FaceBook (iOS) Notifications
All, Now that the doubling up issue has been resolved within the latest public build of FaceBook for iOS, I'm noticing another issue about the app which is annoying me! Previously when a notification appeared on the locked screen, or, when viewing FaceBook notifications within the Notification tab of the app itself, the full notification would be read aloud. Now on the locked screen it just says something like: Neil Barnfather commented on your post... and, within the Notification tab of the app itself it just says: Neil Barnfather commented on your post, you physically have to click on the comment etc to read it... grrr... most annoying, anyone else noticed and is there please a fix!

Re: Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
Hi Donna.

What convinced me then was the knowledge that the processor of the iPhone 5 was twice as fast as the processor of the 4S. I believed then that this difference would enable new apps to run on this powerful new phone that eventually could not run on the 4S. Apparently, the future is today with the KNFB reader, as key portions of iOS 8 are not supported for 4S phones. With a camera that preforms poorly in low light, the limitations of the 4S are becoming obvious. The dropping of the 4S from KNFB’s lineup of supported phones shows why it is foolish to buy old technology, such as getting a 5C instead of a 5S. Being locked into last year’s technology will be costlier later when future upgrade costs are considered compared to buying the current version now and upgrading less frequently.

RE: knfb reader
I am still in Scottsdale, my job is in Scottsdale and it is somedays the only reason I can get out of bed, LOL. Right now we are going through a lot of stuff, bikes, tools and I still have that trike we talked about earlier, it is running although it suffered a couple of minor accidents during his last several weeks so fenders are cracked… I plan to sell it maybe in winter to someone who winters here and would like it to get about in a RV community or something. My one cousin is in a hurry, I am not, if it goes it does. If not, well, financially I am okay, not over the top but okay. Have at least two if not three tandems, none in new shape but usable, one with a motor in its back wheel. All with baskets to carry stuff in. My nephew and cousin-in-law know more of the particulars than I do but two of them I know could be ridden last fall. The recumbent trike may be a hard sell and I know I won’t get half of what he paid for it in June 2013. Everyone says it is cute but … Since I am not planning on selling the house soon, I am not in a huge hurry to get rid of things, if they find good homes fine, if not, eventually well time will tell. This week it is time to replace the back portion of the fence, a must since the one out there is falling down. Cousin-in-law and son are doing it. After that I have plumbing issues that will have to be addressed, loads of them in a 50-year-old house, then … I have no clue.

RE: knfb reader
Tom had a very prolonged illness from 2009 to 2014. He passed May 30, and it is good to know he is not in pain any longer but he surely is missed. He had necrosis of the pancreas they think from a whooping cough shot he got only a couple of days before he became ill. Since then I have seen loads of cases with the same reaction, something they did to the formula I gather.

It is correct, however, that the same 8 MP camera on the 5S is better than that on the 4S or 5 since the sensor has larger pixels and it has the 2-tone flash which yields better results in low light. And yes, I can see how the processing of the image is best on a 5S and better on a 5 or 5C than it is on the 4S and of course it will yet be better on the various iPhone 6 models which besides getting the A8 chip most likely will feature a 13 MP camera. I am not sure where you get the 8.5 Megapixel number, not that 8 MP or 8.5 MP would mnake a big difference, but here is part of a description of the 5S eyesight camera followed by the link to the entire article: The new iSight camera on iPhone 5s builds on the iPhone 5 camera in ways that make a real difference to your photos. It captures beautiful images at 8 megapixels. What makes them beautiful is a redesigned camera sensor that allows for bigger pixels. Bigger pixels equal better photos. And better photos are precisely what inspired the advancements we made with the new iSight camera on iPhone 5s. Larger sensor. Larger pixels. Larger aperture. Light is one of the most important factors in getting a great photo. Not just how well your subject is lit, but how sensitive your camera’s sensor is to light. Here’s how it works: A camera’s sensor — and the pixels on it — collect light. The larger the sensor and the larger the pixels, the more light is collected. And that translates to better, brighter images with truer colours and less noise. https://www.apple.com/ca/iphone-5s/camera Regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alan Paganelli Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2014 11:42 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: knfb reader I believe the 4 and the 4s have a 3.2 megapixel camera.

Re: Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
I am not quite sure what I said that confused you. I said nothing about going into notification center and that isn't what I did. I went into General accessibility Voiceover show notifications in locked screen and turned it off. Shawn has it almost right; it doesn't announce the number of notifications when I am about to unlock the screen; it just periodically announces how many notifications I have and then after a few seconds says screen locked. I don't know if it is doing this at intervals or whenever a new notification comes in or what is the trigger but it is very annoying and it is happening across all devices that I have set not to show notifications in locked screen. I hope this makes it clear. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

RE: knfb reader
You can work around a broken home button quite easily. Turn on Assistive Touch in Settings, General, Accessibility. This puts a button on the screen which is called Assistive Touch Menu. I believe by default it is at the top left of the screen, but you can move it around. My wife's iPod Touch Fifth Gen has a broken home button and that is what we did. We moved it to the bottom of the screen just above where the physical home button is. Now if you want to do anything that involves the home button, e.g. exit an app, double tap it to bring up the app switcher, hold it to activate SIRI, you can do all of this from the assistive touch menu. Double tap the button and you get the following options: SIRI FaVorites DeVice Home SIRI of course will activate SIRI. The Favorites option is something we haven't used, it allows you to add custom gestures. Device has the following options: Lock screen Rotate Screen More Back Volume Down Volume Up The More button in the Device option is where you want to go to bring up the App Switcher, it is called Multi-Tasking. Apart from that in that menu you find options to take a screenshot which normally you do by pressing the power and home buttons together and there are a couple other things in there. It's a bit cumbersome if, for example, you want to bring up the app switcher since you would have to double tap the assistive touch menu, then double tap on Device, then on More and then on Multi Tasking. But it's a solution which allows you to use a device which otherwise would be useless. I took the iPod /Touch to an Apple Store and was told that they can't repair a home button on an iPod Touch although I believe they can repair or replace it on an iPhone. This iPod Touch is only a year and a half old and the only alternatives the guy at the Apple Store gave me was to give me a replacement for $150 which is not all that bad since it's a 32 Gig Fifth Gen iPod Touch, but since it works perfectly well apart from the home button I didn't want to do that just now also because I had it engraved at the time and we would lose that. Maybe once the new iPads are announced in October I'll sell it and buy an iPad Mini or maybe there will even be a sixth Generation iPod Touch this fall which will be worthwhile considering. Apple also told me I could always trade it in and by doing so get a 10% discount on whatever other device I would buy.

What convinced me then was the knowledge that the processor of the iPhone 5 was twice as fast as the processor of the 4S. I believed then that this difference would enable new apps to run on this powerful new phone that eventually could not run on the 4S. Apparently, the future is today with the KNFB reader, as key portions of iOS 8 are not supported for 4S phones. With a camera that preforms poorly in low light, the limitations of the 4S are becoming obvious. The dropping of the 4S from KNFB’s lineup of supported phones shows why it is foolish to buy old technology, such as getting a 5C instead of a 5S. Being locked into last year’s technology will be costlier later when future
RE: IPhone 6
I agree that things like the size are rumours. The ones I heard state that it might be likely we'll see a 128 Gb iPhone 6 but possibly only in the 5.5 inch size. I think things like the screen size are by now pretty much confirmed since there are lots of leaked photos of what the new iPhone will look like. Other things like the A8 chip are maybe not confirmed but given. I think Apple would really get it if they released a new phone with the same chip they used a year ago. In this case I also feel a better camera is a given since once again they just can't put out a device for the third year with only 8 MP. I also think they would want to give developers the opportunity to take advantage of all the new iOS 8 improvements by adding a much better camera.

RE: NFC-Near Field Communication
I agree with Alex on that one. I heard about the guy who apparently pointed out on a picture of the board that there is a spot which is the size of some NFC chip, but Apple's apparent aversion to NFC makes me wonder. What does make sense to me is the argument that Apple might launch their own payment solution which might use iBeacons. Apple has the largest number of customers with credit cards on file from any company in the world and this would be a logical step for them and probably a cash cow.

Re: Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
Hi Cheryl I chose in settings not to have notifications spoken in lock screen. You didn't say that you turned off speak notifications in accessibility. So being both notification center and accessibility are both found under settings, this is one reason that I was confused. Secondly, if you havent taken all of the apps that you do not want notification alerts out of showing up in notification center, even though you have turned off speak notifications off in accessibility, notifications will still be spoken. So remove all necessary apps from the notification center by tapping on the app while in notification center and select to turn off sounds and the alert being shown on the lock screen. One would think that by turning off speak notifications in lock screen, in accessibility, this would override any thing in notification center. Guess this is a bug of sorts.

Re: NFC-Near Field Communication
I'm hearing lots and lots of swirling speculation about iBeacons. We shall see when the roll-out happens next week. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing about it.

I heard about the guy who apparently pointed out on a picture of the board that there is a spot which is the size of some NFC chip, but Apple’s apparent aversion to NFC makes me wonder. What does make sense to me is the argument that Apple might launch their own payment solution which might use iBeacons. Apple has the largest number of customers with credit cards on file from any company in the world and this would be a logical step for them and probably a cash cow.

Re: Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
Also, maybe I am looking in the wrong place but under notifications, unless I go into the individual ones, all it says is access on locked screen and that can be either turned on or off. I want that on; I want to be able to access notifications without having to put in my password and unlock. I just do not want an announcement of the number of notifications given periodically when I have the phone in my bag locked and have not pressed the power button; that is all I want. As soon as I press the power button, it can say anything it wants to say and I should be able to access notifications but if the voiceover option is supposed to allow you not to hear notifications in locked screen then you shouldn't have to hear the numbe of notifications announded periodically either. If it's going to do that, it might as well just read them all and get it over with. I hope I have made it completely clear now what my issue is; I do realize it can be confusing when you have some similar options in various sections, but I do not want to modify my notifications and I do not want to have to completely unlock my phone to see them; I just don't want any announcements when my phone is locked and I haven't pressed the power button to go into the unlock screen. Maybe there isn't a way to do this. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

One would think that by turning off speak notifications in lock screen, in accessibility, this would override any thing in notification center. Guess this is a bug of sorts.

Re: Facebook (iOS) Notifications
It might just be Facebook. I noticed in the last several days when I get email notifications that they just say So and so posted a status, or So and So made a comment. It used to have the actual status or comment or whatever in the email. Very aggravating. I am going to cancel my email notifications since they are useless.

Previously when a notification appeared on the locked screen, or, when viewing FaceBook notifications within the Notification tab of the app itself, the full notification would be read aloud. Now on the locked screen it just says something like: Neil Barnfather commented on your post… and, within the Notification tab of the app itself it just says: Neil Barnfather commented on your post, you physically have to click on the comment etc to read it… grrr… most annoying, anyone else noticed and is there please a fix!

Re: Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
To clarify more what I mean; if I wanted to turn off show on lock screen for messages, I would go to Settings, Notification Center, swipe down to Include in Notification Center, I would then double tap on Messages. A window will open allowing me to set how I want to set alerts for Messages. If I swipe down andturn off show on lock screen this should keep Messages alerts from being shown when the phone is locked. You will have to go through the above process for each and all apps.

Re: vacation mode
Sieghard and I both recently posted instructions on how to do this in the last few weeks. I'll repost what Sieghard said just a few days ago. I'll repost Sieghard's instructions since they assume you're using Windows, whereas I use Ubuntu. Sieghard's also a better writer than I am. These were also easier for me to find! Click on the following link to go to the Viphone list home page (the link is also at the bottom of each post): http://groups.google.com/group/viphone You have to sign in with your Google account credentials, then find a button called My Settings, activate it then activate the Membership and email settings button. Now go to the very bottom of the page and arrow up until you find where it says how you receive your messages, press enter on that and select to receive no email updates from the list of options. When you are done don't forget to find the Save button at the bottom and activate it. I am using A Windows 7 laptop with Internet Explorer 11 and Jaws 15. It seems Jaws doesn't read the My Settings button although it has done so in the past. In any case, it's the one right after the one Jaws reads as Filters button menu. For me it's the sixth button on the page if you start at the very top and use the buttons quick navigation key which is b in Jaws.

Re: lire and background fetching of articles
You can use a Feedly account, which has the advantage of syncing your subscriptions across any Feedly-enabled apps on any device or website. Or, you can not use one, and just rely on Lire itself. You can still keep things in sync across devices, I think, but only using iCloud and only on devices also running Lire. I use ReadKit on my Mac, so I need Feedly acting as a syncing service to keep both Lire and ReadKit updated with each other. In fact, I'm currently using Newsify on an old iPod, and, using Feedly, that app is kept up to date as well.

Re: Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
Thank you very much; I hear and appreciate what you are saying. But I do not want to have to access the notification center. The only thing I want is for the number of notifications to stop being announced. I have many notifications and I am not going to go through and put each one of them on to not show in locked screen when all I want is for the phone to stop announcing the number of notifications I have. But I appreciate your efforts to help with this. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

(found acceptable solution, I think!) Re: Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
I finally just decided to turn manual on for Do Not Disturb, at least when I am working with a braille display. I am allowing all calls and messages through however. This seems to have stopped the announcements of how many notifications I have but I still see how many there are and can access all of them as soon as I press the power button to go into the unlock screen. If I find I am missing anything important I will then reconsider other strategies. of course when running around the house or elsewhere and not using a braille display I can just turn manual off. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

RE: NFC-Near Field Communication
Here in Canada you can tap and pay with Visa and Mastercard at a lot of places especially grocery stores, drug stores, convenience stores, liquor stores and so on. Depending on which store there is a limit, e.g. I think at Safeway I can tap my card if my grocery purchase is under $100, if it's more I have to still put in my PIN. I guess in the States using a PIN with a credit card is not very widely spread, either, here it is common place. You stick in your card, enter your 4-digit Pin just like with a bank card and off you go, no signature necessary.

Re: NFC-Near Field Communication
It's neat to hear how other countries do it. In the U.S., at least where I am, credit cards, and debit cards run as credit, require a signature. Debit cards run as debit require only a pin. To my knowledge, there are no limits; a $1.50 candy bar or a $1,000 Macbook have those same rules. Of course, NFC and an iPhone6 would alleviate many annoyances for blind consumers - signing on electronic screens where you can't easily use a signature guide, orienting your card the right way, locating the card machine (especially if it's a moveable one), and so on.

When I tap my credit card here I still have to locate the terminal because I have to actually physically touch the side of the card where the chip is embedded to the terminal which I guess is why they call it tapping.

RE: College Football
I also have to say I liked tune In Radio's coverage this year. True, they probably don't have every team and every game, but the ones they do have are the ESPN Radio feeds, which are nice and unbiased. Also, the games I really wanted were available that way. I got the Alabama game, and when there wasn't a game on in which either particular team was one I was totally passionate about, I checked out the Purdue game and it was a really good game too. So that is also an option. Maybe it's not one you want as your only option, but it is nonetheless. Oh they also had the Compass college feeds too which were also unbiased. Unless I have a team I am particularly rooting for, I really enjoy when I can get unbiased coverage. Now I usually like the Bama broadcasters, but because it was there and easy, I chose the ESPN ones. And when it comes to pro, and the Eagles are playing, I don't care how tired or easy it is, I will not choose an unbiased feed; Eagles network all the way grin but I digress. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bobby Druesedow Sent: Friday, August 29, 2014 11:13 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: College Football There are several different ones.

Re: netflix i o s app has it inproved??
Hi Netflix to me looks like it uses different tyles for the different sections, as I can double tap and drag left to reveal more shows within that section. I still think the easiest way to use it is to just flick through until you find the show you want to watch, then just use the search box to locate and launch it. Netflix isn't fully accessible, but is still usable. It could be better, but it could be much worse. Hope this helps, Brett.

RE: FaceBook (iOS) Notifications
I hadn't been into the facebook app but did notice that when the notifications come in. that is totally annoying! If there is more than one comment, like if neil commented Joe commented on my status, I could see clicking, but I liked if only one person did so you could read the status. Glad the doubling up is fixed; that was annoying me to no end.

Previously when a notification appeared on the locked screen, or, when viewing FaceBook notifications within the Notification tab of the app itself, the full notification would be read aloud. Now on the locked screen it just says something like: Neil Barnfather commented on your post. and, within the Notification tab of the app itself it just says: Neil Barnfather commented on your post, you physically have to click on the comment etc to read it. grrr. most annoying, anyone else noticed and is there please a fix!

Re: Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
Thanks for the explanation. My do not disturb solution seems to be working, though it does mean I have to consciously remember to press the power button and check at intervals. That's okay, since my reason for doing this is just to not have my braille display get disabled every time a notification comes in and this way I have a lot more control of when that is going to happen; when I'm not using the braille display, I can quickly turn off manual do not disturb, which is a lot easier than going in and changing back each of my notifications as Donna advised. Her method may work too but it was way more work than I wanted to be doing possibly several times a day. I still have phone calls and messages coming through, which will also affect the braille display, but I think I just have to live with that. The other solution is to only have my display paired with one i-device at a time but I got tired of going in and pairing and removing repeatedly. I can dream of a multi-link braille display like my IOGear multi-link keyboard and I do know some are coming out that allow you to switch between bluetooth devices but I really like my Edge anyway and it's not likely that i'm going to have the money to do a big splurge like that in the immediate future. So work-arround is the name of the game, and everybody has to figure out what works best for the particular situation. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Re: Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
Yeah, and that wouldn't work well because even with vibration, I think I'd be likely to miss a call or message and those I don't want to stop from coming. Hmmm, it wouldn't hurt any to play around with the vibration choices and see if I could live with that when necessary. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

As soon as I press the power button, it can say anything it wants to say and I should be able to access notifications but if the voiceover option is supposed to allow you not to hear notifications in locked screen then you shouldn't have to hear the numbe of notifications announded periodically either. If it's going to do that, it might as well just read them all and get it over with. I hope I have made it completely clear now what my issue is; I do realize it can be confusing when you have some similar options in various sections, but I do not want to modify my notifications and I do not want to have to completely unlock my phone to see them; I just don't want any announcements when my phone is locked and I haven't pressed the power button to go into the unlock screen.

You didn't say that you turned off speak notifications in accessibility. So being both notification center and accessibility are both found under settings, this is one reason that I was confused. Secondly, if you havent taken all of the apps that you do not want notification alerts out of showing up in notification center, even though you have turned off speak notifications off in accessibility, notifications will still be spoken. So remove all necessary apps from the notification center by tapping on the app while in notification center and select to turn off sounds and the alert being shown on the lock screen. One would think that by turning off speak notifications in lock screen, in accessibility, this would override any thing in notification center. Guess this is a bug of sorts.

Turn on Assistive Touch in Settings, General, Accessibility. This puts a button on the screen which is called Assistive Touch Menu. I believe by default it is at the top left of the screen, but you can move it around. My wife's iPod Touch Fifth Gen has a broken home button and that is what we did. We moved it to the bottom of the screen just above where the physical home button is. Now if you want to do anything that involves the home button, e.g. exit an app, double tap it to bring up the app switcher, hold it to activate SIRI, you can do all of this from the assistive touch menu. Double tap the button and you get the following options: SIRI FaVorites DeVice Home SIRI of course will activate SIRI. The Favorites option is something we haven't used, it allows you to add custom gestures. Device has the following options: Lock screen Rotate Screen More Back Volume Down Volume Up The More button in the Device option is where you want to go to bring up the App Switcher, it is called Multi-Tasking. Apart from that in that menu you find options to take a screenshot which normally you do by pressing the power and home buttons together and there are a couple other things in there. It's a bit cumbersome if, for example, you want to bring up the app switcher since you would have to double tap the assistive touch menu, then double tap on Device, then on More and then on Multi Tasking. But it's a solution which allows you to use a device which otherwise would be useless. I took the iPod /Touch to an Apple Store and was told that they can't repair a home button on an iPod Touch although I believe they can repair or replace it on an iPhone. This iPod Touch is only a year and a half old and the only alternatives the guy at the Apple Store gave me was to give me a replacement for $150 which is not all that bad since it's a 32 Gig Fifth Gen iPod Touch, but since it works perfectly well apart from the home button I didn't want to do that just now also because I had it engraved at the time and we would lose that. Maybe once the new iPads are announced in October I'll sell it and buy an iPad Mini or maybe there will even be a sixth Generation iPod Touch this fall which will be worthwhile considering.

Definition please
On a different list, I mentioned that I was contemplating purchasing a used or refurbished iPhone 5S. A respondent advised me to make sure that the 5S was both carrier unlocked and iCloud unlocked. Frankly, just what does he mean regarding iCloud unlocked? My 4S is running on Page Plus which runs on the Verizon network. In fact, when I had only the 4, it had been run on Verizon, and all I had to do to get it up and running on Page Plus was to pay the money and provide the MEID. So I guess that what I am trying to ascertain is whether a 5S with a clean ESN will run without problem on Page Plus. Will I have to get a different Nano Sim?

RE: knfb reader
Hi Rose, I have been using my wife's iPod Touch with the Assistive Touch menu for a while now and it works perfectly well in terms of functionality and accessibility. It's not as convenient as pressing, ddouble pressing or pressing and holding the home key, but it beats throwing the thing away.

Turn on Assistive Touch in Settings, General, Accessibility. This puts a button on the screen which is called Assistive Touch Menu. I believe by default it is at the top left of the screen, but you can move it around. My wife's iPod Touch Fifth Gen has a broken home button and that is what we did. We moved it to the bottom of the screen just above where the physical home button is. Now if you want to do anything that involves the home button, e.g. exit an app, double tap it to bring up the app switcher, hold it to activate SIRI, you can do all of this from the assistive touch menu. Double tap the button and you get the following options: SIRI FaVorites DeVice Home SIRI of course will activate SIRI. The Favorites option is something we haven't used, it allows you to add custom gestures. Device has the following options: Lock screen Rotate Screen More Back Volume Down Volume Up The More button in the Device option is where you want to go to bring up the App Switcher, it is called Multi-Tasking. Apart from that in that menu you find options to take a screenshot which normally you do by pressing the power and home buttons together and there are a couple other things in there. It's a bit cumbersome if, for example, you want to bring up the app switcher since you would have to double tap the assistive touch menu, then double tap on Device, then on More and then on Multi Tasking. But it's a solution which allows you to use a device which otherwise would be useless. I took the iPod /Touch to an Apple Store and was told that they can't repair a home button on an iPod Touch although I believe they can repair or replace it on an iPhone. This iPod Touch is only a year and a half old and the only alternatives the guy at the Apple Store gave me was to give me a replacement for $150 which is not all that bad since it's a 32 Gig Fifth Gen iPod Touch, but since it works perfectly well apart from the home button I didn't want to do that just now also because I had it engraved at the time and we would lose that. Maybe once the new iPads are announced in October I'll sell it and buy an iPad Mini or maybe there will even be a sixth Generation iPod Touch this fall which will be worthwhile considering. Apple also told me I could always trade it in and by doing so get a 10% discount on whatever other device I would buy.

Re: netflix i o s app has it inproved??
I used to be able to double tap and hold, and then slide left to reveal more results, but now nothing happens when I do this. The line of results don't update. This has been rather frustrating. Thanks, Ari On Sep 1, 2014, at 2:48 PM, Brett brettst...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Netflix to me looks like it uses different tyles for the different sections, as I can double tap and drag left to reveal more shows within that section. I still think the easiest way to use it is to just flick through until you find the show you want to watch, then just use the search box to locate and launch it. Netflix isn't fully accessible, but is still usable. It could be better, but it could be much worse. Hope this helps, Brett.

The thing to remember about it is that you can't use the left and right swiping gestures. You have to use the three-finger-swipe to go between pages and double-tap the actual movie title you want. This could probably be improved, but it is still quite useable.
