RE: Face I.D

[Les Kriegler]

Hi Simon,
Okay, no problem. I have done that a couple of times. I have an appointment at 
an Apple Store fairly close to where I live on Wednesday, When I explained the 
issue I was having, the rep with whom I spoke suggested that my problem could 
be with the front facing camera and that it might need to be replaced. So, I 
will test with a technician and we will go from there. Have a good weekend.
Best,

Les

I meant that you can delete your current face id settings and re do face ID 
without having to wipe the phone and start setup from the beginning 

 Easier than going through the entire setup again.

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks. Well, I thought I had this all figured out, but I'm still getting 
inconsistent performance with face I.D. I think my only option is to completely 
erase the phone And start over, or swap out my phone. If I erase the phone and 
re-set it up and that does not resolve the issue, I'll have to do this a second 
time. I've spent considerable time on this issue, and I'm leaning toward 
replacing the phone. I can be holding my phone in the exact same position and 
it will work, then stop working with the message, try again. If anyone has 
other suggestions, I'm open to them. With Covid concerns, I may not be able to 
swap via curbside, but we'll see about that one.
Best,

Hi Wayne,
I appreciate your response, as well as the many recommendations from others on 
this list. I think I finally figured it out! I was holding the phone the same 
way as I do when navigating the screen. My wife encouraged me to hold the phone 
vertically. I can best describe it as the phone being absolutely straight in my 
hand. Holding it in this manner and away from my face now results in Face I.D 
working every time. Now, I've had false positives before, but I really think 
I've cracked it! Again, I really appreciate everybody's suggestions. Simon, you 
mentioned an attention setting which I will look at. As of now, the difference 
is night and day!

Mine works about 90% of the time. I hold my phone like I'm on a Facetime or 
other video call. I do have issues with turning my head the right way when

until I hear the ding to approve the purchase/download. Perhaps an SE phone

Re: Following in native Twitter app

[Joy Cyr]

When I follow an account I tap  on the profile, and find the follow button 
between the profile picture and the account's blurb.  I'm doing this on the 
phone so I just start at the top and swipe right a few times until the follow 
button comes up.  If there is a way to follow without first going to the 
profile I'm not familiar with it (which definitely does Not mean there isn't 
one).  I am very fussy about the accounts I choose to follow so I usually 
prefer to go to their profile first any way.  If you are using the Phone app 
than you can also follow when you are on a tweet.

Hope that may help.
Joy

Searching in the Instacart App

Hi All,

I don't know what I am missing, but I can't find where to search in the 
Instacart app to add something to my cart.  I do not see a Search tab at the 
bottom like I believe there used to be.

The one time I did find a search button, it took me to a page listing all of 
their sales.

Thanks for any help.

RE: Question About Adding SiriusXM to IOS Devices

[kitty hevener]

Hi, I have sirius xm and am able to use it from the I phone, computer and echo 
device all at the same time.  I actually installed it on my computer first, 
then got the ap for Iphone.  I had a much more difficult time trying to use it 
on the echo dot.  As I recall, I had to choose "more" from the settings options 
in the alexa ap.  Sadly, I don't recall what I did from there.  But, I think 
there is some type of parental control or something like that which must be 
disabled to the the ap working right.  I hope this gets u started, anyway.

Following in native Twitter app

[William Outman]

Hello. 
I was doing some updating of my account this week and added some follows on 
Twitter. I selected some topics and got some recommendations. I could see the 
account name, labeled profile picture, and follow button, which made it easy to 
start those follows.  
The issue came when I searched for accounts on my own. I could find the account 
and profile picture but no follow button. Found the followers and following 
lists and thought it might be hidden under follows, but no go. Tried the 
connect button thinking maybe following was just under a different name in a 
search, but again no go. 
Where do I find the follow button when I search for an account myself?

Hi Candy,

Cloudbeats is an excellent app but I don't believe it allows you to speed up or 
slow down the audio playback as the original poster requested. If it does allow 
this speed adjustment, I can't figure out where it is.

The same developer has an app called Cloudbeats Audiobooks which sells for 
$6.99 and supports multiple cloud services and allows speed adjustment from .5 
to 3 times normal.

I have plenty of music files in Dropbox.  I use the app called CloudBeats.  It 
costs a few dollars, maybe five dollars, but, I like it very much. I don’t know 
if it is music you are wanting to play, but, if it is, it works well for that.  
You can create play lists, and you can download music to play off line.  There 
are many other features that I haven’t bothered to learn.   Let me know if I 
can be of any more help.

Export the audio file  to Voice Dream Reader. If it's a book with multiple MP3 
files for one book, then you might want to zip the folder that has those MP3 
files in it before sending it to Voice Dream Reader so that it comes out as one 
book instead of multiple books, but you don't have to.

the Anker life core q10 is one of the best sounding bluetooth headphones 
I've ever had for the money. They are big bulky over the ear head 
phones, but you'll get 60 hours of listening and the base is incredible. 
You can pick them up on Amazon for around $40 I believe. they seem to

Steve, how can you like koss headphones?  I had a couple pairs of koss
headphones and they were complete junk.  I had them in a protective case and
was very careful how I used them.  What happened to both pairs, was the
headband which went over my head cracked without warning.  I never dropped
these headphones and was very careful with them.  I treat all my headphones
with care and I have cases for as many pairs as I can.

a wonderful pair of Koss Bluetooth headphone that I'd love to use with
my Fire TV. How do I do this, and if I use the headphone, does that
shut the speakers off? In other words, can I have them both simultaneously?
Once again, if this is off-topic, Kevin, write me off-list.

Hi.

I purchased this speaker originally for my PC, but it still exhibits
the same annoying behavior on other devices. What it does is
gradually increase its volume to what you have the knob set at,
rather than being at that volume. This happens every time there is no
sound playing through, then starts playing a sound. If, like me,
you’re a Voiceover user, this presents a problem. I current have this
speaker paired to my Fire TV in the living room, so usually there’s
sound of some sort coming through it.

Just to let folks know. As the saying goes, “You get what you pay
for,” and in this case it’s true.

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

RE: A Bluetooth speaker that I don't recommend is the Polaroid PBT 530

[Christopher Chaltain]

I have two pair of wired headphones from Koss, and they're among my favorites. 
They've been durable for me, they're both super comfortable and the sound is 
good. I find them to be a good headphone for the money. They also have a 
lifetime warranty on most of their products.

RE: Face I.D

Simon, I am aware of that. If I were to turn off Face I.D, then I would opt for 
the SE. In other words, I wish to use Face I.D.

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks. Well, I thought I had this all figured out, but I'm still getting 
inconsistent performance with face I.D. I think my only option is to completely 
erase the phone And start over, or swap out my phone. If I erase the phone and 
re-set it up and that does not resolve the issue, I'll have to do this a second 
time. I've spent considerable time on this issue, and I'm leaning toward 
replacing the phone. I can be holding my phone in the exact same position and 
it will work, then stop working with the message, try again. If anyone has 
other suggestions, I'm open to them. With Covid concerns, I may not be able to 
swap via curbside, but we'll see about that one.
Best,

Les

Hi Wayne,
I appreciate your response, as well as the many recommendations from others on 
this list. I think I finally figured it out! I was holding the phone the same 
way as I do when navigating the screen. My wife encouraged me to hold the phone 
vertically. I can best describe it as the phone being absolutely straight in my 
hand. Holding it in this manner and away from my face now results in Face I.D 
working every time. Now, I've had false positives before, but I really think 
I've cracked it! Again, I really appreciate everybody's suggestions. Simon, you 
mentioned an attention setting which I will look at. As of now, the difference 
is night and day!
Best Regards,

Les

Mine works about 90% of the time. I hold my phone like I'm on a Facetime or 
other video call. I do have issues with turning my head the right way when 
approving app downloads or purchases. I usually will rotate my face around 
until I hear the ding to approve the purchase/download. Perhaps an SE phone 
would work better for you. It sounds like you're still in the first 30 day
