Reviving a Dead Touch

2015-12-21 Thread SSEric
I have a Touch 5 32gb. Has worked just fine for a couple of years. Last night I charged it overnight. I used it for an hour or so this morning to read NFB NewsLine. It sat unplugged and untouched until about 9:30 this evening. It was paired with a bluetooth speaker I use quite a bit. When I tried

I had someone look at the screen. There are icons in the title bar. Choosing the first was for M3U.pls and worked. You can select 384, 192 or 128 BPS. It then opens a player screen. If you have someone get you that far, I guess you could leave Safari on that page and maybe 2-finger double tap to

The Phone App

How far have we come when a phone becomes an option on a phone... Is there a way you can have voice mail always play through the speaker? Also, there is one phone number I receive calls from daily and sometimes multiple times in a day. I don't especially want to delete all recent calls, but I

come up, you can block that number. To do this, go to phone, recent, and find the number you want to block. Once you have done this, swipe right once to options. Within the options you will find a block call option. Choose this and you will be set to go. On 12/17/15, SSEric <sseri...@gmail.com&

Richard mentioned the thumb drives with lightning plugs being expensive. I don't know how these compare or about their accessibility, but there have been wifi drives around for awhile. These create their own wifi network, so several devices can be using them at the same time. Eric -Original

My rechargeable battery has four little lights to indicate charge level. Is there any app I could tell if those are lighted? I would have to move the lens along the row of lights to count how many are on. These are fairly close together, usually. (I actually cannot feel these lights, but on all

What I do is tell Seri to "add to my calendar Lunch with Don". It then prompts me for date and time. However, it names the appointment some odd combinations, such as "lunch with (a Don in my contacts)". I have to tell it to change title, then confirm everything. An extra step, but it always seems

If you like old time radio shows, you might look at Vintage Radio. There is a free version that has a lot of stuff. Then, there is a paid/subscription version that seems to me to be way too expensive considering all the sites and probably other OTR apps. This was just the first one I got a long

I cannot recall if this actually announces when you are at a stop or just says where they are -- Hamilton and Main for instance. BusTracker. When you are on the bus it does announce the stops as you go. I have only used it a few times and not lately. I also am in Columbus, and this might be a

In my earlier suggestion, I was not sure if BusTracker is a local product. It is for Columbus, Ohio (COTA). As I said, it has been awhile since I used it. Actually, I looked in the App Store, and it has not been updated since 2010. However, it does work on the bus to name passing intersections.
