Re: Alerts during a call?
ok, you would like voiceover to drop its volume while you're in a call but you don't want it off in case you need to look up something during the call.

HiChuck, Of course I want Voiceover to announce who is calling, but as soon as I answer the call I'd like it to shut up. Turning off speech is a work-around and it's OK as far as it goes, but as I said, if I am out and about I either have my Bluetooth earpieceor the Apple Earpods hanging around my neck and I answer calls that way without ever touching the phone and if it's tucked away then having to turn off speech is not convenient.

Re: Alerts during a call?
If they silence VoiceOver during a call, I hope they leave the keyboard VoiceOver readable. Otherwise, one would not be able to enter numbers into an automated system. Perhaps, have it be an option in VoiceOver settings either to be silent during a call, or not, depending o user preference, except for leaving the keyboard readable.

Re: Alerts during a call?
Hello Sieghard, Well, I must very strongly and completely disagree with you here. If Apple automatically disables VoiceOver during a call, I will complain quite loudly and vociferously. I turn VO volume up when I need to interact with automated phone systems, and turn VO down when otherwise on the phone. This way, I am able to here text messages when they come in, even when I am on a phone call. Given the nature of my business, this feature is extremely important. And yes, my mobile phone is my only line. I can agree that Apple implement a setting to disable automatic reading of prompts whilst on a call, but to fully disable this feature would be major frustration for me, and for others who I know. The fact is, if people do not like a feature or factor, they complain about it. If people like a feature or factor, they do not say anything. Even more, people who like a feature often do not read the messages from the people who are complaining about it. I have heard this referred to as the echo chamber effect, since all you hear are the voices that agree with you.

RE: Alerts during a call?
Hi Sieghard. I could see a problem with VoiceOver automaticly being deactivated during a call. What do you do if you need to enter options on your touch tone pad, such as a bank account number? I want this information to be available to me. Maybe there could be an option to deactivate all other VO functions while on the phone, but then you lose the ability to do other things such as refer to an email a caller wants to get information from. Oh well, nothing's perfect. GO REDS and GO BENGALS! Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY kmi...@windstream.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: External Battery choice
Steve, you stated that there is enough charge from this device to charge the iPhone three times? What does that mean? Does it mean you get three times the normal talk time? I saw something in the description that referred to 27 hours of talk time and wonder if that is what you referred to? I've ordered this device today from Amazon. I believe I ordered the one with the talking feature, as on Amazon's site, it was stated that this device has been available since August of 2012. Thanks.

Re: Alerts during a call?
Well, I've turned VO down using the rotor myself and it does work. Personally, though, the easiest, , most reliable thing for me to do is to just use the triple click home method to disable Vo and then re-enable it with the same triple click home. I've tried the three finger double-tap and It's hit or miss, especially depending on what I'm doing when the call comes in. If I make the call myself and I'm not doing other things, I can just use the three finger double tap, but if a call comes in, the triple click home is faster and doesn't require me to retry the gesture if I inadvertently turn on the screen curtain. And yes, you're correct, the mute switch doesn't mute VO, it only mutes the noises the phone makes when you double tap, enter/exit an app or use the volume buttons. Basically, it disables all of the audio feedback people would find annoying if they were in a quiet setting. VO is fully active, though.

HiChuck, Of course I want Voiceover to announce who is calling, but as soon as I answer the call I'd like it to shut up. Turning off speech is a work-around and it's OK as far as it goes, but as I said, if I am out and about I either have my Bluetooth earpieceor the Apple Earpods hanging around my neck and I answer calls that way without ever touching the phone and if it's tucked away then having to turn off speech is not convenient. There are of course also those cases where I need speech to be on because maybe I need to look up a phone number while I am on a call or check something else. As I said, I am fully aware of the work-arounds, but just because I found an often inconvenient fix for a problem doesn't mean it's a solution and that the problem should not be addressed. I also can say for sure that from the responses I read in previous discussions there are way more people who like Tess, Donna, myself and others feel this is an annoying issue as opposed to the few who said they like it the way it is. I think it's OK to hear whatever sound an incoming email, text or push notification makes and if I am really so desperate to know while I am still talking on the phone who emailed or texted me, then I can open mail, messages or the notification centre and check.

Re: Solara Arena
It's not true multiplayer in that there's no player interaction. Think of it more as a competitive leader board. You don't risk anything by participating except some food that might otherwise have gone into quests or training, just using character stats from the main game in a sort of friendly contest to see who's done a better job at building adventuring parties. You win or lose ranking points based on your success and these points determine your place in the league with prizes for the top spots. Combat in the Storm8 games used to drive me nuts with how expensive it used to get building/maintaining all those defensive units and structures, and you could definitely lose your shirt if attacked at the wrong time there, but sometimes I wish there were more player agency in how these things came out. It's a funny sentiment coming from someone who's wanting to get more into tabletop RPGs, but there it is... lol I'm also itching to see what this team would do with a sci-fi setting.

RE: Alerts during a call?
It does seem that a triple press of the home key would be the simplest and easiest solution. You could turn VO on to enter numbers and off when you are just talking. Probably get texts and some other things but as some have pointed out these annoyances are necessities to some. The good thing about triple tapping home is that it requires no changes to the IOS.

If they silence VoiceOver during a call, I hope they leave the keyboard VoiceOver readable. Otherwise, one would not be able to enter numbers into an automated system. Perhaps, have it be an option in VoiceOver settings either to be silent during a call, or not, depending o user preference, except for leaving the keyboard readable.

Hello Tessa, Donna, Jodie, Andy and others, This is one of the most annoying characteristics of Voiceover and I hope that all of you who dislike this as much as me write to accessibil...@apple.com to request that in some future update Voiceover is just silenced when a call is active. Andy's suggestion to turn off push notifications to me is something I should not have to do, I have an iPhone and use apps which have push notifications because that is what I want and having to turn off all push notifications just so my phone calls aren't interrupted is equivalent to saying you have to turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, Push email and location services just so I can get better battery life. I don't need a fancy smartphone if I have to disable half its features to stop it from doing one annoying thing. This discussion has come up before and I know some people have argued in favour of all of this chatter happening although I really don't know why somebody would want their phone to start reading a text message, an email or a news headline while one is on a phone call. When this happens to me I sometimes have to ask the other party to hold on for a moment until Voiceover shuts up or I can shut it up because I can't hear them any more. The iPhone is after all also a cell phone and while some people may use it more for other stuff than actual calling, for me it is my only personal line and I also use it for my business so I do receive and make a lot of calls and I really hope that maybe in iOS 7 Apple has done something about this. In my opinion Voiceover should just be quiet during a call, but I guess it would be OK if at least there was a setting where one could enable this and that way those who like to hear all of this stuff while they are on the phone can continue to do so. The same goes for Voiceover constantly announcing the call duration, also annoying and completely unnecessary, if I want to check how long I have been on the phone I can easily touch the screen and check and I don't have to hear it every 20 or 30 seconds. I understand that I can turn speech off with a 3-finger double tap and I sometimes do that, but it's a major pain in the winter when my iPhone is in my pocket or belt clip under a heavy coat and I am wearing gloves.

For example when one of my facebook friends posts something the phone lets me know but it often happens when I'm in a call and I can't seem to turn it off without turning off the alert feature, unless I'm missing something which is entirely possible. I know when my clock chimes hitting the volume button stops the sound, but it doesn't do much for facebook and alerts like that. Any suggestions.

Re: Solara Arena
I'm fairly new to this game, am now on level 7. Wondering when the arena will be unlocked or if i have to do something to unlock it? /Krister 12 aug 2013 kl. 15:14 skrev Aser Tolentino agtolent...@gmail.com: It's not true multiplayer in that there's no player interaction. Think of it more as a competitive leader board. You don't risk anything by participating except some food that might otherwise have gone into quests or training, just using character stats from the main game in a sort of friendly contest to see who's done a better job at building adventuring parties. You win or lose ranking points based on your success and these points determine your place in the league with prizes for the top spots. Combat in the Storm8 games used to drive me nuts with how expensive it used to get building/maintaining all those defensive units and structures, and you could definitely lose your shirt if attacked at the wrong time there, but sometimes I wish there were more player agency in how these things came out. It's a funny sentiment coming from someone who's wanting to get more into tabletop RPGs, but there it is... lol I'm also itching to see what this team would do with a sci-fi setting.

Re: External Battery choice
Alan, if you don't necessarily want a case with an on board charger, you might want to consider an external charger like the Incredicharge. I can charge my phone for several times on a single charge. I can also use my phone while it's charging on the Incredicharge. It has two USB connections as well as a built-in micro USB cable so I can also charge my Booksense Standard, my Aftershokz headphones or my Sansa Clip zip and still be using the phone while all three are charging on the same charger. I got it at Amazon for about $27 and free shipping. It's not the most accessible, at least not for me because the LEDs used to indicate charging status are very small. Still, I liked the idea of having something that would charge multiple devices at once or my phone for more than one time.

There is a recessed charge button that when pressed starts the recharge cycle.

RE: Alerts during a call?
If a three-finger double tap would do the trick, I think that is sufficient. For those who want to hear voice-over, they should be able to do so. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2013 11:32 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Alerts during a call? Hello Tessa, Donna, Jodie, Andy and others, This is one of the most annoying characteristics of Voiceover and I hope that all of you who dislike this as much as me write to accessibil...@apple.com to request that in some future update Voiceover is just silenced when a call is active. Andy's suggestion to turn off push notifications to me is something I should not have to do, I have an iPhone and use apps which have push notifications because that is what I want and having to turn off all push notifications just so my phone calls aren't interrupted is equivalent to saying you have to turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, Push email and location services just so I can get better battery life. I don't need a fancy smartphone if I have to disable half its features to stop it from doing one annoying thing. This discussion has come up before and I know some people have argued in favour of all of this chatter happening although I really don't know why somebody would want their phone to start reading a text message, an email or a news headline while one is on a phone call. When this happens to me I sometimes have to ask the other party to hold on for a moment until Voiceover shuts up or I can shut it up because I can't hear them any more. The iPhone is after all also a cell phone and while some people may use it more for other stuff than actual calling, for me it is my only personal line and I also use it for my business so I do receive and make a lot of calls and I really hope that maybe in iOS 7 Apple has done something about this. In my opinion Voiceover should just be quiet during a call, but I guess it would be OK if at least there was a setting where one could enable this and that way those who like to hear all of this stuff while they are on the phone can continue to do so. The same goes for Voiceover constantly announcing the call duration, also annoying and completely unnecessary, if I want to check how long I have been on the phone I can easily touch the screen and check and I don't have to hear it every 20 or 30 seconds. I understand that I can turn speech off with a 3-finger double tap and I sometimes do that, but it's a major pain in the winter when my iPhone is in my pocket or belt clip under a heavy coat and I am wearing gloves.

really bummed, weather again
I know this has been discussed a lot, but for some reason Weather RADIO has decided to throw me back out of the app whenever I ask for the weather. Frustrated so deleted, but I need to know of a weather app that I can get that will allow me to get weather warnings in my notifications that is reliable.

Re: External Battery choice
The cable with a micro USB connector that can be tucked into the charger will not. But, there are the two USB ports on the front and these are what you use to insert the USB end of the charging cable. That's the negative thing, though the cable I got with my phone is so short I only use it for synching now and use a 10 foot long cable from Think Geek for regular charging. There are others on list who have this charger and so could probably give more specific info about what it works bets with. There's a small baggie of various sized connecters and plugs as well.

RE: Alerts during a call?
Hi David and others, I know that you disagreed before and that is of course perfectly OK. I also did not say I wanted Voiceover muted meaning I don't want iOS to do the equivalent of a 3-finger double tap when a call comes in. Everybody else who wrote had some suggestion which was another work-around like turning down Voiceover volume with the rotor to the point where it didn't bother me on the call, flick the mute switch etc. All I am saying is that I don't like Voiceover to automatically start reading incoming text messages, emails and push notifications or to have an on/off switch somewhere in the Voiceover settings area where a person could tell it not to do so which would allow people like you, David, to leave it off so that it will read whatever comes in. I am not saying I want Voiceover disabled completely or muted as in speech off. I was answering Tessa's question which was whether there was a way to stop Voiceover from automatically reading stuff while on a call by explaining that no, there was no way of doing so other than to do something like turn speech off which somebody had already suggested. All I did was elaborate on that hoping some more people would write to Apple about this which I have done at several occasions. If this is unchanged in iOS 7 I will do so again requesting that this will be added as a feature that is controllable by the user.

Hello Sieghard, Well, I must very strongly and completely disagree with you here. If Apple automatically disables VoiceOver during a call, I will complain quite loudly and vociferously. I turn VO volume up when I need to interact with automated phone systems, and turn VO down when otherwise on the phone. This way, I am able to here text messages when they come in, even when I am on a phone call. Given the nature of my business, this feature is extremely important. And yes, my mobile phone is my only line. I can agree that Apple implement a setting to disable automatic reading of prompts whilst on a call, but to fully disable this feature would be major frustration for me, and for others who I know. The fact is, if people do not like a feature or factor, they complain about it. If people like a feature or factor, they do not say anything. Even more, people who like a feature often do not read the messages from the people who are complaining about it. I have heard this referred to as the echo chamber effect, since all you hear are the voices that agree with you.

RE: Alerts during a call?
Hi Kevin, Once again, and I think I am replying for the last time to this thread, I don't want Voiceover deactivated or turned off, all I am asking is that Voiceover does not start to automatically read incoming text messages, emails or push notifications if there is an active phone call. This is no different from not wanting to have Voiceover automatically announce the time every 30 seconds or Voiceover speaking notifications and such if Do Not Disturb is on. I am not a programmer, but if Voiceover can be told not to speak when Do Not Disturb is on, then I think it is most likely possible that Voiceover can be told not to speak automatically when a call is active.

I really like the Klipsch IGroove. At least last year, they used to go on sale for around half off on Woot and various sites at times, so I picked one up on one of these deals. If it was something more portable you wanted, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if these are made any more with the switch to the lightning connector, but it also charges the phone and has an auxiliary input to plug in a laptop or anything else. - Original Message - From: Chris Judd chrischas0...@charter.net To: viphone list viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 10, 2013 10:05 PM Subject: looking for thoughts on a good external speaker for my IPhone 4S.

Deleting an item from the list of available options in shopshop
How do you delete an item from the list of available options in shopshop? For example if I never want to buy ham again I can’t figure how to delete from the list of options when adding item’s do a list.

Re: Unlocking a Sprint 4S
I think the GPP sims are the only way without jailbreaking. I've been looking into this because I want to test ATT by trying a month of Straight Talk. With Sprint, I get a lot of broken up calls right now, yet 3G sails through without a hitch. Is the setup process for these sim adapter things accessible? They mention that when you pop it in, the phone comes up with some screen where you choose the carrier of the sim you put into the adapter, but is that something that comes up with VO running, or before IOS loads some how? If I used another reseller that is cheaper than Straightalk, but not unlimited, would my phone use Sprint when it can, and fall back to GSM if I couldn't get a call through? I live in an area that's kind of touchy, and hitting USCellular signal seems to be a problem at times. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2013 11:48 PM Subject: RE: Unlocking a Sprint 4S Just in case you don’t get any replies here you might want to contact Rob from the Today in iOS podcast.

I plan on upgrading to the new iPhone when it comes out, but will be keeping my 4S and will be giving it to my wife who doesn’t really care for her Android device and wants to switch platforms. She and I are on a larger family plan and though she was due for an upgrade a few months back, we figured this would be the better way to go since the 4S is still a pretty snazzy phone and she’s really not that much of a cell phone user. She’s interested in some of the new super basic plans that are coming out even though she can remain on the Sprint plan. Naturally Sprint is hemming and hawing about how unlocking isn’t possible and Apple has rules, blah, blah, but even if carrier unlocking isn’t possible (which I don’t believe) we should at least be able to sim unlock the phone. We both travel internationally for work and family and as the 4S is both a CDMA and GSm device, this is one of the reasons we want to hang on to it. I’ve read mixed information and experiences on forums and sites and such having to do with GPP unlocking packages or turbo sims, but really, she nor I am interested in jail breaking the phone for some of the offered solutions. My question is if others on here have indeed been able to unlock their 4S from Sprint to either use with another CDMA carrier or even with one of the GSM providers? If so, and again, not including a jailbreak method how did they do it? Is it really just a question of being persistent with Sprint? I’m not really pushing it now, but figured I’d get a better idea before I get my new device and have this 4S free. I actually took it in since one of the volume buttons jammed on me and I have insurance on the phone. The Sprint rep at first wanted to charge me the $200.00 deductible to replace it, but I said no way to that. A jammed volume button doesn’t need a full phone replacement especially when I’m going to get a brand new phone next month and since I’ve got insurance on it anyway. He supposedly went in the back to talk to his supervisor (whatever…) and said that they’d this one time swap out the phone for free. So I guess if anything, I’ll have a practically new or at least refurbished new phone for a few weeks that we can sell if unlocking is too much of a hassle and turn around and buy a 16gb iPhone 5 or something with the same money and go with any carrier at that point. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: how do I play solara the game.
Hi All, Thanks so much for this. I installed this game because I guess I'm a wanna-be too. grin I have never been much on playing games and I liked the music when this game first opened along with the sound effects but quickly found out that I couldn't hear what voice over was telling me. I found the buttons for music and sounds and turned them off. I was bamboozled by what I heard. I've never played a city building game in my life and have only played one or two other games from my friend Jim Kitchen. I did write one of the Harry Potter games for him but that was the extent of my game playing. This does sound like a much more advanced kind of game so I look forward to it so I suppose I'll be back with other questions. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

Rather it be quest, or arena to fight other real life players if your own level is level 11 or higher, or building or extending your castle and it's shops. This also depends on if you have enough cash and or esper points. If you have ever played a RPG game, this can be somewhat like that. You have characters that you will advance in levels by quests, you will train your characters with food and gold every other level food and gold change off. The amount of food and or gold raises each level as you go along. Only way you can really learn about the game is just jump in and start playing. Now for the link that was submitted to the list.

Re: Solara Arena
I can't get into the arena right now to check, I'm waiting for the next tournament to start later today, but I think there are leagues and levels within leagues. For example, I think I'm in the gold level of the Mithrel league. I assume these are organized so that we can compete against other castles at the same level to make it more fair.

Re: External Battery choice
Things would have been so much easier if Apple had just used micro USB on the device itself. Fortunately the juice pack cases get around that problem because they use micro USB.

I can charge my phone for several times on a single charge. I can also use my phone while it's charging on the Incredicharge. It has two USB connections as well as a built-in micro USB cable so I can also charge my Booksense Standard, my Aftershokz headphones or my Sansa Clip zip and still be using the phone while all three are charging on the same charger. I got it at Amazon for about $27 and free shipping. It's not the most accessible, at least not for me because the LEDs used to indicate charging status are very small. Still, I liked the idea of having something that would charge multiple devices at once or my phone for more than one time.

I have 1 such charger made by iGo. It's only a 1800 mAh battery with 2 USB ports. It's smaller then a deck of playing cards but can recharge a dead iPhone. There is a recessed charge button that when pressed starts the recharge cycle. You use your phone's sync/charge cable and when you view the battery status in the top right-hand corner it says the present status and charging. When charging is complete, the battery disconnects. You can actually be walking down the street talking on your phone wile it's recharging. I have used the charger to recharge both my wife's and my iPhones. Granted, it charges slower that way but left charging over night it will get the job done. It also has the flip out AC wall plug so you can use it as an AC source for 2 devices. I'm told but have not seen it that iGo also has the same thing but that they add the ability to charge the 1800 mAh battery via solar giving you a wide range of choices. So I'm thinking that with a 1800 mAh rechargeable battery solar charger and an AC plug, that should pretty much cover anybody's recharging needs. Even with out the solar part, the battery is small enough to Cary in a pocket or purse and still pull you out of a tight spot when you find your iPhone a wee bit short. This small of a battery is great for the iPhone. I doubt though it would be of any use with an iPad but sense I don't own one I can't speak to that. Radio Shack, big box stores and only God knows who else offers recharge solutions. You can also read about new gadgets in iPhone Life magazine. They also have a free app that is accessible.

Hi Kwasi, The built-in Voice Memos app does a reasonably good job of recording VoiceOver.

Re: Alerts during a call?
When I get a phone call, before I do a 2 finger double tap to answer the call, I just do a 3 finger double tap to turn speech off so even if you do get an alert VO won't be on to read it to you. Just remember after the call is over to do the 3 finger double tap to turn speech back on. HTH --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents?

Skype 4.10.332 update
Hello List, A Skype update just appeared for me in the App Store. There are no major changes, the UI is pretty much unchanged. Here is the App Store link followed by the improvements and a few comments: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/skype-for-iphone/id304878510?mt=8 What's New in Version 4.10 Call quality improvements: . Make HD quality video calls from your iPhone 5. . General improvements to call quality and stability. General fixes and improvements: . A redesigned country code picker on the dial pad. I haven't made any calls yet so I can't speak to the quality improvements they mention and I don't have an iPhone 5 so I can't comment on the new HD Video calls, either. I am surprised that this feature doesn't exist for the 4S which has basically the exact same camera, I guess the A5 processor doesn't have the power to handle them. The new country code picker is nice. When you double tap on the Call Phones tab, you have a very clean screen with the DialPad. Underneath the *, the 0 and the Hash (pound symbol) are 3 buttons: SMS button (on the left under the Star) Call button (in the middle above he home key and under the 0) Delete button (on the right and under the hash). At the very top right under the battery status is an Addressbook button which gives you access to your Contacts on the phone, it is also right above the 3 on the DialPad. To the left of that is the edit field where the phone number you type shows up. It starts by default with a +1 on my phone since I am in Canada and the country code is 1 just like the States. Underneath the phone number field and on the left (just above the 1 on the DialPad) is the Country Code button. you can also find it by touching Addressbook at the top right and swipe right once) or from the 1 on the DialPad swipe left once. If you double tap it a list of countries in alphabetical order shows up and you can navigate this very quickly since it has a Table Index on the right edge, so if you, for example, want to insert +63 for the Philippines, you can just flick down in the Table Index until you get to P and then quickly find the Philippines. Double tap on the country you want and you will be returned to the DialPad, now +63 or whatever other country you picked will be in the edit field and you just have to dial the rest of the number. One small oddity is if you touch the edit field where the number you dialed shows up. It seems that as soon as you touch it it puts the cursor onto the + at the very beginning of the field. You can then lift your finger and do a double tap to go to the end of the text field or double tap again to go back to the This seems slightly non-standard since most edit fields would say is editing and your cursor would be at the end. Of course you have to double or split tap numbers on the DialPad as is the case in all VoIP apps I have tried, touch typing does not work, but I suspect that that is an Apple limitation.

Re: Any Apps that Record VoiceOver?
Using list recorder, it appears that iOS automatically sets the master volume to 50% every time I start recording. I wonder if you can set a command to check volume level when record function is activated, pause until after recording commences, and then move volume back to the pre-recording level?

Maps question
Hi, I went to the maps app on my 4S and typed in a city. Somehow or other, the compass came up, and that had never happened before. I tapped on tracking, and heard tracking on, then I tapped again, and heard tracking on with headings. What does this mean, and why would the compass come up? Thanks.

Re: Alerts during a call?
There are two reasons why I prefer using a three finger double tap as opposed to the triple click of the home button to turn off speech. First, by turning voice over completely off, you are also changing the phone's gestures. I have a tendency to accidently hit buttons while in the normal mode, so I prefer the safety of the voice over gestures. And second, triple clicking the home button puts extra wear and tear on the iPhone's hardware. I have already spent seventy five dollars getting the sleep button repaired, so I rather use the touch screen when possible. Just my opinion.

Personally, though, the easiest, , most reliable thing for me to do is to just use the triple click home method to disable Vo and then re-enable it with the same triple click home. I've tried the three finger double-tap and It's hit or miss, especially depending on what I'm doing when the call comes in. If I make the call myself and I'm not doing other things, I can just use the three finger double tap, but if a call comes in, the triple click home is faster and doesn't require me to retry the gesture if I inadvertently turn on the screen curtain. And yes, you're correct, the mute switch doesn't mute VO, it only mutes the noises the phone makes when you double tap, enter/exit an app or use the volume buttons. Basically, it disables all of the audio feedback people would find annoying if they were in a quiet setting. VO is fully active, though.

HiChuck, Of course I want Voiceover to announce who is calling, but as soon as I answer the call I'd like it to shut up. Turning off speech is a work-around and it's OK as far as it goes, but as I said, if I am out and about I either have my Bluetooth earpieceor the Apple Earpods hanging around my neck and I answer calls that way without ever touching the phone and if it's tucked away then having to turn off speech is not convenient. There are of course also those cases where I need speech to be on because maybe I need to look up a phone number while I am on a call or check something else. As I said, I am fully aware of the work-arounds, but just because I found an often inconvenient fix for a problem doesn't mean it's a solution and that the problem should not be addressed. I also can say for sure that from the responses I read in previous discussions there are way more people who like Tess, Donna, myself and others feel this is an annoying issue as opposed to the few who said they like it the way it is. I think it's OK to hear whatever sound an incoming email, text or push notification makes and if I am really so desperate to know while I am still talking on the phone who emailed or texted me, then I can open mail, messages or the notification centre and check. Otherwise I can concentrate on who I am talking to and once I am done I can check what happened while I was on the phone.

Re: External Battery choice
Hi Sieghard, Perhaps I'm missing something here. If I plug in the cable that comes with my 4S into the Peek 6000, I can only charge the battery three times? I charge my battery every day, so within a week, I would not be able to use the Peek to charge the iPhone? I must be missing something, as I would think one could continue to charge the phone beyond three times.

I find in reality that 3 times is scraping the bottom of the barrel, maybe if you plug it in right when it’s at 20% and then don’t use yor phone while it is charging then you will get 3 times out of it.

I wonder if anyone out there has an opinion regarding the following. I am thinking of purchasing either a limeade 18000 or a peak 6000. the one advantage to the peak 6000 is that it has the ability to speak status. Does anyone on the list have a peak 6000? Also, come the end of the year I will be roling over my two year contract and will be getting a new iPhone which I assume will have the lightning connector so I don't want to be tied to a device which has only the 32 pin connectors. I assume both of these packs have the ability to use standard USB plugs with what ever connector at the other end.

I'm getting a T-Mobile 4G mobile hot spot. Anything I need to know?
Hi. Subject says it all, but I have some questions. For those of you who wonder what this thing does, it allows you to get on the 4G network using WI-FI, so you can connect a laptop to it, as well as other devices that use WI-FI. First, I don't plan on using this as my main internet access. I have the 4 GB plan that costs $30. I could go with the 12 GB plan for $70, but I didn't think that was necessary, at least for now. My main question is is there anything I need to be aware of to use this device? I plan on linking it to my laptop, as well as my iPhone. The reason I'm tempted to use it with my iPhone is I have an iPhone 4, which uses 3G as its speed, and I figured I'd get better results with 4G over WI-FI. Is it as simple as entering the WI-FI codes, or is there more than that to do? I'm looking forward to getting this gadget. I'll be able to sit outside of my apartment, and if the 4G is fast enough I'll be able to do my internet broadcast there. Sure, it will mean dragging stuff outside, but I think it will be fun to do. Thanks for any info, and if this is considered off topic I apologize. GO REDS and GO BENGALS!

Re: Alerts during a call?
Am I the only person who remembers a time when an alert sound would sound but voice-over did not read out the message while you were in a call? Perhaps there was some ability to do this which now does not exist, I think though that it was just the way things worked back then, whenever then is that I remember. Am I also the only person who, whilst in a call, does not seem to be able to get triple home to work to turn voice-over off, even though it will do it in every other time. Often, I cannot turn speech off with the finger gesture either. My phone when I take it away from my ear, does a funny click buzz clunk sound and therefore does not do the usual thing. I seem to remember that this was an issue with iOS six…? That people have complained on this list in the past that they cannot turn voice-over off while on a call. I am not talking about turning it off permanently, I am talking about stopping it Reading alerts. And I totally agree with the likes of Sieghard ETC, that there should be a setting in the settings which asks you whether you whether you would like it to read out an alert during a call. I don't have a problem with this at any other time, but I was leaving a voicemail for somebody last week and I could not stop it, even by tapping the screen as you would normally, from reading out the entire, very long, text message while I was trying to leave my voicemail. This meant the person on the other end, to whom I was leaving a message, also heard my text message which might be personal to me or even been about them! why is that fair? Why can there not be an option to turn off? No one else has that issue. I love voice over. But as I said, I'm pretty certain it didn't always do this. It is only recently this has started to annoy me so I find it very interesting that someone else has brought up on the list at the very time I am thinking about it and have been thinking about emailing Apple.

Hi Kirsten, If VoiceOver is reading out your messages without interaction on your part, you might want to turn off message preview in settings/notifications. Although you would have to go into the messages app when you receive a message to read it, at least your message will not be reading out when someone calls you only the person's name or number. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kirsten Edmondson Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 3:34 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Alerts during a call?

Re: Alerts during a call?
The major time VoiceOver talking when on a phone call is a problem is when one has answered that call with headphones, and they can't conveniently get to their phone to stop VoiceOver. Otherwise, one can just do the two-finger single tap, and the problem is solved, unless it starts talking again, when the two-finger single tap stops it, again.Maybe putting the option of shutting off Voiceover during a call into VoiceOver settings, should apply only when a call is answered when the screen is locked . Then, if you need VoiceOver for some reason, unlock the screen and go into the phone section, or into whatever section is needed, and VoiceOver would function as it now does.

Andy's suggestion to turn off push notifications to me is something I should not have to do, I have an iPhone and use apps which have push notifications because that is what I want and having to turn off all push notifications just so my phone calls aren't interrupted is equivalent to saying you have to turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, Push email and location services just so I can get better battery life. I don't need a fancy smartphone if I have to disable half its features to stop it from doing one annoying thing. This discussion has come up before and I know some people have argued in favour of all of this chatter happening although I really don't know why somebody would want their phone to start reading a text message, an email or a news headline while one is on a phone call. When this happens to me I sometimes have to ask the other party to hold on for a moment until Voiceover shuts up or I can shut it up because I can't hear them any more. The iPhone is after all also a cell phone and while some people may use it more for other stuff than actual calling, for me it is my only personal line and I also use it for my business so I do receive and make a lot of calls and I really hope that maybe in iOS 7 Apple has done something about this. In my opinion Voiceover should just be quiet during a call, but I guess it would be OK if at least there was a setting where one could enable this and that way those who like to hear all of this stuff while they are on the phone can continue to do so. The same goes for Voiceover constantly announcing the call duration, also annoying and completely unnecessary, if I want to check how long I have been on the phone I can easily touch the screen and check and I don't have to hear it every 20 or 30 seconds. I understand that I can turn speech off with a 3-finger double tap and I sometimes do that, but it's a major pain in the winter when my iPhone is in my pocket or belt clip under a heavy coat and I am wearing gloves.

Am I the only person who remembers a time when an alert sound would sound but voice-over did not read out the message while you were in a call? Perhaps there was some ability to do this which now does not exist, I think though that it was just the way things worked back then, whenever then is that I remember. Am I also the only person who, whilst in a call, does not seem to be able to get triple home to work to turn voice-over off, even though it will do it in every other time. Often, I cannot turn speech off with the finger gesture either. My phone when I take it away from my ear, does a funny click buzz clunk sound and therefore does not do the usual thing. I seem to remember that this was an issue with iOS six…? That people have complained on this list in the past that they cannot turn voice-over off while on a call. I am not talking about turning it off permanently, I am talking about stopping it Reading alerts. And I totally agree with the likes of Sieghard ETC, that there should be a setting in the settings which asks you whether you whether you would like it to read out an alert during a call. I don't have a problem with this at any other time, but I was leaving a voicemail for somebody last week and I could not stop it, even by tapping the screen as you would normally, from reading out the entire, very long, text message while I was trying to leave my voicemail. This meant the person on the other end, to whom I was leaving a message, also heard my text message which might be personal to me or even been about them! why is that fair? Why can there not be an option to turn off? No one else has that issue. I love voice over. But as I said, I'm pretty certain it didn't always do this. It is only recently this has started to annoy me so I find it very interesting that someone else has brought up on the list at the very time I am thinking about it and have been thinking about emailing Apple. I'm glad to know that others have done so before me. I am not so glad that like so many other things, Apple have not been able to fix it yet. I shall write imminently.

I thought you referred to the Microsoft Office Mobile for Office 365 app which was released a few weeks ago. This is a real Microsoft Office app with Word, Excel and Powerpoint, but you have to be an Office 365 subscriber to use it. I have been a subscriber for some years, but I am on one of the older subscriptions which don't allow me to subscribe for desktop apps of Office 2013 and the use of the app. You have to have one of the Office 365 Home Premium subscriptions which is $99 a year or an Office 365 Small Business Premium subscription. At some point between now and the end of the year all of the older accounts like mine will be upgraded to the Office 365 Small Business account, but until then I have to wait before I can try this app to see if there is any accessibility. I assume if somebody else had an Office 365 Home Premium subscription they would have reported back on this since the app itself is free. I am cautiously hopeful that maybe the app is accessible considering that some of the other Microsoft apps like Skype, Skydrive and OneNote are accessible, but of course I don't want to get anybody's hopes up, either and of course not everybody wants to shell out the $100 subscription even though I think this is a well thoughtout new model..

RE: bluetooth headset
Hello May, The HBS-700 LG Tone Is great, Amazon has them for around $50 most of the time, what I like is that's basically a set of very comfortable earbuds on a sort of neck strap. Basically you just put either or both buds on their magnetic holders on each end when not in use. The headset is so light that you almost forget you are wearing the thing. It has a bass boost and handles Siri, voiceover and other sounds and has 10 hours per charge.

Re: Unlocking a Sprint 4S
Once off contract, consider pushing hard on the Sprint folks again. I know someone who is with ATT and he needed to talk to someone at a higher corporate level to finally authorize the unlocking of the phone. If Sprint won't budge, then consider a jailbreak to accomplish what you want. I can't say more by e-mail because Congress has declared cell phone unlocking a crime punishable by imprisonment.

I plan on upgrading to the new iPhone when it comes out, but will be keeping my 4S and will be giving it to my wife who doesn’t really care for her Android device and wants to switch platforms. She and I are on a larger family plan and though she was due for an upgrade a few months back, we figured this would be the better way to go since the 4S is still a pretty snazzy phone and she’s really not that much of a cell phone user. She’s interested in some of the new super basic plans that are coming out even though she can remain on the Sprint plan. Naturally Sprint is hemming and hawing about how unlocking isn’t possible and Apple has rules, blah, blah, but even if carrier unlocking isn’t possible (which I don’t believe) we should at least be able to sim unlock the phone. We both travel internationally for work and family and as the 4S is both a CDMA and GSm device, this is one of the reasons we want to hang on to it. I’ve read mixed information and experiences on forums and sites and such having to do with GPP unlocking packages or turbo sims, but really, she nor I am interested in jail breaking the phone for some of the offered solutions. My question is if others on here have indeed been able to unlock their 4S from Sprint to either use with another CDMA carrier or even with one of the GSM providers? If so, and again, not including a jailbreak method how did they do it? Is it really just a question of being persistent with Sprint? I’m not really pushing it now, but figured I’d get a better idea before I get my new device and have this 4S free. I actually took it in since one of the volume buttons jammed on me and I have insurance on the phone. The Sprint rep at first wanted to charge me the $200.00 deductible to replace it, but I said no way to that. A jammed volume button doesn’t need a full phone replacement especially when I’m going to get a brand new phone next month and since I’ve got insurance on it anyway. He supposedly went in the back to talk to his supervisor (whatever…) and said that they’d this one time swap out the phone for free. So I guess if anything, I’ll have a practically new or at least refurbished new phone for a few weeks that we can sell if unlocking is too much of a hassle and turn around and buy a 16gb iPhone 5 or something with the same money and go with any carrier at that point. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,

RE: External Battery choice
Hi Les, You have to look at something like the Limeade L180X which has a capacity of 18,000 MAH, 3 times that of the Peak 6000. It should allow you to charge your phone about 9 or 10 times before the battery runs out of juice. Keep in mind that these external batteries are meant as an emergency power supply, e.g. you are out and about all morning and used the GPS a lot and after lunch you are down to 10% battery power, but you still have 5 hours to go until you get home. Here is where you would want to pull out your Peak 6000 or whichever battery you decide to buy and plug your phone in. You can use it as it charges and within an hour or a bit more depending on how much you use things like GPS, make calls etc. your battery will be mostly back to 100% and you have lots of juice left to get you through the day. The battery is not necessarily meant as a primary power source for your device, after all, you are most likely sleeping somewhere so even if you are travelling and stay at a hotel or maybe you stay with friends, you still have the opportunity to charge your iPhone over night off the grid so to speak.

Re: Unlocking a Sprint 4S
Unlocking your cell phone in and of itself is not illegal. The unauthorized unlocking of a cell phone violates the DMCA as interpreted by the Library of Congress, but this does not apply to carriers unlocking their own cell phones and this has not been tested in court. It's also not true that Congress declared unlocking a cell phone illegal.

I have actually read that Sprint has no ability to unlock the sim slot for use in the states. The unlock would only work overseas.

They mention that when you pop it in, the phone comes up with some screen where you choose the carrier of the sim you put into the adapter, but is that something that comes up with VO running, or before IOS loads some how? If I used another reseller that is cheaper than Straightalk, but not unlimited, would my phone use Sprint when it can, and fall back to GSM if I couldn't get a call through?

RE: Alerts during a call?
Hi Kirstin, Once a call started, triple click home will not work to turn off Voiceover. However, a 3-finger double tap to turn speech off does indeed work and it definitely is the best work-around since it doesn't matter if the screen locks, it also works in the lock screen, so you only have to pus the home button to wake up you rphone, then do another 3-finger double tap and speech will come on again. I find this is a very reliable gesture for me and I suggest you just practice it because one thing you don't want to do is accidently do a 2-finger double tap since that would hang up your call. I am glad that at least one person agrees with me that Voiceover should be quiet during a call, it seems that a lot of people complain that it jabbers away when a text or push comes in, but when I suggested to write to Apple to ask that that is fixed everybody gets in a huff. Yes, turning off having text messages spoken automatically or in the lock screen may not read them during a call, but if I am not in a call I do want them read automatically so to me having to turn off this feature is an unacceptable compromise ad having to mute speech is acceptable, but only just. Good luck with the 3-finger double tap, I'm sure with a bit of practice you will find it works very well. I also find it useful if I want to record an audio note or some video, for example, where I don't want Voiceover to talk and be recorded when I touch the Stop button and so on. I just turn speech off when I am in the camera app and have switched to video mode, then I use a 2-finger double tap or the volume key to start and stop video recording.
