RE: Sonos App Update

2024-05-21 Thread lange85 
Hi Sieghard,

Funny timing indeed! I ran the update just after I saw your message.  After 
looking at a couple of dialogs which I closed, the new app wanted me to do a 
software update for my Sonos speakers, which are the old Sonos 1.  The firmware 
update completed successfully and I’m happy to say that the speakers are back 
in action, and, exploring the screen with VoiceOver seems to work okay. I’ve 
got a lot of exploring to do, but I’ll take my time with that. I’ve got a lot 
of other stuff that I need to do today. I look forward to hearing about how you 
and others out there are faring with the recent update. Thanks.

 

Tom

Funny timing, I was just composing my message about the app update. Depending 
on how adventurous you are I would say you can update now, but there is 
definitely a bit of a learning curve and some experimentation required. It is 
definitely a lot better, though, maybe some others who have updated will post 
their feedback and what they have discovered works and doesn't work.

Hi,

I checked out the app store this morning and found version 80.01.10 of the 
Sonos app is available, and, among other things it’s supposed to have improved 
VoiceOver support. Has anybody tried it yet? Just curious. I’m still running 
the older version prior to the redesign.

Facebook App and Its Web Browser

2024-05-07 Thread lange85 
Hi folks,

While using the Facebook app, I often encounter posts which will direct me
to various web pages which are often riddled with ads.  Needless to say,
this can be a major pain to have to wade through. If the page is exceedingly
large and overrun with ads, things can get hopelessly bogged down and I have
to close the page. I'd much rather use Safari with its Reader View which
strips out the ads and offers a smoother reading experience. Is there a way
to tell  IOS or the Facebook app that I don't want to use Facebook's
internal browser? If so, how can I do that? BTW, I'd rather not use the
Mobile Facebook web site.  Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Tom

RE: Native Mail app focus issues under iOS 13.2

2019-11-01 Thread lange85 
Hi,

The “misspelled Words” item in the rotor is definitely a bug.  Here’s what 
someone at Applevis has to say about it.

 

There are numerous places system-wide where the Misspelled Words item will be 
in the VoiceOver rotor's Action menu where this functionality is not available 
(examples include when viewing a web page in Safari and when reading an email 
in Mail). In some of these it is the default position of the VoiceOver rotor, 
which is a frustrating hit on the user experience - for example when opening a 
webpage in Safari and expecting to be able to immediately flick down to 
navigate by heading.

 

Someone else on this list reported that it also occurs in the NFB Newsline app 
when trying to navigate through newspapers by heading. I can definitely verify 
this, as I experienced it this morning. 

 

Tom

Subject: Re: Native Mail app focus issues under iOS 13.2

 

Hi All,

Alan, I haven't notice your thread issue because I usually open a thread with a 
one finger double tap and read through the messages that way. ⠠⠓⠪⠐⠑⠂ I know 
what you mean when exiting from a message or for me it occurs on a thread of 
messages. When I return to the ⠍⠑⠎⠎⠁⠛⠑ list there is random behavior. Sometimes 
it does focus on the message or thread I have just closed, but at other times 
the focus is at the top or somewhere else on the message list. (Sometimes I 
whimsically wonder if it has something ⠞⠕ do with the way I am holding the 
⠏⠓⠐⠕⠲ :)) It is annoying, and I need to report it also. I was hoping that 13.2 
would fix it, but it hasn't.

The other weird thing that happens for me is that when I am reading through a 
thread message by message, when I turn the rotor ⠞⠕ to go to the "messages" 
setting I always have to pass through "misspelled words." I have looked all 
over to try to get rid of the "misspelled words" in the rotor with no luck. 
Neither "Messages" nor "misspelled words" appear in the rotor list, so I can't 
change their order. I searched in settings for "misspelled words" and couldn't 
find any reference to it. Am I missing something or is this is just a bug?

Thanks for any help!

Take care and have fun!

Hi,

 

This is a bug which I think someone reported, but it doesn’t heart to report as 
well. 

 

I am currently using outlook for iOS and it works just fine here.

Subject: Native Mail app focus issues under iOS 13.2 

 

Hi List,

 

I think this subject might have been previously discussed so I apologize as I 
only upgraded to iOS 13.x on Tuesday of this week.

 

I use the native Mail app for reading my Gmail account emails and I have it set 
to display messages in threaded mode. I'm noticing that when focus is on a 
message group with multiple messages, that when I single finger swipe down and 
select expand to open the list of messages in the group that focus jumps 
several screens up or down rather than leaving me at the top of the opened list 
as it did in iOS 12.4.1. I get similar screen jumps and loss of focus when I 
single finger swipe to contract the opened thread.

 

I'm also noticing that when I open a single email that isn't part of a group, 
that focus isn't on it any longer when I go back to my message list using 
either the back button or the scrub gesture.

 

This loss of focus makes reading emails on my iPhone 8 a royal pain and I'm 
wondering if others are experiencing it. If there is a workaround, I'd love to 
hear it or if this is a known issue, I'd love to know that too. I plan on 
writing Apple Accessibility to report this but I wanted to check with this list 
first before doing that.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

2019-11-01 Thread lange85 
Hi Alan,

I’ve experienced similar issues with the native Mail app since IOS 13 came out. 
 I reported it to Apple Accessibility and they responded, saying that the 
problem couldn’t be reproduced.  I suspect that the guy who handled the 
situation didn’t know what I was talking about and was basically clueless. I’ll 
report it again, as reading mail can be a royal pain because of the focus 
issues.  

 

I also plan to report Braille display issues as well. I had thought that 
Braille behavior had improved with 13.2, but there are still a number of issues 
while using my Braille display, including VO crashing.
