Or find a paper clip and use that,

I've lost so many of the sim removal tools but I can always find a paper clip 
somewhere.

Thanks. That makes sense.

One reason I wanted to know is if I ever decided to get another phone that I 
might also want to use. I know, probably that doesn't make sense to some 
people, but I know you get it, Wayne and Arlene.

Carolyn, the first thing, take your phone out of the case.
2. locate a very tiny whole on the side of the phone. I don't know where it 
would be on the i11, however for an example, the iphone se sim card would be 
on the right edge as you're facing the phone. You'll need a paper clip to 
pop the tray with the sim card out. The paper clip, That's my preferred tool 
since it works well.note: the tray and the sim card both, are very tiny, so 
if you do happen to pop your sim card out I recomend doing it over 
something, so it won't get lost. if you have any questions just ask and good 
luck.

Where is it that you insert the SIM card. I wish I'd have thought to ask Ray

Hello,



Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the IMEI to show up as unlocked after
it has been locked. It is worth sticking a sim in and seeing what happens if
you have followed the process and are unlocked.

RE: HomePod Question

[Simon A Fogarty]

I've never heard the home pod as we can't get them here in new Zealand.

I do however have a few sonos play 1 devices although they aren't Bluetooth.

 But what I have heard playing audio is the sonos move and it sounded pretty 
bloody good to me.

And they are similar in how they work to the home pod I believe.

The other speakers I personally like are the UE boom for which they have just 
added a new device called the hyper boom,

 Might be worth a look

RE: HomePod Question

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I don't own one since we have a very extensive Sonos system, but I did look at 
them and listen to them and "junky" is definitely is not how I'd describe them. 
Apple does know music and they do sound very, very nice and no Bluetooth 
speaker would be able to compete with the sound quality of a stereo pair of 
HomePods playing via Airplay or natively via the HomePod. For a book it's of 
course fine and you won't hear the difference, but the Bluetooth protocol just 
not have the bandwidth to allow for that sort of quality. There are apparently 
changes coming to Bluetooth which should vastly improve the sound quality, but 
of course they won't work with older hardware which cannot support them.

RE: HomePod Question

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I don't own a HomePod, but I'm curious, when something is transferred in this 
way, wouldn't it be simply like sending it to the Homepod via Airplay?

After you transfer something to your HomePod, you can use your phone for other 
things. You can lock the screen. But you cannot turn off the phone entirely, or 
even close the app which is the source of the program on your HomePod. Thus, it 
is not the same as a Chromecast, where you can completely turn off your device 
once the Chromecast has taken over.

Hi Robert,
What you did with your book share book is exactly what I have done when I have 
tried the handoff feature. It’s just that most of the time, it doesn’t work for 
me. That’s my problem. And I don’t think there has ever been a time when it has 
worked with a voice over voice. I actually have a stereo pair. I don’t know why 
that should make a difference. I’ve tried both parts of my stereo pair, and 
both work intermittently as described.

Carolyn, the first thing, take your phone out of the case.
2. locate a very tiny whole on the side of the phone. I don't know where it 
would be on the i11, however for an example, the iphone se sim card would be 
on the right edge as you're facing the phone. You'll need a paper clip to 
pop the tray with the sim card out. The paper clip, That's my preferred tool 
since it works well.note: the tray and the sim card both, are very tiny, so 
if you do happen to pop your sim card out I recomend doing it over 
something, so it won't get lost. if you have any questions just ask and good 
luck.

Hello,



Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the IMEI to show up as unlocked after
it has been locked. It is worth sticking a sim in and seeing what happens if
you have followed the process and are unlocked.

Hi All,

Running an SE iPhone with iOS 13.3.1.  I have a particular app / website 
that I would like for my phone to remember both the user name / log-in and 
password, so when I open it I can log directly in without having to enter 
the password like the way I save this info in a browser on my PC.  My phone 
remembers the user name, but not the password.  Is there a way to have an 
iPhone do this?  The app is the ADT Pulse.  All help is greatly appreciated. 
Thanks mooy moocho.

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go dodgers!

Re: iOS 13.3.1 and Dictation in the App Store Broken?

[Robin Frost]

  
Hi,
I'm sorry that it isn't just me but I'm glad at the same time.  I
  hadn't realized it's been broken for this long. As I might have
  said before though the upgrade for me to 13 was a pretty easy ride
  and I'm by no means a glass half empty girl still it is a bit
  disheartening to see some issues having been widely reported
  during the beta cycle and during the subsequent release still
  hanging around this long. Ah well. Yes it is a good thing there's
  more than one way to accomplish things. I'll remember the email
  tip next time; is dictation working in the notes app for instance?
 I went the bluetooth keyboard route just to get it done. H
  Here's hoping the suggestions I put in my app review will be
  implemented faster than this bug might be fixed.
Thanks for replying.
Take good care.
Robin

 Hi Mary and list,

 To make sure that I wasn’t giving bad information, I just started a
 BookShare book reading on my iPhone. I was using the James voice. I then
 held my phone near the HomePod. The phone gave a little haptic click and
 said transferring to HomePod. The James voice immediately began to read
 the book through the HomePod.

 I then held the phone near the HomePod again and got the haptic
 vibration and the phone said transferring to iPhone. The James voice
 again came through the iPhone.

Re: HomePod Question

[Arnold Schmidt]

Hi Mary, 
Thanks to your last message, I will have to investigate whether this iPhone 6 
is just too old to work with them. Also, I found the following link as to how 
to reset your home pods. It would be worth a try, that is just too much money 
to have invested in something that doesn't work right. If this really long link 
doesn't work, google "how to reset homepod" and it will find it.

Hi Robert, I actually have two phones, one of which doesn’t have a Sim card. 
That one, a 7+, has never done handoff. My 10 R is the one where it

Re: HomePod Question

[Robert Carter]

Hi Mary,

My HomePods are in a stereo pair also.

Witch iPhone are you using? I am using the 11 pro. If you have an older phone, 
I am wondering if the handoff feature works better with the new hardware? If 
you have a new phone then never mind.

RE: unlocking a locked iPhone

[Carolyn]

Thanks. That makes sense. 

One reason I wanted to know is if I ever decided to get another phone that I 
might also want to use. I know, probably that doesn't make sense to some 
people, but I know you get it, Wayne and Arlene.

Carolyn, the first thing, take your phone out of the case.
2. locate a very tiny whole on the side of the phone. I don't know where it 
would be on the i11, however for an example, the iphone se sim card would be on 
the right edge as you're facing the phone. You'll need a paper clip to pop the 
tray with the sim card out. The paper clip, That's my preferred tool since it 
works well.note: the tray and the sim card both, are very tiny, so if you do 
happen to pop your sim card out I recomend doing it over something, so it won't 
get lost. if you have any questions just ask and good luck.

Hello,



Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the IMEI to show up as unlocked after 
it has been locked. It is worth sticking a sim in and seeing what happens if 
you have followed the process and are unlocked.

I'm not speaking from personal experience, but this is true for the SE, 
except for SE's from Sprint. You also need to pay attention to the bands
