Question about notifications?

2024-05-13 Thread Michael Irons
Hello everyone I’m running the iPhone SE second generation. I’m using the 
latest version of iOS 16. Just wondering if there is a way to change the sounds 
on notifications so that I get a different sound for the weather channel for 
example, that I do for text messages. There used to be a way to change your 
sounds for different notifications. They didn’t seem to be a way to do that 
anymore. I have to hear the tri-town for everything and I would like to have it 
be a little bit different so that I hear a different town for the weather 
channel. For example, then I do for  Messages or Calendar, or WhatsApp. Just 
wondering if there is a way to change the notifications where I get a different 
sound for different apps on the iPhone. Appreciate any help that you might be 
able to give me.

Re: The weather channel app

2024-05-06 Thread Michael Irons
Hello, everybody just wanted to tell you that I have been playing around with 
the weather channel app and it is a challenge as far as Accessibility is 
concerned, but, if you turn on screen recognition while you’re in the weather 
channel app, it will read more things to you And if you tap on play video, it 
will play the videos to you and the ones that actually have somebody talking 
will be somewhat accessible to you the ones where they play music what we will 
not get anything out of. But, for those people they can see the screen time and 
can read some of it. Some of the videos could mean something to you. There is 
also an option for making the video film more of the screen.  That could help 
somebody who has some vision. The weather channel app may be hard to work with, 
but I would say don’t give up on it completely. All the alerts that it puts out 
or accessible. If you have worked with it, you know, a little bit about 
navigating it.  Weather Ology is definitely a lot easier to work with in years. 
It is.  Weather Ology is definitely a lot easier to work with and use. It is 
totally accessible and would probably work out better for most of us.

I went ahead and got the Weatherology app. I was able to get alerts and 
notifications on the weather channel app, but the rest of it was pretty 
difficult for me to work with. Having a weather channel app that is accessible 
is a matter of life and death for me. I happen to be in Norman Oklahoma, where 
we get lots of storms, tornado watches, and occasionally a tornado warning.

Re: Mobile phone unwanted and scam monitoring.

2024-04-17 Thread Michael Irons
I am on Verizon. They do screen some calls for me like when the phone rings 
Samsung times it says potential spam and sometimes it does not. I generally 
don’t answer a phone number that I don’t recognize. I was just thinking if they 
wanted to hear from me they would leave a message. But I believe I might be 
able to get something for marking the unwanted calls through the Verizon app.

Re: Please submit feedback to Apple about Voice Dream Reader

2024-03-30 Thread Michael Irons
Hello everybody I believe that we just have to except what do people with voice dream reader want to do. That developers are totally free to increase prices or make free apps, paid apps or whatever they feel they want to do need to do or have to do to make money. Just remember that Free doesn’t make any money for anybody and, he doesn’t buy anyone’s lunch. I think we’d all be better served if we could look for something that does the same things as voice dream reader and it’s either Free or at least at low cost. It just sounds like the people that work with voice dream reader are going to do whatever they’re going to do and they’re not willing to, or able to change their minds.  Just trying to find an alternative would be a lot more productive for everybody than just talking about not being able to use voice dream reader. I’m just saying all this whatever it’s worth. For all I know it may not be worth anything not even a plug penny or a plug nickel. Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 29, 2024, at 6:46 PM, Sieghard Weitzel  wrote:

Subject: Please submit feedback to Apple about Voice Dream Reader

 

Hey guys,


 


If you search for Voice Dream Reader on the App Store, open the page for the app, and scroll down, there is an option to "report a problem". Please consider reporting what the developer is doing to Apple. I am not sure if it violates any
 developer guidelines, but it sure seems like it would: selling lifetime licenses with agreed upon terms and then disabling them. The nature of how the update was released also didn't give users any warning or opt-out, as the new deadline wasn't mentioned in
 the release notes. I think Apple uses these for internal purposes, and if enough people file reports then they may act upon it.


 


I would also recommend leaving a review of the app and mentioning the upcoming disabling of previously purchased licenses, and how the update was handled.


 


I absolutely do not have a problem with developers going the subscription route, charging for new features and updates, or raising prices. It's a tough world out there. But I do have serious concerns about pushing out an update that disables
 previously purchased licenses from continuing to work at all and not mentioning that this would happen in the release notes. I would imagine this will impact many schools and other educational institutions as well who will rely on having access to this app
 at least for the remainder of the school year.


Let's hope we can share with the developer and Apple some constructive feedback.

Re: iOS 17.4 and Voice Messages Help Please.

2024-03-22 Thread Michael Irons
Hello everybody the reason I am not willing to update is because this very thing that was just talked about and problems with losing voicemail messages. I have saved voicemail messages that I need and I’m not willing to lose them because of an update.Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 22, 2024, at 2:02 PM, janet gross  wrote:







Hello Everyone, 
 
I finally took the plunge and updated my XR phone to iOS 17.4, as the update was getting just a little    to pesty to deal with.  
Now, since I did this just yesterday, all my voice mail messages are gone! 

When I open the voice mail messages, I only get an option of deleted voice mail messages, and I went in to that, but there are no deleted voice mail messages. 

I was saving some of those messages, as I need them.  
Any suggestions   how to get those messages back?  
This happened to me before, and I had to reset my entire phone in order to get those messages back the last time I updated. 

 
Thank you in advance for any help.  
 
Janet

Hello everyone, thank you for all of your responses. I just have two things

it’s not broke, don’t fix it. The second thing is Nadine mail works for me and

Re: Question about Gmail?

2024-03-21 Thread Michael Irons
Hey Peggy, this is Mike from Oklahoma. Disregard my email about the blank message. It just came in a place that I didn’t expect it to be.What you might consider doing is deleting your Gmail account and reiterating it. That might solve your problem the other thing is to turn off your iPhone and turn it back on. Another thing you can do is reset your iPhone, by either if it’s the iPhone SE, it won’t do volume up volume down and hold down the power button until your phone doesn’t do anything. I don’t know about the iPhone without the home button. I know there is a way to reset it.Take care,Michael. Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 21, 2024, at 8:33 PM, Peggy Kane  wrote:Peggy Sent from my i phone☺️On Mar 21, 2024, at 9:29 PM, Richard Turner  wrote:It really i personal preference.

Hello Mark and everybody, this is Mike from Oklahoma. Just read your email mark 
on the weather in Amazon and dating and just want to say I am along with you 
looking for an accessible weather app with voiceover. Right now I am using the 
native weather app, and the weather channel app. They both tell me enough to 
get me by for right now, but, I would like a more accessible weather app. So 
Mark and everybody I hope this helps. I am along with you looking for an 
accessible Weather app that works well with voiceover.

Re: there will always be bugs RE: Mark's Update to iOS and iPad OS 17.2: An Extremely Positive Experience

2023-12-18 Thread Michael Irons
You may be right Davey there will always be a bug of some kind. The thing that 
is important is when you find it then you would want to call Apple 
Accessibility or get a hold of Apple in someway and talk to them about it and 
work with them on it what you were doing The important thing is that the 
software has had enough of the difficulties in bags worked out that I am all of 
us would be able to use it. You are doing a good thing. Just remember when you 
find something that isn’t working for you get a hold of Apple and work with him 
on it like you were doing right now.

Re: App to see power light?

2023-12-08 Thread Michael Irons
Hello aunt Kimberly, this is Mike from Oklahoma again. One thing you could do 
is check the status line on your phone. If the Internet is gone, it will 
probably tell you something like LTE or whatever the carrier you were with. If 
you have Alexa, you could check it and it will tell you for sure if the 
Internet is gone. Hope this helps.
Take care,
Michael.

Hi Kimberly, this is Mike from Oklahoma. I would like to offer you my 
condolences for your loss. I know that Hass to be hard for you. I am willing to 
talk to you off the list if you would feel comfortable with that feel free to 
send me an email off list if you feel comfortable talking to me. Again, sorry 
for your loss. I’d like to offer my condolences to you. Everybody that has made 
suggestions is probably right probably be my eyes would be the best option for 
you because it offers some things you can do to get help with knowing if power

Are usually leave my iPhone plugged in until the battery is charged between 90 and 100%. I unplug my phone and try to plug it back in and the battery is between 40 and 20%. I am not perfect at this.

  Hi guys,
  So, here is the question.  I have an older 
  iPhone which is a 6-S and since it is not my current phone, there is no cim 
  card so, of course no making phone calls with it.  It still rings and is 
  aware that calls are coming in.  If I turn on Wi-Fi calling, can I still 
  make and receive calls?  I have to admit that I have not tried yet and 
  thought that someone might have a quick answer for me.  Thanks 
  much.

Re: wiping an older iphone

2023-08-03 Thread Michael Irons
I have an old iPhone 7 sitting on my table here. I just experimented with it. 
It has been restore to factory default settings. I activated the iPhone 7 and 
press the home button three times and it turn voiceover on. And it hand the 
hello and then set up in different languages. So I’m just saying the iPhones 
with the home button you can turn on voiceover by pressing it quickly three 
times and I guess the newer iPhones it would be the side button.

Re: Question about an inherited iPhone.

2023-07-25 Thread Michael Irons
You could say I got lucky. The password and stuff I needed was just right there 
on the case. I also inherited two other devices from my deceased sister. I was 
not so lucky. The computer that I inherited was one that a friend of mine was 
able to wipe clean and I could put my stuff on it. The iPad that I inherited I 
had to take to an Apple store and locally they were able to erase it and help 
me sign into my Apple ID stuff with yet.

 The thumb keys of the brail display functioning as panning keys do not work
 as they should, if you press them, sometimes they do mostly they don't.
 
 This bug has been introduced in ios16.5.

Question about translator on phone.

2023-05-22 Thread Michael Irons
Hi everyone, the other day I got an email from a relative who happens to be 
Chinese. The first part of the email was in English saying everything was fine 
and then after the first part they started hearing it speak in Chinese. How do 
you access the translation part of the phone from within the native email app? 
I would sure like to know what the rest of the email saying I can say it was 
some survey it was probably written in Chinese. I hope you can help.

Re: When It Comes to iPhone, Are You All Thumbs?

2023-01-19 Thread Michael Irons
Hello everyone, when it comes to the iPhone, I am all thumbs, and, all fingers. 
To really get things right I need a good Bluetooth QWERTY keyboard. The only 
kind of screen input I can do is the keypad on the phone in dialing numbers. 
When it comes to dictation it it gets it all wrong when it really matters. 
Dictation continuously gets it all wrong no matter how hard I’ve tried or how 
hard I have practice!

 Subject: When It Comes to iPhone, Are You All Thumbs?
 
 Hello All,
 
 A friend of mine and I got into a discussion about how we type in 
 iOS, when sending text messages.
 
 It started when she asked me if I use my thumbs to type.  Even 
 though I know that a great many people use their thumbs to enter 
 text on iPhone, personally I find the technique slow and awkward.
 
 How do I enter text in iOS?
 
 First, I keep my VoiceOver typing mode set to "Touch Typing."
 
 Second, I use a folio case.  Not only does such a case cover the 
 display when not in use, it also provides a nifty way to balance the 
 phone in one hand, fingers-free.
 
 When entering text, I open the case, kind of like a book, with the 
 wallet side to the left and the phone to the right.  I position the 
 phone case in the crook of my left hand (where the base of my thumb 
 meets my hand) so that the back of the phone, in the case of course, 
 is resting against the palm of my left hand, leaving all five digits 
 on my left hand, free.
 
 The wallet side of the case acts as a kind of counter balance so 
 that the phone does not slip out of my hand, even when the phone is 
 tilted, off-axis, so to speak.
 
 I use my left thumb to access the letters and numbers, located on 
 the left side of the onscreen keyboard and the index finger of my 
 right hand, to access the letters and numbers located on the right 
 side of the onscreen keyboard.
 
 I hold the phone in the exact same way when using Slide-to-Type; 
 except in that instance, I use my right index finger, only.
 
 Okay, that's my method for entering text on iPhone.
 
 How about you?  What technique do you use to enter text in iOS?
 
 When it come to iPhone, are you all thumbs? (smile).
 
 Mark

Hi Becky

2023-01-06 Thread Michael Irons
Hi Becky, this is Mike from Oklahoma. I also have an iPhone SE 20. So far 
everything seems to be working OK. I would recommend that you either call Apple 
Accessibility or if it is possible you may want to go to the Apple store and 
see if they will help you with your phone. Sounds like something might have 
gone defective in your phone.
I hope you were able to get the help you need help things will be fixed for you 
soon
Take care,
Michael

Hello everyone I got the iPhone SE 20 because I was not willing to mess around

to set up Face ID where it would work. I was born blind from birth and 
literally have not seen a thing in my life. I have lots of difficulty 
understanding what things really look like. I would say if no one leave me they

Re: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

2022-10-20 Thread Michael Irons
I would refuse to have an eSIM unless I was given a specific set of 
instructions as to how to transfer the Sim between one found in another. I have 
my old iPhone six which I would want to go to if my present iPhone gives me 
problems. I would not want to be without that physical Sim card for right now. 
Maybe for all times going forward.

I believe the SE models will have a home button as long as there’s a large 
number of people making it down that they really have to be able to go home. Rip

Re: How to replace an iphone's battery.

2022-10-14 Thread Michael Irons
I like the non-smart phones where you could replace the battery yourself. 
Unfortunately a lot of things on the non-smart phones were not accessible to 
me. That is why I switched over to the iPhone.

Re: Choosing betweeen Apple Watch 7 and SE 2

2022-10-07 Thread Michael Irons
Hello everyone, I basically do take my phone pretty much everywhere I go. I do 
end up going outside occasionally without my phone. There is a time when I go 
in row with the rowing team but I am out on the water in my phone is not 
listening because I don’t want my phone to go in the water and get messed up. 
My phone might be with me but it’s either locked up in someone’s car or I have 
it inside the place where I go rowing. My guess is the watch probably wouldn’t 
work if I wore it out on the water.

Re: Moderator Note - Regarding accessible dating / hook-up apps

Hi Carrie this is Mike. I am glad you posted on here I am basically in the same

apps might be accessible. I think it is quite appropriate that the question was

Re: A suggestion to Apple

2022-07-10 Thread Michael Irons
Hi there I have found that if the phone is unlocked and you move the mute 
switch towards the back of the phone it actually says muted with voiceover if 
you move it towards the front it says I am muted. Also when the phone is locked 
if you move the switch to the mirror position the phone will vibrate. I have 
the iPhone SE 20. Also the switch would do the same thing with iPhone 6 if you 
switched it between muted and muted.

Re: Forwarding message with picture.

2022-06-08 Thread Michael Irons
Hi Carolyn, I have forwarded a text message or two that had a picture in it. 
What you would do is you find the text message with a picture in it that you 
want to forward you go to the bottom of your screen and look for the option 
that would say more in double tap on that and then once you get to more that 
message that you found and it more on will have selected the message then you 
look on the bottom of your screen again and there should be an option to 
forward the message and you would want to double tap on that and when you get 
to the two part of it ever you want to send it to  you double tap on that and 
you would have a couple of choices. That’s choices are you can enter the 
persons phone number or you can find the person in your contacts that you want 
to forward the message to. Hope that answers your question.

Re: bluetooth headphones

2022-06-05 Thread Michael Irons
When I got my SE 22nd edition I did not get a set of the Apple lightning 
earbuds. I did get an adapter that I can plug-in to the lightning port that 
will allow me to charge the phone and use the 3.5 your phones with it at the 
same time. This adapter is known as the Belkin rockstar. I got it from my local 
Verizon phone store when I bought accessories for the iPhone SE 20.

Re: bluetooth headphones

2022-06-05 Thread Michael Irons
Hello Alison, you would want to make sure your Bluetooth headphones are 
charged. You would turn your Bluetooth headphones on go to settings and 
Bluetooth on your iPhone and see if your phone recognizes the Bluetooth 
headphones. If it does, you would want to go ahead and have your phone connect 
to your Bluetooth headphones.
If you have any further questions I would be willing to talk with you about 
this off list if needed.
I now have a new iPhone that does not have a headphone jack. I happen to have a 
couple of pair a Bluetooth headphones that I have paired up with yet.  By the 
way, you can get an adapter for these phones without headphone jack so that you 
can actually use regular headphones on your iPhone.
Take care,
Michael

Re: Apple is discontinuing the iPod Touch

2022-05-12 Thread Michael Irons
Hello everyone I originally got an iPod touch third generation. I had some 
difficulty adapting to the touch screen. I got a hold of a Bluetooth keyboards 
which solved most of my problems. I later upgraded 10 iPhone 4S. I did better 
with the iPhone. I ended up not using the iPod touch because it would not go 
past iOS 6 .1. It would not update anymore. I guess it was at the end of its 
life. I really like the iPhone SE 20. The only thing that concerns me is the 
area of the touchscreen does seem to be a little bit small.

A friend of mine has an iPhone eight in and has had similar problems because he 
says that he can’t get the cursor to focus on the item he wants to use. He 
basically says that the cursor jumps around and he has a hard time getting the 
focus on what he wants to do.
As for me, I have run sing AI on both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone SE 20 which I

Right now, I do not have a phone that will run iOS 15. I called Apple

could stay with iOS 12 for the time being. I know I have to trade up and get a

Re: Cash App

2021-05-13 Thread Michael Irons

with a lot of different currencies.

 If they are using line breaks, as in "new line" if punctuation is on all, 
 maybe it is determining that is a paragraph?
 That is a pure guess on my part.
 Otherwise, I'd say stop feeding the gremlins, grin.

Re: Question About Adding SiriusXM to IOS Devices

2020-11-09 Thread Michael Irons
Hello, this is Mike. I have Serious Ex M on my iPhone is also on an Amazon echo 
device. I have found that you can only stream Serious on one device at a time. 
What a strange series on the echo and I found the message for the echo would 
come on and say that that device cannot keep streaming the channel because 
another device was accessing the account.

Re: iPhones can now tell blind users where and how far away people are

Hello everyone I know that at present, we don’t have the technology in place 
that can actually tell us on the phone how far away we are from other people. I 
did take the basic precautions when I do go out. I have gotten the flu shot. 
Just wanted y’all to know that I am doing what I can recently do to try and

Re: Answering iPhone

2020-10-24 Thread Michael Irons
Hello everyone I use a pair of Bluetooth headphones to answer the phone. They 
are LG Bluetooth headphones. When a call comes in I press the button on the 
right hand side of the headphones answer the phone. The same button also in the 
Call. The neck band on the headphones vibrates. So you don’t always have to 
have the headphones in your ear.

Re: But All I Wanted was Touch ID

2020-10-15 Thread Michael Irons
I believe that people would like to have touch ID so that they can open their 
phone easier when they have to wear a mask. We all need to remember COVID-19 is 
still out there in all of us probably have to wear masks when we’re out and 
about. Face ID will not work very well when you have to wear a mask.

that are in my library. Had a little trouble getting it to work initially but 
I’m slowly figuring it out. Just takes a little maneuvering around the screen.

Re: issues with my echo dot third gen

Try finding the button with a dot on it. When you find that button press it and 
hold down on it until it says reset and it will talk about going to the Alexa 
app to set it up.
