RE: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?

[Reg Sullivan]

Lots of folks out there doing that very thing.  It’s almost a dishonest 
approach to Amazon shopping.  

I’m shocked that Amazon doesn’t monitor that type of activity more closely.

As for you, I know you wouldn’t do that because you are just too honest!

 

Have an awesome day!

Check to see what thermostats the installer carries that work with the Total 
Connect comfort app.  Certainly many of the newer Honeywell thermostats will, 
but I know other brands also work with it.

You should be able to find out quickly if they work with Echo devices by 
opening the add device and click on thermostats, and I think it offers a list 
of potential thermostats.  I can check after a while, but wanted to get this 
sent since you are on a tight time frame.

Subject: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?

 

Hi List,

 

Unfortunately, I’m having to replace my central heating and air conditioning 
systems. I don’t have the specific manufacturer make and model of the system 
I’ve chosen but it is made by Trane. Since a new thermostat is required with 
the new system, it makes sense to get one that is accessible with my iPhone and 
also works with my Amazon Echo so that the installers of the new system can 
install it at the same time. I’m dealing with a tight timeframe since the 
installation process starts tomorrow.

 

I know this topic has come up repeatedly but I’m hoping someone would not mind 
reposting their recommendation for accessible thermostats. Any comments on 
which systems are required to work with a particular accessible thermostat are 
also needed.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Subject: Re: I O S 14.2 and Night Sky



I just talked to somebody at Apple Accessibility, and he does think that it
might be some kind of problem with image description. When I shared the
screen and showed him examples of what it is doing, he said that yes, it was
trying to describe an image that was there. Turning on image recognition
gave a better description of the image, but turning it off,  as it were,
didn't turn it completely off. He is going to talk to somebody about it,
being that he was able to duplicate the problem on his device, and will
allegedly get back to me on Thursday, early evening. He said that the others
who are experiencing this should report it to them, being that  the more
complaints they have about a given issue might make it seem more important.

I am getting it on a lot of screens. It is as if VoiceOver is attempting to
describe an image. Besides night sky which seems to be its favorite, it has
told me such things as adult, moon, document, sunglasses, and baseball hat.
I have everything that remotely might be related to images, emojis, speak
screen, etc turned off, and it still occurs. This is on an SE 20, running
14.2. I wonder if it is only happening on the SE 20 phones? I have tried
twice today to get in touch with Apple Accessibility, waiting long periods
both times before disconnecting, nobody answered. I will keep trying.

After upgrading to 14.2 I hear the word Conversation verbalized in front of

Anyone having that experience?

 

Also I noticed my calendar entries are not verbalizing at all?

Any thoughts?

Hi Anne.  We recently subscribed to Disney Plus and it works just fine, 
although there are a number of tricks to optimize performance.

When choosing a movie or feature, be aware of one  finger flicking up to make 
your choice.  Then tap twice to make your selection.

When “Pick of the Litter” began playing the default view switched to landscape.

Then pause with a two finger double tap to customize your sound and video 
preferences.

 

A single finger double tap will open the preferences pain where you can swipe 
through and customize your choices.

 

 

Overall we’ve figured it out through trial and error. 

There is so much great content on there. 

 

Have fun….

I have been trying to get my pharmacy to do this for the past four or five 
years. They will not do it as they say it cost them so much a prescription. I 
know you are suppose to be able to asked your local Wal mart to get it and do 
it for you. I hope all of you can get your pharmacy to do this great program.

Mr. Ed

Subject: Announcing the Launch of ScripTalk Mobile for iPhone

 

En-Vision America is excited to announce the long awaited arrival of the 
ScripTalk Mobile app for iPhone.

To successfully install and run the app, you need:

*   iPhone 7 or Higher
*   iOS 13
*   Visit the Help Section inside the app to find Directions on How to Use
*   Support for iPhone 11 is still in beta
*   Special RFID Tags placed on your prescription by a participating 
pharmacy.

Go To App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scriptalk-mobile/id1317698388

 

 

The ScripTalk Mobile app was designed with mobility and convenience in mind.  
We think you will love both the "scan" and "quick scan" buttons.  Scan tells 
you all of your drug information and Quick Scan is a convenient way to hear 
only the drug name announced.  You can also use the History feature to review 
your medications without having to scan them.

Please Note: This app is used to read special RFID Tags placed on your 
prescription by a participating pharmacy. If you don't have these special 
labels, go immediately to the find pharmacy button (in the app), call us at 
1-800-890-1180 or click on the button below to fill out a request form.

Hi,

 

Go to settings, accessibility, Voiceover, Audio and then sounds and haptics. 
You can turn all haptics off or or just the ones you want off. Hope this helps,

Good morning all.  After upgrading to 13.1 my IPhone 8  is responding with what

Also, battery life has been very short after this upgrade.  Any tips?

apology.  I am wondering if the voiceover has been improved with the my 
doorbell app.  I looked at it over a year ago and it wasn't totally accessible. 
 Any info would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

RE: Question about Stocks app?

[Reg Sullivan]

Hello folks.  Yes this app can be customized  to reflect your own watch list 
using the manage watch list button at the bottom of the screen.

It will open an edit field where you can type in the company or simble  and 
then swipe right to add it to your list.

If you want more updated info on any one stock in your list, simply double tap 
on the company simble and it will bring up a different view with the name and 
relevant details / news below the simble. 

Swiping left will then give you the option to dismiss that view in favor of the 
previous one. 

 

It is very accessible because it was developed by Apple I would assume.

 

Regards….Reg

Subject: RE: Question about Stocks app?

 

Hi, Fred, not that I have that kind of money to invest to follow it closely, 
but it’s interesting to check what’s going on once in a while.  

 

The first thing you come to when swiping right is the date, and then next is 
the search field which you would double tap like any other such edit field 
using VoiceOver.  I haven’t tried it but presumably you can enter a company 
name or ticker symbol and get a quote.  You then would come to the Dow Jones 
Industrial average with the current value and amount of change either during 
the current trading day or the completion of the last session, then likewise 
for the S 500.  You then come to stock quotes from slected companies.  I am 
not sure how they are selected, they change from day to day, possibly depending 
on trading volume or news items, but Apple is always first, understandably.  
These listings give the company name followed by the ticker symbol and then the 
price and movement just like the DJIA and S  I notice A. T. & T. is 
regularly in my list, possibly because that’s my carrier.  

 

After this list, possibly a half dozen or so, you get the Dow Jones again and 
can swipe to related stories from Apple News, which you can presumably double 
tap on to read in more detail, then you come into the like set-up for the S  
The final element is manage watch list.  I don’t know if you can create one 
there or if you have the opportunity to add to the list when you do a search 
for companies you are interested in  

 

I also don’t know if any of this works for getting information on commodities 
or bonds or other types of investments.  Keep in mind that if we are within a 
trading session, you may find VoiceOver interrupting periodically as the 
numbers are updated  You will remain on the element you were viewing however.  

 

That’s my best stab at this just from looking around and playing a bit.  Anyone 
else who knows more is welcome to chime in.

RE: An Aria Update

[Reg Sullivan]

Well now, I would be disappointed if there was no rebuttal.   I didn't see 
anyone, certainly not Jonathan forcing your hand to accept his promotion.   I 
would much rather hit the delete button if I wasn't interested.  
As Sandy responded, who has the time to look in multiple places when surfing 
other sites that may not be nearly as accessible can be a true waste of time. 
What this post has done for me as a blind person is research and educate myself 
based on all the great links provided by Jonathan and then I will be positioned 
to make my own decision on if Aira is for me or not!

Great to hear all the opinions, after all that is what the list is for!

Hi Mark and everyone. Given this new policy, I'll be unsubscribing after 
around 9 years on the group, but I want to express my disappointment about 
this change.
During Cara's excellent and even-handed leadership of this group, we had 
many occasions where app developers would engage with us about their apps, 
especially when those apps were blindness specific.
Since this particular app was one that has come up here on multiple 
occasions, with some mentioning it as one of their top apps of 2018, it 
seemed appropriate, on-topic, and of value to interested members to let them 
know about recent developments, especially a free trial. This has been 
welcomed on other groups.
It's a difficult and false distinction to separate the app from the service, 
when the app is the vehicle for that service.
Further, the service itself would in the past have been considered on-topic, 
because one uses it on an iPhone and it is blindness specific.
Anyway, I've learned a great deal over the last 9 years, so thanks to 
everyone for that.
Should you wish to be on a group where app developers and users can freely 
interact, you're welcome to join my BlindPhones list, which covers both iOS 
and Android. If an app developer wishes to take time to engage, they are 
welcomed with open arms.

RE: Ecobee4, and Nest gen3 Smart Thermostats

[Reg Sullivan]

Hi Sieghard.  Yes, that is why I bought the T6, not much difference in price 
from the T5.  

Just received it and feeling a little intimidated with that flat face, almost 
like the first time I saw an IPhone.

What is your experience with operating it manually and how was it to install?

 

Cheers….Reg

Hi Reg,

 

That sounds like a good option at a good price and checking the differences I 
would now probably have ordered the T6 instead of the T5. When I bought the T5 
I did so with I think it was Aeroplan points and they are not that different, 
one difference is that the T6 allows you to connect additional indoor or 
outdoor sensors so for example you could buy whatever compatible sensor that 
would be and put it in a different room.

 

Take care,

Sieghard

Looks like currently the Apple Store, Best Buy or Home Depot are good places to 
buy the Honeywell Lyric T5

There don't seem to be any deals, it's mostly the same price except that Home 
Depot sells it for an even $179.00, the Apple Store is $179.95 and Best By is 
$179.99.

 

Home Depot also mentions that depending on your province you may qualify for a 
rebate, you'd have to check if something like that is available in Ontario.

Hi Sieghard.  I haven’t ordered the Honeywell thermostat yet, it’s on my to do 
list, hopefully today.

I now have two Google Mini’s and one  Amazon Echo Plus with Hub.

Now that I am beginning to make my home smarter I have discovered that the 
Amazon Hub that I bought over a year ago offers less flexibility than my google 
minis.

After reading your assessment of how both speakers handled several tasks, I 
agree with your conclusion.  I continue to be amazed at how intuitive Google 
Mini is and rate it head and shoulders above Alexa.

 

Before I order that Thermostat, I’m wondering if you know which Honeywell is 
the newest and greatest?

RE: Ecobee4, and Nest gen3 Smart Thermostats

[Reg Sullivan]

Hi Sieghard.  I haven’t ordered the Honeywell thermostat yet, it’s on my to do 
list, hopefully today.

I now have two Google Mini’s and one  Amazon Echo Plus with Hub.

Now that I am beginning to make my home smarter I have discovered that the 
Amazon Hub that I bought over a year ago offers less flexibility than my google 
minis.

After reading your assessment of how both speakers handled several tasks, I 
agree with your conclusion.  I continue to be amazed at how intuitive Google 
Mini is and rate it head and shoulders above Alexa.

 

Before I order that Thermostat, I’m wondering if you know which Honeywell is 
the newest and greatest?

 

Regards….Reg

Hi Reg,

 

Did you just order it or is it already hooked up? As for the Google Home I must 
say that I am impressed with it and while I'll put my thoughts in a separate 
post along with my review of the Nest Hello video doorbell I just bought for my 
business, I think I like it a lot more than my Echo speakers. Of course the 
Echo has the advantage that is gives me access to my Audible library, but so 
far for most other things I have tried I find the Google Home better.

RE: looking for a good single ear piece for my iPhone

I constantly lose my earpieces so I go with the pretty good but under $40 
Plantronics PTL M165. The sound is pretty good and the microphone fair. The 
little wire loop that you can snap on or off that goes around your ear means it 
never falls out when you run into that bush or turn your head too fast.

The 5200 is fine. It has four noise canceling microphones. I use it for

I find it to be more comfortable for all day use than the Voyager Edge that I 
had before this one. I tried out the Legend before I bought the Edge and the 
Legend felt bulky for me. The 5200 has a similar design to the Legend, but it 
doesn’t’ feel as heavy and again, it doesn’t use that magnetic connector that I 
wasn’t hot on either. Keep in mind, the 5200/Legend are anything but discrete. 
They’re fairly big and use a boom mic The Edge has a slightly smaller footprint 
and uses those plasticky ear hooks whereas the 5200/Legend is one solid piece. 
Where you swivel the boom mic depending if you want to use your left or right 
ear.

I’m not aware of any other single ear piece that has four mics like the 5200. 

Another thing to consider and why I prefer the Plantronics earpieces is that 
they can be turned off/on with a switch instead of having to press and hold a 
button to power on/off.

There’s also a Plantronics iOS app that you can access to enable/disable 
features. I for the most part have a lot of the extras turned off, but they’re 
there if you want to use them.

I’ve not seen the Legend so I do not know what it is like, but the price on the 
Legend is around $119, compared to $28 and some change for the Explorer 50.

The E50 as it shows up in Bluetooth, has 11 hours of battery life.

updated model would have improvements.  One thing i know is that the Legend has 
a magnetic connector for charging, and the 5200 has the traditional micro USB 
connector. Many folks didn't like the magnetic connector because it could 
easily be jarred and disconnected from the headset.

RE: First thoughts on our new iPhone 8

[Reg Sullivan]

Hello List: 

After meeting Sieghard a few years ago on this list and talking with him by 
phone my wife and I finally got to meet him in toronto earlier this week. 

My opinion of Sieghard was already a tall one because of his tremendous 
contribution to this list and his broad business and technical knowledge while 
chatting with him by phone. 

Let’s just say we had an enthusiastic lunch with him and his lovely Philippino 
wife Jackie which all enhanced our friendship.

I also agree that having my IPhone 8 for a week now, it is very snappy and 
smooth.

I would love to hear anyone’s case suggestions for the Iphone 8 and where you 
ordered them from.

 

As a Canadian from Newfoundland I came away from the show today feeling very 
proud of our Country and how Gander made hosting folks from many corners of the 
world a fun time. 

I’m sure some of those folks hadn’t heard or seen anyone from Africa previously 
to that experience.  I bet it broadened their minds on how all folks can be the 
same when a crises begins.

We absolutely loved the show and the music was incredible.

 

Thanks moderator for allowing us to inject a little personal human content into 
the list and now our friendship will forge ahead because of this list.

 

Best Regards….Reg

Subject: First thoughts on our new iPhone 8

 

Hi,

 

After returning from a week in Toronto where my wife and I attended a trade 
fare and visited with a friend of mine for a few days we returned last night 
and found our new iPhone 8's which arrived during our absence.

Using my iPhone 6S Plus to set up the iPhone 8 worked flawlessly, I was able to 
scan the code and all the settings including Wi-Fi password and the credit 
cards I had set up for Apple Pay got transferred. I only had to verify the 
cards by entering each card's 3-digit card verification code.

Apart from that I did choose to set up as a new phone and spend about 6 hours 
downloading all my apps, putting them in the order I want, setting up folders 
and what is more, signing into all my home automation apps, my main bank app, 
the bank apps for my Visa and Mastercard, PayPal business, Facebook, Google, 
Audible including re-downloading my books and all the stuff I use.

I must say setting up as a new phone if you are a fairly heavy user of the 
iPhone with all these type of apps is definitely a bit of a pain, but I usually 
find it is worth it with a brand-new phone.

We also received the Mophie and Belkin wireless charging pads I ordered on 
Black Friday, my wife likes the Mophie one and I must say I probably would 
prefer it as well, but I'm not sure if I will send the Belkin back. The Mophie 
is quite noticeably smaller in diameter, has a bit of a softer coating and it 
comes with a wall charger and uses a Micro USB cable.

The Belkin uses a proprietary AC adapter so should it for some reason fail it 
would be a lot harder to replace than a Micro USB cable.

I also ordered two more less expensive wireless chargers from Amazon, one is a 
stand, I'll see how they work. Both the Belkin and Mophie work with a basic 
case on and seem to e not super picky as to how you put the phone on it as long 
as it is reasonably centred.

Unfortunately we had a number of 6S cases and none of them work for the iPhone 
8. They fit just fine, but the camera lens on the iPhone 6S is higher up in the 
corner of the phone and all the cases we have half cover the camera lens of the 
iPhone 8.

Apart from this the phones are very snappy and definitely feel a bit more 
responsive than my wife's 6S and my 6S Plus, the virtual home button takes a 
little bit of getting used to, but it's fine and I like the fact that these 
phones are much more waterproof than my 6S Plus.

 

Thanks, Reg and Kathy, for meeting us for lunch, you are lucky, Reg, my wife 
really wanted to run off with your new black lab.

I hope you enjoy the show today, for reference, this refers to Reg Sullivan who 
is on this list, going to see the musical Come from Away together with his wife 
today. Apart from my friend driving us to Niagara Falls, my wife and I went to 
see this musical on Sunday and if anybody has a chance to go I can only 
recommend it, it's an awesome show. The topic is 9 11, but not the New Yor 
tragedy, this is about the town of Gander, Newfoundland, Canada which has a 
population of a little over 9,000 and during this attack on New York 38 large 
planes were forced to land there and about 7,000 people had to be sheltered and 
fed there for 3 days. It's a story of loss but also of incredible generosity, 
resilience and love.

 

Take care,

Sieghard

That was $995 or whatever US, but still that would be $1,300 or or so Canadian 
at the current exchange rate which is pretty much half of what it is being 
listed for on Amazon.ca. Anyhow, I haven't checked other places, I'm sure 
between Walmart, Best Buy and so on one can find a better deal, but then again 
I'm not looking. I have a 20 minute walk from my house to my store every 
morning and another one back in the evening although if I walk quite fast I can 
do It in 15, it's about 1.2 or 1.3 Km each way, about a mile and a half return 
for all you Americans.
My store is 2 floors so I usually run up and down the stairs at least a half a 
dozen times each day which is a couple of hundred steps and especially in the 
winter month my wife and I try to get to the pool at least once a week. Of 
course one can always do more exercise, but what I do seems to be enough to 
maintain my weight at about175 pounds give or take 3 or 4 pounds. I am 5 
feet 11 inches and my involvement in competitive gymnastics before I became 
blind at the age of 16 along with growing up on a farm seems to have given me a 
base level of fitness which even without doing that much nowadays I still 
maintain and benefit from.

manually and don’t' bother with the programs. The other huge plus is that the 
safety rails are longer than your average treadmill and there are 
speed/elevation controls built into them so you don't have to hassle with 
fiddling feeling around on the front consul and can keep your hands on/around 
the rails for safety. You can set up to four profiles so that it can remember 
your weight/height or whatever. My sighted wife just knows to put it back to 
mine whenever she's done using it. 
As I mentioned, I mainly use the manual function and haven't really played with 
Run Social or those types of apps, but The associated Nautilus app is 
completely VoiceOver accessible. After my hike/walk, I can synchronize the 
workout and review my stats. Duration, speed, heart rate, calories burned. My 
Fitness Pal which it can also pare to is accessible. None of these apps that I 
know of will actually allow you the ability to control the machine. I'm not 
aware of any treadmill that does this. At least not in the way we would want 
it. I guess there's the line of Peloton treadmills that are Internet connected, 
but it's probably not what you're looking for. That and then you're talking 
around $4000. I don't know what your budget is.

For me, this works more than fine with the easy to access controls. I just 
throw on my Aftershokz Trekz Air headphones and blast them timing myself by 
song. Jog for two, walk for five, full on run for three, etc. Being able to 
slow down or speed up via the rails is a major plus and convenience.

I have the Nautilus T618: https://www.treadmillreviews.net/nautilus-t618/
I'm 6-2 FT tall. So for me, the longer and wider belt for me was a necessity. 
It has a capacity of up to 350 LBS. I fluctuate between 212 and 230 LBS 
throughout the year depending on the season (holiday eating here we come baby) 
and usually throw on a 30/40 LBS backpack and hiking boots for the extra 
calorie burn and resistance. So having an all around sturdier machine was also 
something I was looking for when I was deciding on what to get. 
There are a bunch of machines with similar specs, but what sold me on this was 
the fact that yes, while there is an LCD display and it is menu driven like 
with lots of machines isn't ideal if you're blind, the speed and elevation 
controls are distinguishable tactile buttons instead of a touch screen

Hi all,
I am strongly considering the purchase of a treadmill, and I would like to get 
one that has accessibility for controlling the machine via the iPhone. Sole

Store. I currently am using the TapTapSee application to capture a image of the 
screen and read the bg reading to me. This works well enough for now but it 
will be nice to have the app on the phone with the Voice Alerts active. This

RE: Seeing AI help

[Reg Sullivan]

Sounds like you are describing User Error in your post.
You can be assured that if the bar code is in focus it will read, assuming the 
code is in the data base.  The fast beeping is to guide you to the code.

When using Short Text mode, the app only needs to get a quick picture of the 
page.  You should then either move your device away or put your hand over the 
camera and just listen to it read.

it. it was so frustrating and a thing that should take a few seconds could

If you want to read mail or some printed info, use the quick text mode. 
Raise your phone up slowly from the printed text and it will start reading. 
This is a live reading, no processing, so when it starts reading you can 
pull the phone away, and it will continue reading what it saw.
To read bar codes go to product mode, and it will beep faster as it begins 
to see the bar code.  Try those two out for now.

I've tried to get it to work a couple of times now, with absolutely no luck! 
I think it's human error. I really don't know for sure though.


I tried to read a can yesterday. It wouldn't do anything. So I switched

I am holding the camera above the item, and moving the phone slowly back
and forth.

Is this how I should do it?


Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.


Thank you,

Hello Reg. In iOS 11 you can opt to have the edit mode turned on or
off with VoiceOver. If it is on, then you just have to flick up/down
on an app or folder on a home screen and VoiceOver will announce
editing. If the option is turned off, then you will have to double tap
and hold to turn on editing mode. Like Sieghard, I'm glad they removed
the extra verbage from the announcement we got in iOS 10 when on the
home screen. I did like this new thing with the ability to turn the
feature on or off depending on how you wanted things to operate. Until
that is I accidentally flicked ever so slightly on my home screens and
heard VoiceOver announce "editing", and then I quickly flicked up or
down again to go back to the default selection mode. To turn this
feature on or off, go to the VoiceOver settings, which is
settings/general/accessibility/VoiceOver, and then toward the bottom
you will hear Rotor, and then Rotor Actions. Double tap the rotor
actions item, and you can select whether you want this to be turned on
or off. I do like the convenience of flicking to the editing option,
but I have also almost deleted apps at times, and I don't like that at
all.

RE: Edit Mode

[Reg Sullivan]

Thanks everyone.  I guess I need to listen  to the podcast on the changes.

Always great to have the resource of this list to keep us on track.

 

Thanks   again.

Hi Greg,

 

Were you still on iOS 9? iOS 10 already had the flick up/down option when you 
were on the home screen to go into editing mode which before used to be the 
double tap and hold.

I really like the fact that Apple has removed the “Actions available” 
announcement each time you touched or flicked to an app on the home screen, in 
iOS 10 that was announced so you would know that flicking up or down does 
something.

You are likely flicking up or down with one finger accidentally. That is how 
you now get into edit mode to move apps, delete apps, etc. 

One finger flick up or down on any icon will start edit mode. Flick in the 
opposite direction toget back to the default, activate mode.

HTH,

RE: Logitech K4 80 instructions?

[Reg Sullivan]

Sieghard, you always come to my rescue!

Who would have known just to input without any apparent field to use!  

I guess those with experience would have.  Now I have the experience thanks to 
you!

Keyboard is working like a charm!

 

Thanks again!

Reg,

 

You simply type the code on the keyboard using the number row  keys and 
pressing enter afterwards should do the trick.

Did you mistype regarding the model number? Did you buy a K480 or a J780?

I posted last week Best Buy Canada had it on sale, regular $99.99 on for 
$69.99. That was  until October 5.

On October 6 I received an email from Best Buy with “Yellow Tag” deals and 
while I thought about ordering the keyboard when it was $69.99 I forgot to do 
so. Anyhow, I checked it again and now it’s down to $59.99 for this week’s sale 
and I did now order it.

My wife and I have to go back to Calgary in two weeks and this way I can have a 
full-sized keyboard with Numpad and a USB dongle to use with my laptop and I 
can pair my iPhone as the second device via bluetooth. I don’t often use a 
keyboard with my iPhone and already have a K811 which is a compact size 
keyboard specifically for Apple devices and without Numpad, but I usually 
prefer to use an external keyboard with my laptop especially if I work on it 
for several hours so this hopefully will work out well.

I might bring the packaging as well and in case I don’t like it I’ll just go to 
a Best Buy in Calgary and return it.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hello all. 

I also just received my new K480 Keyboard and am trying to pair it with my Dell 
Windows 7 machine

After holding the left pairing button the keyboard displays. 

When I click next I have two choices:

Create a pairing code for me or Enter your pairing code.

When I choose Create a pairing code the code displays but there doesn’t appear 
to be a field to add it?

Is there some other way of using this code to pair the device?  Am I missing 
something?

Hi mary,

Yes, the other key is for Android or Windows devices

 

The only small keyboard I ever found that had the VO keys on both sides was the 
AmazonBasics Bluetooth keyboard, which was my go to keyboard, but they seem to 
have stopped making it.

 

Yes, remove the battery cover, take out that plastic strip, and the on/off 
slider is on the other end of that groove from the battery case, slide it away 
from the batteries to turn it on.

The sequence I have found to avoid the double typing is to have the phone 
already on when you turn on the keyboard.

When you are done, lock the phone before turning off the keyboard.

 

You can kind of use both hands for VO commands by holding the right options key 
and the left control key, plus the letter, etc.

It is awkward, but easier than trying to hold say both control and options and 
the letter a with your left hand, grin.

 

Richard

Hi richard,
You did mention one of those keys which you used to pair I-devices. What is the 
other one? Is it used for non-I-devices or something else? I did see the 
plastic strip and was wondering about that. I mean I see it sort of sticking 
out of the keyboard. I guess I have to open up the battery compartment or 
something. I guess I'll figure it out eventually. It's disappointing but not 
surprising, that they don't have the full set of Control keys on both sides of 
the space bar.  That means you can't do commands with your right hand that 
require the VO keys. That's my pet peeve against most all keyboards except the 
truly full-size ones.

Hello  Sieghard and thanks for the tip.  I will try again.  The other trick is 
that I only appear to have about 10 seconds before the window closes.  Not much 
time for somebody to read the number and me to key it. 

 

Yes, the keyboard is definitely a K480, really nice feel to it and great layout.

I paid $48.88 from Amazon.ca.

The up arrow is obviously just above the down arrow.

The top row from left to right is:

Escape, f1 through f12, then a key that seems to behave like the home button, 
and the last key is delete.

Yes, pairing a different device with each position of the dial is correct.

You hold down the right most button of the two rbuttons above the delete key is 
the one for pairing iOS devices.  You hold it down for a few seconds until it 
starts blinking if you have someone arrow who can see it, or until the keyboard 
shows up in your bluetooth settings.

I assume you found the battery compartment and the plastic strip you have to 
remove to allow the batteries to make contact and the on/off switch.

located. I'm sure they're all there. Just the question which one is where? 
Also, I found the dial that you used to switch among the three possible devices 
you can pair. I assume that you put the dial on one setting, pair any device, 
move to the next setting and repeat.

Martin, give them a phone call.  You will likely get either the visually 
impaired owner or her husband who did the design for her.

They are very nice folks to deal with. I have had  two great experiences with 
them, they are very flexible and will surely let you know what they can and

The reason for my having Sounds turned off was I was using my Braille display 
to read a book and didn't want to hear the clicks when I advanced to the next 
line.  I guess Apple felt that if Sounds was turned off, it would be able to 
verbalize whether or not the screen was locked.  It didn't matter to me because 
when I do have the Sounds turned on, I'd rather hear that tone than the voice 
telling me that the screen was locked.  Anyway, to each his own, I guess.

It will be interesting to see if Apple gives users more control over this in 
iOS 11, either take the “screen locked” message away completely and replace it 
with a more unique sound or let people decide if they want to hear the message 
but not at the expense of loosing all other sounds.

In a way this is a trivial thing and I wonder who the heck at Apple has nothing 
better to do than to come up with these things which of course also take time 
to implement where they could spend that time fixing more important issues.

RE: Questions about Uber

[Reg Sullivan]

In toronto the app certainly has many different ride options and perhaps it is 
an incorrect assumption on my part that the app is uniform across all cities.
After entering your destination, swipe to the right to the first tab after the 
back button.   
All ride categories are in this tab beginning with Economy options on page one 
of four.  
A three fingure swipe to the left will turn the pages of ride categories.  
Swiping to the right on each page will allow you to explore the various options 
for each ride category along with the price associated with each choice.

Last night we hosted two of Uber’s finest spokes persons from their management 
team.

It was a very informative evening with lots of great questions and positive

I’m posting the minutes of the meeting below in hopes that they will answer any 
additional questions that list members may have.  

 

As an Uberf client I will also be happy to answer any additional questions that

By the way, the Uber service in Toronto is head and shoulders above any of the

Subject: [GTT-Toronto] Notes from last night's GTT meeting on Uber

 

Thanks as always to Christine Malec for preparing these awesome notes!

Jason opened the meeting. Tonight we have a representative from Uber to talk 
with us. Next month’s meeting will be Chelsie talking about Siri tips and 
tricks. In May or June we’re open for topic suggestions. You can send an email 
to gtt.toro...@gmail.com <mailto:gtt.toro...@gmail.com>  with any suggestions. 
We have Adam Blinnick, Director of Public Affairs for Uber Canada, and Brian 
Crook, an operations manager for Uber accessibility. After they discuss Uber in 
broad terms, Jason said he will give a demonstration of how to use the ap. 

 

With raised hands, Adam saw that about 3/4 of those present have used Uber. 
Uber was founded in 2009. It had relatively humble ambitions. Two people had 
sold their businesses in San Francisco, where it’s hard to get a cab. Initially 
it was framed as a luxury service, only “black cars” As the experiment got 
going, it became clearer that transportation is an issue for many people. 
Owning a car or taking taxies is expensive, and public transit can be 
inconvenient. Also, a lot of car-owners are happy to turn their car into a 
revenue-generating device. Uber is now in over 400 cities worldwide. The 
flagship product is UberX. The ideal is, giving rides to your neighbours. Uber 
has been able to increase transportation to parts of cities that were 
previously inaccessible by transit, or if you didn’t have a car. Calling a taxi 
was time-consuming and inconvenient, as you had to sit staring out the window. 
Now, Uber cars often are available within 5 minutes. It also allows you to 
track the car as it is coming to you. The lower cost of an Uber ride is 
indisputable; it’s 30-40% cheaper than a conventional taxi, and Uber pool is 
even cheaper. 

The ap is free from the ap store. You download it, create a profile, then 
connect a payment method to it, and you’re ready to go. It’s a seamless 
experience to when the driver arrives, and you don’t have to pay when you exit 
the car; the ride is charged to your payment method. Up-front pricing has now 
been implemented; the price you see before you request the ride is the price 
you’ll pay. 

Safety is important in the design of the ap, and during the ride. Adam outlined 
several policies and procedures implemented with safety in mind. Every driver 
who wants to drive for Uber must complete a criminal background check. Also, 
Uber has insurance which covers the rider. When you request a ride, you don’t 
have to wait outside, as the ap lets you track the driver. This increases your 
safety. When you request the ride, you get the driver’s name, license number, 
and a description of their car. You also have an opportunity to contact the 
driver via phone or text, to give more specific information about your pickup 
location. During the trip, other

One of them absolutely yelled her head off at me stating I didn't give her a
heads up, then insisted I bring loads of blankets to cover her intire car
even though the dog was on the floor.
UBER will just talk to the drivers, but I have found out earlier this week
that UBER technically can't do anything to the drivers though UBER will say
they can disallow them from using the platform.
UBER has contacted me when I report it within 24-48 hours, but again, all
they will tell you is that they will talk to the driver.
If the driver charges you a cancelation fee, you will get a credit for that
fee towards your next ride.

Hey guys,

I am about to start using Uber.  Question, how have you found a lot of 
the drivers with guide dogs?  I figured most of them are probably pretty 
good but wanted to ask.  How do you guys usually handle it?

Cheers,

FW: [GTT-Toronto] Notes from last night's GTT meeting on Uber

[Reg Sullivan]

Folks, The Getting together with Technology group, a bunch of visually
impaired and blind folks meet monthly in toronto.  

Last night we hosted two of Uber's finest spokes persons from their
management team.

It was a very informative evening with lots of great questions and positive
dialogue.

I'm posting the minutes of the meeting below in hopes that they will answer
any additional questions that list members may have.  

 

As an Uberf client I will also be happy to answer any additional questions
that you may have. 

By the way, the Uber service in Toronto is head and shoulders above any of
the Taxi Companies or at least that is my opinion.

 

Best regards..Reg Sullivan

Subject: [GTT-Toronto] Notes from last night's GTT meeting on Uber

 

Thanks as always to Christine Malec for preparing these awesome notes!

Jason opened the meeting. Tonight we have a representative from Uber to talk
with us. Next month's meeting will be Chelsie talking about Siri tips and
tricks. In May or June we're open for topic suggestions. You can send an
email to gtt.toro...@gmail.com <mailto:gtt.toro...@gmail.com>  with any
suggestions. We have Adam Blinnick, Director of Public Affairs for Uber
Canada, and Brian Crook, an operations manager for Uber accessibility. After
they discuss Uber in broad terms, Jason said he will give a demonstration of
how to use the ap. 

 

With raised hands, Adam saw that about 3/4 of those present have used Uber.
Uber was founded in 2009. It had relatively humble ambitions. Two people had
sold their businesses in San Francisco, where it's hard to get a cab.
Initially it was framed as a luxury service, only "black cars." As the
experiment got going, it became clearer that transportation is an issue for
many people. Owning a car or taking taxies is expensive, and public transit
can be inconvenient. Also, a lot of car-owners are happy to turn their car
into a revenue-generating device. Uber is now in over 400 cities worldwide.
The flagship product is UberX. The ideal is, giving rides to your
neighbours. Uber has been able to increase transportation to parts of cities
that were previously inaccessible by transit, or if you didn't have a car.
Calling a taxi was time-consuming and inconvenient, as you had to sit
staring out the window. Now, Uber cars often are available within 5 minutes.
It also allows you to track the car as it is coming to you. The lower cost
of an Uber ride is indisputable; it's 30-40% cheaper than a conventional
taxi, and Uber pool is even cheaper. 

The ap is free from the ap store. You download it, create a profile, then
connect a payment method to it, and you're ready to go. It's a seamless
experience to when the driver arrives, and you don't have to pay when you
exit the car; the ride is charged to your payment method. Up-front pricing
has now been implemented; the price you see before you request the ride is
the price you'll pay. 

Safety is important in the design of the ap, and during the ride. Adam
outlined several policies and procedures implemented with safety in mind.
Every driver who wants to drive for Uber must complete a criminal background
check. Also, Uber has insurance which covers the rider. When you request a
ride, you don't have to wait outside, as the ap lets you track the driver.
This increases your safety. When you request the ride, you get the driver's
name, license number, and a description of their car. You also have an
opportunity to contact the driver via phone or text, to give more specific
information about your pickup location. During the trip, other safety
features are in place. You're always on the map, being tracked by GPS. You
can also use "share my ride," which allows someone, such as a family member,
to track where you are, they don't need to have the Uber ap in order to do
this. You don't need to have your credit card or cash on you to take the
ride. After the ride, you have access to a rating system, which allows you
to comment on anything about the driver that concerned you. This allows Uber
to track patterns in driver behaviour. There's 24/7 support if you have an
urgent concern about your ride, or left a personal item in the car etc.
There's also a record of every trip you take. You get a copy, and Uber keeps
a copy, in case later follow-up is necessary. 

In Canada, Uber is throughout the GTA, where the average wait time is 5
minutes or less. Most of southwestern Ontario is covered, as well as lots of
eastern Ontario. In the west, Uber is operating in the greater Edmonton and
Calgary areas. 

A member raised the point that making a customer service complaint was quite
difficult. It took a long time to find the phone number, and he had to leave
a message

RE: Anoying announcement

Hi Kliphton,

 

Unless you have an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus and this is different than on the 6S/6S 
Plus or 6/6 Plus what yu say is not correct. I have hints disabled and the 
"Actions Available" message is still spoken whenever you change focus to a 
different app on the home screen. I guess Apple wants to make sure users 
realize that there is now the new "Arrange Apps" rotor function, who knows if 
down the road other rotor options could be added.

It is just one of these things one gets used to just like when Apple introduced 
the "Dock" announcement whenever you touch one of the apps in the dock for the 
first time. If you touch one and it is announced as "Dock, Phone" and then if 
you touch any other dock app the "Dock" announcement is no longer spoken, but 
it is the first time. I do think that the "Actions available" announcement 
could be restricted to when Hints are enabled and I have sent Apple 
Accessibility feedback accordingly a while back. I guess anybody who feels the 
same way should write to accessibil...@apple.com 
<mailto:accessibil...@apple.com>  and request this because if nobody does it 
will not be changed.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hello everyone.

While I am committed to Apple Music as am subscribed to the family plan, I’m 
sorry, but wow! Spotify is now completely accessible from what I can see. The 
interface is also no longer hard to use. Found out today that Spotify is RNIB’s 
app of the month so thought to check out the latest version and am amazed so 
far with the usability and accessibility of the app. Sure I used Spotify 
countless times before, and there was always something missing with the app. 
That seems to now be a thing of the past. As for membership, the free one will 
do. I can live with ads.

Happy listening!!!

Hello everyone,

I am not quite sure where else to ask this question. So I hope it is all right 
that I chose to ask it here?

I have the premium version of Spotify, and I use it on my iPhone five ass all 
the time. I love it! Anyway, I have been wanting to hear the latest album by 
Adele. But for some reason, only two songs have been released that album.
Does anyone know why this is?

I have also realized this issue with Kenny Chesney's latest album. Why does 
this happen? Am I missing something? Is there a way to find a whole album?

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Hound also does currency conversion, for those like me who have fallen
in love with this new personal assistant.  I find it does more than
SIRI, including identifying more songs.  I visit an Italian restaurant
for lunch that has not changed since the 1950s.  It has an authentic
functional vintage jukebox stocked with 45 rpm jazz records from the
50s and 60s.  Shazam used by SIRI only recognizes half the music and
Hound recognizes nearly everything.  hand it to Hound for knowing the
jukebox in ethnic Chicago.

RE: Spotify Premium

[Reg Sullivan]

Loving Spodify Premium.  
It seems more intuative on my Iphone compared to my windows Labtop. 
Less key strokes and more relevant to the task being performed.
E.G. Every album or song has a "context" button beside it when tapped allows 
for several media management options, E.G. add to a folder.


Enjoy 

Reg

RE: Spotify Qaining Battery Life

[Reg Sullivan]

While on the Spodify topic, I am still getting familiar with it.  On the IPhone 
there is a context button  which brings up a menu for adding every song to a 
play list.  This is fantastic.  Has anyone figured out how to perform the same 
function using Windows 7 & Jaws version on their labtop?

RE: BlindSquare Navigation App - Free during July August, 2015

Yes, the Pan am games will come to an American city soon and you will get to 
know more about them.
This is a great initiative to promote mobility of the disabled community that 
are part of the Para Pan am games around our great city of Toronto.
It makes us proud to be Canadians.

 Hi Canadian,
 
 I received an email today and know BlindSquare is offer for free in the 
 month of July  August! I cut and paste the content of the email below:
 
 *** Begin Note ***
 
 Hi Everyone,
 
 As most of you will know, this summer Ontario is hosting the Pan Am and 
 Para Pan Am Games, which are the largest multisport games Canada has ever 
 hosted. These events will only increase the flood of summer tourists and 
 visitors that Ontario sees every year. For those visitors to our province 
 who are blind or partially sighted, independent and safe navigation can be 
 a real challenge. This is why CNIB is proud to announce that BlindSquare, a 
 navigation app that won our Winston Gordon Award for Accessibility, is 
 being offered free of charge to all for the months of July and August.
 BlindSquare is the world’s most popular accessible GPS-app developed for 
 individuals who are blind or partially sighted. It describes the 
 environment, announces points of interest and street intersections as its 
 user travels or plans future journeys. It’s been programmed with points of 
 interest -- hotels, restaurants, Pan Am and Para Pan Am Games venues, 
 festival locations and more. Users with vision loss can rely on BlindSquare 
 to help them safely and independently navigate the Greater Toronto Area 
 (Toronto and a 250 km radius) during their visit. Sighted users who are 
 visitors to the GTA can also benefit from its clear and easy-to-use 
 interface. BlindSquare is available in 22 languages, thus positioning it as 
 ideal for visitors to and participants in the Pan Am and Para Pan Am Games, 
 the largest multi-sport games Canada has hosted.
 BlindSquare - which is available exclusively through Apple’s App Store – 
 uses GPS, the iPhone compass and FourSquare to deliver information verbally 
 about what is around the user. The app can be used to find the most popular 
 eatery within a radius of interest, as well as to find a specific venue. 
 Users can shake the device for updates on where they are and information 
 about nearby intersections and venues. BlindSquare also tracks progress 
 towards a destination and can mark a position, helping its user to find 
 that spot again later.
 To learn more about BlindSquare you can read our media release here.
 BlindSquare has created a video announcement you can watch here. Please 
 note: this video is not accessible.
 To download BlindSquare, simply click on this link.
 While BlindSquare normally retails for US$30, for July and August, 2015, 
 CNIB and BlindSquare are pleased to offer it for free to any and all 
 interested users.

RE: Your message in VIPhone was denied

[Reg Sullivan]

Perhaps, however, I received the same message and I’m not sure my post ever 
made it to the list.

There were no responses to my post titled “Air Play”.

RE: No speech on Apple TV

Good Day!  I've had this happen before.  Simply unplug the Apple TV box for
thirty seconds and plug it in again.  It will restart Voice Over.  I believe
the short cut key for the same is to hold the menu and down arrow keys for

 Hi,
 I've just received, through the post, something I ordered last week. Now, I 
 must be honest, I have only played with it for half an hour or so, but, 
 considering the price, the size, the portability, this is a brilliant little 
 toy! So, what is it?
 
 Basically, it is a small plastic ball measuring approximately an inch and a 
 half in diameter. One half of the ball unscrews and shows a sticky rubberised 
 pad. This sticky pad can be attached to, virtually, any surface. The ball is 
 connected via cable directly to your iPhone. There is a small battery case 
 for two I think they are called penlight batteries but will check on that 
 later halfway along this cable. Also, when I say iPhone, this device will 
 work with any sound output device that has an ear plug Jack so, a nano and 
 iPod and iPad or any of the android devices. What it does: it uses the 
 structure of the body to which you have attached it as a speaker. Thus, when 
 I stick it to my large fridge I get a good big sound with a reasonable degree 
 of base! Wooden cupboards are, of course, very good too! You can create 
 different kinds of sound using different items, for example, a tin might get 
 you more high-pitched frequencies. I was thinking, this might be useful for 
 people with hearing difficulties who prefer different frequencies.
 
 It is, of course, a sort of toy! But it actually works! I think it cost about 
 €12, but don't quote me on that. This is something you can put in a pocket 
 attached to the key ring or put in your bag and you could easily forget that 
 you've got it. But you do have to remember to keep the cables and batteries 
 with it. I shall play some more, but I was thinking it a worthwhile thing to 
 mention here especially with Christmas coming up! It may be that there are 
 Bluetooth versions of these which would make it even more portable! But as it 
 stands I'm very glad have bought this one for now. Below is the first scan I 
 have taken from the small bit of documentation that came with the device. 
 Maybe it will whet your appetite? And I will be back with more info, if 
 anyone is interested, that is.

then again we are bac to the discussion about the fact you have to pay to use 
Tap Tap See. You would be better off investing the $150 or whatever it is to 
get a good stand-alone colour identifier from a place like Maxiaids or Blind

the Colorino Colour Identifier which I am quite sure is still sold. It can

RE: TapTapSee

[Reg Sullivan]

Hello folks.  I've had excellent results with this APP.  Tonight I picked
two identical jars from the medicine cabinet.  I was thrilled when snapping
a picture of the first jar and when it announced, Advil tablets.
If you aren't focused, Tap Tap will simply announce what it is seeing, e.g.
cream tile floor.  As a rule of thumb, I like to hold my phone about three
or four inches from the target and move away as I snap.  This allows more
complete focusing.


Cheers and have fun with it!

Hi Grant,

I assume you are having these streaming issues when you are streaming over
WiFi? Have you tried to turn off WiFi and stream over 3G? I know you may not
want to use up your data, but just as a test? Also, if you have a PC or
laptop that is plugged into your router instead of being connected
wirelessly, do you have these problems streaming say a radio station in
iTunes?

I am asking all this because I wonder if your router could be the problem. I
recently bought 2 new Netgear routers and the WiFi on these is horrible to
the point that even though I am past the 30-day return period I have ordered
another router and will most likely just end up having to sell these on
eBay. I am not sure if it is horrible because of what's around me, but I had
Netgear work on these and try to configure them and especially the one at my
business is basically unuseable with a WiFi device, I can't even play a
video over my local network let alone stream anything on a WiFi connected
device.

Sieghard

Hello list,

Unfortunately it seems that I was a bit hasty in concluding that all
my radio streaming woes were addressed with iOS 6.1. It does seem,
however, that iOS 6.1 has significantly improved things. But
connections still drop and it is a little more tempermental than my 4S
and other equipment.

I really don't want to conclude that it's my phone which is defective,
and the fact is, since my previous iPhone 5 behaved exactly the same
way, and as others on the list are reporting similar issues, it seems
that this isn't the case.

The trouble is, the symptoms are not consistent so it's very very
difficult to diagnose what could be going on.

I sure wish there was a way to get to the bottom of this.

Anyone have any ideas how to diagnose?

RE: Major problems streaming internet radio on iPhone 5

[Reg Sullivan]

I'm beginning to think that I may move my modem/router to the room with the
surround sound system so I can plug the Labtop and the Marantz Receiver into
it.
This sure has been a tough nut to crack!  If anyone stumbles on a solution,
please let us all know!


CheersReg

Hi Reg,

OK, it was just a thought and it's good to iliminate possible causes. I just
know that I can't even make a Facetime call when I am connected to my router
via WiFi, as soon as I turn off WiFi Facetime works beautifully. Yesterday I
had to give a Microsoft Dynamics support person access to my laptop to help
me configure some SQL database settings and once again it did not work on
WiFi, after I plugged my laptop in it was no problem.

Sieghard

I continue to have drop outs and did try streaming over 3G with no
difference in the results.

Hi Grant,

I assume you are having these streaming issues when you are streaming over
WiFi? Have you tried to turn off WiFi and stream over 3G? I know you may not
want to use up your data, but just as a test? Also, if you have a PC or
laptop that is plugged into your router instead of being connected
wirelessly, do you have these problems streaming say a radio station in
iTunes?

I am asking all this because I wonder if your router could be the problem. I
recently bought 2 new Netgear routers and the WiFi on these is horrible to
the point that even though I am past the 30-day return period I have ordered
another router and will most likely just end up having to sell these on
eBay. I am not sure if it is horrible because of what's around me, but I had
Netgear work on these and try to configure them and especially the one at my
business is basically unuseable with a WiFi device, I can't even play a
video over my local network let alone stream anything on a WiFi connected
device.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hello list,

Unfortunately it seems that I was a bit hasty in concluding that all
my radio streaming woes were addressed with iOS 6.1. It does seem,
however, that iOS 6.1 has significantly improved things. But
connections still drop and it is a little more tempermental than my 4S
and other equipment.

I really don't want to conclude that it's my phone which is defective,
and the fact is, since my previous iPhone 5 behaved exactly the same
way, and as others on the list are reporting similar issues, it seems
that this isn't the case.

The trouble is, the symptoms are not consistent so it's very very
difficult to diagnose what could be going on.

I sure wish there was a way to get to the bottom of this.

Anyone have any ideas how to diagnose?

Grant

RE: Major problems streaming internet radio on iPhone 5

[Reg Sullivan]

Sieghard, good questions.  My Apple TV is  connected via WIFI.

I have a solid High Speed Internet connection.  How would I measure the
performance  of my WIFI signal?

Hi Reg,

 

Is your Apple TV connected to your WiFi or do you have it connected to your
router with an Ethernet cable?

 

If you use WiFi there could be any number of reasons for the dropouts from a
slow internet connection to a bad WiFi connection, interference from other
wireless devices etc. I had a few dropouts on my Apple TV when I had it
connected to my WiFi, as soon as I plugged it in it was not a problem any
more which means the problem was with my WiFi and not the internet
connection/speed.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

I have the same drop out issues with my Iphone 4S with Tune in Radio and am

Anyone else have these experiences?

Anyone have a fix that has worked?

Hi Grant. I just finished reading all the threads about the streaming issue
on an iPhone 5. I have tried everything you have, and I still can't stream
for more than 30 seconds. I've had three phones, and I've tried them on
different networks, both with and without passwords. Sirius and Slacker
work, but ooTunes, iHeart, TuneIn, and Wunder Radio all do the same thing.
My iPHone 4S works perfectly. Thanks, and I am curious if you ever got this
resolved.

RE: Major problems streaming internet radio on iPhone 5

[Reg Sullivan]

Clearly there is an underlying problem here.  Many posts with the same
issue, but with different configuration of Hardware, software versions and
Network architecture.
I have an older Tune in App and an IPhone 4S.  I posted this issue six
months ago and it has recently become more problematic.

I have that problem with the latest app upgrade from TuneIn Radio Pro. It
worked fine on my iPHone 5 until that upgrade. The older app still on my
iPod rth Gen works fine, side-by-side as you describe. TuneIn devs
supposedly looking into it. Are you trying to stream with TuniIn?

Subject: Major problems streaming internet radio on iPhone 5

Hi all,

For a few weeks now I've been trying to ignore this problem, or chalk
it up to an unreliable data connection, problem with the station I'm
trying to listen to, or some other thing which isn't the fault of my
iPhone.

Here's the reality. When placed beside each other on a table and
connected to the exact same WIFI network, streaming the same station
in tandem, my older iPhone 4S can play for hours without any problem.
My 5, on the other hand, constantly buffers, skips, and disconnects
for several seconds. Streaming radio is basically useless on my iPhone
5, because it just doesn't work reliably. I'd say every fifteen to
thirty seconds there's a hiccup in the stream, usually a pause of
several seconds.

I really don't get where the problem lies, because I've swapped my
phone a couple of times for unrelated issues and I remember having
streaming problems on those other phones too. It doesn't matter what
station I stream, which app I use (Safari, Ootunes, Tunein, or a
number of other radio apps I tried in the app store). Doesn't matter
which WIFI network I'm on, or if I'm on LTE or 3G. The problem still
persists.

Have set up as a new iPhone, reset all settings, reset network
settings, done a restore in iTunes, and just can't get the problem to
go away.

I'd would have thought this was a hardware problem, but weirdly, other
data works impeccably. No issues with Skype, iTunes Match, mail, or
even apps like podcast clients--streaming audio that is not live,
works fine. It just seems to be live, streaming audio that's the
problem.

Does anybody have any idea what could possibly be the problem? Can
anyone confirm whether they can use apps like Ootunes on an iPhone 5
with zero issues?

Folks, I am using my IPhone 4S to stream Tune In Radio Stations to my Air
Play Device which is connected to 

my Stereo Receiver.  I'm getting continuous   drop outs and not sure why?

Anyone out there experiencing the same?
