Xfinity XFIPods and iPhone Setup

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
While it’s true that these devices don’t directly relate to iPhone use since 
you use your iPhone exclusively to set them up if you use that platform of 
course I thought it relevant to anyone on this list who might be a Comcast 
customer.

In case anyone had been anticipating the arrival of these devices for Comcast 
Xfinity internet customers and wondering what they’d be like and how accessible 
their setup would be let me assure you that Comcast as has become the custom of 
recent years have outdone themselves in creating an experience that is both 
easy, intuitive for all and accessible too.
I ordered the devices Thursday afternoon and they arrived Saturday. Their 
packaging is of very high quality. The devices are compact but feel very solid 
to the touch. But more importantly the setup process in Comcast’s Xfinity XFI 
app was seamless, intuitive, easy as can be and accessible at least on iOS 
devices from beginning to end.  I can’t speak to the Android side as I don’t 
have a device running it but I’ve no doubt that if it isn’t yet, it soon will 
be accessible on that device as well. True to the description setup took less 
than ten minutes and the end user needed to know practically next to nothing 
more than their own internet user name and password and how to follow prompts 
to get things up and running.
For those who’ve worked with mesh internet systems before the experience will 
be quite familiar but even for those with no prior experience with such devices 
worry not should you choose to implement them in your environs the entire 
process from ordering to setup will be a breeze.
I just thought I’d post just in case others like myself had been anticipating 
their arrival and wondered what it’d be like to get them up and going.
All of my devices including iDevices and Sonos speakers along with pc’s and 
other internet connected things are happily up and running. 
Take good care.
Robin

RE: WiFi ports

I think you'll need to buy a better/newer router.  I like the TP-Link C7.

Do you mean you want to plug more devices into your router than it has ports? 
If so just look for a 5-port or 8-port desktop switch 
which all companies make, Linksys, D-Link, Netgear etc.
You use one of the ports of your router (most of them have 4 ports) and plug in 
the desktop switch and then you have those 5 or 8 
ports available (depending on which one you buy). I have a Cisco 16-port small 
business switch at my store which has 8 regular and 8 
POE ports power over ethernet, those are ports used for example if you have Ip 
phones which need the network connection but also 
require power). Often you can power POE devices with a separate adapter, but if 
you have POE ports on your router the CAD5E or CAD6 
cable provides the power for the device as well as the wired connection to your 
network

Here is one example:
NETGEAR 5-port Gigabit Desktop Switch in Metal Case - Essentials Edition (GS305)

Hi,  what solutions do people have when your router can no longer accept any 
more pods/pads/phones/etc?

A device to hook to an rj45 port/socket would be good.

Thoughts please?

Re: Lost Keyboard, Contacts Losing Focus

[Deidre Muccio]

Dulce

You must have accidentally hit a different tab and gotten off the keyboard. Go 
to Contacts or Mail or wherever you are and select keyboard at the bottom of 
each page you're going to have that option. For any any app where you need to 
enter data like phone.
Go to the roter or when you're in contacts and see what it's on. Maybe if you  
put it on headings and you get beyond the first few lines by swiping to the 
right, and you get to The entries starting with a and you flipped down  you 
will get to BCDEFG and so on. I'm not using 11 three though so if the gestures 
are different I can't help you.

Re: weather gods question

[Kelly Pierce]

Weather Gods delivers a 24 hour now cast notification when the user
travels at least 10 miles or 15 kilometers. The follow me setting
needs to be enabled.
The distance limit was a nod to those in big cities who were getting
notifications on a daily commute, even though they had not left their
city.

The app has a Norwegian translation created by a VoiceOver end user in Norway.

I've heard that it's supposed to work worldwide, but I haven't tried it outside 
the U.S. so don't know whether that's true.

Re: Shared From Seeing AI

[Richard Turner]

I'm sure Sandra was pointing out that the Product channel in Seeing AI can give 
you more information about a product just like the $1300 ID Mate, but forgot to 
put some text in the body of the message and just shared the attached document. 
I did not realize attachments are accepted on GoogleGroups.
So, I learned something from this. Thank you Sandra.

Hi folks

Is the app compatible for European regions? For 2 years now I downloaded the 
app but I could not get any accurate weather info for Belgium or Germany.

As far as I understand the app there is no way for notifications to follow

should you want to be informed of weather conditions there.

Lost Keyboard, Contacts Losing Focus

[Dulce Muccio Weisenborn]

Hi, All.  My keyboard no longer shows up.  How do I get it back?  Also, when i 
try to focus on a contact, my 6S loses focus and tells me I have 407 contacts.  
The only remedy is to flick up from the very last contacts until I get back to 
the desired one.  Is this fixable?

Dulce

RE: Follow up to a posting about accessible bluetooth kitchen scales

[Cristóbal]

Hi Sieghard,

I should have been more clear, the Vox scale I was referring to is the Vox 3000 
model. I have also tried a couple of the new models which I think are the Vox 
5000 scales if that’s the one you say you have. Its platform is indeed square 
and the little display with the buttons has a rubbery texture if I remember 
correctly. I at two different times bought two of those scales and in both 
instances, they crapped out on me within a month. I didn’t even bother with all 
the returns and warranty and just returned them to Amazon. 

I will say, the whole taking time to open the app thing really isn’t something 
I notice any more since I usually have my phone in my pocket and just launch it 
real quick while I’m gathering up what are usually things like the coffee 
beans/tea, the grinder, measuring cup, water  and so on. It was something that 
I thought was going to bug me more, but it turned out not to be a big deal if 
at all.

Like I said since I have the app go straight to the scale feature, it’s really 
just double tapping on the app icon to open it and zero it out once I’m ready 
to measure whatever it is I’m getting ready to make. 

I will say too, the readings are much faster than what the My Weigh scales 
offer as they’re pretty much instantaneous and again, if you’re on the current 
weight field, VO will speak them automatically. I actually find this to be 
faster than with the Vox scales even when they worked for me. 

Again, my first preference would be just to have any of the Vox scales be more 
durable, but this at a reduced price isn’t really so bad. 

Now, if you see me write in a couple of weeks complaining on how this Drop 
Kitchen scale just died on me, then I apparently have to go get some voodoo 
cleaning done in my kitchen to rid myself of any little gremlins that are 
messing with me and my stuff.

Hi Cristóbal,

 

You must have bad luck with the My Weigh talking scales. I had my first one for 
close to 20 years and it did not work any more at some point last November. I 
contacted the company and they also have a partner here in Canada (probably 
their distributor) where I sent the scale along with a money order and they 
sent me a new one. This one is a bit different, I guess it’s the newer model 
which doesn’t come with the plastic bowl any more, but I have used it now since 
last November without any issues whatsoever.

 

I’m glad to hear the Drop scale is accessible and has the simple scale 
function, but as you also pointed out, you would prefer a talking scale and in 
this case so do I, having to grab the phone, unlock it, open an app and do all 
that every time I want to weigh what might be one of 8 or 10 ingredients in a 
cake recipe sounds like entirely too much trouble.Too bad nobody has made one 
yet which works with Alexa.

 

As for the other one you mentioned I would call this a case where you get what 
you pay for, can’t expect too much with a $20 scale. When my My Weigh stopped 
working I initially had also ordered another talking scale from Amazon, I think 
it was called “Jobar”, but it had a horrible voice and I didn’t like how it 
worked. 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hello list,

 

Towards the end of last year, I posted a sort of query/rant about Bluetooth 
kitchen scales and how I was having no luck with the MY Weigh Vox talking 
scales. No matter how careful I was, the vox scales would unfailingly crap out 
on me only after a few months at the most. At the time of that post, the two of 
my vox scales died within days apart of each other during the Christmas 
holidays. Being stuck without an accessible scale was not fun. That and they 
were already replacements of replacements of replacements… My Weigh did swap 
them out for me and at least that time, they didn’t even charge me the standard 
$25 fee. I just had to pay shipping for both of the scales to Arizona. Came out 
to something like $10.

Anyway, the most recent Vox 3000 scale replacement I got towards the middle of 
January and this time . . . it lasted all the way to mid-March… 

In the meantime, I had been checking out some Bluetooth kitchen scales for 
accessible alternatives as it seems that My Weigh really is the only 
manufacturer that makes talking kitchen scales that can weigh to the gram. And 
as it appears that I’m more or less Charlie Brown when it comes to vox scales, 
I didn’t want to continue to play the swap out

Agreed, Sieghard. Lol Cheap wine can be quite delicious--and as anyone in the 
industry can tell you, price is not indicative of quality.

Also, she probably sent it to the list by mistake. Calm down.

Re: Follow up to a posting about accessible bluetooth kitchen scales

[englishrider91]

I've also had very good luck with MyWeigh's kitchen scales. Their bathroom 
scale--thI had the one where you had to tap it first with your foot before 
fully stepping on to it. Anyhow, after a while, the voice readout and print 
numbers weren't matching up at all. Of course, the kitchen scale doesn't get a 
huge amount of use--it's my baking/portioning out ground meat scale, and I 
don't do those things every day.


Thanks,
Ari

manufacturer that makes talking kitchen scales that can weigh to the gram. And 
as it appears that I’m more or less Charlie Brown when it comes to vox scales, 
I didn’t want to continue to play the swap out game for eternity.
I came across two Bluetooth options. The Perfect Bake 2.0 Smart Scale: 
https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Recipe-Kitchen-Wireless-Bluetooth/dp/B019C4PUOA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8=1526269584=8-3=bluetooth+kitchen+scale=51EpnAj-ZTL=_SY300_QL70_=srch
 for $20.00. as well as the Drop Scale - Connected Kitchen Scale: 
https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Scale-Connected-Step-Step/dp/B00TTY34KG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8=1526268636=8-1=drop+bluetooth+kitchen+scale=31UVszDTlQL=_SY300_QL70_=srch
 which I got on sale for $56.00 from its usual $80.00. As of this posting, it 
looks like the Drop Kitchen scale is $70.00.
Both devices have iOS apps. The Perfect Bake Smart scale I ended up returning 
as I found it to feel on the cheap side in regards to materials (it felt very 
plasticky and flimsy) and the paring was kind of a hassle. I don’t recall 
exactly the process, but I do remember not being able to figure out the buttons 
(memory serves that there were four buttons) and ended up calling my sighted 
wife to help me out. The app it was more or less accessible with from what I 
was able to gather VoiceOver reading the different areas, but again, the app 
and its layout just felt a little too busy for me.
To be clear, both these scales and their associated apps have the main focus on 
interactive recipes with a heavy visual element to them. You follow a recipe 
and you can see on the display how virtual bowls and what have you filling up 
and so on. This too added to the over all feel of the perfect bake smart scale 
giving more of the impression of being a kid’s toy than anything else. In the 
Perfect Bake Smart scale, there is an element where you can put VO focus on and 
as the weight fluctuates, VO will announce the changes, but it kind of gets 
lost with everything else on the screen. That and for me at least with this 
model, I started to get all sorts of crazy readings into the thousand of grams. 
I really didn’t play around with it much to see if I could figure out or 
correct the weird readings since I knew within a couple of days I wasn’t going 
to keep it so I just sent it back.
As far as the Drop Kitchen scale, it’s actual feel seemed more in line with its 
higher price. It is small (maybe 7 inches in

Re: I.D. Mate bar code reader instead of iOS barcode app?

[Caitlyn Furness]

Hi,

I have the ID mate Galaxy reader.  I love that thing!

I’m not sure about everyone else, but every time I try to use any bar code 
reader on my i phone, I can never find the bar code.  the ID mate makes it easy 
because it’s multidirectional when it scans for a bar code, so you don’t have 
to be that precise when looking for the bar code.  for me, the database is 
always current because I update when the updates come out twice a year.  It’s 
also easy to record your own codes and then up load them to the universal 
database so they are included the next time an update comes out.  I know the ID 
mates are expensive compared to bar code reading apps on the i phone, but for 
me, it was worth it.

JMO, of course

Caitlyn

Re: I.D. Mate bar code reader instead of iOS barcode app?

['Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone]

Richard,

I just sent in, don't know if it arrived, of a successful scan of a ottle 
of wine. I, like you, find the Seeing Ai product channel very useful and it is 
free!! The only things I have difficulty with are smallish tubes of cosmetic 
creams. It finds the barcode easily, but can't seem to get a good enough 
purchase, so, I get the fast beeps, but no result. I didn't know that if you 
get the "not identified" message, it was worth trying again.

Something I noticed, when doing the wine, was that it works best with the 
bottle upright and just rotate until you hear the beep. Most round containers 
seem to need to be on their sides. I suppose it comes from wine had a life of 
its own, and was not to be put on its side or shaken. Most modern wines 
wouldn't notice if you put them in the spin-dryer!

I went over to my larder, intending to try the product reader on some jars, 
as soon as I got near enough, phone in hand, not having decided which to try, 
the app started beeping and reading whatever it saw, barcode-wise! I find it 
excellent at spotting the smallest indication of a barcode. I do notice, 
sometimes, once you get the fast beeps, but no "processing" message, it is 
worth gently changing the angle of the phone, in a sort of circular movement, 
it sometimes does the trick!

Sandy, waiting for happy hour!

RE: I.D. Mate bar code reader instead of iOS barcode app?

[Rick Alfaro]

Hi, adding my 2 cents, I have the Galaxy device and it works great once you get 
past the boot time which is my one biggest complaint. Even though they have 
shortened the boot time considerably with its last firmware by 13 seconds, I 
find it is still too long which causes me to use one of the IOS solutions like 
seeing AI or KNFB reader. Having said that however, the Galaxy is more 
accurate. It’s what I use if I have several items to scan.

Someone is selling some I.D. Mate bar code readers on a buy/sell list I belong 
to and while I’m somewhat interested, I’m wondering if ultimately, the app more 
or less duplicates what the I.D. Mate bar code reader does? That or is the 
singular task that the I.D. Mate bar code reader is designed for is that much 
more superior at what it does that having a stand alone bar code scanning 
device may be worth h having? Also, for the record, I am completely blind so 
any features that the I.D. Mate bar code reader  may have to assist folks with 
low vision wouldn’t matter to me and not be some sort of plus for having the 
device. 

Would appreciate any input or observations.

Thanks,

Re: I.D. Mate bar code reader instead of iOS barcode app?

[Richard Turner]

OK, to help those who have struggled with the Seeing AI app's Product 
identification, I tested it on a can of LeCroix sparking water. There is no 
label, so you cannot use the seam as a location hint for the bar code, but have 
to just turn the can until the beeps begin.
I started with the iPhone about 18 inches from the can, and when the beeps 
started, I slowly moved the can closer to the iPhone. When it got between 4 and 
6 inches away, the product was identified. That took no more than 10 seconds 
and I think less.
I then tried it on a carton of heavy cream.
The first try, came back with product not identified. So I tried again and made 
sure the side of the carton where the beeps had happened was straight on and it 
worked. Again, I started about 18 inches away until the beeps started.
After the identification was made, I flicked right to the more info button and 
double tapped, and got this result:
Darigold Whipping Cream Classic 36%, Heavy

Keep product refrigerated. For best quality, use within fifteen days after 
opening. Especially for sauces and whipping. Farmer owned. Your local dairy. 
Since 1918. This milk comes from cows not treated with the growth hormone-rBST 
(According to the FDA, no significant difference has been shown between milk 
derived from rbST treated and non-rbST treated cows) . Ultra-pasteurized. Thank 
you for choosing Darigold. What is ultra-pasteurization. Ultra-pasteurization 
is a process similar to regular pasteurization that simply uses pressure, 
higher heat, and a shorter period of time. The product is then packaged on 
special very clean filling machines. The high heat process and clean packaging 
environment significantly extend the freshness period for milk and other 
products like heavy whipping cream. No chemicals or preservatives are added to 
the product as part of the ultra-pasteurization process. This advanced 
technology extends the shelf life to 60+ days (the shelf life for regular 
pasteurization is 21 days). Once the carton is opened, it is best used within 
fifteen days. Grade A. A gluten free product.


On frozen dinners, the more info button usually gets all the nutrition info 
plus cooking instructions for both regular ovens and microwaves.
So, for me, the slightly slower time compared to an ID Mate is well worth it so 
I can save my money for more important purchases.
Just my two cents worth,
Richard

  It is $79.99 in the US app store. 
  You can download just the US maps, or just Canada or both. Both take about 4 
GB of space on your device.
  It sounds like they are branching out into England and eventually will be 
available in many countries, but who knows how long that will take.

  Nearby Explorer gives much more feedback than Google Maps. In fact, it 
gives similar feedback to Blind Square The advantage Nearby explorer has is 
that it also does turn-by-turn directions, while Blind Square just tells you 
about streets you are coming to and will give you some information about 
directions and distance to your destination.
  Now, Blind Square in combination with Google Maps gives both. It really 
depends on the user which way is best.
  Nearby Explorer is quite customizable.

hI if you are using the near by explorer for navigation?

And since the maps are down loaded to your phone?

Do they update the maps or is it once you get the app and install it 
and then down load the maps you have them and that is the way they are?

And if you are using the turn by turn spoken directions with this app?

How much vfeed back does it give you like something like google maps to 
compare it to?

Hi
I might try and answer your question.  You have set the work place as a 
favourite, that part seems to be fine.  Did you set up notifications for your 
newly added favourite place as well?  If you do that, you should receive 
updates for your home and workplace as well.  I have a few places set up like 
that, where my son travels to on a regular basis, and I receive the forecasts 
and notifications for those places.  Hope this might solve your problem.

Hi all. I have a question. I live in Clifton Heights but work in Philadelphia. 
When I gto Philadelphia for work, is there a way that I can get weather updates 
for Philadelphia instead of getting updates from home? I added Philadelphia to 
my favorite places but when I'm at work I still get updates about my home area.
