Question about updating ios.
Hi list, a few days ago, I have noticed a kind of new event in notification area (notification center) on my iphone. It is saying that the update for ios is available. It is also stated the update have been downloaded to the phone. I really do not feel like I want to update it at the moment. I thing I really did not activate the option for updating ios software automatically. So my questions are: Is it somehow possible to set the iphone not to update automatically and not to get notifications of this kind? Can I remove already dowloaded software from the phone (I mean the setup not the installed version). Is it also possible to cancel the item in the notification area? Thank you for your help.

Re: typing on the phone
Hi Sandy, Sounds like you and I got our IPhones the same day. g I use the touch typing method and, though it is still a bit challenging, I am getting used to it slowly but surely. If you have someone who will text with you it's a good way to practice. Also, I use my right thumb for typing. It's the same digit I use for reading braille though I don't know that really makes a difference. It will take you some time to get proficient, but don't get discouraged.

Re: Groundwire Questions
Hi, regarding deleting VS archiving, you have to do it from the GV web site http://voice.google.com. The site does a bit of refreshing so for example, using Window-Eyes I have to turn browse mode off and then back on to see the new stuff. The cool thing is it doesn't auto-refresh in such a way that the browse mode buffer constantly loads. The site is very usable once you get used to its quirks. -- Raul A.

I'm honestly not sure how using Groundwire would affect the integrated Sprint/GV number. I would imagine that since it also has support for GV, it might interfere with the Voicemail features if any rerouting of the GV number is done so it moves from your phone to the Groundwire app. I wish I had a better answer, but I would only be guessing. It's true that I have a GV number, but I don't have Sprint, so it's not tied to my ATT phone number the way it is with Sprint. Regarding the usage of wi-fi, if they base it on the IP address you are at, and block it accordingly, then you would have to use a vpn. However if all they care about is using it on wifi, then it shouldn't matter and you can still make u.s. calls and your outgoing number would be the GV number which is still a u.S. number used to make calls to the U.S. The quality is probably not as good as a real cell phone call, but with a good wifi connection, I would imagine that it should be acceptable. I'm sorry I don't have concrete answers for you right now. I can give this app a try and see what I can figure out. I'm not planning on going overseas for a while, so all my testing would be from U.S. IP addresses. -- Raul A.

If I’m using the service overseas in a wi-fi network, could I theoretically make free U.S. calls from that other country, or am I going to have to set up a VPN network to use a U.S. IP address? 3.

Re: typing on the phone
Hello Sandy, this is a valid question on list and may help others who are in a similar situation. What I usually do is hold the phone with my left hand in portrait mode, meaning, right-side-up where the charging port is at the bottom. With my right hand I use my index finger to type the letters. Since I have touch typing enabled I simply slide my finger to the letter I want and then lift up and the letter is entered. I have done the thumb typing at other times, but that's usually when the phone is in landscape mode, meaning on its side. For beginners I usually recommend you keep the default tap type mode so that you have to double-tap the letter after finding it. Meaning, it behaves just like all other buttons and icons on the screen. If you do it this way, what you can do is find the letter you want and with your index still on that letter, tap any other part of the screen with your middle finger. This is a split tap, and basically acts as a double-tap and the letter is activated. I hope this helps. -- Raul A.

Re: Question about updating ios.
Maria what you hear is often untrue and unfounded. I am not having any battery issues on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1. Haven't updated the iPod Touch yet though lol.

Re: typing on the phone
Sandy, I type with my second (index) finger with my left hand. I only use one finger to type. I started out with Standard Typing mode, then after a friend recommendation switched to Touch Typing mode and fell in love with it almost instantly. You can also set up keyboard shortcuts in settings, general, keyboard, so that you can type a shorter phrase and it automatically expands to the longer one. The one set up is a good example. Hope this is of some help. Christopher Hallsworth On 15/05/2012 11:46, Sandy Finley wrote: Greetings. I have just purchased an iPhone and I am finding the typing daunting.

How to Calibrate Your Home Button | Snapguide
by Roberto Garza Sometimes when you press the home button on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch there can be a delay or even take a couple of tries before it responds. In this tutorial you will see how to fix this. Step 1 Open a stock application like the Calendar, Weather, or Youtube Step 2 With one of these apps opened, hold down the power button until the 'slide to power off' control appears. Step 3 As soon as you see it, press the home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is forced quit to the home menu. Step 4 That's it! Now you should have a much more responsive home button. http://snapguide.com/guides/calibrate-your-home-button/ I do not subscribe to this site, so not sure of their information. I have not tried this re-calibration, but intend to on my wife's phone, as the home button seems to have issues.

Re: typing on the phone
Some folk turn the phone landscape so they can use two digits to type with. For voiceover users, you might want to try the rotor and typing mode, there are two, and you can be efficient in both with practice. I use just the one finger and keep the others well out the way, that's how awful errors occur. Touch typing enters the hcaracter when you lift the finger, so you can feel around at will; otherwise, you have to double tap them. But in the manual, a split tap is a single tap with another finger, when the first finger found what you want. That is quite quick, but you do have to be that much more careful where all the fingers are at any time. I use the phone portrain, so iti s all very closely packed together, so anything after two fingers is crowded. You might want to consider a bluetooth keyboard and type properly of course.

Re: SecuMail from On-Core Software
I haven't tried this app so can't tell you whether it will be accessible. If you buy it and it turns out not to be accessible you can always request a refund from Apple. I've done this once, and they had no problem refunding me the $.99 I spent on an inaccessible app. If you buy the app and have to request a refund do to a lack of accessibility I suggest you do it a day or two after you receive the itunes receipt. Apple cannot refund the purchase until they send out the receipt and charge it to your account. I assume if you waited several weeks before requesting a refund you might have issues with Apple refunding a purchase but when I requested a refund within a week of receiving the receipt I had no issues.

Re: typing on the phone
There's a growing use of TypeInBraille as a free app; now that is pretty good. The idea is to be able to type in a noisy environment so you don't have to hear the feedback; then you can cut and paste or sms/mail directly from it's menu. RobH.

I for one cannot type with my thumbs. Even when I had my Windows Mobile phone with a keyboard I could not type with my thumbs. I'm left handed, so for me it makes more sense to type with my left index finger. I couldn't stand the split tap method even as a beginner, and in fact, I had one of the first 3gs's before they updated the iOS so that touch typing was an option, and I got rid of it. Needless to say, I prefer touch typing. For me, I find that the split tapping actually slows me down. Plus, I type a lot without voiceover feedback because of having a tactile screen, and I find typing flow is a lot more fluid.

RE: Removing VoiceOver Voices From iPad
Hi, Unfortunately, there's not, since the voices are stored I'd guess in a location that's not accessible to the user. And even so, I'm venturing to say that they're stored along with the OS in a small 500MB-1GB portion of the flash storage, which is why when you look at the capacity of a device, you don't see the full 64GB, or whatever amount you think you bought. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jane Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 10:54 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Removing VoiceOver Voices From iPad Is there a way to remove extra voices that just aren't being used from the iPad?

Re: typing on the phone
Some like the idea of the phone crossways, and this would give plenty of room for the letters for sure.

Re: Groundwire Questions
Yes, that's what I thought. I had old stuff from 2010 in mine back when, and you can only show so many at a time. I wanted to just purge the whole thing and start over, but looks like a tedious chore at 10 or so messages a screen. I don't even know if any clients let you do it more quickly, as I'm not sure what the API allows or doesn't allow for in that regard. - Original Message - From: Raul A.

I'm honestly not sure how using Groundwire would affect the integrated Sprint/GV number. I would imagine that since it also has support for GV, it might interfere with the Voicemail features if any rerouting of the GV number is done so it moves from your phone to the Groundwire app. I wish I had a better answer, but I would only be guessing. It's true that I have a GV number, but I don't have Sprint, so it's not tied to my ATT phone number the way it is with Sprint. Regarding the usage of wi-fi, if they base it on the IP address you are at, and block it accordingly, then you would have to use a vpn. However if all they care about is using it on wifi, then it shouldn't matter and you can still make u.s. calls and your outgoing number would be the GV number which is still a u.S. number used to make calls to the U.S. The quality is probably not as good as a real cell phone call, but with a good wifi connection, I would imagine that it should be acceptable.

Re: Sync-ing email thru Itunes -- a dummy's step by step needed
Hi, I don't think its convoluted at all. At least not if using a Mac. I've never tried on a windows machine but, I don't think the process would be different. Under the info tab for the settings for your IOS device in iTunes, check sync Mail accounts, and if you have more than 1 set up, select the ones you want to sync. Then sync your device. I mean, if your going to sync your device anyway, and iTunes is open, why not? If your comfortable navigating iTunes, I think its pretty straight forward.

Hi all, I went through some of the viPhone archives and read about folks using the speed dots screen covers. I was hoping to get some more feedback on the 2 models. If I understand them correctly, 1 model has all the letters covered with dots except fj, and the other model has fj covered. Both models have the other dots sprinkled around. I'm curious who is using which one and if they feel they are worth it. For those of you using the model where nearly all the letters are covered, are you able to text without really paying attention to voiceover? Say for example, you are in a noisy place. My last concern is the screen placement and longevity. I read a handful of messages where folks couldn't get their screens to stick and stay in place. How annoying for a $10 purchase. Any further thoughts on this? Is it a good idea to take the cover to Verizon and have them fit it? Thanks for the info. In a perfect world I'd have a braille display, but $10 is far more realistic then $1700. :) Traci Sent by Macbook Air Mail -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Sync-ing email thru Itunes -- a dummy's step by step needed
Hi, no. I believe Kim was asking about how to set up the mail so it syncs with the computer via iTunes. I've never done that since all the mail I use is through imap. This means that I can use any email program, whether it's a web-browser client, a Windows email program like Thunderbird or Outlook, or my iPhone and always have the same mail no matter what device I'm on. If I'm on the iPhone and delete an email about pink and purple socks, then that same email is also deleted when I go to my Windows computer using Thunderbird. Hope this helps. -- Raul A.

At the risk of being dense, you can always download them again from bookshare, which in essence means they are stored in the Cloud.

raising VO volume when on a phone call
I am quite sure this has been discussed. I seem to remember that somebody suggested having volume in your rotor settings which I do, and then adjusting that up when on a call so as to raise the level of vo as compared with the level of the foice coming through the ear piece of the IPhone 4S. But my VO is so low I can literally hear nothing whatsoever when I run my finger over the screen when on a call using the phone app or skype. This also means I can't find the earpiece button in order to tap it to access the speaker button when on skype. Taking the phone away from my ear acts very eratically in terms of sending the call to speaker. It is often reather slow to react. So how might I raise the VO level to where I can at least here it so as to dial keypad numbers or find the earpiece button for skype? Thanks.

iPad Syncing Question
I am carefully going through the Books tab of my iPad while it's hooked to the computer. I am removing a LOT of books, we're talking several hundred. Is there a way to sort the books by whether they are checked or not? I am now in the titles starting with S, but if I come back to it tomorrow, I want to go ahead and simply get to a list of all the checked books and decide which ones to uncheck, not see every single book and whether it's selected or not. Thoughts on this are welcome. Jane -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: iPad Syncing Question
That's what I ended up doing. I *hope* that when I delete the last of the books I'm not keeping on from the iPad, it will show up that way in iTunes when I sync again? I'm child-proofing this iPad, so there are only going to be certain books on it after this weekend. Since I had over 1,200 to get through, I figured I'd better start now. Once I got into it, it moved along--I just remembered to lock the VO keys on the Mac. Beethoven helped, too.

Re: raising VO volume when on a phone call
Yep, the rotor in a call thing doesn't change the proportion on a 4S. I'm starting to become a believer in the idea that different batches have different issues because I had my first 4S replaced with the current one in April because the volume buttons got sensitive to even the vibration alert. The first one had a nice mix of VO and call audio, not as loud of volume on the speaker phone, and Siri dipped the VO audio when engaged. This one has the low VO level on calls, it significantly increases the level for Siri, and the speaker phone is about where it should be. I think this one goes through battery faster, but I'm not 100 percent certain. I noticed the other day that the pocket with the phone in heated up more, where the one Apple now has back didn't noticeably ever heat up. - Original Message - From: Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 9:35 PM Subject: Re: raising VO volume when on a phone call Hi, If your using a 4S, there is really nothing you can do short of using headphones.

Re: raising VO volume when on a phone call
I really think you might be right about the inconsistent issues. Frustrating that Apple seems to not ever say nor do anything about it either. I am also a firm believer that as long as they have more money than just about anybody else in America, they really will never care either. Their answer that seems to be working just fine for them is if the customer complains enough and you can't lie to them or send them off trying some thing or another in theory or just BS, replace the unit with a refirb that may or may not be randomly any good and send them out the door.

Re: How to Calibrate Your Home Button | Snapguide
Ok I just tried it. I released the power button after the turn off message and held the home button until being put back on the home screen. This was with calendar open as the stock app to perform the procedure on. It did not take calendar out of the app switcher, but that makes sense in one logical way. In theory it force quit it and left it in the app switchter because removing it from the app switcher directly may be the only way to get it out of the app switcher.

Re: raising VO volume when on a phone call
To add to this and make it possibly even less clear and something else that one's mileage may vary is that I sware that when I move the speaker volume up and down in some way on a call, the relative VO volume does end up increasing. Not in a predictable way though and not that it increases by moving the speaker volume up necessarily, but just in the process somewhere along the line it relatively increases. Kinda strange. On 5/15/12, James Mannion mannion...@gmail.com wrote: I really think you might be right about the inconsistent issues. Frustrating that Apple seems to not ever say nor do anything about it either. I am also a firm believer that as long as they have more money than just about anybody else in America, they really will never care either. Their answer that seems to be working just fine for them is if the customer complains enough and you can't lie to them or send them off trying some thing or another in theory or just BS, replace the unit with a refirb that may or may not be randomly any good and send them out the door. On 5/15/12, Brent Harding br...@hostany.net wrote: Yep, the rotor in a call thing doesn't change the proportion on a 4S. I'm starting to become a believer in the idea that different batches have different issues because I had my first 4S replaced with the current one in April because the volume buttons got sensitive to even the vibration alert. The first one had a nice mix of VO and call audio, not as loud of volume on the speaker phone, and Siri dipped the VO audio when engaged. This one has the low VO level on calls, it significantly increases the level for Siri, and the speaker phone is about where it should be. I think this one goes through battery faster, but I'm not 100 percent certain. I noticed the other day that the pocket with the phone in heated up more, where the one Apple now has back didn't noticeably ever heat up. - Original Message - From: Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 9:35 PM Subject: Re: raising VO volume when on a phone call Hi, If your using a 4S, there is really nothing you can do short of using headphones.

I seem to remember that somebody suggested having volume in your rotor settings which I do, and then adjusting that up when on a call so as to raise the level of vo as compared with the level of the foice coming through the ear piece of the IPhone 4S. But my VO is so low I can literally hear nothing whatsoever when I run my finger over the screen when on a call using the phone app or skype. This also means I can't find the earpiece button in order to tap it to access the speaker button when on skype. Taking the phone away from my ear acts very eratically in terms of sending the call to speaker. It is often reather slow to react. So how might I raise the VO level to where I can at least here it so as to dial keypad numbers or find the earpiece button for skype? Thanks.

Re: raising VO volume when on a phone call
But if I have vo in the rotor so I can set it there, will vlicking up to 100% vo volume affect just vo and not the rest of the sound? Of course, the problem is, mostly I don't want vo up to 100%, and I sure don't want all sound up that loud.

Re: Google books
Katey, I have no idea when this will happen, but you can always check with the applevis site, www.applevis.com and see if anyone reviews more recent versions as they come out. It's a good thing you got back to the older version. It's definitely nice to have books back. :) Teresa Visualize whirled peas. On May 15, 2012, at 9:48 PM, Katey Glass wrote: Hi list.
