Re: Anker Bluetooth Keyboard

RE: updating IOS software
Hi. Could someone please give a step-by-step instructions on how to downgrade to IOS7 -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: 24 September 2014 15:49 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: updating IOS software I downgraded my iPhone to iOS 7.1.2 on Sunday and then did the iOS 8 update again via iTunes. I told it to first only download iOS 8 and not download and install and it relatively quickly told me the download would take 5 hours. Since I had other stuff to do I just let it sit there and it probably did take the full 5 hours, didn't really check, but it did finish downloading eventually and then the update went smoothly.

RE: Key Vibrate
Hi Sieghard Many thanks for your email. I very much appreciate all information given by your goodself. How is a phone jale broken? Once again look forward to hearing. Many thanks and kind regards Mohammed Rashid -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: 09 January 2013 16:47 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Key Vibrate Hi Mohammed, Although there are currently no applications in the App Store which will make your iPhone vibrate as you type on the keyboard, there are a few options available for iPhone users who have done a successful jailbreak on their phones. After a jailbreak, you'll have access to the Cydia application store on your device -- a store of non-Apple approved applications that many users find very useful for enhancing their phone's functionality. In the Cydia store, you will find multiple applications for making your iPhone vibrate as you type, a feature known as haptic feedback. Where did you hear about this app? Was it Applevis? When I did the google search for "Key Vibrate App" the Applevis link to that app came up as well, but it states also that it is a Jailbreak app. Lastly, just as a general comment, keep in mind that if you hear about a particular app you may not find it in your country's App Store as not all apps are available in all countries. I am not sure where you live, but if you are looking for a particular app and can't find it at all it's always a good idea to do a google search for that app or simply ask google "In which countries is the so and so app available". Chances are you will find the information.

Many thanks and kind regards Mohammed Rashid -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of David Chittenden Sent: 27 November 2012 22:21 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: My feelings about a total GPS solution for the blind - Was Re: Navigon on sale today only I use Navigon or TomTom when I require complete directions to a place. Both apps can run in the background when a route is running, so you can also load Ariadne or one of the apps which displays nearby POIs if you wish. I usually just use Ariadne because it has a feature which automatically announces the updated address every 40 seconds or so. This is often all I need now that I have trained myself to navigate via street address rather than cross streets. One of my primary uses is on the bus. I have learned the nearby addresses for the stop I require. When the announced address gets close, I ring the bell and exit at my desired bus stop. In most cases, I no longer need to ask the bus driver for my stop to be announced. I also use Ariadne when looking for an address in an area that is familiar. With Ariadne, I just activate the app and activate the start monitor button. I can even activate Ariadne for a quick check of my current location and then close it again.
