Hi Jewel,

While I just posted a message criticising SIRI as well I must say that it is 
not SIRI's fault if it can't properly connect to the internet. Have you 
rebooted your router to see if that helps?
Also, the only way to use Google and SIRI is to have the Google app installed 
and set up to accept "OK Google" as a command to bring up the Google Assistant 
and then to use SIRI to say "hey SIRI, open Google". Then once the Google app 
is open you can say "OK Google" followed by your question.

Regards,
Sieghard

Oh!  if it were only that simple.
Ever since I updated to IOS11.3 I have had problems with Siri.  I wake him up 
and ask my question. 
There is a complete silence and then, he will say:  "I am having trouble making 
a wi-fi connection. 
Try again in a moment or two!" which I do;  sometimes, it has the desired 
effect, sometimes not!
Is there a setting which I should adjust?
As an alternative to Siri, I used to be able to bring up "Google assist" and 
"OK Google" but, I cannot do that any longer.  I assume that they are still 
available and is, simply, that I have forgotten how I did it!

Plan ahead
Siri on HomePod can help you check the weather, find places to go, and check 
traffic so you can get to where you're going on time.

Check the weather
Want to know if you should wear a coat or bring an umbrella? Just ask Siri.
Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
. "What's the temperature outside?"
. "Do I need an umbrella today?"
. "How's the weather tomorrow?"

Find places
Want to try a new restaurant? Or want to know what time the grocery store 
closes? Just ask Siri. Say "Hey Siri," then you can ask things like:
. "Where's a great place to eat Mexican food?"
. "What time does the Apple Store close?"
. "Where's the closest gas station?"


Check traffic
Whether you're on your way to work or just want to know how long it takes to 
get somewhere, Siri can help. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
. "What's the traffic like getting to work?"
. "How long does it take to drive to San Antonio?"

Stay up to date
Catch up on current events, sports, stocks, and more with Siri.

Get the latest news
You can get news briefs from the top news sources in the world. Say "Hey Siri," 
then say something like:
. "What's the news today?"
. "Give me the latest sports news."
Want to switch to a different news source? Say something like, "Hey Siri, 
switch to NPR instead."

Catch up on sports
Want to know who won between the Cavs and the Warriors? Or when the Panthers 
play next? Siri knows. Say "Hey Siri," then you can say things like:
. "What teams are playing in the World Cup?"
. "Did the Spurs win last night?"
. "How many completions did Joe Montana have?"


Check stocks
Stay up to date on the stock market, prices, news, and more with Siri. Say "Hey 
Siri," then say something like:
. "How's the stock market doing today?"
. "What's the market capitalization of Apple?"
. "Where's the NASDAQ today?"

More ways to use Siri on HomePod
Siri on HomePod is great at answering questions about the things you want to 
know and do in your home. Here's what you can do.

Cook with Siri
Need a little help in the kitchen? Siri can help you measure ingredients, set a 
timer, and even help you count calories. Say "Hey Siri," then you can say 
things like:
. "How many cups are in a quart?"
. "Set a timer for 45 minutes."
. "Pause the timer."
. "How much time is left on the timer?"
. "How many calories are in an ounce of cheddar cheese?"

Be on time
Need to wake up early to catch a flight? Or want to check the time in another 
city? Siri can help. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
. "What time is it in Berlin?"
. "When is daylight saving time?"
. "Wake me up tomorrow at 6:00 a.m."
. "Change my 6:00 a.m alarm to 6:30 a.m."
When the alarm goes off, you can say "Hey Siri, snooze" or "Hey Siri, stop."


Ask Siri to translate
You can ask Siri in English how to say something in Mandarin, Spanish, French, 
German, or Italian. Say "Hey Siri," then you can ask things like:
. "How do you say 'nice to meet you' in Mandarin?"
. "How do you say 'thank you' in Italian?"
. "How do you say 'Good Morning' in German?"

. "What's a 15%

RE: Do more with Siri on HomePod, Apple Support

Yes, it's all the basic stuff and after over 6 years of SIRI the thing still 
doesn't even support multiple timers. I guess if you are heating up Pizza a 
single timer is OK, but if you are cooking something more elaborate where you 
want a 45 minute timer so you know when the scalopped potatos need to come out 
of the oven, you then want a 15 minute timer for something else and a 3-minute 
timer because you don't want to overdo the garlic which you put in the saute 
pan then SIRI is useless and it's Alexa to the rescue.
Oh yes, and the article forgot to mention that translation doesn't even work in 
Canada where last time I checked we also spoke English. I think SIRI must be 
one of Apple's biggest, unacknowledged embarrassments ever as it can do little 
more now in 2018 than it could do when it came out in 2011..

Sieghard

Re: Upgrade process from iPhone 5S

Kelly, that's understandable and that's so right. Neither one of us feel the 
strong need to get the newest phone or any other newest thing, as long as my 
phone is still working that's what I care about. I'm not into the idea of 
changing phones every year or every  2 years, that's not for me, but I hear 
of people that do that. I still use some button  phones that I'll never stop

  Interesting that you recommend the SE and the 7 Plus, a huge step up in

regular iPhone 7 would be a better choice and also less expensive.

  Bill, as relatively new iphone users, we chose the se phones, we like it
for it's size, it's very smooth operating experience when using the phone
and it will have your standard audio jack. We can definitely recomend the
se. We believe this would be a great choice. However, if you wanted to 
step
out a little our other recomendation at this time would be the 7 plus. 
With

the 7 plus I believe you get an adaptor so you would have your audio
physically connected to your phone. I've heard the bluetooth has gotten
better when it comes to audio. Anyway the 7 plus is a nice phone, just a
little more money. Good luck, Bill with all this information that you

  Hello Bill,

  You ask questions that some may be reluctant to answer for the

fact that each person's circumstances are unique.

  Be that as it may, I will offer some suggestions in order to assist
you.  Please keep in mind that this is only my opinion.

  As for determining how to tell which apps will not function in iOS 
11,

I will place the steps and a link to the article below my signature.

  1.
  To manually backup your device to iCloud, from the Settings menu,
select your name.

  2.
  Select iCloud.

  3.
  Select and explore the Backup area.

  Now, as for your other questions:

  1.
  Since money is of great concern to you, and since I'm almost certain
you do not want to have to deal with the issue of swapping out any of your
audio connectors to the Lightening form-factor, I strongly suggest that 
you

purchase an iPhone 6 S, model.  The 6 S model continues to offer the 3.5mm
jack, insuring that any analog audio equipment you have will work as 
usual.

Also, the price of the 6 S is significantly less than the 7, 8, and 10
series devices.

  As far as I know, the only place from which you can purchase a new 6 
S

series phone is from Apple, be it online or at an Apple store.

  But, in Writer, there is a button to use for selecting smaller chunks, but it 
is kind of complicated to explain right now.
  If you do not have Text Selection on your rotor, I would recommend going in 
the settings for Rotor and enabling it by double tapping on it so it says

  A review of Aira. What it is, how it works, and the ways it has changed my
  life
  by Jonathan Mosen, Posted on 03/04/2018

  Introduction
  Recently, I was pleased to attend the CSUN assistive technology 
conference.
  I've had the privilege of going to 10 of these before, but it has been a 
few
  years since I was there last.
  When you're involved with an industry, you tend to watch developments so
  closely that changes usually seem incremental. But occasionally, something
  new comes along that is so game changing, it stops you in your tracks. For
  me, San Diego-based Aira is one such technology. I am late to this party.
  Aira has been rolling out for some time in the United States. And indeed, 
we
  covered Aira in an edition of The Blind Side Podcast last year. But since
  mentioning my Aira experience to people via outlet such as my Internet 
radio
  show, The Mosen Explosion, I've learned that not everyone yet fully
  understands what the service is or how it works. For those not familiar 
with
  Aira, or who would like to read someone else's impressions of it, read on.
  What is Aira
  According to the company's website,
  Aira is today's fastest growing assistive community. One tap of a button
  instantly connects you with a sighted professional agent who delivers 
visual
  assistance anytime and anywhere.
  Here's what that means in practice. At present, Aira is a smart phone app,
  available for iOS and Android. Since Aira is a service for blind people,
  it's no surprise that the app is exemplary in terms of its accessibility.
  And in iOS, it even sports Siri integration.
  Using the app, you can connect via video, much like a FaceTime call, with
  agents who can provide you with visual information. Audio quality is
  excellent, far clearer than a standard cell phone connection. Essentially,
  an Aira agent can tell you anything at all that a pair of functioning eyes
  can see, plus perform a range of tasks pertaining to that information.
  You can acquire the visual information using your smart phone's camera, 
or,
  when you become a subscriber to the Aira service (Aira calls its customers
  "explorers") you receive a pair of smart glasses. These are included as 
part
  of your subscription, so there's no hardware cost upfront.
  The service is available officially in the United States at present, where
  Aira has an arrangement with AT Aira explorers receive an AT MiFi
  device, allowing them to use the service on the go without the data 
consumed
  by the video connection eating up a customer's own cellular plan. If you
  have a cellular plan equipped with the personal hotspot feature, you are
  free to pair your Aira glasses with your phone using that method. For 
those
  with large data plans, this may be attractive because there is one less
  device to keep track of, carry, and charge. The downside, other than the
  data consumption, is that a video connection to Aira for a long time may
  cause significant battery drain on your smart phone.

RE: Upgrade process from iPhone 5S

Hi Arlene,

I think you would be surprised how many people keep the iPhone for at least 3 
and sometimes 4 years. Yes, there are the techy people and those who just want 
to have the latest and quite a few are probably on these expensive plans which 
allow them to trade in their phone every year, but there are also a lot of as 
Kelly said budget conscious owners who either can't afford that or they just 
don't see the need for it. When I bought my first iPhone, an iPhone 4 in 2010, 
I also ended up selling it the following year to buy the 4S in 2011 because it 
was quite a big upgrade and the 4S was the first phone with SIRI. After that I 
also upgraded every 2 years, the 5S in 2013 and the 6S Plus in 2015, but now 
for the first time I have kept my 6S Plus for a third year. As I said, I'll 
probably get a battery replacement at some point this year at Apple's 
discounted price and I'm not at all sure if I will upgrade even this fall. If 
my 6S Plus gets a new battery it can probably do at least another year because 
otherwise I am very happy with the phone. I think Face Id is neat and wireless 
charging is cool, but it's not like I have to have this. Given the somewhat 
mediocre reception of the iPhone X I think I don't at all mind waiting until 
Apple has figured out where they are going with this. I also very much believe 
that there is less need to upgrade this often as these phones mature, in the 
early years say between 2007 and 2013 they came a long way and each year the 
phone was a pretty major upgrade, but now that the size/form factor seems to 
have sort of settled in, cameras while getting improvements with newer phones 
are fantastic even on the 6S/6S Plus and for every-day use I doubt you would 
notice a huge difference in speed when it comes to opening up apps and so on.
I therefore think people are going to upgrade less often in the future unless 
companies bring down the costs of the types of plans where that is possible. 
Here in Canada we pay some of the highest prices for cell phone and fast 
internet service and the plan I am on with Koodo Mobile, an MVNO owned by 
Telus, is too good to give up. I pay $49 + taxes for unlimited Canada wide 
calling and texting, basic voice mail and 6Gb of data. That of course is $49 
Canadian and with taxes added on that is about $40 US at the current exchange 
rate. I would pay at least $90 if I had a similar plan from one of the big 3 
here, Bell, Telus or Rogers and while this would allow me to buy a subsidised 
new phone every 2 years, it's not worth it.
Let's consider a 4-year term so 48 months. Let's also assume the phone will 
cost me $1,100 Canadian, but subsidised it is only $400 Canadian and I am 
buying a new phone every 2 years.
This means I will pay $90 a months for the plan I want multiplied by 48 months 
= $4,320.00. I also bought 2 phones at $400 during that time, one at the 
beginning and the second after 2 years which then lasts me for year 3 and 4, 
another $800.
Therefore, after 4 years I have spent $5,120.00.
Now in the other scenario let's assume I buy my phone for $1,100 at the 
beginning and I keep it for 4 years. I also get to be on my let's say $50 a 
month plan.
I now spent $50 for 48 months = $2,400, add to that the phone at full price and 
I spend $3,500.
Compared to the other plan I saved $1, 620.00. the iPhone X costs more than 
most people spend on a laptop and even the regular iphone 8 with 256Gb of 
memory costs as much or more than many laptops. How many people buy a new 
laptop every 2 years? I think as the initial fascination with these powerful 
little devices wears thin people will realize that they can easily keep them 
for 3 or 4 years and that for a relatively small amount they could get the 
battery replaced after 2 years to maintain good performance and especially with 
iPhones we also know that we get the latest iOS update usually for 5 years. 
Yes, the newest phone may have the hardware to support a few new features, but 
unless they introduce something pretty spectacular (that goes for Apple as well 
as for Google) most phones which are new now or were new in the last couple of 
years will do just fine.

Sieghard

Arlene, these are budget conscious iPhone owners. They have a phone introduced

now own, they will save money from the cost of chucking an iPhone after just 
two years.

Re: need to know where the options key is on the bluetooth keyboard

Arlene,
Do you not have the list of commands?
Control-Options-spacebar is the same as a single finger double tap, so to 
activate a button, you would do control-options right arrow to get to the 
button, then control-options-spacebar 'to activate the button.
If you are not able to enter text in an edit box, then Quick Nav is on. So when 
you land on the edit box, do the control-options-spacebar so VoiceOver says 
Text Field, is editing. Then you should be good to go.
With a keyboard, you should seldom need to touch the phone.

  Yes, I'm using the ZoomText screen reader and when I go to the Sam's Club

the top of the page when looking for new items or I simply select items I've

Arlene,

I'm always a bit hesitant to answer posts asking for the best way to do 
something. The best way can vary widely depending on the individual doing it. 
With that said, I use the Sam's club app to interface with my account where I 
usually use my computer and Firefox to place my Sam's orders. I make sure that 
I add products that I repeatedly buy to a Favorites list which makes ordering 
them in the future easier. I'll go online on my computer, add the items I want 
to my cart, and then purchase them. I'll get notified via email and the app 
when the order is ready to pick up and I go to my local Sam's where the items 
are in a cart ready to pick up and depart with after I've signed in at the 
pickup kiosk within the store and a Sam's employee directs me to my stuff. I 
suspect this might work differently at different Sam's stores. I know the 
process hasn't been identical even at my same store so I suspect it's evolving.

Good luck.

The scan and go app allows you to scan your items while shopping.  You can then 
check out on your phone.  I use it all the time.  

  The Sam's app is for shopping online and also finding in store

  Be that as it may, I will offer some suggestions in order to assist you.  
Please keep in mind that this is only my opinion.  

  As for determining how to tell which apps will not function in iOS 11, I 
will place the steps and a link to the article below my signature.  

  1.
  To manually backup your device to iCloud, from the Settings menu, select 
your name.

  2.
  Select iCloud.

  3.
  Select and explore the Backup area.

  Now, as for your other questions:

  1.
  Since money is of great concern to you, and since I'm almost certain you 
do not want to have to deal with the issue of swapping out any of your audio 
connectors to the Lightening form-factor, I strongly suggest that you purchase 
an iPhone 6 S, model.  The 6 S model continues to offer the 3.5mm jack, 
insuring that any analog audio equipment you have will work as usual.  Also, 
the price of the 6 S is significantly less than the 7, 8, and 10 series 
devices.  

  As far as I know, the only place from which you can purchase a new 6 S 
series phone is from Apple, be it online or at an Apple store.  

  2.
  You ask:
  "When I get the new phone, will I need to reconnect my bluetooth devices, 
my keyboard, a tile I have on my key ring, and my headphones?  Will I need to 
replace these.?

  Answer:
  All things being equal, you will probably need to re-pair your Bluetooth 
devices.  Will you need to replace them?  I should think not.

  As for your charger, the answer is, No, you will not have to replace it 
as all Apple phones, currently being sold, as new, use the Lightening port 
charging system.

  Bill, I realize that upgrading to a new phone can be very scary and I 
don't blame you for hesitating to do so.  However, in all things, change is 
unavoidable so it's best to do it on your own terms, whenever possible.  

  I won't kid you, it is quite possible that some of your favorite apps 
have not been updated to 64-bit and, thus, will not work in iOS 11.

Yes, the battery replacement program ends at the end of this year. They haven't 
specified dates though. If memory serves me right, your phone doesn't have to 
fail apple's diagnostics in order to get the battery replaced.  Kelly, have you 
tried to have mail fetch less frequently? Go to settings then accounts and 
passwords, and hit fetch new data.

Subject: RE: iPhone 6 battery question

No, I have carefully checked my Settings and I have almost everything disabled 
in Background App refresh and in Location Services everything is as it was. I 
have also made no changes otherwise and can confirm that at times the mail app 
does seem to use up a lot of battery. During the beta cycle I have also seen 
the home screen, the Phone app and SIRI show a lot of battery usage even though 
I had not made a lot of calls or used SIRI all that often. The interesting 
thing is that most apps or services which showed a lot of battery usage are 
Apple apps and services and that to me is concerning.
I have done multiple regular reboots, tried a few hard reboots and Reset 
Network Settings and while it’s a bit better now I think it’s still worse than 
before and I often have little battery left at the end of a day and that is on 
an iPhone 6S Plus where I used to get two days with similar usage patterns.
I do plan to do a full reset of the phone at some point, maybe this weekend, 
and set up as a new phone. I think every couple of years doing this is not a 
bad idea and I don’t usually keep lots of text message history, all my pictures 
go to iCloud and I don’t even store music on my phone any more locally. One of 
the most annoying things when I set up as a new phone is the work I have to set 
up my mail accounts, log back in to all the other accounts/services I use such 
as Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp, my Netatno Weather station, Alexa and other home 
automation products we use such as thermostat, lights and lock and so on. Of 
course there is rearranging the apps the way I want and creating the folders I 
want, nothing is particular difficult but all is time consuming and I bet it’s 
going to take 2 to 3 hours to get it all done.

I have the iPhone SE and on 11.3 I don't see hardly any battery drain when the 
phone is locked, and it is lasting better when I am using it.
I have no idea why some people experience such battery drain, but I doubt it is 
just the iOS. Perhaps the update enabled some settings that people have 
previously turned off?

My wife’s 6 plus shows 94 percent.

Now I have a question for you. When we get to the end of the year and I want
to get new batteries can a person do that even if their battery are still

Re: need to know where the options key is on the bluetooth keyboard

With the practice mode we're getting to know what the keys are. We're 
missing something when it comes to typing with the  keyboard, for example in 
edit boxes and having what we type  appear in the edit box. Also if you're 
on a button could you select on that button from the keyboard. Of course we 
know to tap on the phone to select a button, but we were wondering if there 
was a way to select on a button from a  keyboard. Pressing enter doesn't do 
anything. Actually the arrow keys are the only keys that we can do some 
things with. Thanks.

Re: Do more with Siri on HomePod, Apple Support

2018-04-07 Thread Jewel

Oh!  if it were only that simple.
Ever since I updated to IOS11.3 I have had problems with Siri.  I wake him up 
and ask my question. 
There is a complete silence and then, he will say:  "I am having trouble making 
a wi-fi connection. 
Try again in a moment or two!" which I do;  sometimes, it has the desired 
effect, sometimes not!
Is there a setting which I should adjust?
As an alternative to Siri, I used to be able to bring up "Google assist" and 
"OK Google" but, I 
cannot do that any longer.  I assume that they are still available and is, 
simply, that I have 
forgotten how I did it!

Do more with Siri on HomePod
>From getting the latest news to checking the weather, discover more ways
that Siri on HomePod can help you get answers to everyday questions.
Plan ahead
Siri on HomePod can help you check the weather, find places to go, and check
traffic so you can get to where you're going on time.

Check the weather
Want to know if you should wear a coat or bring an umbrella? Just ask Siri.
Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
. "What's the temperature outside?"
. "Do I need an umbrella today?"
. "How's the weather tomorrow?"

Find places
Want to try a new restaurant? Or want to know what time the grocery store
closes? Just ask Siri. Say "Hey Siri," then you can ask things like:
. "Where's a great place to eat Mexican food?"
. "What time does the Apple Store close?"
. "Where's the closest gas station?"


Check traffic
Whether you're on your way to work or just want to know how long it takes to
get somewhere, Siri can help. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
. "What's the traffic like getting to work?"
. "How long does it take to drive to San Antonio?"

Stay up to date
Catch up on current events, sports, stocks, and more with Siri.

Get the latest news
You can get news briefs from the top news sources in the world. Say "Hey
Siri," then say something like:
. "What's the news today?"
. "Give me the latest sports news."
Want to switch to a different news source? Say something like, "Hey Siri,
switch to NPR instead."

Catch up on sports
Want to know who won between the Cavs and the Warriors? Or when the Panthers
play next? Siri knows. Say "Hey Siri," then you can say things like:
. "What teams are playing in the World Cup?"
. "Did the Spurs win last night?"
. "How many completions did Joe Montana have?"


Check stocks
Stay up to date on the stock market, prices, news, and more with Siri. Say
"Hey Siri," then say something like:
. "How's the stock market doing today?"
. "What's the market capitalization of Apple?"
. "Where's the NASDAQ today?"
. "Compare AAPL and the NASDAQ."

More ways to use Siri on HomePod
Siri on HomePod is great at answering questions about the things you want to
know and do in your home. Here's what you can do.

Cook with Siri
Need a little help in the kitchen? Siri can help you measure ingredients,
set a timer, and even help you count calories. Say "Hey Siri," then you can
say things like:
. "How many cups are in a quart?"
. "Set a timer for 45 minutes."
. "Pause the timer."
. "How much time is left on the timer?"
. "How many calories are in an ounce of cheddar cheese?"

Be on time
Need to wake up early to catch a flight? Or want to check the time in
another city? Siri can help. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
. "What time is it in Berlin?"
. "When is daylight saving time?"
. "Wake me up tomorrow at 6:00 a.m."
. "Change my 6:00 a.m alarm to 6:30 a.m."
When the alarm goes off, you can say "Hey Siri, snooze" or "Hey Siri, stop."


Ask Siri to translate
You can ask Siri in English how to say something in Mandarin, Spanish,
French, German, or Italian. Say "Hey Siri," then you can ask things like:
. "How do you say 'nice to meet you' in Mandarin?"
. "How do you say 'thank you' in Italian?"
. "How do you say 'Good Morning' in German?"

Get answers
>From math to pop culture, Siri knows a little bit about everything. Say "Hey
Siri," then you can ask Siri things like:
. "Who sings this song?"
. "What's a 15% tip on $85?"
. "How high is El Capitan?"
. "What movie won Best Picture last year?"

Learn more
. With Personal Requests on HomePod, you can ask Siri to send and read
messages, add reminders, and create notes.
. Turn on lights, adjust the thermostat, and control all of the
products that you use in your home with Siri.
. Use Siri to listen to music and podcasts on HomePod.

Re: A review of Aira. What it is, how it works, and the ways it has changed my life by Jonathan Mosen,


Hi,
If you want to select all, I used the rotor Text Selection, which is an Apple 
thing, not a Writer feature. You have to enable it in the VoiceOver Rotor 
Settings.
But, in Writer, there is a button to use for selecting smaller chunks, but it 
is kind of complicated to explain right now.
If you do not have Text Selection on your rotor, I would recommend going in the 
settings for Rotor and enabling it by double tapping on it so it says 
"selected."

A review of Aira. What it is, how it works, and the ways it has changed my
life
by Jonathan Mosen, Posted on 03/04/2018

Introduction
Recently, I was pleased to attend the CSUN assistive technology conference.
I've had the privilege of going to 10 of these before, but it has been a few
years since I was there last.
When you're involved with an industry, you tend to watch developments so
closely that changes usually seem incremental. But occasionally, something
new comes along that is so game changing, it stops you in your tracks. For
me, San Diego-based Aira is one such technology. I am late to this party.
Aira has been rolling out for some time in the United States. And indeed, we
covered Aira in an edition of The Blind Side Podcast last year. But since
mentioning my Aira experience to people via outlet such as my Internet radio
show, The Mosen Explosion, I've learned that not everyone yet fully
understands what the service is or how it works. For those not familiar with
Aira, or who would like to read someone else's impressions of it, read on.
What is Aira
According to the company's website,
Aira is today's fastest growing assistive community. One tap of a button
instantly connects you with a sighted professional agent who delivers visual
assistance anytime and anywhere.
Here's what that means in practice. At present, Aira is a smart phone app,
available for iOS and Android. Since Aira is a service for blind people,
it's no surprise that the app is exemplary in terms of its accessibility.
And in iOS, it even sports Siri integration.
Using the app, you can connect via video, much like a FaceTime call, with
agents who can provide you with visual information. Audio quality is
excellent, far clearer than a standard cell phone connection. Essentially,
an Aira agent can tell you anything at all that a pair of functioning eyes
can see, plus perform a range of tasks pertaining to that information.
You can acquire the visual information using your smart phone's camera, or,
when you become a subscriber to the Aira service (Aira calls its customers
"explorers") you receive a pair of smart glasses. These are included as part
of your subscription, so there's no hardware cost upfront.
The service is available officially in the United States at present, where
Aira has an arrangement with AT Aira explorers receive an AT MiFi
device, allowing them to use the service on the go without the data consumed
by the video connection eating up a customer's own cellular plan. If you
have a cellular plan equipped with the personal hotspot feature, you are
free to pair your Aira glasses with your phone using that method. For those
with large data plans, this may be attractive because there is one less
device to keep track of, carry, and charge. The downside, other than the
data consumption, is that a video connection to Aira for a long time may
cause significant battery drain on your smart phone.
When you're at home, work, or anywhere that Wi-Fi is available that doesn't
require web-based authentication, you can pair your Aira glasses to that
network. As far as I have been able to ascertain, 5 GHZ Wi-Fi isn't
supported at present.
Because of the need for high quality video, the glasses pair via Wi-Fi, and
not Bluetooth. The glasses are associated with your Aira account. This is
useful if, like in Bonnie's and my house, you're sharing your minutes as a
couple. More on that later.
The upshot of all of this is that for 18 hours of every day, professional,
well-trained sighted assistance is just a

play next? Siri knows. Say "Hey Siri," then you can say things like:
.   "What teams are playing in the World Cup?"
.   "Did the Spurs win last night?"
.   "How many completions did Joe Montana have?"
 
 
Check stocks
Stay up to date on the stock market, prices, news, and more with Siri. Say
"Hey Siri," then say something like:

More ways to use Siri on HomePod
Siri on HomePod is great at answering questions about the things you want to
know and do in your home. Here's what you can do.
 
Cook with Siri
Need a little help in the kitchen? Siri can help you measure ingredients,
set a timer, and even help you count calories. Say "Hey Siri," then you can
say things like:
.   "How many cups are in a quart?"
.   "Set a timer for 45 minutes."
.   "Pause the timer."
.   "How much time is left on the timer?"
.   "How many calories are in an ounce of cheddar cheese?"
 
Be on time
Need to wake up early to catch a flight? Or want to check the time in
another city? Siri can help. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
.   "What time is it in Berlin?"
.   "When is daylight saving time?"
.   "Wake me up tomorrow at 6:00 a.m."
.   "Change my 6:00 a.m alarm to 6:30 a.m."
When the alarm goes off, you can say "Hey Siri, snooze" or "Hey Siri, stop."
 
 
Ask Siri to translate
You can ask Siri in English how to say something in Mandarin, Spanish,
French, German, or Italian. Say "Hey Siri," then you can ask things like:
.   "How do you say 'nice to meet you' in Mandarin?"
.   "How do you say 'thank you' in Italian?"
.   "How do you say 'Good Morning' in German?"
 
Get answers
>From math to pop culture, Siri knows a little bit about everything. Say "Hey
Siri," then you can ask Siri things like:
.   "Who sings this song?"
.   "What's a 15% tip on $85?"
.   "How high is El Capitan?"
.   "What movie won Best Picture last year?"
 
Learn more

Re: need to know where the options key is on the bluetooth keyboard

Richard, this is an apple ipad mini keyboard. Now we know which key is the 
options key. We found in the practice mode that the fifth key left key is 
spacebar, the 4th  is command, 3rd is options,2nd control, and we don't know 
what the first left key is. If you know what that is please let me know since 
it isn't speaking what it is in the practice mode. Thanks. I'm not sure of the

  A review of Aira. What it is, how it works, and the ways it has changed my
  life
  by Jonathan Mosen, Posted on 03/04/2018

  Introduction
  Recently, I was pleased to attend the CSUN assistive technology conference.
  I've had the privilege of going to 10 of these before, but it has been a few
  years since I was there last.
  When you're involved with an industry, you tend to watch developments so
  closely that changes usually seem incremental. But occasionally, something
  new comes along that is so game changing, it stops you in your tracks. For
  me, San Diego-based Aira is one such technology. I am late to this party.
  Aira has been rolling out for some time in the United States. And indeed, we
  covered Aira in an edition of The Blind Side Podcast last year. But since
  mentioning my Aira experience to people via outlet such as my Internet radio
  show, The Mosen Explosion, I've learned that not everyone yet fully
  understands what the service is or how it works. For those not familiar with
  Aira, or who would like to read someone else's impressions of it, read on.
  What is Aira
  According to the company's website,
  Aira is today's fastest growing assistive community. One tap of a button
  instantly connects you with a sighted professional agent who delivers visual
  assistance anytime and anywhere.
  Here's what that means in practice. At present, Aira is a smart phone app,
  available for iOS and Android. Since Aira is a service for blind people,
  it's no surprise that the app is exemplary in terms of its accessibility.
  And in iOS, it even sports Siri integration.
  Using the app, you can connect via video, much like a FaceTime call, with
  agents who can provide you with visual information. Audio quality is
  excellent, far clearer than a standard cell phone connection. Essentially,
  an Aira agent can tell you anything at all that a pair of functioning eyes
  can see, plus perform a range of tasks pertaining to that information.
  You can acquire the visual information using your smart phone's camera, or,
  when you become a subscriber to the Aira service (Aira calls its customers
  "explorers") you receive a pair of smart glasses. These are included as part
  of your subscription, so there's no hardware cost upfront.
  The service is available officially in the United States at present, where
  Aira has an arrangement with AT Aira explorers receive an AT MiFi
  device, allowing them to use the service on the go without the data consumed
  by the video connection eating up a customer's own cellular plan. If you
  have a cellular plan equipped with the personal hotspot feature, you are
  free to pair your Aira glasses with your phone using that method. For those
  with large data plans, this may be attractive because there is one less
  device to keep track of, carry, and charge. The downside, other than the
  data consumption, is that a video connection to Aira for a long time may
  cause significant battery drain on your smart phone.
  When you're at home, work, or anywhere that Wi-Fi is available that doesn't
  require web-based authentication, you can pair your Aira glasses to that
  network. As far as I have been able to ascertain, 5 GHZ Wi-Fi isn't
  supported at present.
  Because of the need for high quality video, the glasses pair via Wi-Fi, and
  not Bluetooth. The glasses are associated with your Aira account. This is
  useful if, like in Bonnie's and my house, you're sharing your minutes as a
  couple. More on that later.
  The upshot of all of this is that for 18 hours of every day, professional,
  well-trained sighted assistance is just a few taps or a Siri command away.
  Describing it like this makes it sound kind of cool. But I want to explain
  the impact that Aira has had on our lives in the brief time we have had it,
  to illustrate that, at least for some of us, this technology is more than
  just pretty cool, it's life-changing.
  My first Aira experience
  If you've been reading this blog or listening to The Blind Side Podcast over
  the years, you will know that in recent times I have come out as having a
  hearing impairment. I love going to these big conferences because I get to
  catch up with old friends and make new ones, as well as see the latest and
  greatest

  Arlene,

   

  Yes, I'm using the ZoomText screen reader and when I go to the Sam's Club 
website, I'm automatically logged into my account and I use the search box at 
the top of the page when looking for new items or I simply select items I've 
saved in my Favorites list or that I've previously purchased. Once I've added 
everything to my cart, I purchase it on the web page. I pretty much use the app 
for getting notifications of when my purchase is ready to pick up and use my 
iPhone to sign in at the member pickup kiosk at the store with my Sam's member 
ID code which I've saved in my wallet.

Arlene,

 

I'm always a bit hesitant to answer posts asking for the best way to do 
something. The best way can vary widely depending on the individual doing it. 
With that said, I use the Sam's club app to interface with my account where I 
usually use my computer and Firefox to place my Sam's orders. I make sure that 
I add products that I repeatedly buy to a Favorites list which makes ordering 
them in the future easier. I'll go online on my computer, add the items I want 
to my cart, and then purchase them. I'll get notified via email and the app 
when the order is ready to pick up and I go to my local Sam's where the items 
are in a cart ready to pick up and depart with after I've signed in at the 
pickup kiosk within the store and a Sam's employee directs me to my stuff. I 
suspect this might work differently at different Sam's stores. I know the 
process hasn't been identical even at my same store so I suspect it's evolving.

 

Good luck.

Is this the best way or what way would be the right way to get this done. Also

  I am not sure if you are talking about the Sam's app or the scan and go.  
The scan and go app allows you to scan your items while shopping.  You can then 
check out on your phone.  I use it all the time.  

  The Sam's app is for shopping online and also finding in store 
availability of items.

Hi all,
I didn’t get a response about this and I wondered if it was because the
subject line was not very good.

I am looking for a program that I can use with either jaws 18 or jaws 2018 to
transfer text messages from my iPhone to my computer.

ITunes (which is anything but useful) will make a backup but they are
encrypted and you can’t get to them.

I want to be able to make a back up that I can read on the computer. I need
to save a lot of them they are kind of important to me.

Anyone know of a program that works to do this?

Thanks Shannon

All advice will be greatly appreciated.

RE: iPhone 6 battery question

No, I have carefully checked my Settings and I have almost everything disabled 
in Background App refresh and in Location Services everything is as it was. I 
have also made no changes otherwise and can confirm that at times the mail app 
does seem to use up a lot of battery. During the beta cycle I have also seen 
the home screen, the Phone app and SIRI show a lot of battery usage even though 
I had not made a lot of calls or used SIRI all that often. The interesting 
thing is that most apps or services which showed a lot of battery usage are 
Apple apps and services and that to me is concerning.
I have done multiple regular reboots, tried a few hard reboots and Reset 
Network Settings and while it’s a bit better now I think it’s still worse than 
before and I often have little battery left at the end of a day and that is on 
an iPhone 6S Plus where I used to get two days with similar usage patterns.
I do plan to do a full reset of the phone at some point, maybe this weekend, 
and set up as a new phone. I think every couple of years doing this is not a 
bad idea and I don’t usually keep lots of text message history, all my pictures 
go to iCloud and I don’t even store music on my phone any more locally. One of 
the most annoying things when I set up as a new phone is the work I have to set 
up my mail accounts, log back in to all the other accounts/services I use such 
as Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp, my Netatno Weather station, Alexa and other home 
automation products we use such as thermostat, lights and lock and so on. Of 
course there is rearranging the apps the way I want and creating the folders I 
want, nothing is particular difficult but all is time consuming and I bet it’s 
going to take 2 to 3 hours to get it all done.

I have the iPhone SE and on 11.3 I don't see hardly any battery drain when the

I have no idea why some people experience such battery drain, but I doubt it is 
just the iOS. Perhaps the update enabled some settings that people have 
previously turned off?

Hi Sieghard,

I have had my iPhone 6s plus on 24 hours a day for about two and a half

I checked my 6s plus and it says 100 percent. Can you believe that. LOL

My wife’s 6 plus shows 94 percent.

Now I have a question for you. When we get to the end of the year and I want
to get new batteries can a person do that even if their battery are still
showing very well. Another words does the battery have to be so low of a
percentage to take advantage of the $29 battery replacement? Also when does
the $29 battery replacement expire?

Hi Bill,

Only 175 miles away? That’s an afternoon drive for many up here in northern
British Columbia.

I will probably take advantage of the battery replacement for my 6S Plus and
my wife’s 6S. Fortunately we have to go to Calgary at the end of May so I
will make an appointment with one of the two Apple Stores there. Otherwise
my closest Apple Store is in Vancouver which is about 720 miles away from
the little town where we live.

Have any of you guys with an iPhone 6 who have installed iOS 11.3 checked
the Battery Health section to see how much capacity is left? Just curious.

I have an iPhone 6 that will be sent into Apple for a battery replacement for

I called into Apple (800-MyApple or 800-692-7753).  The support associate asked 
that I turn off “Find My iPhone” so remote diagnostics could be run and he 
determined that the charge cycles had been exhausted and the only resolution 
was to have a new battery installed.  I suggest you call into Apple and see if 
remote diagnostics reveals that your battery is likewise exhausted.

If you are, like me, too far away from an Apple store you will be given the 
option of sending your iPhone 6 in to Apple for battery replacement.  If you 
are fortunate enough to live relatively near an Apple store or certified repair 
center you will be able to take your iPhone to the nearest store or repair 
center and get the spent battery replaced for the discount price of $29.00.

The caveat to all this is that there be no damage to your iPhone other than 
that customarily occurring with normal use and care.

Re: iPhone 6 battery question

2018-04-07 Thread Donald L. Roberts

Chris, I know that this sounds almost unbelievable; however, my 6 was back 
in my hand in less than 48 hours from the time I took it into Fed X.  
Furthermore, I was supplied with a tracking number, an email when the phone was 
received, another when it was out for shipping, and a third when it was out for 
delivery. I have never gotten such prompt and thorough service previously. 

Perhaps I should mention that I do not know to where my 6 was shipped for 
service.  I had initially called Apple Care and was emailed an RMA number and 
told to take just the phone and that RMA number to Fed X who did the rest 
including the boxing of the phone for shipment.

RE: iPhone 6 battery question

2018-04-07 Thread Mr. Ed

Hi Sieghard,

I have had my iPhone 6s plus on 24 hours a day for about two and a half years. 
So I do not know why the battery shows so good.

I checked my 6s plus and it says 100 percent. Can you believe that. LOL

My wife’s 6 plus shows 94 percent.

Now I have a question for you. When we get to the end of the year and I want to 
get new batteries can a person do that even if their battery are still showing 
very well. Another words does the battery have to be so low of a percentage to 
take advantage of the $29 battery replacement? Also when does the $29 battery 
replacement expire?

Mr. Ed

Hi Bill,

 

Only 175 miles away? That’s an afternoon drive for many up here in northern 
British Columbia.

I will probably take advantage of the battery replacement for my 6S Plus and my 
wife’s 6S. Fortunately we have to go to Calgary at the end of May so I will 
make an appointment with one of the two Apple Stores there. Otherwise my 
closest Apple Store is in Vancouver which is about 720 miles away from the 
little town where we live.

Have any of you guys with an iPhone 6 who have installed iOS 11.3 checked the 
Battery Health section to see how much capacity is left? Just curious.

I have an iPhone 6 that will be sent into Apple for a battery replacement for 
the discount offer.  I have to send it in because I live in northern Wisconsin 
and the nearest Apple Store is about 175 miles away.

 

I called into Apple (800-MyApple or 800-692-7753).  The support associate asked 
that I turn off “Find My iPhone” so remote diagnostics could be run and he 
determined that the charge cycles had been exhausted and the only resolution 
was to have a new battery installed.  I suggest you call into Apple and see if 
remote diagnostics reveals that your battery is likewise exhausted.

 

If you are, like me, too far away from an Apple store you will be given the 
option of sending your iPhone 6 in to Apple for battery replacement.  If you 
are fortunate enough to live relatively near an Apple store or certified repair 
center you will be able to take your iPhone to the nearest store or repair 
center and get the spent battery replaced for the discount price of $29.00.

 

The caveat to all this is that there be no damage to your iPhone other than 
that customarily occurring with normal use and care.

Overdrive how to use it?

2018-04-07 Thread Lelia Struve

Hello everyone, so I didn’t know you could do this but I got a library card 
online. So I got the over Drive app, but I can’t seem to save my library. Any 
tips on how to use this app would be greatly appreciated. I went to the Apple 
vis site and didn’t find too much. I thought someone would have made a podcast 
but no luck. Thanks for any and all tips and tricks!

Eye-d, a free orientation app

Greetings,

Below is the app store information about this app, followed by my initial 
review.  Note that the name is spelled E y e hyphen d.

Eye-D, free, by GingerMind Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

App store description:

Eye-D is a movement propelled by the visually impaired community with help of 
Team Eye-D. We vouch to empower the VI by providing easy access to cutting edge 
technology! Eye-D is here to assit the visually imapired in independent living 
by helping them evaluate the world around them with help of their smartphone.  
It will work as your companion when you travel, help you explore places, tell 
yiu about the objects in front of you and read text whenever you need. This is 
what we have built for you: • Where Am I: Be it the busiest suburbs of Mumbai 
or the loneliest roads of Siberia, whether you are a common man or zombie, 
Eye-D will make sure that you are never lost. Tap on “Where Am I” and let the 
magic happen. You get to know your location with a list of landmarks nearby. 
Found any of the landmark interesting? Then why wait tap the preferred landmark 
and Eye-D guides you to it with directions (currently by opening Apple/ Google 
maps for navigation). • Around Me: Stuck in an alien town? Calm down, fire the 
Eye-D app and select “Around Me”. Bingo!! You can now find ATM’s, Banks, Bus 
stops, Cinemas, Restaurants, Hospitals, Stores and even the Religious places 
nearby. Select the desired category and navigate to the preferred place. To 
ensure that you never miss out a place we have provided a search radius 
controller. So the next time you don’t find a relevant place nearby try 
adjusting the search radius to anything in the range of 500 to 5500 meters. 
What? Still in that alien town? Come-on find the nearest bus stop and head out. 
• See Object: I’m facing the gate… No the lemon tree…. No the bike, Easy pal!! 
Use the See Object mode in the Eye-D app to evaluate your surroundings. Click 
on this mode, take a picture and Eye-D app will tell you what’s in front. So 
the next time you are standing at the window use the See Object mode to check 
what’s happening on the other side. In case you missed the description the 
first time simply swipe right to hear again. • Read Text: We designed this 
feature so that next time your visit a restaurant or want to get a novel for 
you friend you won’t have to ask anyone for help. Open read text mode, click a 
picture and Eye-D app will read the text in front you. You can swipe right to 
hear the text again in case you missed it the first time. • Contact Us: Love 
the app? Have a suggestion for the team? Found a bug? Please use this mode to 
talk to us. We would love to hear from you. Connect with us on social media: 
http://facebook.com/HelloEyeD/ http://twitter.com/HelloEyeD


What's New: Version 1.1.1, 6d ago, This version of Eye-D includes all key 
features that will help you explore places, be location aware, evaluate 
surroundings and read text. Do not forget to share images with Eye-D Vision!

Please use the contact us feature to share your feedback/ suggestions. We will 
look forward to hear from you :)


I was told about this app from someone who seems to think it will replace 
BlindSquare.

I don't think so.  While it is free and does some similar things and has some 
features like Seeing AI, you cannot search for a specific address or business, 
you have to pick from their list of Points Of Interest and their list is 
somewhat limited.  I checked under its store/supermarkets category, and while 
it found a lot of ones in the radius allowed, it missed two Safeway stores and 
a Fred Meyer.  The one Safeway store is much closer than several of the ones it 
found.

Its picture descriptions are OK, and I have not tried its text recognition as 
yet.

Once you pick a point of interest, it will open Google Maps to get turn-by-turn 
directions.

Here is the app store link:

Eye-D by GingerMind Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/eye-d/id1354363634?mt=8


Just thought I'd share what I've found,

Richard

RE: is anyone using the sams store app?

2018-04-07 Thread Alan Lemly

Arlene,

 

Yes, I'm using the ZoomText screen reader and when I go to the Sam's Club 
website, I'm automatically logged into my account and I use the search box at 
the top of the page when looking for new items or I simply select items I've 
saved in my Favorites list or that I've previously purchased. Once I've added 
everything to my cart, I purchase it on the web page. I pretty much use the app 
for getting notifications of when my purchase is ready to pick up and use my 
iPhone to sign in at the member pickup kiosk at the store with my Sam's member 
ID code which I've saved in my wallet.

Arlene,

 

I'm always a bit hesitant to answer posts asking for the best way to do 
something. The best way can vary widely depending on the individual doing it. 
With that said, I use the Sam's club app to interface with my account where I 
usually use my computer and Firefox to place my Sam's orders. I make sure that 
I add products that I repeatedly buy to a Favorites list which makes ordering 
them in the future easier. I'll go online on my computer, add the items I want 
to my cart, and then purchase them. I'll get notified via email and the app 
when the order is ready to pick up and I go to my local Sam's where the items 
are in a cart ready to pick up and depart with after I've signed in at the 
pickup kiosk within the store and a Sam's employee directs me to my stuff. I 
suspect this might work differently at different Sam's stores. I know the 
process hasn't been identical even at my same store so I suspect it's evolving.

 

Good luck.

I am not sure if you are talking about the Sam's app or the scan and go.  The 
scan and go app allows you to scan your items while shopping.  You can then 
check out on your phone.  I use it all the time.  

The Sam's app is for shopping online and also finding in store availability of 
items.

I am not sure if you are talking about the Sam's app or the scan and go.  
The scan and go app allows you to scan your items while shopping.  You can then 
check out on your phone.  I use it all the time.  

The Sam's app is for shopping online and also finding in store availability 
of items.

Bill, as relatively new iphone users, we chose the se phones, we like it for

believe this would be a great choice. However, if you wanted to step out a

Hello Bill,

You ask questions that some may be reluctant to answer for the simple fact that 
each person's circumstances are unique.

Be that as it may, I will offer some suggestions in order to assist you.  
Please keep in mind that this is only my opinion.

As for determining how to tell which apps will not function in iOS 11, I will 
place the steps and a link to the article below my signature.

1.
To manually backup your device to iCloud, from the Settings menu, select your 
name.

2.
Select iCloud.

3.
Select and explore the Backup area.

Now, as for your other questions:

1.
Since money is of great concern to you, and since I'm almost certain you do not 
want to have to deal with the issue of swapping out any of your audio 
connectors to the Lightening form-factor, I strongly suggest that you purchase 
an iPhone 6 S, model.  The 6 S model continues to offer the 3.5mm jack, 
insuring that any analog audio equipment you have will work as usual.  Also, 
the price of the 6 S is significantly less than the 7, 8, and 10 series devices.

As far as I know, the only place from which you can purchase a new 6 S series 
phone is from Apple, be it online or at an Apple store.

2.
You ask:
"When I get the new phone, will I need to reconnect my bluetooth devices, my 
keyboard, a tile I have on my key ring, and my headphones?  Will I need to 
replace these.?

Answer:
All things being equal, you will probably need to re-pair your Bluetooth 
devices.  Will you need to replace them?  I should think not.

As for your charger, the answer is, No, you will not have to replace it as all 
Apple phones, currently being sold, as new, use the Lightening port charging 
system.

Bill, I realize that upgrading to a new phone can be very scary and I don't 
blame you for hesitating to do so.  However, in all things, change is 
unavoidable so it's best to do it on your own terms, whenever possible.

I won't kid you, it is quite possible that some of your favorite apps have not 
been updated to 64-bit and, thus, will not work in iOS 11.  Regardless, given 
that your 5 S is falling apart, I’m certain that you will gain more than you 
lose by upgrading to a new device with a modern operating system.

Okay, that's about it.

Good luck, Bill, and try to have faith in yourself.  You can do this.

Sincerely,

Mark

RE: iPhone 6 battery question

I found during the beta cycle of iOS 11.3 that battery life was also worse for 
my iPhone 6S Plus. Towards the end of the beta and now with the public release 
it seems a bit better, but I also did a Reset Network Settings which often can 
help. I would recommend you go to Settings > General > Reset Network Settings 
and do that. Keep in mind that you will have to reconnect to any WiFi networks 
after that which includes entering the password. Also, If your phone's name 
includes your name, e.g. Jan's iPhone, you have to go into Settings > General > 
About and fix that again, doing a reset network settings will change It to 
simply "iPhone".

Hello,

Ever since I upgraded to 1103, my battery life is terrible! For example, this 
morning I had a battery status of 82 percent.  I made 2 short phone calls 
during the day, and for the rest of the day, my phone was on stand by, in other 
words, the screen was locked.  At nine this evening, my battery showed 7 
percent.  I have gone into mail, notifications, and everything I can think of.  
Is anyone else who uses an iPhone 6 having the same issues?  Any suggestions is 
greatly appreciated.

RE: iPhone 6 battery question

Hi Bill,

Only 175 miles away? That’s an afternoon drive for many up here in northern 
British Columbia.
I will probably take advantage of the battery replacement for my 6S Plus and my 
wife’s 6S. Fortunately we have to go to Calgary at the end of May so I will 
make an appointment with one of the two Apple Stores there. Otherwise my 
closest Apple Store is in Vancouver which is about 720 miles away from the 
little town where we live.
Have any of you guys with an iPhone 6 who have installed iOS 11.3 checked the 
Battery Health section to see how much capacity is left? Just curious.

I have an iPhone 6 that will be sent into Apple for a battery replacement for 
the discount offer.  I have to send it in because I live in northern Wisconsin 
and the nearest Apple Store is about 175 miles away.

I called into Apple (800-MyApple or 800-692-7753).  The support associate asked 
that I turn off “Find My iPhone” so remote diagnostics could be run and he 
determined that the charge cycles had been exhausted and the only resolution 
was to have a new battery installed.  I suggest you call into Apple and see if 
remote diagnostics reveals that your battery is likewise exhausted.

If you are, like me, too far away from an Apple store you will be given the 
option of sending your iPhone 6 in to Apple for battery replacement.  If you 
are fortunate enough to live relatively near an Apple store or certified repair 
center you will be able to take your iPhone to the nearest store or repair 
center and get the spent battery replaced for the discount price of $29.00.

The caveat to all this is that there be no damage to your iPhone other than 
that customarily occurring with normal use and care.
