Re: Is the I phone 4s worth it?

2012-03-07 Thread Shawn Krasniuk
Hey guys. I just had to jump into this topic because I have an iPhone 4 and I 
found an app that almost does what Siri on the iPhone 4S does. The only thing 
it doesn't do yet, which will be addressed in future updates according to the 
developer, is write text messages as you dictate them to it and reminders. It's 
called Voice Ask and it's $2.99 in the app store. The girl who you talk to is 
named Eve and she has quite the personality. There are a few unlabelled buttons 
but it's useable.

I would be shocked if Apple allows the developer to add the feature to use this 
with the iPhones native messaging app.

Hi shawn. 
I must say, though, that Siri is a great help with that dictation in Safari 
and—fortunately or unfortunately, for spending money—a wonderful help in 
iTunes. It makes using iTunes on the iPhone so easy, ha ha ha! It's a good 
thing I'm not a spendthrift.

Hi,

In a word, yes.

And not just because of Siri. You'll notice a definite improvement in 
responsiveness over the 3GS. That on its own is worth the cost to upgrade.

 Hi guys
 I just had an experience which I would like to bring up. I am having a lot 
 of trouble with pressing the home key to get Siri, and basically crashing

 does work better without voiceover in memory. The only problem might be if 
 Siri brings up a screen that you have to use an voiceover is off. What

Hi, I think you would have a very good machine if you get a 4S; if you
switch from 3gs to 4s, as I did, you'll notice how fast the 4s is!
Personally, I gave up using some apps with my 3gs, as updating from
4.x firmware to 5.0.x, they became very very slow and slowed the whole
iPhone down.
Now I am again happily using all its functionalities and all the
applications I bought!
Except for siri, but just because it is not in my mother language yet

Jenny, I completely agree with Buddy here. I actually test side-by-side every 
day with an iPhone 4 and 4S and even there, the speed difference is pretty 
obvious. So yes, you'll notice a marked improvement to say the very least, if 
you choose to upgrade from your 3GS to a 4S.

Have a terrific day!…

 Siri. I started turning voiceover off to see if that would help and Siri 
 does work better without voiceover in memory. The only problem might be if 
 Siri brings up a screen that you have to use an voiceover is off. What 
 solutions have any of you guys down for this?

Re: Is the I phone 4s worth it?

2012-03-06 Thread Elena Brescacin
Hello,
and consider the upgrade operation is painless.
I mean: you can transfer your life from the 3gs to the 4S in a
completely painless way, the only condition is you constantly back
your iPhone up, both via iTunes, on the computer, and via iCloud.
If last backup was yesterday, and today you just got your 4s, just
restore yesterday's iCloud backup and that's all!
The only attention to take, is about connection: better if wi-fi,
during restore, as iPhone must download all apps from the app store;
what you do not get, until you sync it with your physical iTunes
library, are possible apps which have been removed from the app store
for some reason.
For the rest, no pain, no fear

 Jenny, I completely agree with Buddy here. I actually test side-by-side every 
 day with an iPhone 4 and 4S and even there, the speed difference is pretty 
 obvious. So yes, you'll notice a marked improvement to say the very least, if 
 you choose to upgrade from your 3GS to a 4S.
 
 Have a terrific day!…
 
 Smiles,
 
 Cara :)

 Hi,
 
 In a word, yes.
 
 And not just because of Siri. You'll notice a definite improvement in 
 responsiveness over the 3GS. That on its own is worth the cost to upgrade.

 My 3GS is starting to act a little weird and I have the option to upgrade 
 phones. Is the 4s really worth the money. If f you have one and you have an 
 opinion please feel free to share it privately so we don'tcclog up the list. 
 I will say that I use it for everything Sao it'll need to handle a lot of 
 use with most of it's functions.
 
 Thanks for your help in advance.

 Yes, I did a reminder; when I get time I need to delete all the extra ones 
 I have right now. When I did this reminder with Siri without VoiceOver in 
 memory, I was a little skeptical that I could get it done. However, luckily 
 she said if I wanted it and responded to Yes. I have had the screen come 
 up and have ahd to split tap on Confirm. If she would respond to Yes, that 
 would solve that.

 I actually noticed that as well, but didn't disable voiceover, because I 
 didn't think that was causing it.  I always wondered what was causing it 
 to get so hung up though; appreciate the tidbit.

 Subject: Siri and voice over coexisting not peacefully all the time
 
 
 Hi guys
 I just had an experience which I would like to bring up. I am having a lot 
 of trouble with pressing the home key to get Siri, and basically crashing 
 Siri. I started turning voiceover off to see if that would help and Siri 
 does work better without voiceover in memory. The only problem might be if 
 Siri brings up a screen that you have to use an voiceover is off. What 
 solutions have any of you guys down for this?

Re: Is the I phone 4s worth it?

2012-03-06 Thread Jenny Keller
I was wondering about hat. I still have to do all that but as I am in the midst 
of a move I'll have to wait till my Mac comes out of storage to back everything 
up. No big deal. I can wait a little llonger to upgrade.
