Re: HULU accessible?
The Hulu app on the Amazon fire TV works well with Voice View. The app on the iPhone is very accessible as well.

Appliance App Accessibility
Does anyone have experience with the GE Geneva or Whirlpool app for oven or microwave control? If so what is your opinion of the app? Trying to choose smart appliances for a new house.

Safari Shortcuts not launching
Hi All, After updating a few weeks ago to iOS 13 I noticed that the shortcut buttons in Safari didn’t launch when tapped. I’m referring to the favorites that come up when you tap the address bar to be able to type in a web URL. I hoped that subsequent updates would resolve the issue but am still seeing it after updating to 13.2.2. It’s happening on my iPhone 7 and the odd thing is that my iPad Pro works as expected after the updates. Is anyone else having this issue? I’ve not seen reference to it as a known issue but may have missed it somewhere along the line. Thanks, Todd -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: How to delete apps from my Apple watch?
Hi Ann, You can remove the apps from your watch by going into the Watch app on your phone. From the My Watch tab scroll down until you see the heading ‘Installed on Watch”. Tap each app and you’ll see a setting to ‘Show on Watch”. Simply turn it off and it will remove the app from the watch. You should also check the mail settings, music settings, and photos settings to see how much of each of those are being stored on your watch. Once you adjust these settings it’s a good idea to power cycle the watch and then check the space again.

Re: Lack of new email notification exchange email iOS 13.1.1
I just installed the 13.1.2 update and it seems to have corrected the Exchange account updating issue. I can’t say as it fixes your notification issue since I don’t have notifications turned on for this particular account. You may want to take a look at the notifications for the specific e-mail account in question as each account can have specific notifications. -Todd On Mon, Sep 30, 2019 at 3:01 PM Todd W wrote: > Yes, same exact issue with corporate Exchange account. > > -Todd > > On Sun, Sep 29, 2019 at 2:16 PM Shai wrote: > >> Hello, >> On my iPhone 8 plus running iOS 13.1.1, I have noticed that email is >> not downloading from our corporate exchange server until I open the >> mail app. Once the mail app is opened, I still do not receive a sound >> notification that email has arrived. >> Is anyone else experiencing difficulty with this? >> Thank you in advance for any responses. >> >> -- >> The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone >> list. >> >> If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or >> if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the >> owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. >> >> Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.

Re: Air pods and multi point?
It *is* easy to switch, but not nearly as seamless as devices like the Voyager Legend. It’s purely a matter of what you’re used to. I used to use a Voyager Legend and it switched flawlessly between phone and iPad. I’m one of those who doesn’t want the bluetooth device to autoconnect to the watch, ever, so I removed it from the bluetooth devices on the watch to keep the watch from hijacking the connection. I think the point to the conversation is that Apple’s implementation of multipoint is a bit lacking. -Todd On Mon, Nov 5, 2018 at 10:46 PM Apple Gourmet- wrote: > Once you have paired your AirPods with iPhone, they get connected with > Apple Watch automatically provided it’s synced with the same Apple ID and > running watchOS.

Re: Small Blue Tooth Ear piece
I will echo Sieghard’s recommendation. I have had the AirPods for a few months now and really enjoy them. I used to use a Plantronics Voyager Legend, which worked well but was quite a bit larger. It still fit in my pocket but I did break one that way because it wasn’t protected. The AirPods stay in their charging case which is about the size of a dental floss container and the sound is surprisingly good. Only drawback is that they are around $150, but as seamless as they work and the quality of their build really help justify the extra cost in my opinion.

Watch OS5 and Siri Raise to Speak
Sieghard, Just an update on the thread regarding Siri raise to speak in the new Watch OS... Upon more research I’ve found that the watch must be raised to a vertical position, for the raise to speak to activate properly. Raising the watch face perpendicular to the floor and then speaking seems to work pretty consistently. I’d been trying to use it just by raising my arm and the watch was in a more horizontal position, parallel to the floor which didn’t work well at all.

Re: What's the deal with raise to speak to SIRI and WalkieTalkie in WatchOS 5
I’m still having issues with raise to speak and Siri though. I have the raise to speak setting turned on but it is very inconsistent with results.

Re: IOS 12 and message notifications
Hi Marie, I haven’t seen this problem on iOS 12. I’ve updated my iPhone, iPad, and have another iPad which ran the beta. Double tapping asks me to unlock with TouchID or my pin and goes right into the conversation. You may already have, but if you haven’t, try restarting your phone.

Re: Latency with using Bluetooth earbuds
I can concur with Andy... I’ve used several bluetooth headphones/headsets in the past and definitely a difference between them. Plantronics Legend works very well, and I’ve just purchased Air Pods and they work very well too. There will always be a bit of latency with any bluetooth but definitely less noticeable in some rather than others.

Hi Sieghard, I think I know why we have the discrepencies. I’m using the Honeywell Total Comfort Connect app, not the Honeywell Home app. I didn’t realize there was another app from Honeywell that would control the thermostats. I’ll check it out.

Rotor action changes without intervention
Hi All, I'm wondering if this is a common scnario. It seems like it's been happening since the release of iOS 8, but I can't be certain. Here's what's happening on both my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.3: When either on the lock screen with iMsg or txt message alerts being displayed or in the Messages app, a single finger flick announces the next Action menu item, where you can delete or activate, etc. If I perform a delete and then flick on the next message the rotor selection has moved from Actions to another item, typically headings. It seems to be moving to whatever the next counter clockwise item in the rotor is. This seems to only be happening with Messages and doesn't crop up when deleting other types of notifications. Is this something that others are experiencing? It's beginning to drive me bananas... Thanks, Todd -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: New iPad Air 2
Katey, Sorry I'm coming in on this late but I experienced the same issue with the 3 finger swipe when in horizontal orientation if Zoom is enabled. Trying to scroll through a list of items is impossible but works in portrait orientation.

Re: iPhone 6 Case Recommendations?
I did go ahead and get the Defender for my iPhone 6. The form factor is definitely different than the Defender for the iPhone 5 series. It's much slimmer and sleeker. I like the case design. The issue with the gap between the protecor and screen is *very* annoying though. Tapping and swiping can be quite a chore at times. I'm going to give it a few more days to hopefully break in somewhat but not sure if I can live with the annoyance long term.

Re: There's Something About that 5.5 Screen Size
Have to agree with you Sieghard. I think Apple has the best shot of making large scale mobile payment adoption a reality. Google has had Wallet for several years but it's failed to gain traction. I'm anxious to see how quickly other financial institutions and retailers climb on the ApplePay train. I think once people understand how ApplePay works and how much more secure it will be than using a card it will gain momentum rapidly. I hope five years from now we'll look back and wonder how we ever got along without it.

Also, when you look at usage statistics like web usage of tablets or smartphones iOS clearly dominates. I just think that in many cases you can make statistics say anything and just because /Apple has waited to put out larger phones does not mean they are not innovating. Just look at things like Touch Id, Apple introduced it and shortly after Android phones with fingerprint sensors started showing up. Making a larger device is not innovation, in fact, it's easier to make a larger device with better battery life and potentilally more features like different sensors than it is to make a smaller device. I think Apple has made a pretty strong statement with their new phones and especially with Apple Pay that they are far from done with innovation. We may find in 2 or 3 years that Apple Pay will proof to be a very compelling reason why one should have an iPhone since I fully expect Apple Pay will become common place and that Google may not be as successful in coming up with their version of it.

Coincidentally, three years ago is when the Galaxy Note was released. I think it's hard to deny that Apple is worried about Android and Samsung, and there's a reason they're coming out with a larger phone. The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus are great devices, and I'm sure they will do well. I'm sure a lot of Android users will be trading in their smart phone for an iPhone 6. I'm not sure I believe social media statements though that 45% of Android users will be turning in their phones to get an iPhone. The iPhone 6 may help Apple pick up some of the market share they've lost, but the iPhone 6 may be a game changer for Apple, but it isn't for the industry, so I doubt they're going to make up all of the market share they've lost and then some. I'm not saying Apple is in trouble or that they're going away any time soon. I could also be completely wrong. I just question the statement that Apple is brilliant for realizing three years after the Galaxy Note was released that people wanted bigger screen sizes. IMHO, Samsung seems like the more innovative company here, since they put out the original Note in 2011 when everyone said it was too big and wouldn't be successful.

Joe, When I went back to investigate I found my perception of what was going on was wrong. The increase contrast settings seem to have no effect on the keyboard color. The keyboard that is presented in the app store, however, is a different color (dark background/key color with light colored letters/numbers/symbols) than the standard iOS7 keyboard. The keyboard presented must be specific to the app. Sorry for the confusion/misinformation.

Re: A Facebook App Question Regarding Comments
I think that's something *a lot* of us wonder...how Facebook determines what they show you in your news feed. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, and it seemingly can be different each time you look at it. Can definitely be frustrating at times. Todd On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 4:13 AM, Mária Orovčíková maria.orovcik...@gmail.com wrote: Hello list, I have a few more Facebook questions: 1. In the latest version of Facebook app for IOS, when you tap more button there is something like manage feeds. When I double tap on this, I can select if I want to see friends, pages or groups. When I double tap on pages, there is a list of pages I have liked. However, there are a few pages I do not want to follow or get posts from them, so I have unliked them, but these pages are still showing up in the manage feeds section although I'm not following them and not liking them any more. On the other hand, I have liked some new pages and those are not showing up in the manage feeds section. 2. another thing I would like to know does anyone know why not all posts are showing up on my timeline? To give you an example - I'm a member of several groups and I have set up mail and push notifications, so I know when there is something new in a group, but some posts are not on my Timeline. With groups it is quite fine as I'm notified by e-mail or push, but unfortunately, all the same is happening with pages. As pages don't have notifications feature, I might mis some important post as some posts are not among new feeds which is quite frustrating. I really don't understand what criteria facebook uses to sort and show up posts on the Timeline. To give you one more example - my friend and I have liked one website. It is a TV show website She sometimes gets posts from that website on her timeline which I don't. I know that because she share some posts. Thanks for your help in advance.

Re: WiFi not working on iphone, but does on my laptop.
When you check in Settings - WiFi are you actually connected to your network? If you are it may be that your IP address settings are not correct. In the list of wireless networks flick right on the network in question and double tap on 'More Info'. In this screen you can choose how to obtain the network address the phone uses. DHCP is typically what you want, where the phone gets an address from your router. If it's gotten set to BOOTP or Manual this could be your issue. If, on the other hand, you can't even get connected to the wireless network then there are a number of other things to check, but try the above first.

I just got a Soundfreaq Platform 2 BT speaker, which is stereo, but can be combined with a second Platform for bigger sound. I am wondering if I could find an app that would say power the Soundfreaq and a different brand model. Any recommendations? BTW, this Soundfreaq Platform 2 is pretty nice. It is about 13 X 7 X 5. It has a mini equalizer for choices of high, normal and low treble sounds and digital separation. It does have a lot of base, and might be just a bit muffled base for those true audiophiles, but is certainly tolerable to my normal ear. It can be incredibly loud without distortion. It has two USB ports for charging cords and 3.5mm auxiliary input. The basic model does not include a rechargeable battery, but I understand you can get one from Soundfreaq for $50. I am not sure the practicality of this as a portable device, especially for beach, camping, etc., as it does not have a handle and does have cloth speaker covering across the front. I paid $120 for this at Target; it was $145 (suggested retail) on Amazon. I have gone through many devices and not been happy with them for one reason or another, but this one seems to fit my needs quite nicely. Thanks for any pointers on the Bluetooth question. My goal is to combine this Soundfreaq with a bookshelf system in a large space so that I have sound at either end of a large, long room. Thanks!

iOS 7.1 - First Impressions
Hi All, Just wanted to share my initial findings about iOS 7.1. I installed it yesterday on my iPhone 5 with no issues. VO came up on reboot just as it should have. I notice three things off the bat that had really annoyed me since the iOS 7.0 upgrade had been fixed. They were: 1) the double screen locked announcement, 2) the issue where when editing text, say in a message or e-mail and you inadvertantly tapped somewhere in the text the cursor would jump to that spot (very frustrating at times!). Prior to iOS 7 when you tapped the edit field VO would read the contents. That's now been restored in 7.1. Lastly, 3) 7.1 fixed a bug that incorrectly announced some e-mail senders as being VIP when in fact they were not. I'm really happy to see these fixes. I have noticed however that now with 7.1 if you have multiple alerts displayed on the lock screen VO still has a hard time determining how many alerts are actually there and will incorrectly announce the number of alerts. It also seems that since the update if I am on the lock screen and multiple alerts are displayed with VO reading them if I hit the power button to turn the display off and lock the screen VO continues to read the alerts . This will be annoying when you want to quickly silence the phone, say when in a meeting. I'd be interested to hear other's findings on the update.

Re: talking to Siri
Ray, You can insert punctuation in your dictation by speaking things like period or comma or ellipsis.

Re: locking orientation
AhhYou're in Settings - Control Center. The only way to access the actual Control Center to my knowledge is the 3 finger swipe up from the Home screen or Lock screen, which I know you said was difficult and can understand your frustration. I would suggest writing to Apple Accessibility to explain the difficulty. It seems there should definitely be another option to get to the orientation lock on the iPhone.

Re: locking orientation
Ray, Glad you were able to get it. You may want to research the Assistive Touch options in the Accessibility settings as well. I've never used it but it appears you can create custom gestures that maybe could be substituted for some of the difficult gestures.

Re: locking orientation
Teresa, You're right. If you tap and hold at the very bottom center of the screen and then one-finger swipe up it does reveal the Control Center.

Best PDF reader?
Hi all, I frequenntly have to access large PDFs. In the native reader, if you move to another app while reading a PDF and then return to the PDF it seems it takes you back to the beginning of the document. This is frustrating when you're in a 600 pade PDF and have to scroll to find where you were. I've also tried the adobe Reader for iOS but it seems to have it's own limitations as well, reading an entire page at a time as opposed to say, a single paragraph on a page. Has anyone had better results with other apps? Thanks, todd -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Accessible Podcast App - What's your Favorite?
Hi All, I'd like to get your opinion on which podcast app works best with VoiceOver. I have been using Casts until they released their new version last week. The new version is a big step backward as far as accessibility is concerned and I need a new podcast manager/player that's more friendly to VoiceOver. The ideal app needs to be able to download or stream podcasts independent of iTunes as I don't sync my phone often. Thanks in advance!

Re: Favorites in Contacts - Very Annoying
Anthony, In the case where the Favorites category is used to bypass the Do Not Disturb settings you must have the different phone numbers defined as Favorites. So in my case, I have two entries in Favorites for my wife, one for her mobile number and one for her work number. That way if I have Do Not Disturb set and she calls from either number it still comes through. With the multiple entries in Favorites and with iOS 6 the explicit phone number was a part of the label for the Favorites list and I could easily call her mobile or work by double-tapping the correct entry in Favorites. I believe this kind of situation is what Tom was referring to in his original post.

VoiceOver no longer identifies whether an entry is for a mobile phone or a land line; all it says is call. That's not exactly helpful. So I have two questions: 1. Is there some sort of visual indicator that tells you whether the favorite is a mobile phone or a land line, and is VoiceOver unable to identify it properly? 2. Is there a setting that I can change to restore the original behavior? Thanks in advance. Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: I cannot get the buttons at the bottom of a Safari window to show up consistently.
Daniel is correct. The button bar disappears as you scroll down the webpage. Another sure-fire way to bring it back is to double-tap the status bar at the top of the screen with one finger to scroll back to the top of the webpage. This reveals the button bar.

VO not reading in message compositionin iOS 7?
Hi All, In earlier iOS versions when composing a message VoiceOver would read the contents of the message box while composing if you brought focus to that field. In iOS 7 it seems to have lost that capability. Is this happening to others or just something quirky on my iPhone5? I predominantly dictate messages and even though it still reads the phrase as it inserts it into the message it won't read the message before you tap the Send button. I always found this very handy when composing a long message or when I got distracted and had to return to the message to finish it.

Re: Calendar Issues
I have to say I do like the new calendar layout better than previous versions. I do, however, miss the List view of events. That view made it much easier to go through appointments 'at a glance' for me. Todd On Mon, Sep 23, 2013 at 12:49 PM, Cara Quinn modelc...@gmail.com wrote: 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. .
