Re: Safari: Read list, RSS (Social) Feeds

2016-08-28 Thread Arnold Schmidt

You are correct, in that entries in the reading list area cannot be deleted 
using VoiceOver. It has been this way for quite a while now. For this reason, I 
no longer use it. I definitely would use the reading list if I could delete 
items from it.

Hi!

I hope this is called Read List in English, I use my phone in Croatian so I'm 
improvising xD.

I'm talking about the option in Safari to add pages I want to read later or 
offline to Read or Reading List. I can successfuly add some pages there but I'm 
not able to delete them. When I flick up or down I hear Delete but when I 
confirm it with double tap nothing happens. Can someone clarify on this one?

The other one is Social Links or however is it called, it is in the same place 
as Reading List, just another tab. I have imported some sites there and as in 
previous topic, I can't delete them. Here I don't even get the option to 
delete. I'm noticing there's always just a hundreed of items so I believe this 
works as FIFO but Icould use confirmation on this.

Thanks!

 Now that we are so close to the release of iOS 10, I decided to take a 
 flyer on the beta using my iPad too. I should say my iPad mini two, since 
 I don't know that the iPad 2 is even eligible for this beta, and in any 
 case, I don't have an iPad too. So I would like to hear from someone off 
 the list who might be able to shed light on the following. I went to the 
 beta site and went to sign up with my Apple ID. I very carefully entered 
 my Apple ID and very carefully entered my password. I was told either my 
 ID or password was incorrect. I have repeated this process twice more 
 being extremely careful each time. And each time the result is the same. I 
 have had and used this Apple ID ever since I got my first device years 
 ago. And I have never had a problem with it, nor have I changed the 
 password. The many hundreds of dollars worth of stuff I bought from the 
 various stores attest to the fact that I have had no problem entering my 
 password upon request. Smile. I don't think I am missing a step, that is 
 something I would have to do before trying to sign up for the beta with my 
 ID. I didn't see anything on the first page of the beta site. So can 
 someone who has done this please enlighten me as to what I may be doing 
 wrong.

RE: need iPhone app works well with scale

I received the below from the Qardio support team a few months back. I haven't 
explored this further, but it may be of interest to you. These are the folks 
that provide the QardioArm Blood Pressure cuff that I and others use here with 
some success Their scale is called QardioBase..

Keith

Thank you for emailing Qardio.

QardioBase works fairly well for people with vision impairments, with the 
exception of one feature.

The feature that allows setting weight goals is currently not working well with 
VoiceOver. 
We are unhappy about that, and we are working on a re-design of the screen that 
allows you to set weight goals, so that it works great for everyone.

Every other feature works well with VoiceOver.

Using QardioBase with vision impairments:

- Weight and body composition measurements are visualized immediately on your 
iPhone and VoiceOver can read the measurement for you

- QardioBase has haptic feedback, so after the measurement you feel the scale 
vibrating under your feet to inform you that the measurement is completed.

- stepping on the scale: QardioBase is round, most scales on the market today 
are round or square. QardioBase, however, has a round feature on its top that 
indicates the back of the scale for you - the side on which your heels should 
be.
You can clearly feel this feature with your feet, it's 1mm think and about the 
size of the inner circle you create by touching the tips of your thumb and 
index fingers. 

Once you have the correct orientation of the scale, you can just step on it.

If you have large feet, having your toes "sticking out" does not affect the 
accuracy of the measurements.

Here is an older post by AFB about our commitment to make our products work 
great with VoiceOver:
http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw170101 

I hope this answers your questions.

If we can help with anything else, just let us know, we’ll be glad to help.

RE: E-Mail Client

2016-08-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Richard,

You can delete individual messages although I think when you double tap on a 
thread and the rotor is turned to messages that once you flick to a particular 
message the delete button at the bottom in the middle should just delete this 
message and not prompt you to delete the entire thread. Anyhow, here is how you 
can delete individual messages:

When you are in the Inbox and come to a thread/conversation with several 
messages, don’t double tap on it. Instead with your rotor on “Actions” which 
should be the default, flick down until you get to an item called “Expand 
Thread”.
Double tap on that and now the thread will expand and all the messages are now 
actually just showing up in whichever mailbox you are in as individual 
messages. They continue to do so until you go back to the first message, flick 
down to “Collapse Thread” and double tap.
Now you can swipe to any message in the thread, flick up or down to “Delete” in 
the actions rotor and double tap to delete the message you are on.

if you double tap on any of the messages in the thread to open/read it you now 
are back in the conversation and the messages option is there on the rotor and 
you can flick up and down to move through your messages.
The delete button at the bottom of a message once again prompts you to “Trash 
Messages” which means if you do so all messages/the entire thread will be 
deleted.

I just realized as I am writing this that my phone locked on me and after I 
unlock it it lost focus on where I was in the list and when I scrolled down 
again to the message I tested this on it was still expanded. Also, leaving the 
Mail app and going back to the home screen and then opening mail again left it 
expanded.
Only when I closed the mail app in the app switcher and then reopened it was 
the thread collapsed again.
Of course you can always go to the first message of the thread and flick down 
to “Collapse” and double tap to manually collapse the messages back to a single 
entry which contains all the messages of that thread.

It takes a bit of getting used to, but I quite like how Apple has done this 
with the exception of the delete button in an open message, I think that should 
let you delete the individual message you are in as well.

Sieghard

The only thing I do not like about the new threading method with the message 
item in the rotor, is that if you chose to use threading, and you want to

experimenting with that feature, I have not found a way to just delete one 
message in a thread, or to delete all but one, however you want to look at it.

Preview is what a sighted person would see next to each message in their 
list of emails, such as your in box. With VoiceOver, you'll hear the 
preview read after a slight pause, if you have hints turned on in 
VoiceOver. This way you can hear a bit of the message and determine if 
you want to read it, move it to a folder or delete it without actually 
opening it up.


To pull up a link, you should just be able to double tap on the link.

Subject: RE: Where is the "send" button?

Hi Jewell and Deidre,

Just as a small correction, it is actually not "the third line". Yes, you have 
to swipe twice from
the Cancel button to get to Send, but visually Cancel, the email subject and 
Send are all on the
same line.

When you have composed an email in the Mail app or are replying to one, the 
Send button is more or
less at the top right corner. Cancel is at the top left and in the middle is a 
heading which when
you compose a new message says "New Message" at first, as soon as you typed a 
subject it will say
whatever it is you typed as the subject or whatever the subject is of the email 
you are replying to.
I say the send button is "more or less" at the top right corner because just a 
tiny bit above it and
all the way across the device from left to right is a button that is announced as 
"Minimize Draft".
If you started a message and want to finish it later, you can double tap it and 
it will save the
message as a draft and go back to the main mailbox you were in.
So, visually you have your status bar at the top with the time, battery level 
on the right and so
on.
Underneath and all the way across is the "Minimize Draft" button. If you were 
to touch the time and
slowly drag your finger down along the right side of the phone you would find 
it, but you would also
find it if you touch the time in the middle and drag down or if you touch the 
carrier logo/signal
strength on the left and drag down as it goes all the way across.
Underneath that on the next line is "Cancel" at the left", "New Message or Message 
Subject" in the
middle and "Send" on the right.
If you touch the time and drag down past Minimize Draft you next get to Send.
If you want to swipe and are, for example, on Cancel, then you can swipe left 
once to get to the
Minimize Draft button, you can swipe right twice to get to Send.

Sieghard

Duo is meant to be a video calling app. Maybe they'll allow for voice calls 
only at some point, maybe they won't. There are of course plenty of options for 
Voip voice calls, the most obvious and extremely accessible one would be Skype, 
then there is Facetime Audio if you have people who also have iPhones, Facebook 
allows for voice and video calls and Whats App allows for voice calls. Of all 
the ones I mentioned Skype is the only one where you can also make calls to 
regular phone numbers without the person having a Skype account, but that of

You could use a VOIP app, like Skype, Duo or other apps.

If your phone and your carrier supports wifi calling then you can make and 
receive texts and calls over wifi when you don't have cellular service. When 
I've used it it's just been automatic and transparent. I'm not sure if you can 
force a call to go over wifi calling even if you have a good cell connection.

Okay let me ask this then.
How do you turn off your cell radio on your phone so you can use wi-phi calling 
instead if you would like to try it out?

Hi Richard and David,

First of all, the fourth generation Apple TV also supports Bluetooth keyboards. 
It did not when it was first released, but a later TVOS updated added Bluetooth 
keyboard support.
Once the TVOS 10 update is released in a few weeks there is also single sign-in 
although I am not sure how this works if, for example, you use different 
passwords for let’s say Netflix, Youtube and Hulu.
The Apple TV Fourth Generation is available with 32 Gb internal storage for 
$199 US and with 64 Gb for $249. This storage is for downloading apps and so 
on, you cannot record shows with the fourth generation Apple TV nor could you 
with previous versions.
As Richard already said, apps like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube and so on are all 
free. I would imagine that pretty much all apps which require a subscription 
would offer the app for free. Keep in mind that at this point many apps you can 
get on the Apple TV require a cable subscription to work and do not offer a 
stand-along subscription via the Apple TV. I believe this is the case with 
Disney.
I am pretty sure you can watch and get a subscription for the mlb network via 
the Apple TV.
I think for anybody who watches a fair bit of TV the Apple TV may not yet be a 
satisfactory replacement although I really like ours and think it’s a 
worthwhile item to have for anybody who is involved in the Apple ecosystem and 
especially if you want a beautifully accessible platform for Netflix, Youtube 
and so on.
. There have been rumours that apple is negotiating with major content 
providers so they can offer an A La Card TV service where you can pay for 
channels you want without being forced to subscribe to channel bundles which 
may include stuff you never watch. However, it does not look like Apple is even 
close to reaching agreements with these content providers and one theory I 
heard is that Apple thinks they are top dog and approach these negotiations 
with a fair bit of ssuperiority and self-importance thinking these major 
content providers which are huge companies also are going to fall to their 
knees thanking Apple for what they want to do and offer them killer deals. 
Apparently this is not so and the two sides are still miles apart from reaching 
an agreement as to how this would work.

Sieghard

In short, not all, or even most, shows on the major networks are available on 
Netflix.
Sometimes you wait a year or more before a TV series shows up on Netflix.
All the ones you mentioned, Netflix, Hulu, and MLB, are subscriptions. The apps 
are free, but only useful with a paid subscription.
If you get the Apple TV, you will be able to use the VoiceOver feature to enter 
your login information for the various subscriptions.
With the 3rd Generation Apple TV, you could also sync a Bluetooth keyboard, 
which made account info entry much easier.
That's what I think I know.
HTH,
Richard

RE: need iPhone app works well with scale

2016-08-28 Thread Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.
Hi,

I don't use the Health app, but did go in and check. Qardio was listed as an 
app there, and there was at least one blood pressure reading. There wouldn't be 
any other way for a blood pressure reading to get there if it wasn't through 
QardioArm. So, yes, I'm pretty sure that at least the QardioArm talks to the 
Health app.

Let us know what else you find out.

Do you know if the cardio scale and blood pressure monitor sync data with iOS's 
Health app? This scale sounds really good from an accessibility standpoint. I 
think I'll go look for it on-line and see what reviews have to say about it in 
a more general sense.

RE: calendar

2016-08-28 Thread Ann Byrne
So.  I set a calendar item for 7:00 this evening both on my iPhone 
calendar and on Fantastical.  and neither one notified me.


The phone was supposed to notify me an hour in advance.

How do I make notifications happen?

At 06:56 PM 8/20/2016, you wrote:

Some people find the native Calendar app just fine.

I personally prefer Fantastical 2 for the iPhone.

I find it better to use for many reasons.  It draws all your 
appointments from the native iPhone app so if you set an appointment 
with Siri, it shows up in Fantastical.
But, the biggest advantage is that I like the way it displays your 
appointments better and if you write a logical sentence in the 
create an event field, it puts the information in correctly.

Something like:
Dr. Jones on September 9 at 10:00 AM
Or,
Book club on the second Friday of every month at 7:00 PM.

Question for a beta user with an iPad for off list response

2016-08-28 Thread Mary Otten
Hi all,
I am not on any of the beta lists, and since we are apparently so close to the 
release, and there was just recently a report that subscribing takes a very 
long time, I thought I would post a question here and ask for a response off 
list. I'm not going to post anything about the actual beta. But if there is 
someone on this list who is running the beta of iOS 10 and using an iPad of any 
flavor, would you mind writing me off list so I can ask you a couple of 
questions. Thank you. 
 Mary

~Re: Where is the "send" button?

2016-08-28 Thread Jewel
Sieghard! My head is spinning with all that information, so as it is unlikely 
that I will be able to 
assimilate it all in one session, it will be saved in my "invaluable info" 
folder.

I am making some headway in understanding this new gizmo and have, with some 
success, sent a couple 
of emails, and received a couple as well.
In message settings, I have set it to keep messages for 30 days before 
deleting, so that should give 
me plenty of time to get a grasp of what I am doing.
What does preview mean?  I have it set for 5 lines.
When I turned the phone on this morning, I was told that I had 1 unread email , 
but in that one, my 
correspondent made reference to having sent 2 earlier ones, which I, 
eventually, did  tracked down, 
that contained the link to a YouTube movie.  How does one activate a link on 
the iPhone?
With my hearing getting worse, I find it difficult to pick up what vo is 
saying:  I have speech set 
at 45% so that does not need to be adjusted, but I would like to read  sentence 
by sentence, and 
then be able to go back to reread them.
I have the rotor set to characters which suits me as I use that setting to 
check clues in Word 
Ladder, so do I have to reset it from characters to sentences when I read an 
email and then reset it 
to characters when I play WL?

Subject: RE: Where is the "send" button?

Hi Jewell and Deidre,

Just as a small correction, it is actually not "the third line". Yes, you have 
to swipe twice from 
the Cancel button to get to Send, but visually Cancel, the email subject and 
Send are all on the 
same line.

When you have composed an email in the Mail app or are replying to one, the 
Send button is more or 
less at the top right corner. Cancel is at the top left and in the middle is a 
heading which when 
you compose a new message says "New Message" at first, as soon as you typed a 
subject it will say 
whatever it is you typed as the subject or whatever the subject is of the email 
you are replying to.
I say the send button is "more or less" at the top right corner because just a 
tiny bit above it and 
all the way across the device from left to right is a button that is announced 
as "Minimize Draft". 
If you started a message and want to finish it later, you can double tap it and 
it will save the 
message as a draft and go back to the main mailbox you were in.
So, visually you have your status bar at the top with the time, battery level 
on the right and so 
on.
Underneath and all the way across is the "Minimize Draft" button. If you were 
to touch the time and 
slowly drag your finger down along the right side of the phone you would find 
it, but you would also 
find it if you touch the time in the middle and drag down or if you touch the 
carrier logo/signal 
strength on the left and drag down as it goes all the way across.
Underneath that on the next line is "Cancel" at the left", "New Message or 
Message Subject" in the 
middle and "Send" on the right.
If you touch the time and drag down past Minimize Draft you next get to Send.
If you want to swipe and are, for example, on Cancel, then you can swipe left 
once to get to the 
Minimize Draft button, you can swipe right twice to get to Send.


Regards,
Sieghard

Is there an easy way to select games to hear in the NFL Mobile app, and how do you turn off scores?

2016-08-28 Thread Kevin Minor
Hi.

I've had this issue for the past couple of weeks.  I select the Games TAB, and 
then the fun begins.  I have to touch the middle of the iPhone 6S plus screen 
to get to the games, then I have to flick right and left numerous times to get 
to the feed I want.  Also, the scores of the games are displayed, even with 
this option turned off in Settings.  I tried turning it on and back off with no 
change.

Anybody have any ideas about working with this app?  It is useable, but it 
isn't much fun.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard, and thanks for any ideas.

Re: need iPhone app works well with scale

Do you know if the cardio scale and blood pressure monitor sync data with iOS's

You could use a VOIP app, like Skype, Duo or other apps.

If your phone and your carrier supports wifi calling then you can make
and receive texts and calls over wifi when you don't have cellular
service. When I've used it it's just been automatic and transparent. I'm
not sure if you can force a call to go over wifi calling even if you
have a good cell connection.

Re: Need opinions about waiting for iPhone 7 or getting SE

2016-08-28 Thread Mary Otten
I also think it's good that Apple supports their devices as long as they do, at 
least most of them. As the owner of a first generation iPad, I can say that 
this isn't always true, sigh. Anyway, given the cost of iPhones, it is good 
that they are generally supported for several years.

Re: need iPhone app works well with scale

2016-08-28 Thread Lois Butterfield

Hi Christopher,

I am very happy with my Aria.  I have had no problems setting it up or 
syncing, or any problems.


Yes, it does not sync with the Health app, but to me after listening to 
Jonathans podcast, the FitBit app seems to be much more accessible than does 
the Withing app.


If you have other questions, feel free to write me off list.

Take care,

Re: Need opinions about waiting for iPhone 7 or getting SE

2016-08-28 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Sorry, I never meant to say or imply that. As I said, I kept my iPhone 
4S for over four years. I said that I've seen messages from others on 
this list, when question from 4S users come up, that they need to 
upgrade their phone and what do they expect with such an old device, but 
this isn't my opinion though. I also said that anyone who is worried 
about that IOS upgrade four or five years after they purchase their 
phone should probably wait another month to see what the fall offerings 
will bring.


All that being said, I do think that most people don't hold on to their 
smart phones for five years. I suspect most iPhone users tend to upgrade 
their phones a bit more often than that. That doesn't mean everyone does 
or everyone should. I also think it's great of Apple to support their 
older phones as long as they do.

I would agree that if you're worried about whether you get an IOS

RE: need iPhone app works well with scale

2016-08-28 Thread Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.
I received the below from the Qardio support team a few months back. I haven't 
explored this further, but it may be of interest to you. These are the folks 
that provide the QardioArm Blood Pressure cuff that I and others use here with 
some success Their scale is called QardioBase..

Keith

Thank you for emailing Qardio.

QardioBase works fairly well for people with vision impairments, with the 
exception of one feature.

The feature that allows setting weight goals is currently not working well with 
VoiceOver. 
We are unhappy about that, and we are working on a re-design of the screen that 
allows you to set weight goals, so that it works great for everyone.

Every other feature works well with VoiceOver.

Using QardioBase with vision impairments:

- Weight and body composition measurements are visualized immediately on your 
iPhone and VoiceOver can read the measurement for you

- QardioBase has haptic feedback, so after the measurement you feel the scale 
vibrating under your feet to inform you that the measurement is completed.

- stepping on the scale: QardioBase is round, most scales on the market today 
are round or square. QardioBase, however, has a round feature on its top that 
indicates the back of the scale for you - the side on which your heels should 
be.
You can clearly feel this feature with your feet, it's 1mm think and about the 
size of the inner circle you create by touching the tips of your thumb and 
index fingers. 

Once you have the correct orientation of the scale, you can just step on it.

If you have large feet, having your toes "sticking out" does not affect the 
accuracy of the measurements.

Here is an older post by AFB about our commitment to make our products work 
great with VoiceOver:
http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw170101 

I hope this answers your questions.

If we can help with anything else, just let us know, we’ll be glad to help.

Kind regards,
Tomas
The Qardio Team

I think those are the current list prices, 149 and 199. Indeed, there have been 
some deals recently where the price for the smaller one was considerably less

Does anyone have any experience with the Withings scale other than that 
provided by Jonathan? I am currently looking for a scale but have been sort of 
scared off by the bad reviews. The factor that bothers me is that people seem 
to be reporting that the scale is requesting the identity of the individual 
trying to use it and it must be selected. I only have two people in my 
household but I would not want it to fail to work because it needs a selection. 
There are also lots of complaints about other things. I was hoping to find some 
positive feedback from a blind user before purchasing but I may just buy it and 
see what happens.

Hi Richard and David,

 

First of all, the fourth generation Apple TV also supports Bluetooth keyboards. 
It did not when it was first released, but a later TVOS updated added Bluetooth 
keyboard support.

Once the TVOS 10 update is released in a few weeks there is also single sign-in 
although I am not sure how this works if, for example, you use different 
passwords for let’s say Netflix, Youtube and Hulu. 

The Apple TV Fourth Generation is available with 32 Gb internal storage for 
$199 US and with 64 Gb for $249. This storage is for downloading apps and so 
on, you cannot record shows with the fourth generation Apple TV nor could you 
with previous versions.

As Richard already said, apps like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube and so on are all 
free. I would imagine that pretty much all apps which require a subscription 
would offer the app for free. Keep in mind that at this point many apps you can 
get on the Apple TV require a cable subscription to work and do not offer a 
stand-along subscription via the Apple TV. I believe this is the case with 
Disney.

I am pretty sure you can watch and get a subscription for the mlb network via 
the Apple TV.

I think for anybody who watches a fair bit of TV the Apple TV may not yet be a 
satisfactory replacement although I really like ours and think it’s a 
worthwhile item to have for anybody who is involved in the Apple ecosystem and 
especially if you want a beautifully accessible platform for Netflix, Youtube 
and so on.

. There have been rumours that apple is negotiating with major content 
providers so they can offer an A La Card TV service where you can pay for 
channels you want without being forced to subscribe to channel bundles which 
may include stuff you never watch. However, it does not look like Apple is even 
close to reaching agreements with these content providers and one theory I 
heard is that Apple thinks they are top dog and approach these negotiations 
with a fair bit of ssuperiority and self-importance thinking these major 
content providers which are huge companies also are going to fall to their 
knees thanking Apple for what they want to do and offer them killer deals. 
Apparently this is not so and the two sides are still miles apart from reaching 
an agreement as to how this would work.

Sometimes you wait a year or more before a TV series shows up on Netflix.

All the ones you mentioned, Netflix, Hulu, and MLB, are subscriptions. The apps 
are free, but only useful with a paid subscription.

If you get the Apple TV, you will be able to use the VoiceOver feature to enter

With the 3rd Generation Apple TV, you could also sync a Bluetooth keyboard,

  I looked this up on Amazon.ca and it’s one of these rip-off deals. Robert 
said it costs $25 in the US on sale for $16, here on Amazon.ca it is listed for 
$74 + $6 or $8 shipping. It also says in the specs that it weighs 180 grams 
which I find would be way to heavy for me to wear it over a longer period of 
time. After all, my iPhone 6S Plus only weighs 192 grams which means if the 180 
grams is indeed correct and you had a 6S Plus in one hand and this Bluetooth 
wrist speaker in the other you couldn’t tell the difference and I certainly 
wouldn’t want something on my wrist that is the weight of my 6S Plus. Robert, 
if you have a talking kitchen scale, could you weigh it and clarify, I have a 
feeling that what Amazon writes is not correct.

Re: need iPhone app works well with scale

2016-08-28 Thread gs
Does anyone have any experience with the Withings scale other than that 
provided by Jonathan? I am currently looking for a scale but have been sort of 
scared off by the bad reviews. The factor that bothers me is that people seem 
to be reporting that the scale is requesting the identity of the individual 
trying to use it and it must be selected. I only have two people in my 
household but I would not want it to fail to work because it needs a selection. 
There are also lots of complaints about other things. I was hoping to find some 
positive feedback from a blind user before purchasing but I may just buy it and 
see what happens.

Re: Need opinions about waiting for iPhone 7 or getting SE

2016-08-28 Thread Christopher Chaltain

I'm not sure what you're objecting to exactly.

I agree with you though. I'm still getting through a whole day on my 
iPhone 4S. It isn't going to compete with an iPhone 6, but depending on 
how you use it, I think it's still usable.

Hi!

I have to object on this one.

I bought my old 4S back in 2012. when it was last years model.

I used it untill october 2015. with no problems at all. When I got my
new device I did some tests with old 4S and along others, I fully
charged it, disabled WiFi and Bluetooth and removed the SIM card from
it. I just locked the phone and it was on stand by for the next 8 days
meaning the battery in it was significantly strong at the time beeing.

Today my old 4S is borrowed to one of my friends and he is using it on a
daily basis, talking, texting, hanging on Facebook and following some
sites rather more than I did and the battery is holding about day and a
half.

If this continues in this mannor I asume this phone will last atleast
next two years with iOS 9.3.5 or some possible update in 9.x.

Of course, working with it is not as nice and ellegant as working with
6S but for someone who just needs calling, texting and alarm clock is
far better solution than some cheap Android POC or spending significant
ammount of money for some new iOS device. I have to remind you not all
countries have free iPhones on operators contract and here in EU we're
paying about $100 more for the same models because of EU WWATT and
shipping or whatever.

Is this really Apple's rule? I couldn't find anything on line with a
quick web search. I remember everyone was surprised when Apple
continued to support the 4S with IOS 9, which would have been four
years and not five, if the 4S would have stopped at IOS 8.

Whether it's a rule or not, and whether it's four or five years,
Apple's support for older hardware is truly outstanding in the mobile
space.

I would agree that if you're worried about whether you get an IOS
upgrade or the SE in 2020 then you should wait to see what the fall
brings. As Sieghard says though, the SE will still work on the last
version of IOS it supports even if you can't move up to the next
version. Also, how many people hold on to their smart phones that long
in the first place? I've seen us 4S users on this list get responses
that we should just upgrade, even when asking questions that have
nothing to do with the 4S and it's hardware.

Knowing that this is Apple's rule at this point it doesn't mean this
will change. Also, if somebody who couldn't care less about the
latest features had an iPhone 4S which still worked well for what
they are doing they can still use it for years to come with iOS
9.3.5. Of course the reality is that a device that is 5 or 6 or even
7 years old will most likely need a new battery and why pay for that
if you could get whatever iPhone is free on contract. The exception
here would be somebody who maybe is happy to use the iPhone 4S with a
prepaid service or with a low-cost MVNO. My Mom has an iPad 2 from
2011 which also will not get iOS 10 this year. She already asked me
if she could still use it and I said that of course she can since
while it is a bit slow compared to new devices, it is still going
strong.

Missing from this discussion is that Apple stops providing upgrade
ability to iPhones after five years.  The SE is based on 2015
technology and likely cannot accept the new iOS in 2020.  The iPhone
7 will likely not be able to receive a new iOS in 2021, based on past
Apple practice.  For example, the 4s will not be able to accept iOS
10 that will be out later this year.

I can see where a spring release might take some of the thunder away
from the other smart phone manufacturers who line their product
releases up with the show in Barcelona, but I also know that operating
system development is more complicated when you have to support

If you would normally have both your cellular and wifi radios on, and 
you're turning off your cellular radio and using wifi calling then yes, 
you would save battery life.


If you'll still have both radios on and your just using wifi calling 
instead of your cellular connection then I don't think you'd save much 
battery life, but I'm not sure.

Re: E-Mail Client

2016-08-28 Thread Christopher Chaltain
This does sound a bit like Gmail. I've heard people rave about the Gmail 
app, but I like to work with both threads and individual messages at the 
same time. For example, I may want to file one message in a thread to a 
folder and delete the rest. I've never gotten the hang of doing this 
with the Gmail app on either IOS or Android or even the web interface 
for that matter. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I just haven't 
figured out how to do it quickly, easily and with confidence.


I like the Mail app as it is now on IOS 9 because it's obvious when I'm 
taking an action on an individual message or an entire thread. For me 
personally, I do find it a bit tedious though that I have to go into a 
new page to look at the messages in that particular thread and then back 
out of that page when I want to get back to my folder list. The focus 
always hasn't been good about taking me back to the place I was at 
before either.


I do like how Thunderbird handles threads on my Linux box and Aquamail 
does on my Android device. I double tap the message and the thread gets 
expanded or collapsed. It's easy to tell when I'm working on the thread 
or looking at or taking an action on just one particular message.


It sounds like this new mail client in IOS 10 will give me what I'm 
looking for. I'm not sure if or when I'll have an iPhone that'll be able 
to run IOS 10 though. It's too bad you can't upgrade just the Mail app 
so that those of us on IOS 9 could still take advantage of some of these 
enhancements.

That doesn't sound very good, unless I'm misunderstanding it. It sounds
kind of like what happens when you get a digest. You know, somebody
replies to a message that they got as part of a digest and doesn't
delete everything. So you get this great long mass. I can't believe
that's what they're doing. Sighted people would hate that. I guess we'll

Hi!

I believe we misunderstood somewhere along the way xD.

I know about threaded view, it is available since iOS 5 or something
but this is a threaded view for message list and it can be turned on
or off.

iOS 10 is bringing several messages grouping in the single
conversation as seen in Gmail app which I really don't want and,
according to Tamas Geczy's article on CBT site it can't be turned off.

Here's the quotation on it:



A new threaded view for messages places all of the conversation as
though it were one long message. This adds a new rotor option:
Message. When it is selected, swiping down with VoiceOver will move
you to the next message in the mail document. You can turn off
threading, but not the behavior, or having them be organized in one
giant e-mail message rather than individual ones in a conversation
list within the subject. This might change, as sometimes in-line
message replies are not detected by the app — so you have to scroll
through older messages with greater than signs. In other cases, a
button allows you to expand the older messages. In my experience,
this is hit or miss, though with Gmail it recognized that the quoted
thread messages should be hidden most of the time

item in the rotor, is that if you chose to use threading, and you want to 
delete just 1 message, it deletes the entire thread. At least, when 
experimenting with that feature, I have not found a way to just delete one 
message in a thread, or to delete all but one, however you want to look at it.

That doesn't sound very good, unless I'm misunderstanding it. It sounds kind of 
like what happens when you get a digest. You know, somebody replies to a 
message that they got as part of a digest and doesn't delete everything. So you 
get this great long mass. I can't believe that's what they're doing. Sighted

I know about threaded view, it is available since iOS 5 or something but this 
is a threaded view for message list and it can be turned on or off.

iOS 10 is bringing several messages grouping in the single conversation as seen 
in Gmail app which I really don't want and, according to Tamas Geczy's article 
on CBT site it can't be turned off.

Here's the quotation on it:



A new threaded view for messages places all of the conversation as though it 
were one long message. This adds a new rotor option: Message. When it is 
selected, swiping down with VoiceOver will move you to the next message in the 
mail document. You can turn off threading, but not the behavior, or having them 
be organized in one giant e-mail message rather than individual ones in a 
conversation list within the subject. This might change, as sometimes in-line 
message replies are not detected by the app — so you have to scroll through 
older messages with greater than signs. In other cases, a button allows you to 
expand the older messages. In my experience, this is hit or miss, though with 
Gmail it recognized that the quoted thread messages should be hidden most of 
the time

RE: Can not enter pass code on iPhone

2016-08-28 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Vicky, 

I am so sorry to learn of your problem.  Wow!  

As Sieghard suggested, you really should take the phone into an Apple Store.

However, if that is not an option, to answer your question, using the Mac, Yes, 
you will be able to successfully erase and restore the phone via iTunes.  

Were I you, however, I would make certain that I had a good pear of eyes with 
me, just in case there is a problem.

I'm curious, how many times did you attempt to enter the unlock password to 
your phone before trouble began?  

Also, to your recollection, did you have the phone set to erase all data after 
10 failed attempts?  

Please keep us posted on this.

Mark

Subject: Can not enter pass code on iPhone

 Perhaps someone can write to me off list at vicki.ratcli...@gmail.com to 
give suggestions.

 Yesterday I had my iPhone 5 on and when taking Amtrak home charged the 
phone.  When starting to charge it, I noticed that there was not any speech and 
I tried to enter the pass code when the screen reader finally worked.  When 
plugging the phone in to the mac today, it said “iphone disabled” and even last 
night after the speech came on, I could not enter a code.

 The phone is backed up to iTunes but iTunes does not connect to it using 
the mac since I can not enter the pass code.  Calling Apple, I learned that I 
would have to erase the phone and then restore it through iTunes.

 Will voiceover work using recovery mode or what is the best way to erase 
and restore the phone.  I have not forgotten the code at all but now do not 
have use of a phone.

 Thanks for any input that you can provide.

Vicki Ratcliffe

RE: "Location tracking on" is back again

2016-08-28 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Mary,  

I only now just saw your email.  

It would appear that a few differences exist in the OS between back then when I 
first answered your Location Tracking question and now.

In short, some third-party apps, like Nearby Explorer take longer to release 
the GPS or, perhaps the OS is more latent in releasing the GPS, these days.

Regardless, once you make certain that the third-party GPS app is closed from 
the app-switcher, give it about 2 to 3 minutes for the Location Tracking 
indicator to disappear from the status line.  I have found that (1) simply 
opening the Settings area will cause the status line to update or (2) rebooting 
the phone will also update the status line.

Hi once more!
Today I was reading some articles on Macworld and I found
  something interesting regarding iPhone 6S and 6S plus running iOS

It says when the iPhone is face down on the table it won't unlock
  and make sounds for notifications. I can't remember did I ever
  experience this although I mostly keep my phone face up so I
  wonder did 6S and 6S Plus owners run into this somewhere in the

Hey, didn’t know you can do a two finger flick up to read message content. Been 
using iOS since iOS 4, and this is news to me.

2016-08-28 Thread Gordan Radić

  
  
Hi!
I hope this is called Read List in English, I use my phone in
  Croatian so I'm improvising xD.
I'm talking about the option in Safari to add pages I want to
  read later or offline to Read or Reading List. I can successfuly
  add some pages there but I'm not able to delete them. When I flick
  up or down I hear Delete but when I confirm it with double tap
  nothing happens. Can someone clarify on this one?
The other one is Social Links or however is it called, it is in
  the same place as Reading List, just another tab. I have imported
  some sites there and as in previous topic, I can't delete them.
  Here I don't even get the option to delete. I'm noticing there's
  always just a hundreed of items so I believe this works as FIFO
  but Icould use confirmation on this.
Thanks!

Re: E-Mail Client

2016-08-28 Thread Mary Otten
That doesn't sound very good, unless I'm misunderstanding it. It sounds kind of 
like what happens when you get a digest. You know, somebody replies to a 
message that they got as part of a digest and doesn't delete everything. So you 
get this great long mass. I can't believe that's what they're doing. Sighted 
people would hate that. I guess we'll all just have to wait and see what the 
final thing looks like.

Under that system services tab, what are location-based alerts? Those are on. 
I'm not sure what they are or why they're on or whether I actually turned them

Hi

This might be one of the settings under system settings within location

it have been one of those?

No. Turning off location services means no apps ever get location information. 
That is not the way to go if you have GPS apps for instants or other 
applications, maybe a local news application or whatever, that need your 
location. Even the weather app needs your location. This was something probably

RE: Signing up for the Apple Beta

2016-08-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Mmary and Carol,

Mary, no, I am not a Mac user and can't help you there.
Carol, I'll post something once the iOS 10 public release dust settles and the 
Outlook app has been updated so these sign-in issues are resolved. However, 
keep in mind that it is a free app so you can always download it, set up a mail 
account and give it a try to see for yourself. There is no problem with 
downloading a second mail app to your iPhone and to use it in parallel with the 
native mail app, it's no different from having two OCR or object recognition 
apps. In fact, doing so and going back and forth between both apps to deal with 
your email is probably the best way to figure out what you like and not like 
about each app and to make a final decision which one you will go with.


Regards,
Sieghard

Thanks, Sieghard, this is interesting about outlook. I don't think you have a 
Mac, so I guess the question of the excess ability of outlook on the Mac would 
not be one that you would be able to answer. I am not as happy with the Mail 
app on the Mac as I have been with it on iOS. So if outlook becomes a good 
alternative, it will be worth looking into.

Re: "Location tracking on" is back again

2016-08-28 Thread Mary Otten
Thanks, Shai. That setting is still off, so that's not it. There are some 
interesting things under system services, a few of which are on, some of which 
I don't exactly know what turning them off would do. Something like Wi-Fi 
calling, which is currently off, or compass calibration which is currently on. 
Then there is something about cellular network search, which is also off. But 
there were a couple of others that I can't think of right now which are on. 
Maybe it's one of those. It definitely isn't an app like Facebook. I never let 
things like Facebook or Twitter or even Safari for that matter, see my location.

Re: Signing up for the Apple Beta

2016-08-28 Thread Mary Otten
Thanks, Sieghard, this is interesting about outlook. I don't think you have a 
Mac, so I guess the question of the excess ability of outlook on the Mac would 
not be one that you would be able to answer. I am not as happy with the Mail 
app on the Mac as I have been with it on iOS. So if outlook becomes a good 
alternative, it will be worth looking into.

before the Goldmaster which usually comes out the week of the keynote and which

I have a feeling that Apple may actually release another beta next week, but

Microsoft has just acknowledge officially for the first time that there are 
issues with the Outlook app and iOS 10, currently you can't set up an Office 
365 account or sign in with an Outlook.com account which has two-step 
verification enabled. They told me this privately in an email weeks ago and 
with the last Outlook update said in the What's New that they are aware of this 
and are working on a fix. This would make me think that they are going to 
release a fix before the public release and I look forward to this because one 
thing that works much better in Outlook now is being able to review text by 
character and word in the message body. This was not working previously and was 
basically the major dealbreaker why I wouldn't use Outlook as my major mail 
client. If this continues to work Outlook may very well be a very good 
alternative to the iOS native Mail app.

RE: Signing up for the Apple Beta

2016-08-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Mary,

You are correct, KNFB Reader still does not work on the latest Beta which is 
developer beta 7 and public beta 6. There never have been this many betas, Rob 
from Today in iOS Podcast thinks that this current version is the last Beta 
before the Goldmaster which usually comes out the week of the keynote and which 
also usually is the first public release. Sometimes if a serious bug is 
discovered in the Goldmaster there is another update before the public release. 
I have a feeling that Apple may actually release another beta next week, but 
who knows. Anyhow, it would appear that the KNFB Reader issue is something that 
needs to be addressed with an app update of the KNFB Reader app and I would 
hope that KNFB will release this update before or around the time of the public 
release of iOS 10.
Microsoft has just acknowledge officially for the first time that there are 
issues with the Outlook app and iOS 10, currently you can't set up an Office 
365 account or sign in with an Outlook.com account which has two-step 
verification enabled. They told me this privately in an email weeks ago and 
with the last Outlook update said in the What's New that they are aware of this 
and are working on a fix. This would make me think that they are going to 
release a fix before the public release and I look forward to this because one 
thing that works much better in Outlook now is being able to review text by 
character and word in the message body. This was not working previously and was 
basically the major dealbreaker why I wouldn't use Outlook as my major mail 
client. If this continues to work Outlook may very well be a very good 
alternative to the iOS native Mail app.

Sieghard

I was using the on-screen keyboard, and I was careful about capitalizing the 
parts of my password that need to be capitalized and not capitalizing the rest. 
And yes, I was trying to register for the beta on my iPad mini two. I expect 
this will be the last upgrade for the mini too. I don't know why it's getting 
it and iPod touch five isn't. But such are the breaks I guess. I was going to

I was having a similar problem to yours when I was trying to sign up for the 
beta. Make sure you are not tapping the button immediately below the password 
field but instead tap the button that appears next to the keyboard. Try that 
and see if it works better.

RE: Need opinions about waiting for iPhone 7 or getting SE

2016-08-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Exactly, the majority of users will not have a mobile phone for 4 let alone 5 
years. Those who do and for whom the phone still works for the most part 
couldn't care less if they are getting another year or two out of their phone 
being on the older version of the software.

Subject: Re: Need opinions about waiting for iPhone 7 or getting SE

Is this really Apple's rule? I couldn't find anything on line with a quick web 
search. I remember everyone was surprised when Apple continued to support the 
4S with IOS 9, which would have been four years and not five, if the 4S would 
have stopped at IOS 8.

Whether it's a rule or not, and whether it's four or five years, Apple's 
support for older hardware is truly outstanding in the mobile space.

I would agree that if you're worried about whether you get an IOS upgrade or 
the SE in 2020 then you should wait to see what the fall brings. As Sieghard 
says though, the SE will still work on the last version of IOS it supports even 
if you can't move up to the next version. Also, how many people hold on to 
their smart phones that long in the first place? I've seen us 4S users on this 
list get responses that we should just upgrade, even when asking questions that 
have nothing to do with the 4S and it's hardware.

RE: Where is the "send" button?

2016-08-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Jewell and Deidre,

Just as a small correction, it is actually not "the third line". Yes, you have 
to swipe twice from the Cancel button to get to Send, but visually Cancel, the 
email subject and Send are all on the same line.

When you have composed an email in the Mail app or are replying to one, the 
Send button is more or less at the top right corner. Cancel is at the top left 
and in the middle is a heading which when you compose a new message says "New 
Message" at first, as soon as you typed a subject it will say whatever it is 
you typed as the subject or whatever the subject is of the email you are 
replying to.
I say the send button is "more or less" at the top right corner because just a 
tiny bit above it and all the way across the device from left to right is a 
button that is announced as "Minimize Draft". If you started a message and want 
to finish it later, you can double tap it and it will save the message as a 
draft and go back to the main mailbox you were in.
So, visually you have your status bar at the top with the time, battery level 
on the right and so on.
Underneath and all the way across is the "Minimize Draft" button. If you were 
to touch the time and slowly drag your finger down along the right side of the 
phone you would find it, but you would also find it if you touch the time in 
the middle and drag down or if you touch the carrier logo/signal strength on 
the left and drag down as it goes all the way across.
Underneath that on the next line is "Cancel" at the left", "New Message or 
Message Subject" in the middle and "Send" on the right.
If you touch the time and drag down past Minimize Draft you next get to Send.
If you want to swipe and are, for example, on Cancel, then you can swipe left 
once to get to the Minimize Draft button, you can swipe right twice to get to 
Send.

Sieghard

Also, you can swipe backwards and it's just before the to field in which you 
have put the name of the person or their email the one that you're sending the

RE: Can not enter pass code on iPhone

Subject: Can not enter pass code on iPhone


 Perhaps someone can write to me off list at vicki.ratcli...@gmail.com to 
give suggestions.

 Yesterday I had my iPhone 5 on and when taking Amtrak home charged the 
phone.  When starting to charge it, I noticed that there was not any speech and 
I tried to enter the pass code when the screen reader finally worked.  When 
plugging the phone in to the mac today, it said “iphone disabled” and even last 
night after the speech came on, I could not enter a code.

 The phone is backed up to iTunes but iTunes does not connect to it using 
the mac since I can not enter the pass code.  Calling Apple, I learned that I 
would have to erase the phone and then restore it through iTunes.

 Will voiceover work using recovery mode or what is the best way to erase 
and restore the phone.  I have not forgotten the code at all but now do not 
have use of a phone.

 Thanks for any input that you can provide.

RE: Signing up for the Apple Beta

2016-08-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Mary,

Are you doing this from the device that you want to register? Unfortunately 
there isn't much I can tell  you other than that it has to be done from the 
device you want to register, you go to beta.apple.com and follow the links and 
steps required. Are you using a Bluetooth keyboard or do you use the on-screen 
keyboard, make sure if you use a Bluetooth keyboard that you don't have caps 
lock on when you enter your password. I know these is basic advice which as an 
experienced user you probably know and have checked, but unless there was some 
sort of issue with the Apple servers this is all I can think of.
You are correct, by the way, the iPad 2 is not going to get iOS 10 any more and 
as far as I know of all Lightning devices the iPod Touch fifth gen for some 
reason also will not  be compatible any more, the only iPod that can run iOS 10 
is the sixth generation iPod Touch.

Sieghard

Now that we are so close to the release of iOS 10, I decided to take a flyer on 
the beta using my iPad too. I should say my iPad mini two, since I don't know 
that the iPad 2 is even eligible for this beta, and in any case, I don't have 
an iPad too. So I would like to hear from someone off the list who might be 
able to shed light on the following. I went to the beta site and went to sign 
up with my Apple ID. I very carefully entered my Apple ID and very carefully 
entered my password. I was told either my ID or password was incorrect. I have 
repeated this process twice more being extremely careful each time. And each 
time the result is the same. I have had and used this Apple ID ever since I got 
my first device years ago. And I have never had a problem with it, nor have I 
changed the password. The many hundreds of dollars worth of stuff I bought from 
the various stores attest to the fact that I have had no problem entering my 
password upon request. Smile. I don't think I am missing a step, that is 
something I would have to do before trying to sign up for the beta with my ID. 
I didn't see anything on the first page of the beta site. So can someone who 
has done this please enlighten me as to what I may be doing wrong.
Mary

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if anyone who uses outlook, is having any issues today? For 
some reason, my phone won't alert me of messages, unless I open the app.
Also, I have Windows 7 on my laptop, and are you Thunderbird. It's not updating 
either, unless I ask it to.
Then everyone's in a while, if I am going through the mail on my laptop, I did 
the strange message. I know I can't remember it word from word. But it said 
something like, Thunderbird has had an error, and Dennis says something about 
somebody your messages that you requested might have been lost.
But I don't think I have lost anything. Although it is difficult to know, 
because I don't know all the mail that has come through my list today.

Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else is having a problem? If so, is this 
likely and outlook is you. I would assume so, since I am having a problem and 
you different places

Any help with this would be very much appreciated. I hope it is just an outlook 
issue that will resolve itself. Or there is something I can do to fix it. I 
like my Outlook account. Our use it most of the time, even though I still have 
my Gmail account is back up. But most everything has been switched out look.

RE: multtiple topics: apple tv, netflicks, hulu, etc.

2016-08-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Richard and David,

First of all, the fourth generation Apple TV also supports Bluetooth keyboards. 
It did not when it was first released, but a later TVOS updated added Bluetooth 
keyboard support.
Once the TVOS 10 update is released in a few weeks there is also single sign-in 
although I am not sure how this works if, for example, you use different 
passwords for let’s say Netflix, Youtube and Hulu.
The Apple TV Fourth Generation is available with 32 Gb internal storage for 
$199 US and with 64 Gb for $249. This storage is for downloading apps and so 
on, you cannot record shows with the fourth generation Apple TV nor could you 
with previous versions.
As Richard already said, apps like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube and so on are all 
free. I would imagine that pretty much all apps which require a subscription 
would offer the app for free. Keep in mind that at this point many apps you can 
get on the Apple TV require a cable subscription to work and do not offer a 
stand-along subscription via the Apple TV. I believe this is the case with 
Disney.
I am pretty sure you can watch and get a subscription for the mlb network via 
the Apple TV.
I think for anybody who watches a fair bit of TV the Apple TV may not yet be a 
satisfactory replacement although I really like ours and think it’s a 
worthwhile item to have for anybody who is involved in the Apple ecosystem and 
especially if you want a beautifully accessible platform for Netflix, Youtube 
and so on.
. There have been rumours that apple is negotiating with major content 
providers so they can offer an A La Card TV service where you can pay for 
channels you want without being forced to subscribe to channel bundles which 
may include stuff you never watch. However, it does not look like Apple is even 
close to reaching agreements with these content providers and one theory I 
heard is that Apple thinks they are top dog and approach these negotiations 
with a fair bit of ssuperiority and self-importance thinking these major 
content providers which are huge companies also are going to fall to their 
knees thanking Apple for what they want to do and offer them killer deals. 
Apparently this is not so and the two sides are still miles apart from reaching 
an agreement as to how this would work.

In short, not all, or even most, shows on the major networks are available on 
Netflix.
Sometimes you wait a year or more before a TV series shows up on Netflix.
All the ones you mentioned, Netflix, Hulu, and MLB, are subscriptions. The apps 
are free, but only useful with a paid subscription.
If you get the Apple TV, you will be able to use the VoiceOver feature to enter 
your login information for the various subscriptions.
With the 3rd Generation Apple TV, you could also sync a Bluetooth keyboard, 
which made account info entry much easier.
That's what I think I know.
HTH,
Richard

I would like to"cut the cord" next summer with fios when my contract ends and

I am not clear as to the types of programs available on netflicks, hulu, etc. 
If these apps include the regular 4 major network programms, what is the delay 
or lag time to access the shows after their orifinal network broadcast?

My wife recorded big brother the other night. It was interupted by weather

Why would someone pay for netflicks or huluu if programs are free on network

2016-08-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Keith,

The rumours I heard I think all point towards Apple shipping new iPhones with a 
Lightning to 3.5mm adapter and while there is a lot of talk about Apple 
Bluetooth Earbuds, it is my guess that these would be of considerable quality 
and hence they would most likely be something Apple would offer as an add-on. 
If they end up costing $60 or $80 or even $100 I doubt Apple would throw them 
in for free and miss out on selling millions of them at a great profit.

RE: input on free conf services phone app

2016-08-28 Thread Richard Turner
Hi,
Those free conferencing apps are both made by the same company and from the 
descriptions look like two versions of the same thing.
FCC HD was last updated in November of 2015 and FCC Dialer was updated May of 
2016, and includes the privacy policy link in the app store details.

I suspect the FCC HD provides some of the privacy info but it looks like you 
have to go find it to read it in its entirety.

FCC Dialer does state that your personal information may be shared with 
countries whose privacy laws could be  less restrictive than the one you live 
in.  Since you are not including credit card information that may not bother 
you.

I personally have no need for conference calling, but I’m always curious about 
different services in case clients ask about them.

I have no opinion pro or con with this kind of service, I just encourage people 
to always read the details of the privacy statement.

HTH,
Richard

I have two apps that support creation of new “Free Conference Calling HD” 
accounts.  Furthermore, they both provide for inviting participants via text 
messaging with the telephone number and participant code included within that 
text message.  They are both products of “Free Conference Calling HD” and I 
have both for reasons that are not germain in this thread.  The apps are:

1) FCC HD
2) FCC Dialer

I advise that you install both of them (they are free) and decide for yourself 
which you prefer - I personally have a definite preference but I’ll keep quiet 
about that so you can make up your mind without undue influence!

Now, a word about “Free Conference Calling HD;” this will allow more than a 
single moderator to call in at the same time.  I believe this is a significant 
benefit because of conference muting, conference locking and the possibility of 
a dropped call - that could very well be the moderator line.

Also, if you have any problems with these apps, feel free to contact me for 
help!

Re: "Location tracking on" is back again

2016-08-28 Thread Donna
Now that I have explored what Jan suggested, I have to agree with her. If you 
go to settings, privacy, location services, swipe down to system services & tap 
to open. Here you will find system services that use your location. Turn off 
those services that you don't trackingg your every move. Here you also have the 
option to not have the system service icon displayed in the status bar. 

I have app background refresh on. I have switched on the system service icon 
then turned background refresh off & the icon still remains in the status bar. 
So in my opinion, background refresh has nothing to do with your problem.

Re: E-Mail Client

2016-08-28 Thread Gordan Radić

  
  
Hi!
I believe we misunderstood somewhere along the way xD.
I know about threaded view, it is available since iOS 5 or
  something but this is a threaded view for message list and it can
  be turned on or off.
iOS 10 is bringing several messages grouping in the single
  conversation as seen in Gmail app which I really don't want and,
  according to Tamas Geczy's article on CBT site it can't be turned
  off.
Here's the quotation on it:


 A new threaded view for messages places all of the conversation
  as though it were one long message. This adds a new rotor option:
  Message. When it is selected, swiping down with VoiceOver will
  move you to the next message in the mail document. You can turn
  off threading, but not the behavior, or having them be organized
  in one giant e-mail message rather than individual ones in a
  conversation list within the subject. This might change, as
  sometimes in-line message replies are not detected by the app — so
  you have to scroll through older messages with greater than signs.
  In other cases, a button allows you to expand the older messages.
  In my experience, this is hit or miss, though with Gmail it
  recognized that the quoted thread messages should be hidden most
  of the time

  There's an article on the Cool Blind Tech website about
what's new in incoming iOS 10. Amongst other things, it says
message view in Mail app is not separated by message as it
was till now. Now it is more like conversation view similar
to text and iMessages and there is a new option in rotor
called "message" which will enable you to switch between
messages in conversation.
  I'm not sure will I like this or not, I like clean separate
messages and that's why I don't use Gmail app. I don't even

I agree Android approach to navigating and editing is

2016-08-28 Thread Gordan Radić

  
  
Hi!
I have to object on this one.
I bought my old 4S back in 2012. when it was last years model.
I used it untill october 2015. with no problems at all. When I
  got my new device I did some tests with old 4S and along others, I
  fully charged it, disabled WiFi and Bluetooth and removed the SIM
  card from it. I just locked the phone and it was on stand by for
  the next 8 days meaning the battery in it was significantly strong
  at the time beeing.
Today my old 4S is borrowed to one of my friends and he is using
  it on a daily basis, talking, texting, hanging on Facebook and
  following some sites rather more than I did and the battery is
  holding about day and a half.
If this continues in this mannor I asume this phone will last
  atleast next two years with iOS 9.3.5 or some possible update in
  9.x.
Of course, working with it is not as nice and ellegant as working
  with 6S but for someone who just needs calling, texting and alarm
  clock is far better solution than some cheap Android POC or
  spending significant ammount of money for some new iOS device. I
  have to remind you not all countries have free iPhones on
  operators contract and here in EU we're paying about $100 more for
  the same models because of EU WWATT and shipping or whatever.

Is this really Apple's rule? I couldn't find anything
  on line with a quick web search. I remember everyone was surprised
  when Apple continued to support the 4S with IOS 9, which would
  have been four years and not five, if the 4S would have stopped at
  IOS 8.
  
  
  Whether it's a rule or not, and whether it's four or five years,
  Apple's support for older hardware is truly outstanding in the
  mobile space.
  
  
  I would agree that if you're worried about whether you get an IOS
  upgrade or the SE in 2020 then you should wait to see what the
  fall brings. As Sieghard says though, the SE will still work on
  the last version of IOS it supports even if you can't move up to
  the next version. Also, how many people hold on to their smart
  phones that long in the first place? I've seen us 4S users on this
  list get responses that we should just upgrade, even when asking
  questions that have nothing to do with the 4S and it's hardware.

use it for years to come with iOS 9.3.5. Of course the reality
is that a device that is 5 or 6 or even 7 years old will most
likely need a new battery and why pay for that if you could get
whatever iPhone is free on contract. The exception here would be
somebody who maybe is happy to use the iPhone 4S with a prepaid
service or with a low-cost MVNO. My Mom has an iPad 2 from 2011
which also will not get iOS 10 this year. She already asked me
if she could still use it and I said that of course she can
since while it is a bit slow compared to new devices, it is
still going strong.

Missing from this discussion is that Apple stops providing
upgrade ability to iPhones after five years.  The SE is based on
2015 technology and likely cannot accept the new iOS in 2020. 
The iPhone 7 will likely not be able to receive a new iOS in
2021, based on past Apple practice.  For example, the 4s will
not be able to accept iOS 10 that will be out later this year.

Where is the "send" button?

2016-08-28 Thread Jewel
I know where it used to be, but I have just created a gmail account for my 5S 
iPhone, and I cannot 
find "send" anywhere.  I am sure that it must be lurking in some corner, but 
just where that corner 
might be is eluding me.
