Re: VO issue while using wired earphones

[Arnold Schmidt]

I only have used the wired Apple earpods, but so far, VoiceOver is being sent 
to both earpods. I didn't even know there was a setting to send VoiceOver to 
one channel only, I will go look for it. I am using an IPhone 6.

Subject: VO issue while using wired earphones

Hello all,
I have upgraded to IOS 10 on my 6 S plus phone. I noticed that when I plug in 
my wired earphones, I only get sound from VO out of one ear. However, if I 
listen to music or podcasts, I get volumes from both ears. I don’t recall 
resetting any settings that might have caused the problem. If anyone has an 
answer, it would be greatly appreciated. I did not have this problem before 
upgrading.

Apple Music PayPal Promotion

[Joe]

Hi, have you guys seen the PayPal Apple Music promotion that gets you two
months free of service? I'm curious to know if one can tack this on beyond
the three months that are offered free to new subscribers, or if the three
months are waived once you sign up for something like this? Thanks in
advance for any help.

Re: VO issue while using wired earphones

[englishrider91]

That's odd. Is this issue only effecting the larger, plus phones? I'm running 
iOS 10 on a 128-GB iPhone 6S, and haven't ever had this problem.


Thanks,

Re: New Learning Ally App

[Hope Paulos]

The major feature that the old app does not have is the ability to download 
books into the app… You would have to physically go to the computer, put them 
on your bookshelf, and then you could download them with the older app. Now, 
you can use  the phone and search the bookshelf, put them on there, and 
download them all with one device. I have not played with the speed or anything 
like that…

RE: using siri to locate and call places

[Sieghard Weitzel]

This has happened to me from time to time, SIRI sometimes just goes bananas, 
but you may want to try and turn SIRI off and then back on. After I updated to 
the current iOS 10 release SIRI often did completely stupid stuff. For example, 
I would ask SIRI to call somebody in my contact list. SIRI wold ask me if I 
wanted to call their work or mobile number. I would say "Mobile" and SIRI would 
say Calling so and so mobile, then a moment later it would say "Sorry, I can 
find so and so in your contacts" or "Sorry, I can't make that call for you". In 
other words it found the person and asked if I wanted to call their mobile or 
work and then said it couldn't find that person. After I turned SIRI off and 
back on it all seems to work much better (at least so far) and I tried it 
successfully with a few people where before I always said it couldn't make that 
call for me.

Regards,

Sieghard

Hello Jim,

I cannot reproduce your findings.  

On four various iPhones, not including iPhone 7, Siri functions normally in iOS 
10 with VoiceOver enabled.

I tested all 4 phones using the exact same phrase as described in your original 
post, and in each instance, Siri dialed the number and the call was connected, 
successfully.

I am having a problem with siri under ios 10

Here is what I am doing and the result

Say Siri find office max
Siri responds with I found office max on county road 1 and asked do you want 
that one?
At the beep to talk I says yes
Siri responds I  can get directions or call At the beep to talk I say "call"

Then siri comes back with who do you want to call.

This happens with anything I try using the scenario above.

This used to work great under ios 9.
Any one have a solution or experiencing the same problem?

How do you get the station you're listening to stick in FM mode on the Woopower speaker?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I just got my Woopower speaker, and it seems straightforward, except for one 
thing.  How do I select a specific station in FM mode?  I understand that while 
the speaker is in FM mode, pressing the mode button starts scanning.  My unit 
briefly stops on a station, then goes on scanning.  Now for the question.  If I 
find a station that I want to hear, how do I stop scanning on it?  I thought 
hitting the mode button would stop scanning, but it jumps back a station or so. 
 How does FM work on this crazy thing?  Other than that, I really like the 
device.  I just have to figure out how to answer a call.  I know I'm doing 
something incorrectly, so I'll figure it out soon enough.  In any case, this 
device will work great in conjunction with Nearby Explorer, which is what I 
wanted it for.

Have a blessed day, and don't work too hard.

RE: Watch OS 3.0 - Viration time!

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I was just in Vancouver and stopped by an Apple Store to check out the Apple 
Watch Series 2. The time feedback after a double or triple tap is very prompt, 
I would say maybe a second or less. It's not instant as in where it starts 
vibrating after the second or third tap, but very responsive. I was very 
impressed with the new Apple Watch and have a feeling that I am going to get 
one in the next couple of months. I am a bit undecided between the Sport or 
Stainless version. I like the weight of the Sport since I did find the 
stainless version felt quite heavy, but don't like the fact it doesn't have 
Sapphire glass. Of course here in Canada there is also a $210 price difference 
between the starting price of the Sport which starts at $489 for the 38mm model 
and the stainless which starts at $699 for the same size, I would definitely 
want the 42mm which in stainless starts here at $779 and then of course I like 
the higher-end bands, but I think you can now find many of them from third 
parties for much less than what Apple charges.

Sieghard

Yeah, I have found the double tap and triple tap to be a little slow on the

RE: New Learning Ally App

[Laury-Johnson, Shawnese (LARA)]

I have the app and I’m still unable to download. I still have to go to the site

The major feature that the old app does not have is the ability to download 
books into the app… You would have to physically go to the computer, put them 
on your bookshelf, and then you could download them with the older app. Now, 
you can use  the phone and search the bookshelf, put them on there, and 
download them all with one device. I have not played with the speed or anything 
like that…

This is not an update, it is a completely new app, which can be on your device,

new app? So far, I am somewhat ho hum about it. Perhaps it is a bit easier to 
use than the old one, but I don't understand what it gives me that I didn't 
already have. The old one will read the EText books, also, as will the new one. 
Plus, I don't think the new app sounds as good as the old one, and I can speed 
up the old one to a faster rate. For now, I will keep both of them on my iPhone

Hello Regina,

I, and many others, that I know of, use the native Apple News app, regularly.

At this point, I suggest that you call the Apple accessibility support phone

simply need to single-finger double-tap the Agree/Accept button located near

It is not necessary to read through the entire terms of service agreement for 
the app.  

Also, now that I think about it, there may be a button that is labeled 
something like Get Started/Continue.  It will be located on the bottom line of 
your display.  

Also, just to keep things simple, be certain to close the app, via the app 
switcher and reboot the phone before, once again, launching the app.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

RE: best practices for managing contacts across iphone and laptops

[Alan Lemly]

Robin,

 

I'll tell you what I do to manage and sync my contacts across my computer and 
my iPhone. Be aware that this is what works best for me but that doesn't make 
it the best practices.

 

First of all, I need to say that I'm not a huge fan of doing everything through 
the cloud. I do love Dropbox and the access it has with all the apps I use to 
make sharing across devices much easier. But I don't use Apple's iCloud for 
purposes of syncing contact and other information between my iPhone and my 
desktop computer. I've been using Outlook on my home computer to read my emails 
and manage my contacts and calendar and still prefer to use Outlook on my home 
computer as my primary input of contact information. It then syncs quite nicely 
with my iPhone via iTunes to transfer contact and calendar info to my iPhone. 
On the rare occasions I've needed to add contact info while traveling with only 
my iPhone, anything I've entered that way syncs back to Outlook on my home 
computer quite nicely. If you later leave your work, I'd suggest you invest in 
a version of Microsoft Office that includes Outlook and runs on your home 
computer.

 

I have a gmail account which is set up as POP3 on my desktop computer and as 
IMAP on my iPhone. This way, I can download the email to my home computer in 
the same fashion I've always done it. I have gmail set to archive any email 
downloaded this way so I always have access via my iPhone to check all mail and 
review any email that way. I have about 15GB of space Google is giving me for 
free so it will hold a lot of archived email.

 

As I said earlier, this works best for me but there are many practices to do 
what you want and you'll have to experiment to learn what works best for you. 
Good luck.

Subject: best practices for managing contacts across iphone and laptops

 

Curious for best practices with managing and synching contacts across my iPhone 
and windows based computers where I use Outlook to read mail and manage email 
contacts. Until now, I would occasionally add phone numbers to my phone 
directly.  After I started including my work Outlook account on my phone, my 
work contact would be visible, so I found it easier to add and edit contacts on 
my work laptop in Outlook knowing they would show up in my phone.  This is 
great until the day that I no longer work at my company -- which I am not 
currently planning.  Before my home laptop died this summer, I had personal 
contacts in Outlook on my home computer, but only used that for capturing 
emails.  When my laptop died, I had to have my iPhone pull in my Hotmail 
contacts so that I could reach people.  Now I see that I have cases where I had 
entered a phone number in my phone, but there is a second entry in Contacts 
from where an email address pulls in from Hotmail.  If I combine those two in 
my phone, does that mean that I would no longer have access to the email 
address from Outlook on my personal computer? Or, is the best practiced to go 
back and move the phone number entry into the entry that comes over from 
Hotmail so that I maintain the entry in places via the Hotmail link to my 
iPhone?  If the recommendation is to always enter new contacts on the laptop, 
what do you do when you are on the go and have a new phone number to add?  

 Robin

Re: How do you get the station you're listening to stick in FM mode on the Woopower speaker?

[Dave]

when you first do a scan, let it complete. you will know when this happens, as 
the scan will stop, after going through all the available stations.

Then it is just a matter, of pressing the 2 middle keys, which are surch up and 
down.

you have to do a quick press, as a long press, will higher or lower the volume.

a quick press of these keys, will take you through the stations.

Hi.

 

I just got my Woopower speaker, and it seems straightforward, except for one 
thing.  How do I select a specific station in FM mode?  I understand that while 
the speaker is in FM mode, pressing the mode button starts scanning.  My unit 
briefly stops on a station, then goes on scanning.  Now for the question.  If I 
find a station that I want to hear, how do I stop scanning on it?  I thought 
hitting the mode button would stop scanning, but it jumps back a station or so. 
 How does FM work on this crazy thing?  Other than that, I really like the 
device.  I just have to figure out how to answer a call.  I know I’m doing 
something incorrectly, so I’ll figure it out soon enough.  In any case, this 
device will work great in conjunction with Nearby Explorer, which is what I 
wanted it for.

 

Have a blessed day, and don’t work too hard.

RE: iPhone 7 Audio with Headphone Jack Earpods and Adapter?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Alan,




I can't confirm about the remote buttons with the adapter, but I would hazard a 
guess and say they will work fine, there is no way Apple would break such 
important functionality.
As for the audio quality I think it's comparible. I just bought a set of 
Lightning Earpods and tried both them and my old 3.5mm Earpods on my 6S Plus 
and I can't say I noticed a big difference. The new ones sounded a bit fuller, 
but as I said in another message, my old Earpods have been submerged a few 
times, afterwards they sound pretty tiny and then once they dry out they seem 
fine again, but I guess they aren't as new any more, either.
I happened to see on the Apple Store app under Accessories and Headphones that 
there is a company called Audieze or something like that and they make some 
high-end Lightning earphones, here in Canada they range from $600 Canadian to 
over $1,000 Canadian, but I guess you have to compare Apples to Apples so to 
speak which means you would need a $600 or $800 3.5mm headset to compare to one 
of these high-end Lightning ones and maybe at that price point you would hear a 
difference. All in all I think with a $35 set of Earpods (in Canadian funds) 
you won't notice much of a difference between 3.5 and Lightning.

Sieghard

Subject: iPhone 7 Audio with Headphone Jack Earpods and Adapter?

I've read a lot about the removed headphone jack in the iPhone 7 and Apple's 
wired adapter for use with headphone jack earphones and its push to the $160 
wireless airpods coming out in late October. I haven't seen much about the 
sound quality using the lightning adapter wired earpods provided with the 
iPhone 7. I know I saw posts from audiophiles when the headphone jack removal 
was rumored at how much higher quality audio could be provided via the 
lightning connector.

Can anyone who has an iPhone 7 comment on how they perceive the audio quality 
with the lightning wired earpods versus how it was with wired headphone jack 
earpods on an older iDevice? I know this is a bit of apples to oranges but I'm 
just curious in general terms. I also would like to know if the remote and 
volume buttons on the old headphone jack earpods still work when connected to 
an iPhone 7 using the short adapter provided with the phone. I'm a big user of 
my wired earpods and since I have a couple of backups, I want to ensure that 
they work completely with an iPhone 7 using the adapter.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Re: New Learning Ally App

[Arnold Schmidt]

The search from within the app definitely will be easier for some people to 
use, but I have been using Safari on my IPhone to search and put books onto my 
bookshelf for about as long as I have had the app, so that is no problem for 
me. I had a Learning Ally representative tell me one day that their web site 
just didn't seem to work very well with Safari. Really? I definitely will keep 
the new one on my phone, too, to see if there are any updates.

download them all with one device. I have not played with the speed or anything

New Learning Ally App

[Arnold Schmidt]

Thanks to today's Top Tech Tidbits, I learned about the new Learning Ally App. 
This is not an update, it is a completely new app, which can be on your device, 
along with the old one. I wonder what others, who have tried it, think of the 
new app? So far, I am somewhat ho hum about it. Perhaps it is a bit easier to 
use than the old one, but I don't understand what it gives me that I didn't 
already have. The old one will read the EText books, also, as will the new one. 
Plus, I don't think the new app sounds as good as the old one, and I can speed 
up the old one to a faster rate. For now, I will keep both of them on my iPhone 
and continue to compare them. Thanks for any opinions.

RE: so who got there hands on iPhone7?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Jim,

If you are on a two-year upgrade cycle in Canada I would probably wait until 
the 10th anniversary iPhone next year. If you upgrade now and won't get to 
upgrade next year you may regret it.
Yes, the 7 and 7 Plus will be faster, they have a better camera which may or 
may not matter to you and you'll get better battery life as well as 3D touch. 
But I think the iPhone in a year will be a much bigger deal and a much better 
upgrade.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Jim,

The 7 is the same size as the 6, and the 7 Plus is the same size as the 6 Plus. 
The new phone definitely sounds better, with the stereo speakers. It's also 
faster, particularly than the 6 and earlier models. The haptic feedback and 3D 
Touch are nice as well. Only having one port for listening and charging is a 
bit annoying, though.

VO not speaking message text when in my pocket/purse

[Ann Byrne]

iPhone SE, IOS 10.  When the phone is enclosed, it signals that there 
is a message, but does not read it.  When the phone is on the desk, 
or otherwise uncovered, it speaks the message.  IOS earlier used to 
speak the message no matter where the phone was.  Is there a setting 
i can change so that it speaks the message when in a pocket with IOS 
10?  When I am walking, it's a pain to have to pull the phone out of 
my pocket, manage the dog, tweak the phone ... you get the picture.


Message preview is on.  Speak all stuff is on.

Thanks,

VO issue while using wired earphones

[denise avant]

Hello all,
I have upgraded to IOS 10 on my 6 S plus phone. I noticed that when I plug in 
my wired earphones, I only get sound from VO out of one ear. However, if I 
listen to music or podcasts, I get volumes from both ears. I don’t recall 
resetting any settings that might have caused the problem. If anyone has an 
answer, it would be greatly appreciated. I did not have this problem before 
upgrading.

RE: VO issue while using wired earphones

Denise,

Try turning VoiceOver off and then back on and see if this corrects the issue 
so you get VO out of both ears. This is what I believe others have posted about 
this problem.

RE: What is the "important" box in Gmail?

[Alan Lemly]

Mary,

 

Following my signature is the text from a page which discusses the Google 
Important folder and how to re-train its intelligence or how to unsubscribe 
from it. Be aware that this information is from a sighted perspective so I have 
no clue whether the settings referenced are accessible. The information pasted 
comes from this website:

 

http://support.postbox-inc.com/hc/en-us/articles/204362930-Gmail-Important-Folder

 

I'm pretty sure that like all things Gmail, no actual folders are involved. 
Gmail groups everything based on labels and I suspect if you're seeing the same 
message in multiple "folders", it's because it has more than one Gmail label 
assigned to it. You would normally be the one charged with assigning these 
labels but it sounds as if Google takes it upon itself to try and tag important 
messages based on some algorithm.

 

Good luck and I hope this is helpful.

 

Alan Lemly

 

Gmail Important Folder

Having lots of unimportant e-mails labeled “Important” can be annoying. The 
“Important” label is assigned to a message by Google, based on Google’s 
adaptive understanding of your interests and priorities. There are a couple of 
things you can do about this. You can do either, or both.

The Slow Fix: Re-Training Google

You can re-train Google about what’s important to you by removing the label 
from each message you don’t consider important. If there’s message that you 
think is important that Google’s has not labeled properly, you can assign the 
Important label to it. Eventually, Google’s behavior will more accurately 
reflect your wishes.

Here’s how to remove a message’s label in Postbox:

1.  Select an e-mail in Postbox’s message list.
2.  Hover your cursor over the Important label in the upper-right corner of 
the message and click x when it appears to let Google know the message is not 
important.

Here's how to add a message's label in Postbox:

1.  Select an e-mail in Postbox’s message list.
2.  In the upper-right corner of the message, you’ll see a popup menu.
Description: 
http://support.postbox-inc.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/202237834/Popup.jpg
3.  In this popup menu, select the Assign Label submenu.
4.  Assign the Important label to the message to let Google know the 
message is important.

The Quick Fix: Hiding the Important Folder in Postbox

You can unsubscribe from Google’s Important folder, so you don’t have to see or 
deal with it. (It remains on Google’s servers. It’s just hidden in Postbox.)

Here are instructions 
  
for unsubscribing from the Important folder.

After unsubscribing from the Important folder:

1.  Go to Postbox (OS X)/Tools (Windows) > Preferences/Options > Accounts > 
[your account] > Advanced…
2.  Check the Show only subscribed folders option.
3.  Restart Postbox.

I'm not exactly sure when this folder turned up. It could be, that it has been 
there for a long time. But I see that it has a lot of messages in it. Some of 
them seem to be duplicates that her and other folders, but I'm not sure about 
all. And if they are duplicates, I don't need them twice. Anyway, if somebody 
knows how to get rid of it or how to keep it from filling up, that would be 
great.

Hi all,

I have noticed that I have a box in my Gmail account called "important". I 
never set this up, nor did I specifically flag messages or senders whose posts 
should be put there. Yet I have something like 200 messages in this box.. How 
did that happen? How can I stop that? Or how can I just get rid of this folder, 
which I did not create?

Thanks, Alan. It does sound like this was intended for a particular app. Post 
box, which I assume is a Mail app for the Mac. Maybe it's possible to hide this 
folder on the phone. Kind of doubt it, but whatever. Anyway, thank you for 
posting.

RE: Tests show iPhone 7 with adapter sounds worse than iPhone 6s with 3.5mm headphone jack

[Sieghard Weitzel]

They wrote it because everybody likes to bash Apple. It is my guess that these 
theoretical test results are not something most of us would actually notice or 
hear the difference especially if you use a "normal" headset and not a $600 or 
$1,000 super high-end earphones.
When I was in Vancouver and stopped by an Apple store I actually bought a set 
of the new Lightning Earpods for my 6S Plus because I was curious as to the 
experience and the sou,d. Yes, I do often charge my phone at night when I also 
want to listen to a book on Audible so I either reach for my old Earpods or use 
Bluetooth, but I like the Lightning Earpods, they sound good although I can't 
say they sound a lot better than my 3.5mm set where the ear pieces have been in 
the water a few times since sometimes I have them hanging around my neck and 
they fall in the sink when I wash my hands.

Tests show iPhone 7 with adapter sounds worse than iPhone 6s with 3.5mm 
headphone jack

#iPhone7 #iPhone6s – Tests 
show iPhone 7 with adapter sounds worse than iPhone 6s with 3.5mm headphone 
jack : With all of the media coverage leading up to and following Apple’s big 
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus unveiling, just about everyone on the planet knows 
at this point that Apple ditched the standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead, 
its latest iPhones include only a Lightning port on the bottom.

Apple suggests that iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus owners use either wireless 
headphones or wired headphones with a Lightning connector, like the EarPods 
Apple included in the box.

Of course, there’s also a 3.5mm-to-Lightning adapter included with the iPhone 7 
series that lets you connect your old 3.5mm headphones with no problem.



Despite all the steps Apple has taken and despite the popularity of wireless 
headphones, people still have a number of complaints about Apple’s decision to 
do away with the 3.5mm audio port on its latest iPhones.

Some complaints are valid while others are a stretch, but now it looks like a 
new issue may have been uncovered that no one even realized until now.

A German 
magazine
 has run extensive tests on the audio adapter included in the box with Apple’s 
new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The magazine’s goal was to determine whether or 
not there is any sound degradation when using the adapter as compared to the 
standard 3.5mm audio port on last year’s iPhone 6s.

While the article is in German and translations have varied a bit on 
Reddit
 and on the gadget 
forum where we the 
article was first linked, it looks like the tests did in fact find that sound 
quality is degraded when the adapter is being used.

A translated quote from the article:

The results are clear: with an iPhone 6S, the dynamic range worsens by 4.5 
dB(A) for 24-bit music files. For the iPad Air, it worsens by 3.8 dB(A).

The signal also gets worse for 16-bit music files, even if they aren’t that 
drastic: the dynamic range worsens by 1.8 dB(A) and 3.1 dB(A) for the iPhone 
and iPad, respectively.



And here’s a chart that shows the full results from the tests:

[https://i.imgur.com/7zGQ3HT.png]

Now, before rage overcomes you and you smash your new iPhone 7 against a wall, 
you should know that these results aren’t terribly troubling.

Without diving into a technical explanation, the bottom line is that the 
difference is going to be completely imperceptible to most people. Even 
audiophiles with an incredible ear for sound won’t notice the difference unless 
they’re listening to high-quality 24-bit audio files.

While streaming music through services like Spotify, or while listening to 
compressed sound files in popular formats like MP3, not even the snobbiest 
sound snobs out there will be able to tell the difference. Source:

Following my signature is the text from a page which discusses the Google 
Important folder and how to re-train its intelligence or how to unsubscribe 
from it. Be aware that this information is from a sighted perspective so I have 
no clue whether the settings referenced are accessible. The information pasted 
comes from this website:

 

http://support.postbox-inc.com/hc/en-us/articles/204362930-Gmail-Important-Folder

 

I'm pretty sure that like all things Gmail, no actual folders are involved. 
Gmail groups everything based on labels and I suspect if you're seeing the same 
message in multiple "folders", it's because it has more than one Gmail label 
assigned to it. You would normally be the one charged with assigning these 
labels but it sounds as if Google takes it upon itself to try and tag important 
messages based on some algorithm.

 

Good luck and I hope this is helpful.

Gmail Important Folder

Having lots of unimportant e-mails labeled “Important” can be annoying. The 
“Important” label is assigned to a message by Google, based on Google’s 
adaptive understanding of your interests and priorities. There are a couple of 
things you can do about this. You can do either, or both.

The Slow Fix: Re-Training Google

You can re-train Google about what’s important to you by removing the label 
from each message you don’t consider important. If there’s message that you 
think is important that Google’s has not labeled properly, you can assign the 
Important label to it. Eventually, Google’s behavior will more accurately 
reflect your wishes.

Here’s how to remove a message’s label in Postbox:

1.  Select an e-mail in Postbox’s message list.
2.  Hover your cursor over the Important label in the upper-right corner of 
the message and click x when it appears to let Google know the message is not 
important.

Here's how to add a message's label in Postbox:

1.  Select an e-mail in Postbox’s message list.
2.  In the upper-right corner of the message, you’ll see a popup menu.

3.  In this popup menu, select the Assign Label submenu.
4.  Assign the Important label to the message to let Google know the 
message is important.

The Quick Fix: Hiding the Important Folder in Postbox

You can unsubscribe from Google’s Important folder, so you don’t have to see or 
deal with it. (It remains on Google’s servers. It’s just hidden in Postbox.)

Here are instructions 
  
for unsubscribing from the Important folder.

After unsubscribing from the Important folder:

1.  Go to Postbox (OS X)/Tools (Windows) > Preferences/Options > Accounts > 
[your account] > Advanced…
2.  Check the Show only subscribed folders option.
3.  Restart Postbox.

I'm not exactly sure when this folder turned up. It could be, that it has been 
there for a long time. But I see that it has a lot of messages in it. Some of 
them seem to be duplicates that her and other folders, but I'm not sure about 
all. And if they are duplicates, I don't need them twice. Anyway, if somebody 
knows how to get rid of it or how to keep it from filling up, that would be 
great.

Maybe this feature has been around for a while, but in case you don't know 
about it, I discovered recently that if you're in an app and ask Siri to open

in Music and say, "Open Settings," Siri opens the settings for Music. This is 
not an iOS 10 feature; it also works on my 4s running iOS 9.3. Pretty cool.

I cannot reproduce your findings.  

On four various iPhones, not including iPhone 7, Siri functions normally in iOS

I tested all 4 phones using the exact same phrase as described in your original

 Hi,
 
 The 7 has much better sound quality than the 6s Plus over the speakers. 
 It's clearer, fuller, and louder.

Re: Buttons on the Woopower Speaker

[Dave]

not quite sure, which speech you are refering to.
if you are refering to the speech of the person doing the podcast, well! if it 
was any slower, i would have gone into a hypnotic state!

If you slow your speech Down a little and, get a little closer you'll have it

I sure hope that they fix how elements are red in Safari and messages, that you 
would be able to turn off all the verbiage; it is really annoying to me. I'm 
surprised no one has said anything about this here.

Re: Bug with pronunciation dictionary

[Gordan Radić]

  
  
Hi!
I can't confirm on this one but I'm going to try it out.
One thing I know for sure is if I enter a word, let's say
  "iphone" and enter "the best phone in the world" as replacement,
  it will be correctly spoken out.

  Hi all,
  
  
  I'm wondering if you folks
can confirm the following bug.
  
  
  It seems that the
pronunciation dictionary will only honour single-word
entries. So, if you enter a phrase which includes multiple
words, your replacement text is never spoken.
  
  
  Let me know your thoughts.

Re: best practices for managing contacts across iphone and laptops

[Joe Orozco]

If you're tied to Outlook, I don't have any suggestions. If you can
switch to Gmail, I use a program called GSyncit to mirror contacts
between my PC and my iPhone. The program also syncs calendar entries
and notes.

Best Practice to not Hijack Threads was Re: best practices for managing contacts across iphone and laptops

[Alan Lemly]

Robin,

I can't answer your question but I'd kindly ask you to please not reply to an 
existing message and then delete the subject and message body as if you were 
starting a new thread. This is called thread hijacking and though it might 
appear to you as if you've started a new post, there are hidden links to the 
previous thread that ties your new subject post to it. However, those of us who 
read this list by thread will see your subject but the other five messages in 
the thread will be about the subject you hijacked. 

I noticed that you hijacked two different threads and wanted to explain this so 
you could avoid it in the future. 

To start a new thread, you need to create a brand new message as opposed to 
replying to an existing one and deleting its content. 

Thanks.

RE: Best Practice to not Hijack Threads was Re: best practices for managing contacts across iphone and laptops

[Tony]

Thanks for this.  I’ve seen messages about hijacking threads but didn’t know 
this was what was meant.

 

I always thought it was about messages that kept the same subject line but were 
about something else.

 

I’m sure I have done it in the past.

Hi all, to add to the discription, if the power button is pressed twice,
it will redial the last number called or recieved.  The mode button, when

a couple of questions

[rubyalphonse]

Hi list members, this is Ruby from Bangalore India. I have a couple of
questions, one is, I recently reset my iPhone 6 before that, I gave a back
up to the iClouds, I lost some of the contacts which are very important to
me, when I restored my iPhone, I really got upset when I lost the very
contacts I want. Now, how do I get them back? Another question is, when I
book Uber for some one, I need to give the driver's contact number of that
person to the driver! And how do I give the person's number? Then, how do I
save my location and the destination once for all, since I go to my office
every day? Please helpme, any thought and idea or help would be appreciated.
Thanks again, Ruby

 Difficult is relative. You need to find the correct download file for iOS 
 9 and your particular device. An iPhone will have a different download 
 file than an iPad and there are even different files for different phone 
 versions. One website where these are usually available is 
 http://ipswdownloader.com/
 Once you have downloaded the file you may have to change the extension 
 from .zip to .ipsw
 Once that is done you have to connect your device to iTunes, go to your 
 device area and after tabbing to the "Update" button activate it with 
 Shift+Enter.
 A standard Windows open file dialogue will appear, browse to the folder 
 where your IPSW file is saved, select it and press "Open".
 Your phone will then "upgrade" or in this case "downgrade".
 Keep in mind that Apple only signs previous iOS versions for a fairly 
 short time so you probably have to do this in the next few days, it may 
 still work middle or late next week, but nobody knows.
 Besides all that I recommend against downgrading since you only postpone 
 the inevitable. It is better to learn the new OS and deal with the few 
 challenges which may exist than to go back and then in a year or two when 
 you may need a new device you get kicked from iOS 9 to iOS 11 or iOS 12 
 where things maybe even more different.

I'm not exactly sure when this folder turned up. It could be, that it has been

them seem to be duplicates that her and other folders, but I'm not sure about

Hi all,

I have noticed that I have a box in my Gmail account called "important". I 
never set this up, nor did I specifically flag messages or senders whose posts 
should be put there. Yet I have something like 200 messages in this box.. How

  The new phones can play lower frequencies through the speakers as well. I

Hi Mary, this folder, for me, was there even before I got an IOS device. Not 
too sure whether you can get rid of it, and if so, how, or what's it's purpose.

Re: What is the "important" box in Gmail?

[Mary Otten]

I'm not exactly sure when this folder turned up. It could be, that it has been 
there for a long time. But I see that it has a lot of messages in it. Some of 
them seem to be duplicates that her and other folders, but I'm not sure about 
all. And if they are duplicates, I don't need them twice. Anyway, if somebody 
knows how to get rid of it or how to keep it from filling up, that would be 
great.

using siri to locate and call places

[Jim Ruby]

I am having a problem with siri under ios 10

Here is what I am doing and the result

Say Siri find office max
Siri responds with I found office max on county road 1 and asked do you want 
that one?
At the beep to talk I says yes
Siri responds I  can get directions or call
At the beep to talk I say "call"

Then siri comes back with who do you want to call.

This happens with anything I try using the scenario above.

This used to work great under ios 9.
Any one have a solution or experiencing the same problem?

Thanks

Hi Jim,
I do not have a solution, but for me the behavior you are reporting has been 
the same for a long time. In other words, it did not start with iOS 10. And 
yes, it is very frustrating. Google works wonderfully in this situation.

I think that the Important Inbox is not an extra lot of emails unavailable

Re: Speaker sound quality comparison between the 6+ and the 7

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

The new phones can play lower frequencies through the speakers as well. I have 
an app that plays some melodies that sound more or less like music boxes. On 
the iPhone 7, I played one of these, and it has a bass line that was completely 
inaudible on previous phones.

Best,
Anna

Re: Voiceover Broken on IOS 10 for iPad 4 Retina Display

[Russ Kiehne]

I had an interesting experience with my new ipad mini 4 that arrived yesterday. 
 Many of the voices that come with ios 10 didn’t show up.  I called Apple 
accessibility support and they had me shut it off and turn it back on.  Now all 
of the voices were present.

What is the "important" box in Gmail?

[Mary Otten]

Hi all,
I have noticed that I have a box in my Gmail account called "important". I 
never set this up, nor did I specifically flag messages or senders whose posts 
should be put there. Yet I have something like 200 messages in this box. How 
did that happen? How can I stop that? Or how can I just get rid of this folder, 
which I did not create?

iPhone 7 Audio with Headphone Jack Earpods and Adapter?

[Alan Lemly]

I've read a lot about the removed headphone jack in the iPhone 7 and Apple's
wired adapter for use with headphone jack earphones and its push to the $160
wireless airpods coming out in late October. I haven't seen much about the
sound quality using the lightning adapter wired earpods provided with the
iPhone 7. I know I saw posts from audiophiles when the headphone jack
removal was rumored at how much higher quality audio could be provided via
the lightning connector.

 

Can anyone who has an iPhone 7 comment on how they perceive the audio
quality with the lightning wired earpods versus how it was with wired
headphone jack earpods on an older iDevice? I know this is a bit of apples
to oranges but I'm just curious in general terms. I also would like to know
if the remote and volume buttons on the old headphone jack earpods still
work when connected to an iPhone 7 using the short adapter provided with the
phone. I'm a big user of my wired earpods and since I have a couple of
backups, I want to ensure that they work completely with an iPhone 7 using
the adapter.

 

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Re: Speaker sound quality comparison between the 6+ and the 7

[Dan]

hello,

Thank you very much. I sure appreciate that. Having not seen one, I guess I 
thought it would be on the end of the phone, for better stereo. Oh well. Thank 
you thanks to both of you for responding.

 Hi,
  
 The 7 has much better sound quality than the 6s Plus over the speakers. 
 It's clearer, fuller, and louder.
  
 Best,
 Anna

RE: Speaker sound quality comparison between the 6+ and the 7

[Wendy Alling]

Hi,

 

Coming from a 6 to a 7, I didn't have the benefits of having a better
speaker, but I can say that the speakers in the 7 sound great!  I played
music for the first time today and there is a definite difference in the
bass and sound as well.  I did hear the stereo separation when I had the
phone in landscape mode and held the phone up to my ear to listen.

Re: How do I go back to my previous version?

[Mary Otten]

Hi Kathy,
I certainly have said something about it, more than once, sigh. I have also 
reported it along with sending examples to Apple. Unfortunately, or 
fortunately, if you are one of the lucky people, this bug at least as it 
applies to mail, does not seem to be affecting everyone who uses voice over. I 
have no idea why. I did some chatting off list with another user including 
sending him examples, and going through settings and comparing. He doesn't have 
a problem. I do. I have it on more than one device. He does not have it on his 
devices. It is especially bad in mail, where I get plenty of emails which are 
laid out as though they were tables. Course they're not really tables, not in 
the sense that you need to know row and column for data presentation. It's all 
for show and lay out. And reading those emails is, frankly painful. I can only 
hope that Apple will eventually sooner rather than later, fix this. I hope it 
isn't like the thread send mail bug, where VoiceOver goes away and your remedy 
is to either wait it out, or turn it off and on when this happens. That was 
present through all of iOS 9 and still in iOS 10. Of course, not everybody has 
that one either. Some of us are just lucky.
Mary

Outlook app versus native mail app

[R Van Lant]

I am quite comfortable and happy with the native email app.  Does the 
Outlook mail app provide any advantages?  I was thinking of maybe trying 
it with this email address, which I currently don't have on my phone 
because of the traffic on this group.  On my home pc, I prefer to read 
this email group via conversation threads.

best practices for managing contacts across iphone and laptops

[R Van Lant]

Curious for best practices with managing and synching contacts across my iPhone 
and windows based computers where I use Outlook to read mail and manage email 
contacts. Until now, I would occasionally add phone numbers to my phone 
directly.  After I started including my work Outlook account on my phone, my 
work contact would be visible, so I found it easier to add and edit contacts on 
my work laptop in Outlook knowing they would show up in my phone.  This is 
great until the day that I no longer work at my company -- which I am not 
currently planning.  Before my home laptop died this summer, I had personal 
contacts in Outlook on my home computer, but only used that for capturing 
emails.  When my laptop died, I had to have my iPhone pull in my Hotmail 
contacts so that I could reach people.  Now I see that I have cases where I had 
entered a phone number in my phone, but there is a second entry in Contacts 
from where an email address pulls in from Hotmail.  If I combine those two in 
my phone, does that mean that I would no longer have access to the email 
address from Outlook on my personal computer? Or, is the best practiced to go 
back and move the phone number entry into the entry that comes over from 
Hotmail so that I maintain the entry in places via the Hotmail link to my 
iPhone?  If the recommendation is to always enter new contacts on the laptop, 
what do you do when you are on the go and have a new phone number to add?
