Re: Making iPhone remember Bluetooth pairing
You want the keyboard to remember the pairing so that it will pair automatically when you turn your keyboard on. I had this issue last week. Just remember to pair when changing devices.

Of course, it could be the keyboard, but I doubt that as it is designed for the iPhone, and the keyboard model should not be able to affect vo's ability to announce the pairing code.

Re: Making iPhone remember Bluetooth pairing
Alex and others, I solved the problem in a more or less indirect way. It turns out that the Bluetooth keyboard apparently doesn't forget the pairing code. If I hit the reset button on the keyboard after turning it on, it works fine. I don't understand why, but I can live with this. Thank you very much, and we'll consider the problem satisfactorily resolved.

Re: Making iPhone remember Bluetooth pairing
There is no setting for that, alerts are always read when they appear. By alert, I mean a popup window, not something that appears in the status bar. If you can, try another (different brand) keyboard and see if the same thing happens.

Re: Making iPhone remember Bluetooth pairing
Hi Alex, This happens every time I power off the iPhone and then switch it back on and thus far, VO has never read the numbers required for pairing. I will, however, go back into the iPhone VO settings and make sure that alerts are automatically read. Thanks for your input anyway.

Re: Making iPhone remember Bluetooth pairing
This is not too helpful, but I find your problem very odd. From my experience, vo will read the numbers you have to enter because they appear in an alert, and pairing is never lost unless you remove it manually. I saw a keyboard un-pair itself from my sister's iPad once, but I think that was because she changed the keyboar's batteries. Does this problem happen all the time, or do you maybe put the phone in airplane mode a lot? That shouldn't matter, but it is all I can think of.
