Re: Suggestions Needed Concerning How to accumulate gold in Solara Game, and Questions to anyone who has completed the Game
That's not true for my version. In mine, the gold accumulates for any particular shop until that shop has filled it's quota, at which time the accumulation for that shop or group of shops stops. That means that if you have three shops of a type and they say 100 gold every 30 minutes, they don't make more gold after 30 minutes. If you collect their gold, they start all over again. If a shop goes for 8 hours, it stops after 8 hours. - Original Message - From: Lea Langley wrenlang...@sbcglobal.net To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2013 11:00 AM Subject: Re: Suggestions Needed Concerning How to accumulate gold in Solara Game, and Questions to anyone who has completed the Game Hi, once you have selected say for example jagged obsidian, it will stay selected until you change it. Yes the gold keeps accumulating automatically. Now here is something. One of you said that if you take a duplicate out the other one seems to go out as well. This does not happen with me. I have heard or read that there may be more than one addition of the game. Perhaps that has something to do with all of this. Interesting. I am sorry that I am not a very good explainer. About the gold yes, it does keep accumulating automatically and as long as you do not select the gold it will keep mounting up until he gets to a certain limit I believe this depends on how many shops you have and how much gold you can accumulate. If you keep flicking the button and it doesn't continue to add up the number that is there then you know you were at your limit.

One other note: When building and adding to your castle, I would add food shops as much as you can. Don't worry, food shops also produce gold on top of helping your food out. Food shops adds to the maximum food you can have. For example, your food might currently say 500/500 food. The scecond number is the maximum amount of food you can have, and the first number is the amount of food you do have. Say you buy a food shop that says, plus 80 max food.

Hi Wren, The SIRI voice have nothing whatsoever to do with any Accessibility settings.

RE: how to re name folders in ios 7 on the 4s?
Hi Joseph and Mich, I would strongly discourage anybody from using the custom label feature (double tap and hold) as Joseph described it to rename folders. You can properly rename a folder as follows: 1. Double tap on the folder to open it. 2. Do a 1-finger double tap and hold on either the folder name once the folder is open or on one of the apps in the folder. If you do it on one of the apps, let's say I have the Dropbox app in a folder called Business and Productivity, then the double tap and hold will put you into moving mode and Voiceover will say Moving Dropbox, Dropbox, is editing. If you do the double tap and hold on the folder, you have to do another double tap and hold to get into the actual editing mode. 3. If you did the gesture on an app, swipe left until you get to the folder name or the Clear All button which will clear the edit field completely. 4. Delete part of the folder name or clear the entire field with the Clear All button. 5. Type in what you want the folder to be called or do a 2-finger double tap to start Dictating if you have an iPhone 4S or above and speak the folder name. 6. Press the Home key to get out of editing mode, press home a second time to close the folder.

Hi Rick and others, I waited until this afternoon to place my order, but the shipping estimate here in Canada for the Gold, Silver and Black phones was the same this afternoon as they were at just after Midnight when I also checked. I was going to order an unlocked 5S 64 Gig in Gold directly from Apple, but all the shipping estimate said was “October”. When I called the sales line today the lady told me this could mean first week of October or fourth week of October. Anyhow, I also ordered one of the leather cases to see what it’s like and even if I don’t use it I’ll use another one which covers up most of the back of the phone. In the end I decided to go with the Space Grey, so basically the same Black phone I have now as my 4S. The good thing is that my 4S happens to act up a lot with the proximity sensor. I called tech support and explained this to the agent, I told him I am planning to buy an unlocked 5S 64 Gig at full price just as I bought my 4S 64 Gig at full price 2 years ago. He agreed that I should not have to deal with this when trying to sell the phone, created a case and said my Apple Care runs out October 17. As long as I call before then they will send me a new 4S 64 Gig Black iPhone, well, maybe a refurbished one, but for my purposes it will be a new phone. I still have the original package, an originally wrapped old style iPhone 4S headset and a few accessories. I am hoping my 5S arrives in time so I can get the 4S replaced without even having to use it so I can essentially sell it as a new, unused 4S 64 Gig which I expect will get me half the price of my new 5S. a big High Five to Apple’s fantastic customer service.

I think that the idea when a company create new versions of operated systems, is to improve the functionality, but the reality is different. Any way, if the Ios 7 is good or if it is bad, it is not the issue. I am a customer that is not satisfied with how my product works with the last update. I want that the product that I bought 1 years ago, works like it was doing when I bought it, because the last update is giving me problems. It is a right that I have like customer. I want my product, working, if they did mistakes, bugs, and things that they need to fix, they should let me use the operates system that I had before, until they fix what ever they have to fix. That I am saying is that Apple should let me downgrade my iPhone, until they fix what ever they did wrong. - Original Message - From: Raul A.

However I seem to recall that you sent this list a ton of messages about how you didn't want to upgrade to iOS 6 because of bugs. Then you upgraded to iOS 6 and you kept asking the list how to revert back to iOS 5. Now it seems you are doing the same with iOS 7 in wanting to go back to iOS 6. I just don't get it. If you don't want to risk the new bugs introduced with a new iOS, then wait like you did with iOS 6 until a newer iOS 7, maybe iOS 7.01 or something is out. Just a friendly suggestion. -- Raul A.

Unfortunately Apple has blocked that ability now. You were able to revert when iOS seven beta was out. But with the public release of iOS 7 you can't. Apple operating system is still the most accessible application on the market. But there are definite bugs in it compared to iOS 6. Why Apple doesn't put voice over features through a more rigorous testing process I don't know. But here are a compilation of the problems I have experienced thus far. Many have discussed the jerkiness of voiceover. IT will have experienced this. I have an iPhone five and iOS seven. To be more specific it occurs when typing in Twitter or typing messages. I will be typing a message and flick up or down one time to go past a word. Sometimes voice over will then we verse my motion. Instead of being at the end of the word as I intended suddenly I am at the beginning of the word. I'm a fairly educated individual having a doctorate degree. So it is not due to me accidentally touching the screen or anything on my part. It is a flaw in the software at least on my phone. Another example of a voice over error occurs in the Twitter application Twitterrific. Sometimes it will read a tweet again and again and again until I swipe left or right to move up or down the list of tweets. This I could be a problem with the Twitter application itself.

Hi, I am not going to have my iPhone 5S for a couple more weeks since when I ordered it yesterday The Apple Store app said 7 to 10 days for shipping.

So, let's start from sirie: The new and better Sirie voices are not Vocalizer Expressive voices. These are custom voices that Nuance or some other company makes a specially for Apple, I think it's Nuance because Apple always works with them on TTS related stuff. Now, let's move on to VoiceOver: In iOS 6, Apple used the Nuance Vocalizer for automotive version 5.5 platform for it's screen reader and Sirie. Since Nuance stopped supporting and developing Vocalizer for Automotive, and released Vocalizer Expressive, in iOS 7, Apple has swiched to using these voices for VoiceOver. Most of them sound the same as the previous generation of Vocalizer, such as Samantha Premium for example, they just read longer texts better. The Vocalizer Expressive platform contains some new and very expressive voices, but Apple decided to use the ones that wer already available, because they are still offerd with Vocalizer Expressive, or VE for short. Some other facts that thanks to them you can know it's the new Expressive version, are the bad compact voices, a specially Daniel, and the new voices for some languages such as Arabic, they have replaced Maged with Tarik for this language because Nuance doesn't offer Maged any more. Vocalizer Expressive has a Hebrew voice as well, so I hope Apple will add it soon too:) (Smile). Hope now you understand it better..

Speech interrupted by hearing the word delete in the email app on IOS 7
I wonder if this problem is unique to me, since I haven't heard anyone mention it, but here's what I have happening. After reading a message in the email client on IOS 7, I'll double tap the delete button at the bottom of the screen. I'll hear the subject for the next message, and then I do a two finger swipe up to read the message. A few words or lines into the message, I'll hear VoiceOver say delete and it stops reading the message. I need to do another two finger swipe up to reread the message in it's entirety. Anyone else seeing this or know what might be going on? It's not a big deal, but it is slowing down my email reading. -- Christopher (CJ) chaltain at Gmail -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Speech interrupted by hearing the word delete in the email app on IOS 7
Yes, I have the very same problem on my 4s running ios7. I talked about it under the subject line of vo jumping around or something like that. Not surprised you missed it with the amount of email that's been coming through the past few days. I think it's a symptom of vo losing focus, but can't say for sure. As you said, it's annoying but not a deal breaker.

Handwriting - how to get a comma
Hello, I am quite intriqued by the new handwriting feature and have been practicing a bit. I have a feeling that if a person knows how to write which I do since I lost my sight at the age of almost 17, this could become a rather efficient method of text input. I actually don't understand why Apple does not make this available to all iPhone users instead of restricting it to Voiceover users. They could have made Handwriting a keyboard choice so to speak. This way if you added the Handwriting keyboard to your list of keyboards, one could have simply tapped on the keyboard button at the bottom to switch to it, but maybe they have their reasons. Anyhow, I would like to know if somebody has figured out how to best insert a comma. I know of course I have to switch to the punctuation area and I have managed to figure out how to do most commonly used symbols like a period, semicolon, colon, question mark, exclamation mark, Dollar sign, @ symbol, underscore etc. I am still having a bit of trouble with a dash, if you draw a horizontal line across it always interprets it as an underscore. I don't think I managed to get a comma done more than once and I have no idea how I did it. If I simply draw a line down the screen it inserts this as a vertical line, if I give the line a bit of a curve it usually inserts a right parenthesis. Any explanations are appreciated.

Dictating without the dictation button -- how to do it?
Hi All, I used to use dictation all the time in ios6. But now with ios7 there is no dictation button. I read a blog post that described how to do it and they made it sound like the greatest advancement ever, but I just can't get the hang of it. My phone never goes into dictation mode no matter what I do. I usually just end up moving the cursor or playing music or whatever.

RE: Dictating without the dictation button -- how to do it?
Hi! Kimba What you need to do is to go to the edit field that you want to dictate in and double tap on it to activate the edit field. Once the edit field is activated do a two finger double tap in the edit field and wait until you hear a tone and start dictating your message and once finished do another two finger double tap. Your message will be put into the edit field. I hope this helps.

Re: Facebook access problem
Hi Sieghard: The app wasn't doing anything, just kept saying double tap to pause download, but it wasn't down loading. I plugged it into itunes several times and on the third or fourth time syncing with my computer it finally managed to sync the facebook app. That might explain why I've lost most of my facebook contacts, I did update the contacts from the facebook option in settings but it didn't give me the missing facebook contats, any thoughts as to how I can get those back, if that's possible.

First impressions of IOS 7
Hi List, So after reading lots of posts on here I finally took the plunge and updated. Unfortunately the update did not go very smoothly over the air resulting in a bricked IPhone. Thankfully updating ITunes followed by a restore solved this issue though I was wondering if this was a sign of things to come. Luckily I can say the update to IOS 7 has been a very positive experience so far on my IPhone 5. If anything I feel many of the features such as typing are faster on the IPhone and it actually seems snappier which was a surprise. I haven't had too many problems with screen sensitivity. I have to say the bug when selecting multiple email messages wehre it says selected on the next message when you flick right is a bit irritating though. I wasn't that excited by a lot of the new features announced for IOS 7 but have been surprised how much I like many of them. The new app switcher is lovely to use and siri is massively improved. I also think I might use dictation more now you can just tap with two fingers once in an edit field. I've had a bit of a play with the handwriting mode feature but need to learn more letters first. It'd be great if there was a tutorial or description somewhere of how to do different letters for people who have never really learnt handwriting. I'm looking forward to Itunes Radio coming to the UK as well as hopefully different siri voices. For anyone still toying with the idea of updating I can understand why you are hesitant. All I can suggest is to read other people's views and then make a decision. However, from my experience IOS 7 hasn't been as bad as I thought it might be and there are a lot of surprisingly useful features which I think will make using my IPhone an easier and more pleasant experience.

Freeq by Psychic Bunny
Freeq FREEQ is an audio adventure game for iPhone and android mobile devices $4.99 USD by Psychic Bunny An audio adventure game that gives you the amazing ability to tune in to phone calls and radio signals from the past or future. You can essentially travel through time and change the world. After a major disaster, there's only one society left on Earth. You can use your powerful tool to tune in to their dramatic conversations about affairs, arguments, experiments, and more. This is nothing like the games you're used to playing on your iPhone. There are plenty of instructions to read through before you get started. I do actually recommend reading them all so you don't find things confusing once you start searching for signals to hijack. Hijacking a phone line is done in two stages. The first involves tilting your phone until you find a signal and the second involves a switchboard where you have to decide who to connect with. If you don't make your decision quickly enough, you'll lose your signal and end up back at the first stage. The story you end up being a part of depends on who you connect with and when you make make the connections. It's worth listening to the conversations carefully so you can decide on what connections to make next. Every conversation you create will give you more clues about what actually caused the world to end. The actual process of finding signals and hijacking conversations is quite repetitive. This app is entertaining because of the stories. The fact that some people know that you're listening to their conversations makes it even more interesting. After listening to a few phone calls, you'll really want to know how the story ends and what happens to the characters involved. If you're the type who enjoys interactive stories and radio shows, you'll love FREEQ. It's also worth checking out if you're getting bored with normal iPhone games and want to try something completely different. Version 1.2 Accessibility Update! FREEQ is now usable for blind and low-vision players. Audio instructions are in-game for further information. It has an accessibility mode that uses voiceover like jestures, that being flick and double tap. To activate it, you put your thumb and finger together then slide them both away from each other, like the opposite of a pinch in smack me.

Re: Problems with the Facebook app
Hi All, I really don't recommend you upgrade to the latest version of facebook. The notifications are there but instead of being at the top, they are now at the bottom but vo won't read them at all. It is also running a lot slower with or without vo. I do hope that FB will be able to fix this problem soon as it would seem to me that with every upgrade they seem to be going backwards not forwards.

Re: First impressions of IOS 7
I think you can try the handwriting out in VoiceOver practice. On 22/09/2013 12:31, Louise Redsull wrote: Hi List, So after reading lots of posts on here I finally took the plunge and updated. Unfortunately the update did not go very smoothly over the air resulting in a bricked IPhone. Thankfully updating ITunes followed by a restore solved this issue though I was wondering if this was a sign of things to come. Luckily I can say the update to IOS 7 has been a very positive experience so far on my IPhone 5. If anything I feel many of the features such as typing are faster on the IPhone and it actually seems snappier which was a surprise. I haven't had too many problems with screen sensitivity. I have to say the bug when selecting multiple email messages wehre it says selected on the next message when you flick right is a bit irritating though. I wasn't that excited by a lot of the new features announced for IOS 7 but have been surprised how much I like many of them. The new app switcher is lovely to use and siri is massively improved. I also think I might use dictation more now you can just tap with two fingers once in an edit field. I've had a bit of a play with the handwriting mode feature but need to learn more letters first. It'd be great if there was a tutorial or description somewhere of how to do different letters for people who have never really learnt handwriting. I'm looking forward to Itunes Radio coming to the UK as well as hopefully different siri voices. For anyone still toying with the idea of updating I can understand why you are hesitant. All I can suggest is to read other people's views and then make a decision. However, from my experience IOS 7 hasn't been as bad as I thought it might be and there are a lot of surprisingly useful features which I think will make using my IPhone an easier and more pleasant experience.

two finger double tap, and what plays in bard mobile
Hi, Sometimes, when I'm in bard mobile, and give a 2-finger double tap, my book plays and pauses as I would expect. Other times, when I'm in bard mobile, a two-finger double tap starts and stops either music from the music library, or sometimes audio from downcast. I can't pinpoint what causes two finger double tap to sometimes work and sometimes not. To complicate issues, I've listened to audio through Bluetooth, through wired headphones, and directly connected to a dock. I haven't used the app long enough to figure out the conditions under which bard mobile won't play its own content when double tapped, but if others are experiencing this, perhaps we can bring it to nls's attention I am running IOS 6 still, on an iPhone 4s. Thanks for any help. Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing viphone@googlegroups.com.

Re: Handwriting - how to get a comma
Sieghard, I am stumped with commas and apostrophes! I found with the dash you just need to do a very short line. I had a small amount of vision as a child and learned how to print.

Re: Handwriting - how to get a comma
An easy way to write a comma is to write a dot and than swipe down with 2 fingers until VO says comme. Same way you can reach the dash by drawing an underscore and swiping down with 2 fingers.

Not sure it is an NLS problem. Both my wife and I have had issues of music starting with a double tap when on the home screen or in a totally unrelated app like phone. Thing is, neither of us have any music on our phones. Actually we did have a song by Uncle Cracker which I had accidentally bought about 3 years ago.

Re: A Pandora question.

You can essentially travel through time and change the world. After a major disaster, there's only one society left on Earth. You can use your powerful tool to tune in to their dramatic conversations about affairs, arguments, experiments, and more. This is nothing like the games you're used to playing on your iPhone. There are plenty of instructions to read through before you get started. I do actually recommend reading them all so you don't find things confusing once you start searching for signals to hijack. Hijacking a phone line is done in two stages. The first involves tilting your phone until you find a signal and the second involves a switchboard where you have to decide who to connect with. If you don't make your decision quickly enough, you'll lose your signal and end up back at the first stage. The story you end up being a part of depends on who you connect with and when you make make the connections. It's worth listening to the conversations carefully so you can decide on what connections to make next. Every conversation you create will give you more clues about what actually caused the world to end. The actual process of finding signals and hijacking conversations is quite repetitive. This app is entertaining because of the stories. The fact that some people know that you're listening to their conversations makes it even more interesting. After listening to a few phone calls, you'll really want to know how the story ends and what happens to the characters involved. If you're the type who enjoys interactive stories and radio shows, you'll love FREEQ.

Battery Consumption in IOS
I don't know if this is specific to IOS7, hence my subject line did not reference IOS7 specifically. I am running IOS 7 on the 5S. I thought my battery was draining much faster than it should. I made all the settings adjustments recommended including the brightness setting at 0. I checked this morning and the brightness setting showed at 29%. I didn't adjust this setting. But I think the culprit here is the Auto Brightness setting which is on by default. A program must have been running which altered the brightness level based on Auto Brightness being on. I toggled that setting to Off, and thus far, brightness remains at 0%. My phone has been locked for about 2 hours, and the battery level has not dropped, so perhaps I'll get better battery life now. Hope this is helpful info. Les -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing viphone@googlegroups.com.

You can essentially travel through time and change the world. After a major disaster, there's only one society left on Earth. You can use your powerful tool to tune in to their dramatic conversations about affairs, arguments, experiments, and more. This is nothing like the games you're used to playing on your iPhone. There are plenty of instructions to read through before you get started. I do actually recommend reading them all so you don't find things confusing once you start searching for signals to hijack. Hijacking a phone line is done in two stages. The first involves tilting your phone until you find a signal and the second involves a switchboard where you have to decide who to connect with. If you don't make your decision quickly enough, you'll lose your signal and end up back at the first stage. The story you end up being a part of depends on who you connect with and when you make make the connections.

RE: Dictating without the dictation button -- how to do it?
Hi Kimber, The Dictate button is still there on my 4S where is always has been, just to the left of the spacebar when the virtual keyboard is visible. If you touch an edit field and hear Voiceover saying, for example, Search field, is editing, character mode, do a 2-finger double tap at this point and you should hear the tone to indicate that Dictation is listening. When you are done speaking do a 2-finger double tap again to stop dictation and insert the text. I find the increased screen sensitivity has it's bad moments, but one thing I find is that using the 2-finger double tap to start and stop dictation when I'm in an edit field or also to answer and hang up calls is a lot more reliable for me and somehow seems to be faster and more snappy.

I actually don't understand why Apple does not make this available to all iPhone users instead of restricting it to Voiceover users. They could have made Handwriting a keyboard choice so to speak. This way if you added the Handwriting keyboard to your list of keyboards, one could have simply tapped on the keyboard button at the bottom to switch to it, but maybe they have their reasons. Anyhow, I would like to know if somebody has figured out how to best insert a comma. I know of course I have to switch to the punctuation area and I have managed to figure out how to do most commonly used symbols like a period, semicolon, colon, question mark, exclamation mark, Dollar sign, @ symbol, underscore etc. I am still having a bit of trouble with a dash, if you draw a horizontal line across it always interprets it as an underscore. I don't think I managed to get a comma done more than once and I have no idea how I did it. If I simply draw a line down the screen it inserts this as a vertical line, if I give the line a bit of a curve it usually inserts a right parenthesis. Any explanations are appreciated.

Unfortunately the update did not go very smoothly over the air resulting in a bricked IPhone. Thankfully updating ITunes followed by a restore solved this issue though I was wondering if this was a sign of things to come. Luckily I can say the update to IOS 7 has been a very positive experience so far on my IPhone 5. If anything I feel many of the features such as typing are faster on the IPhone and it actually seems snappier which was a surprise. I haven't had too many problems with screen sensitivity. I have to say the bug when selecting multiple email messages wehre it says selected on the next message when you flick right is a bit irritating though. I wasn't that excited by a lot of the new features announced for IOS 7 but have been surprised how much I like many of them. The new app switcher is lovely to use and siri is massively improved. I also think I might use dictation more now you can just tap with two fingers once in an edit field. I've had a bit of a play with the handwriting mode feature but need to learn more letters first. It'd be great if there was a tutorial or description somewhere of how to do different letters for people who have never really learnt handwriting. I'm looking forward to Itunes Radio coming to the UK as well as hopefully different siri voices. For anyone still toying with the idea of updating I can understand why you are hesitant. All I can suggest is to read other people's views and then make a decision. However, from my experience IOS 7 hasn't been as bad as I thought it might be and there are a lot of surprisingly useful features which I think will make using my IPhone an easier and more pleasant experience.

Re: Braille does not work in Pages under iOS 7

The icons for things like tools, the word count, and all that read just fine, but when I was in the text area of the page, the display was blank.

RE: Facebook access problem
Hi Tessa, I use Facebook about twice a year when one of the few people I have on there sends me an email via Facebook instead of directly. Unfortunately Facebook and Twitter are 2 topics I know very little about because for the most part I consider them a waste of time, just my opinion. Hopefully somebody else who knows more can help you get these contacts back. I use Office 365 for my work email and Outlook.com for my personal email, so all my contacts are either on the Office 365 servers or on Outlook.com servers. This means if I have to do a restore or if I get a new device, all I do is set up my mail account and make sure Contacts are checked and within a short time they all download back to my device as does all my email. Furthermore, my email, contacts and calendar are always kept in sync between my iPhone, my laptop and my 2 work computers and I think nowadays using Outlook.com or gmail for this is totally the way to go.

Re: Handwriting - how to get a comma
Okay Sieghard, do tell! How on Earth did you get a colon? Each time I try, it gives me a period right after I touch the screen the second time. thanks, Cara :) On Sep 22, 2013, at 3:47 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello, I am quite intriqued by the new handwriting feature and have been practicing a bit. I have a feeling that if a person knows how to write which I do since I lost my sight at the age of almost 17, this could become a rather efficient method of text input. I actually don’t understand why Apple does not make this available to all iPhone users instead of restricting it to Voiceover users. They could have made Handwriting a keyboard choice so to speak. This way if you added the “Handwriting” keyboard to your list of keyboards, one could have simply tapped on the keyboard button at the bottom to switch to it, but maybe they have their reasons. Anyhow, I would like to know if somebody has figured out how to best insert a comma. I know of course I have to switch to the punctuation area and I have managed to figure out how to do most commonly used symbols like a period, semicolon, colon, question mark, exclamation mark, Dollar sign, @ symbol, underscore etc. I am still having a bit of trouble with a dash, if you draw a horizontal line across it always interprets it as an underscore. I don’t think I managed to get a comma done more than once and I have no idea how I did it. If I simply draw a line down the screen it inserts this as a “vertical line”, if I give the line a bit of a curve it usually inserts a right parenthesis. Any explanations are appreciated.

RE: App Store and updates. Not automatic.
Hi Jack, Just out of curiocity, what do you find annoying? I think of it as the opposite and quite like the fact I can go into the Updates tab and see exactly which apps updated in the last few days or weeks. In addition to that I find the apps store is much faster. A sighted friend who just updated his iPhone 4 said it used to take forever for the app store to load on his phone and he said in general his iPhone 4 is snappier with iOS 7 than it was with iOS 6.

RE: Folders and VoiceOver... is this a bug?
I'm not having this problem on my iPod Touch. If I have VoiceOver read the entire folder, it reads only the visible 9 apps, in order. I wonder if the iPad is showing more? Richard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Victor Marques Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2013 7:42 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Folders and VoiceOver... is this a bug? I'm wondering if this is a bug and if it's been reportedd or if others are having this issue forgive me if this has been mentioned already. Folders now have 9 apps per page and multiplle pages, I understand this. But when I open a folder, say with 15 apps, what VO reads for me is the first line of 3 apps, plus the 4th app which is on the 2nd page (not visible or available if I were to explore by touching the screen) and then it moves on to the 2nd line of 3 apps, plus the first app of line 2 on page 2, and then the same for line 3, so a total of 12 items are read. This shouldn't b happening, it should just read the 9 visible apps in my opinion., otherwise it makes it difficuult to find an app if you're not sure on which page it will be displayed. Are others having this issue? I'm on an iPad mini if that makes a difference. Thanks Victor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: First impressions of IOS 7
Hi Louise, You might have seen Alan's suggestion to do a hard reset by holding power and home buttons for 10 seconds before doing an upgrade. This I guess will do it, but there is in my opinion no reason for this if a normal reboot by turning the phone on and off will typically be quite sufficient. Rob from the Today in iOS Podcast recommends to go into Settings, General, Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. This will also reboot the phone, but I usually don't like to use this method since it normally means you have to re-enter your Wi-Fi passwords and while that is not a big deal for my home network, I have Wi-Fi passwords in there from when I am travelling and I prefer not to loose all of these. Rob furthermore suggests to also clear your app switcher completely, I generally also turn Bluetooth off before an upgrade, then I clear my app switcher, do a backup to iCloud and/or iTunes. Once all that is done I turn my phone off for about 30 seconds or a minute, then turn it back on and proceed with the update. I never had an update go wrong since I bought my first iDevice 4 years ago and it's something to remember for when the first iOS 7 update comes out and any future updates.

If you touch an edit field and hear Voiceover saying, for example, Search field, is editing, character mode, do a 2-finger double tap at this point and you should hear the tone to indicate that Dictation is listening. When you are done speaking do a 2-finger double tap again to stop dictation and insert the text. I find the increased screen sensitivity has it's bad moments, but one thing I find is that using the 2-finger double tap to start and stop dictation when I'm in an edit field or also to answer and hang up calls is a lot more reliable for me and somehow seems to be faster and more snappy.

I read a blog post that described how to do it and they made it sound like the greatest advancement ever, but I just can't get the hang of it. My phone never goes into dictation mode no matter what I do. I usually just end up moving the cursor or playing music or whatever. Can anyone give me a sep by sep description of how to get dictation going again? Thanks, Kimber -- Kimberly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Battery Consumption in IOS
I have not noticed any battery issues in ios7, just your normal stuff will drain it, like playing music, talking on the phone, brightness, etc. - Original Message - From: Les Kriegler kriegle...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 10:25 AM Subject: Battery Consumption in IOS I don't know if this is specific to IOS7, hence my subject line did not reference IOS7 specifically.

Re: Handwriting - how to get a comma
Seagood, Technically a dash is written with a space either side. Does this help you to achieve it?

I have a feeling that if a person knows how to write which I do since I lost my sight at the age of almost 17, this could become a rather efficient method of text input. I actually don’t understand why Apple does not make this available to all iPhone users instead of restricting it to Voiceover users. They could have made Handwriting a keyboard choice so to speak. This way if you added the “Handwriting” keyboard to your list of keyboards, one could have simply tapped on the keyboard button at the bottom to switch to it, but maybe they have their reasons. Anyhow, I would like to know if somebody has figured out how to best insert a comma. I know of course I have to switch to the punctuation area and I have managed to figure out how to do most commonly used symbols like a period, semicolon, colon, question mark, exclamation mark, Dollar sign, @ symbol, underscore etc. I am still having a bit of trouble with a dash, if you draw a horizontal line across it always interprets it as an underscore. I don’t think I managed to get a comma done more than once and I have no idea how I did it. If I simply draw a line down the screen it inserts this as a “vertical line”, if I give the line a bit of a curve it usually inserts a right parenthesis. Any explanations are appreciated.

Re: confusing new sound in iOS 7
Ok, I will try to explain it better. :) If I hold a finger on a letter in the keyboard too long, like say the letter, I get that sound and VO says selected and I don't understand what this is for or what is happening. However, if I select the letter E, VO announces alternative Characters available, slide your finger to discover alternative characters, lift to select a character and if I slide my finger around VO tells me what these characters are and I have no idea what they are. I am guessing this is some characters for languages other than English. For every letter on the keyboard the alternative characters are different unless it's like the letter R where there does not seem to be an alternative character. This whole thing baffles me though. :) Thanks, Christina -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: two finger double tap, and what plays in bard mobile

Moderator Note - Warning Messages -was- Re: Freeq by Psychic Bunny
HI John, Did you read the full note that Phil sent? I don't mean to sound upset with you, and please know that I really do appreciate your wanting to help. These types of alarmist messages are at best reckless and at worst damaging. this app is VO accessible if you read the description. So to all who post messages to this list, please read all your info before warning people away from something. Now that I've said that, if you have in fact done the above and have also found that the gesture mentioned in the app description does not work. Then please please please make that clear in your warning, and by all means post here. Does this make sense? I'd also encourage you to post to the developers if you find that their description is not accurate in terms of accessibility. However, as I've said above, if you have not done these steps, then please be more careful in future about posting such warning notes here. K? I know Phil, and I'm sure he is not posting something which is not accessible. So to all, please just remember to take a breath, and get your facts in order before posting. K? thanks a bunch to all of you. Thank you John, for being so actively involved and really wanting to help other listers here. I do honestly very much appreciate your desire to help! So thank you and have a great day! Smiles, Cara :) On Sep 22, 2013, at 7:20 AM, bj colt bjc...@blueyonder.co.uk wrote: Hi, Is this ap accessible? I downloaded it and had to sign up to on line games.

Rotor inconsistencies.
This is a really weird one, and I can't figure out why it's happening. I think it might be a bug. Anyhow, I put handwriting in my rotor, and I madean sure that it was the last item on the list. There are other items beneath it, but they are not selected. When I am in edit field, I used to be able to turn the rotor two characters, and then words, and then lines. Now it goes characters, handwriting, words, lines. Is anybody else having this issue? It's really really frustrating and driving me nuts, because I keep accidentally inputting characters. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Siri
Since upgrading to IOS7 I have noted a definitely lower standard of Siri's interpretation. Is this because Siri has started again from scratch for me, or something else? I have chosen to use the American female voice for Siri. Does this, perhaps, mean that my requests to Siri are being handled by a different server and not the one closest to me, thus a possible reason for the increase in errors?

However, if I select the letter E, VO announces alternative Characters available, slide your finger to discover alternative characters, lift to select a character and if I slide my finger around VO tells me what these characters are and I have no idea what they are. I am guessing this is some characters for languages other than English. For every letter on the keyboard the alternative characters are different unless it's like the letter R where there does not seem to be an alternative character.

I like how now the next keyboard button says the keyboard language, but not very helpful if when pressing on it, you’re taken to something else entirely.

Re: how to re name folders in ios 7 on the 4s?
Well, your statement begs the question why? Joseph - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2013 11:24 PM Subject: RE: how to re name folders in ios 7 on the 4s? Hi Joseph and Mich, I would strongly discourage anybody from using the custom label feature (double tap and hold) as Joseph described it to rename folders. You can properly rename a folder as follows: 1. Double tap on the folder to open it. 2. Do a 1-finger double tap and hold on either the folder name once the folder is open or on one of the apps in the folder. If you do it on one of the apps, let's say I have the Dropbox app in a folder called Business and Productivity, then the double tap and hold will put you into moving mode and Voiceover will say Moving Dropbox, Dropbox, is editing. If you do the double tap and hold on the folder, you have to do another double tap and hold to get into the actual editing mode. 3. If you did the gesture on an app, swipe left until you get to the folder name or the Clear All button which will clear the edit field completely. 4. Delete part of the folder name or clear the entire field with the Clear All button. 5. Type in what you want the folder to be called or do a 2-finger double tap to start Dictating if you have an iPhone 4S or above and speak the folder name. 6.

To rename a folder: Focus on a folder then execute a 2-finger double-tap and hold. You'll hear a cool little sound effect. Now you can rename your folder. When you have finished simply double-tap on save. I used this method to remove the word folder after every folder. Since I already know it's a folder, seems a bit redundant. Smile.

I just tonight spent about a hour and a bit dragging and dropping things in to some folders and creating them on my IPhone 4s with ios7. This was the first time I have dun this and I feel it went very well. I did have a question though. How do you go about re naming folders in ios7? I don't like some of the names that apple has for the folders and would like to re name them if at all possible. I also wish that apple would have a option where say if you have allot of games that instead of dragging and dropping them in to the games folder that it would just add them or be like a toggle where you could choose if you wanted to add this game to the games folder. from Mich. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Weather widget and current temperature in iOS 7
While I have managed to get the weather widget to show in the today view of the notification center, the current temperature seems to be missing. Can anyone confirm this, or am I experiencing an anomaly? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: More on iOS seven
Regarding your complaints below, you were warned over and over as to the possible repercussions of an upgrade. Maybe the lead tech at Apple didn't call you personally, but you have been here during a previous IOS upgrade, so you should know what to expect. On the issue of the time, press the power button and wait for the time to be spoken. It takes a second longer, but it is definitely speaking properly. Most early adopters are not going through the misery you are conveying. Also, all this is new, and most of the perceived problems are more likely user error and not necessarily problems with the new version of IOS.

Now if I install a new version of IOs, but it has bugs, and a lot of issues that I am reading that happen to me and to bunches of members of this list. Why apple doesn't allow me, to return back to the Ios6, to the IOs that I had that was working? Now I am not able to read the time, I have to unlock the phone, I have to find the clock with my finger, and get the time. Before I just push the power button, and I got the time. Before I was going to the notification center, and I had the weather right there. Now I have to do a lot of steps to read it. Before voice over respond very quick, now it works very slow. before when I open an app, my phone respond fast, and consistence, now it works so slow, and some times the apps just doesn't open. I think that the idea when a company create new versions of operated systems, is to improve the functionality, but the reality is different. Any way, if the Ios 7 is good or if it is bad, it is not the issue. I am a customer that is not satisfied with how my product works with the last update. I want that the product that I bought 1 years ago, works like it was doing when I bought it, because the last update is giving me problems. It is a right that I have like customer. I want my product, working, if they did mistakes, bugs, and things that they need to fix, they should let me use the operates system that I had before, until they fix what ever they have to fix. That I am saying is that Apple should let me downgrade my iPhone, until they fix what ever they did wrong. - Original Message - From: Raul A.

However I seem to recall that you sent this list a ton of messages about how you didn't want to upgrade to iOS 6 because of bugs. Then you upgraded to iOS 6 and you kept asking the list how to revert back to iOS 5. Now it seems you are doing the same with iOS 7 in wanting to go back to iOS 6. I just don't get it. If you don't want to risk the new bugs introduced with a new iOS, then wait like you did with iOS 6 until a newer iOS 7, maybe iOS 7.01 or something is out. Just a friendly suggestion. -- Raul A.

I don't know, I don't see it fir. I pay a device, so if they provide a upgrade, an operated system, that doesn't work for me, but the previous operated system that my device worked well. Why is fir that apple doesn't allow me to go back to the operated system that was working for me when I bought the device? I would like to ask to my lawyer is it is legal, or what kind of law frame work can I use to improve it for the customers.

Unfortunately Apple has blocked that ability now. You were able to revert when iOS seven beta was out. But with the public release of iOS 7 you can't. Apple operating system is still the most accessible application on the market. But there are definite bugs in it compared to iOS 6. Why Apple doesn't put voice over features through a more rigorous testing process I don't know. But here are a compilation of the problems I have experienced thus far. Many have discussed the jerkiness of voiceover. IT will have experienced this. I have an iPhone five and iOS seven. To be more specific it occurs
