Adding feed to Overcast

[Juliette Swiler]

I have a podcast feed that can not seem to be added to the overcast app. It is 
for the Rush Limbaugh show and requires a user name and password. But I don't 
see where to enter login info. Thanks.

Apple Pay question

[denise avant]

Hello all,
I have just started using Apple pay. I have two cards, one of which is the 
default card. I recently charged an item using Apple pay, and the charge went 
to the default card automatically. If I want to use the other card, what do I 
need to do to use that one.
 thanks.

Issues with Facebook

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have a weird problem with Facebook. I just updated it about a day, or 
2 ago. I also have the latest IOS update.


This morning I went to Facebook. I prefer to use it on my phone, than on 
the computer.

A friend of mine posted an update about her baby. I wanted to read the 
comments. So I tapped on the link. When I did, this horrible sound came 
out of my phone. It caused me to almost drop it.


Anyway, the sound didn't last. But then when I wanted to view the 
previous comments, I heard it again. That noise scares me! LOL!


I haven't checked out any other postings to see if the same thing 
happens. I know that I should. But I honestly do not want to hear that 
awful sound again.


Is anyone else experiencing this?

Or does anybody have any idea as to what could be causing this?

The noise sounds familiar. I think I heard this sort of sound a little 
over a year ago. I think it was some sort of bug, if I remember 
correctily. But it would start, and wouldn't go away. If I remember 
right, I always had to restart my phone. Which was difficult, because 
you couldn't hear voiceover.


Thoughts on this matter would be much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

take care with whatsapp update

[Davy Cuppens]

Hi 

Whatsapp has changed its policy towards audio messaging. When holding the phone 
straight short to your ears, you heare the message but it seems quite a cold 
sharp quality. Removing the phone from your head results in changing the voice 
routing throug the moutiece and it is very weak even not readable anymore. 

Maybe some folks find this a good change but I suppose most will not.

Regards 
Davy

Re: Netflix Audio Described programs

[Richard Turner]

Yes, the issue is not all episodes are described on all shows.
And, even after the show added audio description on the broadcast, doesn't mean 
the streaming episodes have it.
Bones, for example, the first episode of season 9 streams with description, but 
season 10 and even later in season 9 it doesn't seem to stream.
Quite frustrating.

Issue With Refreshable Braille

[Keith Bundy]

Hello, all. I've been away from the list for a while, so I apologize if
this question has appeared before.

I am running an iPhone 6 using IOS 10 - latest upgrade. I am using a
Brailliant BI 40 display with the phone.

I have noticed that the display often locks up and kicks me out of what I
am doing. I’not not sure if the dispay, which I just got in August, has a
bad bluetooth receiver or if this is a glitch with IOS 10. I have noticed
this issue particularly in Google Docs.

Also, someone thought that the problem could stem from my running a
bluetooth hearing aid through the phone as well. Any thoughts on that would
be appreciated, too.

Keith

RE: Netflix Audio Described programs

Richard,

 

Thanks so much for posting this. This is a very handy list to access on one's 
computer what's audio described in Netflix for those of us considering a 
subscription.

Greetings,

The American Council of the Blind has a page for audio described programs.  
They have a page devoted to Netflix that says it is updated weekly.  At this 
point they seem to have over 200 audio described items.  I thought folks would 
want to know this.

RE: A Blindsquare question about constant distance travelled announcements

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Thanks, Richard, I will try this. If this is what causes it they should 
desensitise the shake gesture, I walk very smoothly and have a pretty light 
step so if shake is triggered by this it’s waytoo sensitive.

Check your shake settings. In the Other, settings, I think you want shake to 
read pedometer off. Especially when walking.

Subject: A Blindsquare question about constant distance travelled announcements

Hi,

I had uninstalled Blindsquare some time ago and as I am in Calgary right now 
and use GPS more frequently I thought I put it back and see how it is. Today I 
was at an Ikea in the far Southeast of the city which is a fairly industrial 
zone and I started it up just to let it tell me my streets and cross streets. 
When I used the headset remote to stop it at “Location” it didn’t actually give 
me my location/address and then it told me that I had travelled 95 metres in 1 
minute and consequently kept telling me every couple of seconds that I now had 
travelled 100 metres in 1 minute, then 105 metres, then 110 metres etc. I seem 
to remember that I had this issue before and it was one of the reasons why I 
uninstalled it. It seems when it starts telling me the distance walked it just 
won’t stop and it’s extremely annoying. Do any of you Blindsquare experts have 
any suggestions how I can stop it doing this? Unfortunately it also seems 
Calgary Transit is not one of the places where transit information is available 
since I have been at many a bus stop and Blindsquare never seems to know this. 
I may be blind and a german square head, but Blindsquare and I just don’t seem 
to get along *smile*.

Incidently I asked SIRI “What is my current location” after which SIRI usually 
replies with an approximate address. This time SIRI told me that I was in 
Calgary, Alberta, which of course was not news to me yet it was of course of 
little help. I then started the Seeing Eye app and it immediately told me the 
address where I was and announced the street and upcoming cross street.


Regards,
Sieghard

Re: sending lithium batteries

[Deidre Muccio]

I have an 888 number for Amazon customer service which does work. As it turns 
out in order to access her order and this person is New Zealand so I don't know 
if those numbers you provided will work… I need the billing address not of her 
New Zealand bottom of this other place in Portland Oregon which either was the 
seller or the person Amazon sent it to. It's a little overly complicated. 
Anyway it does sound like they might be willing to take it back even though 
this was purchased months ago at this point. Now all I need for them to 
determine whether they will take it back is the address in Portland Oregon. It 
is on a piece of paper right here under my handbag cayenne FB reader didn't 
seem to scan it well enough for me to get the complete address so off to the 
neighbors I go. What is a order number good for if not to access the person's 
account and the item in question?

 Reply-To: 
 Hey all,
 A friend in NZ ordered the item I will paste below. She bought this to
 charge her phone while away from home and wanting to access data on her
 phone on the spot. Plus this power bank appears to have a talking chip in
 it. 
Problem is it is not feasible to ship it by air and via UPS the
 charge would be triple what she paid for the thing. What am I supposed to 
 do
 with this thing. She was told by someone she thought knew how this would
 work, to have Amazon ship it to yet another place that begins with a Y and
 something I've never heard of before. They too could not ship it so she is
 still out one power bank and $44. No one has looked at the box to check
 shipping method or price so I don't know yet who paid for that and how it
 made it here.
In the new 2016 definitions for transport of lithiam batteries it
 says that batteries inside equipment have different regulations. What does
 that even mean? The regulations themselves are dizzying.
It seems if the buyer is to recoup her $44 I will need to find
 someone locally to come pick it up! Any ideas?

Re: sending lithium batteries

[Les Kriegler]

Richard, the second number you provided is the one that works. As a matter 
fact, I called that one yesterday and spoke with a representative concerning an 
order I placed.

Netflix Audio Described programs

[Richard Turner]

Greetings,
The American Council of the Blind has a page for audio described programs.  
They have a page devoted to Netflix that says it is updated weekly.  At this 
point they seem to have over 200 audio described items.  I thought folks would 
want to know this.

Hey all,
A friend in NZ ordered the item I will paste below. She bought this to
charge her phone while away from home and wanting to access data on her
phone on the spot. Plus this power bank appears to have a talking chip in
it.
   Problem is it is not feasible to ship it by air and via UPS the
charge would be triple what she paid for the thing. What am I supposed to do
with this thing. She was told by someone she thought knew how this would
work, to have Amazon ship it to yet another place that begins with a Y and
something I've never heard of before. They too could not ship it so she is
still out one power bank and $44. No one has looked at the box to check
shipping method or price so I don't know yet who paid for that and how it
made it here.
   In the new 2016 definitions for transport of lithiam batteries it
says that batteries inside equipment have different regulations. What does
that even mean? The regulations themselves are dizzying.
   It seems if the buyer is to recoup her $44 I will need to find

RE: A Blindsquare question about constant distance travelled announcements

[Larry Lumpkin]

Hi.  Not much help, but I think you can turn off that feature.

 

 

From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of 
Sieghard Weitzel
Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2016 2:38 AM

Subject: A Blindsquare question about constant distance travelled announcements

 

Hi,

 

I had uninstalled Blindsquare some time ago and as I am in Calgary right now 
and use GPS more frequently I thought I put it back and see how it is. Today I 
was at an Ikea in the far Southeast of the city which is a fairly industrial 
zone and I started it up just to let it tell me my streets and cross streets. 
When I used the headset remote to stop it at “Location” it didn’t actually give 
me my location/address and then it told me that I had travelled 95 metres in 1 
minute and consequently kept telling me every couple of seconds that I now had 
travelled 100 metres in 1 minute, then 105 metres, then 110 metres etc. I seem 
to remember that I had this issue before and it was one of the reasons why I 
uninstalled it. It seems when it starts telling me the distance walked it just 
won’t stop and it’s extremely annoying. Do any of you Blindsquare experts have 
any suggestions how I can stop it doing this? Unfortunately it also seems 
Calgary Transit is not one of the places where transit information is available 
since I have been at many a bus stop and Blindsquare never seems to know this. 
I may be blind and a german square head, but Blindsquare and I just don’t seem 
to get along *smile*.

 

Incidently I asked SIRI “What is my current location” after which SIRI usually 
replies with an approximate address. This time SIRI told me that I was in 
Calgary, Alberta, which of course was not news to me yet it was of course of 
little help. I then started the Seeing Eye app and it immediately told me the 
address where I was and announced the street and upcoming cross street.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Re: Sending MP3's to Someone for Play on an iPad or iPhone

[Rich De Steno]

I did some checking on the internet and it appears that one can download 
from the App Store a free version of Winzip and unzip the zip file with 
it.  It sounds like this is a simple solution for the recipient of my 
zip file to access the files within.  We will try it.


Rich De Steno

Hi Rich,

If the recipient has Voice dream Reader, they should be able to choose to open 
the file using that app. It can handle zip files just fine.

If they don't have VDR, I would suggest sharing a Dropbox folder with the 
recipient. If the recipient favorites the files, the files will be downloaded 
to the recipient's iPad. I'm pretty sure it's also possible to move files from 
one Dropbox folder to another using the Dropbox app, so the recipient could do 
that.

Best,
Anna

I want to send about fifteen MP3 files, each about 5 megs in size.  My initial 
plan was to zip them up into a zip file and send a public link to the recipient 
to my Dropbox.  However, the iPad recipient was unable to do anything with that 
zip file.  My idea now is to send each MP3 as an email attachment.  I gather 
this will enable the recipient to play them, but not to save them to the iPad 
as music files.  Apparently, that can only be done through iTunes on a 
computer.  That is where it stands now.

Rich,

How many MP3s do you plan to send and what is the total size?  Can the
MP3s stream or must they be downloaded to the other person's device?
Please offer more information to identify a realistic solution.

Deleting a message thread in the messenger part of face book using i devices?

[cmohney1961]

Good morning everyone.
Before IOS 10 and the latest version of face book messenger it was possible to 
just up arrow on someone's name and it would ask if you wanted to delete the 
messages. Now, that option isn't there and i'm not seeing a delete or edit 
button.  Does anyone know if it is possible to delete messages now?  Thank you.

RE: what are the advantages of upgrading from 6SPlus to 7Plus?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Brian,

Now if you have an iPhone 6 and are considering an upgrade I would if it were 
me definitely upgrade to the 7 or 7 Plus. That is just my opinion. Of course if 
your 6 is working well you may also simply want to wait for the iPhone 8 or 
whatever next year's 10th anniversary phone will be called. I somehow doubt 
they simply call it the iPhone 7S or 7S Plus, but who knows. I really do 
believe there will be something big in store for next year and there are 
already rumours which point to that.

By the way, Chris, I don't know which 6S you have, i.e. is it a 16 Gb, 64 Gb or 
128 Gb model? Anyhow, if you can get it unlocked by your carrier and sell it 
privately you will get way more than $200. I just called Telus here in Canada 
to get them to unlock my wife's iPhone 6 which is a Silver 64 Gb model because 
she has a 6S now and we want to sell it and when I was just at an Apple Store I 
asked what we might ask and the Apple Genious said I should probably ask $600 
(that is of course Canadian) and then if somebody offered a bit less we would 
have enough room to move and still get a good price for it. The phone still has 
Apple Care until January and I guess we'll see what happens. When I asked to 
have it unlocked the Telus guy at first said there would be a $35 fee. I just 
said "Oh, come on, you can surely wave that considering this phone is part of 
my Business Anywhere plan which includes my 2 business landlines, business ADSL 
and 3 iPhones". He just said "OK, I think we can do that" and went ahead and 
did it without fee. I assumed I had to restore the phone via iTunes for the 
unlock to take effect which is always what I heard had to be done, but he said 
that this was not necessary and there was absolutely nothing I had to do and 
that after he was done doing what he did the phone was unlocked.

given all that you point out, Sieghard, when I upgrade my iPhone 6, I'll simply 
go to a 6s  plus.  There's nothing about the 7 that is compelling.
