Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

Please email accessibil...@apple.com with a message saying you are having this issue, and all the detail about your device and keyboard you can think of. In the meantime, some users report success turning VoiceOver off, typing, then turning it back on. I realize that's not a good solution, but

RE: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

Hi Ruby, I wouldn't expect this to be fixed in the first update to iOS 9 since it made it through 5 beta versions into the Goldmaster and the public release. I haven't checked if you can downgrade, but as I said before, somebody like you who it seems relies a lot on their Bluetooth keyboard

Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

Apple really seem to screw up rather fantastically whem it comes to phone, Bluetooth keyboard, and Braille display bugs with each iOS update. This is getting really old. Granted, the list of issues is much smaller than it was for the release of iOS 8, but still. Thanks, Ari > On Sep 19,

Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

I haven't really followed the discussion on this Bluetooth keyboard thing, because I almost never use a Bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone. But I have a friend who does, and he has not upgraded his phone. However he did upgrade his iPad mini, where he sometimes uses his keyboard. And it works

Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

Hi Chris, I decided to update my 4S, knowing the pitfalls, because I wanted to get in on the "bugs" and try to force some kind of immediate, total effort on the Accessability Team to fix these keyboard issues, and any others I find! My Apple keyboard is behaving like yours, just not writing in

Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

Hi Alex I'm not going to say whether you should advise people to upgrade or not. However, the bluetooth keyboard bug is quite significant to those it happens to, as it just won't speak or let you type text when you're in any sort of text edit field. It just freezes and VO stops talking. The

Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

well, in Mail, Messages, FB Messenger, etc. I simply cannot type into edit fields with my Logitech Keys-to-Go bluetooth keyboard.  I'm not sure what else I can add other than this particular bug affects me. I'm using a 6+ purchased in December. At 03:50 PM 9/17/2015, you wrote: Hi all, I'm

Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

I run a private email list for registered developers who test iOS, and it was quite common there. It was also reported extensively. It does trouble me that issues so critical were extensively reported, but not addressed before release. But this is the third year things like this have happened

Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

For me, the issue is present some, but not all of the time. Once it happens, only a reboot seems to give you a chance of getting it back. Toggling VO, Bluetooth, anything else doesn't seem to help. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training

Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

I think it's so bad because I for one reported keyboard issues in IOS8 a number of times, which went largely unsolved, apart from being able to take out Voice-Over and all would be OK when you restarted it. I had particular problems using Apple's own keyboarde too! Carol P - Original

RE: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

Hi Eleanor, It should be possible to downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 at this point, but chances are this may only work for a few more days. I don’t want this to be an “I told you so” message, but your situation is exactly why I had sent my warning message the night before iOS 9 was to be released

Re: Inability to type with bluetooth keyboard in iOS9?

Hi. Well I've had trouble using both an Apple keyboard and a Logitech keyboard. They need to fix it ASAP, as at the moment it's useless for people like me who are totally blind. Yes, I could try to type with VO turned off, but I'd always be very nervous as I wouldn't know what I was typing,
