Weird issue when phone is locked

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Maybe this isn't so weird of an issue, but something that just happens 
now. Especially with how the phone tends to work now.


But I have noticed that when my screen is locked, and I go to grab the 
phone and accidentally touch the screen, the phone will start speaking. 
It usually just reads the status information. This usually happens when 
I go across the screen to the left, or up.

Does anyone know why this happens, or what I can do about it, if anything?

It is not set to wake, or anything like that.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Amazon Echo Definitely Better than Apple HomePod, in One Respect

[Christopher Chaltain]

The Echo and similar devices are always listening for their wake up 
phrase, such as "Alexa" or "Hey Google". It's only after they hear this 
wake up phrase that they start recording what you're saying and sending 
it off to their servers to see if you're asking them a question.

Subject: Re: Amazon Echo Definitely Better than Apple HomePod, in One Respect

The story of how I got interested in the Amazon Echo is kind of funny. I didn't 
want any of those speakers either because I've heard that they are always 
listening, which of course they are. My mom had gone for a visit to see my 
cousin who had an Echo and was showing her how you can play music on it all 
with voice commands. When my mom got back she decided to get one. She is not 
tech minded at all and asked if I could help her learn to use it. I admited 
that I knew nothing about them but said I would try. When she received it, she 
brought it to my place and asked me to play with it for a few days and to bring 
it over once I figured it out which was fine. She did not have an Amazon 
account at this point but I did, so I tied the Echo to my account planning on 
doing a hard reset on it and setting it up with a new account for my mom when 
the time came. Then I started playing with it, and, well, I got hooked. Having 
radio stations and just about any album or song at your command was awesome. I 
called my mom and told her I wasn't sure I could give this up. So, what ended 
up happening was, she gave me that for my birthday and she purchased another 
one for herself which I helped her set up, she loves it. I then got a Google 
Home as well which is also very nice. If you are concerned about the devices 
listening when you don't want them to, just unplug them.

Do you use Google to search for stuff on the web? I also see you have a gmail

I agree with you, Ed. I own a couple of echoes. Generally, I find that the 
Alexa system is horrible with respect to giving the information I actually need 
or could use, outside of the weather and a little bit of news briefing. and 
most of the skills are junk games and other Time wasters. That said, I do 
appreciate the echo for the easy access to SiriusXM and to its ability for 
reading  kindle or audible books while I exercise. I’m not into the automated 
so-called smart home, so I have no comment on HomePod or echo in that regard. 
But as a music listening sores, the HomePods kill the echoes. They should, they 
are more expensive. I have a pair of HomePods that I got when the price came 
down to $500 for the pair. They sound almost as good as my wonderful  
floorstanding stereo speakers it cost me over twice what I paid for the 
HomePods. I would never consider any pair of echoes as any sort of real hi-fi 
system even for moderately good audio quality listening.

RE: Amazon Echo Definitely Better than Apple HomePod, in One Respect

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Given the strength of Google when it comes to web searches it is hardly 
surprising that their speakers are good at answering all sorts of questions. I 
will never buy a Google Home speaker, but look forward to having this available 
via Sonos once Google integration is finally added at some point during the 
first half of this year (most likely).
Sonos plans to support all major voice assistants in time and I assume that 
after Google is up and running Cortana might be next and maybe some years down 
the road Apple will open up SIRI to them as well. It won't happen any time 
soon, but I am almost certain that it will happen eventually.

This is one big difference between the Echo and Google Home. With the Echo, you 
must be more exact with your request, where as the Google Home is a bit more 
flexible. Also, when it comes to just asking for information, the Google Home 
is much better at this.

No need to unplug them since at least all Echos have a button which mutes the 
microphones.

Subject: Re: Amazon Echo Definitely Better than Apple HomePod, in One Respect

The story of how I got interested in the Amazon Echo is kind of funny. I didn't 
want any of those speakers either because I've heard that they are always 
listening, which of course they are. My mom had gone for a visit to see my 
cousin who had an Echo and was showing her how you can play music on it all 
with voice commands. When my mom got back she decided to get one. She is not 
tech minded at all and asked if I could help her learn to use it. I admited 
that I knew nothing about them but said I would try. When she received it, she 
brought it to my place and asked me to play with it for a few days and to bring 
it over once I figured it out which was fine. She did not have an Amazon 
account at this point but I did, so I tied the Echo to my account planning on 
doing a hard reset on it and setting it up with a new account for my mom when 
the time came. Then I started playing with it, and, well, I got hooked. Having 
radio stations and just about any album or song at your command was awesome. I 
called my mom and told her I wasn't sure I could give this up. So, what ended 
up happening was, she gave me that for my birthday and she purchased another 
one for herself which I helped her set up, she loves it. I then got a Google 
Home as well which is also very nice. If you are concerned about the devices 
listening when you don't want them to, just unplug them.

RE: Outlook problem

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It is of course ultimately up to you to use the Outlook app, but I am curious 
what particular reason you have to use the Outlook app over the native Mail app 
which in my opinion is every bit as good and while maybe in some ways the 
Outlook app has a feature or two that is better I also find for multiple 
accounts that I prefer the Mail app. I tried the Outlook app some time back and 
while I am sure it has received a number of updates I still much prefer the 
native mail app.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on? I can send email from

don’t get this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

And there is probably little you can do since if he needs to reset his password 
he would have to do it from his phone or, preferably, a computer. Depending on 
what he has enabled with respect to two-factor authentication it changes, also 
would depend if he has set up a rescue email address or phone number.

have him wait a while, then reboot the phone by at least powering it off and 
back on.
Then try again. It should let him try 2 or 3 more times.
But, Apple makes it very clear from the beginning that passwords are required 
to have at least one capital letter.
It is a tedious process to reset a password so hopefully the reboot will work.

Re: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

[Deb Cook Lewis]

I don' tthink the recipe part has ever been accessible. My
understanding is that you could use the buttons from the phone with a
little study. I don't htink they flick well from what I've heard. But
I would never expect th eprogramming to work based on previous
experience. You really don't need that though. I have found it
frustrating that people haven't been able to reliably describe what
does and does not work with this. I have the older model and don't
need the new one, but eventually I'm sure we all will need it.

Re: Amazon Echo Definitely Better than Apple HomePod, in One Respect

[Dave]

or with the echo, you can press the mute button, and this turns off the 
mike.


But it isn't interested, in anything we say, or sending off to the CIA, lol.

If people are worried over these kind of things, then they should stop using 
computers.

The story of how I got interested in the Amazon Echo is kind of funny. I 
didn't want any of those speakers either because I've heard that they are 
always listening, which of course they are. My mom had gone for a visit to 
see my cousin who had an Echo and was showing her how you can play music on 
it all with voice commands. When my mom got back she decided to get one. She 
is not tech minded at all and asked if I could help her learn to use it. I 
admited that I knew nothing about them but said I would try. When she 
received it, she brought it to my place and asked me to play with it for a 
few days and to bring it over once I figured it out which was fine. She did 
not have an Amazon account at this point but I did, so I tied the Echo to my 
account planning on doing a hard reset on it and setting it up with a new 
account for my mom when the time came. Then I started playing with it, and, 
well, I got hooked. Having radio stations and just about any album or song 
at your command was awesome. I called my mom and told her I wasn't sure I 
could give this up. So, what ended up happening was, she gave me that for my 
birthday and she purchased another one for herself which I helped her set 
up, she loves it. I then got a Google Home as well which is also very nice. 
If you are concerned about the devices listening when you don't want them 
to, just unplug them.

I agree with you, Ed. I own a couple of echoes. Generally, I find that 
the Alexa system is horrible with respect to giving the information I 
actually need or could use, outside of the weather and a little bit of 
news briefing. and most of the skills are junk games and other Time

SiriusXM and to its ability for reading  kindle or audible books while I 
exercise. I’m not into the automated so-called smart home, so I have no 
comment on HomePod or echo in that regard. But as a music listening 
sores, the HomePods kill the echoes. They should, they are more 
expensive. I have a pair of HomePods that I got when the price came down 
to $500 for the pair. They sound almost as good as my wonderful 
floorstanding stereo speakers it cost me over twice what I paid for the 
HomePods. I would never consider any pair of echoes as any sort of real 
hi-fi system even for moderately good audio quality listening.

[Mike Arrigo]

This is one big difference between the Echo and Google Home. With the Echo, you 
must be more exact with your request, where as the Google Home is a bit more 
flexible. Also, when it comes to just asking for information, the Google Home 
is much better at this.

RE: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

[Richard Petty]

Has the developer broken the app recently? After reading messages on the list 
in November, the app seemed to work--aside from difficulty with initial setup. 
I bought one. It's sitting in its box in my garage; I was awaiting assistance 
to set up the WiFi. Now, I will return it if the app isn't accessible. I will 
appreciate any feedback.

Re: Watching Amazon videos

Did you get the prime video app from the app store?  You should be able to 
stream whatever you want to watch from there.

RE: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

[Terrie Terlau]

I also got an Instant Pot for Christmas. I could not find a way to set programs 
with the app. However, I did use the buttons on the pot to set the program and 
received announcements on the phone when various parts of the program were 
finished (e.g., when the program was activated, when the pressure started to 
build, when the program went to the warm setting after the cooking was 
finished).
If anyone wants the description of buttons and their locations on the pot, let 
me know and I will send.
If there is enough interest, I will share with the list.
Email terrie...@gmail.com
Best,
Terrie Terlau

Hi Sandy,

Actually, since this is an iPhone app, it certainly appropriate to discuss this 
on the list. I would prefer that. I’m having some of the same difficulties you 
are. I don’t seem to be able to activate recipes that’s far. So I would be 
interested in how people are dealing with this app. I have had discussions with 
their support team, and they say that they are working on some of the issues 
that we are having. But we shall see. Thanks.

RE: Unable to delete iphone custom ring tones with latest version ofitunes JAWS2019

[Robert Wright]

Go through your list and see if any had their name changed to gw midi data.

If they have then foobar 2000 can fix that problem.

Subject: Unable to delete iphone custom ring tones with latest version ofitunes 
JAWS2019

Hello,
I am using an iPhone with iOS 12.1.2 and iTunes 12 latest version on a
pc running Windows 10 with JAWS 2019. I have a few custom ring tones
that I placed on my phone through iTunes but I am noticing that when I
go to the tones section in iTunes with my phone connected, they do not
seem to appear. The tones do however still seem to be on my phone.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Thinking that there was a different
method of deleting tones now, I went into the folder that I pasted the
tones from and erased them this way but somehow they still continue to
play on the phone.
Thank you in advance for any responses.

RE: How do I manage my iPhone SE, when I know there is a notification, yet want to make and talk on a call?

[Carolyn Arnold]

Thank you. That should eliminate those intrusions. I'll just need to be 
vigilent to check for them in the future. 

Best regards,

You could take several different approaches. 
You could try turning on Do Not Disturb while on the phone.
You could change your notification settings to no alerts, and even no sound.
You could turn off notifications completely.

case one comes in that I want to know about or even take. 

When I did get off the phone, I never could get the caller's
voice mail to play, but she speaks so well, that every word
was in text with no under score. The other was for a
prescription, which is ready now, but I knew would be ready
tomorrow. It was already dark when that message came about
the prescription, so I won't be getting it until tomorrow. 

Anyway, bottom line, is there some way that I can put all of
that notification repeat stuff on hold while I have a
conversation with someone? Thanks.

WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App

[Sandy Finley]

I received one for Christmas and have a lot of questions about the app.  If 
anyone who has one and has figured the app out, even a little bit,  could 
contact me off  list, we can share information without cluttering the list. 

The good news is I was able to connect the pot to our WIFI network very easily; 
the problems are in pulling up recipes.Here are some of my questions.

1. The app for the Bluetooth enabled pot has a Dashboard that can be used to 
configure the pot from the app. How does one control this pot from the app?

2. I see the buttons for categories of recipes but get  inconsistent results 
when I do a One-finger double tap.  On some, such as Meats and Poultry, nothing 
happens; I remain in the same screen I was in before double tapping. With 
Desserts, I get a list of desserts, at least sometimes. If I have been in the 
app for a while, tapping and backing out of screens, I have to close and reopen 
the app to get the buttons to work. 

3. Finally, I am having trouble finding an entire recipe. I find screens with 
what are called “main ingredients” but cannot always find the complete list of 
ingredients or the instructions.  What am I doing wrong?

ipad to tv.

[Billy Inglis]

hi guys, just gotten an appleipad and was wondering if its possible to 
send recordings from the ipad to my smart television?.
I like to follow my favourite soccer team on the ipad, but would love to 
watch on the larger tv screen.

Is it possible to do such a thing please?.
Any help or advice would be so helpful.

Cannot view text when on the lock screen

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem that I didn’t have before on my other phone.
If my screen is locked, and I get a text, are used to be able to swipe up to 
the Vue option, and read the text. However, now I can’t seem to do this.
Does anyone know why? And is there anything I can do about this?
Is there a setting I might need to change somewhere?

Thank you,

Terri

Outlook problem

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

I just got my new phone yesterday. I have an issue with the outlook app. I am 
hoping someone might have some answers for me. When I open the Outlook app, I 
am in the ad account area. I am asked for my email address. But every time I 
enter it, the app then closes. Or at least, I am taken out of it. I can’t seem 
to get past this.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on? I can send email from 
my account, and boo my account, once I go into the Mail app on the phone. So I 
don’t get this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Terri
