Re: Opinion on alva bc 640 with feature pack and iPhone.

2012-07-24 Thread David Chittenden
Hello,

This message is being typed with an Alva BC640 with feature pack. The latest 
firmware upgrade for the BC640 makes it compatible with the iOS 5.0 or higher.

It is necessary to turn the Alva on before you wake up the iOS device. Also, I 
find that the bluetooth connection can be a little bit more finicky than with 
the Refreshabraille.

One thing my Refreshabraille does that my Alva does not do (nor did a focus 40 
blue I tested), is that when paired, my Refreshabraille will connect to my 
iPhone even when my iPhone is already active when I activate my 
Refreshabraille. Unfortunately, my Refreshabraille is having some complication 
with the routing and panning buttons, so I will soon be sending it in for 
repairs.

I hope to soon test my iPhone with a EuroBraille.

Hello.
If I may ask, where can one obtain the latest firmware for the BC640?
I have googled for it with no result, but may well have used the wrong
terms.
Thanks.

Hello, Aedan and all.
I apologise, I was not specific enough in my last message. Besides
googling, I also searched the manufacturer's site without result. Though I
found the drivers, I did not find any firmware. I would be most grateful for
a link to the download page.
Thank you for the attempt to help.
