Re: Mobile phone unwanted and scam monitoring.
Maybe Verizon is better than some at stopping those calls, I don't get many of them any more. Or, maybe it is that I simply don't answer the call if I don't recognize the number or it says the contact name, unless I am expecting a call whose number I may not recognize. I figured that the telemarketing systems would catch onto the fact that I never answered their calls and would delete my number after a while. If it is a legitimate call, let them leave a voice mail and I will call back.

Re: calls getting cut off.
This subject was discussed here a couple months ago, and after a few tries, I may have found the answer in the archives, although I wouldn't bet next week's check on it. The problem has never occured on my cheap phone, only on the last couple pro models. Go into voiceover settings, rotor, and find direct touch. Then, go into the apps that this direct touch affects, and deselect phone. I did this to see if it would stop the two-finger double tap from ending a call, and it did not. I hope it won't stop it from answering a call. Let me know if this works. Arnold Schmidt Sent from Arnold's iPhone S E 3 On Apr 11, 2024, at 2:01 PM, M.

Re: [Voice-Dream] A New Chapter
I just got the update and found that message. We probably never will know for sure, but I wonder what really happened. When I listened to the Jonathan Mosen podcast, I interpreted what their spokesman said, in effect, was that this is what we are going to do and if you users don't like it, tough. So, I wonder if they really suddenly decided to care, if Apple told them to care, or Apple would delete it from the app store which would have hurt everybody, or what really happened. Whatever happened, I am glad. It is the right thing for them to do. If they want, as they call us, legacy subscribers to subscribe, they will have to come up with some signipigant reason for them to subscribe, such as Kindle support, or the one I suggested, let Voicedream be able to import applications, exams, etc,or documents that need an electronic signature, fill in the answers and return the completed document to the sender.

Discouraging News From The App Store
Apple advisors have been known to get things wrong, it will be interesting to hear what others hear about this. I called Apple about the voice dream situation, as to whether they could disable part of their app if we don't subscribe. He was very familiar with the guideline that some on this list would say that they can't do that. He said that guideline only applied to Apple products. Third party app developers are not subject to this guideline. As I stated before, these advisors have been known tin get it wrong sometimes. Let's hope this is one of those times.

However, the only thing I have an issue with is willfully introducing code that will disable people's previous purchases. I don't think that's appropriate because it sets a precedent where any purchase you've made from the App Store could not just get out of date, but actually be revoked. That wouldn't be healthy for the community. I don't have an issue with anything else they're doing, only this one specific behaviour.To give an over the top example, screen readers have introduced subscription plans for users who want them. Now imagine if your screen reader developer wrote to you one day advising that they were going to be disabling the license you purchased, and you would then have to start from scratch by renting it again.

This would require branches in the code, ongoing maintenance for those with the existing functionality and regression testing to make sure existing functionality didn’t break. Again, you’re right. They couldn’t pull the app from the store and erase it from everyone phone, but if they just pivoted away from the app altogether because supporting it as is isn’t sustainable then what functionality would be impacted and how long would it be before it stopped functioning altogether? My point was that enforcing the guidelines won’t make a business model sustainable and keep a company afloat. Sounds to me like Winston had a great idea for an app, couldn’t keep putting food on the table the way things were, sold it to another company who’s also trying to make it work, and is now fumbling it’s way to get to a position where they can support a great app and make some money off of it as well.

There wouldn’t be any additional development, testing or technical support needed for the previously purchased app, so I can’t imagine what costs they would incur. Or do you mean the opportunity cost, as in, the lack of revenue from users who previously bought perpetual licenses and are now being asked to re-purchase, rent, our licenses again?

Re: Please submit feedback to Apple about Voice Dream Reader
Another thing to wonder about: Suppose Apple investigates and decides that their guidelines have been violated. What can Apple do about it that won't hurt everybody. They can simply remove VoiceDream from the app store. They could sue the developers and end up in court which would probably take years to resolve. Apple could issue some update to the IOS which would prevent VoiceDream from operating while the issue is resolved.Or, the developers could just say, well, to heck with it, we will simply stop supporting the thing and go out of business because it isn't worth going to court over. If any of these solutions are acurate, we all would end up worse off than if Apple just let it go.

In my case, those features include browsing BookShare, adding and reading content, various voices, and scanning documents.As was pointed out in the podcast posted here a few days ago from Jonathan, they could also release a completely new app, charge for it monthly, not update the previous app anymore, and we could then use the previous app on the terms we agreed upon.

Some are more asateric, like "please don't modify the status bar or hide system messages etc.". Some are more protective, like the one I quoted (e.g. something like "please don't take away what users previously bought and try to charge for it again"). What I'm throwing out there is that if the App Store is going to be the exclusive place where I can get apps, I'd like developers to follow the guidelines so I can get the functionality and protections the App Store is designed to offer. And I would like a mechanism to report when I believe developers aren’t following what they agreed upon.It's just baffling to me that previous purchases are being intentionally disabled and I'm a little taken aback that the arguments on either side haven't addressed this. If you know of any way to report this to Apple and get a response, I'd certainly love to hear it.I know that this app is used in many schools and universities where money is tight, and while new users have had subscriptions for a few years, it's possible that a high school or university student is still in the system with a perpetual license. What this means is that their app might be disabled around exam time in the school year, possibly without much notice. I can personally attest that the banner was not noticeable to me as a VO user and I only learned about it based on this list. I'm concerned this could impact the very demographics who are best served by this app. But more to the point, I'm questioning whether we truly are getting the protections we thought we were getting by buying from the App Store. When I switched to Apple Music I kept all the songs I'd bought outright, and even if I canceled it I would still keep those songs.

Two things. If we choose to contact Apple about this situation, is there an appropriate address to use, or just feedb...@apple.com? And if Apple says the voicedream people can't stop users from uploading new content to the current Voicedream one would have to admit that there would be little, if any reason for those who already have the app to buy a subscription. About all the voicedream people could do is to release a new app so that a user would have to subscribe to get any future updates. The old one would no longer be supported, and would work as long as it does. Arnold Schmidt P.S. I fell for it and subscribed earlier today through the app store.

What about if I did this after a month? What about six months? -or a year? What time frame is appropriate? Does time frame matter?In any case, there is a guideline (which Grant quoted) which does seem to address this. So I would be curious here to see what Apple has to say on this.Regardless, I hope there can be a good and appropriate outcome to this situation which honors the money that folks have spent and also allows the Voice Dream team to continue their excellent work!Cheers and Happy Easter to those who celebrate! :)CaraOn Mar 31, 2024, at 6:26 AM, Richard Turner wrote:If you listen to Jonathan's podcast you will learn that after May 1st, you will still be able to access everything in your library.

For example, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.This is why, for example, when the Weather Gods app converted to a subscription, existing users (those who already paid for the app) kept the functionality they previously paid for.In this case, it seems like all our purchases (Voice Dream Reader, any purchased voices, Voice Dream Scanner, etc.) are simply going to be disabled. I do have some concerns with that, because it seems like the quoted Apple Developer review guideline states that this shouldn't occur.I don't have any concerns about charging a subscription for new users, or charging existing users for updates. But I haven't ever heard of an app that is disabling previously purchased functionality from working at all. Regardless of the PR that this generates, I'm a little unclear how this is in accordance with the Developer Guidelines as quoted above.If it is, I am curious then if it would be reasonable to expect every app purchase we've made on iOS to be disabled then at some point. I'm not talking about apps not being developed anymore
Re: Has Anybody Updated to Voice Dream Premium?
I wrote them again, to find out whether it will be a completely new app, or an upgrade of the current version. They wrote back and said it will be an upgrade of the current version. So when we get updates to the current version, hopefully they will say that the subscription is necessary, rather than not mentioning it until it is too late, either you get that subscription or you are, well, stuck. I asked if we could still use the current version after May 1, and if so, what wouldn't work any more after May 1. They did not answer this. At this point, I probably will upgrade, at least for a year. Maybe I should go ahead and do it just to see what happens. I haven't hit that Apple Pay button yet, though. My current version is 4.30.0.

Re: Making everyone pay for voice dream
I agree that $60 a year is a bit much, but I think people are going to be surprised and disappointed at what they can get for alternatives. I admit that I have yet to try Dolphin Easy Reader and the Bookshare reader for myself, but reading the reviews are not encouraging. It is one thing if a few reviewers don't like an app, another when only a few reviews say an app is good. There just aren't that many daisy readers out there. I wish Bookshare would bring back the reader they had years ago. It was a good reader, for a time it actually was better than Voice Dream. But then, Voice Dream got better, I got it, and Bookshare dropped their reader of that time. Voice Dream does a lot of things really well.

Re: Making everyone pay for voice dream
There are two other alternatives worth mentioning, if what one mostly uses Voice Dream for is to read Bookshare books. If one already has a Victor Reader Stream, it can be used and books can be downloaded to it directly. Also, if one already has Jaws on a computer, Jaws has FS reader within it. It is there mainly to read FS tutorials, but any Daisy text can be imported into it. I may try Dolphin Easy Reader and the Bookshare reader, but, at this time, I probably will pay the subscription for Voice Dream.

Re: braille not translating correctly when I type.
I don't know if the following will work, it won't hurt to try. I use braille screen input, and when it starts making errors for no reason, one thing that will fix it is to type a bunch of letters and contractions, in other words, a bunch of garbage really quickly. then erasing it, It clears the memory or something, and it starts behaving as it should. There are a couple other things I can try, I don't know that they would apply to the orbit writer, such as unlocking, then locking orientation, and switching between contracted and uncontracted braille, then switching back to contracted, but typing a bunch of garbage really quickly, then clearing it always seems to work.

Re: Calls disconnecting, when I barely touch the screen of my iPhone.
I will assume that you have restarted your phone and that didn't fix it. Also, if you haven't already, reset network settings. Other than these, it sounds to me as if it might be some kind of hardware problem. If it were mine, I would make an appointment with a genius at the Apple store and let them look at it.

Bookshare's Reader
With the discussion of Speech Central for reading Bookshare books, I am curious to know if anybody has had any recent experience with Bookshare's reader? Before I got Voice Dream, I used the reader they use to have. It was good, but Voice Dream was better, so I stopped using theirs. I understand their new one started out not being so good, but maybe it has gotten better with some updates. Thanks for any opinions.

You will have to log into your wifi network again after reseting network settings, so be sure you know your password.

I also tried both books, and although they both remained in the waiting category for maybe a minute, they eventually downloaded.

Re: Voice Dream Reader
When I wrote in my earlier message that it would take a bit to open, the behavior you describe is the way it would behave for me. Give it a minute or so, then just swipe back and forth on the screen and see if it says anything. If it doesn't after maybe 30 seconds or a minute, then it probably isn't going to. If this doesn't work, or if you already have tried this, let us know how you resolve it. I am also still running 16.7.2.

Re: Voice Dream Reader refusing to open after today's update.

Sometimes, when it starts making errors, unlocking, then relocking orientation will fix it. In case you don't know how to do that within bsi, it is a three-finger swipe down. I do not know why the following works, maybe it cleans out the memory or something, but sometimes when it starts making more errors than usual, I just type a bunch of random letters together, then do the word backspace, two finger swipe left, to erase the garbage I just typed, and it fixes it. Also, I have found that a lighter touch helps. I have to remind myself, I am not writing on a Perkins brailler. Finally, make sure the screen is clean.

I would encourage others, if you have encountered the same issue, to also send a message so it can be addressed in a future update. I got the standard confirmation reply that they got my message, and would forward my feedback to the appropriate team. *** Greetings. I sent a message last week which in part talked about difficulties using Braille Screen Input (BSI) on my iPhone. I am blind and use VoiceOver on an iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 16.6. My problems with BSI are becoming more pronounced. I am having trouble making certain letters. For instance, when trying to write an "S", often an R or P is inserted. Or, when trying to Braille a T, a Q is written instead. Finally, the word "and" often appears when I try to write "the". BSI is my primary input method when writing texts, emails, or entering text in other parts of the operating system. I am having to go back and make more corrections, or even send the email on my computer. I am writing this message on a computer, since I don't trust BSI reliably enough to do it on the phone. Please consider taking a look at this issue. I don't use Siri or Voice Control, mostly because I have a lower-pitched voice and Siri has a hard time understanding me. So, BSI is my main method of writing on the phone. Sending an email from the computer works for that task, but when I encounter these letter interpreting issues with BSI repeatedly, I often resort to the virtual keyboard and predictive text. This alternative is inconvenient for longer messages. -- Wayne Merritt Certified JAWS 2023 Trainer https://www.freedomscientific.com/certification Connect with me on GoodReads: www.goodreads.com/waynesbooks -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Hi List, I’m attempting to delete some apps never used from the growing list on my iPhone 13 Mini running iOS 16.5. I keep the apps I use often on multiple home screens but the ones seldom used are only located in the App Library listing found after the home screens. I like to place the App Library in an alphabetized listing in order to find the ones to delete as opposed to using Apple’s category listings. However, I am unable to enter Edit mode when using the alphabetize listing and can only invoke drag requiring me to first drag the app to be removed to a home screen where I can then invoke Edit mode and delete it. This seems to be a major design flaw so I’m wondering if I’m missing a better way to delete an app located only in the App Library. Many thanks if others can confirm what I’m experiencing and offer a quicker way to delete an app shown only in the App Library.

I just checked, and EyeNote works fine here, on this S E 3, running 16.5. Sometimes it will work without turning on the light, but most of the time now, I turn on the light in the room, or step outside if it is daytime before even trying the thing. I don't think EyeNote works quite as well on my cheap phone as it does on the pro models. But then, they should work better, they have 3 cameras, where I only have one.

Re: Voice Over and amazon music on the iPhone.
This may help. It is that voiceover is coming through the ear piece, not the speaker. I think that I remember that it is easier to use with headphones than trying to hear it through the ear hole on your phone and do things with it. I hope this is the case, you will have to hear voiceover to do the following. Open the app, and go into the find tab. Settings should be the second choice in the find tab. Go into settings, and swipe to hands free with alexa, and check it. This should fix it, or at least, I think this is how I fixed it.

Re: Question about calls
I think that your problem is that when it asks you to select a number, there is no keyboard on the screen to use to do this. If this be your problem, go to settings, phone, and where it says incoming calls, be sure that full screen is selected. The keyboard will then be there.

Re: EyeNote Doing Nothing
Sometimes Eye Note works for me, sometimes it doesn't. But now, I know that when it doesn't, it needs more light.

Airplane Mode Question
I have always thought that when airplane mode was on, my phone would be taken offline completely unless I went into airplane mode settings and told it still to use wifi. But I just discovered that even with airplane mode turned on, it still is on wifi, and subsequently wifi calling. I tried to find the setting to configure airplane mode to take it completely offline, but can not find it. If I can't tell it to take my phone completely offline, what good is airplane mode? The purpose of airplane mode, I thought, was to prevent these devices from possibly interfering with navigation systems when aboard an airplane. Thanks for any clarification.

Re: Reading digital displays on ovens and thermostats
I have forgotten the technical details of it now, but a service with a human reading the information may be the best bet, for now. There is something about the light emited by digital displays that a human can read with little or no problem, but technology can not read very well, if at all. I hope it will get better in the future. The best solution is to have someody with whom you can face time to read it, services like Be My Eyes and Aira being a good solution, too.

Re: Apple's software updates are breaking things - is it time we delayed installing them? iMore, The #1 iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch blog
I got my iphone 5 in October, 2012, with IOS6 on it. The worst IOS update I remembaer was IOS 8. I don't remember all the details now, but among other things, there was something majorly wrong with the telephone part. That is why I waited until April, 2015, after 8.3 was released to get my Iphone 6. I usually wait until the first major update to a new ios is released before installing it, I didn't install16 until 16.2. I kno w it says all these updates contain security updates, they very well may, but I'll bet there is a little propaganda there, too, so people will install the update right away. I will never turn automatic updating on, I want to tell it when myself.

I can confirm Davy's finding and this by the way is also now on iOS 16.4 public beta so apparently it makes no difference whether the iOS version is 15, 16 or 16.4 beta. I agree with Davy in this case, people should definitely report this. I did also try this with screen recognition turned on and it makes no difference. I get 3 headings, Active, Inactive and Options. Under Options Voiceover correctly reads whether the "Share with Family" option is checked or not. Under "Active" I find a pop up button which allows you to pick app name, price or renewal date to sort your subscriptions, but while I can pick any of these options, after I do I still don't see any apps/services listed. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of davycupp...@gmail.com Sent: Monday, February 27, 2023 1:40 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: PLEASE DO DO REPORT to Apple - nolonger possible to manage subscriptions under the hood updates of Apple become more and more a drama for VIPS It is about the appstore and all subscriptions randomly of apps for which you have probably subscribed.

Re: perplexed about music recognition, Siri, notifications
It has gotten better. The information you want is on the screen, but not in notifications. Touch near the top, and the title and artist should be there. YOU may or may not be able to find it via explore by touch, so after you touch at the top of the screen, swipe left until you hear it say Shazam Music recognition, the title and artist should be after that. If you double tap the title, it will open Apple Music the same way the music recognition does.

But when I ask Siri “What song is this,” it tells me, but no notification is created.

Re: QR Code Scanner
Another question: How do you scan them? I assume they are like bar codes, in that you have a general idea where they might be, then move the phone around hoping to hit it. Does it vibrate or beep to let you know when you hit it. Finally, I have heard in tv comercials where they want you to scan the qr code.

Re: Have you Gone Wireless, Yet?
For those who have been wireless for years, your opinion would be valuable, as to how long before the batteries will no longer hold a charge. In a lot of these wireless products, the batteries can not be replaced. I still have my first generation airpods in which the batteries can not be replaced. They still work, for less than an hour. My second generation ones still work for a reasonable amount of time, I don't know for how much longer. It is why I have never bought the airpods pro.

Taylor Sent: 08 January 2023 05:44 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: vipho...@googlegroups.com Subject: Have you Gone Wireless, Yet? Hello All, I have long been a fan of Apple wired Ear Pods. I had to have my original beloved 8 Plus replaced, about a month prior to its warranty expiration because the audio function of the Lightening port went bad. For the last 6-months or so, perhaps longer, while the Lightening port on my replacement 8 Plus still functioned as expected, it lost the ability to retain a cable, unassisted. This is to say, when I hold the phone in portrait mode, perpendicular to the ground, any attached cable will fall out. I am certain that I was the blame for this as I used to frequently roll onto the phone, when sleeping; very often tangling the cable with tension for hours at a time. (How's that for too much information? (smile)). My point, I am determined not to ruin the Lightening port on my 14. With that in mind, I am doing my best to wing myself from the wired Ear Pods in favor of Apple Air Pods. Even though I like Air Pods and they are definitely more convenient to use than the wired alternative, I still find myself reaching for the wired pair, more than anything else. I was just wondering how many of you have gone completely wireless having all but abandoned the wired Ear Pods? It is interesting because when I go to Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc. I always see wired Ear Pods, with either the Lightening or audio connector, readily available. All replies appreciated.

Re: moving apps
I will try this method the next time I need to move an app. I have always thought it were as if something was slugish somehow and wasn't quite following the swiping to get to what I want. By no means is it 100 percent acurate, but I have discovered that if I swipe two selections beyond what I want, then swipe back to it, it usually does what I want. I cannot promise this will work for anybody else, maybe not even me next time.

Re: Charging Your New Phone, Anyone?
I thought the way battery optimization was supposed to work was that it would get to 80 percent and stop, and would only go on to 100 percent after learning your schedule, or every 24 hours, or whatever. Mine has never stopped at 80 percent, neither has it refused to charge if I plug it in when it already is over 80 percent. I have always just figured that battery optimization just didn't work on the cheap phones, for whatever reason. I am not quite sure what is going on. Although I wouldn't want to leave my phone connected to power for days, I have always been a little skeptical about its being all that bad to leave it connected for hours. After all, it backs itself up while connected and the screen locked.

Well Apple says it's better if your phone doesn't just sit there at 100 percent all the time. the battery optimization is designed to keep this from happening. Lets say you go to sleep every night at 10:30 and plug your phone in and you wake up at 5:30. Your phone might reach 80 percent around 12:30. Then it will stop until around 4:45 or so where it will resume charging in order to be at 100 by the time you wake up. If you use your phone more than usual and put it on the charger early, it would then charge all the way because the new schedule isn't recognized. so according to Apple, it's better if you don't keep your phone plugged in all the time. It would put your battery under unnecessary stress and could make your battery health degrade a little quicker. On 12/27/2022 8:29 PM, M.

Re: A problem with my new SE 2022
I did not get the original message, or I would have replied directly to it. These SE phones have a unique problem that doesn't seem to affect the more expensive phones. It was worse with my S E2, but it has happened twice with this one. It usually happens when a phone call ends, perhaps Facebook messenger would have the same problem. The thing just locks up. VoiceOver won't say anything, and it is not the volume having droped. It seems to be the worst if I am using my wired earpods, but I have had it happen with other headphones, too, and even when it is on its speaker. I have used vareaous fixes to get it going again. Sometimes, I can turn voiceOver off and on again and it will start working again. Other times, locking the screen for a few minutes will fix it. Sometimes, telling siri to call a phone number will straighten it out. The problem has something to do with the phone call disconnecting, making another phone call fixes it. As I say, this stuff seems only to affect the s E phones. It can go for days, and various phone calls with no problem. As with any problem, Apple would have to have one of them in front of them exhibiting the problem before they ever could investigate it.

Re: NFL audio
Being that I don't care anything about the archived or condensed games, I have the $5 a month version. I can not speak to the accessibility of the features I don't use. After the posting of the excellent directions to this list earlier in the season, I have been able to get it to play the games I am interested in, most of the time with the radio broadcast I want. It is almost a case of figuring it out again every time, it is getting better, though. I would have subscribed to xm, but I don't care enough about the other things on xm to want to pay $11 a month for it, so I wanted to see if I could make this $5 a month nfl service work. I wouldn't want to pay any more a month for it. Arnold Schmidt Sent from Arnold's iPhone S E 3 -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Siri Problem Solved
As the news commentator Paul Harvey sometimes used to say, this is just what, not why. I have no idea why. Just before doing the following experiment, Siri still was not working. A few days ago, when music recognition was discussed on this list, I decided to put it into control panel and experiment with it. It was probably about then when siri stopped working. Today, when I removed music recognition from control panel, you have guessed it by now, siri works again. I then put music recognition back into control panel, and siri still works. I guess old siri was jealous that I had put another way to recognize music into my phone, and it entered a period of sulking and pouting. But then, I guess it is over it now, I hope for good. Being that old siri uses Shazam to recognize music, it wasn't jealous when I installed that program several years ago.

Re: Another Phone That Won't Talk After Reboot
One thing I did not mention in my original message. After my friend had the sighted person enter his pass code and his phone came back on, then his watch was all messed up. Apple accessibility told him to do a forced restart of the watch, and it fixed it. So, when this happens to the phone, until they can get it figured out, I wonder if doing a forced restart of it, then turning it back on would work? I mean, there may not be a sighted person around to enter that code. It almost makes me want to upgrade just to see what camp my cheap phone would be in, but I think I will wait a bit.

Re: Face ID hit or miss
I wonder if where one is when they initially set up face ID would make a diference? I know it is not supposed to make that much of a difference, but I do wonder. When I get a modern phone and want to set up face ID, I will go outside, not in direct sunlight, but using outside light. Some people seem to have little problem using it, others just can't seem to make it work consistently. Maybe it is like those ocr programs, that only can do as well as the scan they are given. Maybe some who have a problem with it gave their phone a not so good scan of their face to start with. I know voice over said it was okay, but maybe a better scan would work better. This is just speculation on my part, I don't have a modern phone with which to experiment.

Re: Deleting Apps on the se2020
What happened when you double tapped remove app? The option to remove app should be in remove app. One thing that might be in there is that it will want to know if you want to remove it, or just put it into your library. If you want to remove it, double tap that.

Re: Deleting Apps on the se2020
Try the following: Go to the screen where this app is located, and triple tap the app name. This should bring up the context menu, and remove app should be in there. At the moment, I do not have an app I want to remove, so I can not test this solution, but I will bet it will ask you if you really want to remove it, you say yes, and it will be deleted. There may be a delete app icon you have to double tap before it asks if you really want to remove it. Let us know if this works. There are all kinds of things in these context menus when you triple tap the name of a given app, depending on the app, but remove app seems to be in all of them.Triple tapping the app name is the same as right clicking or using the context key on the computer.

However, there are areas that could really use some improvements. I would like to reach out to the developer and share my concerns. Also, what I think needs to be worked on. But it is very important to me to state what I am needing/wanting, without being ugly. Or with just saying something like, this isn't working for me.

Re: Amazon?
I did not get Kay's original post, but after reading Richard's, and now Mark's posts, I added something to my cart that I was thinking of buying, then deleted it when I decided I did not want it right now. Both functions worked as they should on this SE 2, running 15.4.1. My experience over the years is that when something doesn't work, it is often some internet problem somewhere, maybe on their end, maybe some internet switch or whatever between here and there, who knows. This type problem happens less frequently now than in the past, but it still crops up ocasionally. I try not to get too excited when it doesn't work the first time. But if it still doesn't work in a few minutes, or sometimes hours, or especially the next day, time to get upset. Arnold Schmidt Sent from Arnold's iPhone S E 2 On May 14, 2022, at 7:40 PM, M.

The problem, for me, however, was the reverse of your problem. This is to say I had difficulty deleting the items from my Amazon Cart. The solution for me was to use the explore-by-touch method in order to place my finger directly on the Delete button, then activate the button via VO gesture in order to get the option to work correctly. I suspect that you will need to use the explore-by-touch method in order to activate the Add to Cart button, on your phone. There does seem to be a video display update / focus problem with several apps on iOS after the recent updates. In short, using the single-finger swipe gesture to place focus on any given virtual button, is not nearly as reliable as it once was. I hope this helps. Mark From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Kay Malmquist Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2022 10:28 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Amazon? Today I tried to use the Amazon app, which is how I do all my Amazon shopping. I tried to click the add to cart button and all I get is my phone saying add to cart and nothing happens. I have had this happen in the past and all I had to do was flick passed the button and go back to it and everything was fine. That seemed to have been fixed in subsequent updates. I have also tried putting other items in the cart and the button will not work. So, I have a few questions. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, did you figure out a way around it? How do you contact someone to let them know about this issue? I have restarted my phone. It is an iPhone 12 Mini, running the latest IOS version. Thanks much.

Re: Apple Music playback glitch revisited.
I have Apple Music set to high quality for cellular, lostless for wifi. I have turned off Dolby Atmos, having become disillusioned with it, a subject for another thread. The problem at the beginning of tracks seems to be getting signifigantly better for me. I can play an entire album and it doesn't do it once. When it does, it seems to happen only once or twice, as with the album I listened to earlier today, when it only did it once. Now that I think about it, I don't know that it ever has this problem when on high quality, but the sample size is much smaller than when on lostless. I can go for days without it doing it on either setting. The mystery continues. Arnold Schmidt On Jan 11, 2022, at 1:49 PM, Malcolm Parfitt wrote: Some of you may remember the discussion about playback of Apple Music tracks where a pause is apparent when playing tracks sequentially in an album. You may remember my posting an example here just before Christmas. It would appear that this issue exists if streamed or stored tracks are in anything above High Quality, AAC 256 kbps. If playback is set to High Quality, AAC 256 kbps then in my experience music plays as it should. This can be controlled via the Music App under Audio Quality. Note you have to set the quality of Wi-Fi, Mobile streaming and stored media separately. This bug rather diminishes the point of Apple converting their catalogue of music to lossless at least when played on some devices.Malcolm Parfitt -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: Questions about the echo earbuds
If they say they only can be used with the iPhone 12 and later, then no, they can not be used with the S E 2, which has the processor of an iPhone 11. If I am incorrect, if somebody has used these with an iPhone less than the model 12, please let us know.

Can they be used to read or listen to music with the iphone? It says you pair them using the echo ap and iphone 12+. Would they work with the iphone SE20?
