Re: Best PDF reader?
Hello Brian, Todd, Isaac, and Others, I am extremely puzzled by Isaac's recommendation of the sReader app as a PDF reader because, according to the reviewer who posted an entry at AppleVis for this app, while sReader supports reading ePub, PDF, and TXT file formats, the reading of PDFs and TXT files is not accessible with VoiceOver. He is using sReader to read ePub files in place of iBooks because he wants to avoid the annoying pause for the page turn graphic at the end of each page, and also because he wanted a reader that would stop at the end of each chapter (in the case of falling asleep while reading at night, to make it easier to find ones place). Here is the link to the AppleVis directory entry for sReader by Sof: http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/books/sreader There is a link under the Comments section to a Google translation of a detailed review that he wrote of this review in French. In paragraph 10 of that translated review Sof states, SReader is able to read PDF and TXT files, but Reading them does not seem to be accessible with VoiceOver. HTH.

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.

Re: Mighty boom Buster speaker ball!
HI. interesting product. thanks Maria and Joe Chapman bubbygirl1...@gmail.com On 12 Dec 2013, at 1:54 am, Sandratomkins sandratomk...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, I've just received, through the post, something I ordered last week. Now, I must be honest, I have only played with it for half an hour or so, but, considering the price, the size, the portability, this is a brilliant little toy! So, what is it? Basically, it is a small plastic ball measuring approximately an inch and a half in diameter. One half of the ball unscrews and shows a sticky rubberised pad. This sticky pad can be attached to, virtually, any surface. The ball is connected via cable directly to your iPhone. There is a small battery case for two I think they are called penlight batteries but will check on that later halfway along this cable. Also, when I say iPhone, this device will work with any sound output device that has an ear plug Jack so, a nano and iPod and iPad or any of the android devices. What it does: it uses the structure of the body to which you have attached it as a speaker. Thus, when I stick it to my large fridge I get a good big sound with a reasonable degree of base! Wooden cupboards are, of course, very good too! You can create different kinds of sound using different items, for example, a tin might get you more high-pitched frequencies. I was thinking, this might be useful for people with hearing difficulties who prefer different frequencies. It is, of course, a sort of toy! But it actually works! I think it cost about €12, but don't quote me on that. This is something you can put in a pocket attached to the key ring or put in your bag and you could easily forget that you've got it. But you do have to remember to keep the cables and batteries with it. I shall play some more, but I was thinking it a worthwhile thing to mention here especially with Christmas coming up! It may be that there are Bluetooth versions of these which would make it even more portable! But as it stands I'm very glad have bought this one for now. Below is the first scan I have taken from the small bit of documentation that came with the device. Maybe it will whet your appetite?

RE: Bard wishlist problem plus transfering to Bard app with dropbox: was: Re: Bard Mobile

I found the response time to be a bit longer from the time you play a note to the time it is spoken, especially below middle C. This probably isn't as much of a problem on a guitar, as on a 40 string harp. It's a huge improvement from the last update, and I'm so happy to have this app working again!

Re: Best PDF reader?
What about Voice Dream reader?

He is using sReader to read ePub files in place of iBooks because he wants to avoid the annoying pause for the page turn graphic at the end of each page, and also because he wanted a reader that would stop at the end of each chapter (in the case of falling asleep while reading at night, to make it easier to find ones place). Here is the link to the AppleVis directory entry for sReader by Sof: http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/books/sreader There is a link under the Comments section to a Google translation of a detailed review that he wrote of this review in French.

Maps iconMany urbanites and city dwellers get about by walking, the
oldest form of transportation in existence. If you’re one of us who
often gets about a concrete jungle by propelling your legs in a
forwardly direction, you’ll be pleased to know that the popular
mapping applications in iOS have you covered. Both the default Maps
app from Apple and Google Maps offer walking directions, though using
each is slightly different.
Set Walking Directions as Default in Apple Maps for iOS
Notice this is “set” walking directions, because with Apple Maps you
can set the default direction choice to be walking, which is excellent
if you spend most of your time in a walkable downtown region.
1. Open the “Settings” app and choose “Maps”
2. Scroll down to “Preferred Directions” and tap on “Walking” to set
foot traffic as your new default preference
3. Exit out of Settings and go back to the Maps app for changes to
take effect
Walking directions on the iPhone
Directions will now be provided with a preference by foot travel, and
it’s usually pretty good, providing sidewalk shortcuts and foot/bike
overpasses when possible. For the most part, this is really best for a
city, and it’s a largely fruitless endeavor beyond the obvious for
smaller towns, which often set the walking directions as the same as
driving directions.
This can also be useful to toggle on for those visiting a downtown
region for the day, say if you have a car parked in a garage and have
spent the day walking around, since it can make the pin drop
find-your-car trick
http://osxdaily.com/2013/08/20/use-iphone-find-where-car-parked/
more appropriate for getting back to the car by foot.DRUDGE SIREN
Get Walking Directions in Google Maps for iOS
Google Maps handles walking directions a bit different than Apple
Maps, with no general default setting other than what you last used.
This means if you last looked for driving directions, that will be
your default, or if you last used walking, then foot travel would be
the default. Anyway, using Google for walking directions is super simple:
1. Open Google Maps and search for a destination, or tap and hold to
drop a pin
2. Tap the walking guy icon at the top of the screen to toggle
walking directions on
3. Now tap the desired route from the list to draw walking directions
on the map
Walking directions in Google Maps
Google Maps seems to have more walking data than Apple Maps, and
you’ll sometimes get slightly different and often better walking
directions for some locations, particularly smaller cities. Google
also lets you drop a destination into the middle of nowhere, meaning
no where near a road at all, and it will try it’s best to give you
walking directions to get there – which can mean travel through parks,
trails, walkways, and other corridors that may be otherwise not quite
obvious.
Even for driving I generally recommend having both Google Maps and
Apple Maps installed on iPhones, since adding Google Maps doesn’t take
up much space, and, let’s face it, it’s still more accurate for many
places anyway. The accuracy gap is shrinking, but urban folks will
still often be better served by Google Maps, and thus it really does
deserve a place on the iPhone of anyone who plans on spending a lot of
time walking about in a city, even if it’s just for vacation. Another
helpful trick is to remember that many city streets are laid out on a
grid, sometimes in obvious north/south/east/west fashion, which can
makes reorienting the maps to be pointing north
http://osxdaily.com/2012/10/10/reorient-maps-to-run-north-south-again-in-ios/
particularly helpful when walking around.

Jambox question
I bought the small Jambox about two years ago on sale. Now I have a problem with it and need input from other Jambox users before I decide how to deal with this issue. On the surface, it seems that the battery won't hold a charge because the sound is extremely fuzzy even immediately after a full charge. Also, the battery dies quickly and becomes completely non functional. So now for the question. Since the battery is not user replaceable, I need to ascertain whether the problem is the battery or the Jambox itself. So if others have experienced similar Jambox problems, please tell me if the problem is battery related or not. If it is, then I will take the thing down to batteries plus. Thanks much.

RE: temperature App
Hi Cathy, Did you see my post about the Netatmo Weather Station? It will do what you want, but you do have to buy the weather station for $180. There are a ton of weather apps which tell you the outside temperature at the nearest government weather station to you, but for indoor temperature you first need something to measure the temperature since the iPhone itself is not a thermometer. If you look for my message yesterday or find the link for the archives in the footer and then search for Netatmo you will find all my previous messages about it, it's an easy search since Netatmo is a completely unique word, it's not like Bluetooth headset or mini keyboard.

RE: Jambox Demo Mode
Hi Steve and Eric, Interesting enough Steve, this does seem to be correct. I am wondering what they call it in the manual, I searched the PDF manual for the word demo and it came up with no hits. I just tried this on mine and it does play some music, a few effects and announces an incoming phone call, the entire thing takes about 10 seconds. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 6:57 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Jambox Demo Mode Eric, I looked at their PDF manual.

Re: Jambox question
I don't have a fuzzy sound nor his, so much as a fluttering his? My jam box does still keep a charge rather well. I did recently have my son try downloading an update. This is after almost 2 years of having the jam box. What ever the update was, it does not seem to have made any difference in performance. I must say the hiss is mostly noticeable only when using voice over. If I am listening to music or radio feeds, it does not seem to be there or is not noticeable. On Dec 12, 2013, at 11:13 AM, Donald L. Roberts donald.robert...@gmail.com wrote: I bought the small Jambox about two years ago on sale. Now I have a problem with it and need input from other Jambox users before I decide how to deal with this issue. On the surface, it seems that the battery won't hold a charge because the sound is extremely fuzzy even immediately after a full charge. Also, the battery dies quickly and becomes completely non functional. So now for the question. Since the battery is not user replaceable, I need to ascertain whether the problem is the battery or the Jambox itself. So if others have experienced similar Jambox problems, please tell me if the problem is battery related or not. If it is, then I will take the thing down to batteries plus. Thanks much.

This time I just left it open and and after a couple of minutes I got an alert that said the request had timed out. This may or may not happen to you. Remember the book has to do more than just be in the app; it has to be authorized which means the server is being contacted if I understand correctly. 7. Go out of the app. I didn't remove it from the app switcher; I just pressed the home button on my phone and then pressed the home button twice to get back into the app switcher and found the bard mobile app and double tapped on it.

Re: Fleksy Alternatives for pre-iOS 7 Users?
Lucian, Christopher, thanks for following up on the discussion. I understand your concerns and agree that the switch to iOS 7 did not go as planned. The unexpected time bomb bug forced our hand before we could incorporate iOS 6 support for our brand new engine or even communicate the change appropriately. There is, however, reason why our keyboard service is at this time compatible only with iOS 7. As of today, Fleksy is available as a keyboard option for third party apps. This means that Fleksy can be integrated at the application-level of any iOS app. Any developer can incorporate Fleksy into their app, giving their users the choice to type with Fleksy. We were able to develop the SDK because of the tools iOS 7 introduced. However, since last week we made progress in porting the new engine to iOS 6 and have built alpha versions since. Pending a few crashes, we will be submitting an update for Fleksy to restore functionality for iOS 6 as soon as possible. Once again, thank you fore your patience and understanding! - Bill from the Fleksy team Read more about our Fleksy SDK and the 4 apps that offer Fleksy as their keyboard right now at http://fleksy.com/blog/android-cant-have-all-the-fun-fleksy-comes-to-ios/ On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 7:35 PM, Christopher Chaltain chalt...@gmail.comwrote: I'm not sure Fleksy is leaving that many people behind. The vast majority of people have moved up to IOS 7. I think the people with a real beef are those iPhone 3 users who can't move up to IOS 7 at all. Fleksy is by no means the only app that predates IOS 7 which is now only supported on IOS 7. Obviously, a developer would have to spend testing resources on IOS 6 and IOS 7 if they're going to continue to support both levels of the operating system. This cost alone may keep a small company from supporting both operating systems. It's also my understanding that Apple changes API's from version to version, so it's not a given that there's no work involved in supporting both IOS 6 and IOS 7. Apple did take a beating when they rolled out IOS 7 updates automatically to people whether they upgraded or wanted to upgrade or not, so I'm sure they'd take a beating in the scenario you described below. This doesn't mean it isn't a good business idea for Apple to keep moving people up and for developers to assume everyone is on the latest. This model has obviously been wildly successful for Apple, and there's a lot of benefits for Apple, developers and users to all be on the latest and greatest software. On 12/11/2013 12:48 AM, Lucian Fratila wrote: Honestly I can't think of any other app that with no prior notice pulled support from a large chunk of its users (those on iOS 6 in this case). Yes I have an iPhone 4 and no, I don't want to upgrade to 7 for an obvious variety of reasons - and most certainly not because an app forces me to. What I find absolutely mind-boggling is that we're talking here about an offline app, that worked very well thank you on iOS 6 before. Yes, I did contact Fleksy support and they simply told me that Fleksy version 1.9 (the last iOS 6 working version) is not supported anymore. As if they had to! Yes, there are apps that only work on iOS 7 these days. But they either started on iOS 7, or they have a backend that no longer supports the iOS 6 version. As far as I understand, the technology behind Fleksy is built-in inside the app and does not require online presence (heck, if a typing app requires you to be connected to their servers, then something is fishy big time). So in short I find no excusable justification to what Fleksy did. They're lucky their service is not high profile and they don't affect a real lot of paying users. Just think the backlash that, say, Apple would get if suddenly iTunes would no longer start on OS X pre-Mavericks, and would give you no option but to upgrade, even on a 2007 laptop. Luckily for them Fleksy is no Apple. But at this rate, I don't see them even turning profitable. What a shame when it's not the technology that buries you, but poor customer support. /end of rant -- Christopher (CJ) chaltain at Gmail -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

What then. If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.' Scrooge hung his head to hear his own words quoted by the Spirit, and was overcome with penitence and grief. - A Christmas Carol, 1843, Charles Dickens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: TapTapSee
Hello Melanie, If you have the latest version of TapTapSee then you will find a Credit Counter in the About Menu. The menu is located in the top right corner of the home screen. If you do not find the counter then update to the latest version of TapTapSee in the App Store.

RE: 911
Hi Tom, You cannot dial 911 using SIRI, but you can definitely dial it using the keyboard. My guess is that maybe in the excitement your friend simply dialed wrong. The only other option would be for your friend to get an app like Call 911, one I checked out once and which was accessible was by a developer called Tobias Werner.

HI. interesting product. thanks Maria and Joe Chapman bubbygirl1...@gmail.com On 12 Dec 2013, at 1:54 am, Sandratomkins sandratomk...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, I've just received, through the post, something I ordered last week. Now, I must be honest, I have only played with it for half an hour or so, but, considering the price, the size, the portability, this is a brilliant little toy! So, what is it? Basically, it is a small plastic ball measuring approximately an inch and a half in diameter. One half of the ball unscrews and shows a sticky rubberised pad. This sticky pad can be attached to, virtually, any surface. The ball is connected via cable directly to your iPhone. There is a small battery case for two I think they are called penlight batteries but will check on that later halfway along this cable. Also, when I say iPhone, this device will work with any sound output device that has an ear plug Jack so, a nano and iPod and iPad or any of the android devices. What it does: it uses the structure of the body to which you have attached it as a speaker. Thus, when I stick it to my large fridge I get a good big sound with a reasonable degree of base! Wooden cupboards are, of course, very good too! You can create different kinds of sound using different items, for example, a tin might get you more high-pitched frequencies. I was thinking, this might be useful for people with hearing difficulties who prefer different frequencies. It is, of course, a sort of toy! But it actually works! I think it cost about €12, but don't quote me on that. This is something you can put in a pocket attached to the key ring or put in your bag and you could easily forget that you've got it. But you do have to remember to keep the cables and batteries with it. I shall play some more, but I was thinking it a worthwhile thing to mention here especially with Christmas coming up! It may be that there are Bluetooth versions of these which would make it even more portable! But as it stands I'm very glad have bought this one for now. Below is the first scan I have taken from the small bit of documentation that came with the device. Maybe it will whet your appetite?

Re: IPhone voices
There are potentially two places to check. First, Settings - General - Accessibility - Voice Over On and look for the Use compact voice setting. This should be toggled to off if you want to use the high quality voices. Also, continue on into Languages and Dialects and double tap on your default dialect. At the bottom, you'll want to make sure Enhanced quality is set to on. This will download the enhanced quality voice if it needs to.

Re: Apex staying paired with IPad and IPhoneBluetooth and
I find that turning off the iOS device, then turning it back on, lets me try again. This is especially true if you are getting cannot load driver errors when you try to pair.

But, first, you need to tell the iPad to “forget this device.” You can then attempt to pair and if you still hear the iPad tell you that search is dimmed, you probably will need to turn off BlueTooth in both the iPad, as well as the Apex and reboot both devices and start the entire pairing process again. Unfortunately, you don’t have much time to enter the and then quickly find the pair button. Sometimes I have been lucky and have paired very quickly; however, the first time I paired my Apex with an iPhone, it took me about an hour to do it.

Re: Which speakers are better
Yes, I have both the Bose and the large Jambox. I did a comparison a couple years ago. The Bose reproduces slightly better low end bass, but there isn't a significant difference. Frankly, what difference there might be can be addressed by using a different sound equalization with the Jambox. From a usability standpoint, the Jambox is just much better. It is extremely useable with Voice Feedback for mode, battery, etc. It has the ability to be used as a speakerphone or to interact with Siri which the Bose does not. If we're listening to music in the hot tub, the Jambox will allow us to ask for a specific song or atist or answer the phone. Finally, I haven't had the pairing fights with Jambox that the Bose speaker used to give me. The Bose has acted a bit better after their software update, but still no comparison to the ease of using the Jambox. The only bad thing about the Jambox, (but when I updated the Bose it was similarly annoying) is that the update software is not real accessible. I had to use the Jaws OCR feature to be able to run the updater.

RE: Fleksy Alternatives for pre-iOS 7 Users?
Bill, thanks so much for providing this information. I am still optimistic I'll get Fleksy back on my iOS 6.1.4 iPhone 5 but it is very nice to know what was driving your decision to move to iOS 7. The ability for third-party apps to integrate the Fleksy keyboard into their app so that users can type with Fleksy is a wonderful feature. If I'm reading my list posts correctly, it sounds as if BlindSquare has already integrated Fleksy. I look forward to your updates on this issue at least until I decide to upgrade to iOS 7. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bill Rappos Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 11:10 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Fleksy Alternatives for pre-iOS 7 Users? Lucian, Christopher, thanks for following up on the discussion. I understand your concerns and agree that the switch to iOS 7 did not go as planned. The unexpected time bomb bug forced our hand before we could incorporate iOS 6 support for our brand new engine or even communicate the change appropriately. There is, however, reason why our keyboard service is at this time compatible only with iOS 7. As of today, Fleksy is available as a keyboard option for third party apps. This means that Fleksy can be integrated at the application-level of any iOS app. Any developer can incorporate Fleksy into their app, giving their users the choice to type with Fleksy. We were able to develop the SDK because of the tools iOS 7 introduced. However, since last week we made progress in porting the new engine to iOS 6 and have built alpha versions since. Pending a few crashes, we will be submitting an update for Fleksy to restore functionality for iOS 6 as soon as possible. Once again, thank you fore your patience and understanding! - Bill from the Fleksy team Read more about our Fleksy SDK and the 4 apps that offer Fleksy as their keyboard right now at http://fleksy.com/blog/android-cant-have-all-the-fun-fleksy-comes-to-ios/ On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 7:35 PM, Christopher Chaltain chalt...@gmail.com wrote: I'm not sure Fleksy is leaving that many people behind. The vast majority of people have moved up to IOS 7. I think the people with a real beef are those iPhone 3 users who can't move up to IOS 7 at all. Fleksy is by no means the only app that predates IOS 7 which is now only supported on IOS 7. Obviously, a developer would have to spend testing resources on IOS 6 and IOS 7 if they're going to continue to support both levels of the operating system. This cost alone may keep a small company from supporting both operating systems. It's also my understanding that Apple changes API's from version to version, so it's not a given that there's no work involved in supporting both IOS 6 and IOS 7. Apple did take a beating when they rolled out IOS 7 updates automatically to people whether they upgraded or wanted to upgrade or not, so I'm sure they'd take a beating in the scenario you described below. This doesn't mean it isn't a good business idea for Apple to keep moving people up and for developers to assume everyone is on the latest. This model has obviously been wildly successful for Apple, and there's a lot of benefits for Apple, developers and users to all be on the latest and greatest software. On 12/11/2013 12:48 AM, Lucian Fratila wrote: Honestly I can't think of any other app that with no prior notice pulled support from a large chunk of its users (those on iOS 6 in this case). Yes I have an iPhone 4 and no, I don't want to upgrade to 7 for an obvious variety of reasons - and most certainly not because an app forces me to. What I find absolutely mind-boggling is that we're talking here about an offline app, that worked very well thank you on iOS 6 before. Yes, I did contact Fleksy support and they simply told me that Fleksy version 1.9 (the last iOS 6 working version) is not supported anymore. As if they had to! Yes, there are apps that only work on iOS 7 these days. But they either started on iOS 7, or they have a backend that no longer supports the iOS 6 version. As far as I understand, the technology behind Fleksy is built-in inside the app and does not require online presence (heck, if a typing app requires you to be connected to their servers, then something is fishy big time). So in short I find no excusable justification to what Fleksy did. They're lucky their service is not high profile and they don't affect a real lot of paying users. Just think the backlash that, say, Apple would get if suddenly iTunes would no longer start on OS X pre-Mavericks, and would give you no option but to upgrade, even on a 2007 laptop. Luckily for them Fleksy is no Apple. But at this rate, I don't see them even turning profitable. What a shame when it's not the technology that buries you, but poor customer support. /end of rant -- Christopher (CJ) chaltain at Gmail -- You received this message because

Re: Which speakers are better
Hi, how much are these jawbox speakers? I did search on qvc and hsn.com and they are selling there for about $250 to $300. I know you gave a comparison of the Bose and the jambox but are they worth that kind of money? I would love to hear your comments if you will. Thanks, Andy -Original Message- From: Steve Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 5:02 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Which speakers are better Yes, I have both the Bose and the large Jambox. I did a comparison a couple years ago. The Bose reproduces slightly better low end bass, but there isn't a significant difference. Frankly, what difference there might be can be addressed by using a different sound equalization with the Jambox. From a usability standpoint, the Jambox is just much better. It is extremely useable with Voice Feedback for mode, battery, etc. It has the ability to be used as a speakerphone or to interact with Siri which the Bose does not.

jawbones jambox will not stay on and looking for the jambox home page for updating
Hi All, My jambox suddently will not stay on even after I left it charging all night. When trying to turn the unit un[plugged, nothing happens. However, when plugged in, the unit will come briefly and shut off again after a few seconds. I am thinking the battery maybe went bad. But I wanted to update it first. So does anyone have the home page for updating or any other ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

I grew up in a large Italian family that loves to laugh out loud. I mean, really loud! I have one uncle who laughs so loud that it used to scare my childhood friends, until I could explain to them, It's just the way he laughs. This particular uncle was born with a serious disability, but he has lived beyond all of his doctor's expectations. No one expected him to live past 40, but he's in his 80's now and still laughing out loud. My favorite teachers in school were the ones who made me laugh. And I believe I am always eager to learn from my pastor who laces his messages with humor, because the laughter opens my mind and my heart to receive. Proverbs 17:22 says, A merry heart does good, like medicine ... So, take some good medicine today and find a reason to rejoice and be glad!

Re: Which speakers are better
New for around $269 from Amazon. I can' t tell you whether they are worth the money or not.

Voice Dream Reader Cost
Hi, I see Voice Dream Reader costs something like $10. How much do additional voices cost? It didn't say in the app store description. Sorry if I've missed this somewhere. Finally, is Voice Dream Reader going to be significantly better than the twenty-dollar InDAISY I've already got? Thanks in advance.

Re: Voice Dream Reader Cost
The extra voices are between $1.99 and $2.99. I had bought several voices, but now pretty much use Bridget for things I want a high quality British female reader and James for a US Male reader. Of course, you will also have access to the iOS voices for free. I have not used Indaisy so I can't comment. Voice Dream handles text, word documents, pdf and epub plus now MP3 files. Plus, downloads directly from Bookshare or Gutenberg. Accesses Dropbox and even web pages if you have a URL you want to paste in. I used to have the $20 Read 2 go app, but now exclusively use Voice Dream.

RE: jawbones jambox will not stay on and looking for the jambox home page for updating
Hi Dan, What you describe when the Jambox is plugged in is normal behavior. I am not sure why more companies don't make products which can be used as well while they are plugged in, but that's beside the point, if the Jambox is plugged in you can't use it. Now, as for the Jambox not staying on while it's unplugged, have you checked your charging cable and charger? Make sure everything is properly oplugged in and there is power to the outlet you are using. If all that is OK you might want to try a different micro USB cable in case the one you are using is defective. To me it sounds like you plug the Jambox in but it is in fact not charging and the battery is so run down that it doesn't come on or if it does immediately shuts off again.
