Re: couple of IPhone questions if I may!
Left, right arrows, turns on, then off, quick nav. This is not my problem. As I wrote, I believe the problem is a setting on the Iphone, because, on a second Iphone, the magic keyboard works. I use same keystrokes on both devices, this should rule me out as the culprit..smile. Still need to know which setting to change? is it a VO language setting, is it a matter of removing spare unwanted languages, but why is the language change being triggered? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

RE: Chrome Cast [was "Re: A couple of iPhone questions"]
All the information is on the Sonos website. It’s basically exactly identical to a Play 1 but it has the microphones which allow you to speak to it after you have set up Amazon Alexa. You first have to figure out if Amazon Alexa is available which I am pretty sure it is not officially and if you can get around this and use it anyways. I know here in Canada people do use it even though even here it is not yet officially available. Apparently it might be coming soon here, but who knows. At some point during 2018 Sonos will add/enable the Google Assistant as well and this might be more widely available, it is already here in Canada even though Google came out way later with it than Amazon did with the Echo/Alexa. In the US the Sonos 1 costs the same as a Play 1 and I assume it may replace the Play 1 (if you don’t want voice assistants you just don’t have to set it up) so that is $199 USD. Here in Canada it is available now (as of October 24) and it costs $249 here which is pretty much the exchange rate difference which currently is about $1.20 CAD for 1 USD, multiply $200 by $1.20 and you get $240 so it’s pretty close.

Re: Chrome Cast [was "Re: A couple of iPhone questions"]
Exactly so, Sieghard.. In my case, I have some excellent equipment, although it is certainly not new, including two really good pair of floorstanding speakers which offer me outstanding sound with the power amps that I still have. I have not heard Sonos speakers. But I have yet to hear any smaller speaker that comes close to the output and Fidelity I can get from my floorstanding speakers and associated equipment. Maybe if we move in a few years to a smaller place, where space is a much bigger deal than it is for us right now, I will revisit the issue. I admit to being intrigued by what the HomePods are going to offer, as well as what the new Google Home Max speaker might offer. I'm thinking of adjusting their output to room acoustics, something my old stuff certainly cannot do. I'm really not all that excited about voice assistant speakers yet. We do have an echo, we got it when it was first available as part of a beta thing. It's sound is not good. But it stands in the kitchen and has some uses, such as hands-free timer setting, getting recipes, the weather forecast and other things that don't demand good Fidelity. I guess I'm just not into the assistant thing.

RE: Chrome Cast [was "Re: A couple of iPhone questions"]
Certainly true, but it depends on what you want to accomplish, whether you have 2 or 3 stereos kicking around (I guess you could buy a bunch of powered computer speakers), how much convenience you want and ultimately what your budget allows. If you have two systems you really like then the Chromecast method is worth considering and may work perfectly well for you. If you want to upgrade to something more modern, something which is expandable and now with the Sonos 1 speaker something which gives you access to several voice assistants (when they are done with what they are doing) then Sonos is still the system of choice in my opinion. With Sonos you also don’t use your phone’s resources, you simply use the phone and Sonos app as a remote control. You get access to just about every music service there is including Apple Music and the sound quality is awesome. The new Sonos 1 speaker is available now and fully supports Alexa, the Google Assistant will be added I think in early 2018 and I assume they will also integrate Cortana since Microsoft certainly is going the third-party route. SIRI will take longer, but it is my guess that in 2 to 5 years SIRI will also be available and with the software updates Sonos releases your speakers are very future proof. A lot of my equipment is now 8 years old and it is still fully supported with all updates and features, of course the voice assistants will not work here because they require a speaker with microphones and this is simply a hardware constraint. I also assume that the Sonos 1 is just the start and that a Sonos 3 and Sonos 5 or whatever they will be called are following to give customers the full choice of speaker quality and still include voice assistants. In some cases I have bought new technology when it comes out, but I’m glad I was reluctant to jump onto the smart speaker train because I’d kick myself if I had bought a Amazon Echo and/or Google Home speaker where now I can buy a Sonos 1 which can do them all. The Sonos 1 by the way also supports Airplay 2 so even if you already have a bunch of older equipment adding one of them allows you to Airplay to any of your Sonos speakers since that is how Sonos works.

Re: Chrome Cast [was "Re: A couple of iPhone questions"]
Hi Fanus, The Chromecast audio does require AC power connection. You configure it in the google Home app. You can have a configuration for each Chromecast- connected device, such as two stereos. So you can send your audio to one, the other one, or both, by setting up a home group. Configuring is totally accessible.

Re: Chrome Cast [was "Re: A couple of iPhone questions"]
OK, I think I've understood all I need to regarding how people can make the ChromeCast work, and that has helped me to realise that I may havfe left my mirroring on! Well, perhaps I'm OK because they were only interested in the music. I was thinking it would deal with other file types as well as films. Now I'm racing into the 21st Century, realising I'm a bit late!

I still have it because I have old airport expresses. But they are really old I mean really old, and they don't make more. The good thing about casting audio is that, once you have made the connection, the phone isn't doing the work anymore. You can still skip songs etc. on the phone, but the phone isn't losing as much battery as it would otherwise. At least that's been my experience. Chromecast audio versus air play through the same stereo with the same phone. And if you happen to have two stereos, you can use one chrome cast to set up a group and play all of your music through both at the same time, that's giving you music on two separate floors or throughout the house or whatever. Again, it's just puts lots of new life into older equipment and makes it totally unnecessary to spend hundreds and hundreds if you want this kind of set up. .

Hello Sieghard Thanks for the explanation. I did a google search to find out more and there I learned that one gets a Chrome cast HDMI for vidio but also an Audio Chrome cast. I wonder why do they have two products instead of doing one for all purposes.

The Chromecast don't have any memory, they are strictly streaming devices but as Christopher pointed out, they work differewntly from Airplay, for example, since once you start streaming via your Chromecast it takes over that stream. For example, if you have a regular Chromecast or a 4K capable Chromecast Ultra connected to your TV and you have Netflix on your iPhone, you can pick a movie or show in the app on your phone, send it to the Chromecast and at that point the Chromecast which is of course connected to your WiFi streams the content and you could actually completely turn off your iPhone and the movie would still continue to play/stream.

Re: A couple of iPhone questions
In the calendar you can go and set alarms to notify you at a time such as two hours before the appointment. If you are getting siri to put appointments in the calendar, you still have to go back in the calendar and set up the alarms to remind you. Hope that helps.

a couple basic iPhone questions
Hi, I've had my iPhone 4 for about 9 months; getting the hang of it, albeit slower than I'd expected on some things. I have a couple basic questions: 1. Seems like I end up turning the volume down so that VoiceOver isn't blaring when I'm around other people, but then I find I miss hearing my phone ring. Is this normal behavior that the volume of the ringer and VoiceOver are tied? What do you do to not have the volume super loud, but not miss phone ringers. (My phone is often near me or on a desk/counter, not on me where I would feel the vibrate.) 2. I'm used to standard speech software where you can start a read-to-end function from wherever you are in an email. So, if I right flick through some initial lines of text to get past the clutter at the top an of email or webpage, I would like to start a read to end function from that new point, gut it seems the the 2 finger flick up always starts me back reading at the top? Is this correct? Any advice on ways to jump past the initial clutter or pick up where you left off with a read-to-end? 3. I get the Access World monthly newsletter. I've started reading the articles on my phone using Safari. Kind of building off the last question, i try to navigate to the article and seems like I have to wade through a bunch of stuff at the top of the web page first. And, while I hear a jump to article link on the page that works on my desktop PC with Window Eyes, I can't get that link to work and/or be able to start a read-to-end function. Any advice here from others who read this newsletter -- just as a specific example to help me learn to navigate more efficiently? Thank you!

Re: a couple basic iPhone questions
Hi. It sounds like you've got your volume buttons set to change the volume of the ringer and alerts. You can change this by going into settings, then sounds, and telling the phone to not use the volume buttons to adjust the ringer/alert volume. there's an adjustable slider there where you can set the volume of the ringer. Once you set this level, it will stay the same once you've set the phone to not change the volume using the volume buttons.

I have a couple basic questions: 1. Seems like I end up turning the volume down so that VoiceOver isn't blaring when I'm around other people, but then I find I miss hearing my phone ring. Is this normal behavior that the volume of the ringer and VoiceOver are tied? What do you do to not have the volume super loud, but not miss phone ringers. (My phone is often near me or on a desk/counter, not on me where I would feel the vibrate.) 2. I'm used to standard speech software where you can start a read-to-end function from wherever you are in an email. So, if I right flick through some initial lines of text to get past the clutter at the top an of email or webpage, I would like to start a read to end function from that new point, gut it seems the the 2 finger flick up always starts me back reading at the top? Is this correct? Any advice on ways to jump past the initial clutter or pick up where you left off with a read-to-end? 3. I get the Access World monthly newsletter. I've started reading the articles on my phone using Safari. Kind of building off the last question, i try to navigate to the article and seems like I have to wade through a bunch of stuff at the top of the web page first. And, while I hear a jump to article link on the page that works on my desktop PC with Window Eyes, I can't get that link to work and/or be able to start a read-to-end function. Any advice here from others who read this newsletter -- just as a specific example to help me learn to navigate more efficiently? Thank you!

Re: a couple basic iPhone questions
In this case, you can set the ringer to one hundred percent. That way, you can be listening to music at a soft leval but when a phone call comes in the volume would be at that full volume you set it at. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

It sounds like you've got your volume buttons set to change the volume of the ringer and alerts. You can change this by going into settings, then sounds, and telling the phone to not use the volume buttons to adjust the ringer/alert volume. there's an adjustable slider there where you can set the volume of the ringer.
