Seighar mentioned a very important issue that I forgot to bring up. If you are going out for any length of time, say more than a couple of hours, turn your Wi-Fi off. It can use a lot of energy searching for nonexistent or unwanted Wi-Fi. Telephone: (614)633-0376 Skype: sseric57 On May

So far as I can tell, the only way to check the time to reminder was set for is to double top on the reminder without the checkmark. What I do is put the time as part of the reminder text. Telephone: (614)633-0376 Skype: sseric57 On May 22, 2012, at 9:18 PM, Sarai Bucciarelli

Did you try going into bluetooth on the phone and removing the device. Now, pair again. If you have other devices showing that you do not require, you might try removing those, too. Maybe even remove everything so that the Bose shows first. Eric -- You received this message because you are

I would like to point out there is no mention in Settings of a Premium voice. You either have Compact voice on or off. It is misleading to talk about voices in any other way, even if in practical terms that is the meaning. Here is where I am confused. When I look at my settings, I see Use Compact
