If you use touch typing, just find the vowel you want and keep your finger on it - there will be a small haptic buzz and voiceover will announce that a row of accented vowels have just appeared and you slide your finger slightly up and then right or left until you hear the version you want.

Dexcom doesn't use NFC; so I don't know why it wouldn't work with iphone's pre-7. Operational cost of the dexcom is higher, there's the disposable sensors(similar to libre) + a transmitter (which is also disposable, but is good for 3 months if memory serves). I much preferred the Dexcom, but as

I don't use windows ... so I can't provide a walk thru. However, ringtones are just mp3 files (with a special suffix..m4r) and limited length. So any of the aftermarket backup tools (e.g. IMazing for example) should have no problem backing up/extracting and/or transferring such files. Personally,

I have not used this feature for some time so this may not be true, but to the best of my memory, you need to go into the simulation first and then enter the area you wish to simulate. In setting you have set a search criteria around you for searching so it is not the same as you would use in
