Re: Simple Repeat Timer

2020-05-06 Thread Mike B.
It's called Simple Repeat Timer, but in Siri suggestions it's called, Repeat 
Timer.  It's  turned on in Siri suggestions, but it doesn't show in 
Notifications at all.  The icon on the Home screen is Repeat Timer as well, 
but when you go to the app store to  download the app, the app is called, 
Simple Repeat Timer, and it is different than the Repeat Timer app.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

What is the app name?
And, have you checked Settings, Notifications to make sure sounds are on for 
that app?

Subject: RE: just had a very scary iPhone experience


It really isn't a big deal especially with anything like the iPhone 8 which 
Josh has and newer. The iPhone 8 has a rating of IP67 which means you can 
actually submerse it under 3 feet of water for 30 minutes and it should not 
hurt the phone. Of course while Apple tests this, they wouldn't recommend 
you routinely do this, but just in case if it did fall into a full bath tub 
and you took it out nothing bad would happen. The latest iPhones are 
actually IP68 which means they can stand submersion under 2 meters (a bit 
over 6 and a half feet) for I think 30 minutes or 1 hour.
Some of you may remember the story of my 6S Plus which I got after it was 
released in September 2016. Then at Christmas I visited my family in 
northern British Columbia, went for a walk when it was -30 degrees out and 
promptly lost my phone. Despite hours of search along the approx. three 
quarter long driveway (my family has a working ranch in a very remote area) 
nobody found the phone. About 4 month later in mid April when the snow was 
gone my brother had another look and easily found it only feet away from 
where they all looked before, it was lying in the mud, by then it had gotten 
warmer, during the winter it got warmer, it got cold again, it snowed and it 
rained and all in all you'd think the phone would be dead. I told my brother 
to stick it in a bag of rice and to mail it to me, by the time he went to 
town and I received about a week passed and as soon as I got it I simply 
plugged it in. At first nothing at all happened and I got busy at my store, 
then a couple of hours later I came back in the office and not expecting 
anything I pushed the side button, Voiceover came on loud and clear asking 
for my PIN, as soon as I put it in the phone went crazy with dozens of 
notifications, messages and emails coming in. Since by then I had gotten a 
new phone this meant the SIM card was deactivated, yet after all this time 
in the harsh elements the phone connected to my store's WiFi and at first I 
thought all was working, in fact, I could make Facetime calls and all seemed 
normal. This lasted until I told one of my sighted employees with great 
astonishment that my phone had been found and was still working, but then he 
said that the screen was black. At first I thought screen curtain was on, 
but it was not and nothing we did made any difference. In other words, the 
phone was working normally except that the screen was obviously not working 
at all and later when I took it to an Apple store and they ran diagnostics 
they also told me the camera seemed to be damaged as well. The long story 
ended with me being able to get a replacement iPhone 6S Plus from Apple for 
a relatively small fee under the Apple Care Plus coverage I had purchased 
when I bought the phone, but still I thought it was pretty cool it survived 
this long period lying out in the open in harsh weather even though it 
didn't survive 100%, but all the touch gestures were working, all the radios 
from WiFi to Bluetooth and so on were working, just the display apparently 
was damaged as was the camera. I wouldn't be surprised if all would have 
been fine had this been an iPhone 8 or even an XR, XS, 11 or 11 Pro.

Sieghard

after a few months since that incident happened. I took of the screen

this device and you should get a dialogue on the computer stating it's 
setting up the iPhone, so give the iPhone the okie dokie, and if you go 
to This PC / list of drives, on my computer anyways, it's shows as, Apple 
iPhone , in the list of drives and folders.

Press enter on your iPhone icon and you should see a folder called, Internal 
Storage, press enter.
Now you should see a folder called, DCIM, press enter to open this bad boy 
up.
In here you might have 1 or more sub-folders, but you can open each of them 
to view your pictures or whatever, I say whatever because my DCIM folder is 
empty, but I save the pictures from my wife's iPhone this way.  Now just 
copy and paste these folders or content to whatever folder on your computer.



Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Subject: Syncing photos from iPhone to PC...


Hi List:

I just got my PC back from having a new solid state hard drive installed,
along with a new video card.

I am running Windows 10 and have an iPhone 7.

I don't take many pictures, so not sure if this is a new problem or not, but
I am not able to get the pics on my iPhone to sync to my iCloud photos on my
PC.

I did a Google search and tried every suggestion, as far as settings on the
phone and PC are concerned, but still no luck.

The photos are showing up when I open the iCloud app on the PC, so I know
they are there.  Just can't get them to sync to the iCloud photo folder.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Holly

Deidre,

I believe this must be your first device running iOS 13.x. What you are 
experiencing sounds like the haptic feedback engine at work as you swipe 
across your screen and get feedback indicating movement among its various 
buttons or controls. If you want to adjust the setting of this haptic 
feedback, go to Settings, Accessibility, Voiceover, Audio, sounds and 
haptics, and play with the haptic intensity setting found several swipes 
down the screen. This took me a bit of adjustment when I first upgraded to 
iOS 13.x but I adjusted and really like the feedback.

Re: the poop from Apple about the new SE sim card

2020-04-26 Thread Mike B.
This is where I have to be careful if I order by phone.  We have a plan 
that's grandfathered in and I don't want to lose that bad boy due to some 
dumbass error I might, well probably , would make by not paying close 
attention.  So, I'll make a practice run or 2 through the purchase website 
to see how it works.  Thanks for the heads-up.
Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Mike,



I think whether an SE 2020 can be ordered with a carrier SIM card from the 
Apple Store might be a function of the type of plan you have with your 
carrier. I have ordered from the Apple Store in the past while I had a 
Verizon postpaid plan and received my new iPhone with a Verizon SIM card 
already installed. However, I switched to a Verizon prepaid plan in late 
February and when I tried ordering my SE 2020 last Saturday using the Apple 
Store app, I received an error message when I attempted to complete the 
order when the app went to Verizon to verify my account info. I was unable 
to complete the Apple Store order unless I selected no carrier as my choice 
which included no SIM card. I'll simply move my Verizon SIM card from my 
iPhone 8 to my SE 2020 after I get it set up and ready to make calls. As I 
understand it, this will also avoid any new device activation charge from 
Verizon which they tried to charge me when I went from my iPhone 7 to my 
iPhone 8.

The SIM card has to be a Nano Sim; if the phone is that very old, it 
probably won't fit.

You'd have to call Apple or do some web search on the model you have to find 
out the size of the sim.

And you will need to go through your carrier to get the SIM card.

when upgrading from an iPhone 7 to an iPhone 8. I got some sort of confusing 
response from the new phone that my Apple ID did not match. Since I had only 
ever had one Apple ID, I decided at that point to restore from my encrypted 
iTunes backup which worked fine after the delay to re-download all the apps 
from the cloud. I believe when I get my SE 2020, I'll just restore from a 
backup and proceed without the phone to phone transfer.

Exactly what I m wondering too. When I did this method of phone to phone 
transfer from a 5S to my currently-running SE, it asked me nevertheless if I 
wanted either an Icloud or an ITunes backup. Shouldn t it have transferred 
everything from one to another phone (even my music from ITunes) without 
having me asked it for which backup I wanted to restore from? What s the 
essence then, in usin the phone to phone method?

I just had a thought.  Do you have a extra large font set?

I just use the standard font and know that in some cases, larger fonts

I was in Email when I tested it and I’m running iOS 13.4.1, so that may be

Of course, there seems to always be some app outliers that don’t widen when

Re: to buy SE 2020 from Verizon or Apple?

2020-04-18 Thread Mike B.
Here's the post from earlier:

From: Richard Turner
Technically, the SE first generation and second generation take the same 
size SIM card.
However, the new SIM cards are much faster, so Apple recommends getting a 
new SIM card with the new phone.
I was told by an Apple staff person that I could set up the new phone with 
the old SE SIM, but should then get a new SIM card as the performance will 
be much better.
And, the new SE is a Dual SIM phone; as in one physical SIM and one eSIM 
just like the 11 and xs/xr phones if your carrier supports the eSIM.

If you are planning to pay full price for a phone why not buy an unlocked

If you are in the habit of buying Apple Care, it is $79.00 from Apple, or if 
you want Apple Care plus theft protection $149.00.

I’ve always purchased direct from Apple until my last phone when I had to 
buy from the carrier, Xfinity, because that was before they offered the 
program where you could bring a phone to them and get it set up with their 
service.

They didn’t offer Apple Care;; but their own warranty which was ridiculously 
expensive.

I went with Apple this time and since Xfinity wasn’t listed as one of the 
carriers they work with, I bought the no SIM model.



It is all down to personal preference.

I’m ready to preorder the new SE 2020.  I can pay full price thanks to the 
stimulus check.  I’ve gotten my last two phones from Verizon, but wonder if 
there is a perk to buying from Apple directly.  The price appears the same. 
Verizon’s website says they’ll waive the activation fee if I buy online; 
maybe the same is true if I activate via Apple.  Verizon will unlock the 
phone after 60 days.  Apple has helped me in the past when I locked myself 
out of my phone, even though I didn’t have Apple Care.  So, is there a 
reason to buy direct from Apple or is this just a preference thing?

I went with Apple this time and since Xfinity wasn’t listed as one of the 
carriers they work with, I bought the no SIM model.



It is all down to personal preference.

Subject: to buy SE 2020 from Verizon or Apple?



I’m ready to preorder the new SE 2020.  I can pay full price thanks to the 
stimulus check.  I’ve gotten my last two phones from Verizon, but wonder if 
there is a perk to buying from Apple directly.  The price appears the same. 
Verizon’s website says they’ll waive the activation fee if I buy online; 
maybe the same is true if I activate via Apple.  Verizon will unlock the 
phone after 60 days.  Apple has helped me in the past when I locked myself 
out of my phone, even though I didn’t have Apple Care.  So, is there a 
reason to buy direct from Apple or is this just a preference thing?

Re: Background App Refresh, Explained In Lamen's Terms

2020-04-07 Thread Mike B.
Your suggestion of turning off the background app refresh is what prompted 
me to turn mine off, but I'm not very sharp with iPhone / computer crap so I 
thought I would see if I could find an article that shed a little more light 
on the subject.

This article may very well have its pros & cons, but if you're not using all 
these apps at the time, why the hell do they need to be running?  LOL

I mean, like with a PC, if you aren't using Word, Excel, Chrome and whatever 
the hell else programs that are just sitting there occupying open windows, 
you close them don't you?  So, I do the same with my iPhone.  I figure the 
apps will refresh when I need / open them.

Maybe that's why my iPhone & PC's very seldom have problems, I don't 
constantly have apps / programs running in the background that I'm not 
using.

Thanks Mike for posting this.

As one who has often recommended turning off background app refresh, this 
gives me something to think about.



One phrase in this article that makes me think he may be equating background 
app refresh with leaving apps in the app switcher is when he said taking 
them out of the multi-tasking window prevents them from doing their 
background refreshing….



Well, I’ve seen too many cases where having a bunch of apps in the app 
switcher has most definitely used up the resources and only until someone 
clears out their app switcher does their phone go back to operating 
correctly.



This has been even on newer iPhone X’s and 11’s.

So I’m not yet convinced that Apple handles leaving things in the app 
switcher very well.

I know they claim to, but I work with a lot of people with iPhones and my 
experience says they can eat the resources and leave a phone sluggish and/or 
down right useless until everything is cleared out.



If leaving them in the app switcher is the only way to have them refresh in 
the background, I guess I will just not be taking advantage of this feature.



Thanks,

Richard

iOS Background App Refresh Explained in Layman’s Terms



Background App Refresh allows your apps to check for new information in the 
background in an intelligent and controlled manner. Because of Background 
App
Refresh, apps do not get a blank check to run in the background, but instead 
are only able to refresh at certain times, locations, and battery levels.



I absolutely hate blogs that tell people to disable Background App Refresh. 
Most of these “How to Fix Battery Drain” articles are designed to get clicks
and are not very concerned with accuracy. Well I’m here to set the record 
straight about Background App Refresh. I happened to have written an article
about how to fix iPhone battery drain that has received over 2 million+ hits 
in the last two years.



Background App Refresh does not give any app a blank check to run whenever 
it wants. It actually adds a layer of _intelligence _to the way your phone 
handles apps in
the background. I believe that in some cases, it could actually increase 
energy efficiency of your iOS device. To get a better understanding of what 
Background
App Refresh adds to the iOS experience, here is Apple’s own definition of 
Background App Refresh.



…Apps can continue to run for a short period of time and are then set to a 
suspended state so they are not actively in use, open, or taking up system 
resources.
They will instantly launch when you return to them. Certain tasks or 
services can continue to run in the background. To lessen the effect on 
battery life,
normal app background refreshing is scheduled for efficient times, such as 
when your device is connected to Wi-Fi, plugged into a power source, or

of this feature can refresh themselves in the background.



For example, an app can check if new content is available and download the

updates, or retrieve the updated content in the background when it receives

the app. Apps can also schedule background refreshing based on your 
location.
If you force an app to quit by dragging it up from the multitasking display, 
it won’t be able to do its background activities, such as tracking location 
or responding to VoIP calls,
until you relaunch the app. iOS learns patterns based on your use of the 
device and tries to predict when an app should be updated in the background. 
It
also learns when the device is typically inactive, such as during the night, 
to reduce update frequency when the device is not in use.

To summarize Apple’s definition, Background App Refresh adds a layer of 
intelligence and efficiency to the way your apps act when you are not using 
them. It allows apps to
temporarily open in the background, receive an update, and then freeze again 
so it cannot use system resources or drain your battery. The cool thing is
that it will plan these little update pow-wows around times you are already 
using your device, in good Wi-Fi, or in a location you normally check those
apps, which can make your iOS experience much smoother. Instead of opening 
an app you use constantly and waiting for a few seconds for it to update, 
you
open the app and it’s already ready for your eyes to feast upon. Now you 
have to answer two questions when enabling or disabling Background App 
Refresh:

list of 2 items
1. Do I check this app enough/is it critical for me to have this app 
up-to-date?
2. (optional) Do I trust the developer of this app to implement it correctly 
and not abuse it?
list end

Question 1 is pretty straightforward. Do you absolutely need or want an app 
to always stay refreshed with current information? If you answer yes, then
enable Background App Refresh for that app. Question 2 is a little harder to 
determine unless you follow the current tech blogs and trends. If you have 
absolutely no idea
how to answer question 2, forget about it. Stick with the first question. 
For me, question 2 eliminated any Facebook and Google-related app I have 
installed on my phone.

I simply do not trust Facebook or Google to have my best interest in mind 
because I am not their customer. Both companies see me as a set of 
 “eyeballs”
to show me ads, and because our interests don’t align, I’m disabling BAR for 
any app written by them. Simple as that.

A good example of an app that meets both criterion is
the best Twitter app for iOS, Tweetbot.
I trust the developers at Tapbots,
Paul Haddad
 and
Mark Jardine,
because of their track record of making fantastic apps, and I check it often

I did a quick web search and found some results on Amazon.

Some are just thermometers and some include the humidity.



Maybe someone has one they used.

Our WiFi thermostat from Honeywell gives the indoor and outdoor temp and

Getting the humidity with VoiceOver is difficult, as I have to use a

Re: iPhone Compatible Hydrometer

2020-03-21 Thread Mike B.
Hi Richard,

Yes, I found several on Amazon as well and thought I had better ask to get 
some input before I just ordered 1 at random.  I doubt if I'll find a 
talking hydrometer, but I was hoping to maybe find someone using a bluetooth 
hydrometer.  If all else fails I thought I might find 1 with an L E D 
readout that I could scan / read with Be My Eyes, the Voice Dream Scanner or 
a similar type app.  Thanks much.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go dodgers!

I did a quick web search and found some results on Amazon.

Some are just thermometers and some include the humidity.



Maybe someone has one they used.

Our WiFi thermostat from Honeywell gives the indoor and outdoor temp and 
humidity.



Getting the humidity with VoiceOver is difficult, as I have to use a 
different app than what I use for adjusting the thermostat.

Hi Sieghard

I was so happy to get a face recognition iPhone for exactly those reasons. 
Though my Vermont weather isn’t as bad, the wood working and hard use of my 
hands in projects caused my finger print reader to rarely work.  I was often 
redoing it so it would work for a little while.

I have found that I can be subtle when opening my iPhone.  As all it has to 
do is sort of see my face and it clicks on.  I have it on the setting that 
doesn’t require eye contact.

Now if only my talking tape measure and audible level could be controlled by 
my voice that would be great!

Is there a email list for blind wood workers out there!
 Or, maybe those working on vintage cars?

One more related thing.  I did struggle a little to learn the gestures that 
replace the home key.  I was trying to do them from a podcast description. 
It took me some practice and I did have some frustration.  But, now I prefer 
the gestures and miss them when using older iPhones.

Hello,

I have a very strange issue on my iPhone 6 running ios 12.4.1.  Voice over 
is working fine, but I can do absolutely nothing with Siri.  Frankly, I am 
not convinced that the problem is  with the iPhone, but I can do nothing if 
I attempt to dictate..  This is true whether I attempt to get the 
temperature, dictate a message, etc.  I also pressed the home button and 
said “turn on Siri” with no response.  Only once did I get a response to a 
command.  The response I heard was “I’m having trouble.”

So ideas please regarding how to trouble shoot.  Just in case, what is the 
phone number for Apple tech support?

Thanks.

Don Roberts

If that is 100% under Accessibility, larger text sizes, that is extremely 
large and can mess up VoiceOver because less text fits on the screen.



I don’t know what the font equivalent is, but it would be very large print.

That is not normal behavior at all.

Which voice are you using?

What font size do you have set?

You may just need to reboot the phone by holding the power and home buttons 
for 8 or 10 seconds and then wait for it to come back on.

I also have an SE and have not experienced this with Tom Enhanced, which is 
my primary voice.

Contacts Announcing Initials

2020-03-14 Thread Mike B.
Hi All,

I'm running iOS13.3.1 on an SE iPhone.  I just went into my contacts to add 
a contact and noticed that for each entry VoiceOver is announcing initials 
for all contacts.  I opened a couple of contacts to see if any of the 
entries had initials and there are none.  I've never heard this behavior 
before and just wanted to know if there's a way to turn this reporting of 
initials off?  All input is greatly appreciated.  Thanks mooy moocho.

Automatic Log-in With App / Website

Hi All,

Running an SE iPhone with iOS 13.3.1.  I have a particular app / website 
that I would like for my phone to remember both the user name / log-in and 
password, so when I open it I can log directly in without having to enter 
the password like the way I save this info in a browser on my PC.  My phone 
remembers the user name, but not the password.  Is there a way to have an 
iPhone do this?  The app is the ADT Pulse.  All help is greatly appreciated. 
Thanks mooy moocho.

Re: Ring Door Bell

Hi Robin,

I have the Amazon A Lady app on my iPhone and my wife, who's sighted, has 
the Ring Doorbell on her iPhone.  If I put the A Lady app on my wife's 
iPhone and pair the Ring Doorbell to the skill, do you know if I can then 
remove the A Lady app from my wife's iPhone after the connection has been 
made?  Thanks much.

Hi,

This is not true.  It was announced a few months ago that it will work with 
any echo device. I just answered and ended a call to my Ring doorbell 2 with 
an echo dot third generation.

Perhaps those who already have the skill enabled but can't get it to work 
might need to disable the skill, re-enable it and re-discover the doorbells. 
It is working here and there are no echo devices with screens in my 
possession.

"Which Ring and Amazon products support two-way communication?
Two-way communication is supported on all Echo Smart Speakers (like Echo 
Dot) and Smart Displays (like Echo Show) and compatible Fire TV devices. Any 
Ring doorbell or security camera can be configured for two-way

Because it isn't a replacement as much as a supposedly better interface, but 
Apple isn't going to allow someone direct access to their devices, so I'm 
fairly sure WALTR2 does everything through iTunes in the background.

  Hi, I purchased Waltr2 on Jonathan Mosen’s recommendation on a recent 
podcast. I couldn’t get the trial version to work, so I decided to take a 
risk and upgrade to the full version. The software still does not work with 
JAWS. I’m on the latest build of Windows 10, and for whatever reason when I 
tab around the screen, the only thing I can activate is the main sub menu 
with items like About, Check for Updates, Support, etc. What are other 
people doing to make this thing work? On the podcast, Jonathan was tabbing 
about just fine through the various controls. I’m highly interested in 
replacing iTunes as a file transfer source, so any suggestions on how to 
crack this accessibility issue would be most appreciated. Thanks in

Re: Apple Store Charge

2020-02-17 Thread Mike B.
Hi Richard,

I actually had a phone number saved for the Apple Store, 1-800 my apple,or, 
1-800-692-7753, but I didn't find it until after posting my question.  Well, 
I allowed them into my account and we found out that for whatever reason 
Apple charged my card $1 then reversed the charge, I guess this was to check 
the validity of the card.  The charge for the remove ads is still pending, 
so now that everything is supposedly okie dokie I'll just wait.

I'm not seeing / hearing any ads, but I leave the phone on my desk while I'm 
using the treadmill and the Simple Repeat Timer is running.  I can hear the 
tones just fine and the reason for the timer is so I can change the speed 
and incline at various time intervals that I've set in the timer.  The timer 
was acting a little inconsistently and I thought ads were the reason for 
this, so I thought I would block the ads, yeah right!  LOL  LOL

Thanks much.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Hi Mike,

I gather the purchase didn’t take out the ads from your app?

I think I would start with Apple Accessibility in that if they cannot tell 
you, they will tell you who to contact.

Since apps are in their own little category now I’m not sure who you would 
go through.  I do know that if it is the iTunes Store, there is no phone 
contact, which is why I’d start with accessibility, 877-204-3930



Let us know what happens.

App Store Purchase Query

Hi All,

Back on the 10th of this month I made a purchase of 99¢ to stop ads on my 
Simple Repeat Timer app via the App Store.  Well, the App Store / Apple has 
credited me back the 99¢, so I'm not sure what this means.  Would someone 
please enlighten me as to if this was something I possibly did in the 
purchase process, or if this means that this particular app can't be updated 
so to speak?  Thanks much.

2020-02-11 Thread Mike B.
Hi Sieghard,

You stated that this Sony headset charges via, USB-C.  Does this mean if you 
don't have a, USB-C, port you would have to get an adaptor to convert the 
standard USB port to USB-C?  Thanks much.
Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Hi Ed,



I did buy the Logitech H800 and find them comfortable, otherwise I’d say 
they are adequate but not more.

Sound quality is mediocre and their 6-hour battery life is ridiculously 
short for such a large headset.

The dual USB and Bluetooth functionality is nice, being able to charge while 
using is actually good and not something most Bluetooth headsets can do.

Lastly, the power switch which slides from the off position to Bluetooth in 
the middle and USB if you slide it up another click is of rather poor 
quality and mine sometimes seems to not work already.



I also recently purchased a Sony WH-CH510 Bluetooth headset, the link I 
provided is for Amazon.com where they go for $59.99 and in this case it even 
includes a hard case. This is more or less the same as the Logitech H800 and 
while they can’t be used with a USB dongle, they sound definitely better and 
boast up to 35 hours battery life, are Bluetooth 5.0 and charge via USB-C. 
They are also on-ear, one small disadvantage is that they seem to fit a 
little bit tighter than the Logitech H800, but still fairly comfortable.



Regards,

Sieghard

Try the Logitech H800 headset. They are wireless but can be plugged in and 
use while charging. They are light, excellent  Bluetooth range and are price 
around $65. No wires hanging out like on the Koss. Also some report on the 
reviews that the  wireless Koss Bluetooth is poor.

All I can say is just the other day I bought a pair of Koss Portapros that 
are Bluetooth and they are phenomenal!  I mean no latency at all.  Believe 
me, I have put them through their paces and I have never seen anything like 
this.   When there are pauses and speech or music resumes, nothing is lost 
in that first sound or syllable.  They are a head band type of head phone 
that goes over the ear but is not a can.  You can still hear what is going 
on around you.  I wear them when I am using Aira but since I wear hearing 
aids them, I put them more over the Mics on my behind the ear aids and then 
I can hear what is going on around me and I can also hear the agent.  I do 
not wear hearing aids when I wear them just for listening purposes.  Hope 
this all makes sense.

  Yes, Bose are good, but I question paying $300 or more for a pair of 
Bluetooth headsets, they are still Bluetooth headsets and until this new 
Bluetooth technology which I read about a couple of weeks ago makes its 
debut, Bluetooth just can't touch the sound quality of a wired headsets. 
Then there is the question of price in general, you can easily spend $2,000 
or more for a true audio file quality headset and that’s not even talking 
about a dedicated headset amplifier to drive your high-end headset. But I 
guess that is beyond what most people are looking for just as most of my 
outdoor or hunting customers buy a $300 to $700 pair of binoculars and not 
the $3,200 pair of Swarovskis.

  If you really want to make an informed decision, spend an hour or so 
reading some or all of the information on this website:



  Audiophile 101: The Beginner Guide to Headphones & Hi-Res Audio



  Then also take a look at this site which includes many examples of 
headsets and links to buying them on Amazon, Bose, by the way, usually doesn’t 
make it onto these types of lists:



  TOP 30 BEST AUDIOPHILE HEADPHONES FOR 2020



  Here are two examples of the very high-end:



  Sennheiser HD 820 Closed-Back Headphone

  Or this one:

Re: How Do I Add an Emergency Contact?

2020-02-05 Thread Mike B.
Hi Richard,

I looked in the Emergency App and didn't have anyone listed.  I then went 
into the Health app and I added my sister as an emergency contact.  I then 
did a search and found these 2 ways of removing emergency contacts.

Featured snippet from the web
I modified the original steps for using the gestures way of navigating.
Remove emergency contacts
list of 5 items
1. Open the Health app and go to the Profile button / your picture in the 
top right corner & single finger double tap.
2. Swipe to, Medical ID, & single finger double tap.
3. Single finger double tap the, Edit button, then swipe several times to 
the Emergency Contacts, heading.
4. Swipe to the right to the contacts list, now find a contact you want to 
remove and swipe down with 1 finger to the, Delete button, and do a single 
finger double tap to remove.
5. Tap Done to save your changes.
list end


Another set of steps, not modified for gesture navigation:
How To Remove An Emergency Contact On An iPhone
list of 6 items
1. Open the Health app.
2. Tap the your account icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
3. Tap Medical ID.
4. Tap Edit in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
5. Tap the red minus next to the emergency contact you'd like to remove.
6. Tap Delete.
list end




Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

I'd start with opening settings, go to Emergency SOS, and the ones you have 
in there will be toward the bottom of that screen.
You can delete them there I think.
You can hit the edit emergency contacts in the health app and it should take 
you to the health app. Then it seems a little convoluted as to how you get 
to them exactly.
I'll explore a bit more.

  From your contact, double tap on add to emergency contacts.
  If they have more than one number, you will need to pick the phone number 
you want to use.
  Then, pick the relationship, relative, friend, spouse, etc.
  Once you double tap on the relationship, you will be back in the contact 
and that person is now added to your emergency contacts, so you can close 
the contact and you are done.

Mike,
if you are on iOS 13.3, try a one finger triple tap, then find the save 
button.
Then, go to the photos app, it should be the most recent photo.
Double tap it, and find the share options.
What I would do is email it to yourself with the subject Hardware or 
something.
Then you will have it easily available to show someone.

Re: Saving Picture from Text Message

2020-01-18 Thread Mike B.
Hi Anna,

I haven't been able to save the picture from the text message, that's the 
problem.  I did figure out how to send the picture, but I want to save the 
picture without saving the text message.  This picture is of closet door 
rolling hardware and I want to be able to have it on my iPhone so when we go 
to hardware stores I can show them what we're looking for instead of trying 
to explain it to someone.  This hardware is right around 50 years old and is 
hard to find, so having it available when we're out & about is important. 
Thank you for your reply.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Hi Mike,


Now that you've saved the picture, find it in Photos. It should be the most 
recent photo, so it should be easy to find. Find the Share button, and then 
use the option you need to send it by email or text to the person you want.


Best,

I was hoping there was a better way.  For whatever reason getting subscribed 
to this list is not an easy thing to do.  It took me several attempts when 
subscribing before and I know people that just quit trying to subscribe

Thanks much for your help and I'll get to unsubscribing and resubscribing.

Re: Facetime Query

2019-10-19 Thread Mike B.
Hi Dave,

The call I received yesterday did not show in Recents of the phone app and 
also was not in the Facetime app.  I didn't answer the call because I didn't 
recognize the phone number, but whether I answer or not the call should be 
showing somewhere I would think.  Thank you for your reply.

Hi All,



Running iOS 12.4.1 on an SE iPhone.  I got a call yesterday on Facetime, but 
all the iPhone said was Facetime and a phone number several times, no ring 
of any kind.  I've never used Facetime, so here's my questions.

1. Do I need to assign a ring tone to Facetime?

2. Why didn't the phone number that called me show in Recents?

3. Do phone numbers that call Facetime show somewhere else, and if so, 
where?



I looked in Facetime settings and didn't see any place for recent calls, 
only a place for blocked numbers.  Do y'all turn the Facetime feature off 
being that most of us probably don't have enough vision to see it anyways? 
All help will be appreciated.  Thanks much.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go Rams!

Re: Battery Health

2019-10-10 Thread Mike B.
Well, I don't know what else to say other than what my battery health report 
is, as reported to me by  Voiceover.  Maybe it's because I don't use my 
iPhone for a whole lot like all you other folks.  When we're at home I 
always forward my cell phone calls to the home phone number and if I receive 
a text message on my iPhone I'll respond to from the iPhone, but I do most 
of my texting from my computer.

I know this is a real rookie question, but I’ve never been in this situation 
until today and I didn’t know what to do. I got a call when I was in a 
meeting and could not answer it. Normally I mute the phone in such a 
situation so it vibrates but doesn’t ring, therefore it can more easily 
ignored. Today I had forgotten to mute it. I did not want to take the call 
and interrupt the meeting.



Isn’t there something I could have done to send the call straight to 
voice-mail? I have Anna Dresner’s really good book on the iPhone and have 
searched it, but can’t find what I’m looking for.



Can somebody help me? I’ve had the phone almost two years and I am still 
learning so much.

Re: Those wanting to avoid iOS 13

Hi Richard,

Thank you very much for this tip.  Sure sounds like Microsoft when they were 
trying to sneak Windows 10 past Windows 7 users through their update 
process.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go dodgers!

Subject: Those wanting to avoid iOS 13


A coworker sent me this.



Info from another group worth noteing - Hello group! With iOS 13 coming out 
and lots of us not wanting to download it because of the multiple voiceover 
bugs, may I take this opportunity to warn you of apples rather sneaky way of 
overriding your settings to install updates when you don't want them.
If you go into settings, general, software update, you'll find a button to 
turn off automatic software updates. Go ahead and switch that to off, but be 
aware that it may not stop the update from being installed. There's another 
step you will probably need to take.
You may find a dialogue popping up sometime in the next few days asking if 
you want to install iOS 13. The two options you'll be given are "install 
now" or "later". You'll assume you need to choose "later", since you don't 
want the update at all, and then you'll be asked to enter your passcode. At 
this point, the phone is ready to install the update, despite the fact that 
you have auto update set to off, and it will do it sometime in the couple of 
days after you've seen the dialogue come up.
So, when the dialog has appeared and you've chosen the later option, go back 
into settings, general, software update and you'll see another button has 
appeared, called "Cancel auto install" or something like that. You need to 
double tap that button to stop the phone doing the update automatically. And 
all of this happens even though you've got your auto update set to off. 
Apple sure are keen to get us updating.
Sorry for the long post but I wouldn't want anyone to get caught out by 
this.






Richard


Always look out for #1, and be careful not to step in #2.

I installed it and it seems to be accessible to some degree, but there are 
buttons that are not described and I'm not sure what they do.  Also when 
choosing your language English United States is there twice and it's not 
clear which one you're supposed to select.  This is not the only language 
that has double choices.  No, I haven't used it, per say, I'll try it if I

What3words divides the world into 57 trillion squares, each with a unique 
three-word address

Police have urged everyone to download a smartphone app they say has already 
saved several lives. What is it and how does it work?

Kicked. Converged. Soccer.

These three randomly chosen words saved Jess Tinsley and her friends after 
they got lost in a forest on a dark, wet night.

They had planned a five-mile circular stroll through the 4,900 acre (2,000 
hectare) woodland Hamsterley Forest, in County Durham, on Sunday evening, 
but after three hours they were hopelessly lost.

"We were in a field and had no idea where we were," the 24-year-old care 
worker from Newton Aycliffe said.

"It was absolutely horrendous. I was joking about it and trying to laugh 
because I knew if I didn't laugh I would cry."

Jess Tinsley dialled 999 after getting lost - and was told to download an 
app to her smartphone

At 22:30 BST they found a spot with phone signal and dialled 999.

"One of the first things the call-handler told us to do was download the 
what3words app," Ms Tinsley said.

"I had never heard of it."

Within a minute of its download, the police said they knew where the group 
was and the soaked and freezing walkers were swiftly found by the Teesdale 
and Weardale Search and Mountain Rescue Team.

Hamsterley Forest
Image caption
Hamsterley Forest covers a large area of County Durham

"I have told everyone I know to download this app," Ms Tinsley said.

"You never know when you are going to get lost and need it."

What3words essentially points to a very specific location.

Its developers divided the world into 57 trillion squares, each measuring 3m 
by 3m (10ft by 10ft) and each having a unique, randomly assigned three-word 
address.

For example, the door of 10 Downing Street is slurs.this.shark, while the 
area across the road where the press congregate is stage.pushy.nuns.

It was born out of company founder Chris Sheldrick's postal-related problems 
growing up in rural Hertfordshire.

"Our postcode did not point to our house," he said.

"We got used to getting post meant for other people, or having to stand in 
the road to flag down delivery drivers."

Chris SheldrickImage copyright What3words
Image caption
Chris Sheldrick founded what3words in 2013

Ten years in the music industry, which involved trying to get bands to meet 
at specific entrances to their venues, also fuelled his frustration.

"I tried to get people to use longitude and latitude but that never caught 
on," Mr Sheldrick said.

"It got me thinking, how can you compress 16 digits into something much more 
user friendly?

"I was speaking to a mathematician and we found there were enough 
combinations of three words for every location in the world."

In fact, 40,000 words was enough.

The company started in 2013 and now employs more than 100 people at its base 
in Royal Oak, west London.

Mongolia has adopted what3words for its postal service, while Lonely 
Planet's guide for the country gives three word addresses for its points of 
interest.

"I have told everyone I know to download this app," Ms Tinsley said.

"You never know when you are going to get lost and need it."

What3words essentially points to a very specific location.

Its developers divided the world into 57 trillion squares, each measuring 3m 
by 3m (10ft by 10ft) and each having a unique, randomly assigned three-word 
address.

For example, the door of 10 Downing Street is slurs.this.shark, while the 
area across the road where the press congregate is stage.pushy.nuns.

It was born out of company founder Chris Sheldrick's postal-related problems 
growing up in rural Hertfordshire.

"Our postcode did not point to our house," he said.

"We got used to getting post meant for other people, or having to stand in 
the road to flag down delivery drivers."

Chris Sheldrick founded what3words in 2013

Ten years in the music industry, which involved trying to get bands to meet 
at specific entrances to their venues, also fuelled his frustration.

"I tried to get people to use longitude and latitude but that never caught 
on," Mr Sheldrick said.

"It got me thinking, how can you compress 16 digits into something much more 
user friendly?

"I was speaking to a mathematician and we found there were enough 
combinations of three words for every location in the world."

In fact, 40,000 words was enough.

The company started in 2013 and now employs more than 100 people at its base 
in Royal Oak, west London.

Mongolia has adopted what3words for its postal service, while Lonely 
Planet's guide for the country gives three word addresses for its points of 
interest.

Mercedes Benz has also included its system in its cars and what3words is now 
being used in 35 languages.

But still, not enough people know about it according to Lee Wilkes, a crew 
manager for Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, one of 35 English and Welsh 
emergency services to have signed up to the system.

"It cuts out all ambiguity about where we need to be," he said.

Tackling fires in large rural expanses, for example on moors, will be helped 
by the system, Mr Wilkes said.

"Instead of saying 'meet at the gate and then get directed from there,' we 
can be absolutely specific about where our crew needs to get to," Mr Wilkes 
said.

"It will make for a much more effective service. We are quite excited about 
it.

"It would be flippant of me to say this will become commonplace but I really 
do think it could be.

"I just cannot see a downside."

My work phone which is an 8 plus did exactly what you describe today.
I tried everything.
Then, I had my sighted wife go in and reset all settings.
When she turned on VoiceOver, it is now talking.
I had to reenter passwords, reselect sounds/ringtones, display background, 
etc.
But, it works now.

The Spectrum Mobile app is for managing your Spectrum account; for example,

The Spectrum TV app is for actually enjoying the content of your

Subject: Some Interesting VoiceOver Accessibility Facts About the Spectrum 
Cable Service, It's getting Better and Better

This is for all of you who subscribe to Spectrum Cable.  I realize that
Spectrum is a Canadian company but I can only report my experience here in
the U.S.

1.
The Spectrum Mobile for iOS app appears to be 100% VoiceOver accessible.
This is to say, I have yet to discover any area of the app that does not
work with VoiceOver.

2.
The Spectrum TV app, for iOS, appears to be 100% VoiceOver accessible, also.
In fact, I have been using it for several days, now, and am amazed at how
well it works with VoiceOver.  I have installed it on both iPhone and iPad
and both experiences are marvelous.

3.
Did you know that any Spectrum subscriber can add upto 5 limited users to
his account? In order to access various features to which the primary member
is subscribed? For no additional costs.

So, for example, if you are subscribed to Spectrum for your television cable
service, not only can you install the Spectrum TV app on all of your devices
so that you can enjoy all of your allowed stations, from within your home
and a subset of those stations when a way from home, you can authorize up to
5 limited users to have access to that same channel line-up on their mobile
devices, as well, on their respective mobile devices.  I say limited because
these users cannot access your actual account in terms of receiving bills,
seeing your account number, etc.  They can only see the items that you allow
them to see.  I am using the TV tool, as merely an example.  Each of your
authorized limited users will have her own login user ID and Password,
separate and distinct from your own.  You can change their account access
permissions or remove them from your account at any time, at which point the
Spectrum TV app and any of its related features will be immediately
disabled.

The best part is that the entire process of creating and managing users, is
completely VoiceOver accessible in Safari for iOS.

Now I stipulate Safari because the more advanced features of Spectrum
account management can only be accomplished via a web browser, not the
mobile app.  The app, to dayte, simply does not allow for such advanced
account management.

So if you are a Spectrum Cable subscriber, and you have not yet done so,
create your Spectrum online account, sign in, download, and enjoy.

Mark

Hi All,

Okay I found out from Verizon that, Name Share ID, was disabled , so Verizon 
enabled  the, Name Share ID, and I should have the caller ID settings in my 
Phone app / folder in 24 hours.  If anyone else is having the same problem 
you can have Verizon enable it or go to the Verizon website and do a search 
for, Name Share ID, to see if you can enable it and this is where you make 
display changes as well.

iPhone Not Working, Too Hot Message

2019-06-26 Thread Mike B.
Hi All,

This is just a heads-up for those that live in warmer climates.  Today my 
wife and I went into a restaurant to have lunch, it was a little after 11:00 
am and was a little over 90º outside.  I left my iPhone in the car since we 
wouldn't be very long.  Well, were in the restaurant about 1 hour and when 
we got back into the car I went to check my phone to see if I had any missed 
calls.  This message I got surprised me.  Voiceover stated;  Your iPhone is 
too hot and won't work until it cools off, or something like that.  So, I 
took the phone out of its Otterbox holster and held it in front of the AC 
vent for several minutes and it finally cooled off enough to work.  Whoa 
boy, it doesn't seem to have suffered any damage, what a relief!  I've been 
using cell phones for damn near 30 years and I've never had a phone not work 
because it had gotten too warm!  Anyways, I would say it had probably gotten 
no more than 110º in the car being we had parked in the shade and the phone 
was not in any direct sunlight.  Well, I'll never leave my phone in the car 
again!  LOL

Just wanted to give y'all the heads-up to say just take your phone with you 
so this does not happen to you.

Re: Dates Saying as Words

2019-06-25 Thread Mike B.
Hi Richard,

Thank you very much for verifying that.  I had 2 hours to kill while we were 
on the road this morning and couldn't find a setting to read the month as a 
word anywhere, so I thought I would ask to make sure I hadn't overlooked 
something.

As for the Voiceover pronunciation section, I think I'll try putting in the 
month with both 1 and 2 digits and a slash to narrow down the options a 
little bit to see how it works.  Thanks much.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go dodgers!

hi Mike,
As far as I know, that is not a setting. If the date is written, 06/25/2019 
it will read it as numbers.
If you wanted 06/ to always read as June, you could try creating a 
pronunciation entry in the Pronunciation section of the VoiceOver Speech 
settings.
I'm not sure if slashes are allowed, but it might be worth a try.
if it works, you could do an entry for all twelve months. Just remember that 
if someone writes just 6/25/2019 it won't help. And I'm sure you don't want 
every number 6 spoken as June.
Then you have those who use dashes when they write dates ...
Good luck,
Richard

Hi Esther, and all,
I hope it is clear that Winston's intent for the tones is to inform you 
of the amount of text, so if the volume is at a reasonable level, and you 
either get no tones, or very quiet; it could mean there is little or no text 
visible.
I am finding that his app doesn't need the phone quite so far above the 
page as some.
But, if it is a full page of text, and you have a stand like the Fopydo 
which is about 10.5 or 11 inches above the page, it will emit a steady tone 
for 2 or 3 seconds and take the picture. Assuming of course, auto capture is 
on.
Otherwise, if you double tap the capture image, it gets nearly 100 
percent accuracy.
Since his last version, I have only not heard a tone when the page had 
the blank side up.
This is an iPhone SE, but that is also true with my work phone which is 
the 8 plus.

Re: WiFi calling

2019-05-26 Thread Mike B.
Hi Marie,

We use wifi calling exclusively at either home even though we have a good 
Verizon signal.  I guess you could say using wifi is some added insurance 
against dropped calls, unless you lose your internet service!  LOL  Give it 
a try just to experiment and see how you like it.  A tip, if you have both 2 
& 5G networks available, the 2G has better range and is a little slower, but 
the 5G hasbetter speed with a little less range.  Either way I think you'll 
do better with either the 2 or 5g wifi than strictly using the Verizon 
signal.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go Dodgers!
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please 
everybody.

I have a fairly poor cell signal in my home and too often have calls

excellent. I would like some opinions about using WiFi calling to improve 
this. I admit that I know little about the feature so any help will be 
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Re: How to Change VO Speed on 6S by Single Digit Increments?

2019-05-21 Thread Mike B.
Hi Dani,

You have to do a single finger double tap and hold, until you hear a sound, 
then move your finger up or down the screen to adjust these slider settings 
and then lift your finger off the screen when you finally get to your 
desired number.  This can be really agravating because as soon as you lift 
your finger off the screen it'll change by a couple of single digits.  So, 
keep playing around with it until you get your desired number.  When you 
aren't getting any responses by moving your finger, do another double tap 
and hold and try again!  LOL  What a pain.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go Dodgers!

Hi, Everyone.
I bought a used 128G 6S and got help from my husband re transferring
data from my old phone to the new one. Everything's working well so
far *crossd fingers*. But I can't figure out how to change the VO
speech rate incrementally. It's at 56 percent, and when I flick
up/down, it moves in units of 10. 66 is a little fast, and 46 is a
little slow. I'd like it at about 60. Ideas?

Thhanks,

The Qardio also has the normal cuff that goes around the upper arm and 
closes with Velcro, a small pack on the outside has some batteries, I think 
AAA, and the electronics which connect it to the app. You start the 
measurement from the app, a small motor inflates the cuff and as is normal 
with electronic blood pressure devices slowly releases the pressure. You can 
get it directly from Qardio or on Amazon, maybe also at Best Buy and places 
like that and probably also from an Apple Store.

The Qardio  is a wireless cuff that workds great. When you unroll it to put 
it on it turns on. Then you go to the Qardio app and press the start button 
and it gives you your blood pressure. The app even saves your readings. The 
app is totally accessible. You can get it on Amazon. They have great tech 
support if you have any issues. Oh one more thing, when you roll up the cuff 
it turns itself off. It comes in a nice box to store it.

Mr. Ed

Hi Sieghard,



My wife watched a demonstration of the iHealth app on a local TV news 
stations health segment and thought it was cool, the way it worked / its 
portability.  Would you please tell me about the Qardio monitor you're 
speaking about?  Does it have a arm cuff and work well with voiceover? 
Where do you get it?  Thanks much.


Take care.  Mike.  Sennt from my iBarstool.

Hi All,



Does anyone have any experience with the iHealth upper arm blood pressure 
monitor?  If so, would you please share your likes and dislikes, ease or 
lack of ease of use opinions on how it works with the iPhone?  Does it play 
well with VoiceOver?  All input will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks mooy

Hi Sieghard,

Which model of the Qardio do you have?  On Amazon they have several to 
choose from.  Thanks much.  BTW, my wife liked the iHealth Feel so, we got 
it and it is pretty easy to set up and works very well with Voiceover.  But, 
I think I'll put the Qardio on my iPhone.

Take care.  Mike.  Sennt from my iBarstool.

Yes, we have a Qardio and it seems to be the one which always gets mentioned 
by others on the list. It works fine and seems to be accurate.

The Qardio also has the normal cuff that goes around the upper arm and 
closes with Velcro, a small pack on the outside has some batteries, I think 
AAA, and the electronics which connect it to the app. You start the 
measurement from the app, a small motor inflates the cuff and as is normal 
with electronic blood pressure devices slowly releases the pressure. You can 
get it directly from Qardio or on Amazon, maybe also at Best Buy and places 
like that and probably also from an Apple Store.
