Re: Pinch Gesture On Apple Watch Ultra 2

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi,

It doesn't work on my Ultra 2  either, however interestingly it does 
appear to work on my wife's series 9  with Voiceover running!

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to turn on pinch gestures on my Apple watch Ultra 
2.  So far, no luck. I called Apple accessibility support and, after 
half an hour, the representative told me she didn’t believe the 
feature works when using VoiceOver at the same time.  I thought I’d 
write to the list and see if this is the case.  Has anyone gotten 
this feature to work? If so, could you please pass on any tips you 
have that might get the pinch and other gestures working on my 
watch.  As always, any help is greatly appreciated.


Take care,

Re: Apple TV without a physical screen - Results

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi Feliciano,

I  already know that the APPLE TV does not need to be connected to a  TV 
as such since it works perfectly well plugged into my Meridian HDMI 
switch which fronts my surround processor regardless of whether the TV 
is on or off. I  think it just needs to be able to "see" a  device 
capable of handling a video signal at the other end.


I've ordered one  of the HDMI audio extractors and will give it a try 
with my NAIM  MUSO which supports analogue and optical digital inputs.


Thanks for your efforts as you say APPLE don't necessarily know all the 
answers especially when it comes to connecting to third party equipment.


I'll let you know when I get the converter this weekend what happens.

Hi Feliciano,

That would work fine if you had a speaker which accepts either 
optical or analogue inputs, but Gary stated he has a Sonos Beam 
soundbar which has only a single input and it is also HDMI.


I didn't check, but maybe there is an audio extractor which accepts 
HDMI input and also has an HDMI output and that said HDMI output is 
maybe an older HDMI standard which the soundbar recognizes. I am 
actually surprised hooking the Apple TV 4K directly up to the Sonos 
Beam does not work.

Gary,

In the past I used an HDMI to audio extractor by this company 
Cablematters. This device will allow you to utilize your apple tv 
headless (without a tv)


I bought it on Amazon, it was listed as Cablematters 4k HDMI to 
audio extractor at the time. This particular unit has HDMI input 
where you would connect the Apple TV and has optical and 3.5MM 
output which can be connected to TV/ headphones/ Speakers for audio 
only.


Amazon basics also has a version, you just have to make sure it has 
the outputs you need.

Re: Apple TV without a physical screen - Results

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Well I  picked up a  SONOS Beam 2  last week and connected it to my 
APPLE TV 4K latest version.


I  set up the Beam and plugged it into the EARC port on my LG TV and it 
worked ok. I switched everything off and re-plugged the Beam into  the 
HDMI port on the APPLE TV using the SONOS cable which they confirmed 
supported EARC etc.


The results - nothing! I  couldn't get a sound out of the APPLE TV, 
needless to say as soon as I  re-plugged it into the back of my LG  TV 
it came alive with Voiceover etc so the APPLE TV was working fine.


I  have been doing some GOOGling around and found an APPLE support 
article which seemed to suggest that you could plug the APPLE TV into a  
sound bar to get DOLBY Audio sound.


When I had the APPLE TV plugged into the LG I had a look around the 
settings under video/sound but couldn't find any reference to immersive 
audio or DOLBY Audio.  The article suggested that if this was the case 
your surround equipment settings needed checking.  Presumably in this 
case this means the BEAM.


Any suggestions?

Yes, it would work because that is what receivers are made for just as HDMI 
inputs on TV's are made for this.
Anyways, I have a feeling with the secondor third generation Apple TV 4K you 
will be able to plug it straight into a Sonos Beam or Arc, but hopefully Gary 
will report back once he has picked up his Beam and tried it.

Hi,

For what it is worth, I do have my Apple TV plugged into the HDMI port of my 
receiver.  This is a Marantz receiver.  This works fine with the Apple device 
and does not require my TV to be connected or on for the Apple device to work.  
The Apple device is the newest 4K unit.

Hello all,

I  was so impressed with the new unit, both the well thought out remote and the 
speed of the box, I  gather the new processor in this unit is some 30% faster 
than the older 4K unit, that I decided to see if I could create a sound only

I  intend to pick up a  Sonos beam  as there are some good deals this Black

Hello, to get around this issue, I bought this several years ago. You connect 
an HDMI cable to it, and then to the Apple tv, and you send your audio out 
through the RCA jacks. It's used for those times when tvs or gaming consoles 
don’t have their own audio outputs, and you need to have them for some external 
speakers. It's about a thirty dollar item:

Hi all,

Does anyone know if the Apple TV will work if it is plugged directly into a

a soundbar?

I am trying to create a TV sound receiver for a small bedroom and don't want a

I am suspicious that the Apple TV box will complain because it can't see a

Re: Question about keyboard

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi Rena,

The keyboard is just a  standard PC keyboard with  a normal USB A  type 
plug.  What you do need to make it work with your Iphone or Ipad is what 
Apple call  a USB camera adaptor kit.  It is basically a  small flattish 
piece of plastic with a short stubby lead coming out of one side with a 
lightning plug to fit your Iphone and a standard USB A  type socket on 
the other side into which you plug your keyboard or other USB device.


It was originally developed to enable people to connect their digital 
cameras to their Iphones and upload their pictures etc, hence the name.


It comes in two variants  a USB 2  adaptor as above and a USB 3 variant 
which also has a lightning socket on the adaptor to enable you to power 
your phone in case the device you are connecting puts a heavy load on 
your phones battery.


It is not a passive device, it does contain a  chip to carry out the 
necessary comms protocol conversion work so although you can find these 
adaptors on Amazon much cheaper  be careful as they may not work as well 
as the genuine article.



Hope this helps.

Gary

Re: Another Phone That Won't Talk After Reboot

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

I  had this problem when I upgraded my SE20. At first I thought the 
upgrade was fine until I  deleted a few  e  mails and the phone crashed.


I had the same problem, no way could I  get the phone to speak at boot 
up, eventually I had to get sighted help to input the pass code and 
start Voiceover the long way.


I  had a look through settings and noticed that the accessibility 
shortcut was turned off, which it most certainly wasn't before the upgrade.


I  went into the shortcut settings, moved Voiceover up to the top, 
probably not necessary but I wasn't taking chances and swiped down to 
activate double tapped and exited settings.


I  rebooted my phone knowing/hoping that at least the triple click on 
the home button should get me running if Voiceover didn't start, but to 
my surprise Voiceover came back up as the phone re-started.


I  would suggest that anyone who has experienced this problem double 
check their settings just in case.

In my case, the forced restart just brought me back to the screen where I would 
enter the passcode, and there was still no speech.

I lost speech upon boot up again tonight, but managed to luck into entering my 
passcode correctly after being locked out for the 15 minutes. When I called 
Apple Accessibility, the person I spoke with, had not heard of the bug, but he 
did take my name and file a report. When I mentioned about sending some type of 
logs to Apple, he said that was for a specific issue and not one that was 
happening to several people, as I had mentioned that some people on various 
blindness related email lists also had the problem.

RE: Voice Dream Scanner scanning a book

[Gary Bowers]

Richard - Thanks for the tips. You're a sharp guy!

Turner

Subject: FW: Voice Dream Scanner scanning a book

Greetings,

 

I have a book that was gifted to me by the author after we had served together 
for several years on the Oregon State Library Board.   When I got to the end of 
my term, he gave me a signed copy of his book, “Oregon Disasters” by William L. 
Sullivan, an Oregon travel writer.  

It had been on my shelf for almost 10 years.  I couldn’t find it in an 
accessible format, so decided on scanning it myself after having it spiral 
bound.

I did some tests with a few approaches; Openbook on a flatbed scanner, Voice 
Dream Scanner, SuperSense, and KNFB Reader on my iPhone.

 

I decided for sake of speed and accuracy, Voice Dream Scanner would be my 
choice.

I have a iPhone 13 Pro with 256 GB of storage.

 

I have an old FOPYDO scanning stand that I used since I had the book spiral 
bound and wouldn’t need to deal with trying to get both facing pages at once.  

I set Voice Dream Scanner to batch mode and turned off the auto capture.  Using 
my Orbit Reader 20 Plus, I put the focus on the Capture Image button, 
positioned the phone on the stand and put the book on the bed of the stand, 
with a single page facing up.

I hit the select button on the Orbit Reader and captured the first page.  
Turned the book over, and did the second page.  Flipped to the third page and 
repeated.

 

After 232 pages, I was kicked out of the app.

 

Fortunately, the pages were still in the app, so I saved them to Voice Dream 
Reader, cleared the Scanner app, and scanned the last 40 or 50 pages.

Saved that last part to Voice Dream Reader.

The scanning results are quite excellent.

I then exported the text from VDR and emailed the two batches to myself, opened 
then in Microsoft Word, and combined them into one file.

 

In the beginning of the book are a lot of maps with words at odd angles and 
scattered which no scanning tool, even Openbook, could make sense of.  I 
noticed some hyphenated words that split between two lines like the word 
fictional that would be rendered fic- 

tional.

Assuming there will be a fair number of hyphenated words and a few other map 
pages, Word’s spell checker gave it an 89% score.

That is damn good in my book.

Once I started listening to the book with Voice Dream Reader, and got beyond 
the Introduction where there was a map or two, I listened to about 34 pages of 
content that had almost no errors.  I heard maybe two over 34 pages.

I will finish the 250 page book over the next couple of weeks and give an 
update as to how accurate it was; but I am pretty confident that the accuracy 
when on text without funny maps will be plus 98%.

 

For those who do not know about spiral binding a book; I learned of having this 
done about 43 years ago.

I used an OPTACON quite a bit in those single days, and had a nice Webster’s 
Collegiant Dictionary that I could look words up in, but it was about 2.5 
inches thick and a pain to force open in the middle.

So, I called around and found a printer who would remove the hard back binding, 
and spiral bind it into 4 volumes.

It wasbrilliant!

Fast forward to the current day and my sighted wife, who plays piano some, has 
been buying books of piano music and having them spiral bound so they would lie 
flat on the piano. 

Any store that does photo copying probably has the ability to do spiral 
binding, like the UPS stores or FedEx stores.  We use a UPS store near us.

I had her take this book to get it spiral bound.  It cost about $4.50.

They leave the front and back cover, so you only lose the spine of the book.

Well worth it to make scanning that much easier.

 

You may wonder why I didn’t take advantage of the column recognition feature in 
Voice Dream Scanner; well, I don’t have a good set up to do that with the width 
I would need, and this proved in the end I think to be faster.

Is there a monthly workout summary on watch or Iphone?

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi all,

Has anyone found out an easy way to find out how many KM you have run 
during your workout sessions over the course of a month?


There is a plethora of information provided via the health and activity 
apps but so far I haven't found out how to get a monthly total (this is 
only for distance covered during workouts and not in general).



Thanks


Gary

Re: Apple watch Polar compatibility?

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Thanks,

Yes, I have seen a number of models which mention bluetooth and apps but 
that is about all they say. I prefer to gethold of a user manual and do 
some digging so I can ask the right questions of the supplier given that 
most of them haven't a clue when it comes to blind accessibility.

Dwayne, That is why I do not buy books through Apple. I used to buy them 
through Audible, but now use a service called Libro.fm which has the same books 
as Audible, minus the Audible originals, and you can download them as MP3 files 
with no DRM, so you can listen with Voice Dream Reader, or their own app which 
is quite accessible.
The price might be a little higher than audible, because they do not have a 
yearly price, just $14.95 per month, but you can suspednd your membership any 
time and the books are yours to keep.

Re: Screen shots and providing evidence of inaccessability to software developers?

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi Richard,

Just to be clear, are you saying that screen recording will record the 
image of the screen as seen by a sighted person along with voiceover 
output and my commentary if I enable the mic?



The app is fairly large and complex with multiple levels and options 
within each screen. If screen recording works as above then I may as 
well point out all the other inaccessable features which I haven'nt 
bothered with in the app before because I thought it would be too 
complicated to explain to the developer.



thanks

Gary

Anyway, if you flick right to use Microphone and double tap then flick back 
left to start recording you will not only get VoiceOver speech, but you can 
also record your comments.
Of course, once you start the recording you will want to go back to your app so 
there will be some excess stuff in the recording.
Once you are done, there will be an icon in the upper left to get back to the

Screen recordings show up in photos as a video.
You should  then be able to share that with the developers.

Hi all,

An app I use to control my music server has over the last year become 
increasingly inaccessable.  For example the labels associated with buttons seem 
to have collapsed to a single letter (and not necessarily the first letter of 
the word label).

Am I correct in thinking that if I take a screen shot it will only show exactly 
what a sighted person would see and not what Voiceover is speaking?

If so does anyone know a way of taking a screen shot or something which will enable a 
software developer to "see" what Voiceover is seeing/producing to the blind 
user.

Is there perhaps some diagnostic tool that could be used to get a dump of 
voiceovers speech buffer?

Whilst I  could or may have to, write down each issue and explain in detail to 
the software developer what is happening a dump of Voiceovers output would be a 
far more elegant and direct diagnostic tool.

Thanks in anticipation

iPhone 12 mini: Size, release date, price, specs and colors

By Adam Ismail 12 hours ago

The iPhone 12 mini packs a lot into a very compact design

  


IPHONE 12 MINI SPECS

Price: $699

Display: 5.4 inches OLED (2340 x1080)

Colors: Black, White, Red, Green and Blue

CPU: A14

Storage: 64GB, 128GB, 256GB

Rear cameras: 12MP wide (f/1.6), 12MP ultra-wide f/2.4)

Front cameras: 12MP TrueDepth (f/2.2)

5G: sub-6Ghz, mmWave

Battery: Up to 10 hours video streaming

Size: 5.18 x 2.53 x 0.29 inches

Weight: 4.76 ounces

The iPhone 12 mini is arguably the most intriguing new iPhone 12 that Apple has 
launched. For one, it's the most compact new iPhone in years - even more so 
than the existing 4.7-inch iPhone SE. It also offers all of the same features 
of the regular iPhone 12 for a much more affordable price.

The iPhone 12 mini features a 5.4-inch OLED display, Apple's new A14 Bionic 
chipset, 5G connectivity and a dual-lens rear camera armed with Cupertino's 
latest computational photography knowhow. It costs $699, which is $100 less 
than the 6.1-inch iPhone 12.

"   New iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro release date, price, specs and leaks

"   What's different? iPhone 12 vs iPhone 12 Pro

"   Prime Day deals: See all the best offers right now!

As the cheapest among the four new iPhone 12 handsets, the iPhone 12 mini looks 
as if it could be a front runner among the best small phones. It will 
undoubtedly provide Apple with a direct competitor to value-oriented flagships 
like the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Google Pixel 5. Here's everything you need 
to know about the iPhone 12 mini.

iPhone 12 mini price and release date

The iPhone 12 mini has a release date of November 13, and starts at $699. At 
this price, you're getting 64GB of storage. Pre-orders begin November 6, and as 
with every iPhone, the mini will be sold at all major carriers.

  


The 128GB version is $50 more expensive, at $749, while the top-of-the-line 
256GB variant will cost $849.

iPhone 12 mini size and design

The iPhone 12 mini sports slimmer bezels and a flatter frame, like the rest of 
the iPhone 12 line. In some ways, it hearkens back to the iPhone 5 days. The 
notch unfortunately looks to be the same size as it was on previous models.

Apple calls it the smallest, thinnest and lightest 5G phone in the world.

iPhone 12 mini colors

  


The iPhone 12 mini comes in five colors: black, white, Product Red, green and 
blue. The blue and green colors look and feel fresh on this handset, while the 
black and white options are for those who are looking for something more 
conservative.

iPhone 12 mini: Display and Ceramic Shield

  


iPhone 12 mini resting above iPhone 12 (Image credit: Apple)

Apple is incorporating a new type of cover glass for the front of the iPhone 12 
mini, called Ceramic Shield. Developed in conjunction with Corning, Apple says 
this new technology is tougher than any smartphone glass, citing 4x better drop 
performance than existing glass used on iPhones, and the biggest step forward 
for durability yet for Apple's handsets.

  


With the iPhone 12 line, Apple is moving from LCD displays in its cheaper 
models to Super Retina XDR-quality OLED displays across the board. In the 
iPhone 12 mini's case, that technology is packed into a 5.4-inch frame. That 
makes the iPhone 12 mini's footprint markedly smaller than even the iPhone SE's.

iPhone 12 mini specs

The iPhone 12 mini should be mighty when it comes to performance. It employs 
the A14 Bionic - the first-ever 5-nanometer chip in the phone industry, just 
like the rest of the iPhone line. You'll see 50% faster graphics by Apple's 
estimation thanks to its new GPU design, which will make games look better than 
ever.

iPhone 12 mini cameras

Apple is employing its first-ever seven-element lens in the iPhone 12 and 
iPhone 1

Re: IPHONE SE2020 WIFI stopped working

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi all - problem solved!

Rang Apple and told them what I had done already. they suggested 
re-booting Router as Debby suggested, it worked.


I didn't do this earlier because nothing has changed on my local network 
for months and months. Now of course i  remembered that last night I 
disconnected my WIFI enabled TV and i think the router may have got 
confused between this old IP address allocation and my SE re-joining the 
network.


Could kick myself for missing this, guess I should make up a checklist 
and follow it religeously  next time.


Thanks for coming back so quickly.

Hi Gary,

I have not heard of this. I have an SE 2020 and haven't experienced this 
problem. I have some long shot ideas, but I think Richard's idea is probably 
what you will have to do.

Have you rebooted your modem/router? Any chance you can go to somewhere else 
and try another wifi network?

Good luck! Take care and be safe!

Subject: IPHONE SE2020 WIFI stopped working

Hi all,

Before I  send my 3 month old SE back as faulty has anyone come across this 
problem already?

I am running IOS 13.7  and haven't changed any setting recently.
Yesterday I noticed that although my local WIFI network was still showing in 
the status bar my SE couldn't connect to the Internet.

My home WIFI is working fine and everything else can connect to the Internet, 
including my wife's SE.

I turned off the WIFI on my SE and everything worked just fine using mobile 
data.

I went into settings/reset and reset network connections, re-input my password 
to re-join the home WIFI, no errors  about passwords or not connecting and 
again my local WIFI network showed up in the status bar.

but once again I could not connect to the Internet via WIFI.

Has anyone else had this problem happen to them, wondering if it is a generic 
SE bug?

Thanks for any thoughts.


Gary

Hi, Everyone,

i have the Charge 4 Fitbit and really like it.  However, I was able to 
pair the device with my phone, but when I wanted to finish the setup, it wanted 
me to put in a 4-digit code that was on the device itself.  I had to resort to 
sighted assistance for that.  Also, when a new update comes out, be it the 
device or your phone, you need to have your Fitbit close to the phone in order 
for it to receive the new update.  I didn't realize this at first because on 
the Charge 3 that I had before, I didn't need to do this phase.  I'm not trying 
to discourage anyone from getting one of these, but now, whenever there's an 
update, even for my phone, I make sure I have the Fitbit  plugged in near the 
phone.  Hope this helps.

Bluetooth keyboard problems with Apple TV 4th gen HD

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi all,

I  seem to have a strange problem with my Apple TV when using a 
Bluetooth keyboard.


It is the same for both my Logitech K780 and my Apple wireless keyboard 
so my suspicion is that it is the Apple TV that is at fault.


Basically I  can type in letters, numbers symbols and use the escape and 
enter keys but the tab and cursor keys just don't work at all.


Quicknav doesn't work and I can't even tab between fields.

The Apple TV is on the latest software and the problem has been 
happening for a while. I just put up with it and used the horrible 
remote control that comes with the TV but I thought I would see if 
anyone else had come across this problem before I bite the bullet and 
reset the TV back to factory defaults and restart with a clean build.



Any suggestions welcome.


Gary

Re: help with apple watch issue

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi simon,

Yes, I have come across this on my series 4. Whilst it may be a software 
issue there are also a couple of other points to bear in mind.


Firstly if you have auto pause enabled on your workouts if the watch 
thinks your heart rate has dropped below what it judges to be a work out 
heart rate  it will auto pause the workout session, resuming once your 
heart rate increases.So if you are fit or have a naturally low heart 
rate you can find the watch pausing your walking workout (and resuming 
it etc).


Unfortunately the watch doesn't yet have a method for setting your own 
"workout" heart rate so it does get it wrong sometimes, try turning off 
the auto pause function. Unfortunately this also means you probably 
won't get the "It looks as if you are working out" auto workout start 
prompt.

Morning all,

I have a question re workouts on an apple watch Series 4,

I use my apple watch workout daily,

The main work out is the outdoor walk

What I’m finding is that what I see in the activity report which is 
kilojoules   (movement), exercise (minutes moving),


And standing,

I’ve noticed over the passed few months that the exercise or movement 
time recording doesn’t meet with what the outdoor walk in this case 
workout report.


Tonight I walked for 35 minutes on the workout,

After walking 25 minutes to work this morning and again on my walk 
home so approx. 1.5 hours of walking,


Yet my exercise activity app on the watch records only 16 minutes,

I want to know if anyone else has noticed such a thing and if so what 
they did?


Note this is an apple watch sport series 4,

Running Watch OS 6.1.1

And sincs to my iphone 11 pro max running the latest Ios version.

Not that it should matter but all are space grey.

Cheers for any information people might be able to assist with.

Cheers,

Re: Apple music, tune in radio and Homepod

Hi all and thanks for your responses.

I finally got to the bottom of this issue in this article from Mac 
rumours see below.

I  can get other stations but it seems somewhat hit and miss, I think I

I have just acquired a Homepod and thought I would see if I could access

My question is do I need to have an Apple music subscription to gain

Apple music, tune in radio and Homepod

Hi all,


I  was browsing the web the other day and thought I saw mention that IOS 
13 for the Homepod brought with it access to radio stations like tune in 
radio etc.


I have just acquired a Homepod and thought I would see if I could access 
mainstream radio stations but without any success.  I did see one 
commercial station in the radio section on my music app on my phone but 
couldn't get to anything else.


My question is do I need to have an Apple music subscription to gain 
access to all these new stations?


At the end of the day all I want to do is to be able to say "hey Siri 
play BBC Radio 2..."  just as I can with my Echo.


Before anyone responds I know I could stream stations from the BBC

Loss of "recents" in phone app when SIMM dislodged

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi,

subject line says it all.

My wife managed to dislodge her SIMM tray whilst removing her Iphone 7  
from its smart battery case and as a result all the entries in her phone 
app under "recent" have disappeared even though the SIMM is now back in 
place.


Is it possible to recover them or is it one of Apples "security" 
features that purges the phone when the SIMM is removed?


Any suggestions welcome.

Hello Everyone,

I am delighted to report that I spoke with two people at Over Drive HQ to 
report the lack of VoiceOver accessability in iOS 13.

I also received a callback from the manager of the development team who assured 
me that the team is now aware of the VoiceOver problem in iOS 13 and that the 
team will do its best to resolve this issue as soon as possible.  

I was touched by the level of concerned the manager expressed, regarding this 
matter and impressed that he actually enabled VoiceOver on his iPhone running 
iOS13, while on the call with me, and experienced the glitch, himself.  

So, let's hope for the best and I'm certain we will see some iOS13 Over Drive 
VoiceOver access improvement, soon.

Hi to all.  I am really having fun with my new phone.  I have all kinds of fun 
apps ready to go.  I'm signed into audible, dropbox, zoom, and be my eyes as 
well as bard mobile.  I didn't even have to sign into zoom as I used google and 
it kind of logged in all by itself.  I tried be my eyes and it works ok.  I'll 
have to figure out why my camera shows up blurry to the be my eyes person, but 
other then that I'm doing well.  Once I figure out how to put in a meeting ID 
for zoom, I'll be in good shape.  I don't have an email app yet, but I might 
get gmail since that's what I use on my computer.  Bard mobile is a lot of fun, 
and I have a lot of books downloaded to my phone ready for reading.  Apple 
accessibility is very helpful as well as a very good friend of mine.  I have 
google play music, google assistant, and google home.  I have successfully set 
up my google home and it is working once again.  Google assistant is also a lot 
of fun.  I have an app with different versions of the Bible in audio format 
that works pretty well.  I also have seeing AI on my phone as well.  Pandora is 
on my phone, but that isn't very accessible.  I have tunin radio which I can 
access with my google assistant.  I know I'll learn more from this point on.

Question about Siri

Hi,
I heard something on the news tonight about Siri. Not sure exactly sure what 
they said, but it seemed that they might be doing away with either Siri or Hay 
Siri. Does anyone know anything about that? It had something to do with 
Privacy. Surely they are not doing away with Siri. 
Thanks for any information on what this might mean for Siri.

Re: voicemail question

[GARY WILLIAMS]

Hi, 
I have blocked some calls that I didn’t know the person. They can call back, 
and if they leave a voice mail, it will go in to blocked messages. I had to go 
in to my blocked messages and clear them, or delete them. Hopefully I didn’t 
confuse you. Verizon is our carrier. They helped us figure it out, and from 
time to time, we still have to go in and clear our blocked voicemail, even 
though we don’t get the calls because they have been blocked.

Unable to input text into edit box with K780 Blue tooth keyboard

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi all,

I have migrated my wife from her old Iphone 6  to an Iphone 7 running 
the latest IOS.


Her Logitech K780 seems to be unable to input text into edit fields even 
though Voiceover says "editing", the phone just gives a  kind of "bonk" 
tone.


She can navigate around the screen fine and go into Apps and turn quick 
nav on and off just not input any text.


Has something changed between the 6 and 7  or are we just missing something?

Thanks

Deleting e mails in bulk

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi,

After a glitch during the migration from one phone to another the mail 
box seems to have tripled in size.  I think the restore recovered the 
trash back into the in box so now I have over 1200 emails to delete.


Is there a quick way of deleting e mails in bulk or even emptying the 
Trash in bulk as in Windows etc?


Thanks

Restoring a backup to a new phone

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi all,

When restoring a  backup of an old phone to a  new model is it necessary 
for the new phone to have the same name as the original phone? I changed 
the name on the new phone slightly to make identification easier but 
there seem to be some odd quirks, not major, but I am wondering if 
perhaps I should have kept the name the same?


For example a  purchased song on the old phone was accidently deleted. 
When I search for it on Itunes it shows up as purchased but pressing the 
download button doesn't do anything (using the same Apple id of course).


Any comments welcome.

Re: Transferring files onto an Iphone for use with Voice Dream reader

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi,

Is Itunes file sharing still available in the latest version of Itunes?  
When I looked in the Voice dream reader user guide it spoke about 
choosing Apps and selecting voice dream reader and then selecting the 
file to be transferred.


I can't find any reference to apps in my current version of Itunes and I 
vaguely remember some discussions on this list about apps being removed  
from Itunes.


Any help welcome.

Any advice on the best way to transfer audio books etc onto an Iphone for use

Any pointers to podcasts on doing the transfer would be useful.

Crazy problem with voicemail

[GARY WILLIAMS]

Hello,
We received a voicemail last night and we were able to play it, but, when we 
went to play it again it would not play. When we double tapped on the play 
button, we were kicked out of the voicemail and back to the list of voicemails. 
We were able to play older saved voicemails, but not this one. We noticed that 
it took a long time for the voicemail transcription to show up, and it was 
after that, that we couldn’t play the voicemail. We closed the phone app, and 
rebooted the phone, to no avail. We even plugged up the phone to see if that 
would help and closed the app and rebooted again. 
Has anyone had a similar problem and does anyone have any suggestions? Also, 
can you turn off the voicemail transcription? 
Thanks for any help.
Nancy and Gary

Re: Keyboard settings for IPHONE 7

Hi and thanks for your response.

s.

I have identified the problem, 3D touch was enabled and set to sensitive 
hence all the unwanted menus etc popping up everytime I moved my finger.


I've turned it off whilst I set up the phone.  I may turn it back on at 
some stage but I am not a fan of it for VIPs


Thanks

If this is a brand-new phone Did you make sure there is nothing else covering 
the screen, new iPhones come with a plastic film covering both front and back, 
did you make sure the screen is clean and what typing style do you normally 
use? If you normally use standard typing where you have to double or split tap 
each letter and it got set to touch typing I could see how this could seem 
confusing since with touch typing al you have to do to type a letter is to find 
it and then lift up  your finger.

Orbit Reader List

[GARY WILLIAMS]

Hi Everyone,
We have tried several times to get on the Orbit 20 reader list without success. 
We called APH and they said the problem might be with our mail server. We don’t 
think so, but, we were wondering if anyone else using Yahoo was able to get on 
the list. We have been able to get on every other list we have subscribed too. 
We were wondering if anyone had any suggestions or thoughts about this problem. 
Thanks.

Re: Synching Audible book on to Apple watch

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Well I did some looking around the forums to see what others had to say 
on the Audible watch  App.


Everybody has had problems whatever the phone or watch model and the 
advice provided by Audible themselves is contradictory. There is a 
suggestion to turn off WIFI on the watch as the App uses Bluetooth but 
others say turn Bluetooth off on the phone to force it to use WIFI which 
is faster.


A second point to come up is that there is a two stage process, which 
isn't visible using Voiceover, an authentication stage and the transfer 
itself.  If the watch is locked before the transfer stage starts the 
process hangs.  But putting it on the charger as recommended locks it.


So all in all it is a pretty dismal start for a new App and thats not to 
mention the Voiceover inaccessability issues.


So as others on the forums have said the best course of action is to 
delete it off the watch and wait until there is a clear indication in a 
future Audible App upgrade that the watch App has been fixed!

Sorry, for those who don't know the Virgil Flowers books by John Sandford, 
that's usually how the agent from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension 
is referred to.
Anyhow, it's a 10 hour 2 minute book, it's been saying "Cancel syncing" for a 
while when I checked which indicates it should still be syncing.
After maybe 20 minutes it now says:
Paired Apple Watch is not responding
Connect your watch to a charger, make sure airplane mode on Apple Watch is 
turned off and try connecting your watch and phone again.
So yes, this works great, it's such a smooth experience that it makes we want 
to immediately delete the Audible app from my Apple Watch and just use my 
iPhone or Alexa enabled speakers where listening to a book just works.

Subject: Synching Audible book on to Apple watch

Hi,

Has anyone managed to successfully sync and Audible book from their
IPHONE across to their APPLE watch?

I am running the latest IOS and watch OS on my IPHONE 6  and watch
series 2.  All I get is a message saying "can't communicate with watch"
which is strange as I can ping the phone from the watch and all my other
Apps communicate across the two devices fine.


Thanks

Re: Synching Audible book on to Apple watch

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi Anna,

Glad its not just me then! I was trying to sync a  15 hour book and the 
phone which has an APPLE smart battery pack was right next to the watch 
which was on the charger.


I  think I will try some experimentation and see if there is anything on 
the forums about this and possibly complain to Audible, not really a 
good start for a new watch App.



Thanks

Hi Gary,

I got a 1.5-hour book onto the watch when it was plugged in overnight. I 
couldn't transfer a 9-hour book, though. Transferring is slow and likely to 
fail, so your best bet is to do short books. And nothing will transfer unless 
the watch is on the charger.

HTH,

Does series 4 watch still exhibit the premature closure problem?

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi all,

I am thinking about upgrading my series 2 watch to a series 4. But 
before I  do so I wanted to find out from any list member who already 
has one or have had chance to try one out if it still has the long 
standing premature closure problem which is so annoying on previous 
versions.



If it is not entirely clear this problem is where you tap the watch to 
do something and almost immediately before you can do anything, it closes.



Thanks

Weird Thing Going On

[GARY WILLIAMS]

Hi List,
We have noticed that the list of calls in recents both all calls, and missed 
calls have disappeared. Yesterday we got them back by rebooting the phone, but 
today after rebooting the phone the list is still empty. 
Has anyone else had this problem? I delete calls from numbers I don’t know and 
block them. Can’t do that because it says empty list. 
Thanks for any help or advice on this.

Kinsa Thermometer

[GARY WILLIAMS]

Hi everyone,
We bought a Kinsa smart ear thermometer from Amazon. We downloaded the Kinsa 
app and followed the steps to pair the thermometer with our i phone 7. The 
thermometer shows up in the list of bluetooth devices, but, when we take a 
temperature the thermometer fails to connect with the Kinsa app. Does anyone 
have any suggestions, and does anyone know of a number to contact Kinsa 
support. We looked and there is a number to send a text message which we did, 
but to no avail so far. 
Any suggestions would be helpful. 
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I am going through chemotherapy and need an accurate thermometer. Does anyone 
know of a thermometer that works with the i phone and that is accessible? 
Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Voiceover turning itself off

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi all,

Thanks for your suggestions.  On Apple support advice we reset device 
settings and this restored Voiceover to normal working. Thankfully we 
didn't have to do a full restore which would have been the case if 
Voiceover had been corrupted in some way.


I was quite surprised how little had to be done afterwards to restore 
full functionality, all the apps retained their login status.

Hi,
You may want to seriously consider doing a full restore.

I’m not sure what device you’re workin with, or the iOS version.
But no matter what, this isn’t normal.

Thanks,
Jessica

It might sound silly, but make sure your screen is clean, I have seen strange 
things happening with a greasy or dirty screen and if you have a screensaver on 
that phone make sure it is still applied well.

Hi,
if we use SIRI it says voiceover on within settings/accessibility with no 
speech it says nothing.  I should add we do hear the usual swipe noises etc.

If we use SIRI a  second time it says Voiceover is already on.
Is there anything that could be muting Voiceover but not anything else?
Music plays and the Phone rings and SIRI works so I am a bit stuck as to what 
is going on!

My thought was that Voiceover was crashing for some reason so we check the free

Has anyone come across this before and know of a quick fix before I go to Apple 
support who I  expect will tell me to restore the phone.

Re: Voiceover turning itself off

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi,

yes, I have already tried that, too no avail.  I have spoken to Apple 
accessability who were very helpful.  It looks like a reset first and if 
that doesn't fix it then a full restore which is a bit of a pain!


thanks

This turns speech on/off but leaves Voiceover running.

Before I go on a wild goos chase, reset the watch and restore it as a new

I did find it last night but have a question.  When it tells you your weight, I 
can't figure out which percentages are which.  I have them all turned on.  
Then, it says something about tracking 7 days or 30 days. 
Sorry, I'm not looking at the app so am not being exact and don't remember what 
the wording was.  Can you tell me what all that is.  Which percentage is fat 
and witch is muscle?  Then there is another percentage that I don't understand. 
 If you know more about the app and how to set up goals or whatever they call 
it, that would be super.  Thanks much.

Hello all dicers,

 

So, hoping someone can help me.

Is there a way to surrender games that   you are playing with people?

There are 3 games that these players are just not playing for days on end, and 
I am 1 move from losing anyways and just want to be done with the games.

Its been 3 days sense they have taken their turn.

If they take a turn, then they will wait another 3/4 days to take another turn.

I have had these games going on for like a month.

I know that when playing against the computer, you can surrender, just can't 
find that feature when playing against people.

Thanks for any help.

RE: Harassing Huboodle Hurdles

Unfortunately, I'm afraid to tell you it sounds as though that it's time to 
remove Huboodle from the app switcher & power off your phone. I hope that you 
have saved your progress in the game. I've noticed that after listening to an 
audiobook, playing YouTube videos &/or music, Huboodle stops responding 
properly when the app remains in the app switcher while using other sources of 
media.

When you open Huboodle, you are on a home screen. on the bottom there are a few 
tabs, and one of the tabs is a games tab. Double tap on the games tab, and 
battle cats, word war, word builder, trivia trail, poker, and black jack should

Hi Sieghard.

 

Have you considered trying out the Sleep Phones from www.sleepPhones

They come in both wired and BT versions. I have not tried them personally but 
they sure sound like they would fit the bill for you.

Subject: Thoughts about some new bluetooth toys

 

Hello,

 

I’m a huge Audible/audio book fan and often listen at night after my wife goes 
to bed. I therefore am always on the lookout for the perfect way to listen so 
it doesn’t disturb my wife but so it’s also comfortable for me since I often 
fall asleep listening. 
I often just use my iPhone and wired Earpods, but sometimes that of course 
results in me waking up during the middle of the night lying on my iPhone and 
with Earpods wrapped around me. I have tried a pillow speaker which I purchased 
from Amazon, but it wasn’t for me. I sometimes use my Plantronics Voyager Edge 
which just a single earpiece and if it ends up somewhere in the bed under me 
it’s not so bad, but it’s also not quite perfect yet.

I recently purchased two larger headsets and something called a bluetooth 
receiver/transmitter, here some links:

 

Jabra Move – link to the canadian Jabra website 
 

Jabra Move – link to Best Buy Canada 

 , regular $109.99 on sale until today for $69.99

I actually bought this on Amazon.ca for $88 so seeing on Best Buy Canada on 
sale for $69.99 is a bummer, but anyhow, I quite like this headset. It’s an 
on-ear headset which is very comfortable and well-built. Only thing for me is 
that the on/off switch which  is a slider is on the right ear and the 
play/pause button and volume up/down is on the left which I find a bit awkward.

It claims 8 hours of battery life and can be used in wired mode as well and I 
quite like it when headsets offer both options.

 

Sony MDRXB950BT/B on Amazon.com 

  $118.00

Sony MDRXB950BT/B on Amazon Canada $199.99 

 

Sony MDRXB950BT review 

 

These are over-the-ear headphones which have noise cancelling and a base boost 
feature and they are awesome, but a bit larger than the Jabra Move.

I was able to get them on sale on Amazon Canada during Boxing Week for $124.99 
Canadian which is under $100 US so that was a really good deal.

I love the controls, the on/off is a button, but the headphones have a very 
pleasant and high quality female voice and say things like “Power On”, “Power 
Off”, “Pairing mode” etc.

The play/pause is on the right ear and it’s a button but it ccan also be 
pusshed up/down for skip/jump back and if you push and hold it it will fast 
forward/rewind.

They sound fantastic, are very comfortable and what I would expect from Sony. I 
have seen reviews where they are favouribly compared with Bose and Beats 
headsets which cost much more.

 

The last item I bought is a dual mode bluetooth receiver/transmitter, it can 
connect to a TV, stereo etc. by 3.5mm/RCA analogue or optical digital 
connection and this allows you to make a non-bluetooth device into one you can 
listen to with a bluetooth headset or speaker. Here the Amazon.ca link:

 

Miccus LONG RANGE Dual Link Bluetooth Transmitter and Bluetooth Receiver, aptX 
Low Latency audio. Wireless adapter for TV, stereo, speakers, Phone, PC. Auto 
optical pass through - (Home RTX 2.0) 

 

It’s a little box, maybe the size of an iPhone 7 (not a Plus) and it has a 
3.5mm analogue input and output in the back as well as an optical digital input 
and output and it comes with a little antenna which is attached in the back in 
the middle. It also has a micro USB port for power.

I bought this in order to basically bluetooth enable my Sonos system. I have 
waited for a long time for Sonos to come out with a Sonos headset, but at this 
point Sonos is all about listening out loud via speakers, they now are focusing 
on their voice smartspeakers which support Alexa and soon will support Google 
Assistant and Cortana and I have a feeling that 

Re: Watch series 2 very sluggish lately

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi Ioana,


yes, my wife and I both have series 2 watches bought earlier this year 
and have been experiencing exactly the same issues.


It is particularly bad on the workout app which seems to hang for 
several seconds, it is ok if you just leave it and let it get on with it 
but if you tap or swipe too soon the watch seems to get in a mess.


I have found re-booting the watch seems to improve the speed slightly 
but I feel somewhat aggrieved that such a new watch is already suffering 
from a performance degradation after just one major OS upgrade.

Hi all,

Since watch OS 4 and maybe even more after some of the incremental updates to 
4.1 or 4.2 my watch series 2 is very slow to wake. I tap the screen and only 
hear a ding if I flick left and right. It's often impossible to quickly read a 
notification etc. Is this happening to anyone else? Any solution?
I know that older devices get slower as you update os but I would have hoped 
that the watch does not suffer same fate in such an extreme fashion.
Thanks for your help and comments,

Apple TV 4 gen and Bluetooth keyboards problem

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi all


Since the last TV OS update my Logitech K780 and Apple wireless 
keyboards have for the most part stopped working with the Apple TV., 
apart from the escape key which still takes you back a level.


Both keyboards work perfectly well with my IPAD and phone but they just 
don't operate the TV.


I  can't even use the cursor keys to navigate the home screen or within 
an app.


I've noticed on the rotor there are some settings called direct touch 
and follow focus could these be affecting the keyboard operation?  Using 
the rotor command on the siri remote is somewhat challenging as the 
normal up/down flick seems to  throw you back to the main screen.



Any help welcomed


Gary

Re: Apple Apologizes After iPhone Battery Slowdown Controversy | Time

[GARY WILLIAMS]

I don’t either, I’m just thankful for the accessible technology they have 
provided for us. The iphone has opened up so many opportunities because of apps 
such as Digit Eyes, Seeing ai, Be My Eyes and Knfb Reader, just to mention a 
few. Going to the grocery store has certainly changed for the better for us. It 
would be really hard if we didn’t have these apps.

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone owned the JBL 3 Charge speaker? If so, I was 
searching for an accessible copy of the manual, but could not locate it. Absent 
that, what I am actually looking for is how to connect to three devices, and 
switch back and forth between the three. I also wanted to know how to use the 
speaker as a speaker phone when connected to my iPhone. Thanks in advance for 
any help.

Re: new Apple watch

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi Marie,


Yes, you can use both the series 2 and 3 in the pool.

Just select pool swim within the workout app, set the pool length tap 
the start button and you are off!


Selecting pool swim automatically engages the water lock feature so you 
will need to rotate the digital crown once you have finished your swim 
to enable normal functionality.

You move up levels as you play, the more you play, the higher you can go. I am 
on level 84 and am ranked as a Dice Junkie. The higher you go, I guess the more 
you unlock. I am a blind tester and I didn’t have to worry about that, or if I 
did, it has been too long ago for me to remember. It is a fun game, the more 
you play it and get familiar with it, you can then either play in the 
tournaments or play an actual person. You can play the bots as long as you want 
to though.

You just double tap on the one you want to play. Make sure nothing else is 
coming up on the screen, like asking if you want to view the tutorial or 
something. If nothing is there, it should just let you choose a game, such as 
Farkle, Yahtzee, Pig or Threes.

In the calendar you can go and set alarms to notify you at a time such as two 
hours before the appointment. If you are getting siri to put appointments in

to remind you. Hope that helps.

Voicemail Problems

[GARY WILLIAMS]

Hi Everyone, 
We are using an i phone 7 with ios 11.03. Every time we get a voicemail, we can 
play the voicemail, but after that the phone locks up. We can push the home 
button to go to the home screen and even though the home screen is visible the 
focus is still in voicemail. Voiceover keeps trying to read the text version of 
the voicemail. We have to shut the phone down in order to clear things and be 
able to use the phone again. We talked with Apple accessibility and they 
recommended resetting all settings. They said if anyone else is having a 
problem with voicemail to let them know. Just curious is anyone on the list 
having the problem or something similar, and if so what did you do about it? 
Thanks for any feedback on this. 
Nancy and Gary

Article: 9 reasons you should buy an iPhone 8 instead of an iPhone X

[Gary Bowers]

9 reasons you should buy an iPhone 8 instead of an iPhone X
From:
businessinsider.com
Dave Smith
iPhone 8 and 8 plusHollis Johnson/Business Insider
Apple announced three new iPhones this month: the iPhone 8, the iPhone 8
Plus, and the high-end iPhone X.
Those three phones start at $699, $799, and $999, respectively.
Based on the relatively diminutive launch-day lines for the iPhone 8, it
seems likely that most people are waiting for the release of Apple's
high-end iPhone X, which debuts November 3.
That said, there are several reasons it's worth considering an iPhone 8
instead of holding out for the iPhone X:

1. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are powered by the same brains as the iPhone X.
This is probably the most important reason to consider the iPhone 8 and 8
Plus over the iPhone X: Functionally, they're all identical.
All of these phones are powered by Apple's new A11 Bionic chip, a neural
engine, and the M11 motion coprocessor. The only difference is how the
phones use these features: The iPhone X uses the A11 chip and neural engine
for its new face-detection system Face ID, which the iPhone 8 does not have.
2. Touch ID is a proven entity. Face ID is not.
Ever since the release of iPhone 5S in 2013, Touch ID has changed the way we
use our phones — from unlocking the device, to storing passwords, to using
our fingerprints to pay for goods via Apple Pay.
Touch ID is a known, proven entity. Face ID, which will replace Touch ID on
the iPhone X, is less known.
Apple makes some bold statements about Face ID. The company claims it's less
prone to being tricked than Touch ID. They claim it can also work in the
dark, or recognize changes to your face — like if you grow a beard, or wear
glasses, or change your hair, or put on a kooky outfit. But we still don't
know how Face ID will actually work in the wild when millions of people are
using it. Simply put, technology is not infallible, and it's impossible to
predict what could go wrong with this unlocking method. (Thankfully, the
passcode backup still exists.)
By choosing an iPhone 8, however, you choose to forgo the guinea-pig era for
Face ID.
3. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus support fast charging and wireless charging for
the first time — just like the iPhone X.
Hollis Johnson/Business Insider
All of these phones support the Qi wireless charging standard as well
as fast-charging.
The downside is, you'll have to buy extra accessories if you choose either
new charging method. Apple offers several different Qi wireless charging
pads you can buy (its own AirPower solution won't be out until 2018,
unfortunately), and you'll need to buy anywhere from $25 to $75 worth of
equipment — a Lightning-to-USB-C cable and a USB-C Power Delivery-compatible
charger, specifically — if you want to use fast-charging for your iPhone 8,
8 Plus, or iPhone X.
Again, this is one more expense to consider when thinking about the iPhone 8
versus the $1,000-to-start iPhone X.
4. The iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X have nearly-identical rear cameras.
Hollis Johnson/Business Insider
If you care at all about photography, the rear cameras on the iPhone 8 Plus
and iPhone X are nearly identical. The iPhone 8 is also a great shooter, but
the larger 8 Plus adds a second telephoto lens so you can zoom in without
losing image quality.
The only difference between the rear cameras on the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone
X is that the iPhone X has optical-image stabilization for both the
wide-angle and telephoto lenses, for sharper images, especially in low-light
settings; the iPhone 8 Plus only has OIS for the wide-angle lens, like the
iPhone 7 Plus before it.
5. The front-facing cameras on the iPhone 8 and iPhone X are also identical
— save for a few extra features.
Hollis Johnson/Business Insider
On paper, the FaceTime HD cameras of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are
functionally identical to the front-facing camera inside the iPhone X's
TrueDepth camera system. All of these phones take 7-megapixel photos, have a
ƒ/2.2 aperture, and film video in 1080p.
The only difference is the iPhone X got a few "exclusive" software camera
features: Portrait Mode on the front-facing camera (in addition to the
back); Portrait Lighting, which lets you remove backgrounds in your selfies
for a dramatic effect; and Animoji, where you can send animated emoji to
your friends that mimic your facial expressions and even speak using your
voice.
6. The iPhone 8 doesn't have that hideous "notch" at the top of the phone.
The TrueDepth camera system on the iPhone X is the lone interruption on that
phone's edge-to-edge display. The "notch," as many are calling it, is pretty
hideous, unfortunately.
Thankfully, there's no notch on the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus.
7. The iPhone X is more expensive than the iPhone 8.
The iPhone 8 starts at $700, while the larger iPhone 8 Plus starts at $800. 
The iPhone X, on the other hand, starts at $1,000.
It's simple math: You can save at least $200 by going with an iPhone 8,
which, keep in mind, is still a brand-new phone from
