Re: Transferring contacts, saved emails, music etc
The one issue I have with using iCloud for backups is that you can't control which versions of your apps you'll be restoring. When you restore from iCloud, the most recent version of the apps are installed on your phone. If this isn't a problem then you're probably fine to use iCloud for your backup solution.

I purchased a Jawbone Up24 in August 2013, while in a dialogue with Jawbon regarding the accessibility of their app. the nice lady I spoke with didn’t know much about VoiceOver, but she tested the app for me prior to purchase and felt it would work. It turned out to be unuseable, and while Jawbone told me they would be investigating this further, I decided to return the Jawbone Up because the app needed a huge amount of work to make it VoiceOver friendly. I told Jawbone I would purchase the Up again if the app became accessible, but I ended up going with the Fitbit Flex instead, because of the accessibility. Fitbit is the most accessible wearable technology I have tried. I do keep the Up app on my phone to try to keep an eye on accessibility improvements, but so far, there have been none. I would recommend returning the Up and going with Fitbit. They have a couple of new armbands out that can keep track of even your heart rate, and they know when you are sleeping without your having to put them in sleep mode. I can’t say for sure that these are accessible, but they don’t require a separate app from the app that all their other trackers use, as far as I know, so I’m assuming they would be.

In my opinion, without sighted assistance, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to even get the app setup properly. Even after setup, many of the app's most exciting feedback features are not VoiceOver accessible. Is anyone using this device? And if so, have you found many workarounds? Perhaps you use the device with a different app that works with the tracker, if so, please advise. It's funny, a friend of mine, who is also a VoiceOver user, tells me that the FitBit app is marvelously VoiceOver accessible and she uses it with her Fitbit Flex.

Re: Can anyone recommend a good external battery for Iphone 6?
I have experience with this external battery. Powerocks magic stick. You can charge the iPhone five almost twice from a dead battery. This external battery feels and works great, it is about the diameter of a US quarter and about 2 inches tall.it has an aluminum casing. http://www.amazon.com/Powerocks-Magicstick-2600mAh-Universal-Extended/dp/B008L488KQ I also posted about some new external batteries that were presented on CES 2015 on my Facebook fan page. www.facebook.com/theblindman12v Regards, Feliciano Like my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/theblindman12v Follow me on Twitter: Www.twitter.com/theblindman12v Sent from the Super-iPhone On Jan 12, 2015, at 4:07 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: The iPhone 6 hhas an 1,800 MAH battery and if you wwant to be able to charge it from 20% when you get the first low battery warning back all the way to 100%, I would recommend that you buy at least a 2,500 or 3,000 |MAH battery. You can get models with that capacity that are about the size of a tube of lipstick or maybe slightly larger. If you want something which also would work if you are travelling where you may want to charge your phone 2 or 3 times, you have to get something that is maybe 10,000 or 12,000 MAH. In terms of brands I would consider anker or LimeFuel, both have good reviews, especially Anker, I think their website is iAnker.com and you can find them on Amazon. They make external batteries all the way to 25,000 MAH. Jonathan just tweeted a link to a battery from a company called iBattz which they showed off at the Consumer Electronics Show which just recently took place in las Vegas. At first it sounded like the battery was supposed to fully charge an iPhone 6 in 15 minutes. This of course is nonsense and the claim was later updated to say that the external battery itself can be fully charged in 15 minutes. That still is impressive, even if you realize in the morning your battery wasn't charged, you can plug it in while you have your coffee and brush your teeth and by the time you are done it should be basically fully charged.

RE: can't type on my iphone 5
Hi Jed, Do you normally use touch typing or standard typing? If you are used to touch typing and accidently switched to standard typing it may appear like what you described. In standard typing you have to find a character and then either do a double tap or split tap to type it. Your very hard tap may register as a double tap some of the time and then the letter would get typed. Go into an edit field and turn the rotor to Typing Mode, then make sure it's set to the typing style you prefer, you switch between the typing modes by flicking up or down with one finer when the rotor is on typing mode. After you have it where you want it make sure to turn the rotor back to characters or words because otherwise it gets changed again.

RE: I'm back
Did you not get my email I sent directly? I outlined what you need to do in iTunes and as long as you didn't turn on Find my iPhone during the setup process you should be able to restore the phone. The main thing is to use the Tab or F6 keys in iTunes. Once your phone is connected, use Control+F to go to the search box as a reference/starting point. Now tab until you get to more, then one more tab after that should put you on iPhone and you have to activate this button to access your phone. Give it a bit and then use F6 a few times or just tab a lot. I mean a lot, I believe if you only tab it will take about 40 tabs to get to the Restore button, but if your phone is connected and recognized and you are in your device area and not the library area, then tabbing will eventually get you to the Restore button. If you do find it and get a message that Find my iphone needs to be turned off first you are in a bit more trouble. I believe you can turn this off via the www.iCloud.com website, but it is very poorly accessible ynd you would probably need sighted help for that. The other option I think is to force the phone into what is called DFU mode, but maybe somebody who has done this can outline the exact steps. Anyhow, if find my iPhone is not on then you should be able to Restore it without problem and start over. Make sure next time you do know the 4-digit code and I would also recommend you set up Touch Id as it's a snap to unlock your phone with your finger print. You will, however, still need to know the PIN since if you need to reboot yoru phone or if you do an iOS update you will first have to unlock it once with the 4-digit PIN before touch Id works again and also if you ever want to change the PIN or rescan your finger print, you will have to provide the PIN.

Unfortunately the only app that will let you access Blackboard on your phone is Mobile Learn. That's pretty intentional, if I remember correctly, and even sighted folks say for the best experience, use an actual computer.

Hi, You're doing very well indeed with the 4S and there's no reason why you shouldn't continue that way.

Alex wrote: Upgrading would give you a better camera, larger screen, faster processor/graphics chip, NFC for using Apple Pay, a longer battery life, upgraded Touch ID sensor, and improved internal LTE radio. *The last one gives you access to HD calls, faster LTE speeds, and more, but all of those require your carrier to support the features, and not many do right now. HD calls also require the other person to be using a device that can also handle the new technology. The Plus offers all that, plus a yet larger screen, more ram, a way longer battery life, and automatic stabilization for taking pictures.

RE: Can anyone recommend a good external battery for Iphone 6?
The iPhone 6 hhas an 1,800 MAH battery and if you wwant to be able to charge it from 20% when you get the first low battery warning back all the way to 100%, I would recommend that you buy at least a 2,500 or 3,000 |MAH battery. You can get models with that capacity that are about the size of a tube of lipstick or maybe slightly larger. If you want something which also would work if you are travelling where you may want to charge your phone 2 or 3 times, you have to get something that is maybe 10,000 or 12,000 MAH. In terms of brands I would consider anker or LimeFuel, both have good reviews, especially Anker, I think their website is iAnker.com and you can find them on Amazon. They make external batteries all the way to 25,000 MAH. Jonathan just tweeted a link to a battery from a company called iBattz which they showed off at the Consumer Electronics Show which just recently took place in las Vegas. At first it sounded like the battery was supposed to fully charge an iPhone 6 in 15 minutes. This of course is nonsense and the claim was later updated to say that the external battery itself can be fully charged in 15 minutes. That still is impressive, even if you realize in the morning your battery wasn't charged, you can plug it in while you have your coffee and brush your teeth and by the time you are done it should be basically fully charged.

RE: Request for a recommendation for a bluetooth headset
I’ve got a Plantronics M50, Aventree Jogger and Aftershox Bluez2. I use the Jogger headset for working out on the bike and elyptical and whatnot since I don’t care if I get those all sweaty, the Bluez2 throughout the day for business calls so I don’t have my ears covered up all the time and the Plantronics for when I’m out and about and also at home. The Joggers are bhel as far as soun, but get the job done. Bluez2 are nice and sound is better, but I always find myself going to my Plantronics. It’s only for one ear, but the one main feature I like that I appreciate the most is being able to turn the device on and off with the flick of a switch. It connects fast and without any fuss. The other headsets you have to press and hold a button for a few seconds to turn them on and off. Not the end of the world, but I find the convenience and speed of the toggle switch on my trusty M50 super convenient. VoiceOver works fine with the M50 too. This is one feature that is going to be at the top of my must have list for whenever I decide on a bluetooth headset in the future.

Plantronix voyager Legend headset question
Hi all, I now have the Plantronix voyager Legend headset, and it seems I have muted the microphone so I can’t talk or give it a voice command. if I try to make a call, it keeps saying “mute on.” I saw a review of this on applevis that said the mute button is the same as the vioce button, which gets you into the vioce commands interface, and it said that when on a call, I can press that button to unmute, but it is not unmuting. It just keeps saying mute on or beeping. also, the review said that you press the button once to unmute or hold it down for the voice command interface. Problem here is I don’t have to hold it down for the command interface to come up; I press it and it says say a command immediately. of course, I can’t actually give it one because it is muted. any help would be appreciated. obviously, something isn’t right here. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Some accessibility notes on why you might consider the larger screen of the 6 Plus, taken from my article at: http://www.applevis.com/blog/apple-carriers-ios-iphone-news/recap-and-opinions-apples-fall-2014-announcements One thing the article doesn't mention is that the iPhone 6 Plus supports the Perkins style layout for braille screen input, no flattened V shape necessary. Some users also find that typing with the regular on-screen keyboard (in landscape mode) is a joy, almost like typing on a small hardware keyboard. I don't have a 6 Plus so can't comment personally. Anyway, here's the excerpt: The larger screen seems to many people to be, at first, a non-issue at best and an annoyance at worst. If you can't see the screen, why would you want to use a phone that has a huge one (I'm looking at you, 6 Plus)? You have to figure out where to put this massive device, get used to your apps being even bigger, figure out new layouts… Why bother? Aside from the fact that the iPhone 6 is actually not much larger than the 5S (the screen is larger, but there is less of a bezel), I can come up with a few reasons: a.. The larger screen means a larger phone, which means a larger battery. The battery life on the iPhone 6 is better than the 5S, and the 6 Plus battery is better than the 6. This is a win for all users, especially if you rely on battery-draining GPS or audio apps. b.. You have more room on the screen for touch. If you are someone who touches things instead of flicking to them, you might find you enjoy having more content (especially on webpages) available to you on a single screen. Even if you flick instead of touch, you will be able to fit more text from, say, an iBooks or Kindle book. That means more time between that pause while the page is turned. c.. Low vision users will love this. Magnification apps, zoom, larger text, and similar apps and services will have more room to play with, letting users see more at once instead of needing to scroll so much. d.. Another win for low vision users is Display Zoom, which will shrink the current app down to a smaller size, then zoom it to the full size of the iPhone's screen. This sounds confusing, but it has the effect of making an app larger and easier to see. e.. If you use Apple Maps, Ariadne, or other apps that offer accessible maps on the screen, you will have a lot more room to explore said maps, even when zoomed in. f.. The iPhone 6 Plus supports special landscape views in certain apps. For instance, in Mail, switching to landscape mode will show the list of messages on the left, and the currently open message on the right, similar to an iPad. You might find this increased content on a single screen more efficient. g..

So am looking at either the 6 or 6+. So can anyone tell me of any pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages related to either of these phones? Does anyone have a view on which one works better? Which one is easier for someone with no sight at all to deal with? Are there any big problems with either of them which I need to be aware of? Are there any major differences between the 5S and either the 6 or 6+ which I need to know about? Any other useful information anyone can give me about them? Sorry for all the questions which are probably really obvious I know, but I really want to go into the phone shop able to make an informed choice which is sensible and which will work for me. So any advice at all really very much appreciated. Thanks. Eleanor Sent from my iPad -- Christopher (CJ)

RE: Plantronix voyager Legend headset question
One other option would be to try holding down both the buttons on the microphone stick portion (near where it swivels) for 10 to 12 seconds. Try it under both power on and power off conditions. This approach worked for me once when the thing seemed dead. Brought it back to life and it’s been working fine since.

Hi all, In my opinion, none of them are worth their money. Unreliable at very best. I've thecked the same thing up to 10 times and got 10 different colours.

It just keeps saying mute on or beeping. also, the review said that you press the button once to unmute or hold it down for the voice command interface. Problem here is I don’t have to hold it down for the command interface to come up; I press it and it says say a command immediately. of course, I can’t actually give it one because it is muted. any help would be appreciated. obviously, something isn’t right here. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Query re upgrading to IPhone 6 or 6+?
Hi, Its just the same as using a 4S or 5. In screen away mode, It doesn't matter about the screen size so you can touch near each end if you want. You don't have to try to reach the centre of the screen. Cheers, Brett.

If you don't use it on a tabletop, or in tabletop mode on your knees, however do you manage to hold it and get your fingers still to fit properly across the screen? I was having a bit of a play today with the 6 and 6plus but I really don't quite envisage how I'll braille well and easily as I don't want to use table top mode or to work on a table. Please give me your experiences on this one. Carol P - Original Message - From: Alex Hall To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2015 4:09 PM Subject: Re: Query re upgrading to IPhone 6 or 6+? Some accessibility notes on why you might consider the larger screen of the 6 Plus, taken from my article at: http://www.applevis.com/blog/apple-carriers-ios-iphone-news/recap-and-opinions-apples-fall-2014-announcements One thing the article doesn't mention is that the iPhone 6 Plus supports the Perkins style layout for braille screen input, no flattened V shape necessary. Some users also find that typing with the regular on-screen keyboard (in landscape mode) is a joy, almost like typing on a small hardware keyboard. I don't have a 6 Plus so can't comment personally. Anyway, here's the excerpt: The larger screen seems to many people to be, at first, a non-issue at best and an annoyance at worst. If you can't see the screen, why would you want to use a phone that has a huge one (I'm looking at you, 6 Plus)? You have to figure out where to put this massive device, get used to your apps being even bigger, figure out new layouts… Why bother? Aside from the fact that the iPhone 6 is actually not much larger than the 5S (the screen is larger, but there is less of a bezel), I can come up with a few reasons: The larger screen means a larger phone, which means a larger battery. The battery life on the iPhone 6 is better than the 5S, and the 6 Plus battery is better than the 6. This is a win for all users, especially if you rely on battery-draining GPS or audio apps. You have more room on the screen for touch. If you are someone who touches things instead of flicking to them, you might find you enjoy having more content (especially on webpages) available to you on a single screen. Even if you flick instead of touch, you will be able to fit more text from, say, an iBooks or Kindle book. That means more time between that pause while the page is turned. Low vision users will love this. Magnification apps, zoom, larger text, and similar apps and services will have more room to play with, letting users see more at once instead of needing to scroll so much. Another win for low vision users is Display Zoom, which will shrink the current app down to a smaller size, then zoom it to the full size of the iPhone's screen. This sounds confusing, but it has the effect of making an app larger and easier to see. If you use Apple Maps, Ariadne, or other apps that offer accessible maps on the screen, you will have a lot more room to explore said maps, even when zoomed in. The iPhone 6 Plus supports special landscape views in certain apps. For instance, in Mail, switching to landscape mode will show the list of messages on the left, and the currently open message on the right, similar to an iPad. You might find this increased content on a single screen more efficient.

This atleast clears much of it's confusion most the time, unless there's a real error or fault. As for the first question:- Open app store or iTunes... I'm presuming on an iOs device, and then double tap the Featured tab in the bottom-left, and then go right to the end of that section, I do it by placing finger in the bottom-left corner where it says Featured, then flick to the left from there to work back up the text; it is only about 3 flicks back where it says Apple id: and gives your id; that is a button to double tap and you will have to give your apple id password to check, or change anything.

Re: Looking for time/clock app that also has vibration option
Hey Wayne. Sorry I'm coming into this late, I've been sick these past couple of days. Still am. There used to be an app that did what you want it to do. It was called Chime. I say that there used to be because it's no longer in the app store. It was pretty good. You could set it to make sounds, have a female voice say the time and even have Alex say the time. They call him a male voice only but you could tell that it was Alex. It's such a good app that I'll never remove it from my iPhone because I know I'll never find it in the app store.

I am looking for a time and/or clock app that will also let me know the time via vibration. I have had some issues with my braille watch recently and have thought off and on about an alternative. If the app could be used with vibration only then that might be helpful in places where having VoiceOver speak would not be good, such as in a meeting. Also, though this may be wishful thinking, if I could get the time in vibration from the lock screen that would be handy as well, perhaps with a gesture. In doing some searching on the AppleVis site, I found an app that looks to fit the bill but it is listed as a jailbreak app, which wouldn't work for me since I have not jailbroken my phone. I have an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 for what that's worth.
