Re: App Store and Updating Apps
Hi Chris, I've never configured Screentime, but I just went in and turned off Content and privacy restrictions. In Touch ID and Passcodes these settings were all off, but your note about downloading apps using various Apple ID's definitely applies in my case. Since everything checks out okay this must be the culprit. Thank you very much for your input. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

For one person, they turned off screen time in settings, and this allowed them to then download app updates without having to enter their password. I do not know if this setting is still there since I do not own an iPhone SE, but one person reported that going to settings, Touch ID, and turn off iTunes and Apps fixed their issue with updating apps. I do not know if it will apply in your circumstance, but the biggest cause to this that I could find is when people had apps on their phone that was downloaded with multiple Apple IDs.

Re: Screen recognition makes all the difference with chakra tuning app
There are definitely times when screen recognition can be useful, I recently got another robot vacuum and the app is pretty much totally inaccessible without using screen recognition. While it’s good that Voiceover offers this feature, this is something that should not be necessary. Developers should fix the accessibility issues with their apps. I have emailed the company that makes the robot vacuum that I purchased and told them about this issue but I will not buy any more of their products unless they fix their app. Can I use it with screen recognition? Yes, but I shouldn’t have to. > On Apr 16, 2024, at 2:39 PM, Anna Dresner wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > Screen recognition can be super annoying when it gets turned on by accident > in a normally accessible app. But I just downloaded an app called Chakra > tuner that is completely inaccessible with it off, but in which I can do > everything I want when it's on.

Re: Forwarding iMessages
Hi Flor, Bill, Robert and Joseph, Yes, I can now find the forward button and forward messages using voiceover, but what I'm trying to do is learn what sighted people see to do what we do using gestures with voiceover for the same thing. For example, my wife sees a, Plus sign, for the More button, and a right arrow for forward, but there were 84 text messages in this particular thread and I couldn't find how to select the ones I wanted to send. We're going to start over on a much smaller thread when we get back home to make it easier. Thank you all very much for all your help, it's greatly appreciated. Now that y'all got me straightened out on forwarding with voiceover hopefully I can get my wife clear on how doing it with sight. Thanks again. Take care and stay safe. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool!

I get this all the time at my retail store, we sell outdoor and hunting equipment including firearms and ammunition as well as reloading supplies. We often get people who call and they ask “do you have bullets for a 30 odd 6” or whatever caliber they have. I know that many more people buy factory loaded ammunition and not reloading components such as powder, bullets, brass and primers, but usually I then ask if they are looking for ammunition or bullets and some people get all mad because they think I’m trying to be smart whereas all I want to do is make sure I give them the correct information.

Rotor New Settings in iOS17
Original Message From: Richard Turner This is likely the same in iOS 17.2... but has anyone else been bothered by the fact that the rotor, especially in the mail app, instead of defaulting to Actions, it defaults to headings? I find each time I open the mail app, and land on a message or thread, I have to change the rotor to actions in order to flick up to delete the message or thread. Richard, USA From: Sieghard Weitzel Hmm, good point, I had not yet noticed this, but you are correct, in iOS 17.3 Beta (not sure if this was already like that in iOS 17.2, you now have the following options when you go to Settings > Accessibility > Voiceover > Rotor: First of course the Back button at the top left and then the heading “Rotor”. If you swipe right you then have “Rotor Items, button” and when you double tap on this you have the familiar list of things you can select, deselect and reorder. If you swipe right again, you now have this new item called “”Change rotor with item, switch button” and of course it can be “On” r “Off”. Swipe right again and you hear the following description: Changes the selected rotor based on the Voiceover focused item. For me this was On, so maybe check if it is on or not and if it is not, turn it on and see if it gives you the more familiar experience. And just to be complete, if you swipe right again, you get “Edit apps on home screen, switch button, on”, again it was on for me. Swipe right one final time and you get “Direct Touch Apps, button” and after that the explanation: Direct Touch allows Voiceover to control an app directly without requiring more interactions. I have to yet try this, but if I double tap on the button it then says: “Direct Touch apps, heading”, after this “Apply To, heading” and then it goes into a list of all apps and items on my iPhone and by default they all say “Selected” for me.

Re: Loss of Siri voices when iPhone is on charge.
I have the same problem, but only after updating any iOS version beginning with iOS17... After an iOS17 update my Voiceover switches from Siri voice 1 United States to Siri voice 2 United States.

I've really come to appreciate the Anker GAN Prime 733 which combines a 1 MAH power bank and wall charger in one handy device. I leave it plugged in all of the time so I know it'll be full when I need it. It has folding plug prongs which let you plug it directly into the wall socket or power bar. It has two USB C ports and a USB A port. You'd also need a Lightning to USBC cable which Anker makes. I also have a 2 MAH battery from Energrid. It gives audio beep feedback and vibrates to let you know when something's connected or when it's charging. Between those two batteries, I know I'm covered for a good eight or nine full iPhone charges. That'll see me through around three or four days. More if I'm conservative. If you're worried about longer spans of time, there are much bigger power banks. The two batteries I have are very portable and both will easily fit in a shoulderbag. Besides the USBC to Lightning cable, I would also suggest you get a spare USB C to USB C cable. That may be useful for other accessories like USB headsets, emergency radios or Bluetooth keyboards. You can always charge other power banks while you have electricity using the ports in the 733 charger. Hope that helps a bit. Amazon has a slight discount here in Canada on a number of Anker products. Doubtless, this is true in the US also. There are a very wide range of other bands and you'll hopefully hear from people more experienced with those as well.

Re: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms
Hi Michael, I wouldn't leave your power bank plugged in 24 / 7, it could cause premature failure being that if it loses just a little bit of charge it's constantly recharging. I normally check my power bank every so often and I won't charge it until it needs it, or we need to go somewhere and I want to make sure it's fully charged. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. - Original Message - From: Michael Feir To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, November 24, 2023 1:39 PM Subject: Re: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms Hello Margaret. I've really come to appreciate the Anker GAN Prime 733 which combines a 1 MAH power bank and wall charger in one handy device. I leave it plugged in all of the time so I know it'll be full when I need it. It has folding plug prongs which let you plug it directly into the wall socket or power bar. It has two USB C ports and a USB A port. You'd also need a Lightning to USBC cable which Anker makes. I also have a 2 MAH battery from Energrid. It gives audio beep feedback and vibrates to let you know when something's connected or when it's charging. Between those two batteries, I know I'm covered for a good eight or nine full iPhone charges. That'll see me through around three or four days. More if I'm conservative. If you're worried about longer spans of time, there are much bigger power banks. The two batteries I have are very portable and both will easily fit in a shoulderbag. Besides the USBC to Lightning cable, I would also suggest you get a spare USB C to USB C cable. That may be useful for other accessories like USB headsets, emergency radios or Bluetooth keyboards. You can always charge other power banks while you have electricity using the ports in the 733 charger. Hope that helps a bit. Amazon has a slight discount here in Canada on a number of Anker products. Doubtless, this is true in the US also. There are a very wide range of other bands and you'll hopefully hear from people more experienced with those as well.

Re: Siri and iOS 17 problem
Hi Margaret, If you've just updated to iOS17... restarting the phone helped both my wife's and my and my phone after updating with the double tap functionality. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. - Original Message - From: Alan Lemly To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2023 2:43 PM Subject: Re: Siri and iOS 17 problem Hi Margaret, I seem to recall folks posting after the release of iOS 17 that the double tap time-out setting was changed to lower the speed needed to execute a double tap. The effect of this would require you to double tap faster in order for it to register. Go to Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, and double tap time-out witch will be near the bottom of the screen. Mine was currently set to .25 seconds and I executed the increment button to make it .3 seconds which I like better since I don't have to double tap quite as fast.

Hi All, Here's an article from Top Tech Tidbits on getting your old sounds back in iOS17.1.

I don't know whether it's something I've done, or whether the most recent update changed something, but it's pretty annoying. I've been through the Notification settings, and I can't seem to find what I need in there. I don't want to turn them off completely, but I only want them to show up when I unlock my phone.

Re: Siri continues to be the dumbest of all dumb assistance.
I’m glad the Iphone I have still uses a physical sim card so I can easily switch between my Iphone SE and my Pixel 7, I do think Apple removed the physical sim tray too soon, currently there is no easy way to transfer your ESIM between an Iphone and Android without contacting the carrier. For most things both platforms are equal and the accessibility of Android has definitely come full circle. It’s good that we have the same choice as sighted people and that both platforms are accessible out of the box. > On Oct 26, 2023, at 1:27 AM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: > > I agree entirely about how ridiculously limited Siri can be, but if you are > using an iPhone you take the bad with the good and that is no didfferent if > you have an Android phone.

Out of the three major assistants, siri, google assistant and Alexa, siri is by far the most behind, both on a phone and on smart speakers.

Re: Wi-Fi Conections.
Hi Janet, For some unexplicable reason 2 days ago my iPhone wouldn't connect to our home Wifi no matter what I tried, so I reset the network settings and I haven't had a problem since. When you reset only the network settings you'll only have to enter in your password after selecting your network, and in Settings / General / About / Name, you'll have rename your iPhone if it had a name earlier. To reset your network open Settings / General and swipe to the, Transfer or reset iPhone heading, and keep swiping to the, Reset button, and open this, now swipe to, Reset network settings, and single finger double tap this and follow the prompts.

I was certainly one of those people. N Now, many months later, I’m still one of those people. Certain things I can ask. Siri never screws up. Open the App Store, for instance. I don’t think it ever missed that command. But open BARD Mobile. Open the name of my credit union, and many other open commands as often as not meet with some stupidity about what it found on the web or how it doesn’t think I have such an app, even though it has opened the app many times in the past. I thought it was supposed to have some kind of on device machine learning, which would help it disambiguate things it wasn’t sure of. This must not be true, because its overall performance has maintained its low level, whereas on iOS 15, the very same Siri with the very same commands yields reasonable results almost all of the time. So, whatever Apple did in iOS 16 has not been fixed as far as I’m concerned. I can only hope they do better in iOS 17.

Re: Emailing a photo to someone from your iPhone?
Hi Dacia, See if this note below for accessing attachments helps. From: Richard Turner Touch at the bottom right corner, or do a four finger tap at the bottom of the screen. Then, flick left with one finger until you get passed the delete button I think it is that is the bottom left corner. The next flick to the left should put you on the attachment. For whatever reason, it works best to start from the bottom and work back to the attachment. Richard Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Just be sure that the one you are looking at has a keypad not a touch screen. They make both types. We dealt with a company called Dorr Locks Direct. You might get the lock slightly cheaper from amazon, but this company has excellent customer service. I called at one point and the person seemed to really know what they were talking about and was very helpful in getting me the right lock for my situation. I hope this helps.

Re: Here’s how HomePod 2 Compares to the Original and HomePod Mini, 9 to 5 Mac
I think which speaker to get depends somewhat on what eco system you are in and what you want your speaker to do. If sound quality is your absolute top priority, and especially if you use an Iphone, than yes, a homepod might be the best choice. If your top priority is the best smart home device support, Amazon is probably the best choice with Google nest close behind. When it comes to providing the best and most detailed answers to questions, Google is the clear winner. Each also provide their own music service but interestingly, Apple music is the only service that can be played on all three of them. For me at least, I want the best assistant and the best smart home device support which is why I have an Echo and a Google Home, the sound quality is sufficient with those, I have no interest in getting a homepod because the assistant and device support are far behind the other two. > On Jan 20, 2023, at 3:21 PM, Mary Otten wrote: > > Yes, I know.

Re: Here’s how HomePod 2 Compares to the Original and HomePod Mini, 9 to 5 Mac
Apple has still not addressed the biggest issues with the home pod though, if you compare siri with Alexa and Google Assistant, Siri’s capabilities are far behind the other two. Also, the smart home device support is far behind the other two smart speaker eco systems. Granted, the matter support will help with that somewhat, still, while I already have a google home and Amazon Echo, it would be hard for me to suggest or recommend the home pod because of its lack of abilities in these areas. > On Jan 18, 2023, at 10:34 PM, M.

Re: iPhone Battery Capacities Compared: all iPhones Battery Life in mAH and WH, Macworld
Interestingly, the article did not mention the battery on the iPhone SE second and third generation. I recently upgraded from the iPhone 10R to the Iphone SE third generation. It has the same processor as the Iphone 13, I definitely think this phone fits better in the pocket, it looks exactly like the Iphone 8, one common thing that is mentioned in reviews of this phone is the shorter battery life and I agree with that, the battery definitely goes faster than it did in my 10R. Fortunately there is a great solution for that, Mophie still makes a juice pack battery case for this phone and it doubles the battery life so I have the best of both worlds, a nice pocket form factor and great battery life, for anyone looking to upgrade their Iphone, I would give the Iphone SE some consideration, I love mine. > On Jan 12, 2023, at 9:59 PM, M.

Re: when I try to send a message with Siri it calls the person in sted. is this a bug in ios 16.2?
Hi Mitch, I had a similar problem when I first got my iPhone a few years ago. Below is my question and the fix for the problem. Hope this helps you as well. Original Message From: Mike B. Hi All, My wife & I received our SE model iPhones yesterday, & what a learning curve this is going to be! I don't know what setting this is but, hopefully that's all it is, a setting. Let's say I ask Siri to open Cellular, well she calls someone like Johnson Photo from my address book instead. If I ask Siri to turn on Voiceover she'll call someone else. Is this just a setting problem, or am I just flat out doing something wrong?! Thanks much. Take care. Mike Sent from my, iBarstool. Go Dodgers! From: Roger Crome What it sounds like to me is that Siri is not turned on. In iPhones prior to the 4S where SIRI was introduced, the command function of holding the home button in would behave the same as what you are describing.You should go to settings and open SIRI and see if the switch is turned on. If your phone came with the latest IOS, SIRI will be in the main settings list. If it has the prior IOS 9 version, you will have to open settings, then go to general and open this and SIRI will be in this list. Let me know if this works. Either way, we'll figure it out.

Hi Shai, Thank you and all others that replied. Your input was greatly appreciated. What happened, which I found out later was our router needed a firmware update and until this update was installed our Wifi had been knocked out but, only for our iPhones and computers, it didn't effect our Echo devices at all, which I don't understand. After Spectrum installed the firmware update and I rebooted / power cycled the modem / router everything was back to normal, for now anyways. I had been having this text failing to send message appearing for several months and I can't tell which iOS version I started hearing this message with but, someone pointed out that the message could be from texting someone using an Android phone.

Also, when I swipe one more time here's what is reported, Living room thermostat, current temperature 65 degrees button, calendar, sign or diagram The same voice never used to speak the calendar, sign and or diagram lingo before iOS16 either, and why does Siri voice speak degrees without the masculine ordinal in this dialog but not the prior dialog?. I'm sure this is all related to iOS16 but, could I have turned something on or off that may have triggered this abnormal speaking? If so what could it be?

Re: Is this a potential security problem?
Hi Christopher, I've never heard of the Attention Awareness setting you mentioned. Is this setting only available on some iPhones running iOS16, or is it available on all iPhones with all iOS versions? Also, where can this setting be found? Thanks mooy moocho. Take care. Mike.

Plus attention awareness is on by default, so this person would have to know that blind people tend to turn attention awareness off and then be able to snatch your phone away from you without you knowing it to keep you from just turning your head. I guess technically touch ID also isn’t secure, since someone could hit you over the head and then press your finger print to the finger print sensor, which come to think of it, I see all the time when reading these spy novels. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2022 3:41 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Is this a potential security problem? My initial reaction was that you are being New York paranoid. It is just as likely that a mugger could wack a blind person on the head, and put their finger on the device to unlock it if it has the home button. I've never heard of either thing happening anywhere. And, good luck to the thief who knows nothing about VoiceOver doing anything with the phone. Which leads me to my personal approach. The screen curtain is always on unless I need a sighted person's help, or want to show them something. So, again, good luck to the person who could use face ID to unlock my phone only to find a blank screen and something jabbering at them. Also, if you are holding your phone out in front of you, rather than wearing it in a harness for orientation or directions, you are putting yourself more at risk.

If a visually impaired person loses their phone, this is not an unlikely scenario as the mugger can take the device and just wait around and follow the visually impaired person without them knowing it, then, when the time is right, whip out the phone and get it unlocked without the owner ever even knowing it happened.

Go Dodgers! - Original Message - From: Richard Turner To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2022 5:01 PM Subject: Screen Recognition and Quick Settings, mystery sort of cleared up First, Screen Recognition came in with iOS 14 though it was seldom talked about until iOS 15. To have it show up in Quick Settings, you have to first turn it on under Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, VoiceOver Recognition. If it is not on there, it will not be in Quick Settings. I tested this by turning it off under VoiceOver Recognition and sure enough, it disappeared from Quick Settings. When I turned it back on in VoiceOver Recognition, I had to reboot the phone before it showed up again in quick Settings. Not sure why, but that is what I did. My recommendation is don’t have it in the rotor, but just in quick settings. There are other settings you may find it better to have in Quick Settings instead of in the Rotor. Once again to review, quick Settings is launched with a 2 finger quadruple tap. It functions like the rotor, but since you have to be more intentional about bringing it up, you won’t find yourself changing voice speaking rate when you wanted to jump by headings, etc. You can also enable Screen Recognition for specific apps once you figure out it helps in that app by going into VoiceOver Recognition, Screen Recognition and double tapping on apps, and selecting the apps for which you want it to default to on.
