A couple of iPhone questions

[Simon Wong]

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well, I have a couple of iPhone questions 
which I hope somebody can answer, when you put a appointment or schedule 
something in your calendar, does it give you any notification or sound when 
it's time to remind you? When I tried to put something in my calendar, I got no 
sound or notification to let me know that there was something scheduled there. 
Also does anybody know if Chromecast can be used by people who are blind or 
visually impaired?

RE: A couple of iPhone questions

Hi,
Go into the Calendar settings.
You can set a default alert time.

Also, under the Sounds settings you can select a specific alert tone if the 
default tone isn't what you want.

HTH,
Richard

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well, I have a couple of iPhone questions 
which I hope somebody can answer, when you put a appointment or schedule 
something in your calendar, does it give you any notification or sound when 
it's time to remind you? When I tried to put something in my calendar, I got no 
sound or notification to let me know that there was something scheduled there. 
Also does anybody know if Chromecast can be used by people who are blind or

Re: A couple of iPhone questions

[GARY WILLIAMS]

In the calendar you can go and set alarms to notify you at a time such as two 
hours before the appointment. If you are getting siri to put appointments in 
the calendar, you still have to go back in the calendar and set up the alarms 
to remind you. Hope that helps.

Sonos app does not play downloaded apple music

Hello list
I have quite a lot of music which I downloaded from the apple music service but 
when I ask the sonos app to update my index it omits that music. Is this how it 
works or is there a way to include it? If so, its quite a pity because I can 
play that music via the apple extreme to my hifi but not to the sonos play3.

Force Restart, enter recovery, and DFU mode

['Ming' via VIPhone]

hi! all!
I found that if you wanna Force Restart, enter recovery, and DFU mode
and for someone  who are blind and visually impaired. they don't know that what 
happen or waht is the  status and don't know how or when to start the next step.
you can watch the following video  to know more:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a70jiFqMGX0
my suggestion is:
shall  we ask apple to make  the sounds to tell people  that: it time to do the 
next step.

or even have the turn on and turn off sounds as well?

best regards,

so, where are they stashing your previous app purchases in IOS now?

I just bought an app and tried to find the purchased ones on my hubby’s phone 
so he can use it also.  It was available for family sharing.  I can’t find the 
purchased items, though.  I’ve looked in the app store and in i tunes.  what am 
I missing?

Thanks!

Re: new blood glucose sensor

[Caitlyn Furness]

Hi,
I don’t know about the particular device your client is talking about, but I 
have an accessable solution.

I am also a type I diabetic, and am using the Dexcom g5 continuous glucose 
moniter to moniter my sugar levels.  there is a very small sensor which you put 
under your skin, and change weekly.  A transmitter snaps to the tip of the 
sensor and send the results to an app on the i phone.  The i phone app is 
totally accessable, and this company is wonderful to work with.  You can find 
the app on the app store by searching for “dexcom”.  You want the one for the 
g5.  the phone number for Dexcom is 1-844-832-1810 for sales and customre 
support.

HTH,
Caitlyn

Apple Watch VoiceOver gestures?

[Harry Bell]

I'm a long time user of VoiceOver on iPhone and Ipad. I now have an apple watch 
series 3 and am really struggling to activate e. g. The top left complication 
on the Siri watch face. I can locate the complication icon with my finger and 
VoiceOver reads out its name but double tapping does not work to activate it. 
I've tried having heart rate at top left or Breathe and for both double tapping 
just sends the focus elsewhere on the screen rather than activating heart rate 
or Breathe. Is there some special technique or is VoiceOver not working as well 
on the Watch as on iPhone? 
Thanks 
Harry

How do you force restart with an iPhone 6 under IOS 11?

you can watch the following video  to know more:

shall  we ask apple to make  the sounds to tell people  that: it time to do the

or even have the turn on and turn off sounds as well?

I don't have visual voice mail, either, and don't have any issues on my 6S 
Plus. When I double tap on the voice mail tab it used to directly dial 
in/connect, now there is a button on the screen that says "Call Voice Mail".
After I double tap it, I am connected to my voice mail system and from here on 
it's just like a phone call.
If I move the phone away from my ear it switches to speaker, if I have a voice 
mail I dial 1 to listen to it, I think it's 7 to delete it afterwards etc.
When I'm done I just do a two-finger double tap to hang up the call, I am now 
back still on the voice mail tab with the "Call Voice Mail" button on the 
screen and I can then go back to my Favourites, Recents, Contacts or Keypad tab.
If you see transcription of voice mail and something that looks like an Inbox 
with your messages/voice mails listed then you have visual voice mail and since 
I usually pick up my phone and maybe get a voice mail once a month I don't 
bother paying the $2/month extra which my current provider charges for visual 
voice mail.

Good afternoon everyone.
I have a friend who has a cell phone.  It isn't an iPhone.  Before the
update, to IOS 11 she could receive text messages from iPhones.  She is able
to receive messages from me but when a couple of her other friends text her
their message shows as blank.  These people are voice over users and running
the latest update as am I.  Does anyone have any thoughts?  Thank you.

RE: color identifier

[Chip Orange]

Hi Sandy,

 

I just tried CamFind on some clothes, and it frequently got the colors wrong.  
It would be nice to have pictures on the clothes identified, but if you take 
the trouble to spread the clothes on a flat surface before using Examine 
Clothes, I find it gets the colors much more accurately.

Comparing this app with CamFind I find canfind still is better! for example, if 
there is a crease in the fabric, this app  interprets that as stripes, whereas, 
camfind does not. camfined would also describe things such as, flowers, 
butterflies, and background colour, which is very useful and much more 
descriptive. however, camfind does need to use the web, not sure about this app 
though…

app. It further says that there is a “Use Picture” button to the right of that 
(at the bottom right) and a “retake” button to the left of 
Take Picture (at the bottom left of the screen).

The app only examines the picture and speaks the result after you tap the “Use 
Picture” button.

This is the same in the iDentifi app and for blind users I find it somewhat 
superfluous. It is OK for sighted users who can see what the picture you just 
took looks like and in case it is no good they can tap on retake, but for a 
blind user we have to tap on Use Picture anyways in order to hear if the result 
makes sense.

Having said all that I have done two tests and I am very impressed with the 
results, indeed better than what the Colorino would give since you have to hold 
it directly against the material so it would give you only what it sees in 
front of the dime-sized opening. You can put it in different places on the 
shirt or whatever you are trying to identify, but it would have a difficult 
time to say if it was two or three colours in a striped or checkered pattern.

Here is what I showed to the Examine Clothes app:

dark blue T-Shirt which it identified correctly as “Dark Blue, plain”.

A short-sleeved button-up shirt. The app said “light greybackground and dark 
grey and dull green checker”.

The word “checker” is misspelled as “ckecker”, but apart from that the colours 
were dead on, I asked my wife and she first said it’s a grey and green 
checkered shirt, when I asked about light and dark grey she said yes, it was 
mainly light grey with dark grey and green checkering.

I think I’ll contact the developer and point out the misspelling, sounds like 
he or she is japanese and you can tell in other areas where it is obvious the 
dev is not a native english speaker, but also I want to say Thanks and 
encourage them to maybe submit an update even if it just corrects some spelling 
mistakes, the app hasn’t been updated in a year and a half which means not 
update after iOS 10 came out.

For now this app is definitely a keeper and the first colour identifier which 
seems to work well although I guess it really is a clothes identifier, have not 
tried it on let’s say a wall or other things.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi

 

I’ve downloaded this app.

When I click on take picture my phone doesn’t speak anything back.

Why is it not telling me the color of my t-shire?

It just says re-take or use photo button.

Chrome Cast [was "Re: A couple of iPhone questions"]

[Christopher Chaltain]

I don't think I've used Chrome Cast on an iPhone, but it is accessible 
from Android, and I believe I've also used it from a browser, like 
Chrome. I don't see why it woudln't be accessible with an iPhone.



Basically, you buy a Chrome Cast device which you add to your wifi 
network and plug into the audio input of a device, such as to a home 
theater system with HDMI or powered external speakers with a 3MM jack. 
Now you find an app that supports Chrome Cast and double tap the cast 
button and choose your destination. Like I said, I do this all of the 
time from my Android smart phone.

upgrade instructions, please tell me if I'm missing anything!

[Paul Ferrara]

We’re upgrading phones Thursday; it’s my understanding I can do the following:

Back up both phones to iCloud, insuring all options that matter are turned on.
Get new phones and set up with that iCloud backup.
Erase other phones at some point, not sure when.
All apps, photos, mail, etc. will appear on new phones.
As for settings, what is that new iOS 11 feature that lets you import/move old 
settings to a new phone?
Am I missing any steps or have any out of order?

Thank you.

Apps and Folders

[Andy Baracco]

Suppose you accidentally moved an app into a folder, how would you get it out 
of that folder?

Re: Apps and Folders

Hi Andy,

While in the folder, you need to put focus on the app and then activate the 
editing mode. Which in the current version of iOS 11 means, double tap and 
holding the app to start the editing mode, then you flick up or down till you 
hear drag, and follow the normal procedure that you would use to move an app 
from one place to another.

But if I hit the home button to leave the folder that the app is in, that would 
close the editing session, wouldn't it?

Re: Apps and Folders

[Richard Turner]

the other way to close the folder is the two finger scrub gesture. That 
preserves the editing mode.

Mesh router thoughts

[Cristóbal]

Hello list,

Was looking for some feedback. I’m currently on the Spectrum 200 MB internet
plan with a Motorola Surfboard 6190 with a TP-Link Archer C-9 AC 1900
router. Both the modem and router are mine.

In general, my internet is fine, but I live in a 3400 square foot two story
house with a lot of connected devices. The usual, desktops, laptops, smart
TVs, iPads/iPhones, a few fire sticks Apple TVs, etc.

I’m noticing that in certain parts of the house, coverage isn’t as reliable
as I’d like it considering what I’m paying for and the equipment I’ve got. I
know having so many connected devices can play a roll, but there’s a second
master bedroom where a family member lives and the garage where I work out
for example where it’s an issue. The Ring Video Pro at times can drop as
well which is certainly annoying.

I’ve been thinking of getting set up with a mesh router and was curious to
know if others have a similar set up and whether they noticed any
significant improvement over all? I’ve already got one wifi range extender
downstairs and at this point, if I start to consider getting more for this
and that area, a $300 mesh router set up may be a reasonable alternative if
all the claims are true.

I’d have to imagine that on some level, mesh routers would work like a
traditional wifi router with the interface and whatnot, but again, I’d like
to know if the coverage hype is indeed warranted.

Thanks,
