Printing messages

[Donald L. Roberts]

I sometimes wish to print incoming text messages or email messages on my 
HP wireless printer.  Please tell me step by step how to do this. I 
understand how to forward messages but just cannot get the hang of 
printing them.


My iPhone S E 20 is running IOS 14.5.

Thanks.

Dictation question

[Donald L. Roberts]

I plan to attempt to use Siri to dictate a rather lengthy email message 
which will necessitate intermittent pauses so I can organize my thoughts 
for each sentence. Just what is the exact procedure for starting, 
pausing and resuming dictation?



Thanks.

Text message question

[Donald L. Roberts]

I sometimes need to send text messages exceeding the 140 character limit 
to non-IOS recipients. Send using SMS is enabled. Assuming such messages 
exceed the character limit, will my S E 20 break this message into 
smaller segments and send them so that the entire message will be 
received and not just the first 140 characters.



Thanks.

Tiles versus tags

[Donald L. Roberts]

I am writing to ask for a bit of clarification. I do understand that air 
tags can be traced and located outside the user's immediate area; 
otherwise, just what are the defining characteristics of air tags as 
compared with tiles?



Thanks.

an email question

[Donald L. Roberts]

I prefer to read email exclusively from my PC rather than on my iPhone. 
However, there are a few situations in which I need to send an email 
message from my iPhone. Please tell me if there is a way to set up email 
on the iPhone in such a way that I will receive no messages but retain 
the ability to send email messages. I prefer not to use imap unless 
there are absolutely no other options.



Thanks for ideas.

Just how do I do this?

[Donald L. Roberts]

My iPHone S E 2 is running IOS 14.4.1.


I called Verizon tech support and was offered the option of a text chat. 
I would be sent a link to begin the process.



So the text message containing the link came in right away. But when I 
viewed the message, I couldn't figure out how to get to the link and 
click on it. Please tell me how to do this. Also, I think I recall that 
text chats do not work well with screen readers. Specifically, are such 
chats easy using Voice Over?



Thanks.

Question re: Tribit sound max pro

[Donald L. Roberts]

First, sincere thanks to those who recommended this speaker prior to 
Christmas. I got it for Christmas and think it is truly a great speaker 
for the price. It generates a great sound and more than adequate volume 
for its size.



Now for the question: As you view the speaker from the front, the left 
most switch is power: the second, scan for blue tooth signal; but what 
is the third button used for? The fourth is volume down, the fifth, 
volume up, and the sixth switches to auxiliary input mode. But please 
tell me what the third button from the left is used for.



Thanks.

a printing question

[Donald L. Roberts]

I recently bought a wireless printer, specifically an HP Envy 7640 all 
in one. A sighted friend helped me set it up to print from my windows 10 
PC.  Now I also would like to be able to print from my iPHone S E 2020. 
I am assuming I need to install an app of some sort, but my friend 
alleges that I can just hit the print button on the iPHone which will 
then find the HP printer and begin to print.



I hate to plead ignorance, but it's my only defense.  Please straighten 
me out. Thanks.

Separating one or more messages from a thread

[Donald L. Roberts]

The problem outlined below is merely a lack of knowledge on my part, not 
a problem with the iPhone or with the operating system which is IOS 14.4



Some of my family members exchange group conversations.  What is the 
best way to isolate individual messages from the conversation for later 
saving or printing?



Speaking of printing, how do I locate the print button?  I believe I saw 
elsewhere that somewhere there is a share button which ultimately leads 
to the print button.



Thanks in advance for feedback.

Identifying barcodes

[Donald L. Roberts]

Now that Envision America is discontinuing production of its barcode 
readers, I am wondering whether there is any consensus as to which of 
the  various O C R programs does the best job of identifying barcodes.  
Frankly, it has been my experience that half of the battle is just 
locating the darn things.

Where is that setting

[Donald L. Roberts]

In earlier versions of IOS, I would go to accessibility, vision and 
braille so that I could connect my iPhone with my Orbit 20. Now that I'm 
running 14.2, I can't seem to locate that setting. Where is it, and is 
it called something other than braille?



Also, please refresh my memory as to the appropriate settings for my Orbit.

Seeking information about shortcuts

[Donald L. Roberts]

Thanks to those who have responded to my inquiry.

What I hope to do is to set up a shortcut which would allow me to give 
Siri a specific command which would connect me to Be My Eyes, and a  
different phrase which would connect me to Aira.  It doesn't matter to 
me whether it is a command for Siri or perhaps a command to tap on the 
back of the S E 2.
, the idea being anything which would require as little interaction with 
the iPhone as possible.

I would appreciate someone pointing out which product I want.  I am

Request instructions using IOS feature whose name I can't recall

[Donald L. Roberts]

Apologies for the vague subject line.  My S E 2020 is running IOS 13.7.  
I know of an IOS feature which allows the user to write text and then 
invoke it with a very brief command.  So I guess you could call it a 
template.



Whenever I request Lyft or Uber, GPS takes the driver to a Safeway 
parking lot behind my house.  So I need to create a brief instructive 
text to send the driver in order to easily find my house.  Please tell 
me what this feature is called and specifically how to use it.



Thanks much.

Request description of a problem and solution if any

[Donald L. Roberts]

Sorry for the somewhat vague subject line.  I tend to update IOS 
versions only after the update bugs and issues have been well discussed 
and evaluated.



After IOS 14 was released, there was some discussion of what was called 
excessive voiceover chattering.  Would someone please describe this more 
in detail, its likely cause, and what if anything can be done to either 
minimize it or eliminate it completely.  Frankly, until I learn more 
about this, I'll stick with 13.7.



Thanks.

A problem with my 6

[Donald L. Roberts]

Hopefully I get quick answers to this question as I am leaving town shortly.


The problem is that the incoming volume on a call is extremely low 
although the speaker volume is more than adequate.  The other party can 
hear me fine both when I am listening on the ear piece or listening on 
speaker phone.  However, I have difficulty hearing the other party when 
I listen on the ear piece.



Are there any suggestions for resolving this issue?


Thanks.

Re: Are there any robot vacuums that are accessible and good for pet hair?

[Donald L. Roberts]

Keith, We bought a Shark iRobot 851 for Christmas and have been quite 
pleased with how easy it is to use. There are only three buttons on the 
unit, clean, deep clean, and return to the docking station.



The iPhone app isn't much to shout about, but the vac itself works fine 
and is easy to use.

iPad questions

[Donald L. Roberts]

I have an iPad 2 which I have neglected for a long time. In fact, I have 
forgotten much of what I used to know about it.  This iPad is running 
IOS 9.3.5, so I wonder if any of the currently available books could 
shed some light on its use. If so, which books would you recommend? 
Also, is there any braille input app which might run on that old of an 
operating system?



Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Question re camera funtionality

[Donald L. Roberts]

I use my iPhone 6 primarily for GPS, Be My Eyes, Face time calls and 
Kindle books. Although the 6 meets my needs very well, I would be 
tempted to upgrade if I thought there would be significant improvement 
in OCR functionality when using apps such as Seeing A I and Voice Dream 
scanner. I get good results with these programs already but am seeking 
your thoughts as to whether a newer phone would appreciably improve things.



Thanks for any responses.

Moribund iPhone 6 no longer on life support

[Donald L. Roberts]

Thanks to help from Sieghard, my iPhone 6 is no longer at death's door 
and is much improved except for one remaining problem. Siri will 
absolutely not respond to any commands regardless of the fact that all 
Siri settings are turned on. I am unable to initiate phone calls or text 
messages by voice; nor can I ask for the MLB scores or ask for the local 
forecast.



Ideas please!

my iPhone 6 is moribund

[Donald L. Roberts]

My primary purpose in writing this post is to inquire whether it is 
possible for Apple to remotely check the status of my iPhone 6 which is 
running IOS 11.4.1.


 No one is around to check the screen, and I can't unlock the phone 
since there is no audible feedback. Will try later today by connecting 
to iTunes.



Symptoms are as follows: Voiceover does not speak even though I asked 
Siri to turn it on. When I press the home button, I feel the vibration 
but hear no ding. I cannot make outgoing phone calls; however, if I call 
my iPhone, I hear the chime and voiceover announces the name of the 
caller which is in my contact list. So I know it is not a volume issue. 
The phone continues to ring even though I use a two finger double tap on 
the screen. Is the speech toggle a three finger double tap?



Thanks for feedback.

Re: I.D. Mate bar code reader instead of iOS barcode app?

[Donald L. Roberts]

Cristobal, We have had an I D mate Omni for more than six years and really 
enjoy using it. The database is updated twice per year and is quite 
comprehensive.

Admittedly, we haven’t played that much with Seeing A I, however, it has been 
our experience that it is far easier to locate the bar code with the Omni than 
with the Seeing A I barcode channel.  The issue for us is not recognition; 
rather, it is locating the barcode.

  Hello list,

  Was wondering if anyone has an I.D. Mate bar code reader and what their 
thoughts are as far as having a standalone device as opposed to using an app on 
their iPhone or some other bar code scanning app like SeeingAI?

  Someone is selling some I.D. Mate bar code readers on a buy/sell list I 
belong to and while I’m somewhat interested, I’m wondering if ultimately, the 
app more or less duplicates what the I.D. Mate bar code reader does? That or is 
the singular task that the I.D. Mate bar code reader is designed for is that 
much more superior at what it does that having a stand alone bar code scanning 
device may be worth h having? Also, for the record, I am completely blind so 
any features that the I.D. Mate bar code reader  may have to assist folks with 
low vision wouldn’t matter to me and not be some sort of plus for having the 
device. 

  Would appreciate any input or observations.

  Thanks,

Questions re TP Link smart plug

[Donald L. Roberts]

I just acquired a TP Link smart plug which can be controlled by the iPhone via 
an app called Kasa.

I had no difficulty downloading or installing the Kasa app on my iPhone 6 
running ios 11.3.1. Additionally, the app sees and controlls the smart plug 
very well, specifically it manually turns it on or off when I wish. 

I’m showing my ignorance from here on because I thought, perhaps incorrectly, 
that the app also had provisions for turning the smart plug on or off at user 
designated times. But in looking through the options on the Kasa app, I thus 
far have found no means of doing this. Emails sent to Kasa support have 
bounced. So if any list member is using this app, I would very much appreciate 
some pointers so as to control my smart plug setting on and off times of my 
choosing.

Re: iPhone 6 battery question

[Donald L. Roberts]

Chris, I know that this sounds almost unbelievable; however, my 6 was back 
in my hand in less than 48 hours from the time I took it into Fed X.  
Furthermore, I was supplied with a tracking number, an email when the phone was 
received, another when it was out for shipping, and a third when it was out for 
delivery. I have never gotten such prompt and thorough service previously. 

Perhaps I should mention that I do not know to where my 6 was shipped for 
service.  I had initially called Apple Care and was emailed an RMA number and 
told to take just the phone and that RMA number to Fed X who did the rest 
including the boxing of the phone for shipment.

  I have an iPhone 6 that will be sent into Apple for a battery replacement for

  I called into Apple (800-MyApple or 800-692-7753).  The support associate 
asked that I turn off “Find My iPhone” so remote diagnostics could be run and 
he determined that the charge cycles had been exhausted and the only resolution

remote diagnostics reveals that your battery is likewise exhausted.

  If you are, like me, too far away from an Apple store you will be given the 
option of sending your iPhone 6 in to Apple for battery replacement.  If you 
are fortunate enough to live relatively near an Apple store or certified repair 
center you will be able to take your iPhone to the nearest store or repair 
center and get the spent battery replaced for the discount price of $29.00.

  The caveat to all this is that there be no damage to your iPhone other than 
that customarily occurring with normal use and care.

Re: Apple proposes new emojis for people with disabilities, CNET

Although I agree that making a big fuss about this is pointless, the entire 
concept is form over substance.

And the fact you can change skin tone and that there are dozens of emojis 
representing today's lifestyles showing families with two fathers, two 
mothers, men kissing men and women kissingt women is not representing our 
so-called modern society? Your friend thinks it looks like a 50's person, 
maybe somebody else doesn't.
I personally see emojis as what they are, fun little things you can put in a 
message, they are not photo-quality images and making such a fuss makes 
little sense to me. But then of course it obviously makes a lot of sense to 
you which shows how differently we all perceives these things. Nobody stops 
you in seeking the support of a million people and petition this to be 
changed, but I'm not so sure there is a lot of point to continueing the 
discussion on this particular list. I guess Mark can say it's totally OK in 
which case I just press delete when I see the subject from now on.

My sighted friend said the figures are cartoon like rather than an image 
that represents an actual person. He said they have a 1950’s look to them. 
Rob, humanity changes and today’s images should represent the people of 
today. For example, almost no one had tattoos
50 years ago. Now, more than half of adults under 35 in the United States 
and Europe have either a tattoo or have died their hair a color that is not 
natural to humans. Similarly, people are bigger now than in the past, Male 
recruits to the U.S. military weighed on average 160 lbs. in 1960. Now, they 
weigh 200.

Re: Getting iPhone battery replaced

[Donald L. Roberts]

Hi Ed, I live in Northern California.  My nearest Apple Store is located in 
Roseville which is perhaps 15 miles from Sacramento.  So I called the 
Roseville store. However, this is not necessarily where my phone was shipped 
for service.  Essentially, Roseville Apple sent me what is tantamount to an 
RMA number which I subsequently presented along with the iPhone at my local 
UPS store.  UPS boxed up and shipped the phone to an address unknown to me. 
I subsequently received emails from Apple apprising me that they received 
the iPhone and later that they had shipped it back to me. I must confess 
that I was amazed at the efficiency of the whole operation.

I got the battery replaced on my iPhone 6 last week.  The process was

hours after I took it to the UPS store.  The nearest Apple store is 
approximately 85 miles from my residence, so taking it to the Apple store 
wasn't feasible.  The thing I also want to mention is that the shipping 
charge wound up being only $3.90 each way.  I paid it up front when I paid

Hi Kathy,

I've heard that the wait time is long. I would go into Background App 
Refresh settings and turn off any apps that you don't want to work in the 
background. Also, go to location Services and turn off apps that don't need 
to know your location. Make sure the ones that do only use it when you're 
using the app, except weather apps. Check Battery settings to see if any 
apps are using a lot of battery, and if so, remove them from the app 
switcher when you're done using them. You could also use low power mode at 
least some of the time.

I hope these suggestions help.

Best,
Anna

Battery calibration

[Donald L. Roberts]

A couple of weeks ago, someone (possibly Kliph) posted instructions for 
calibrating the battery in an iPhone. My 6 is running IOS 11.2.1, and I 
now notice precipitous drops in battery percentage.  I can't say just 
when this started, but I do recall that I was running an earlier 
incarnation of IOS 11.  I would certainly appreciate a repost of those  
instructions if someone retained that message.



Thanks in advance.

Questions re the type 9 app.

[Donald L. Roberts]

A few weeks ago, mention was made of an app called Type 9, which allowed 
the user to write text messages by tapping the numbers 1 through 9 to 
emulate the alphabet and numeric keys. I checked the app store and 
located the app but was uncertain as to whether the $3.95 price was to 
be paid immediately or was an in-app purchase.



Also, in looking at the description of the app, it mentioned that there 
were two ways of using this app, but I didn't understand using the one 
handed mode.



I really need to learn to use this thing if it works well because Siri 
seems to be getting progressively flakier on my iPhone 6 as well as when 
I am in a noisy environment. So I would really appreciate hearing from 
users of this app.  Thanks in advance.

I haven't yet checked the app store to see if there is an update, and 
the version I am using was installed well before the name of the money 
reader was changed to Nant.  I have checked the camera and also the 
permission settings, and all seems to be in order.



My primary purpose in writing is to inquire as to whether others have 
experienced similar problems with this program, and what if any is the 
solution.



Thanks.

Emailing photos from my camera roll

[Donald L. Roberts]

I have several photos in my camera roll which I need to email.  If I 
have a choice, I would rather dump them into my Dropbox  and then email 
with my windows 10 computer. If this is possible, please tell me how to 
do it as I have done almost nothing with photos in the past.  I did make 
sure that any pictures I do not wish to send have been deleted.



If I must attach the photos to an email message rather than dumping them 
into Dropbox, please tell me step by step how to do so.  I have sent 
emails from my iPhone 6 running IOS 10.3.3; just didn't have to mess 
with photos.  And if I didn't ask previously, which is easier, sending 
directly from the iPhone, or dumping initially into Dropbox.



Thanks.

Re: PureFlix

[Donald L. Roberts]

I have a related question.  Regarding the various streaming services, 
i.e. netflix, hulu etc., it really frustrates me that I have found no 
way to actually search the content unless I actually sign up for an 
account.  Has any list member done a serious a-b comparison of these 
services trying to determine which has the widest variety of content. If 
so, I would certainly like to know your findings.



I tend to like older classic movies.  But when I had a trial of Hulu, I 
found very little in the way of classic movies.  Lots and lots of 
relatively current stuff, but few classic movies.

I am sort of thinking of getting rid of Netflix.  I am kind of disappointed
in it.  I do have other services like Acorn TV and Starz, and Feeln, so I
know what you mean about mounting costs for streaming services.  Given the
state of my budget, I may have to cut some of that too.
And I have Cable, only because it provides channels with older programming
like MeTV and Antenna and Retro, and now we have Light TV.
But I do realize if I lived elsewhere, and had a really great indoor antenna
I could get those on OTA tv but I live on a property with a wall of trees
surrounding it and it doesn't give me a good reception.
So it's hard to know what to do. But I will still support the efforts of
something like Pureflix because I want them to know I believe a service like
that is needed.

I'd still support it, given what it is all a bout.

Setting list to nomail

Sorry about the blank messages yesterday evening.  I was attempting to 
set this list to nomail on another account.  I didn't see the specifics

after the list name in the address.  Obviously, it didn't work.

At Bat question

Is it possible to play archived games with the at bat app as you can 
with the gameday audio app for windows?  If so, how does one do so?



Incidentally, using the IOS app, I have not experienced the loss of 
audio as some folks mentioned a few days ago.  I have however noted the 
wide fluctuation in volume levels during the commercial breaks.

Text message problem

[Donald L. Roberts]

My iPhone 6 is running IOS 10.3.1.  I am certain that what I am about to 
describe is a lack of knowledge on my part rather than a problem either 
with IOS or with my phone.



I have a couple of friends who sometimes send me three or four text 
messages in quick succession.  When these messages come in, I can see 
via voice over that there are more than one, and I can determine 
specifically how many messages there are.



The problem occurs when I go into messages and attempt to read each.  
After reading the first one, when I swipe down to delete that message, 
the entire group is deleted.  I want to read one, delete it, and then 
read the next, etc.  In some cases, I may wish to read and retain one or 
more and delete the rest.  Just what am I missing?



Thanks.

Time signal app

[Donald L. Roberts]

I believe it was on this list where someone mentioned an app called Time 
Signal which apparently fed the audio from WWV.



I just checked the app store and found only one app called Time Signal; 
however, the description said nothing about WWV audio.  Also, a couple 
of reviews mentioned the graphics being good, so I wanted to get 
confirmation that this is in fact the correct app and also that it works 
well with voice over.

What's the name of that app?

[Donald L. Roberts]

On a few recent occasions, an app has been discussed on this list which 
allows one to make labels which can be attached to clothing which will 
withstand being put in the clothes washer.



I thought that the app being discussed was Looktel Recognizer.  But when 
I went to read its online description, I got the impression that its 
primary function was to identify objects from information stored in a 
camera library.  Please let me know if Looktel recognizer has a 
mechanism for creating labels or whether we are discussing a different 
app.  If so, what is it?

Re: Moneyreader not running on iphone 5

[Donald L. Roberts]

Becky, I had a similar problem on my iPhone 6 after having used the 
program previously on a 4S.  However, I got it to work well on my 6 when 
I moved the phone farther away from the bill to be identified.  So I 
concluded that because the 6 had a better camera than the 4S, I needed 
to hold the phone farther away from the bill for the program to work.  
My conclusion may be in error, but the bottom line is that I got it to 
work on my 6.

Re: Timer recommendations needed

[Donald L. Roberts]

Thanks, Marie.  What you say is true.  But I had hoped for a program 
where I could specify the interval between which announcements would be 
spoken.

Looking for a timer which can function either as an elapsed timer or a 
count down timer.  The thing which I may not find is a timer which can 
announce the elapsed time at user defined intervals.  For example, I 
would appreciate a timer which would verbalize the elapsed time every 
15 seconds or perhaps every 30 seconds. Ideas please!

a different perspective

[Donald L. Roberts]

The below message is being sent not to inflame the operating system wars 
but rather to share the observations of a satisfied Android user.  I for 
one am a happy user of an iPhone 6 running IOS 10.2.  So here are the 
opinions of a happy Android user specifically of a Samsung Galaxy S6, 
namely Dane Trethowan from the PC Audio list.



Firstly I’d like to wish everyone on list a Very Merry Christmas and may 
you all have a Happy new year in 2017  I find myself in a somewhat 
reflective mood around about this time of year when it comes to Android. 
It was a year ago on 24 December - Yep Christmas Eve - when I received 
my Samsung Galaxy S6 which I’m still using and a year before that - 1 
December 2014 - I received the lovely Samsung Note4 which is still in 
use today. The Galaxy S6 has opened doors to me I could never have 
imagined and taken my using of a mobile phone in a somewhat different 
direction than I had anticipated and I’d like to share my thoughts on 
this topic, perhaps other people may have comments or views they could 
contribute. The Galaxy S6 - as with other Android phones - is exactly 
that, a great phone for making and receiving calls whether you’re using 
some sort of voice recognition/dictation to initiate/answer the call, 
whether its by physical button presses or swiping the screen/placement 
of the phone. Given that the whole idea of a phone is to do just that - 
make and receive calls - The Galaxy S6 is certainly up to the job and 
sounds excellent with HD voice whether you’re using its own internal 
earpiece, hands free speakerphone, headset or another quality Bluetooth 
hands free device, I’ve tried them all and have been suitably impressed. 
I’m now finding that the S6 has turned into a primary media player for 
me and I put this down to a number of factors. First is the Lossless 
APTX Bluetooth transfer that the S6 and other Android phones now use, 
this can make your music come alive on a good portable Bluetooth Speaker 
or a home stereo setup equipped with APTX Bluetooth. Added to that is 
the ability to stream files of your choice, you want to play FLAC files? 
Then go right ahead, install your favourite player such as VLC, pair 
your APTX Bluetooth device and sit back to enjoy the music. I’ve also 
used the Galaxy S6 with an external DAC - Digital To Analogue Converter 
- in the form of the Oppo portable pocket DAC, you haven’t heard your 
music until you’ve heard it through a good DAC and the DAC in the S6 
thankfully isn’t too far behind the Oppo, even supports HD Audio. The 
Samsung Galaxy S6 goes with me everywhere and is constantly in use, 
whether it be giving directions thanks to Google Maps or just sitting in 
my trouser pocket in case of an emergency, I have the SOS function set 
up here which can send information to four nominated parties in the form 
of SMS, these SMS messages include such information as a 5 second audio 
recording, shots taken from the camera at the time of the SOS alert, map 
locations etc. I have the Galaxy S6 set to alert me by vibration when my 
doorbell rings, the S6 can recognise the sound of the bell, you record a 
sample of the sound for the S6 to recognise. Amongst the everyday Apps I 
use is the very nice Aqua Mail eMail client which has one of the best 
layouts I’ve ever seen in a eMail client whether that be Desktop or 
mobile. I have a Twitter feed and thus use Tweetings though I have to 
admit to not using Tweetings to its full potential. Tunein Radio Pro is 
a buzz and even more so now that I have the voice command structure for 
it down to a T using “Okay Google”. But probably most important of all 
is just how well my S6 interacts with my hearing instruments when I’m 
out and about, when a call comes in I just press the home button on the 
S6, the call is answered and the sound immediately transmitted right to 
my hearing instruments so I may hear clearly. Further more - if I’m out 
at a coffee shop where there’s a lot of noise - I can make things easier 
for myself by placing the S6 on a table between myself and the party or 
party’s I’m talking to. The s6 runs an App for my hearing instruments - 
actually the App controls most of the processing for the instruments but 
that’s another topic for another day - but the point here being is that 
the App adjust the microphone of the s6 allowing me to hear the local 
conversation more clearly than the hearing instruments would on their 
own.  Happy Android usage to you all.

Re: IOS 10.2 and phone keypad issues:

I too have these issues on my iPhone 6.

Hi Sieghard.

I don't have the problem at all on my iPhone 6 s but my friend has a 7 
and she does have the problem.



The problem is that the keypad disappears once the call is connected.


It happens if she uses Siri to make the call and it also happens if 
she goes in to the phone appp and selects the keypad dials the call 
manually as well.



Once the call connects the keypad disappears.


She is not a good iPhoneuser yet and by the time she fines and enables 
the keypad again its probably to late.



My phone does not do this at all.


Its frustrating when you need to tenter touch tones to answer menu 
prompts etc.



Many people have this issue and many don't.


Apple is looking in to it but I don't think they know why it happens 
for some and not others.



Thanks.

Hi Don and others,

Is this something a lot of people experience? I haven't noticed any 
difference on my 6S Plus ever since I started using iOS 10, I am not 
using the current 10.2 beta so unless it's a problem here, what is 
exactly the issue?


When I make or receive a call I may have to tap to bring up the 
keypad, but that has always been the case at times, but most of the 
time the keypad is there and I actually have to hide it if I want 
access to any of the other buttons.

Identifi question

Although the answer to this question may be obvious to 
some, I will ask anyway because I am painfully aware of the consequences 
for making erroneous assumptions.


After taking a picture,  one of the choices says something like focus 
locked unlocked.  This is a toggle and changes to locked when double 
tapped.  Please tell me the purpose of this choice.

What is the name of that app?

[Donald L. Roberts]

Within the past two weeks on one of these lists, someone mentioned an 
IOS app which blocked receipt of phone calls and texts from persons and 
numbers not in your contacts. At the time I thought that the poster 
called the app as call dnd+, but when I look in the app store, I find no 
such app and nothing remotely resembling the name.  Incidentally, for 
those with punctuation turned off, there is a plus sign after the 
letters dnd.



Can anyone provide the exact name for this app?


Thanks.

I upgraded my iPhone 6 from IOS 10.0 to 10.1 and got the message that 
the software installation was successful.  However, when asked to enter 
my password, the letters were not present.  This was also true when I 
was asked for a pass code.  I selected the 4 digit pass code, but no 
keyboard was present.  Also, although I was told that quick nav was off, 
quick nav came on immediately when I moved my finger around the 
keyboard.  Just so there is no misunderstanding, I am talking about the 
keyboard on the phone, not a blue tooth keyboard.



I subsequently opened messages with the intent of creating and sending a 
text message.  The result was the same.  This was also true when I 
opened the uber app and attempted to enter a destination.



I then rebooted the iPhone 6, but the problem was still present.  I have 
never encountered such a problem previously.  Suggestions please!

sending everything it hears to Amazon’s or Google’s servers where this 
raw data is mined for certain information. I’d be especially worried 
with the Google Home device since information is Google’s business. I 
guess in a way one can say this about any smartphone, but the 
microphones on these devices are so much better and are made to pick 
up speech from across the room. Has anybody read what Amazon and 
Google are exactly saying in their privacy policy regarding these 
things? Then of course there is the potential of these devices which 
are part of the “internet of things” getting hacked and even if Google 
and Amazon set boundaries and behave themselves, I’m sure if some 
hacker got control of it they would use whatever they might harvest to 
their greatest gain and, most likely, this would be to the greatest 
harm of the user. Does Alexa or Google Home even have any sort of 
security? I shudder of the thought how many of these things are 
connected to WiFi passwords where the router’s password is “password” 
or whatever else the default might be. I’ll hang tough on these things 
until maybe Apple releases something equivalent which hopefully has 
better security as per the article Mary posted about how Home Kit 
devices are apparently a step above of most other things out there. In 
the meantime I just spent a bunch of money on a very fancy dovetail 
jig for my woodworking shop, it’s made of cast aluminum and steel, 
there isn’t a cable on it and the only way to hack it would be if 
somebody took an axe to it **smile**. It won’t tell me the time, what 
the weather Is like and it won’t read a book to me, but it will give 
me endless hours of joy when I make drawers, boxes and chests with 
fancy dovetail joints and it also won’t be replaced with a better 
model next year or, for that matter in 5 or 10 years; sometimes we do 
need to get our priorities straight.

Hello everybody,

As my subject says, I have some questions regarding Uber. I already 
have the app on my iPhone 5s. I'm a little confused as to how it works.
Do I put in my card information, when I set the app up? Also, what 
other information might be needed? I have a friend who uses this app, 
and they have told me that when they request a trip, they can add 
information to their request.
How does that work? Any help, suggestions, thoughts, or chips, it will 
be very much appreciated. I've never used anything like this before. 
So it is a new experience for me.

questions re the Alexa app

[Donald L. Roberts]

I bought the Amazon Echo a couple of months ago and really enjoy it.  I 
did, however, have to install the Alexa app on my iPhone 6 in order to 
get the Echo activated.



Unfortunately, the size of the app keeps growing because all of the 
various Echo commands I have used are saved in that app.  Surely there 
is some way to delete the past usage history.  Please tell me how it is 
done.  I realize I could call Amazon tech support, but if possible, I 
would rather hear how it is done from someone familiar with 
accessibility considerations.



Thanks.

Sorry, but that won't happen.  Also, more and more of what Netflix

stagnantly staying at 4%, at least for the foreseeable future, 
according to legislation in the US, and since most of Canada's

either.

I have a couple questions on getting started with Netflix.

I have the app on my iPhone 5S with iOS 10 but have not yet set up the
account.  Given the issues we have encountered with form fields in the
app store, are there any such problems with setting up a Netflix
account? Would I be better off setting it up from my Windows laptop
and then logging in there or on my phone.

If I'm not mistaken there is a plan that allws use of two devices.  Do
I have to specify what I am using when I set up the account, or do I
just log in from either the phone or computer, depending on which I
wish to use.

I want to get this first step done, and then we'll talk about how to
actually use the service.

Re: iPhone battery cycles

Several basic Ipad questions

[Donald L. Roberts]

I have had several incarnations of the I Phone starting with a 3GS and 
now currently a 6.  I just acquired an Ipad air,   second generation and 
am enjoying it immensely although there are obviously some things I need 
to re-learn.




Question 1.  Where is the rear facing camera on the Ipad?


 Question 2.  Where is the microphone on the Ipad air 2?



Question 3.  Although I do not plan to remove it, where is the sim slot 
on the Ipad and what type of sim does it take?

 Yes, this Ipad definitely has a cim slot according to its previous owner.


Last but not least:

  Question 4.  This is embarrasingly stupid.  But I need to inquire 
because I haven't changed it for so long on my I Phones.  Just where do 
I find the setting to increase the voiceover speech rate?




 Thanks so very much for any responses.

Looktel money reader and Looktel voiceover tutorial

Re: Identifying small batteries

Hi Don

I replied to this message on the other list & so did 1 other person. 
Not sure why you didn't see the messages.


Anyway...

I tested reading my Aa & AAA batteries with the KNFB & camfind apps. 
Both apps were able to identify the brand name of the battery, battery 
size & warning info. It was a bit harder to get the info from the AAA 
battery because the battery is small. I would assume that you could 
use Be My Eyes or even Facetime to obtain the info from the batteries 
being that you will have sighted assistance. The writing on AA & AAA 
batteries is parallel to the seam. The brand name & size is located 
slightly away from the overlapping seam. Being that cell batteries are 
a metallic silver color (shiney) & the size is etched into the battery 
it may be harder for an app to identify.


Donna I'm not sure

Although the below message is only marginally related to IOS, I am 
posting it here as I got no response whatsoever when I posted it to a 
general tech list.




I hope that I can verbalize these questions in a way which makes 
sense. .
Recently several loose (unpackaged) batteries, Double and triple A, 
got mixed together.  Some are regular alkaline and some are 
rechargeable and hybrid rechargeables.  I wish to separate these into 
appropriate groups by using something like Bespecular, Be My Eyes, or 
possibly the KNFB reader for IOS.
First of all, I am wondering whether the camera in my I Phone 6 can 
accomplish this with something as small and curved as a triple A 
battery.  Second, does the relevant info on the battery go with the 
curvature of the battery, or is it written parallel to the seam?  I 
would assume it would be parallel to the seam, but we all know what 
happens when one assumes.  Also, is the information to be read likely 
to be near the seam?
Last question for today.  Although I do not have any button batteries 
whose numbers I need to know, but would my i phone 6 camera be able 
to identify the numbers on a button battery?


Thanks.

Freepop -- seeking information

[Donald L. Roberts]

My iPhone 6 is doing fine on Verizon, but I wanted a free or very low 
cost backup phone service exclusively for phone calls  and text messages.



I keep getting promotional announcements from Freepop.  In the past, I 
had ignored these because I thought that Freepop ran exclusively on the 
Sprint network which I think is a variant of CDMA.  But now Freepop is 
offering a low cost sim and states it will run on most GSM phones, so 
they must have purchased space on either A T and T or on T Mobile.



I guess what I want to know is whether their free service is truly 
free.  If not, what are the gotchas?  I have an old Nokia N82 which I 
intend to use for this backup phone service. this is for backup, not my 
primary phone service.



Feedback is much appreciated.

Group text messaging

[Donald L. Roberts]

I sometimes need to send the same text message simultaneously to several 
family members.  Typically, after opening messages and selecting each 
recipient from contacts, I type the message and then click send.  Is 
there some mechanism whereby I can set up a group message rather than 
having to select each recipient individually?  Incidentally, the IOS 
version is 9.3.2.

Re: Find my iPhone and find my friends

[Donald L. Roberts]

I guess I should have been more specific.


Some of my family members also have iPhones.  Is it possible using only 
voice over to track my family members on my iPhone?  We have used this 
in situations where other family members were tracking me.  Now, if 
possible, I want to reverse the process.

I have always assumed that neither of the above apps would be
accessible to a totally blind user. Since we all know what happens
when one assumes, I decided to inquire about the accessibility of
these apps so I could be certain.

Contacts question -- second request

[Donald L. Roberts]

As I received no response when I posted this on Monday, I thought I 
would try once again.



I do not have an air print printer but would like if possible to make a 
hard copy of my contacts list.  In lieu of that, is it possible to email 
my contacts list so it can be printed?  I realize of course that I can 
backup to iCloud, but I also want a hard copy.



Thanks for ideas.

Apologies to all who responded

[Donald L. Roberts]

This is my last message on the subject of the requirement for a passcode.  I 
sincerely appreciate the efforts of all who assisted in this matter.  I did in 
fact find the option not to use a passcode after entering the passcode in 
settings. Frankly, sometimes frustration interferes with my ability to 
understand and execute instructions which in fact are quite clear.

There should have been a way not to enter a passcode during set up. If you 
double tap on "passcode options" button, there is an option to "don't add a 
passcode". Then you double tap continue to confirm you really don't want to add 
a passcode.

In order to change anything in the pass codes area, You need to enter the 
passcode, and then change settings. It's a security measure to stop somebody 
changing the passcode on you and locking you out of your phone.

Re: Apple music, pandora, or spotify, which is better in terms of accessibility

[Donald L. Roberts]

Would someone please tell me which of the three services mentioned has the most 
comprehensive list of non-contemporary, non-rock, and non-classical recordings. 
 I happen to enjoy vintage jazz, also what we used to call standards (now 
called nostalgia by some)  and pre-rock hit music.  Obviously my choices will 
be more limited than the contemporary things.  So I hope some listers will 
address this question.

Ditto here.  The iOS apps for all three of these services are
accessible.  Each is distinct and different from the other and has a

Re: Be My Eyes

[Donald L. Roberts]

Hello Cara and other interested listers,

I use Be My Eyes two or three times per week.  In fact, Be My Eyes is 
the primary reason that I upgraded from a 4S to an iPhone 6.  The camera 
has made a big difference.  My access was blocked several weeks ago 
after I had a connection with a volunteer where I could hear her, but 
she could neither see me nor hear me.  So the volunteer apparently 
thought it was a crank call and had some means of putting me on a 
blocked list.  Fortunately, I emailed the support team and got things 
resolved, after which things have been working very well.


One other issue is that sometimes a volunteer's ability to speak English 
is a bit marginal, and communication can at times be difficult.  
However, for the most part, I have had good communications with the 
volunteers.

Hi All,

Some friends and I were talking today about Be My Eyes and were wondering how 
much people still do use the app?

I thought I would ask here to see who still uses it and how well it works?

-Just a curious question…

thanks a bunch and have a great night!

Cheers!

Cara

Re: vonage

[Donald L. Roberts]

Maria, I am not Joseph but wanted to respond to your inquiry.  My other 
iPHone is a 4S which I have been using on Page plus for a couple of 
years.  Page Plus runs on the Verizon network.  Come to think of it, you 
are in Australia, so that last statement is not relevant for you.


At any rate, I use Vonage on that phone whenever I have a wi fi signal 
available, and it works very well.  Remember of course that if you are 
using Vonage, you cannot dictate the name of a contact or phone number 
to be called, but you can double tap the names in your contact list to 
be called.  Call quality is adequate, and I have not experienced dropped 
calls with Vonage.


Frankly, I really like it because Vonage has few limitations.  If I 
remember correctly, no one call may last more than 90 minutes, and I 
believe they give you something like 2000 calls per month.  I'll defer 
to others who know more about the specifics of Vonage usage.

Sirius xm app question

[Donald L. Roberts]

Is there any way using the latest Sirius Xm app and IOS 9.02 to enter a 
channel number directly?


I like to listen to "Escape," which is channel 69 on the XM receiver.  
When I listen to that channel on my iPhone, i use the Radium app and 
search for the word "escape."  However, for some reason, word searching 
for escape on the Radium app no longer yields the correct channel.  So I 
called Sirius Xm support and found that the channel number I want is 
751.  But I need to find a way to enter that number directly into the 
Sirius IOS app.  Thus the question, can this be done?


Thanks for ideas.

Thanks to Beverly

I apologize for not writing Beverly directly to express my gratitude, 
but I had already deleted the message from her and didn't have her email

Your suggestion of typing in 751 worked very well for which I am grateful.
