Re: Problem with screen clutter while writing emails

[Kay Malmquist]

It's almost like the draft message is in the way of the screen and the voice 
over doesn't read the screen correctly. I don't really know how else to explain 
it but wondered if there were any other settings that I should actually look at 
to see what might be going wrong.

Hello Kay,

I have read your post several times yet am not certain that I understand your

The only thing I can suggest is that you delete the draft message that is most

Open the draft message or messages, as the case may be, then find the cancel 
button.  You will be prompted to confirm that you wish to delete the draft, 
then. All should appear as usual.  

Good Luck,

Hello,
I am using an iPhone 6 ass with iOS 9 something on it. It seems as though when 
I am writing emails, there is a lot of screen clutter. What I mean is I think 
the draft is getting in the way of things. When I shake to undo that doesn't 
seem to work and I have other issues while writing email. I have never had this 
problem before but wondered if anybody can shed any light on it. Thanks much.

Subject: RE: Problem with Outlook

Hello Terri,

As this is not a Microsoft support forum, our ability to assist you is 
limited.


What I can tell you is that if your copy of Outlook is pulling mail from a 
Google server, such as would be the case if you are using gMail, then it is 
very likely that your gMail account has been updated in order to increase 
your account security.  This means that by default, older versions of 
Outlook can no longer access the server unless you manually enable Google to 
allow for non-secure email clients.


To do this, simply google something like, “how to enable non-secure email 
clients for gMail”, and you will find the steps to accomplish this.


Also, I suggest that you join a support forum that is dedicated to your 
Windows 7 screen reader of choice.  They will most likely be able to help 
you in such matters.


Good Luck,

Mark

Subject: Problem with Outlook

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding Outlook, on my laptop. I realize I should ask 
this question somewhere else. But I honestly don't know where else to ask 
it. Plus, the issue does affect my iPhone at times, but is easily 
correctable.


I am still using windows 7. I use Thunderbyrd as my mail client. I wouldn't 
really know what else to use. Plus, I like it.


For quite a while now, I am asked to enter my password. I know the password 
well, so this is not an issue.
This problem can happen often, and usually over time, I can get it to work 
again.
But since late last night, I can't seem to straighten out the issue. Every 
time I enter my password, I get a message saying that the log inn has 
failed.
As you can see, I can use the Outlook App on my phone, just fine. So I am 
really at a loss as to what to do, anymore.
I can't send email from my laptop, and in most cases, I would prefer to do 
this.


Does anyone have any thoughts as to what could be going on?
If so, would you have any suggestions as to how to fix the issue, preferably 
for good?


Any help with this matter would be very much appreciated. I am beyond 
frustrated at this point.


Thank you,

Terri

Re: Wireless Charging, Anyone? It's a Chicken-and-egg Problem That Can Only Be Solved By a Fruit

[Christopher Chaltain]

I have a Samsung S7, and although I wouldn't buy a phone just for the 
wireless charging feature, I do find it convenient. I also assume the S7 
runs about the same as your latest iPhones.

Hi Sieghard,

Actually, I have an iPhone 7 and also the Belkin adapter that lets me listen 
with my wired earpods and charge at the same time. I have found that I don't do 
this quite as often as I used to but keeping up with the adapter and using it 
as needed isn't a problem for me. And I'd be willing to bet that you'll be 
paying considerably more than $40 in device cost to cover the wireless charging 
when it's added. But that rumored phone is also supposed to be about 5.8 inches 
in size with no home button so I'm pretty sure I won't be getting it.

Hi Alan,

You forget that the iPhone 7/7 Plus and most likely all iPhones going forward 
don't have a 3.5mm headphone jack. This means that if you want to use a wired 
headset you need to use the Lightning port hence you can't charge while using a 
headset or vice versa. Yes, I know you can spend $40 and buy this splitter 
gadget from Belkin, but who wants to do that and have another piece of cable to 
bring along or more clutter.

Unfortunately there are already rumours which indicate that Apple may release a 
new high-end model this year with a 5.8 inch OLED screen and that this year 
only this huge super phone will get the wireless charging. I really hope this 
is not so, if it is I think I'll stick with my 6S Plus for another year because 
if wireless charging comes only to a high-end and high-priced iPhone this year 
it will certainly come to the other phones next year. I would totally go back 
to a 4.7 inch phone if battery life was better or if the phone was constantly 
being charged wirelessly when I'm at home or at my office.

Regards,
Sieghard

Mark,

Thanks for the info. I guess I'm more old school because finding access to an 
outlet or USB port to charge my iPhone really doesn't seem to be that big of a 
deal. And if I'm on the move, carrying a small external battery power source 
isn't much of a hassle either. But I've no doubt that wireless charging is 
inevitable and I hope after reading the below history and its complexities that 
the eventual convenience of wireless charging is worth its cost.

A World Free of Charging Cables?  It's All Up To Apple By Roger Cheng/CNET

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge features wireless charging, and successor the S8 
will likely have the same capability.

The pitch has always been a simple one: Place your phone down and watch it 
charge automatically, without the fuss of finding an outlet or connecting a 
power cord.

The reality of wireless charging, however, has been anything but.

Differing technologies and incompatible standards have hindered broader 
adoption of wireless charging. It was good enough to work in Oral-B electric 
toothbrushes in the early '90s, yet most phones still lack the ability to 
charge without a power cord.

But 2017 appears to be the year wireless charging gets its act together.
You're starting to see an accelerating trickle of products incorporating the 
feature, from a Dell laptop unveiled at CES to automakers looking for a way to 
more easily power their electric vehicles. The most obvious spark could come 
from Apple, which appears ready to get off the sidelines and commit to the 
feature in a big way by joining the Wireless Power Consortium. The rumors of 
the iPhone 8 getting wireless charging alone are enough to get people thinking 
about the feature.

"Whoever Apple picks wins," said Avi Greengart, an analyst at research firm Global Data. 
"That's the catalyst that would drive enough volume."

Apple declined to comment on how the WPC will impact the next iPhone.

"Apple is an active member of many standards development organizations, as both a leader and 
contributor," 

RE: Arranging Favorites in Phone App

As Richard says, time to upgrade. The bug about not being able to rearrange 
favourites was I think first mentioned by Mark Taylor and was fixed in 10.2. 
There is no reason why you should stay on 10.1, update to the latest public 
version or wait a few weeks and go straight to 10.3. If you read a lot of email 
on your iPhoe upgrading to 10.2 is a bit annoying because Voiceover does not 
automatically start reading at the beginning of the message body when you open 
an email, instead you have to either swipe through the header or touch 
somewhere in the middle to try and find the beginning of a message. That's why 
I said you might want to wait a few weeks since I'm sure iOS 10.3 public 
release is no more than 3 or 4 weeks away.

Sieghard

adding a favorite

[Paul and Paula Jordan]

Hi all.  I'm trying to add a favorite from my contacts to my favorites list
and not having any luck.  I remember having this problem sometime back but
can't remember the steps.  I have tried going to the contact and flicking
right to add favorite and double tapping that. I hear add to favorites but
after I double tap nothing seems to happen.  I just see a cancel button.  I
can't seem to get back to favorites to touch the add button.  

I've also tried going from favorites then back to contacts.  I'm sure I'm
missing something simple, but I can't seem to make it happen no matter what
I try.  Thanks for any help.

God bless!

Re: adding a favorite

[Jennie Facer]

Hi Paula,
Try touching the middle of the screen after you touch add to favorites. You are 
on the right track. It is supposed to ask you if you want to add a voice call 
or a FaceTime call. I hope you can figure this out.

RE: Problem with Outlook

[Gary Ketler]

I have a similar issue also, It effects my iPhone also. I can enter my password 
on my phone and get mail. The only I can get my computer to start getting mail 
again is to reboot. No one I have spoken to about this has a clue on how to fix 
it.

Subject: Problem with Outlook

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding Outlook, on my laptop. I realize I should ask this 
question somewhere else. But I honestly don't know where else to ask it. Plus, 
the issue does affect my iPhone at times, but is easily correctable.

I am still using windows 7. I use Thunderbyrd as my mail client. I wouldn't 
really know what else to use. Plus, I like it.

For quite a while now, I am asked to enter my password. I know the password 
well, so this is not an issue.
This problem can happen often, and usually over time, I can get it to work 
again.
But since late last night, I can't seem to straighten out the issue. Every time 
I enter my password, I get a message saying that the log inn has failed.
As you can see, I can use the Outlook App on my phone, just fine. So I am 
really at a loss as to what to do, anymore.
I can't send email from my laptop, and in most cases, I would prefer to do this.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what could be going on?
If so, would you have any suggestions as to how to fix the issue, preferably 
for good?

Any help with this matter would be very much appreciated. I am beyond 
frustrated at this point.

Thank you,

Terri

RE: Airpod question.

[M. Taylor]

Hello Sieghard,

First, I wrote in a previous post, that I believe these things are a matter of 
personal opinion.

Second, I do not own an Apple Watch so cannot comment as to its compatibility 
with Airpods.

Third, it is my opinion that one should refrain from commenting on how good or 
bad something is until or unless one has actually tried the device for 
himself/herself. (smile)

Fourth, If memory serves, I believe I was the first, or one of the first, to 
recommend the Voyager Edge, on this list, so I know how wonderful it is.  
Personally, I disabled the auto-answer feature on my Edge as I found it not 
nearly as accurate as I would have expected.  

Finally, I will say, once again, it's all a matter of perspective.

Mark

I agree with respect to comfort and sound quality, but until they add a volume 
control they aren't getting my money. Also, Mark, what about the apparently 
terrible switching or not switching if you have an iPhone and an Apple Watch? 
My Voyager Edge also pauses playback when I take it out of my ear and when 
paired to my iPhone and Apple Watch it does seamlessly switch, if I listen to a 
book and my Apple Watch plays an alert or I press the crown to hear the time it 
instantly can be heard on my Voyager Edge and afterwards it almost instantly 
switches back to the iPhone audio. From all I heard this does not work nearly 
that well with Airpods when of course it should work at least as good or even 
better. Also, if the Voyager Edge and many other bluetooth earpieces support 
answering a phone call simply by saying "Answer" or send it to voice mail if I 
say "Decline" why don't the Airpods do something so basic and useful?

Regards,
Sieghard

Hello Everyone,

As with many things in life, it's all a matter of opinion.  

I can tell you that of all the 20+ Bluetooth headsets I've owned throughout the 
years, Apple Airpods are my absolute, without a doubt, favorite.  

I am amazed with how seamlessly they interface with iPhone.  I absolutely love 
the fact that I can effortlessly switch from a single-ear to two-ear and back 
to a single-ear configuration, on the fly.  

The auto-ear detection is as close to magic as I've yet experienced on a 
Smartphone.

If I am playing a song or listening to a book/podcast with Airpods, all I need 
do is to remove the Airpod from my ear and playback will pause and not resume 
until I place the Airpod back in my ear.  Amazing!

My favorite feature of Airpods, however, is how beautifully VoiceOver switches 
between Airpods and iPhone.  

With iPhone in my breast pocket, for example, and an alert comes in, that I 
want to explore privately, I simply place an Airpod in my ear and sound 
automatically transfers from the phone to my ear; when I'm done, I simply drop 
the Airpod back into either its case or a pocket, and sound automatically 
reverts back to iPhone.

This may be difficult to believe but last night, I panicked when I could not 
find one of my Airpods only to have a sighted friend inform me that it was in 
my left ear.  I know, I couldn't believe it either.  Talk about being 
embarrassed; but they really are that comfortable. smile)

Mind you, I am using Airpods with iPhone 6 Plus, only, so I can only imagine 
how much better they perform with newer iPhone models.

I think Airpods are well worth their price and that Apple, once again, has 
ushered in a new era of technology with this most innovative accessory.

Mark

Hi Eric,

Good choice, I think the current Airpods are quite a rip-off and in fact I was 
at an Apple Store today to buy a headset for my wife as an anniversary present 
and I was looking forward to checking out the Beats Solo and walked away deeply 
disappointed. I am in Canada so the Beats Solo here is $329.95 + taxes and 
while they sounded OK I could simply not believe such a large and, according to 
Apple, advanced headset has no volume control. First the Airpods have no volume 
control and now the Beats Solo also has no volume control, if this is the 
wireless future Apple invisions they need glasses. I ended up getting her a 
pair of the new BeatsX since she prefers earbud style headsets anyways over big 
clunky ones. As for the Solo I can only say that in addition to the lack of a 
volume control the sound is also just OK, I mean it's good but not special for 
the pri

RE: Airpod question.

Hello Jenifer,

I am delighted that you are enjoying your Airpods.

Yes, they are, indeed, wonderful.

As for me, they have completely changed my perspective on Bluetooth headset 
technology.

I own a Voyager Edge but since purchasing my Airpods, I haven't used it, once.

With iPhone in my breast pocket, for example, and an alert comes in, that I 
want to explore privately, I simply place an Airpod in my ear and sound 
automatically transfers from the phone to my ear; when I'm done, I simply drop 
the Airpod back into either its case or a pocket, and sound automatically 
reverts back to iPhone.

This may be difficult to believe but last night, I panicked when I could not 
find one of my Airpods only to have a sighted friend inform me that it was in 
my left ear.  I know, I couldn't believe it either.  Talk about being 
embarrassed; but they really are that

Is the sound superior any better than the wired ones?

I just want to say that thanks to this list, I did not update my Drop Box app

I received a response from Dropbox saying they are aware of the issue

Re: Problem with Outlook

[Terri Stimmel]

Hi Gary, and list,


Well I am glad to know I am not the only 1 this is happening to. It is 
very annoying!

Like I said, for me it doesn't happen on my phone. I am quite glad about 
this, because I would certainly, likely, go crazy! LOL!

But even if I reboot my computer, it doesn't fix the problem for me. I 
can re-start it, or completely shut it down. Just doesn't make a difference.

Today is ok, but I better be careful saying that.


Thank you,


Terri

I guess I didn't follow your original post. I thought I read you were having 
trouble getting mail on your laptop using Thunderbird so I missed how Outlook 
enters the picture and is the subject of this thread.

Questions regarding Sling TV, and Apple TV

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I heard that you could put Sling TV on your Apple TV.

What would be the reason for doing this?

Does it make Sling TV more accessible?


I had a Sling TV trial a while back. I really didn't like it, because I 
didn't find it to be all that accessible.

But I am hoping maybe that has changed. I do wish they offered more 
channels.


Oh and I feel like a dork! I obviously had it on my Apple TV. How else 
would I have even been able to use it?

Ok, all of you can ignore my first question. I am blaming it on the 
headache I currently have. LOL!


Thank you,


Terri

RE: Problem with screen clutter while writing emails

[Sieghard Weitzel]

There is no preview pane on the iPhone, there is in Outlook on the PC but not 
with the native mail app. If there is a draft in the way why not either send it 
or delete it?

 music  listening, then  the other. This  person in particular said they 
 cycled through seven  different headphones for all sorts of scenarios. 
 Their summary  of the airpods and why they chose to use other  headphones 
 is that the airpods basically don't  feel  like a fully baked product yet. 
 That's more or less the feeling I get from everything I've read about them 
 and why I haven't taken the plunge and bought them.
 I  have multiple headphones that I  switch  out. Voyager  Edge for making

 some leasurely audiobook  or podcast  listening  or  while working  out

 I know lots  of people don't have the budget  to buy all sorts  of

 I agree with respect to comfort and sound quality, but until they add a 
 volume control they aren't getting my money. Also, Mark, what about the 
 apparently terrible switching or not switching if you have an iPhone and 
 an Apple Watch? My Voyager Edge also pauses playback when I take it out of 
 my ear and when paired to my iPhone and Apple Watch it does seamlessly 
 switch, if I listen to a book and my Apple Watch plays an alert or I press 
 the crown to hear the time it instantly can be heard on my Voyager Edge 
 and afterwards it almost instantly switches back to the iPhone audio. From 
 all I heard this does not work nearly that well with Airpods when of 
 course it should work at least as good or even better. Also, if the 
 Voyager Edge and many other bluetooth earpieces support answering a phone 
 call simply by saying "Answer" or send it to voice mail if I say "Decline" 
 why don't the Airpods do something so basic and useful?

Re: Problem with Outlook

[Terri Stimmel]

Hi Alan,


Well I have an Outlook account, and I access it, by using the 
Thunderbyrd mail client. I don't have Microsoft Office, 365, or anything 
like that.


I did try re-installing Thunderbyrd, wondering if that would make a 
difference. But it did not.

Every time I run in to this issue, I assume it is an Outlook issue. I am 
told that Outlook needs my password, when I am trying to send mail. 
Sometimes, it happens over, and over again. It can really drive a person 
crazy, after a while!


I hope this helps.


Terri

RE: Wireless Charging, Anyone? It's a Chicken-and-egg Problem That Can Only Be Solved By a Fruit

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Alan,

If Apple goes the way of wireless charging they may charge a premium for the 
first year if they add it only to a high-end iPhone. However, once it comes to 
all the phones the price should be the same just as over time the higher 
capacity phones always cost the same as a few years before those who had half 
the amount of storage space.

Sieghard

I have a Samsung S7, and although I wouldn't buy a phone just for the wireless

[Laury-Johnson, Shawnese (LARA)]

Apple vis has a pod cast about sling on the apple tv. You should check it out. 
From what I understand you are able to operate sling this way.

Subject: Questions regarding Sling TV, and Apple TV

Hello everyone,


I heard that you could put Sling TV on your Apple TV.

What would be the reason for doing this?

Does it make Sling TV more accessible?


I had a Sling TV trial a while back. I really didn't like it, because I didn't 
find it to be all that accessible.

But I am hoping maybe that has changed. I do wish they offered more channels.


Oh and I feel like a dork! I obviously had it on my Apple TV. How else 
would I have even been able to use it?

Ok, all of you can ignore my first question. I am blaming it on the 
headache I currently have. LOL!


Thank you,


Terri

Re: update on the Dropbox issue

[Caitlyn Furness]

I was having trouble with the latest update to dropbox.

I restarted my phone and everything is fine now.  So, you guys might want to 
try this trick if you haven’t already done it.  Works wonders sometimes! :)

Re: update on the Dropbox issue

[Richard Turner]

That did not help for me with version 36.2.
If you left it on recents, it works. But if you switch to files, it blows up. 
At least for me and others.
They say they are aware now of the bug and are working on a fix.

Re: Questions regarding Sling TV, and Apple TV

[Kliphton Miller]

Like you I tried the free trial.  It was fine for what it was, but to me direct 
tv now is more stable.  Plus some peoples complaints are that the channels 
weren’t read, well now they are in direct TV now, plus direct TV now offers 
channels sling tv does not.  Even though they offer more channels in a 10 
dollar add on.  I may try it, but I doubt I will leave direct TV now, they 
respond quickly with there customer service, and are working hard to get DVR 
service, something I care nothing about, and the 72 hour rewind option is 
getting better.  Plus you can add things to the watch list witch is cool.

I have heard nothing but great success with DirecTV now. I would recommend that 
service to anyone! Absolutely. I have talked with them about accessibility 
issues, and they have taken everything I had to say into consideration. I love

Hi Alan,


Well I have an Outlook account, and I access it, by using the Thunderbyrd mail 
client. I don't have Microsoft Office, 365, or anything like that.


I did try re-installing Thunderbyrd, wondering if that would make a difference. 
But it did not.

Every time I run in to this issue, I assume it is an Outlook issue. I am told 
that Outlook needs my password, when I am trying to send mail. 
Sometimes, it happens over, and over again. It can really drive a person crazy, 
after a while!


I hope this helps.

RE: update on the Dropbox issue

[Alan Lemly]

I'm with Richard on this. That was the first thing I tried with version 36.2 
and it did not help the issue. If you're using Voiceover and Dropbox version 
36.2, double tapping on the Files button will clear the screen and return you 
to your home page after the first swipe or two.

That did not help for me with version 36.2.

If you left it on recents, it works. But if you switch to files, it blows up. 
At least for me and others.

They say they are aware now of the bug and are working on a fix.

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Richard Turner]

It really depends on what you are looking for.
If you are happy with the way Blind Square tells you about upcoming streets, 
etc., then I would stick with using Blind Square and Google or Apple Maps.
You get the street names being announced by Blind Square, and the turn-by-turn 
directions from either Google or Apple.
Both Nearby Explorer and Seeing Eye GPS announce streets you are approaching, 
granted they use a slightly different method for that, so you could replace the 
use of Blind Square with one of those which also then gives you turn-by-turn 
directions.
Frankly, I have not done a thorough comparison of Nearby and Seeing Eye, due to 
lack of time.
It would be nice if someone would do a side-by-side comparison.
It would appear that Seeing Eye is having a sale during CSUN this week, so you 
may want to check it out. I think they are lowering the one-year subscription 
price to $39.99, from $69.99 for a short time.
The full XT version of Seeing Eye is $299.99.
But, no subscription renewal to deal with that way.
Nearby is a one time $79.99 price.
I hope that helps a little,
Richard

Re: automatic app updates?

I did not know that free apps didn't update automatically, but then again, I do 
not use automatic updates.
Case in point, Dropbox seriously broke their app with the last update.
Fortunately, I had not synced my phone with my computer and was able to delete 
the broken Dropbox and get an earlier version off my computer.
Perhaps someone who uses automatic updates can address your issue more directly.

 I agree with respect to comfort and sound quality, but until they add a 
 volume control they aren't getting my money. Also, Mark, what about the 
 apparently terrible switching or not switching if you have an iPhone and 
 an Apple Watch? My Voyager Edge also pauses playback when I take it out of 
 my ear and when paired to my iPhone and Apple Watch it does seamlessly 
 switch, if I listen to a book and my Apple Watch plays an alert or I press 
 the crown to hear the time it instantly can be heard on my Voyager Edge 
 and afterwards it almost instantly switches back to the iPhone audio. From 
 all I heard this does not work nearly that well with Airpods when of 
 course it should work at least as good or even better. Also, if the 
 Voyager Edge and many other bluetooth earpieces support answering a phone 
 call simply by saying "Answer" or send it to voice mail if I say "Decline" 
 why don't the Airpods do something so basic and useful?

RE: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Another difference between Seeing Eye and Nearby Explorer is that you need a 
data connection for Seeing Eye because it downloads the maps you’re using.  
Nearby Explorer stores all the maps on the iPhone, and this takes up 4 gigs of 
storage.

Hope this is helpful.

Have a blessed day and don’t work too hard.

This is happening while I'm writing the email. Is there anyway to send or

get the draft out-of-the-way but can't figure out how. Even if I minimize the

Double tap on the draft, then double tap on cancel at the top and it will ask 
you if you want to keep the draft or delete it.

RE: Airpod question.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Yes, you can use the volume buttons on the phone or you can tap the Airpod and 
when SIRI comes up you can ask SIRI to lower the volume (or increase it) or you 
can say something like "Set the volume to 55%".
Mark, in case you still read this thread, I did actually try out the Airpods at 
an Apple Store and I took some time to do so.
I am totally with you with respect to how they feel and sound, I think they are 
a bit overpriced, but I'd fork out the $220 Canadian instantly if they had a 
volume control, offered Play/Pause functionality as well as a way to invoke 
SIRI. Yes, I know you can just get SIRI going and tell SIRI to Play or Pause or 
to change the volume, but there are situations where I may not want to talk 
into thin air in front of me to do this and for me these are basic functions I 
am looking for and it just doesn't make sense to me to push these Airpods as if 
they were the reinvention of the wheel and then I have to pull out my phone if 
I want to do something as simple as change the volume or pause my book or music 
without being forced to remove the Airpod from my ear. I think they are totally 
cool, but for me they just are not ready for prime time. I know you live in LA 
where it's mostly warm, but up here where I am wearing a fair bit of clothing 
for 6 months out of the year and my phone is usually in my hip holster under a 
layer or two being able to do such basic things on the headset is nice.

Sieghard

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Kelly Pierce]

Keith,

without knowing more about you and your personal situation, it is
difficult to say one product is better for you than the other.  Blind
end users have produced extensive demonstrations of both products and
I would strongly suggest giving these a listen.  I live in Chicago in
one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in America.
Multi-story buildings are right up against the sidewalk.  GPS aps that
require a continual data connection do not seem as accurate in this
environment as Nearby Explorer that does not use a data connection for
maps.

Good News, A T & T Wireless Now Offering Mobile Tethering with Unlimited Plan

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

Well, as I suspected, A T & T Wireless caves on the mobile tethering issue.


Below my signature, I will paste in the text of the new announcement beneath
which you will find the URL to the original article.

Mobile Data Price-War Continues As AT&T Announces A $60 Unlimited Deal -
With Catches, Of Course

UPDATE: T-Mobile has also announced another new promotion today for their
unlimited T-Mobile ONE plan. Starting March 1st, new and existing customers
who have 2 lines on the T-Mobile ONE plan can receive a 3rd line for free.
This deal comes out to be $100 for 3 unlimited lines and includes taxes and
fees. Check out all the details on T-Mobile's website.]

If you're looking for a new 'unlimited' mobile data plan, the competition
between carriers continues to offer cheaper deals. All four major carriers
have announced new or revised tariffs this month, Verizon kicking things
off, followed by T-Mobile dropping restrictions, Sprint doing the same and
AT&T finally opening up its 'unlimited' plan to all.

Today AT&T has gone one better, announcing a new 'unlimited' plan for just
$60 a month. There are, of course, catches .

The Unlimited Choice plan is limited to a maximum speed of 3Mbps,
standard-definition video and no tethering allowed. As with other services,
bandwidth is also throttled when you hit the limit on your 'unlimited'
service, in this case at 22GB/month.

A higher-tier option, Unlimited Plus, costs $90/month to add HD video and
10Gb/month of tethering -and there are additional options with DiretTV
bundled. $100/month gets you Unlimited Plus with DirecTV Now, while $115
also gives you DirecTV home satellite service.

As before, if you have a DirecTV subscription, usage of the app won't count
against your data usage.

Military/veteran discounts apply on top, but there's bad news for anyone who
gets an AT&T Signature FAN discount through their employer or elsewhere:
this discount does not apply to any of the new plans

Re: Good News, A T & T Wireless Now Offering Mobile Tethering with Unlimited Plan

[Gordon]

Wow! 3 MB! that's slower than the 8 you get with Cricket on the same 
network for $70 which includes taxes. You would end up paying that for 
this At&t plan and they are both unlimited.

Hello Everyone,

Well, as I suspected, A T & T Wireless caves on the mobile tethering issue.


Below my signature, I will paste in the text of the new announcement beneath
which you will find the URL to the original article.

Mobile Data Price-War Continues As AT&T Announces A $60 Unlimited Deal -
With Catches, Of Course

UPDATE: T-Mobile has also announced another new promotion today for their
unlimited T-Mobile ONE plan. Starting March 1st, new and existing customers
who have 2 lines on the T-Mobile ONE plan can receive a 3rd line for free.
This deal comes out to be $100 for 3 unlimited lines and includes taxes and
fees. Check out all the details on T-Mobile's website.]

If you're looking for a new 'unlimited' mobile data plan, the competition
between carriers continues to offer cheaper deals. All four major carriers
have announced new or revised tariffs this month, Verizon kicking things
off, followed by T-Mobile dropping restrictions, Sprint doing the same and
AT&T finally opening up its 'unlimited' plan to all.

Today AT&T has gone one better, announcing a new 'unlimited' plan for just
$60 a month. There are, of course, catches .

The Unlimited Choice plan is limited to a maximum speed of 3Mbps,
standard-definition video and no tethering allowed. As with other services,
bandwidth is also throttled when you hit the limit on your 'unlimited'
service, in this case at 22GB/month.

A higher-tier option, Unlimited Plus, costs $90/month to add HD video and
10Gb/month of tethering -and there are additional options with DiretTV
bundled. $100/month gets you Unlimited Plus with DirecTV Now, while $115
also gives you DirecTV home satellite service.

As before, if you have a DirecTV subscription, usage of the app won't count
against your data usage.

Military/veteran discounts apply on top, but there's bad news for anyone who
gets an AT&T Signature FAN discount through their employer or elsewhere:
this discount does not apply to any of the new plans

Re: How do Nearby Explorer and Sendaro Seeing GPS compare?

[Richard Turner]

Thanks, I forgot to mention the fact that Nearby Explorer downloads the maps 
onto your phone.
That is a huge difference that I completely spaced.
That is a good advantage in case you travel through an area that doesn't have 
decent cell coverage. You just need to be able to use a few satellites, which 
is easier than you would think.
Navigon is another GPS app that stores the maps on the phone, but Nearby 
Explorer has been designed for visually impaired, so it gives you more 
information. than Navigon.

RE: New Apple ID

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Mike,

It’s definitely better if you create a separate Apple Id for her because if you 
log in with the same Apple Id on both devices you may both get each other’s 
iMessages and Facetime calls. Also, if you are subscribing to Apple Music or 
may do so in the future you could sign up for a family plan for $14.99 a months 
(only $5 more than an individual plan) and if you each have your Apple Id’s you 
get individual music recommendations etc. If you want you could use the same 
Apple Id for the app store and iTunes and this way your wife would have access 
to everything you ever bought in terms of apps or music, but if you add her as 
a family member she would also have access to most apps as most of them allow 
for family sharing so if the main family member/organiser buys the app 
everybody else who is in the family group has access to the app as well.
If you are having problems setting up her Apple Id on the iPhone, you may want 
to try on the computer and go to http://appleid.apple.com

Sieghard

BeatsX Earbuds

[Esther Levegnale]

Hi, All,

I received my BeatsX earbuds which has a wire between the two earpieces, but 
I'm rather disappointed in them.  There seems to be no bass at all when 
listening to music.  I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience 
and would like to know their thoughts.  I did, however, receive my AirPods 
today, as I said in an earlier post, and absolutely love them!

Anyway, I would love to hear anyone's thoughts about the BeatsX if they have 
them.

Thanks.

RE: New Apple ID

[Cristóbal]

I’m the organizer with my mother and sister as family members. My wife’s always 
used my ID  for apps and whatnot, but is signed into  Facetime, iMessages and 
whatever other services with her own Apple ID on  herAir II and iPhone SE. Not 
a concious decision per say, but that’s how we started back when we got her 
iPad II before family sharing became a thing and have just left it since  it 
hasn’t made much sense to change it.

sharing apps that 1 or the other won't be using etc.  We won't be 
downloading music, & anything like that, but what she mainly needs is to get 
an ID / account started so we can back-up her iPhone.  Backing up her phone 
is our main goal for now, & once we learn more about using other functions / 
tools of the device, then we'll expand on how we use the devices.  We are 
very new to the smart phones, & we need to master the basics first.  Thanks

RE: BeatsX Earbuds

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I bought a pair for my wife and I did try them at the Apple Store. At first I 
was not impressed with the fit, but the Apple guy then put on the little wings 
and that worked better. I am not used to or a big fan of earbuds which you have 
to push deeply into your ear but that is how these work and if they are 
properly in I thought they sounded quite good and I had not complaint about the 
base. I do, however, understand that traditionally Beats headsets were very 
heavy on the base and these are not so I'm sure it's a matter of personal 
preference.

Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: BeatsX Earbuds

Hi, All,

I received my BeatsX earbuds which has a wire between the two earpieces, but 
I'm rather disappointed in them.  There seems to be no bass at all when 
listening to music.  I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience 
and would like to know their thoughts.  I did, however, receive my AirPods 
today, as I said in an earlier post, and absolutely love them!

Anyway, I would love to hear anyone's thoughts about the BeatsX if they have 
them.

Thanks.

Re: New Apple ID

Hi Sieghard,

Using the link you posted in your 1st reply I was able to get my wife's 
account / ID created!  I don't remember it being that that much of a pain in 
the a** when I created mine!  LOL  Thank you very much for all your help.

As new users I think it is definitely best to start out with individual 
Apple Id’s, then you can decide later on if you want to use the same Apple 
Id for some things or not.

We would like for my wife to have her own account mainly because she uses 
her SE iPhone for totally different things than I do.  We don't need to be 
sharing apps that 1 or the other won't be using etc.  We won't be 
downloading music, & anything like that, but what she mainly needs is to get 
an ID / account started so we can back-up her iPhone.  Backing up her phone 
is our main goal for now, & once we learn more about using other functions / 
tools of the device, then we'll expand on how we use the devices.  We are 
very new to the smart phones, & we need to master the basics first.  Thanks 
much.

Hi Mike,



It’s definitely better if you create a separate Apple Id for her because if 
you log in with the same Apple Id on both devices you may both get each 
other’s iMessages and Facetime calls. Also, if you are subscribing to Apple 
Music or may do so in the future you could sign up for a family plan for 
$14.99 a months (only $5 more than an individual plan) and if you each have 
your Apple Id’s you get individual music recommendations etc. If you want 
you could use the same Apple Id for the app store and iTunes and this way 
your wife would have access to everything you ever bought in terms of apps 
or music, but if you add her as a family member she would also have access 
to most apps as most of them allow for family sharing so if the main family 
member/organiser buys the app everybody else who is in the family group has 
access to the app as well.

If you are having problems setting up her Apple Id on the iPhone, you may 
want to try on the computer and go to http://appleid.apple.com



Regards,

Sieghard

I was trying to create a new Apple ID for my wife, on her SE model iPhone 
with iOS 9.33.
I put in all the info email address, password, ID verification questions /

put in, I didn't get a, Done button, or anything.  I just had that message
that states Apple uses incription blah blah, but I was not given any options
to continue any further.

Being that we are on the same Verizon account, would I put my Apple ID /

help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks much.
Take care.

Re: automatic app updates?

Hi,
Settings, iTunes app store, and turn on updates.

From: Richard Turner I did not know that free apps didn't update automatically, but 
then again, I do not use automatic updates.
Case in point, Dropbox seriously broke their app with the last

Fortunately, I had not synced my phone with my computer and was 
able to delete the broken Dropbox and get an earlier version off

Perhaps someone who uses automatic updates can address your issue

DirecTV Now on AppleTV

[Brandon Olivares]

I just signed up for a trial of DirecTV Now. It seems pretty accessible so far.

I figured out mostly how to use the guide. But I have a few minor issues I'm 
having. Is there a tutorial or something out there for how to use it with 
voiceover?

Here are the issues I'm having:

1. On a channel, I noticed you can flick right to see what's currently playing. 
If you flick right again, its peaks another show name. I'm not sure what this 
signifies. Is it what's on next? Or something else?

2. How do you add something to your watch list? I haven't been able to figure 
this one out yet.

3. Any other tips I might be missing?

Thanks,
Brandon

RE: Airpod question.

[M. Taylor]

+1 to you Sieghard, my friend.

You make an excellent point about how one's environment, such as ambient 
temperature, influences how one uses her/his devices.  

I definitely take the warm climate, down here in Los Angeles, for granted 
(smile).  I almost never wear more than a light jacket on top of a thin shirt 
so my iPhone is easily accessible as I generally cary it in my breast pocket.

Your point is well put and well taken.

Perhaps the next generation of Airpods will have more physical controls along 
with a global software equalizer and maybe, just maybe, a variety of color 
options from which to choose.

With a Smile,

Mark

Yes, you can use the volume buttons on the phone or you can tap the Airpod and 
when SIRI comes up you can ask SIRI to lower the volume (or increase it) or you 
can say something like "Set the volume to 55%".
Mark, in case you still read this thread, I did actually try out the Airpods at 
an Apple Store and I took some time to do so.
I am totally with you with respect to how they feel and sound, I think they are 
a bit overpriced, but I'd fork out the $220 Canadian instantly if they had a 
volume control, offered Play/Pause functionality as well as a way to invoke 
SIRI. Yes, I know you can just get SIRI going and tell SIRI to Play or Pause or 
to change the volume, but there are situations where I may not want to talk 
into thin air in front of me to do this and for me these are basic functions I 
am looking for and it just doesn't make sense to me to push these Airpods as if 
they were the reinvention of the wheel and then I have to pull out my phone if 
I want to do something as simple as change the volume or pause my book or music 
without being forced to remove the Airpod from my ear. I think they are totally 
cool, but for me they just are not ready for prime time. I know you live in LA 
where it's mostly warm, but up here where I am wearing a fair bit of clothing 
for 6 months out of the year and my phone is usually in my hip holster under a 
layer or two being able to do such basic things on the headset is nice.

Sieghard
