Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

In light of our recent discussion of the fingerprint recognition on the iPhone I have something interesting to report. I've been doing some very unscientific testing with my iPhone 6 and have found the following. When attempting to unlock the phone with my fingerprint, if I press the lock button

Hi! I don't have problems like that with my 6S Plus. It is unlocking all the time and the errors appear only if I don't put my finger to cover the whole sensor. Regarding the article mentioned in his thread, it is from 2013. with the actual 5S fingerprint sensor and

Re: gps

I believe that BlindSquare can be used with a Braille display. When it is set to output to a display, any messages which would have been spoken will appear on the display. I don't recall how to do this but perhaps someone else knows. Wayne On 2/4/16, Paul Richard McGann

It has been leaked in some news articles that in iOS 9.3 a user will be able to use their Touch ID to secure their notes. Unfortunately, that is not yet the case. And, before anyone jumps on me for revealing beta information, this has been widely reported by several major tech sites/publications

RE: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

Hi Kimber, I think it may have to do how you press the home button. Especially on the new phones, the 6S and 6S Plus, Touch Id is so incredibly fast and reliable that all you have to do is press down the home button with the finger you scanned and by the time you let go it's usually enough

RE: New post published iPhone 7 with no headphone jack at all?

I am not necessarily saying it’s a good thing. Just as you, I can’t speak from the perspective of somebody who is hearing impaired and if there are major drawbacks then it’s not a good thing. Unfortunately a lot of sources and Podcasters who do iPhone related Podcasts seem to think that it is

Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

I agree, the 6S is super fast at recognizing a fingerprint. It is so fast that if I don't want the phone to unlock, I have to use another finger to push the home button. Yes, sometimes I just want to look at the new notifications without unlocking the phone. It is much faster recognition

Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

Kimmer, Place the finger you use for Touch ID on the home button. Press the home button but leave your finger there. In theory, the phone will unlock and you will be placed on your home screen or wherever you last left it. What you mentioned before about pressing the power/lock button while a

Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

Yes, it does. What I was trying to say is that I have more luck with my print being recognized if I press the power button than if I press the home button. I hope that's clearer. On 2/4/16, Alan Paganelli wrote: > Ok, if my 5s is locked, I still need to press the

Ok, if my 5s is locked, I still need to press the power button but that's a quick press. When the phone opens then I need to touch the sensor to unlock my phone. Alternitivly I can use the on screen key pad to type in my 4 character pass word but why bother. Now if my finger is sticky or

I'm not quite sure I understand what your doing. All I need to do on my 5s when my phone is turned on is to place my index finger on the home button. No pressing it, no moving my finger around. I just hold my finger on the sensor and it only takes a second or so to read it. My index finger

Using the reasoning to make the device thinner by leaving out the 3.5mm jack are nonsense. Check the specs of an iPod Touch or even better an iPod Nano. The latter is a bit over 4mm thick and it has a 3.5mm jack. Another good example where Apple is doing something they think is a good thing and

Re: New post published iPhone 7 with no headphone jack at all?

I also think it is a trash idea, as the 3.5 jack is just so universal. it can not only be used for headphones, but can also be used to connect an iPhone to powered speakers, and any hi-fi or portable stereo with a line-in/aux input, or even a mixer desk. for iPhone musicians, this is even worse
