Well Simon, they said it does. I listened to the presentation. It does a great job with heartrate, so I am looking forward to it. It obviously won’t be as good as having it done at a clinic, but there are none nearby that do it, so I’m excited.

Yes, I did the same research and found the same answers. I will get the new watch just for the VO 2 Max reading. I’ve always been interested in that.

Re: Amazon Kindle books
Hi, I’m not sure about JAWS since I no longer use a PC. Kindle will be easy with practice. To continuously read, use a 2-finger swipe down. what drives me nuts with Kindle is that your screen is always unlocked, so you can’t have your phone in a pocket. You have to be careful not to touch it. The other way you can read Kindle books is with Alexa if you have one. She will read from wherever you stopped on any device.

Re: Door dash
So, I opened the app and went to the restaurant I wanted. I found the food, and there was an add to order button on the bottom right. There was no add to cart or any cart that I saw.

Re: Apple Watch, questions about answering calls on regular series
Yes you definitely can answer on your watch. It works very well. You won’t have to worry about any extra charges. The watches that have cellular service, you do pay extra each month. Your watch even though you’re answering on it is working through your phone. I have the two, and I just ordered a new series for. Can’t wait till it comes. I heard the speakers much better.

Re: Apple watch VS exercise machines
Hi, in my opinion, the watch gives much better data. If you put in your health data, it’s going on that, plus your heart rate, plus the activity that you’re doing. I think it gives a much better reading. Your rowing machine has no way of knowing your weight or your other health statistics. It’s just guessing.

Re: Resuming a program on Netflix
Hi Bill, This is what I do to resume a program. Open the app. Then use 3-finger swipe to get to page 7. At the bottom of the page are the programs you have started watching. Tap on the one you want. You should then see a resume button somewhere around the middle of the screen. Yours might not be on page 7, but I’m thinking your programs will always be at the bottom of the last page. Good luck.

I think you only have a few days after you update to the current version to go back down. Sent from my iPhone On Sep 25, 2018, at 5:32 AM, Arlene wrote: Sieghard, or anyone, else for that matter, this may seem like a silly question to ask, but not silly enough if the answer is that potentially could matter, so I'll ask. If it did matter it would be good to keep in mind, maybe even with updating to a newer version on either the phone of the computer. So the question, do you think it could cause problems if you're 2 or 3 versions behind, being on your favorite update, not really wanting to upgrade to keep for a while what you have? If you're in that situation, where the phone is concerned would it be better to go up one version at a time, if it was possible? I'm thinking that it wouldn't be possible but I could be wrong, but it seems to me once there's a current upgrade as in ios 12, one couldn't update to 11.4 if they were on the previous version before, since as far as what I know you wouldn't have access to that previous version, unless there's some place to find those previous versions. With my limited knowledge that's something I don't know about, so thanks for the answer to that from you experts. and as far as how it is on the 2 out of the 3 iphone se phones we have it does seem to be working well. We'll probably update the third one pretty soon. while it's such a minor thing, we love checking the time on that phone with touching the home button, but that's such a minor thing. It's funny the things we get so use too. touching the power button is just as simple.

As for the issue described by Kim and Denise I would agree, first I would ask when they upgraded, if it was just recently then I would ask whether they closed all apps in the app switcher before upgrading and rebooted the phone. I would also ask if they rebooted the phones after upgrading and possibly suggest a reset network settings first. This may or may not help, but all it involved is having to reenter your WiFi password and renaming the phone to what you want it to be in Settings > General > About, so all in all it’s a pretty easy process and if it fixes the issue then it would save them a lot of time. If it doesn’t help then yes, do a backup and restore the phone, set it up as a new device first and make sure all is well, then restore your backup a day or two later. If the problems return then you know that the backup also restored the problems which sometimes can happen and the only way then is to restore again, set up as a new phone and manually put everything back the way you like.

Finally at some point it did say a book was available, but hopefully others will join me in writing to Audible because in order to listen to a book on the Apple Watch you have to use a bluetooth headset, you cannot play the book via the watche’s external speaker which I think is a really stupid limitation. I wonder if Apple imposes such a limitation on audio apps, but if Audible has designed it this way I hope they change it because why would they not let me choose how I want to listen to my book?

Taylor Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2018 5:57 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: a frustrating dictation problem Hello Robin, I, too, have a new iPhone 8 Plus running the latest version of the OS. However, I am not experiencing the problems discussed in this thread. I do know, however, that some third-party apps do not play well with VoiceOver via dictation. For example, when I dictate a title into the OverDrive public library app, sometimes the dictated text is read back to me and other times, it is not. Likewise, getting the edit option to appear in the VoiceOver Rotor can be a bit of a challenge in some third-party apps, such as OverDrive. This is why I always use a native iOS app as my baseline when determining if something is a system bug or an app-specific bug. There is a well-known/documented/Apple acknowledged iPhone 8 series system bug that is probably responsible for the sometimes experienced overlap/delay dictation feedback anomaly where VoiceOver appears to dictate itself. Finally, please keep the following in mind. Despite public opinion to the contrary, iOS versions can and do vary across carriers. I assure you that the iOS version that is running on Verizon Wireless devices is not the exact same version that is running on a T & T Wireless devices. Furthermore, yet a slightly different version of the OS is installed on SIM-free devices. Most of the time, these differences are all but impossible to notice but, sometimes, as was the case about 3 years ago with regard to a video display driver, these differences/bugs do show themselves. Just some things to keep in mind as you troubleshoot and assess.

In my office, at least 6 years ago, our office switched from Blackberries, to iPhones for the 30 plus empoyees who need a mobile phone as part of their job. Many of these folks are less than technically inclined. No one has had issues like you are describing on any of their phones and everyone has had at least two iPhones in that time period. Have you taken any of these phones to Apple and what have they said could be the cause? In my household, we've gone through two iPhone 5s's that we had for almost 4 years, three iPod touches and two iPad mini's; and none of them had battery issues. They were replaced due to choosing to upgrade. Well, except for the first iPad Mini whose WiFi antenna died which Aple replaced at no charge. They replaced the device, not the antenna, and it was 3 months beyond the Apple Care coverage. Now, on to my nutral opinion of android, or perhaps not so nutral, grin. Very little is easy to do on an android compared to an iPhone. They have far fewer gestures, because you have to dive into menus to do many things which takes more steps than using the rotor.

Re: Audible and Amazon Echo
Well, time does fly, and I stand corrected once again. I do like that I can listen to my Kindle books that way. I'm keeping my Windows computer because of the Codex program to convert books for VDR.

Re: 11.1 and Air Pods with Siri bug
Hi Rebecca, I don't know how noisy your commute is, but it's possible that the Airpods are just picking up enough of the background noise to confuse Siri. They really work better in quieter situations. The IPhone does better at blocking out surrounding sounds than do the Airpods. Just a thought.

Re: Downloading entire Bookshare library at once
This is what I thought. I was surprised that people were wanting to keep and sync hundreds of books. I’m glad to know I can access my Bookshare history though. Take care, Lois From: Arnold Schmidt Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2017 12:56 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Downloading entire Bookshare library at once Not only do I think the downloading of an entire library not possible, I don't think Bookshare would want it to be possible. I think I remember reading in one of their policy statements that their reason for being was not so that people could amass their own private library, rather to have access to books one wanted to read in the present or immediate future, then delete them. One can access their book history, and also keep reading lists on Bookshare itself, but Bookshare is meant to be a service from which one can have a library from which one can borrow books, then delete them, as opposed to Kindle, or Audible, where one purchases them.

When this happened to me, I got rid of the books that didn't work as I had many in the older format. It was time consuming in the extreme. Since Bookshare has a monthly limit of how much can be downloaded, you would have to download your thousands again over a long period of time. This is one of the reasons I keep a book list of what I have read. What gets confusing too is multiple books with the same title by so many different authors. Good luck.

I’ve downloaded probably thousands of books in this time. In the process of doing so, the older format is not compatible with apps like VoiceDreamReader on iOS or the book quality has since been replaced by a better formatted/scanned version. That and I may have some books here and others there. This and that backup on the cloud or external drive, etc. My question is… is there in fact a way to download my entire book history in one shot or am I looking at a labor intensive task sifting through God knows how many titles that stretch back over ten years? Would appreciate any info on whether this can be accomplished in a reasonable manner. I’m a Windows user, but my main reading device is the iPhone these days. I would ideally like to get everything on my PC first and then upload to the iPhone. Thanks, Cristobal -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

I say this, because I have a 128 gig phone I’m only using 29 gigs of that 128 gigs and not only that I pay the extra money for space on iCloud and I’m my iCloud drive I have over 30 gigs left of room so there is no reason that there is not room to take care of my library honestly this update is just not doing something right and they need to know about it because obviously what I’m stating is not believed for some reason.

You've undoubtedly seen it since updating earlier this week -- it's a row of app icons at the bottom of the screen each and every time you open a conversation. I've seen a lot of complaints on Twitter, and have been asked privately a few times about hiding it. At first, I didn't think it was possible. Then I found the answer on Reddit. Hide the app dock by placing your finger on the App Store icon next to the text field, and swipe down. Poof, it's gone. There's a caveat, because of course there is. If you use an iMessage app in the future, the dock comes back. But you can repeat the quick gesture to get rid of it again.

Apple helpdesk would have told him not to update over the air but update with Itunes 12.7. If you do so, most of the known bugs will not occur. Updating over the air would result in a kind of adaptations, fixes in ios10 so that after the upgrade ios11 will come up and install. If you do it over itunes, really the whole ios will be deleted and replaced by the new one. I have difficulties to believe this. What are the opinions?

Hi Chris, I don’t claim to understand this fully, but yes, currently the technology which charges devices wirelessly from a distance does not exist. Maybe it exists in labs and I can almost guaranty that Apple is probably working very hard on getting this to work, but for now wireless just means that you don’t have to plug in a wire. As for public spaces, I believe companies like Starbucks and so on have wireless charging pads built into tables so you could have your phone charging right next to you, obviously nobody would put their phone down on a charging pad and then go away and sit down 10 or 20 feet away. As for charging when you travel there is nothing which prevents you to do this just as you have always done it which means bring your Lightning cable and plug it in. However, when Apple releases their “Airpower” charger as they call it then for people who have an iPhone, an Apple Watch and maybe Airpods bringing this instead makes a lot of sense since it can charge all three devices by themselves or all three at once and of course as time goes by this may even include other devices which adopt the standard. As with everything once Apple adopts something, in this case the Chi wireless charging standard, they not only can pour a ton of money into it to make it better but accessory makers will also scramble to bring out a wide variety of devices to compliment it.

I have my phone in a LifeProof case. I am thinking that it would depend on the case, the thickness and the matterial it’s made from. The LifeProof is pretty thin, and it works great.

Hi Seigard, Being an American and knowing plenty of them, I whole-heartedly agree with you.

I really find the fascination most americans have with guns fascinating, no other country in the world is that crazy about guns. Anyhow, I'll leave it at that and before all of you gun lovers start yelling at me I should point out that I have nothing against hunting and sports shooting, after all, I have an outdoor and hunting store and sell a couple of hundred firearms a year myself, I loved to shoot before I became blind at the age of 16, but I don't personally shoot and just don't see a point in it just as I don't see a point in driving a car along at a slow speed where somebody sitting next to me can tell me to pgo a bit left or a bit right or whatever and of course as a Canadian coming originall from Germany I find it baffling why a normal citizen would want to walk around packing a gun, I'm very glad that this is not possible here and feel a lot safer for it.

Re: Accessible Scale with IOS
My Aria always weighs the same no matter how many times you get on.

If your feet are even slightly off, it will be. I wonder if the Quardio scale is any more forgiving than the beets? The Beets does have very pronounced laces for your feet, it's just that I don't always hit them perfectly before it takes a reading. That may be true on all of them though.

Re: The Aria Fitbit Scale
Hi, I just used my phone to sync my scale. You go into your FitBit account to set up a new device, and it will walk you through.
