Subject: RE: Brightness set to zero it goes up by itself

Hi Carolyn and others,
Autobrightness is under Settings, General, Accessibility, Display Accomodations.

I just did some experimenting and this is what I found.
I turned off the Screen Curtain and while indoors, and the brightness was at 31 
percent.
I stepped outside to a sunny day and pretty quickly the brightness went to 72 
percent.
I turned on the screen Curtain, and within a very few minutes, maybe 2, the 
brightness was at 0.

So, it does seem to work that way so if you need help from a sighted person, 
and autobrightness is on, turning off the screen curtain should make the screen 
adjust to the light available.

I hope that is useful.

Please don't respond with "thank you," or "you are nuts" without contributing 
more information so as to stick with Mark's request to cut down on the one-line 
messages.

I can confirm this as well. Turning on auto brightness along with the screen 
curtain always turn the brightness down to zero. You can verify this by looking 
in the control center at screen brightness when both auto brightness on screen 
curtain are on it should read 0%.

Bluetooth uses such a tiny amount of battery power that it is quite safe to 
leave it on. Of course if you never ever use any bluetooth devices then by all 
means turn it off, but I have an Apple Watch, occasionally want to use my 
bluetooth keyboard or bluetooth speaker/headset and I just don’t want to have 
to turn it on each time I need it. I wonder how many people turn off WiFi when 
they go out for a while, it certainly uses a lot more battery than bluetooth if 
it’s on and you are not using it.

One thing your friend will want to check as well is make sure Bluetooth is off

used that Bluetooth is enabled and I have to disable it.

Hi Shawn,

 

I also must disagree here, you probably turned it on at some point early in the 
beta cycle and forgot and it is of course also entirely possible that in the 
final public release this was changed, but everybody else who says it is not on 
by default is correct, instead you are asked during the setup of iOS 12 if you 
want to turn it on just like you are asked if you want to enable SIRI or turn 
on location services.

As Richard pointed out, often people say Yes to things or tap on “Turn On” 
because they think if things are on it’s better than if when they are off and 
they don’t even register what they are turning on.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Even though I am running 12.0.1, maybe my old iPhone 6 is too old to take 
advantage of this feature. I have tried increasing screen value both from 
within the control pannel and settings, both with screen curtain on and off 
when I change the value, and it never says the value returns to zero when I 
turn screen curtain on. Restarting did not help. I may experiment to see if my 
battery drain is worse with the value set higher and turning on the screen 
curtain to see if it really is lowering the value to zero and simply not 
changing what VoiceOver reads. In the meantime, it isn't all that hard to 
change it in control pannel when needed. I am glad this feature  works for some

Re: Brightness set to zero it goes up by itself

2018-10-21 Thread Arnold Schmidt

Even though I am running 12.0.1, maybe my old iPhone 6 is too old to take 
advantage of this feature. I have tried increasing screen value both from 
within the control pannel and settings, both with screen curtain on and off 
when I change the value, and it never says the value returns to zero when I 
turn screen curtain on. Restarting did not help. I may experiment to see if my 
battery drain is worse with the value set higher and turning on the screen 
curtain to see if it really is lowering the value to zero and simply not 
changing what VoiceOver reads. In the meantime, it isn't all that hard to 
change it in control pannel when needed. I am glad this feature  works for some 
of you.

Well, well... You learn something new every day I guess.
Nifty feature I wasn't aware of.
One thing though, I’m noticing that with auto brightness turned on and after I 
turn the screen curtain off, brightness will go up to whatever percentage 
depending on ambient brightness, but when I enable the screen curtain, the 
brightness doesn't go back to zero.
Can anyone else confirm this?
This would be my concern with the battery draining if I were to use this 
feature since it's so easy to turn screen curtain back on and not bother about 
checking brightness

I believe the feature where screen brightness was set to 0% automatically when 
screen curtain is on was introduced in iOS 11 at some point.

I can confirm this as well. Turning on auto brightness along with the screen 
curtain always turn the brightness down to zero. You can verify this by looking 
in the control center at screen brightness when both auto brightness on screen 
curtain are on it should read 0%.

Hi all,
I thought I saw someone post on here that you could get an adapter with 
a male lightning port that went to two female ports.
This would be so I could charge my phone and use the lightning ear buds 
at the same time.


TIA.

Siri Not Working After Updating to 12.0.1

2018-10-21 Thread Mike B.

Hi All,

A friend just updated his iPhone 8 Plus and Siri hasn't worked since doing 
so.  Sounds / volume are at 100% and all other settings would indicate that 
Siri should work.  When prompting to do something the info appears on the 
screen, but Siri isn't verbalizing any of it.  Can anyone help with his 
problem?  All help will be appreciated.  Thanks much.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

RE: New mesh router and my thoughts on switching WiFi

Thanks, and yes, I do indeed know this, I have done my own networking both at 
home and at my retail store for the last 20 years and while I am perfectly 
happy to connect just about everything wirelessly there, at my business I still 
use more of a wired network. I bought a Cisco 24-port business grade switch 
some years back which also includes 12 POE ports should I ever want to switch 
to a Voip phone systems where the deskphones require both connectivity and 
power. It’s very noisy with a loud fan, but it’s tucked away in a little room 
upstairs where I keep my modem, switch, our current old Nortel phone system KSU 
as well as the PC which acts as our file server and which will soon get 
replaced with a Synology DS918+ 4-bay NAS unit.

It sounds like you chose a great router. You may already know this, however, 
that one port you said is free at the moment, well, if you need to turn that 
into more than one, just buy a good switch with the number of additional ports 
you might need. Happy networking, and if you have any questions just ask.

Subject: New mesh router and my thoughts on switching WiFi

Hi,

I thought I briefly share this experience. I recently bought two Netgear Orbi 
mesh routers, one Home edition and one Pro/Business edition for my retail store.
Nowadays having a robust WiFi network is essential especially if you have some 
home automation devices and are moving towards more home automation. Things 
like the ring Video Doorbell or Skybell HD Video Doorbell are installed outside 
the house and even in a relatively normal sized home the WiFi signal outside 
the fron tdoor may not be the best if the router is located in the office on 
the other end of the house as it is the case for our house. Of course at my 
retail store the problem is worse since it is quite a bit larger, it has two 
floors and the outside of the wall in back has metal siding which doesn’t help 
the signal. I had a traditional WiFi extender before and while it is set up 
upstairs right against the outside wall and the Ring Video Doorbell is 
basically just below it and maybe 10 feet over, we had nothing but issues and 
even standing outside with my phone I often only showed 1 bar on the WiFi.
So, 2 days ago the Netgear Orbi home came, I purchased the version which comes 
with 1 satellite and in the description it says that this package should be 
good for a home up to 5000 sqft. Our house is significantly smaller, but I set 
up the main unit near the modem where our fibre connection terminates which is 
in the office at the very back of the house and it’s about in the middle when 
you look at the house from left to right. The satellite I put in the kitchen 
which overlooks the entry hall, it’s probably about 35 or so feet from the main 
unit and all the way on one side of the house. This unit is also only maybe 10 
feet away from our entertainment stand with the TV, our Apple TV and my wife’s 
TV box for getting The Filipino Channel. It is also super close to the front 
door where our video doorbell is and just outside the wall is our deck off the 
kitchen.
After I finally figured out how to configure the routers we are now getting 3 
out of 3 bars everywhere in the house as well as outside both on the deck, in 
front and in the backyard and suddenly it is actually quite quick and easy to 
answer the Ring Video Doorbell which before often would just sit there saying 
“Loading”. I had a Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 router before which is a very 
high-end unit with 6 antennas, but it doesn’t even come close to the 
performance of the Netgear Orbi.
The Orbi has an app which is quite accessible and the web interface where you 
can do quite a lot more is also very accessible from what I have seen so far. 
The main unit has 4 ports, one is your Internet connection where you connect it 
to your ADSL, cable or fibre modem and there are 3 ports to hook up devices. I 
am using one for our Philips Hue bridge, another to plug in one of my Sonos 
players and I am currently not using the third, at some point I plan to get a 
NAS unit for at home and then I’ll need it for that. The satellite unit which 
looks identical has also 4 ports, all are ethernet ports where you can plug 
stuff in if you want.
Here at home I use WiFi for pretty much everything, my laptop, printer as well 
as the Apple TV and my wife’s Filipino channel set top box. These could all be 
plugged in, but much easier without cables. All our other stuff needs to be 
wireless anyways, but I did find out how much of a pain it is to change WiFi 
networks, here is what we all had to reconnect to the new WiFi n

RE: Orbit Reader

No,
I don’t have one yet.  I’ve ordered it today, and since they have a money back 
return policy if you are not satisfied, I know I can send it back in a few 
weeks if I don’t like it.
The list seems rather responsive to questions and not very busy otherwise.

RE: Brightness set to zero it goes up by itself

Hi Carolyn and others,
Autobrightness is under Settings, General, Accessibility, Display Accomodations.

I just did some experimenting and this is what I found.
I turned off the Screen Curtain and while indoors, and the brightness was at 31 
percent.
I stepped outside to a sunny day and pretty quickly the brightness went to 72 
percent.
I turned on the screen Curtain, and within a very few minutes, maybe 2, the 
brightness was at 0.

So, it does seem to work that way so if you need help from a sighted person, 
and autobrightness is on, turning off the screen curtain should make the screen 
adjust to the light available.

I hope that is useful.

Please don't respond with "thank you," or "you are nuts" without contributing 
more information so as to stick with Mark's request to cut down on the one-line 
messages.

Richard

I can confirm this as well. Turning on auto brightness along with the screen 
curtain always turn the brightness down to zero. You can verify this by looking 
in the control center at screen brightness when both auto brightness on screen 
curtain are on it should read 0%.

Re: New mesh router and my thoughts on switching WiFi

2018-10-21 Thread Arlene

It sounds like you chose a great router. You may already know this, however, 
that one port you said is free at the moment, well, if you need to turn that 
into more than one, just buy a good switch with the number of additional ports 
you might need. Happy networking, and if you have any questions just ask.

  Subject: New mesh router and my thoughts on switching WiFi

  Hi,

  I thought I briefly share this experience. I recently bought two Netgear Orbi 
mesh routers, one Home edition and one Pro/Business edition for my retail store.

  Nowadays having a robust WiFi network is essential especially if you have 
some home automation devices and are moving towards more home automation. 
Things like the ring Video Doorbell or Skybell HD Video Doorbell are installed 
outside the house and even in a relatively normal sized home the WiFi signal 
outside the fron tdoor may not be the best if the router is located in the 
office on the other end of the house as it is the case for our house. Of course 
at my retail store the problem is worse since it is quite a bit larger, it has 
two floors and the outside of the wall in back has metal siding which doesn’t 
help the signal. I had a traditional WiFi extender before and while it is set 
up upstairs right against the outside wall and the Ring Video Doorbell is 
basically just below it and maybe 10 feet over, we had nothing but issues and 
even standing outside with my phone I often only showed 1 bar on the WiFi.

  So, 2 days ago the Netgear Orbi home came, I purchased the version which 
comes with 1 satellite and in the description it says that this package should 
be good for a home up to 5000 sqft. Our house is significantly smaller, but I 
set up the main unit near the modem where our fibre connection terminates which 
is in the office at the very back of the house and it’s about in the middle 
when you look at the house from left to right. The satellite I put in the 
kitchen which overlooks the entry hall, it’s probably about 35 or so feet from 
the main unit and all the way on one side of the house. This unit is also only 
maybe 10 feet away from our entertainment stand with the TV, our Apple TV and 
my wife’s TV box for getting The Filipino Channel. It is also super close to 
the front door where our video doorbell is and just outside the wall is our 
deck off the kitchen.

  After I finally figured out how to configure the routers we are now getting 3 
out of 3 bars everywhere in the house as well as outside both on the deck, in 
front and in the backyard and suddenly it is actually quite quick and easy to 
answer the Ring Video Doorbell which before often would just sit there saying 
“Loading”. I had a Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 router before which is a very 
high-end unit with 6 antennas, but it doesn’t even come close to the 
performance of the Netgear Orbi.

  The Orbi has an app which is quite accessible and the web interface where you 
can do quite a lot more is also very accessible from what I have seen so far. 
The main unit has 4 ports, one is your Internet connection where you connect it 
to your ADSL, cable or fibre modem and there are 3 ports to hook up devices. I 
am using one for our Philips Hue bridge, another to plug in one of my Sonos 
players and I am currently not using the third, at some point I plan to get a 
NAS unit for at home and then I’ll need it for that. The satellite unit which 
looks identical has also 4 ports, all are ethernet ports where you can plug 
stuff in if you want.

  Here at home I use WiFi for pretty much everything, my laptop, printer as 
well as the Apple TV and my wife’s Filipino channel set top box. These could 
all be plugged in, but much easier without cables. All our other stuff needs to 
be wireless anyways, but I did find out how much of a pain it is to change WiFi 
networks, here is what we all had to reconnect to the new WiFi network:

  4 Amazon Echo speakers

  Honeywell Lyric T5 thermostat

  Ring Video Doorbell

  Apple TV

  Filipino Channel Set top box

  My iPhone, my wife’s iPhone and the laptop (those were easy)

  HP Officejet Printer

  2 Nest Protect smoke alarms

  Withings/Nokia Body Plus smartscale

  Sonos and Philips Hue just worked as they are wired

  I should get the Netgear Orbi Pro next week, then I can have some more fun 
doing the same thing at my store although here most of the computers are wired 
as is the larger Officejet printer, but we do have 5 Dropam (now Nestcam) 2 
WiFi thermostats, a Skybell HD which by the way even on the current WiFi works 
way bettter than the Ring Pro we had before.

  Then there are 4 of the Meross smart wall switches I just purchased and which 
work great with a super-accessible app and setup process as well as two Amazon 
Echo speakers.

  I really look forward for these Netgear Orbi mesh routers to

RE: useful free apps

Hi,
I would add a little to this.
Taptapsee is great for identifying patterns on clothing and for identifying 
objects without worrying about a barcode.
Seeing AI is great for Product bar codes if you can find them and, of course, 
if that is supported where you are.

But, none of them are very good at color.  Color depends so much on lighting, 
the type of light, that it is very difficult to get very accurate color with an 
iDevice's camera.

That is where Be My Eyes would likely be better since you are connecting with a 
human who can tell you if you need to get more light on something to know the 
color.  That is of course, if they are not color-blind.  Hopefully, they would 
tell you if they are.

Richard

Hi Anthony,

Normally I would send this message privately, but by posting it to the list I’m 
hoping it will reinforce the message from our moderator Mark which he sent on 
October 16, just 5 days ago and where he points out that sending these 
basically one liner thank-you messages is really not necessary. It just adds a 
lot of unnecessary traffic to a list which already has a fair amount of daily 
messages. Anyways, below is Mark’s message again for all those who missed it:

Mary,

No problem if you have enabled two-factor authentication and also set-up a 
trusted phone number.
I only have one iOS device and no mac, so I don't have other devices to receive 
verification codes on.
However, since I have verified my sim and phone number it works fine.

I recently performed a full reset of my iPhone 7 and I was very curious to see 
how that would go since I use two-factor auth and no other devices to get a 
code on to verify my identity.
However, no worries.
Here is were the trusted phone number came in and I entered my apple id 
credentials and it connected to apple servers and no problem with two-factor 
auth since it automatically discovered that the sim and phone number on this 
device is set-up as a trusted phone number in two-factor auth of my apple id.

looking in the control center at screen brightness when both auto brightness 
on screen curtain are on it should read 0%.

RE: Battery issues with new iPhone 8

Bluetooth uses such a tiny amount of battery power that it is quite safe to 
leave it on. Of course if you never ever use any bluetooth devices then by all 
means turn it off, but I have an Apple Watch, occasionally want to use my 
bluetooth keyboard or bluetooth speaker/headset and I just don’t want to have 
to turn it on each time I need it. I wonder how many people turn off WiFi when 
they go out for a while, it certainly uses a lot more battery than bluetooth if 
it’s on and you are not using it.

Hi Shawn,

I also must disagree here, you probably turned it on at some point early in the 
beta cycle and forgot and it is of course also entirely possible that in the 
final public release this was changed, but everybody else who says it is not on 
by default is correct, instead you are asked during the setup of iOS 12 if you 
want to turn it on just like you are asked if you want to enable SIRI or turn 
on location services.
As Richard pointed out, often people say Yes to things or tap on “Turn On” 
because they think if things are on it’s better than if when they are off and 
they don’t even register what they are turning on.

Sieghard

Mary,

No problem if you have enabled two-factor authentication and also set-up a 
trusted phone number.
I only have one iOS device and no mac, so I don't have other devices to receive 
verification codes on.
However, since I have verified my sim and phone number it works fine.

I recently performed a full reset of my iPhone 7 and I was very curious to see 
how that would go since I use two-factor auth and no other devices to get a 
code on to verify my identity.
However, no worries.
Here is were the trusted phone number came in and I entered my apple id 
credentials and it connected to apple servers and no problem with two-factor 
auth since it automatically discovered that the sim and phone number on this 
device is set-up as a trusted phone number in two-factor auth of my apple id.

Mary,

 

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 7 to an iPhone 8 which I purchased directly 
from Apple. Both of these models were Verizon phones. First, if your ordered 
your iPhone XR from T-Mobile, won't it come with its SIMM card already 
installed so you don't have to fool with transferring a SIMM from your old 
phone to your new one? I know that was the case with my new iPhone 8. I don't 
remember having to do anything with 2-factor authentication when setting up my 
new iPhone 8. I used that feature introduced with iOS 11 I believe that lets 
you hold the old phone near the new one to transfer settings and then I 
restored an iTunes backup to the new phone. I don't recall it asking me to 
2-factor authenticate anything but if it did, it was done on the new phone 
without any issues.

 

I hope some of the above makes sense.

It s been along time since I ve had to deal with either getting a new phone or

phone is that you have to put the Sim from your old phone into your new phone 
in order to get the process of getting your phone up and running started. I

to do with needing to have two devices on the same network or something, so

I can confirm this as well. Turning on auto brightness along with the screen 
curtain always turn the brightness down to zero. You can verify this by looking 
in the control center at screen brightness when both auto brightness on screen 
curtain are on it should read 0%.

I do agree with James, some apps I use and find useful may be of no interest to 
somebody else. Also, I believe Anthony is in Europe somewhere, forgot exactly 
where, but this would also mean some apps which are available in the US may not 
be available there. Certainly a list of things he wishes to accomplish would 
help with suggestions. One very important app which should be near the top of 
all lists is Seeing AI from Microsoft, also Be My Eyes if you want sighted 
assistance from an actual person and there are of course apps for communication 
like Whats App, Skype and Facebook/Facebook Messenger. Also the Google app is 
useful as is Tap Tap See for identification of objects.

Hi Shawn,

I also must disagree here, you probably turned it on at some point early in the 
beta cycle and forgot and it is of course also entirely possible that in the 
final public release this was changed, but everybody else who says it is not on 
by default is correct, instead you are asked during the setup of iOS 12 if you 
want to turn it on just like you are asked if you want to enable SIRI or turn 
on location services.
As Richard pointed out, often people say Yes to things or tap on “Turn On” 
because they think if things are on it’s better than if when they are off and 
they don’t even register what they are turning on.

RE: Deleting podcasts from podcast app

OK, sorry, I take it back, apparently you can't migrate Podcasts directly from 
the Apple Podcasts app to another Podcast app, another strike against Apple. 
Here is information from an article and the link to the article below:

Migrating Your Podcast Subscriptions

For an Apple user, importing all your podcast subscriptions is likely the most 
tedious part of switching. Overcast does have a way to import previous 
subscriptions using an Outline Processor Markup Language (OPML) file, but 
unfortunately, Apple wants to make this difficult for you. The Podcasts iOS app 
doesn’t have an export OPML feature, so you’ll have to log in to iTunes from 
your computer, export it, send the file to your iPhone, then import into 
Overcast.

For the superfans with tons (even hundreds) of podcast subscriptions, you’ll 
likely need to go this route to save you some time.

I, however, took this as an opportunity to scrub my subscriptions. Admittedly, 
I hadn’t done a Spring Cleaning of my podcast subscriptions in awhile, so I 
figured I’d manually migrate only the podcasts I listen to every week and then 
add new ones in my typical manner.

I Finally Made the Switch from Apple Podcasts App to 
Overcast

RE: useful free apps

I do agree with James, some apps I use and find useful may be of no interest to 
somebody else. Also, I believe Anthony is in Europe somewhere, forgot exactly 
where, but this would also mean some apps which are available in the US may not 
be available there. Certainly a list of things he wishes to accomplish would 
help with suggestions. One very important app which should be near the top of 
all lists is Seeing AI from Microsoft, also Be My Eyes if you want sighted 
assistance from an actual person and there are of course apps for communication 
like Whats App, Skype and Facebook/Facebook Messenger. Also the Google app is 
useful as is Tap Tap See for identification of objects.

Mary,

No problem if you have enabled two-factor authentication and also set-up a 
trusted phone number.
I only have one iOS device and no mac, so I don't have other devices to receive 
verification codes on.
However, since I have verified my sim and phone number it works fine.

I recently performed a full reset of my iPhone 7 and I was very curious to see 
how that would go since I use two-factor auth and no other devices to get a 
code on to verify my identity.
However, no worries.
Here is were the trusted phone number came in and I entered my apple id 
credentials and it connected to apple servers and no problem with two-factor 
auth since it automatically discovered that the sim and phone number on this 
device is set-up as a trusted phone number in two-factor auth of my apple id.

Mary,

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 7 to an iPhone 8 which I purchased directly 
from Apple. Both of these models were Verizon phones. First, if your ordered 
your iPhone XR from T-Mobile, won't it come with its SIMM card already 
installed so you don't have to fool with transferring a SIMM from your old 
phone to your new one? I know that was the case with my new iPhone 8. I don't 
remember having to do anything with 2-factor authentication when setting up my 
new iPhone 8. I used that feature introduced with iOS 11 I believe that lets 
you hold the old phone near the new one to transfer settings and then I 
restored an iTunes backup to the new phone. I don't recall it asking me to 
2-factor authenticate anything but if it did, it was done on the new phone 
without any issues.

I hope some of the above makes sense.

RE: Battery issues with new iPhone 8

Hi Shawn,

I also must disagree here, you probably turned it on at some point early in the 
beta cycle and forgot and it is of course also entirely possible that in the 
final public release this was changed, but everybody else who says it is not on 
by default is correct, instead you are asked during the setup of iOS 12 if you 
want to turn it on just like you are asked if you want to enable SIRI or turn 
on location services.
As Richard pointed out, often people say Yes to things or tap on “Turn On” 
because they think if things are on it’s better than if when they are off and 
they don’t even register what they are turning on.

Sieghard

I know you said he doesn't have any apps running, but he should turn off the

I'm going to assume this wasn't right after updating to iOS 12.0.1, because as

I’m writing this on behalf of a friend who’s not on this list. He recently 
purchased an iPhone 8, and he is finding that his battery is not lasting well 
at all. For instance, overnight with the screen locked and nothing running in 
the background, he went from 100% to 43%. I seem to recall somebody saying that 
resetting network settings helps, although I don’t understand why it should. 
And I assume although I just did ask him in an em

Re: useful free apps

2018-10-21 Thread Gerardo Corripio

I’ve been using several months Voice Recorder Pro, but there’s a free version 
over at
Grabadora de voz (notas) de Lin Fei
https://itunes.apple.com/mx/app/grabadora-de-voz-notas/id492995106?mt=8
It’s so intuitive and easy to for instance, cut, and perform other editing 
functions like mix, and fuse several audios together. Yes I tried and have 
bought several plug-ins for audiomemos, but it’s not as easy and precise as the 
app I’m talking about. Hope this helps some.

RE: Upgrading to a new iPhone with two factor authentication

I am not sure, but if it has been a long time you may have 2-step verification 
set up which is slightly different from 2-factor authentication.

Read the below Apple support article, it seems that if you had 2-step 
verification that you may have automatically been upgraded to 2-factor 
authentication when you started using iOS 11, but I'd follow the steps outlined 
to check this and make sure.

If you are at all worried and if 2-factor authentication is what is indeed 
turned on you can always turn this off temporarily and once you have your new 
iPhone all set up turn it backon.



Switch from two-step verification to two-factor 
authentication

Sieghard

HI Mary,

Go to settings then double tap on your name. then flick to security and 
password and double tap. Under the two-factor authentication find the trusted 
phone numbers heading. Find the edit button then double tap. Swipe until you 
hear add trusted phone number if you don't have one already.

iOS is the most consistent operating system I’ve ever dealt with so these kinds

I can confirm this as well. Turning on auto brightness along with the screen 
curtain always turn the brightness down to zero. You can verify this by looking 
in the control center at screen brightness when both auto brightness on screen 
curtain are on it should read 0%.

It's of course up to you, but if you want a more satisfying Podcast experience 
use Overcast, it's free and way easier to use with more features.

Hi Chantal, 

Many thanks for your reply, it has helped .  I am stil  struggling a bit with

RE: Naming Faces in Photos

Martin is correct, there is such a feature, but I would say it is not something 
which is accessible for a completely blind person since you have to first tap 
exactly on the face of the person in a photo which you want to name. A Quick 
Google search resulted in the following Apple article about this feature:

About people in photos on your iPhone, iPad or iPod 
Touch

Here is most of the text from that article:
The Photos app recognizes the faces of people in your photos and groups them 
together. You can give names to faces, mark your favorites, and explore all the 
photos that a person appears in.

Here's how it works
Sort your images by your favorite subjects — the people in your life. The 
Photos app uses advanced computer vision to scan all of your photos and 
recognize the people, scenes, and objects in them. Then you can see the best 
photos, videos, and Live Photos of each person in your collection. Depending on 
the number of photos you have, you can watch a Memory movie of them too. And 
when you have iCloud Photos turned on, the people you favorite or name stay up 
to date on all of your devices running iOS 11 or later and macOS High Sierra or 
later.

Find your friends in the People album
Photos organizes the images of your family and friends in your People album. 
You'll see a face thumbnail for each person your device recognizes.
1. Open the Photos app.
2. Tap the Albums tab.
3. Tap the People album.

Want to see even more People in your album? Just open a photo of someone that 
you want to add, then swipe up to see a thumbnail of that person under People.
Tap on the thumbnail. Tap Add Name, then type the person's name (or tap the 
name if Photos suggests it). Tap Next.
If the app has found that person's face in any other photos, it shows them to 
you. Confirm the photos that you want to associate with the name, then tap Done.

Name a face in the People album
Put a name to a face
Add a name to your photos to help keep your library organized. Photos 
intelligently suggests names from your Contacts or you can enter one yourself.
1. In the People album, tap the face that you want to name.
2. Tap Add Name at the top of the screen.
3. Select the person's name, or finish entering it. If you're using iOS 11 or 
later, tap Next.
4. Tap Done.

Sometimes, the same person is identified in more than one group. To merge all 
of the photos under one group, tap Select, then tap all of the thumbnails that 
show the same person. Tap Merge at the bottom-right corner.
Groups also merge if you give them the same name.

Regards,
Sieghard

There is a way to name faces.

I did it again the other day but can’t remember again how I did it.

Somewhere the is a button that says something like ‘unamed face.
There you can write the persons name.

Then when flicking through your picture it will say picture conatins Martin.

When I sus it out I’ll e-mail you all.

But it’s not labelling it’s actually naming the face.  IOS will then recognise 
other pictures with that face.

Hi all,

I want to include an app that I use all of the time for reminders besides 
Fantastical. It is called OmniFocus. I can't remember how much it costs to 
download but to unlock the pro version is $59.99. It is so winnderful! It 
workis on the iPad and iPhone without having to purchase it twice. I recommend 
this app.

Another app I want to recommend is Dyoung One. It is a journal app. I can't 
remember again how much this costs.

Everyone have a blessed day.

Thanks, Maria. It turns out I do have a trusted phone number, the same one that 
is my mobile phone number. So, I guess I will be OK. If I put the Sim in the 
new phone when I get it, when it comes time to set things up, hopefully the 
code will come through to that new phone, and  everything will be good.

 It�s been along time since I�ve had to deal with either getting a new 
 phone or using two factor authentication. What I remember from the last 
 time I bought a phone is that you have to put the Sim from your old phone 
 into your new phone in order to get the process of getting your phone up 
 and running started. I also remember some problems with two factor 
 authentication in the past, having to do with needing to have two devices 
 on the same network or something, so that I could get a message on one 
 that would then be typed into the other one in order to continue with the 
 process. Does anybody know of documentation somewhere that spells out just

Re: Upgrading to a new iPhone with two factor authentication

2018-10-21 Thread Mary Otten

It has been along time since I set up my two factor authentication. I honestly 
don’t know if I have a trusted phone number. How can I find out and if not, 
where can I go to set that up?
Thank you.
Mary

RE: Battery issues with new iPhone 8

In my experience, especially with iOS, people don’t always catch what is said 
and accidently turn things like Screen Time on or think they have to use a 
passcode because they missed the passcode options button, when updating.
iOS is the most consistent operating system I’ve ever dealt with so these kinds 
of variations are usually user created.

This could be called a PBCAS, (Problem between Chair And Screen) grin.

I know you said he doesn't have any apps running, but he should turn off the 
background app refresh anyway and see how things go.

I'm going to assume this wasn't right after updating to iOS 12.0.1, because as 
others have noted, the battery drain can be large for the first day or two 
after an update.

I’m writing this on behalf of a friend who’s not on this list. He recently 
purchased an iPhone 8, and he is finding that his battery is not lasting well 
at all. For instance, overnight with the screen locked and nothing running in 
the background, he went from 100% to 43%. I seem to recall somebody saying that 
resetting network settings helps, although I don’t understand why it should. 
And I assume although I just did ask him in an email, have you rebooted the 
phone? Other than those two things, is there anything else he can do?

Mary,

No problem if you have enabled two-factor authentication and also set-up a 
trusted phone number.
I only have one iOS device and no mac, so I don't have other devices to receive 
verification codes on.
However, since I have verified my sim and phone number it works fine.

I recently performed a full reset of my iPhone 7 and I was very curious to see 
how that would go since I use two-factor auth and no other devices to get a 
code on to verify my identity.
However, no worries.
Here is were the trusted phone number came in and I entered my apple id 
credentials and it connected to apple servers and no problem with two-factor 
auth since it automatically discovered that the sim and phone number on this 
device is set-up as a trusted phone number in two-factor auth of my apple id.

RE: Battery issues with new iPhone 8

Screen Time was on on mine, but I turned it off. I did not turn it on. It must 
have come with the update to 12.

Hi. Screen time is on by default when you upgrade to iOS 12. So if he doesn't 
know that, it is on.

I know you said he doesn't have any apps 
running, but he should turn off the background app refresh anyway and see how 
things go.

I'm going to assume this wasn't right after 
updating to iOS 12.0.1, because as others have noted, the battery drain can be 
large for the first day or two after an update.

Subject: Battery issues with new iPhone 8

I’m writing this on behalf of a friend who’s 
not on this list. He recently purchased an iPhone 8, and he is finding that his 
battery is not lasting well at all. For instance, overnight with the screen 
locked and nothing running in the background, he went from 100% to 43%. I seem 
to recall somebody saying that resetting network settings helps, although I 
don’t understand why it should. And I assume although I just did ask him in an 
email, have you rebooted the phone? Other than those two things, is there 
anything else he can do?

HI.

i believe that in the latest couple of iOS updates, if you have the brightness 
set to auto and turn your screen curtain on, it will set the brightness to 
zero. If you turn the screen curtain off, it will automatically turn up the 
brightness. this is very handy, cause if I want to show someone sighted 
something, I don’t have to keep going in and turning the brightness up and then 
down again.

Mary,

No problem if you have enabled two-factor authentication and also set-up a 
trusted phone number.
I only have one iOS device and no mac, so I don't have other devices to receive 
verification codes on.
However, since I have verified my sim and phone number it works fine.

I recently performed a full reset of my iPhone 7 and I was very curious to see 
how that would go since I use two-factor auth and no other devices to get a 
code on to verify my identity.
However, no worries.
Here is were the trusted phone number came in and I entered my apple id 
credentials and it connected to apple servers and no problem with two-factor 
auth since it automatically discovered that the sim and phone number on this 
device is set-up as a trusted phone number in two-factor auth of my apple id.

Hi folks 
Could someone send me a list of useful free apps that I can download from the

Mary,

No problem if you have enabled two-factor authentication and also set-up a 
trusted phone number.
I only have one iOS device and no mac, so I don't have other devices to receive 
verification codes on.
However, since I have verified my sim and phone number it works fine.

I recently performed a full reset of my iPhone 7 and I was very curious to see 
how that would go since I use two-factor auth and no other devices to get a 
code on to verify my identity.
However, no worries.
Here is were the trusted phone number came in and I entered my apple id 
credentials and it connected to apple servers and no problem with two-factor 
auth since it automatically discovered that the sim and phone number on this 
device is set-up as a trusted phone number in two-factor auth of my apple id.

But, that would be a good thing to ask on the OR20 list or contacting APH

Re: Deleting podcasts from podcast app

2018-10-21 Thread Flor Lynch

I deleted the Podcasts app a week ago because, unknown to me, it had kept 
all the downloads of a particular podcast for the last two years (which 
amounted to 15 Gb of data)! In my investigations however, I hadn't found a 
easy way to delete a full podcast. (Deleting individual shows in that event 
sure would've been time-consuming.) I like Overcast; but my favourite 
podcatching app is called RSsRadio, which has even more features than 
Overcast and is very accessible. (It's now - as of iOS12.xx - at version 7).

Hi Judy,
To delete a podcast from the podcast app go to your library tab and find the 
shows button. Double tap on that and flick until you hear edit. Double tap. 
Then find the podcast you want to delete and swipe up until you hear remove. 
If there is a confirmation double tap on delete. Then go to the done button 
at the top of the screen and double tap it.

the Podcast app and all in all it just works, sorry, Steve Jobbs, that

I generally speaking feel that if Apple has an app which works really

Re: Deleting podcasts from podcast app

Hi Chantal, 

Many thanks for your reply, it has helped .  I am stil  struggling a bit with 
the app and cannot do everything you said.  In settings it is set to delete 
after a podcast has been played, and this is not happening.

I have deleted some podcasts though, and for this I thank you very much.

Re: Upgrading to a new iPhone with two factor authentication

2018-10-21 Thread Øyvind Lode

Mary,

No problem if you have enabled two-factor authentication and also
set-up a trusted phone number.
I only have one iOS device and no mac, so I don't have other devices
to receive verification codes on.
However, since I have verified my sim and phone number it works fine.

I recently performed a full reset of my iPhone 7 and I was very
curious to see how that would go since I use two-factor auth and no
other devices to get a code on to verify my identity.
However, no worries.
Here is were the trusted phone number came in and I entered my apple
id credentials and it connected to apple servers and no problem with
two-factor auth since it automatically discovered that the sim and
phone number on this device is set-up as a trusted phone number in
two-factor auth of my apple id.

RE: Naming Faces in Photos

2018-10-21 Thread 'Martin Maidment' via VIPhone

There is a way to name faces.

 

I did it again the other day but can’t remember again how I did it.

 

Somewhere the is a button that says something like ‘unamed face. 

There you can write the persons name.

 

Then when flicking through your picture it will say picture conatins Martin.

 

When I sus it out I’ll e-mail you all.

 

But it’s not labelling it’s actually naming the face.  IOS will then recognise 
other pictures with that face.

I don’t know of a way to “name your face”, I assume what he has done was do a 
2-finger double tap and hold and simply give the picture a label just as you 
can label a button or home screen icon with this method and it will oly label 
that pictutre. Also, the label or name will not stick if you send this picture

Re: Battery issues with new iPhone 8

2018-10-21 Thread Andy Baracco

It is not on by default. After upgrading you then have the option to configure
it.

I think it gives you the option to set up later, after updating.

Hi. Screen time is on by default when you upgrade to iOS 12. So if he doesn't
know that, it is on.

I recall seeing an article somewhere that screen time actually does eat

not turn it on. Why the heck would you? Well I guess that answers obvious. But
anyway, I’m sure his is off, and I suspect you were right about getting a
replacement.

But, if he is losing that much over night at this point, he needs to talk
with Apple about a replacement.
That is crazy. My iPhone SE hardly loses anything over night.
Nor, my 8 plus for work.

I know you said he doesn't have any apps running, but he should turn
off the background app refresh anyway and see how things go.

I'm going to assume this wasn't right after updating to iOS 12.0.1,
because as others have noted, the battery drain can be large for the first day
or two after an update.

HTH,

Subject: Battery issues with new iPhone 8

I’m writing this on behalf of a friend who’s not on this list. He
recently purchased an iPhone 8, and he is finding that his battery is not
lasting well at all. For instance, overnight with the screen locked and nothing
running in the background, he went from 100% to 43%. I seem to recall somebody
saying that resetting network settings helps, although I don’t understand why
it should. And I assume although I just did ask him in an email, have you
rebooted the phone? Other than those two things, is there anything else he can
do?
