I know I'm not supposed to say thank you on this list, but I am this time. I 
love they way this keyboard types! It has almost a cushion on the keys. I feel 
like I'm typing on air. It is really a neat keyboard. Everyone have a great 
night.

Thanks again,

Jenn

Re: Keys-To-Go

You can't fit this one in your pocket, but you can do caps lock plus M or 
control option M depending on how you have your modifier keys set up in 
VoiceOver settings. This will take you to the status bar where you can find the 
battery level.

Great suggestion, Kramlinger,! I'll work on making a podcast of Inbox by
Gmail with VoiceOver.
Would others also find this useful?

No it is not a pocket keyboard but would go in a beach bag or backpack.  It has 
a fabric cover making it water resistant.

Review:
Summary: If you want a very thin keyboard with almost full-sized keys, silent 
operation, a spill resistant covering, handy iOS-specific hotkeys and decent 
battery life, check out the Logitech Keys-To-Go.
Dimensions: 5.39" by 9.53" by 0.24" That's right, it's only a quarter-inch 
thick.
Weight: 6.35 ounces
Battery Life: Logitech states that the battery will last for three months on a 
full charge, with approximately two hours use per day. Of course that is an 
estimate. Full charge time is 2.5 hours and Logitech state that each minute of 
charging provides approximately an hour of use.
In USE:
Despite it's diminutive size, most of the keys feel full-sized or almost 
full-sized. Put it this way: I'm used to typing on a large ergonomic PC 
keyboard, and it only took me a minute or two to get used to the Keys-To-Go. If 
you're used to springy clicky keys, it may take you awhile to get used to keys 
that don't travel nearly as far. I'm a fast touch typist, and have no trouble 
going full speed on the Keys-to-Go. After using it for awhile, the full-size PC 
keyboard feels strange and clunky in comparison.
The Keys-To-Go is not waterproof, but it is definitely water resistant. the 
keyboard is covered fully by what Logitech calls FabricSkin, a protective 
textured membrane.
Any liquid spills or crumbs can be wiped away with a damp cloth. The only part 
of this keyboard which should not get wet is the top right-hand-side edge, 
which contains the power switch and mini-USB charging port.
The Keys-To-Go can work with any device, but it is optimized for use with iOS 
devices. From left to right, it's top row of 14 keys perform the following 
functions:
1. Home screen,
2. App Switcher
3. search,
4. switch keyboard language,
5. show/hide virtual keyboard,
6. take a screen shot,
7. previous track
8. play/pause,
9. Next track,
10. mute,
11. volume down
12. volume up
13. Bluetooth connect/pairing
14. battery status
Heading left from Spacebar, the four bottom row keys are: CMD, ALT, CTRL, and 
FN.
Right from Spacebar, CMD and ALT are duplicated.
Other iOS shortcut keys:
Fn + X = Cut
Fn + C = Copy
Fn + V = Paste
Fn + Left cursor = Select left word by word
Fn + Right cursor = Select right word by word
Pairing:
I have not had to re-pair the Keys-To-Go with my iPhone in weeks. As soon as 
you pair once by turning Bluetooth on in iOS, pressing the 2nd from the right 
key on the top row to pair, and tapping the Keys-To-Go in the list of detected 
devices, you're done. Your iOS device should simply recognize and use 
Keys-To-Go as soon as you move the power switch to On, as long as Bluetooth is 
enabled in Settings of course.
Alternate Unit:
I first tried and returned the Logitech K480 keyboard. It was substancially 
thicker, louder, not protected by a membrane, and I couldn't get it to pair 
with my phone.
Price: The Keys-To-Go is about $70 US at the usual places - Apple online store, 
Amazon, Wal-Mart, Best Buy etc.

The Keys-To-Go can work with any device, but it is optimized for use with iOS 
devices. From left to right, it's top row of 14 keys perform the following 
functions:
1. Home screen,
2. App Switcher
3. search,
4. switch keyboard language,
5. show/hide virtual keyboard,
6. take a screen shot,
7. previous track
8. play/pause,
9. Next track,
10. mute,
11. volume down
12. volume up
13. Bluetooth connect/pairing
14. battery status
Heading left from Spacebar, the four bottom row keys are: CMD, ALT, CTRL, and 
FN.
Right from Spacebar, CMD and ALT are duplicated.
Other iOS shortcut keys:
Fn + X = Cut
Fn + C = Copy
Fn + V = Paste
Fn + Left cursor = Select left word by word
Fn + Right cursor = Select right word by word
Pairing:
I have not had to re-pair the Keys-To-Go with my iPhone in weeks. As soon as 
you pair once by turning Bluetooth on in iOS, pressing the 2nd from the right 
key on the top row to pair, and tapping the Keys-To-Go in the list of detected 
devices, you're done. Your iOS device should simply recognize and use 
Keys-To-Go as soon as you move the power switch to On, as long as Bluetooth is 
enabled in Settings of course.
Alternate Unit:
I first tried and returned the Logitech K480 keyboard. It was substancially 
thicker, louder, not protected by a membrane, and I couldn't get it to pair 
with my phone. 
Price: The Keys-To-Go is about $70 US at the usual places - Apple online store, 
Amazon, Wal-Mart, Best Buy etc.

10 Super Efficient Ways Inbox by Gmail Saves You Time

Gmail is good as ever, but could Inbox by Gmail be 
the better choice for you?

Inbox by Gmail is Google’s most recent approach to email organization and 
management. It takes some getting used to, but if it’s capable of giving you a 
simpler email 
workflow, 
it’s worth adopting. And now you don’t even need an invite to use Inbox!

TIL you can mute in @inboxbygmail by pressing 
M.

— Josh Todd (@JoshTodd) April 6, 
2016

To help you decide whether you should switch over to Inbox completely, we’ll 
show you some of the ways in which it’ll make email better for you. But first, 
let’s show you where everything is in Inbox’s interface.

Where Inbox Options Are

You’ll find all of Inbox’s options and settings in one of five locations:

  *   The toolbar that appears when you hover over a message – This is where 
you’ll find the options to pin an email, snooze it, mark it as done (or move it 
to the inbox)

[Image removed by sender. inbox-message-toolbar]

  *   The pop-up menu that appears when you click on the Move to… icon (three 
dots arranged vertically) in the toolbar shown above
  *   The icon-driven menu hidden behind the Compose button – You’ll be able to 
see the menu when you hover over the big red plus (+) icon at the bottom right 
in Inbox
  *   Inbox’s Settings dialog – To bring this up, click on the hamburger icon 
at the top left in the Inbox interface, and in the fly-out sidebar that 
appears, click on Settings

[Image removed by sender. inbox-settings]

  *   Individual bundle settings – To bring up the Settings dialog for any 
bundle, hover on its link in the sidebar and click on the gear icon that 
appears next to it.

[Image removed by sender. inbox-bundle-settings]

Now let’s see how Inbox saves you, the user, both time and effort.

1. Turns Your Emails into To-dos

With Gmail, you can send emails as tasks to your to-do 
list app, but 
with Inbox, your email is your to-do list. Inbox treats it as such because it 
understands that most emails need you to take some kind of action.

Inbox allows you to mark emails as “done” instead of “read” or “archived”. That 
may be a simple change of wording, but it does put a different spin on email 
management.

Emails that you mark as done get shunted out of your way. It’s like checking 
tasks off your to-do list and is the equivalent of archiving in Gmail. You can 
also pin important emails to the top of your inbox for quick access to them.

2. Sorts Email Right for You

Inbox takes the onus of sorting your email and does a pretty good job of it. It 
places similar emails in groups called Bundles.

When you’re setting up Inbox for the first time, you’ll get a prompt to choose 
which type of emails you’d like to see grouped into a separate bundle. Trips, 
Promos, Updates, Forums, and Finance are some of the bundle types that you can 
choose from.

[Image removed by sender. inbox-settings-dialog]

Use the Create new… sidebar link if you’d like to create a custom bundle. You 
can go back and tweak your bundle preferences anytime via Inbox settings.

3. Highlights Just the Data You Need

Inbox also makes it easy to tell if an email has attachments, photos, inline 
images, links to videos, etc., by making their thumbnails visible in your inbox.

thinks you might need. We’re sharing this tweet as an example:

RE: bluetooth headset recommendations

2016-04-16 Thread Cristóbal

In general, the Edge can connect to two devices. In my case, I've got my 
personal cell and business cell connected to it. I'm sure the Apple Watch would 
work  fine  with it.
In my case however, I have my personal cell set to Voiceover Samantha and my 
personal cell to the male Voiceover version  whatever his name  is just so I 
can tell them apart as I get calls and other notifications from them. Don't 
know what kind  of voice options  the Apple Watch  has.

RE: bluetooth headset recommendations

2016-04-16 Thread Cristóbal

It uses a power switch. Another reason  why I  went  with this device over 
others I played with. In general, this  is why I'm partial to Plantronics be it 
with the Edge or previous earpieces I've had. I don't like  the ones where you 
have to press and hold a power button to turn it on. With the Edge, a quick 
flick  of the switch and it turns  on and  connects to an  incoming  call like 
that. Nice and easy.
I once bought a super cheap and totally nondescript bluetooth earpiece off of 
eBay once and so far, it's been the only model where I've been able to turn the 
mono earpiece into stereo with a separate earplug that connects to the charging 
port on  the main earpiece. A very useful feature that I wish I could find  in 
other Bluetooth earpieces.
I recently got myself a Photive bluetooth headset. Upwards of 10 hours 
bluetooth, Noise canceling, microphone, etc. I like them a lot, but that was 
before I came across the Plantronics  Backbeat. Let me know how they sound. I'm 
thinking of getting the Backbeat Pro version. Again, the Photive set is 
perfectly fine, but I am noticing one thing where I can hear the interference 
whenever Voiceover speaks. It's like a low frequency humming. I've come across 
it with other bluetooth sets so it's not like the Photive is unique with this   
quirk. I don't  know if going for something that's supposedly more high end 
would not have this issue though.
I think the Backbeat Pro is selling  for around  $165 US.

Hi Cristobal,

One last question. How do you turn the earpiece on and off? Is it a push button 
or a mechanical switch/slider of some sort?
I wish it was already Bluetooth 4.2, but I haven't seen any headsets using it 
which of course doesn't mean they don't exist, just I haven't found them yet.

There are some things that bug me about it. Don't get me wrong, but all in all, 
I've found  it to be the most complete single earpiece available. The  call 
quality is very important since  I have a home office. If you've got someone  
on  the other end Whose aT-Mobile customer  for  example, the audio is like 
Facetime audio call quality.
I tried the Jabra Supreme and ended up returning  it. Too big for my taste and 
a hassle to put on  quickly. I like the Edge, because the earhook is quick to 
put on and you can also twist the earhook facing downwards to act like a 
kickstand against yur cheek to offer more stability if you dont' want it around 
your ear all the time. If I'm at my desktop, I don't need to have it in and can 
have it off to the side, but if I need to take a call, I can slip it on super 
fast.
I got it for something like $95 US around 10 months ago, but it looks to  be 
down to $75 US now. Less if you  don't want  the  little charging station.

10 Super Efficient Ways Inbox by Gmail Saves You Time

Gmail is good as ever, but could Inbox by Gmail be the better choice for you?

Inbox by Gmail is Google’s most recent approach to email organization and
management. It takes some getting used to, but if it’s capable of giving you a
simpler email workflow, it’s worth adopting. And now you don’t even need an
invite to use Inbox!

To help you decide whether you should switch over to Inbox completely, we’ll
show you some of the ways in which it’ll make email better for you. But first,
let’s show you where everything is in Inbox’s interface.

Where Inbox Options Are

You’ll find all of Inbox’s options and settings in one of five locations:

The toolbar that appears when you hover over a message – This is where you’ll
find the options to pin an email, snooze it, mark it as done (or move it to the
inbox)

The pop-up menu that appears when you click on the Move to… icon (three dots
arranged vertically) in the toolbar shown above
The icon-driven menu hidden behind the Compose button – You’ll be able to see
the menu when you hover over the big red plus (+) icon at the bottom right in
Inbox
Inbox’s Settings dialog – To bring this up, click on the hamburger icon at the
top left in the Inbox interface, and in the fly-out sidebar that appears, click
on Settings

Individual bundle settings – To bring up the Settings dialog for any bundle,
hover on its link in the sidebar and click on the gear icon that appears next
to it.

Now let’s see how Inbox saves you, the user, both time and effort.

1. Turns Your Emails into To-dos

Inbox, your email is your to-do list. Inbox treats it as such because it

— Danger Manley (@DangerManley) March 30, 2016

You’ll appreciate that Inbox is smart enough to not display sensitive data like
license keys in cards.

4. Speeds up Email Replies

For any email that’s currently open, Inbox lists three text snippets beneath
the message. These are replies crafted by Inbox to save you some time. Click on
any of the snippets and a new draft appears with that snippet pasted in the
body of the reply email. You can review and edit the email before you hit Send.

Inbox notes the changes you make and learns from them, crafting better response
options with each iteration. It also works its way up to more complex sentences
as you keep using the Smart Reply feature. Smart replies are available on the
web and on mobile.

The @inboxbygmail auto-replies are creepily accurate. AI is making impressive
strides. And saving me time. :-)

RE: The story continues... Long lost iPhone 6S has finally resurfaced after snow melt

2016-04-16 Thread Merv Keck

Congratulations on finding your phone, smile! I worry about losing my 6S+ or 
drowning it down here in Florida which is the more likely hazard for me. 
Yesterday I got caught about a half mile out in a storm wearing my apple watch 
and my phone and I was more worried about the tech than my neck, laughs!

Hi,

Oh thank you for the update as I had wondered from time to time about it. do 
let us know how it behaves once it reaches you.  I’ll vote for it coming to 
life just for the sheer fun of thinking it could (smile).

Best of luck getting it ultimately sorted.

Hi,

 

just wanted to let everybody know that my brother finally found my iPhone 6S 
yesterday. I lost it during a walk on December 22. It was just off to the side 
a bit in a place where we spent probably a whole hour looking back then. My 
brother said now that the snow and ice is gone he saw it almost right away when 
he went back there.

Re: Changing calendar views.

2016-04-16 Thread Sherrie

This is what I had saved in my iPhone files and it worked when my calendar 
got off the list view. You do have to tap the Today button when opening the 
calendar and that puts you within a day or two of the present one.  Hope it 
still works this way since  It only lists days you have appointments and the 
appointment is listed immediately following the date.  this method was saved 
in January of 2015.


Submitted by Rob on 11 April, 2014 - 06:17

Hi,

One possible work around:

1. bring up the list of months.

2. Select current month (or another month where you know you have an event).

3. You should then have a month screen with all the days showing. Before 
selecting a day with an event on it, if the list button is shown as 
selected,

unselect it with a double tap.

4. Having done that, Swipe through until you find a day where an event 
should show. For example, it might say Friday 11th April, 1 event, then 
double tap

on that day.

5. All events that you have on the calendar should then show up on the next 
screen.


If the list button is selected on the month screen, tapping on an event 
doesn't work.


Hope this helps.

Subject: Changing calendar views.

The calendar has gotten really weird in iOS 9. I'm seeing one day, then a 
bunch of hours listed. I can't seem to be able to find multiple days on the 
screen like I used to be able to. I selected the list view button, but all 
that gave me was days that showed up as headings, and underneath the 
headings were all the appointments for that day. Navigating by heading in 
this few produced very unreliable results, particularly when going up by 
heading rather than down by heading. I would jump from one date to the next, 
sometimes not even in reverse-chronological order,even though I was flicking 
up I don't like either of these views. The way I used to have my calendar 
set up is that all the days/dates would run in rows and columns across the 
screen, but no events would show for a specific day unless it was selected, 
and the events only for that selected day showed up at the bottom of the 
screen. How can I get this view back? I'm running iOS 9 .3 on my iPhone 6S.

RE: A Question About How To Delete Audio Books from the Audible tvOS App on Apple TV 4th Generation

Hello Sieghard,

After my mistaking this app for Audible, I am taking nothing for granted 
(smile).  When I first downloaded the free audiobook, I received a message 
stating that the title was downloading followed by a progress bar.  

Upon subsequence launches of the app, when opening the book there is no such 
message and the title begins playing immediately.  Does this not suggest that 
the book was actually downloaded to my device?  

Just curious as to your thoughts.

This would, by the way, also explain why Mark can't delete the books, 
AudioBooks.com is primarily a streaming service so the books most likely are 
never downloaded to the Apple TV.
Audible offers the streaming of audio books via their website and I wouldn't be 
surprised that there is no app yet because maybe an Apple TV app would strictly 
be a streaming app and it's quite possible that they are still working on 
getting it done (at least I hope so).
I wish you could also just stream books with the iOS app because while there 
are of course situations where I would still want to download books like for a 
long flight or drive where there may be no cell coverage, for most of my usageI 
could stream the book.

RE: A Question About How To Delete Audio Books from the Audible tvOS App on Apple TV 4th Generation

Hello Sieghard,

Well, I definitely have proverbial egg on my face.

You are correct, I just went and looked more closely at the app and it is, 
indeed, AudioBooks--not Audible.  

Wow!  

The icon looks very much like the Audible app, even with the same color scheme. 
 

Wow!.

Well, I guess that’s' that (smile); in terms of Audible.

I apologize for any inconvenience my careless mistake caused anyone.

The problem still persists, however, but at least I will now be on a better 
path to finding the solution.

I must have downloaded the Audiobooks apps many, many years ago and simply 
forgot about having done so.

Again, please accept my apology.

Mark

Hi,

That is indeed interesting and I have a feeling Mark has mistaken the "Audio 
books" app on the Apple TV fourth gen with "Audible". Audio Books is from 
Simply Audio Books at www.AudioBooks.com and after just doing a Google search I 
conclude there is not yet an Audible app for the Apple TV, Google comes up with 
nothing relevant when I search for "Audible app for TVOS".
What I did find with that search were a lot of upset comments on an Amazon 
forum from people who want Amazon to come out with apps for Amazon Video and 
Amazon Music for the Apple TV.

RE: Difficulty activating WiFi Calling

Hello Chip,

The message that you are receiving, informing you that you don't have the right 
kind of account, is precisely why I am suggesting that a new SIM card is 
necessary.

I can only speak as to my experience with A T & T Wireless. 

Simply stated, not all SIMs are created equal.  A few years ago, maybe 5 or 6, 
now that I think about it, I ran into some kind of an activation service 
problem.  After countless attempts, I finally got in contact with a 5th level 
tech support guy who immediately discovered the solution , said solution being 
that a new SIM was required.  I honestly cannot remember the tech jargon but, 
effectively, it came down to the serial number or something on the SIM that was 
flagged in some way that the A T & T network rejected as being not quite right 
or too old, or something.  

Anyway, recently, while on a lunch date, a friend of mine had a problem 
activating her WiFi calling feature.  We simply walked over to the A T & T 
Wireless corporate store and I asked them to swich out her SIM.  The tech 
didn't even ask why.  He just did it and, of course, I was able to activate her 
WiFI calling service, on the spot.

That's about all I can say on it as to the why.

 Of course I cannot guarantee that switching out the SIM will work for you but, 
doing so won't cost you any money and it's can't hurt anything, right?  (smile) 
 This is to say, you have nothing to lose but definitely something to gain.

Good Luck,

Mark

Why would you think this Mark?  I too am having this issue, and I'd like to 
know the why of it before I ask for it.
Fyi, I get a web page which tells me that due to my type of account, I cannot 
use wifi calling; but phone support says there is no account type limitation.


Thanks.

Hello Esther,

It may be that you need a new SIM card for your phone.  Were I you, I would go 
to my local A T & T Wireless corporate store and ask them to switch out the

Hi, All!

I've been grappling back and forth with AT trying to set up WiFi calling and 
they can't seem to get the code needed for doing this.  When I activate WiFi 
calling, and enable it, I get a message saying that they can't set it up until 
I call a particular 800 number which I've done.  The technician I'm dealing

because many of you have set up this feature.  Any help will be truly greatly

RE: A Question About How To Delete Audio Books from the Audible tvOS App on Apple TV 4th Generation

Hello Ricardo,

That is interesting.

By the way, I have called the Audible tech support people, four times.  Each 
time I kept having to explain to them that I was referring to an Apple TV, not 
an iPad, not a browser, not an iPhone but an Apple TV 4th Generation.  

The fourth tech I spoke to admitted that she had not yet used the Apple TV so 
did not know how it works.  She also suggested that the tvOS version would most 
likely not allow legacy account holders to log in.  As I stated, that is no 
problem.

After placing me on hold for over 15 minutes, just as I was about to 
disconnect, she came back on the line and suggested that I try a single-finger 
swipe from right to left on the remote touch pad.  As I was not in front of the 
device at the time, I told her I would try that.  Later, when back at home, I 
first turned off VoiceOver, then attempted that gesture along with every other 
gesture I could think of; nothing worked.

I have done countless Google searches on this but cannot find any references to 
this problem.  

This could be some kind of bug in the app--the fact that they allow one to 
browse and download free books without first having to log in.

Of course, I can always delete the app as doing so will also delete any of its 
contents, or so I hope (smile).

Mark

BookShare

2016-04-16 Thread Richard Turner

I just read the latest BookShare volunteer newsletter.

Bookshare now has over 400,000 titles and also over 400,000 members
worldwide.

With Voice Dream Reader, BookShare is rapidly becoming, if it isn't already,
the best source for books.

 

Also, because of the amazing work Winston has done in the area of dyslexia,
Voice Dream is in the top 30 apps in the education category in the Apple App
store.

 

Pretty amazing!

RE: Braille Sense as Braille display

2016-04-16 Thread Richard Turner

Are you using iOS 9.3.1?

While I have not connected a U2, I have connected the Braille Edge and the 
braille seemed far improved from previous iOS versions.

Has anyone noticed that the Braille Sense u2 is really sluggish when trying to

am using the latest firmware I guess. It just tells me that it is the latest. I 
have only had it for about a month and just tried to connect it today. It 
works, but very very slowly.

No, you can't use a Bluetooth headset with the echo. You can, however, turn off 
the always listening aspect if you don't want it to be on at certain times. 
That is something that has been brought up by  numerous commenters on this 
device, the fact that it is always on, and Amazon could be spying as you say.

I had played these messages. And gotten out of the messages app, come back in

gone. However, since I got the one back that I really need thanks to resend, 
all is well that ends well.

Hi,

he went back there.

RE: A Question About How To Delete Audio Books from the Audible tvOS App on Apple TV 4th Generation

Hi Mary,

I don't have an Echo yet. I must say after listening to the Podcast from the 
CSun conference with the Amazon guy I am somewhat intriqued, but as always I 
wish they packed in some more features. For example, I would probably like the 
original, large Echo, but I don't like the fact it doesn't have a 
headphone/line out jack. Does it allow you to use a Bluetooth headset with it, 
that would be an acceptable compromise as being able to use it with a headset 
would be more important to me than connecting it to an amplifier or receiver, I 
already have my Sonos system for music and can easily Airplay to it from my 
iPhone if I want to listen to an audio book in a particular room or across the 
entire house.
Anyhow, while the Echo seems like an interesting and fun device, I still would 
like to see an Audible app for the Apple TV. Unfortunately at this point many 
Amazon services like Amazon instant video which is part of Amazon Prime in the 
States are not available in Canada and that somewhat takes away from the 
experience.
I like the idea of the Echo being always available even if I'm across the room 
although it does also make me wonder about privacy and what theoretically it 
all could listen to when you think it isn't. It's not like I would think Amazon 
is on the moral high ground and absolutely beyond spying on its customers.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Sieghardt,
You don't by any chance have an Amazon Alexa, do you? That could be an echo or 
one of the newer devices. You can stream audible books in there and pick up on 
your eye device or any other device that supports audible. Of course the book 
would have to be downloaded onto the device in order to pick up where you left

RE: bluetooth headset recommendations

Hi Cristobal,

One last question. How do you turn the earpiece on and off? Is it a push button 
or a mechanical switch/slider of some sort?
I wish it was already Bluetooth 4.2, but I haven't seen any headsets using it 
which of course doesn't mean they don't exist, just I haven't found them yet.

There are some things that bug me about it. Don't get me wrong, but all in all, 
I've found  it to be the most complete single earpiece available. The  call 
quality is very important since  I have a home office. If you've got someone  
on  the other end Whose aT-Mobile customer  for  example, the audio is like 
Facetime audio call quality.
I tried the Jabra Supreme and ended up returning  it. Too big for my taste and 
a hassle to put on  quickly. I like the Edge, because the earhook is quick to 
put on and you can also twist the earhook facing downwards to act like a 
kickstand against yur cheek to offer more stability if you dont' want it around 
your ear all the time. If I'm at my desktop, I don't need to have it in and can 
have it off to the side, but if I need to take a call, I can slip it on super 
fast.
I got it for something like $95 US around 10 months ago, but it looks to  be 
down to $75 US now. Less if you  don't want  the  little charging station.

I like it a lot except that is on the larger side as far as earpieces are 
concerned. It folds and that I like because there is no on/off button, if you 
fold it it's off, if you unfold it it's on. If the phone rings and you unfold 
the headset it automatically turns itself on and picks up the call and it 
supports voice commands like "Answer" when the phone rings and I do find on 
that earpiece it works very reliably.
One thing it does not support is Play/Pause unless they have updated it, I have 
had mine for about 2 years, but you can press and hold the talk button for a 
moment and it activates SIRI so I use it as a work-around and just tell SIRI to 
"Play" or "Pause".
Voice quality is good and considering it's a bit larger it still is comfortable 
at least for me it is..

Sieghard

Re: A Question About How To Delete Audio Books from the Audible tvOS App on Apple TV 4th Generation

2016-04-16 Thread Mary Otten

Hi Sieghardt,
You don't by any chance have an Amazon Alexa, do you? That could be an echo or 
one of the newer devices. You can stream audible books in there and pick up on 
your eye device or any other device that supports audible. Of course the book 
would have to be downloaded onto the device in order to pick up where you left 
off on your Amazon Alexa enabled device.

http://www.plantronics.com/us/support/kb/detail.jsp?vfurl=/articles/en_US/Product_Information/Voyager-Edge-Product-Information=us=All

There are some things that bug me about it. Don't get me wrong, but all in all, 
I've found  it to be the most complete single earpiece available. The  call 
quality is very important since  I have a home office. If you've got someone  
on  the other end 
Whose aT-Mobile customer  for  example, the audio is like Facetime audio call 
quality.
I tried the Jabra Supreme and ended up returning  it. Too big for my taste and 
a hassle to put on  quickly. I like the Edge, because the earhook is quick to 
put on and you can also twist the earhook facing downwards to act like a 
kickstand against yur cheek to offer more stability if you dont' want it around 
your ear all the time. If I'm at my desktop, I don't need to have it in and can 
have it off to the side, but if I need to take a call, I can slip it on super 
fast.
I got it for something like $95 US around 10 months ago, but it looks to  be 
down to $75 US now. Less if you  don't want  the  little charging station.

Subject: RE: bluetooth headset recommendations

I like it a lot except that is on the larger side as far as earpieces are 
concerned. It folds and that I like because there is no on/off button, if you 
fold it it's off, if you unfold it it's on. If the phone rings and you unfold 
the headset it automatically turns itself on and picks up the call and it 
supports voice commands like "Answer" when the phone rings and I do find on 
that earpiece it works very reliably.
One thing it does not support is Play/Pause unless they have updated it, I have 
had mine for about 2 years, but you can press and hold the talk button for a 
moment and it activates SIRI so I use it as a work-around and just tell SIRI to 
"Play" or "Pause".
Voice quality is good and considering it's a bit larger it still is comfortable 
at least for me it is..

Sieghard

RE: A Question About How To Delete Audio Books from the Audible tvOS App on Apple TV 4th Generation

This would, by the way, also explain why Mark can't delete the books, 
AudioBooks.com is primarily a streaming service so the books most likely are 
never downloaded to the Apple TV.
Audible offers the streaming of audio books via their website and I wouldn't be 
surprised that there is no app yet because maybe an Apple TV app would strictly 
be a streaming app and it's quite possible that they are still working on 
getting it done (at least I hope so).
I wish you could also just stream books with the iOS app because while there 
are of course situations where I would still want to download books like for a 
long flight or drive where there may be no cell coverage, for most of my usageI 
could stream the book.

RE: A Question About How To Delete Audio Books from the Audible tvOS App on Apple TV 4th Generation

Hi,

That is indeed interesting and I have a feeling Mark has mistaken the "Audio 
books" app on the Apple TV fourth gen with "Audible". Audio Books is from 
Simply Audio Books at www.AudioBooks.com and after just doing a Google search I 
conclude there is not yet an Audible app for the Apple TV, Google comes up with 
nothing relevant when I search for "Audible app for TVOS".
What I did find with that search were a lot of upset comments on an Amazon 
forum from people who want Amazon to come out with apps for Amazon Video and 
Amazon Music for the Apple TV.

Sieghard

RE: The story continues... Long lost iPhone 6S has finally resurfaced after snow melt

2016-04-16 Thread Richard Turner

Hi Sieghard,

 

If the phone works, you should send the story to all the news outlets and 
Apple.  That would top even the most outlandish Timex watch story.

after snow melt

 

Hi,

 

just wanted to let everybody know that my brother finally found my iPhone 6S 
yesterday. I lost it during a walk on December 22. It was just off to the side 
a bit in a place where we spent probably a whole hour looking back then. My 
brother said now that the snow and ice is gone he saw it almost right away when 
he went back there.

RE: Difficulty activating WiFi Calling

2016-04-16 Thread Chip Orange

Why would you think this Mark?  I too am having this issue, and I'd like to 
know the why of it before I ask for it.
Fyi, I get a web page which tells me that due to my type of account, I cannot 
use wifi calling; but phone support says there is no account type limitation.


Thanks.

Chip

Hello Esther,

It may be that you need a new SIM card for your phone.  Were I you, I would go 
to my local A T & T Wireless corporate store and ask them to switch out the 
SIM.  This should resolve your problem.

Hi, All!

I've been grappling back and forth with AT trying to set up WiFi calling and 
they can't seem to get the code needed for doing this.  When I activate WiFi 
calling, and enable it, I get a message saying that they can't set it up until 
I call a particular 800 number which I've done.  The technician I'm dealing 
with told me that VoiceOver might be the problem, but I don't think it is, 
because many of you have set up this feature.  Any help will be truly greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks.

Re: A Question About How To Delete Audio Books from the Audible tvOS App on Apple TV 4th Generation

Hi,

How interesting. I don’t see the audible.com app in my purchased history, nor 
when I do a search for it in the app store on my apple Tv.
