
weird love/like stuff in the window--I think it's Apple Music-related.
I need to be able to tell iTunes what kinds of media certain files
are. I can't find anything, and I'm going nuts!


Thanks,
Ari

RE: Playing Personal Content on Sonos

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Joe,

That depends which player you have. If it's a Play 1 or Play 3 then the answer 
is no since they don't have an input jack. If it's a Play 5 then as Robin said, 
you could use a 3.5mm male to male cord to connect the headphone jack of the 
iPhone to the 3.5mm input on the Play 5. Of course you would have to first open 
the Sonos controller on your phone and select to play from the Line-In port 
because otherwise as soon as you plug in the cord into the headset jack you 
wouldn't hear Voiceover any more. You can also configure Sonos to auto detect 
when you plug something in and to automatically play this source which is an 
even better way to do this. The two other players in the Sonos line which have 
inputs are the Connect and Connect Amp which both have RCA type inputs so you 
need a 3.5mm male to RCA male cable (the one with the red/white ends).

Sieghard

Hi Joe,

Are you referring to music when you say "personal content" or do you mean 
things like audio books or podcasts you may have saved in MP3 format? As Robin 
pointed out, you can link to a music library and this can contain really 
anything in MP3 or AAC format (Sonos also supports other formats such as FLAC 
etc.). There is also an option to play content from "On this iPhone" and this 
would be anything you sync to your phone and that is accessible to the music 
app.

Which player do you have? The Play 5 also has the ability to hook up any device 
which has a 3.5mm or RCA output.

RE: Ship Rack

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If I may suggest an alternative, Parcel has put out a lot of updates and it’s a 
really nice package tracking app.  It is very accessible and the nice thing is 
that there also is a web interface where you can log in and you can 
add/remove/edit parcels, see all your parcels which have been delivered and 
which are now archived etc. In iOS 9 you can even use the share sheet to send a 
tracking number in an email directly to the Parcel app and start a new entry, 
if you have a tracking number in the clipboard and tap on “Add” in the app it 
will automatically populate the tracking number field with what is in the 
clipboard and there is also a barcode scanner and as one of the latest features 
Parcel has introduced your own Parcel email which allows you to forward 
tracking emails similar to how Ship Rack worked.

Parcel has also already implemented 3D Touch, if you hard press on the app on a 
6S or 6S Plus you get shortcuts for adding a new delivery or to open the 
barcode scanner.

I believe Parcel costs 99 Cents a year if you want the full functionality with 
push notifications and all. But I’d rather pay a bit for a good tracking app so 
they hopefully stick around rather than not do so and then have them disappear 
like Track This or not update the app to support the latest iOS as seems to be 
the case with Ship Rack.

I seem to have a similar problem with Shiprack doing the behavior you described 
although I'm not sure exactly what triggers it. The latest instance was after 
iOS 9.2 came out even though I'm still running iOS 8.3. I've found uninstalling 
and reinstalling the Shiprack app fixes this problem for me in past 
occurrences. 

 

Good luck.

Re: App To Tell Indoor temperature?

[Andy Baracco]

I know that this is an iPhone list, but i believe in keeping things simple when 
possible. There is a talking thermostat that actually has physical buttons and 
talks all functions. It costs about $150 and can be obtained through 
www.talkingthermostats.com

A FollowA Follow-Up to Audible App Playing Audible Books Purchased Directly from iTunes

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

A few weeks ago I asked about using the Audible app to play Audible books
already purchased directly from iTunes.  

The reason why I posted this question is that, in the beginning, before
there was a VoiceOver accessible Audible app, many people, myself included,
purchased audio books directly from the iTunes store.  These books were made
available to Apple via Audible.  

As a result, I own many Audible-provided audio books that I purchased
through iTunes and that I enjoy either on my computer or in the iBooks app.


Now, even though the Audible-provided iTunes titles play just fine in
iBooks, it is not possible to navigate them by chapter headings nor can one
insert bookmarks using the iBooks app.

As the now voiceover accessible Audible app provides chapter navigation and
supports bookmarks, my original question was to learn if the Audible app
would treat the iTunes purchased titles the same way it does those purchased
directly from the Audible website.  

I now have my answer, said answer consisting of the following:

1.
The titles purchased directly from iTunes are formatted differently from
those purchased directly from Audible.  

2.
As of iOS 8.x, there is a well documented Audible app bug that causes the
app to not recognize chapter titles or track titles of any books not
purchased directly from the Audible website.  In effect, the app has the
same bug as the original iOS 9.0 version of iBooks had but that was resolved
in iOS 9.1.

3.
Despite the original source, the Audible app treats titles purchased
directly from iTunes as external audio books.  As a result, the above
mentioned bug manifests when playing these titles.

4.
After installing the Audible app, I can confirm that while I can set
bookmarks in titles originally purchased directly from iTunes, all of the
chapter headings are listed as Chapter 0, consistent with the known bug.  

So, while I think the Audible app offers marvelous functionality to those
currently subscribing to the Audible service, it may not be the best
solution for those of us already owning many audible books purchased
directly from iTunes.  

As a side note, Audible has been aware of the above known external audio
book source bug since iOS 8.x and, unlike the developers of the iBooks app,
as yet anyway, has not 
Resolved the issue.

RE: Kendals and iTunes cards?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

No, iTunes cards are good for purchasing apps from the app store or things like 
music, movies, books etc. from the iTunes store. However, I know for a fact 
that you can buy and send electronic gift cards from Amazon which the recipient 
can use to buy Kindle books.

Sieghard

Hi,
If you have 2 IDS, yes, each of them will get 5 GB on iCloud, since,

Hi,
Actually, even if one device supports reade only, you could still make the 
female voice. From what I can gather, its essentially different heads, and 
pitches. And no, its the same voice, but is using different tags. I got the 
note takers to sing before, so if you would like to know more, I can assist

Re: Android's assistant for IOS?

[Christopher Chaltain]

I wonder why you say it's Cortana and Siri for now. Cortana will have 
the same restrictions as Google Now, since these are restrictions placed 
on apps by Apple.


Also, the personal assistant from Google is not Google Voice. Google 
Voice is a VOIP offering from Google. Here's the URL for Google voice 
https://www.google.com/voice

You can do voice searches and configure the app to respond to "OK google", of course the app has to be open and in the foreground 
for this to work. You can also activate the voice search button manually and if you ask something like "Who was the 23rd president of 
the United States", "What is the population of China" or whatever is supported, you will get spoken replies as you do with 
SIRI. For many questions about popular culture Google Search gives much better answers than SIRI and often where SIRI may say "I found 
this on the web about..." Google Voice will come up with a spoken answer. Of course it does not allow you to control your iPhone as in 
"Set my alarm for 6 am" or "Text John, I'll be there in 10 minutes" etc.

Re: App To Tell Indoor temperature?

['Sandratomkins' via VIPhone]

Richard,
I think the iPhone should be able to do this, even if it doesn't know it can. 
The reason for my thinking this is, when the phone gets too hot it says "iPhone 
closing down". my iPhone 4 used to do this regularly when I was sitting in the 
sun., It must have an internal thermometer…

just my observations,
Sandy

Hi,

 

I'm a guitarist. I'm looking for an accessible app on the iphone to become a 
better musician. Does anyone know which app I can use? 

 

The app has to have guitar lessons etc. A lot of apps are made with symbols and 
notes, which I think are very difficult for us to read.

RE: Question about iPod Touch 6th Generation and compatible cases

[Richard Turner]

Christopher, what is the brand or model of flip case you bought?
Also, how thick is it around the lightning plug?  Or, how easy is it to pull it 
out of the case?  I have the IQ 6 microphone and it doesn't work well with 
cases and most of the protective cases I've seen are a pain to remove, so I've 
just not bought one for my touch.

Thanks,
Richard

Ship Rack

[Blind Treasures]

Since updating to 9.2 ship rack no n=longer operates. When tapping on the
icon, it loads but when asked to choose a login method, I get thrown out of
the app. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix? If not, is
there any other app that will do the same thing? Thanks for any help.

Re: iOS 9.2 update info

[Christopher Chaltain]

I don't know what version of IOS you're currently running, but IOS 9 
will almost certainly be a performance improvement on your 4S. I'm 
running IOS 9.2 on a 4S right now. About my only complaint now is the 30 
to 40 second hang I get when I reply to an email message. I can get 
around this by triple tapping the home button to unload and reload 
VoiceOver, but it's still annoying.

There was an issue in Ios 9.0.X when using wired headsets but that's been fixed 
and I think it was even fixed already in 9.1.

Cara, if I experienced what you describe I would try to close all apps and then 
do a Reset Network Settings. Not sure if you have tried this, but if you 
haven't give it a shot and if you haven't upgraded to 9.2 yet I would do this 
before updating, then once the phone reboots and you are reconnected to your 
WiFi network, do the update and hopefully this will really fix most issues you 
have been having. One exception of course is that thing where Voiceover goes 
silent after replying to an email in a thread, but that is easily fixed with a 
triple click of the home butto to turn Voiceover off and again to turn it back 
on. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, now that 9.2 is out hopefully many 
people here are going to report this again to accessibil...@apple.com.

No, I'm talking about the bug where it's impossible to answer a phone call. VO 
won't read any of the buttons. I think there are some workarounds for this bug, 
and some versions that aren't as severe. The bug you're describing sounds very 
odd, though, and I don't think I've heard of that one as of yet.

To refresh my memory, which bug is this?

I frequently have an issue where VO will crash when I make a call.

I need to cycle Voiceover off and then on again rapidly, for several times 
before it will return.

Once it does, the phone app is then gone from the foreground and if I double 
tap in the status bar to bring it back, nothing happens.

The only way to restore the phone app with my current call to the foreground is 
to tap on the phone app, and then tap in the status bar to bring the current 
call back up.

Needless to say, this is extraordinarily crazy.

Is this the issue people are mentioning?

if so, then it is most certainly not fixed on my phone, which is currently 
running 9.1.

I am planning on updating either this evening or tomorrow morning.

Thanks for any feedback on this.

Cheers!

Are audio described movies available by this route? Is audio described status, 
whether or not the movie is audio described, included in the Google Play store 
movie description?

Thanks.

Re: In Sonos, the Trueplay settings button seems to be inaccessible

[Michael Malver]

I wonder if they could write code that says something like: if voiceover is on,
Check to see if a headphone it's plugged in.
If no headphone is plugged in, and voiceover is on

Display dialog ("please plug in a headphone without a mic. Quote)
Else
Do whatever the normal true play function is.

Hi,

I'm a guitarist. I'm looking for an accessible app on the iphone to
become a better musician. Does anyone know which app I can use?

The app has to have guitar lessons etc. A lot of apps are made with
symbols and notes, which I think are very difficult for us to read.

Do these new headphones confirm Apple’s plans to kill the headphone jack?

[Russ Kiehne]

Do these new headphones confirm Apple’s plans to kill the headphone 
jack?https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/headphones-confirm-apple-plans-kill-111513373.html


Do these new headphones confirm Apple’s plans to kill the headphone jack?
If the name Audeze doesn’t ring any bells, that’s ok. The high-end headphone 
maker isn’t exactly as popular as Beats. But Audeze just made a move that could 
be a bellwether for a potentially radical turn for the headphone world — a turn 
rumored to be led by Apple — and it might just give the company a serious boost 
in recognition. Say hello to the new EL-8 Titanium, an exciting new iteration 
on the company’s already revered planar magnetic headphones which includes a 
new Apple Lightning connected headphone cable, with a digital audio converter 
(DAC) and headphone amplifier built right in.

LINE WEBTOON Superhero Comics Contest

LINE WEBTOON Sponsored

  
Audeze made some big waves last year when its EL-8 headphones lured high-end 
planar magnetic designs away from the hi-fi and closer to mobile devices. The 
EL-8 quickly became one of our favorite headphones of the year. Now, with the 
EL-8 Titanium and their new Lightning cable system, users will be able to 
bypass an iPhone’s limited internal components for  high-res 24-bit digital 
audio playback, and better overall sound, supercharging the iPhone’s street 
cred as a quality music player.

For those unfamiliar with planar magnetic headphones, the design uses a thin 
membrane excited by a magnet to create sound (as opposed to the cone and coil 
design of most headphones), making them notorious power hounds. As such, the 
original EL-8 were designed with a new kind of “Fluxor” magnet technology that 
focuses voltage towards the drivers in order to allow the cans to work better 
with smaller amplifiers — such as those inside mobile devices.

Related: Audeze EL-8 headphone review

With the new Titanium, Audeze aims to innovate mobile listening even further, 
bypassing an iPhone’s internal DAC and amplifier entirely by building all the 
critical electronics right into the cable itself. When plugging in digitally, 
users even have the ability to adjust the EQ and sound presets through the 
Audeze app.

By relying only on your phone’s digital output, the EL-8 Titanium are also 
compatible with audio files at 24-bit resolution, the starting point for 
high-resolution audio files. It should be noted, however, that the resolution 
for current iPhone models tops out at 24bit/48kHz, which is higher than 
CD-quality files, but lower than the 24bit/96kHz resolution commonly accepted 
as hi-res quality. 

While most folks listen to lossy MP3s and streaming services for convenience 
while on the go, both the DAC and headphone amplifier inside Audeze’s new 
Lightning-connected cable should still provide a considerable improvement in 
sound quality for Titanium users.

RE: iOS 9.2 update info

[Richard Turner]

I am not impressed with the Siri voices on my iPhone 5S for VoiceOver and it 
has a better processor than the 4S.
I don't know about iOS 9 on the 4S, someone else will have to address that.

Sieghard, thanks for the detailed response. I'm seriously thinking of upgrading

I need to reread the thread on getting apps onto the computer in iOS 9.

How to Quickly Flush the RAM on Your iPhone
David Nield

Apps misbehaving? Phone acting sluggish? 
If you’re experiencing any kind of problem with your iPhone, then emptying out 
the device’s RAM can often do wonders. It effectively ditches everything the 
phone was trying to juggle in its memory at once. Restarting your iPhone is one 
way of doing this, but there is a quicker option.
Press and hold the Power button as normal until the familiar “slide to power 
off” option appears. Don’t accept the invitation and don’t cancel either: 
Instead, press and hold the Home button. After a few seconds you should find 
yourself back on the home screen with a fresh slate as far as RAM goes. The 
same trick works on the iPad and iPod Touch, of course.
Double-tap on the Home button and you can see all of your recently opened apps 
are still there, but the difference is they’ll reload when you tap on them. 
It’s not something you should overuse—generally speaking iOS manages memory 
better than you can ever hope to—but it’s a handy option to be able to call on 
when you need it.

RE: App To Tell Indoor temperature?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Sandy,

 

Some sort of temperature sensor which shuts down the iPhone when it gets too 
hot is probably not the same as a thermometer and in any case, the heat the 
iPhone produces (even if it doesn’t feel hot) would mean a pretty inaccurate 
temperature reading. After all, if my living room is 21.4 degrees then I want 
to know it’s 21.4 and not 22.1 or 22.8 and I think it wouldn’t be unreasonable 
to assume that it could be a degree or two off.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Subject: Re: App To Tell Indoor temperature?

 

Richard,
I think the iPhone should be able to do this, even if it doesn't know it can. 
The reason for my thinking this is, when the phone gets too hot it says "iPhone 
closing down". my iPhone 4 used to do this regularly when I was sitting in the 
sun., It must have an internal thermometer…

 

just my observations,
Sandy

There are talking thermometers that can give you inside and/or outside temps.

I believe there is at least one that can communicate with the iPhone through an 
app.

Hi,

 

I'm a guitarist. I'm looking for an accessible app on the iphone to become a 
better musician. Does anyone know which app I can use? 

 

The app has to have guitar lessons etc. A lot of apps are made with symbols and 
notes, which I think are very difficult for us to read.

Re: Siri and contacts with company names only:

[Tom Lange]

Hi Don,
I was wondering the very same thing just yesterday morning; one of my students 
needed to add some contacts for our local paratransit services, with the menu 
choices preprogrammed in.  I set up two nearly identical contact entries, one 
called  Global Reservations, which he'd use to book rides, and the other called 
Global Cancellations, which he'd use for canceling rides or checking on arrival 
times.  In both cases, I put nothing in either the first or last name fields, 
only in the company name and phone number fields. We tested both of them, 
saying "dial global reservations" and "dial global cancellations". Both worked 
like a champ.  I didn't have to do anything in Settings beforehand; they just 
worked, and worked very well.  
Best regards,
Tom

Re: Siri and contacts with company names only:

[John Panarese]

  I’m not sure, but I’ve always just put the company name in the first name 
field if I am not calling a specific person. I’ve never thought about just the 
company field. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always considered that just a 
secondary bit of info on a contact. I would think, though, that one should be 
able to use just the company field to make a call to that company.

Siri and contacts with company names only:

A question.

Is there a way to make siri call a contact in my contacts that has 
nothing in either the first or last name fields?


It doesn't seem to search the company field which is a tremendous 
oversite on Apples part as far as I can see.


Is there a setting I can change to make that happen.

IOS 9.2 and IPhone 5

[Dan Beaver]

Hi,

My experiences so far with 9.2 are less than expected.

I have noticed that in some apps there is a very serious focus bug.  For 
example, in the AppsGoneFree app it is impossible to swipe right to move 
through the days apps.  As I swipe right I hear the first ap and then the focus 
jumps to the status line at the top of the screen.  I have found that I 
actually have to page through the apps now instead of swiping.  This is not 
always certain to work either.

I have seen very severe focus issues in other apps I have too.

I have also seen in some apps that the effort to double tap on some buttons and 
the like are useless.  Nothing happens which is causing me a great deal of 
frustration and loss of function.

Is there a way to go back to IOS 9.0 or maybe even 8.4?

Thanks.

Dan Beaver

RE: App To Tell Indoor temperature?

[Don Risavy, Jr.]

You can also buy the VIP3000 from Talking Thermostats that completely talks out 
of the box and don have to use any accessories like the IPhone to operate it.

Hello,
Also noticed double tap sometimes does nothing, as well, as speech cuts out.

RE: Playing Personal Content on Sonos

[Joe]

Excellent, thanks for the clarification. Now, would it be possible for the 
Sonos speaker to act as a standard speaker whereby it amplifies anything from 
the iPhone, regular Voiceover speech and such?

Hi Joe,

Are you referring to music when you say "personal content" or do you mean 
things like audio books or podcasts you may have saved in MP3 format? As Robin 
pointed out, you can link to a music library and this can contain really 
anything in MP3 or AAC format (Sonos also supports other formats such as FLAC 
etc.). There is also an option to play content from "On this iPhone" and this 
would be anything you sync to your phone and that is accessible to the music 
app.

Which player do you have? The Play 5 also has the ability to hook up any device 
which has a 3.5mm or RCA output.

Re: Playing Personal Content on Sonos

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
Theoretically if you plugged anything into it via a standard 3.5mm 1/8 inch 
patch cord from source to its line-in jack and then switched your source to 
line-in on its music menu then yes anything that had audio output going into 
its auxiliary input jack could be heard through it.

I hope that helps.

Hey Chris, I'm kinda confused. What kind of restrictions are you talking about 
that Cortana has. She can make phone calls, send texts, make reminders, same 
thing as Siri can. If I remember correctly, Google Now can't do that stuff. So 
that's why I think he said it's either Siri or Cortana.

Re: Do these new headphones confirm Apple’s plans to kill the headphone jack?

[Bill Gallik]

I suppose such an event as this may be hardline in a shift in output 
connectivity much as the 1/8” jack eventually overwhelmed the 1/4” audio jacks. 
 Personally, I tend to look forward to innovation — especially when it promises 
to offer improvement over the current state of the art.`

If you have any questions or 

A question about bluetooth headsets

[Greg Wocher]

Hello everyone,
I am getting an Apple Watch for Christmas and had a quick question about 
bluetooth headsets. Are there any out there that I could have paired 
both to my iPhone and my watch so that I can use the headset with both 
at the same time? If that is not possible is there one I can have paired 
to them both and then with a switch I can switch between the two devices?


Regards,
Greg Wocher

RE: A question about bluetooth headsets

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

I'm using my Plantronics Voyager Legend with both. Since the recent OS upgrades 
for both the phone and the watch, I am successfully using both together. 
Earlier, they hadn't worked as well, but recently I've been quite satisfied.

Some folks like the Plantronics Edge (I think that's what it's called). It's 
smaller than the Legend and may have some other advantages. I presume that 
would work with both watch and iphone as well.

RE: IOS 9.2 and IPhone 5

No, you can’t downgrade to a previous version as far as I know.

Subject: IOS 9.2 and IPhone 5

 

Hi,

 

My experiences so far with 9.2 are less than expected.

 

I have noticed that in some apps there is a very serious focus bug.  For 
example, in the AppsGoneFree app it is impossible to swipe right to move 
through the days apps.  As I swipe right I hear the first ap and then the focus 
jumps to the status line at the top of the screen.  I have found that I 
actually have to page through the apps now instead of swiping.  This is not 
always certain to work either.

 

I have seen very severe focus issues in other apps I have too.

 

I have also seen in some apps that the effort to double tap on some buttons and 
the like are useless.  Nothing happens which is causing me a great deal of 
frustration and loss of function.

 

Is there a way to go back to IOS 9.0 or maybe even 8.4?

 

Thanks.

 

Dan Beaver

Re: Ship Rack

[Alan Lemly]

I seem to have a similar problem with Shiprack doing the behavior you described 
although I'm not sure exactly what triggers it. The latest instance was after 
iOS 9.2 came out even though I'm still running iOS 8.3. I've found uninstalling 
and reinstalling the Shiprack app fixes this problem for me in past 
occurrences. 

Good luck.

 For when the double-tapping doesn't work, Triple-Click Home to

Re: iOS 9.2 update info

[englishrider91]

I'm running 8.4 on my 4S. I can deal with the freezing; although it'll be 
annoying, I'm glad to hear that unloading and reloading VoiceOver helps with 
that.


Thanks,

 To refresh my memory, which bug is this?
 
 I frequently have an issue where VO will crash when I make a call.
 
 I need to cycle Voiceover off and then on again rapidly, for several times 
 before it will return.
 
 Once it does, the phone app is then gone from the foreground and if I 
 double tap in the status bar to bring it back, nothing happens.
 
 The only way to restore the phone app with my current call to the 
 foreground is to tap on the phone app, and then tap in the status bar to 
 bring the current call back up.
 
 Needless to say, this is extraordinarily crazy.
 
 Is this the issue people are mentioning?
 
 if so, then it is most certainly not fixed on my phone, which is currently 
 running 9.1.
 
 I am planning on updating either this evening or tomorrow morning.
 
 Thanks for any feedback on this.
 
 Cheers!

RE: App To Tell Indoor temperature?

Which Honey well thermometer is that?

In order to simply search the Chicago Lighthouse catalog you have to sign up.  
Not interested in doing that.

Hi,
Can you use that thermostat in our apartment complex? Because I live in one. If 
so I definitely would purchase one of these.

Re: IOS 9.2 and IPhone 5

[Arnold Schmidt]

Have you tried clearing the ram, with the suggestion posted earlier today? If  
you have not, give it a try and see if things improve.  In case you didn't read 
the earlier post, get to one of your home screens, then hold in the power 
button until it says power off.  Instead of tapping the power off button on the 
screen, hold down the home button for a few seconds, until your phone comes 
back on.

  Subject: IOS 9.2 and IPhone 5


  Hi,

  My experiences so far with 9.2 are less than expected.

  I have noticed that in some apps there is a very serious focus bug.  For 
example, in the AppsGoneFree app it is impossible to swipe right to move 
through the days apps.  As I swipe right I hear the first ap and then the focus 
jumps to the status line at the top of the screen.  I have found that I 
actually have to page through the apps now instead of swiping.  This is not 
always certain to work either.

  I have seen very severe focus issues in other apps I have too.

  I have also seen in some apps that the effort to double tap on some buttons 
and the like are useless.  Nothing happens which is causing me a great deal of 
frustration and loss of function.

  Is there a way to go back to IOS 9.0 or maybe even 8.4?

  Thanks.

  Dan Beaver

Re: How to quickly clear the RAM on a suddenly sluggish iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch – MacDailyNews - Welcome Home

[Arnold Schmidt]

Thanks for posting this.  I don't know that it really is, but I think it 
would be, shall we say, a less stressful event to the phone than having to 
restart, or having to go through that hard reset.  I especially will use it 
when MBraille sometimes gets to where I am making a lot more errors than 
usual as I type, even though it really isn't me.  Clearing the ram in this 
way seems to get MBraille back to normal, even more thoroughly than removing 
it from the app switcher and restarting it.

How to quickly clear the RAM on a suddenly sluggish iPhone, iPad, and iPod 
touch


“Apps misbehaving? Phone acting sluggish?” David Nield reports for 
Gizmodo. “If you’re experiencing any kind of problem with your iPhone, 
then emptying out the device’s RAM can often do wonders.”
“Restarting your iPhone is one way of doing this, but there is a quicker 
option,” Nield reports.


“Press and hold the Power button as normal until the familiar ‘slide to 
power off’ option appears,” Nield reports. “Don’t accept the invitation 
and don’t cancel either: Instead, press and hold the Home button. After a 
few seconds you should find yourself back on the home screen with a fresh 
slate as far as RAM goes.”


In the full article, Nield credits @MarcForrest 
 for this 
useful tip, here 
.


MacDailyNews Note: Make sure to use this tip after you’ve unlocked your 
device. If you try it from the lock screen, you’ll just invoke Siri.


[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Fred Mertz” for the heads up.]
