Re: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6?
This is interesting, though don't see how it would help with height/altitude. Given the variability of air pressure relative to weather conditions, it would hardly be accurate. Even planes used to have to zero their altimeter relative to prevailing conditions before they get a good or accurate fix. Modern ones probably do better now. And after all that, Siri can work that out with GPS, too. RobH. Disappointed, Siri gave me a lecture on what altitude was, and didn't tell me my position at all.

Re: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6?
Hi Thanks for this. It is interesting indeed. I read the altitude thing in a review of the iPhone 6 on the gsm arena website, and also did not quite get it how that would help, so that's why I was wondering if the barometer was usable for it real function via voice over?

Re: best hard case?
hello, i'm looking for a good hard case for my apple mini ipad, Billy - Original Message - From: Cristóbal To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2014 7:49 PM Subject: RE: best hard case? Ballistic's cases are great. Another advantage they have is that there's a bumper around the edge of the phone so that the screen isn't flush with the case. They're also super light not adding much if any real weight to the device. I don't recall the name of the iPad Air version my wife was looking at, but I do know that she didn’t' care for Ballistic's offering as there was no protective flap for the tablet's screen. She instead opted for an oragami case with a flap. That's more a type of different strokes for different folks thing though. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kelly Pierce Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2014 10:13 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: best hard case? Ballistic offers a case called the Tough Jacket for the iPad. I would strongly encourage you to tactily evaluate the hard cases you are considering. Since I bought my Ballistic Hard Core iPhone case for the iPhone 5, companies have begun designing cases to the rigorous specifications of the United States military. These newer cases are more stronger and durable and exceedingly protective from what came before it. They are more rugged and protective than other cases widely marketed. Realize these cases are not for the fashionable or will fit into skinny guy jeans at an urban nightclub. yet, they protect the i device very well. I would suggest reading the reviews of hard cases, visiting stores, or ordering a few online and returning the ones that you didn't choose as your hard iPad case.

I bought the Ballistic Hard Core case for my iPhone 5 and I haven’t looked back. Otterbox cases clamp the I device to the case. Eventually, these clamps can loosen, scratching the glass of the I device. Ballistic sandwiches the I device between the upper and lower parts of the case so the I device is entombed into the case. It doesn’t wiggle ever and impact is absorbed by the entire case. The iPhone has taken drops and bangs over the two years I have owned it. Yes, the case makes the iPhone bigger, but it does its job nicely. If you really want break proof protection, get a Ballistic Hard Core case. You will not be disappointed.

Re: IPhone 5 vibrate mode
Hi, There is a mute switch just above the volume buttons that you can slide back and forth. That will not mute voiceover, but it will make it so the phone won't ring. Be aware if you are using iOS 8, there is a bug that effects vibrate mode. It will only emit one little vibrate then do nothing. This is sort of a pain in the you-know-what.

Re: Problem with new iPhone
Again, thanks for all the posts. Joseph Freetech sent me a post off list yesterday morning. It was a KB article which I followed. The last suggestion was to connect the iPhone to another computer and try the restoration that way. That worked! I was ecstatic! My computer could tell me the phone was in recovery mode and it could begin the process of recovery and restoration, but after that point I continued to get one of two messages, either a message 17 or an iPhone not found message. After the phone was out of recovery mode, I could once again connect it to my computer and finish the whole restore and update process. The iPhone is now all well and I'm really enjoying it. I had no intention of getting a new phone, because I still had a year on the contract, but my iPhone 5 decided it no longer wished to serve me in any productive way. The home button became almost totally unresponsive, or would perform a totally different action than I desired or expected.

RE: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6?
Hi Rob and Jan, Altimeters both stand-alone units sold in climbing and outdoor stores as well as those integrated in all of the better Garmin GPS units all use a barometric sensor to give precise elevation readings. Any GPS as well as the iPhone can give you elevation based on GPS information, but while this is better now than it was years ago, it is still less accurate than elevation information based on barometric pressure because of GPS signal time delays and simply the problem with acquiring enough satellites for an accurate calculation. . Typically all one has to do with a barometric altimeter is set the elevation at a known location, e.g. any airport would do because you can simply ask the airport authorities or google what the elevation of any particular airport is. Once set a barometric altimeter will give you accurate readings as you go up or down in elevation based on air pressure. This is the same principal as in scuba diving where you get very accurate depth readings from your depth gauge based on water pressure, pressure at sea level is 1 bar or approx. 14.5 pounds per square inch and this increases by 1 bar or 14.5 pounds per square inch for every 33 feet you go down and the depth gauge messures this pressure and gives your depth in return. A relatively deep recreational dive of 110 feet means you are exposed to 4 Bar or approx. 58 pounds per square inch of pressure. If you take an empty 2 Liter pop bottle down there with the cap screwed on tight it will be squished flat. You will have to recalibrate a barometric altimeter if there are significant changes in air pressure due to weather conditions, e.g. a storm causes an intense low pressure system. If you want to learn more about this all you have to do is Google something like How does a barometric altimeter work or How ddo weather conditions effect barometric altimeters or How to calibrate a barometric altimeter.

Re: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6?
Thanks for all this, I'll go read some more about that. I remember reading a book, a novel, but they were describing how an airport had to quote their bm pressure on the ground and their altitude to feed into the aircrafts device to give an accurate value before trying a landing, especially by instruments. I don't know how far weather can effect pressure and how much pressure changes with altitude to see the scale of the issue. How many millibars per hundred feet of altitude for example, I'm sure 20 or 30 millibars of variability isn't unusual for weather.

Rotor question
When listening to an Applevis podcast the person was using the rotor. It seemed to me he was going through the rotor list pretty fast. When I turned the rotor it doesn't seem to go that fast.

Touchtones getting stuck on iPhone 6+
Hi All, Have looked back through the recent list traffic but have not seen this one discussed. I'm running iOS 8.0.2 and am restoring my iPhone 6+ from an iCloud backup. I say 'am restoring' since the phone still tells me it is restoring on the lock screen even after several days. the backup is from my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2 and all looks basically well except for a very serious issue with the phone keypad both when dialing a phone number or dialing when on a call already. What happens is that at any given time, (without warning) keys on the phone keypad will in essence, stick, so that the tone for said keys will continue to play after I have released my finger. I have never seen this issue before through years of using the iPhone. The only ways I have found to stop these tones (once started) are: 1 try double-tapping the key in question once again. Sometimes however, this will play the tone for the key again which interferes with either the phone number I am dialing or the phone directory system I am entering data into. 2 closing the phone app. this sometimes works and sometimes does not. 3 If all else fails I have needed to completely restart the phone to get the tones to stop being played. Just as a reference, I have my keyboard settings set to touch typing. Obviously the above behavior is completely unacceptable and quite serious. So I would have expected to see others commenting on this here. So unless I am the only one seeing this, has anyone else had this happen to them at all? Thanks so much to you All and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Tech Talk Discussion Group Meeting about IOS 8 taking place in the Los Angeles Area
Hello Listers, 1. I requested and was given permission to post the following by the list owner, Cara Quinn. 2. Any and ALL comments, inquiries etc. should be sent to me directly using the contact info provided below, NOT to the list. In other words, I will not respond to or acknowledge any comments or questions that are posted here. 3. These monthly meetings are free and open to anyone who wishes to attend. Anyone wishing to be kept informed about future meetings should use the contact info below to be added to our list. Thank you: The Center for the Partially Sighted Presents TECH TALK New advances in technology are changing the lives of many people who are blind or low-vision. Come and be part of a group that will meet every month to discuss and help you better understand many types of Assistive Technologies that can help you to Be more independent and productive. Whether you are new to technology or know your way around, participating in “Tech Talk” is a great way to meet others like you who want to learn more about or enjoy talking tech. Join us this month for a discussion about the new iPhones and especially IOS 8. This highly anticipated major update to Apple’s mobile operating system gives us some powerful new features but unfortunately also introduced numerous “bugs” affecting accessibility that for some, caused serious disruption to functionality. While it is all but impossible to downgrade, there are some work arounds that can help us persevere until the next major update (IOS 8.1) rumored to come out on October 20th which will activate Apple Pay and hopefully include fixes to some of these nasty bugs. We can also discuss the good things that were introduced in IOS 8, some of which are yet to come. As an added bonus, we will also be joined by Cara Quinn from LookTel and owner of the well known and very informative VIPhone Group Mailing List, who can enhance our discussion by sharing her knowledge thus helping us to gain a better understanding of how IOS works under the hood. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this meeting. When: Saturday October 18, 2014 2PM to 4PM (if coming via Access please try to schedule your return pick up after 4PM) Where: The Center for the Partially Sighted Tarzana Office (conference room) 18425 Burbank Bl. Suite 706 (7th Floor) Near Reseda Bl. *Please note that the conference room is located 1 door to the right of the main office entrance.

Re: Readability
Hi Mary, Well, I'd say see if you can find a way to contact the developer because not only can you not type in the email field, but you can go into the password field, delete what is there and type in 10 or 11 characters but it still shows that there are 8 characters.

Re: [Blindgeekzone] FW: 5 IOS 8 Flaws You Should Know
For those who don't want to hassle with cliking on the link in the forwarded message, here's a thumbnail synopsis. Hopefully I got this right. IOS 8 will slow down older phones like the 4S. IOS 8 is designed for larger displays, and, that being the case, the extra space required onscreen may preclude proper use of the onscreen keyboard. IOS 8 requires much more space to install, which could be a problem on older phones with limited storage. IOS may ruin your ability to use wi-fi.

Re: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6?
I owned many aneroid barometers when i was sighted. The calibration described below is correct, and you need to recalibrate from time to time. The old barometers had two pointers. One was stationary, and was the one that you would set by turning a knob. The other was active and responded to the pressure changes. if the active pointer read lower than the static one, that indicated a decrease in pressure, and a marked decrease could indicate that a storm is coming. Likewise, if the active pointer read higher than the static one, it usually meant that fair weather was coming.

Hi Rob and Jan, Altimeters both stand-alone units sold in climbing and outdoor stores as well as those integrated in all of the better Garmin GPS units all use a barometric sensor to give precise elevation readings. Any GPS as well as the iPhone can give you elevation based on GPS information, but while this is better now than it was years ago, it is still less accurate than elevation information based on barometric pressure because of GPS signal time delays and simply the problem with acquiring enough satellites for an accurate calculation. . Typically all one has to do with a barometric altimeter is set the elevation at a known location, e.g. any airport would do because you can simply ask the airport authorities or google what the elevation of any particular airport is. Once set a barometric altimeter will give you accurate readings as you go up or down in elevation based on air pressure. This is the same principal as in scuba diving where you get very accurate depth readings from your depth gauge based on water pressure, pressure at sea level is 1 bar or approx. 14.5 pounds per square inch and this increases by 1 bar or 14.5 pounds per square inch for every 33 feet you go down and the depth gauge messures this pressure and gives your depth in return. A relatively deep recreational dive of 110 feet means you are exposed to 4 Bar or approx. 58 pounds per square inch of pressure. If you take an empty 2 Liter pop bottle down there with the cap screwed on tight it will be squished flat. You will have to recalibrate a barometric altimeter if there are significant changes in air pressure due to weather conditions, e.g. a storm causes an intense low pressure system. If you want to learn more about this all you have to do is Google something like How does a barometric altimeter work or How ddo weather conditions effect barometric altimeters or How to calibrate a barometric altimeter.

RE: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6?
Hi Jan, I don't think it does, the barometric measurement is probably strictly used for elevation. However, any good weather app should give you barometric pressure and as long as you don;'t live a long way above or below wherever the nearest sensors are located it should be pretty accurate. Alternatively, the Netatmo Weather Station will give you barometric pressure. If you search for Netatmo in the archives you can find a number of posts about it.

Hi Rob and Jan, Altimeters both stand-alone units sold in climbing and outdoor stores as well as those integrated in all of the better Garmin GPS units all use a barometric sensor to give precise elevation readings. Any GPS as well as the iPhone can give you elevation based on GPS information, but while this is better now than it was years ago, it is still less accurate than elevation information based on barometric pressure because of GPS signal time delays and simply the problem with acquiring enough satellites for an accurate calculation. . Typically all one has to do with a barometric altimeter is set the elevation at a known location, e.g. any airport would do because you can simply ask the airport authorities or google what the elevation of any particular airport is. Once set a barometric altimeter will give you accurate readings as you go up or down in elevation based on air pressure. This is the same principal as in scuba diving where you get very accurate depth readings from your depth gauge based on water pressure, pressure at sea level is 1 bar or approx. 14.5 pounds per square inch and this increases by 1 bar or 14.5 pounds per square inch for every 33 feet you go down and the depth gauge messures this pressure and gives your depth in return. A relatively deep recreational dive of 110 feet means you are exposed to 4 Bar or approx. 58 pounds per square inch of pressure. If you take an empty 2 Liter pop bottle down there with the cap screwed on tight it will be squished flat. You will have to recalibrate a barometric altimeter if there are significant changes in air pressure due to weather conditions, e.g. a storm causes an intense low pressure system. If you want to learn more about this all you have to do is Google something like How does a barometric altimeter work or How ddo weather conditions effect barometric altimeters or How to calibrate a barometric altimeter.

Hi Thanks for this. It is interesting indeed. I read the altitude thing in a review of the iPhone 6 on the gsm arena website, and also did not quite get it how that would help, so that's why I was wondering if the barometer was usable for it real function via voice over? Thanks all the same.

This is interesting, though don't see how it would help with height/altitude. Given the variability of air pressure relative to weather conditions, it would hardly be accurate. Even planes used to have to zero their altimeter relative to prevailing conditions before they get a good or accurate fix. Modern ones probably do better now. And after all that, Siri can work that out with GPS, too. RobH. Disappointed, Siri gave me a lecture on what altitude was, and didn't tell me my position at all. Yet I have been, when using 6.1.4 or whatever that was. - Original Message - From: Jan Kleinhans jhkleinh...@telkomsa.net To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, October 06, 2014 4:32 AM Subject: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6? Hi Has anybody that owns a iPhone 6 or 6+ looked at the barometer function of the phone? I am curious as to whether it can be used by users using voice over? I read somewhere that it is used mainly for elevation, but I am interested in the weather functions of the barometer, meaning can
