Hi,
I would also recommend checking the cost for going to Africa with
T-Mobile. With their current plans here in the US, they have good
prices on international roaming for calling data and text.

RE: Travel abroad

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It's all GSM, in some way it might be easier with a 5S in such countries since 
more people may have phones which still use Micro SIM cards.
You said you are going to South Africa, will you also go to other countries?
I think Fanus might be better equipped to make statements about the risk of 
theft and so on.
I would call T-Mobile or go to one of their stores, they can probably tell you 
if the phone is locked to them, there is a good chance it is, but they can 
unlock it for you.
I'll CC Fanus on this email in case he doesn't see it on the list and he can 
reply to you, maybe direct is the way to go unless others are interested in 
this discussion.

Regards,
Sieghard

I was about to mention to check whether you had a CDMA or GSM phone, but since

Caribbean and Asian countries and the US use CDMA, but truth be told, I have no 
idea about Africa. You may want to check on that as well to be sure.

Who is your carrier here and when did you get your phone?
I assume you are in the US? If so then as far as I know only Verizon phones are 
unlocked.
Easiest way to find out for sure is if you have a friend or family member who 
has a phone with the same size SIM (most likely a Nano SIM unless you are still 
on an iPhone 5S which I believe had a Micro SIM and if said person uses a 
different provider. Just take out your SIM and put in his or her SIM, if you 
get service on their carrier your phone is unlocked.
OK, I should say most likely unlocked, if they use an MVNO (mobile virtual 
network operator) who works on the same network as the main carriers than it is 
possible or likely that a locked aT phone would work with a SIM from an MVNO 
using the AT network. But if you are with AT and a friend is with T-Mobile 
or Verizon and their SIM works in your phone then it's definitely unlocked.

Take care,

Hi Marilyn,

What african country or countries will you be visiting?
Here some general advice from somebody who has travelled quite a lot. I haven't 
been to Africa, but I have been to the Philippines quite a lot because my wife 
is from there and also to Thailand and Laos and in travelling there I have been 
through South Korea, China, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore.

1. Insure your phone against theft, you should ask your home insurance, I could 
add my phone with a $100 deductable for a mere $35 or so a year and that covers 
loss, theft and damage.
2. Keep your phone out of sight in public as much as possible. Again, it may 
depend a bit on where you are going, but if you do go to countries where a lot 
of people are relatively poor an iPhone is a huge prize/incentive for theft.
3. As for using your phone, if it is unlocked you can buy a local SIM in 
whatever country you go to and put it into your phone. This will give you a 
local number and access to whatever prepaid plans are available. You probably 
will have more use for data than for calling and SMS so try to find a plan 
which gives you as much data as possible.
4. Don't expect very fast data speeds or even the greatest coverage, we take a 
lot for granted in our highly developed countries.

If you are going to South Africa maybe Fanus can chime in and give you some 
advice as to which carriers might have the best prepaid plans.

Best regards,
Sieghard

you said T-Mobile... Pretty much the entire world uses GSM, but I think a few 
Caribbean and Asian countries and the US use CDMA, but truth be told, I have no 
idea about Africa. You may want to check on that as well to be sure.

Who is your carrier here and when did you get your phone?
I assume you are in the US? If so then as far as I know only Verizon phones are 
unlocked.
Easiest way to find out for sure is if you have a friend or family member who 
has a phone with the same size SIM (most likely a Nano SIM unless you are still 
on an iPhone 5S which I believe had a Micro SIM and if said person uses a 
different provider. Just take out your SIM and put in his or her SIM, if you 
get service on their carrier your phone is unlocked.
OK, I should say most likely unlocked, if they use an MVNO (mobile virtual 
network operator) who works on the same network as the main carriers than it is 
possible or likely that a locked aT phone would work with a SIM from an MVNO 
using the AT network. But if you are with AT and a friend is with T-Mobile 
or Verizon and their SIM works in your phone then it's definitely unlocked.

Take care,
Sieghard

Hello Sieghard, 

I will be going to South Africa too. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how 
do I know if my phone is locked or unlocked? What do I need to do to unlock it? 

Thanks.

Hi Marilyn,

What african country or countries will you be visiting?
Here some general advice from somebody who has travelled quite a lot. I haven't 
been to Africa, but I have been to the Philippines quite a lot because my wife 
is from there and also to Thailand and Laos and in travelling there I have been 
through South Korea, China, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore.

1. Insure your phone against theft, you should ask your home insurance, I could 
add my phone with a $100 deductable for a mere $35 or so a year and that covers 
loss, theft and damage.
2. Keep your phone out of sight in public as much as possible. Again, it may 
depend a bit on where you are going, but if you do go to countries where a lot 
of people are relatively poor an iPhone is a huge prize/incentive for theft.
3. As for using your phone, if it is unlocked you can buy a local SIM in 
whatever country you go to and put it into your phone. This will give you a 
local number and access to whatever prepaid plans are available. You probably 
will have more use for data than for calling and SMS so try to find a plan 
which gives you as much data as possible.
4. Don't expect very fast data speeds or even the greatest coverage, we take a 
lot for granted in our highly developed countries.

If you are going to South Africa maybe Fanus can chime in and give you some 
advice as to which carriers might have the best prepaid plans.

Best regards,
Sieghard

Hi all, I agree with you in every way Siri is still pretty stupid she messes it 
all the time instead of knowing anything she always wants to look it up on the 
web and comes up with things that are not even relevant. I can also say Siri is 
not ever serious! About getting anything right six! If Siri was in a football 
game Siri would’ve lost in the first inning.

Weather App & Enhanced Icon Display

[Bill Gallik]

Hi All;

I’m wondering if there is a weather app that will display basic information in 
the Icon display.  I’m thinking of the Calendar app that displays the date in 
the Icon display and the Clock app that displays the current time of day with 
the Icon.

I would appreciate an weather app that would include the current temp and very 
basic condition with the Icon.  For instance; it would be nice if a Weather app 
would (optionally) include something like “62 degrees & Sunny” or “78 degrees & 
Partly Cloudy” or “27 Degrees & Snow Flurries."

If there is no such app, then just how would somebody go about putting a 
request that the native Weather App be enhanced to include such basic 
information in the Icon Display?

RE: Fing print problem solved

Yes, but that is something I turned off first, for me this is much more of an

Hi Sieghard,
You can also turn on the raise to wake feature then all you have to do is raise 
your iPhone up and rest your finger on the home button and it will open. That 
way you do not have to push any buttons to open your iPhone.

You go to Accessibility settings and then look for “Home button”.
At the very bottom is a button called “Rest Finger to Open”, make sure this is 
set to “On”.
It’s actually one item up from the bottom, the very last thing is the 
explanation for it:
Open iPhone with Touch Id, without having to press the home button.
Of course you still have to wake up the iPhone first by either pressing the 
home button or the power/sleep button on the side.
If you turn this on you can usually just press the home button and after you 
let go just keep your finger on it for a moment and it will unlock.
Glad re-entering your fingerprint fixed the problem, still a good idea though 
to make sure the home button (and the screen) are nice and clean, all sorts of 
weird things can happen if they get too dirty.It’s

Well, I deleted my finger print and redid it and it works fine now.  Don’t know 
what was going on.  Someone on the list mentioned to be sure and set it up so 
you can just put your finger on the home button rather than actually pushing 
it.  If that is possible, where do you set that up at?  I didn’t see it in the 
finger print section of settings, although I think my phone was doing that 
before this mess started.  Thanks.

Re: Siri is still pretty stupid

[Jewel]

It annoys me when I ask Siri about something and, instead of giving me an 
answer, he, merely, brings 
up a website which I have to sort out with my finger.
I do remember that, in my early days as an iPhone user, he would ask me if I 
wantede him to read it 
to me, but I haven't had that request, now, for yonks and then more yonks!

Yes, Mary said it very well for us all! I too feel there are just too
many occasions when you ask a simple question and he/she just doesn't

want to read something on the Web. I want Siri to go on speaking what
he/she reads because that's why I've asked for his/her help, because I
want the information and I want it quickly!

At present, most assistants have this quirk when sometimes they know an
answer or how to do something and other times they just say they don't
know. As others have said, Siri was the first and he/she should be
leading the way for sure!

Re: Siri is still pretty stupid

[Michael Irons]

Hi all, I agree with you in every way Siri is still pretty stupid she messes it 
all the time instead of knowing anything she always wants to look it up on the 
web and comes up with things that are not even relevant. I can also say Siri is 
not ever serious! About getting anything right six! If Siri was in a football 
game Siri would’ve lost in the first inning.

Re: rainbow II color identifier now available

['Carol Pearson' via VIPhone]

Louise,

I'm in the UK and, if you get to talk to them and you can do it, I'd 
really like to know of other shipping options, but their web site 
(perhaps because they haven't yet got any) doesn't have a link (ikt 
seems) when I read the word "here" on their page.


If anyone actually has one, I'd really like to know how it does with 
patterned items, since these almost always cause problems, but I am keen 
to get a better one than I have so would appreciate all feedback.


Thanks.

want to read something on the Web. I want Siri to go on speaking what 
he/she reads because that's why I've asked for his/her help, because I 
want the information and I want it quickly!


At present, most assistants have this quirk when sometimes they know an 
answer or how to do something and other times they just say they don't 
know. As others have said, Siri was the first and he/she should be 
leading the way for sure!

Good call Marry,

I still get a lot of somethings gone wrong Sadam. Or, Can you try that

Google's natural language processing is way better.

Well, Siri, since I already gave you the street name of the store

you just give me the phone number I asked for in the first place? 
Google does this and so does Alexa. But good old Siri still can't 
get this right even in iOS 11. Come on Apple. This is pretty 
elementary stuff. What the hell did you do with all your work on 
Siri, anyway? Have other people found improvements to Siri in the 
real world? I know it can do all sorts of music trivia about which I 
care not. But what about real world situations? You know, like when 
you want a phone number and don't want to engage in meaningless 
back-and-forth with your so called Assistant?

Sounds on ios 11.2

[Gordon]

I've been experiencing this strange thing with sounds since 11.2 and I 
wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this as well. There are 
times when sounds don't play when notifications come in. For example 
I've missed several texts lately that are there but the sound didn't 
play when they come in. I find out about them from the badge on the home 
screen. but this morning was the big one when the alarm sound didn't 
play making my daughter late for school. The alarm was on and is the 
same alarm that I use for every week day. but this morning the sound 
didn't play. I haven't made any changes to my sounds or anything like 
that. When she goes back in January from Christmas break I'll use my 
iPhone and echo to have a second backup alarm just in case.

My iMessage count is wrong

On the home screen it says that I have 10 messages, when I know there is only 
one. I even double checked that message to make sure that it didn’t contain 
messages with it. I have turned the device completely off, and did the thing 
where you press the top button, wait for the tone, and press the home button. 
What could be causing this?

RE: mystery of the disappearing apps?

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

These apps will stay on your phone if you upgrade to IOS 11, but I believe the 
situation applies more to when you get a new phone and restore from a backup.  
I recently upgraded from an iPhone 6S to an iPhone 8, and did a restore from an 
iCloud backup.  The apps that were 32-bit did not get restored on my new phone.

hello all,
the last time I got a new iPhone, and restored from an iTunes backup, I noticed 
that a few of my apps seemed to have not been installed on to the new phone. no 
matter what I did, I couldn't get them back, even by making another backup from 
an iPhone that I knew they are on, they still didn't install across to the new 
phone. is iTunes starting to get a bit selective, and not copy or install apps 
that it thinks won't work with later IOS versions or something?
as that's the only answer I can come up with, unless something is going wrong.

RE: Fing print problem solved

[Mr. Ed]

Hi Sieghard,

You can also turn on the raise to wake feature then all you have to do is raise 
your iPhone up and rest your finger on the home button and it will open. That 
way you do not have to push any buttons to open your iPhone.

You go to Accessibility settings and then look for “Home button”.

At the very bottom is a button called “Rest Finger to Open”, make sure this is 
set to “On”.

It’s actually one item up from the bottom, the very last thing is the 
explanation for it:

Open iPhone with Touch Id, without having to press the home button.

Of course you still have to wake up the iPhone first by either pressing the 
home button or the power/sleep button on the side.

If you turn this on you can usually just press the home button and after you 
let go just keep your finger on it for a moment and it will unlock.

Glad re-entering your fingerprint fixed the problem, still a good idea though 
to make sure the home button (and the screen) are nice and clean, all sorts of 
weird things can happen if they get too dirty.It’s

Sieghard

Well, I deleted my finger print and redid it and it works fine now.  Don’t know 
what was going on.  Someone on the list mentioned to be sure and set it up so 
you can just put your finger on the home button rather than actually pushing 
it.  If that is possible, where do you set that up at?  I didn’t see it in the 
finger print section of settings, although I think my phone was doing that 
before this mess started.  Thanks.

Re: Messaging App Question

Hi,

Actually, I tapped on the offending message and, under 'Details', I saw that 
'Hide Alerts' was toggled 'on'. I toggled it to 'off' and 'Muted' was gone. 
How it got toggled to 'on' for this one individual is a total mystery. 
Thanks for the reply.

RE: Advantages of upgrading to a new phone

[Chip Orange]

These are all good points ... I'll just add that a weak battery can be fixed 
much more cheaply with something like a Mophie battery/case than paying for a 
new phone.

I can't remember for certain when NFC was added to iPhones, seems like it was 
the 6S models, so I would upgrade if I had a phone without nfc just to have 
ApplePay, which is a great convenience to the VI user when available.

updating to IOS 11, the phone ran noticably slower. I chose the 8 because I

I didn't want the X because i didn't want a larger phone, and I wanted the

matter what I did, I couldn't get them back, even by making another backup from 
an iPhone that I knew they are on, they still didn't install across to the new 
phone. is iTunes starting to get a bit selective, and not copy or install apps 
that it thinks won't work with later IOS versions or something?
as that's the only answer I can come up with, unless something is going wrong.

Been there and done that. Though they did finally fix the search issue for 
apple music.

RE: Fing print problem solved

[Sieghard Weitzel]

You go to Accessibility settings and then look for “Home button”.
At the very bottom is a button called “Rest Finger to Open”, make sure this is 
set to “On”.
It’s actually one item up from the bottom, the very last thing is the 
explanation for it:
Open iPhone with Touch Id, without having to press the home button.
Of course you still have to wake up the iPhone first by either pressing the 
home button or the power/sleep button on the side.
If you turn this on you can usually just press the home button and after you 
let go just keep your finger on it for a moment and it will unlock.
Glad re-entering your fingerprint fixed the problem, still a good idea though 
to make sure the home button (and the screen) are nice and clean, all sorts of 
weird things can happen if they get too dirty.It’s

Well, I deleted my finger print and redid it and it works fine now.  Don’t know

you can just put your finger on the home button rather than actually pushing 
it.  If that is possible, where do you set that up at?  I didn’t see it in the 
finger print section of settings, although I think my phone was doing that 
before this mess started.  Thanks.

An app that'll audiodescribe films outside the United States?

[Gerardo Corripio]

You guys have been talking about an app which I understand you install, 
and when going to the movie theater in the US., the film is 
audiodescribed, thus I wonder what infrastructure does the movie theater 
need to have in order for if the app in question would work here in 
Mexico, for instance,in the Cinepolis movie theater chain? Thanks for 
tips and ideas. It'd be an awesome experience going to the movies and 
not have to ask whoever is accompanying me, what's happening every so often!

Re: Big Seeing AI update

Remember in order for all updates to show that it is sometimes necessary to do

Re: mystery of the disappearing apps?

[goshawk on horseback]

the "no longer in the app store" thing I hope still only applies to iCloud 
backups, not iTunes ones, as I did have that issue when I first started off 
with iPhones. that's why I only use iTunes backups to restore from now, as 
until recently, there were no disappearing app issues.

  I don't know if this is your problem but this is my expeerience..When setting 
up a new phone or restoring a phone from a backup, if the apps are no longer in 
the app store or won't work on my current version of IOS the apps won't be 
installed onto my device. If Im incorrect hopefully someone will correct me & 
offer you a solution. 


  Donna


hello all, 
the last time I got a new iPhone, and restored from an iTunes backup, I 
noticed that a few of my apps seemed to have not been installed on to the new 
phone. no matter what I did, I couldn't get them back, even by making another 
backup from an iPhone that I knew they are on, they still didn't install across 
to the new phone. is iTunes starting to get a bit selective, and not copy or 
install apps that it thinks won't work with later IOS versions or something? 
as that's the only answer I can come up with, unless something is going 
wrong.

Re: Battery Plunge

Normally when you see behavior like this, it means that you need to recalibrate 
your battery.  It is recommended to do this after every major ios upgrade for 
best battery performance.  For more information, here is an article that list 
all necessary information.

Subject: turning voice-over on with iPhone x?

hello all,
have been given an early upgrade offer, so am thinking about going for the 
iPhone X. as it doesn't seem to have a home button to triple click to easily 
turn voice-over on however, is there a way to get voice-over going that is as 
easy to do?
also, what is the largest amount of storage available on the iPhone X?

RE: Battery Plunge

Ever since updating to iOS11 my battery status has been doing really strange 
things. I've seen the dramatic plunges in percentage though not to 0 in a 
matter of minutes. I have also seen strange bounces in battery percentage like 
93% that suddenly plunges to 50 or less then shoots back to around 90 when the 
phone has not been plugged in or charged in any way. Often I can correct the 
behavior by powering down the phone, but it only fixes it for a time. I chalked 
it up to iOS11 but I don't know for sure. This is the first post I've seen from 
someone who also has been seeing this behavior.

"Null" When Searching in Dropbox

Hi,


I have a very large number of files on my Dropbox, some of which I'd 
like to access by searching them. However, when I type in something to 
the search field and then look at the results, everything comes up as 
"null". There is no file name. Is there a way around this? Will it be 
fixed in an update?

Fing print problem solved

[Tom Rash]

Well, I deleted my finger print and redid it and it works fine now.  Don't
know what was going on.  Someone on the list mentioned to be sure and set it
up so you can just put your finger on the home button rather than actually
pushing it.  If that is possible, where do you set that up at?  I didn't see
it in the finger print section of settings, although I think my phone was
doing that before this mess started.  Thanks.

RE: mystery of the disappearing apps?

[Mike Ulrich]

If those lost apps were good back in the old IOS 10.3.3 timeline, then a person 
updated to IOS 11 ETC, then those lost apps might not have been compatible with

Ergo; they wouldn’t remain on your IPhone.

Just a thought and my 1.09 cents worth..

Subject: Re: mystery of the disappearing apps?

 

I don't know if this is your problem but this is my expeerience..When setting 
up a new phone or restoring a phone from a backup, if the apps are no longer in 
the app store or won't work on my current version of IOS the apps won't be 
installed onto my device. If Im incorrect hopefully someone will correct me & 
offer you a solution. 

 

Donna

 

hello all, 

the last time I got a new iPhone, and restored from an iTunes backup, I noticed 
that a few of my apps seemed to have not been installed on to the new phone. no 
matter what I did, I couldn't get them back, even by making another backup from 
an iPhone that I knew they are on, they still didn't install across to the new 
phone. is iTunes starting to get a bit selective, and not copy or install apps 
that it thinks won't work with later IOS versions or something? 

as that's the only answer I can come up with, unless something is going wrong. 

 

Simon

Hello Maria,

For whatever reason, I suspect that the app is not getting automatic 
permission to access your phone's camera.


Consequently, in the Settings area of the device, grant access to the camera 
and you should be good to go.  This setting can be found in the privacy area 
of iOS.

HI.

am running an iPhone 6s.  After the latest seeing ai   update it crashes.  I 
uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and got the tutorial.  Once I pressed 
the let’s get started button the app crashes and nothing I do changes the 
behaviour.  This app worked fine in the past.  Any ideas?


Thanks
