Hi, First, since I'm running an iPhone 5, and its 32GB, this doesn't really affect me. But, if I was running an iPhone 4, with 16 or even 8GB, I think this would really piss me off. And not to mention the space taken up by a download you don't want, and had no choice in declining, your only option is to then install to free up the space to an OS which the hardware is under powered to use smoothly. I think this is really the point of Pablo's frustration. He was in a total lose lose situation. Have a big chunk of space taken up by an update, or, install the update and have your phone sluggish as all hell. I'm just curious, are any of you guys running an iPhone 4? I bet you aren't. lol.

RE: Calendar Issues
Hi Cara, I don't find setting the end time for an event as easy as in the IOS6 Calendar; you seem to have to keep tapping the Start time to bring up the End time, if that makes sense. All the best, Mike -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Cara Quinn Sent: 23 September 2013 17:50 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Calendar Issues I'm wondering what exactly people are having trouble with in the new calendar? I do personally have things I'd like to see done a bit differently but depending on what you're after, here are a few tips. When you open the calendar, the day you have selected will automatically be the one shown, so that you can very quickly look through everything you have on that day. the Today button at the bottom moves you to Today immediately, but you can select from the current week (by default) from the days at the top of the screen. YOu can advance by week by doing a three-finger swipe from right to left and move to the previous week by doing a three-finger swipe from left to right. When you have an event at a particular time during the day, you can double-tap on that event and it's details will come up and you can edit some of these as well as bring up the Contact (if any) that invited you, directly, so that you can immediately call / text / FaceTime etc them. . Does any of this help, or is all of this old news? :) Hope you're having a great day and talk with y'all soon!

The app is ten dollars and the layout is a bit odd, but it's easier to manage than the native calendar layout. Also, when you install it, it will ask if it can access your calendar, Say ok and all your appointments will be copied into the VO calendar. Wish I had a better solution, but there you go.

I absolutely cannot stand the compact British English voice. Sounds like Daniel with well I don't know, cinucitis maybe! Lol! But the one compact voice I do like is Irish English. Not really tried the Australian and U.S. English voices yet in compact mode.

So, let's start from sirie: The new and better Sirie voices are not Vocalizer Expressive voices. These are custom voices that Nuance or some other company makes a specially for Apple, I think it's Nuance because Apple always works with them on TTS related stuff. Now, let's move on to VoiceOver: In iOS 6, Apple used the Nuance Vocalizer for automotive version 5.5 platform for it's screen reader and Sirie. Since Nuance stopped supporting and developing Vocalizer for Automotive, and released Vocalizer Expressive, in iOS 7, Apple has swiched to using these voices for VoiceOver. Most of them sound the same as the previous generation of Vocalizer, such as Samantha Premium for example, they just read longer texts better. The Vocalizer Expressive platform contains some new and very expressive voices, but Apple decided to use the ones that wer already available, because they are still offerd with Vocalizer Expressive, or VE for short. Some other facts that thanks to them you can know it's the new Expressive version, are the bad compact voices, a specially Daniel, and the new voices for some languages such as Arabic, they have replaced Maged with Tarik for this language because Nuance doesn't offer Maged any more. Vocalizer Expressive has a Hebrew voice as well, so I hope Apple will add it soon too:) (Smile). Hope now you understand it better..

San Francisco, California - Today Nokia introduced HERE, the first location cloud to deliver the world's best maps and location experiences across multiple screens and operating systems. With the new brand, HERE, Nokia aims to inspire a new generation of location services and devices that make the mobile experience more personally significant for people everywhere. To further extend its location services, Nokia is launching a maps application for iOS under the HERE brand. The new HTML5-based iOS app, also called Here, will arrive in the App Store in the coming weeks and feature offline capabilities, voice-guided walk navigation, and public transport directions. People want great maps, and with HERE we can bring together Nokia's location offering to deliver people a better way to explore, discover and share their world, said Nokia President and CEO Stephen Elop. Additionally, with HERE we can extend our 20 years of location expertise to new devices and operating systems that reach beyond Nokia. As a result, we believe that more people benefit from and contribute to our leading mapping and location service.

I would suggest the fact apple includes VoiceOver means they have adapted the product to be useful to the visually impaired. I suggest this issue should be investigated further, as we already know apple stores have mixed training about this, so its quite possible HMRC might be giving out inaccurate information as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

They leave major functionality problems in their system for 3 months, 6 months, a year, for ever. They just do not care. I have expressed my extreme disatisfaction with that attitude in feedback on their site where you can leave feedback. I was constructive about what I apreciate and to the point about what I do not. I have done it numerous times. I have expressed what is appropriate to direct to accessibility. They have too much of a fan club that will buy any explative thing with the logo on it no matter anything else and they have 70 billion dollars. They see no reason to care about product quality apparently.

RE: itunes alternatikve
Hi Roul, Jailbreak is a term I have not come across before; At first it suggested unlocking the phone, but from this post of yours I now think it might be enabling iPhone to be accessed from sources other than iTunes. Thanks for your help, Regards, Mike -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A. Gallegos Sent: 31 May 2012 11:14 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: itunes alternatikve Hi, if you jailbreak your iPhone, it cannot be serviced. Also, if you jailbreak your iPhone, and call for tech support and mention that it's jailbroken, they probably won't help you. However if you jailbreak your iPhone and ever have to have it serviced, a restore of the software will remove the jailbreak. All that being said, there are 2 apps which come to mind which might fit the bill for you. 1. Filer. This app doesn't require a jailbreak. It allows you to upload files, such as music, documents, or whatever to the iPhone. Then from the app, you can manage or do whatever with these files, i.e. open them in other applications, ETC. If you just tap the music files you upload, you can listen to the music that way. However this isn't the same experience as using the built-in Music app of the iPhone. Basically, everything you upload to Filer will stay in Filer, but no jailbreak is necessary. 2. PWN Tunes. This is a jailbreak only app. Basically when you connect your iPhone to the pc, you can go to sever folders inside it, just like a usb stick. One of these folders is called my music and if you copy music there, you can later listen to it from the iPhone Music player. When you want to remove it, just connect it to the pc again and remove it from that same folder and it will be gone from the music player. Good luck. -- Raul A. Gallegos I'm not 50.

I personally have not looked up or researched whether or not it's a good idea to force a reboot via the power button being pressed multiple times, but on the surface it just seems silly and not safe to me. At least when you do the power button/home button for 12 seconds, it's giving the iOS system a chance to try and do what it can so that files and data are not being accessed while the phone is forced to reboot. This is why it's probably a several second process. Additionally, it could be that it's on purpose so you don't accidentally reboot your phone without meaning to. Lastly, folks, please update the subject lines. smile -- Raul A.

An Apple support person is the one who told me that the home and power buttons simultaneously for 10 to 12 seconds reboots the phone and properly restores the driver stacks. From my timing of both restarts, the reboot takes longer for booting up than the power cycling for booting up. To be precise, the higher level support specialist told me to first turn the iPhone off then on, and once it has come fully on, do the reboot. Sorry, but I trust both of these people over what you are saying on the list. My developer friend is a software engineer. The Apple tech support person was in the higher tier of support.

If system corruption could occur on an iPhone using the other method (which as I've said I'm skeptical about), then it most certainly could occur with the reboot method as well, which does not shut anything down. Crashing your springboard is not a forced collapsing of the iOS platform; the springboard is one part of the iOS architecture. It's the part of iOS from which apps are launched. It does not store any critical user data. I think there are a fair few misconceptions about this topic on list. I don't mean to be argumentative but it is important that people understand them, and that if you have a theory (such as that data corruption could occur) that you make clear that it is just that--a theory. People who are stating this theory have relatively little technical data to back it up--case and point, the forced collapsing of the iOS system statement, which this is not.

My strong recommendation for all iOS users, is to empty their App Switcher daily and perform a power cycle immediately there after. This has kept my iPhone and iPad running smoothly ever since the first stuttering symptoms appeared. In addition, as a system admin I also hold to David's assertion that there is a possible chance of corruption by performing the forced collapsing of the iOS platform resulting from the 5 successive presses of the power key. The iOS device at this time is not expecting this crash and as a result maybe accessing a key string of code, or a significant part of your user data. If this happened at the exact moment you performed the 5 successive presses of the power key, it is conceivable that it might corrupt data. The 12 second or however long it is, press of power and home at the same time, is far more logical and sensible. As it is coded into the iOS as a sort of. I want to reboot this device, prepare for it

RE: Voice Book and philosophy [was Re: tried]
Hi listers, As with so much, preference is surely the key. In the early days of computing in the UK we used completely custom-made wordprocessors, databases etc. As accessibility to mainstream systems improved, we graduated accordingly. I will look at most apps, including Voicebook, to see if it enhances my use of Facebook; if it does, I'll use it gratefully. We should be careful about dismissing assistive technology and guidance; I would never want to say: 'I won't use Anna's book because it has been written for blind users'.

Although I fully embrace using mainstream applications, I'm not going to turn a back on an application or a device that makes my life easier or more convenient just because it was written with accessibility in mind. What are our alternatives here? Use inadequate, hard to use or inaccessible applications while we're working with Facebook to make their sites and apps more accessible? I'm not a big fan of the phrase blind ghetto when referring to devices and applications for the blind. I wouldn't have been employed and independent for the last 30 years without tools like the Braille 'n' Speak, JAWS, a refreshible braille display, Home Page Reader and so on. Furthermore, I think these devices, and the experiences blind people have with them, do as much to promote accessibility in mainstream products as their existence might seem to hinder. Bottom line for me, is that I'm going to use all of the tools available to me to get done what I need or want to do. I won't look down at my nose on any blind person who feels differently though.

Anyway, what this means is that when you go to restore, it will restore from the last backup taken when you were running the downgraded firmware.
