Re: Transferring Files to a New Phone
Hi Richard, I don't know about BARD books as I am in Canada, but I have found the same thing is true for Kindle books. I have had to redownload my Kindle books after upgrading to a new phone. The Kindle library info is preserved but to read any book, you have to redownload it. I hope this can be improved in the future, or, if it has already been improved, please let me know.

You can make a note of it, and you can then add a brief description to your photo, so if you ever have to access that picture, a brief description will be with it.

As Mary says though, anytime you're getting a description from another source, even if it's a sighted person, it isn't going to be free of interpretation. Reminds me of a friend of mine in college who was helping me pick out a greeting card. She told me she would just describe the card to me and wouldn't be subjective at all. Later on she described a card as "yucky yellow." We had a good laugh over that, but I didn't get that card. For those who don't want any kind of interpretation of a description coming from an AI, I wonder what they would consider an acceptable description. I'd find it interesting if someone took a response from Be My AI and then sterilized it into what they would find acceptable.

I appreciate that none of you know me personally and like me have no idea what I look like. However, at my request a friend of mine took a picture of me recently when we were in what we call in the UK a pub. I was very interested in the results I obtained when asking Be My AI to describe the photo. It’s description was: The man in the picture has a fair complexion and a sturdy build. His hair is short and appears to be a mix of gray and black, and he has a full head of hair. His eyes are partially closed, and he has a somewhat stern or serious expression on his face. His nose is prominent and he has full lips. He is clean-shaven. He is wearing a dark-colored polo shirt with a collar. The shirt has a small embroidery on the right side of his chest that reads "Samuel Smith" in a cursive font with gold thread. The shirt appears to be of a comfortable fit. The lighting in the picture is focused on him, making him the central element of the image. There is no additional information provided about the man, such as his name or what he is doing in the pub. What interested me most is that this is the closest we can get to a sighted person looking in a mirror. The other thing that struck me was the description of my expression. I had never really thought about expressions but I suddenly thought are expressions learned or natural. How far do our expressions mirror those of sighted people. I didn’t feel serious at the time, and if Be My AI’s description of my expression was accurate then why would I look serious? Do our expressions really express our mood as sighted people’s do? Not really an Apple question admittedly but an interesting subject. Apologies in advance for the off-topic post but I would be most interested in your opinions.

After some much needed sleep and a very pleasant and productive day, I decided to attempt to resolve the Hulu issue, yet again. Bottom line: I resolved the problem and have restored my Hulu / Disney Duo Premium subscription at a rate of $19.95 per month. The solution? Apparently, the Disney Plus servers and the Hulu account servers are not exactly in sync. In short, this means that although the Disney Plus servers registered my new account, said account was only partially populated on the Hulu account servers which, as it turns out, are still being updated with that of Disney Plus. As a result of this account population glitch, the Hulu servers, at least those accessed by the Apple TV app, were, effectively, returning two diametrically opposed results to my login attempts; (1) the account is valid and (2) the account is not valid. As expected, this caused the app to freeze. Solution? (1): from the Disney Plus website, force all device log-ins to be rejected. (2): Not just delete the Hulu apps from Apple TV but clear the app cache, first, before deleting the apps from Apple TV. (3): From the Disney Plus website, change account email address, preferably to an email with a different domain than that of the original email address.

Re: One Question to Paramount Plus Subscribers
Yes there is a lot more shows and movies that have the Audio Description track to them, but it is still a small percentage of the shows. Until we have better laws to enforce this, it will be a long time before we see a bigger percentage of Audio for shows in general. Dave On 11/5/2023 9:28 PM, Cristóbal Muñoz wrote: Figurative term...

Until the bill is passed and the president signs it to make our laws up to date that won't happen. As it looks like it may not pass the senate for another year. The FCC has gone as far as they can and the bill is setting there to be passed, which is number s2494, but as close as we are to the end of the year for bills to be passed I have my doubts. Then the information and bill will have to be put back on the table for the Senate to pass and be signed by our president.

Re: Siri continues to be the dumbest of all dumb assistance.
I've had Alexa start telling me about something that we are talking about, when she hasn't even spoken to. Her name was not referenced in anyway.

We have a lot of Sonos speakers in the house, the one in our bedroom does not have the microphone and so does not support Alexa. IN our Kitchen we have two that do have the microphone and have one timer set up called "Carol's Timer" which is for steeping her tea. This morning, standing in the kitchen next to the speaker, I said, "Start Carol's timer," and Alexa responded, "Bedroom doesn't support that."

Re: Issue With Spectrum Mobile App Accessibility
Good Morning: You are having the same problems that I had a year ago with the Spectrum App. Their Tech's have no accessibility training with these applications. They only want to sell the settopbox. I had a tech out at that time on a line problem and he didn't even know about Voice Over. At that time I decided to try a Fire Stick before going to the Apple TV and the Spectrum App wasn't even in the App Store. If you wished to use a Fire Stick you had to break Amazon's Security. Spectrum's App doesn't work at all on an Apple TV. The only way to hear Audio Description was from their library, not from live streaming. That forced me dto change to an Apple TV and go to Direct Streaming. You can find out a lot more information from the adp-list, which is an email list on the acblists.org web page.

Re: Saving stuff from someone else's phone
Hi, Are both phones iPhones? If so, then I think you could use "share" and "air drop" to do this. The basic idea would be to select things, say a group of photos, then use the Share option and pick "air drop". You would need to set the air drop permissions so the two phones can talk to one another the way you want. I hope this gets you started. I am assuming here that the two iphones are not using the same Apple ID. If they are, then there may be an easier way to do this using iCloud.

Re: Phone Link for Windows 11

It is available for both Android and iOS. A link to the Microsoft page concerning Phone Link is at the end. The app is called Link to Windows. I don't have it all figured out, but here is a start. Phone Link for Windows seems to remember where you last were in the program. So, if you exit the app while on Messages, focus will be on the New Message button when you start it again. If you were on the Calls tab, it will start with your call history. I left Phone Link on messages, so when I launched it, Jaws speech history shows: SplashScreen loading Phone Link New message Button If I shift tab from the New Message button, I hear: Features Secondary Features Settings.

The focus with Jaws lands on the End Call button, or if your phone is handy you can do the standard two finger double tap to hang up.

I can't say for certain that it is not a VO problem, I haven't studied it closely. If I am interested in a given thread, which I decide by listening to the subject, then I'll open the thread and go to the "message" option anyway since I will want to look at all the emails in the thread.

Re: I Continue to Appreciate the Accessibility of Apple Home Kit
Steve how many heat pump and furnace usits do you have running for the home? I have 2 unitsd in my home 1 for upstairs and 1 for the downstairs. I have an Ecobee Smart thermostat for upstairs and downstairs. You can ask for the upstairs temperature or downstairs temperature or the temperature in the home. If upstairs temperature is ask for you receive the temperature for that floor, and the same for downstairs. If you ask for the home temperature from either thermostat you will receive an average temperature. There are additional sensors which help to keep the temperature the same throughout the house. Dave On 8/6/2023 3:17 PM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: I think this brand was also mentioned in the iMore review I just posted. I am also curious if anybody on the list has a mini-split heat pump system with multiple indoor heads. We just installed such a system and it's fantastic as we now get air conditioning as well as heating and with temperatures climbing higher and higher each year it seems the air conditioning is definitely a nice option. However, as there are 4 independent units in the house (bedroom and living room upstairs as well as our guest bedroom and family/rec room downstairs) a single thermostat somewhat defeats the purpose although I believe you can link the units to various smart thermostats. At this point it's not a critical issue because each unit comes with a remote control and for the most part you just need to turn it on and then there is a toggle like a volume rocker where you can turn the temperature up or down. Of course the temperature is displayed on the remote so I haven't checked yet if an app like Seeing Ai can read it. There is also an app, the system is from the company Daikins, and while I have figured out how to use the app it is certainly not what you could call accessible. The installer helped me to figure it out, I was able to label a few unlabelled buttons and the labels also seem to stick, so like I said, it's useable for changing temperatures and so on, but I definitely still have to contact the developer and see if they are open towards improving accessibility. I assume it might be possible to link each unit's built-in thermostat to an external smart thermostat, but if I needed to buy 4 smart thermostats that could get pretty expensive. I am intriqued by the option to add room sensors to the Ecobee Premium or the Honeywell T9, but I have to find out if it would be possible for the Ecobee to then turn on any of the 4 indoor units independently if it receives a signal from the sensor in that room That of course would be amazing, but it might be too much to expect.

Re: Siri’s selective hearing problem still prevails at the end of the iOS 16 cycle
Richard I gone so far as to reset the modem and router when this happens, but it doesn't help. The problem is there isn't a problem with any other device at the time of these events. I have many devices including 2 desk top computers and the internet doesn't even slow when this happens. That's why I know that it is with the Weather Server from Apple and Siri. I have a programming engineer in the family who has had this happen with their Siri as well when in the middle of a large programming job, and it doesn't slow down his coding computer. Before IOS 16.0 it may happen at a certain time of day. After IOS 16 it can come at anytime of the day without any warning at all. Reboot of the device doesn't change anything either. We just have to go about our business and when it decides to clear up we can use it again..

Re: Time to screen lock?
Hi, This can also happen if you have "low power mode" turned on. Check Settings / Battery to see the low power status and turn it off if it is on.

Re: magic tap turns on music not in my library
Hi, Infrequently, this happens to me. In my case, I am not an Apple Music subscriber. The music that is getting played by the "magic tap" is part of a free U2 album that was included in an earlier version of IOS. The IOS upgrade added the music whether or not you wanted it. Thus, it is music that IOS knows about. This erroneous magic tap action is now infrequent but when it does happen, I simply do another magic tap to stop it and carry on doing what I was trying to do. You might be able to ask SIRI what song is playing when this happens. If it says it's a U2 song, then this may well be what is happening to you.

It used to be that sometimes doing a two finger double tap would trigger a song in my library to start playing. You know, you are listening to a BARD book and too much time passes after a pause, so a two finger double tap starts a song, rather than starting the book again because the screen locked. Anyway, I’ve noted in the last month or so that I’m now hearing songs that aren’t in my library and I don’t know why are where they are coming from. The first song that plays was some sort of pop or hip hop song I’ve never heard of. The newest one is a blast from my 1980’s childhood, but still not one in my library or that I’ve ever pulled up on this phone. Anyone else having this?

Re: are there any replacements for these apps please?
Hi, I'm not aware of any apps to do what you want but I use Shokz (formerly Aftershokz) bone induction headphones for the very same thing. They leave your ears open so you can hear your surroundings as normal while you hear the audio from your phone through the bone induction headphones. They work very well, especially when outdoors.

Re: Any tricks for dealing with attachmnts?
Hi, I use an iphone, Voiceover, and the regular IOS email app for this. I use the regular "forward" function to do this. Once I hit forward, I am asked if I want to include the attachments. I choose include". Then, I edit the body of the new email and delete the original text, including the forwarding info, typing in whatever I want to send with the email. Then, I edit the subject line to what I want and send the email. The recipient gets my email with all the original attachments. I think this would do what you want. Good luck.

Re: Deleting Apps on the se2020
Hello, I am late to this discussion so I may be repeating things others have said earlier. I assume you are running the latest version of IOS, IOS 15.5, and you are a Voiceover user. Here is how I delete apps. 1. Flick to the app you wish to delete. 2. Flick up till you reach the "edit" option and double tap it. 3. Flick down till you reach the "delete" option and double tap it. At this point you should get a screen that offers the "remove" option, an explanation of the remove function, the "delete" option, and an explanation of the delete function. 4. Double tap the "delete" option. Placing yourself in "edit" mode, step #2, is key to this operation. I hope this helps. If it still doesn't work then I suggest you power down your phone then turn it back on. Sometimes, this can clear up odd errors.

Re: question how to stop my i pad and i phone saying the word soashel after some folders and before you flip to diffrentpages on the screen.
Hello, This sounds suspiciously like an old problem that arose in IOS 14. I don't recall the exact details but it involved the repeated word getting assigned to the "page identifier" on the home screen. This is the item that says "1 of 5" or however many home pages you have. The fix, as best I recall it, is to focus on the page identifier then edit its label with the 2-finger double tap and hold gesture. The repeating word should show up as the label. Replace it with a space and save it. I hope this gives enough information to let you fix the problem or let someone else who can recall all the detail stepsremember them. Good luck.

Hi, The gesture to bring up "quick settings" is: 2-finger quadruple tap You can pick the settings you want in your quick settings in the Voiceover settings under "quick settings", much the same as you choose what is added to your rotor.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gesture to do so. Yes, if you don’t turn it back to another setting on your router it will turn on and off very very easily. I like the idea of putting it in quick settings if I can access it quickly. Thanks.

Re: IPHONE SE 2022 AND CONVERTING AN EMAIL INTO A TEXT
Hi, Here's the way I do it on my iphone. There are likely other and better ways to do it as well. 1.Open the email in the Apple Mail app. 2.Turn the rotor to "text select". 3.Flick down to the "select all" option then flick right. 4.Turn the rotor back to edit and choose "copy" 5.Open the Messages app and prepare to send a new message to the person you want. 6.Again use the rotor to go to edit then choose the paste option. 7.Send the message.

Re: How to delete large chunks of text?
Hi, You can do this using the Voiceover "text select" feature. Try this when you are in your edit field: 1.Position the edit cursor at the beginning of the text you want to delete. 2.Turn the rotor to "text select". Note that you must first add Text Select to your rotor in Settings/Accessibility/Voiceover/Rotor 3.Flick down to choose the amount of text you want to select, character, word, line, etc. For your purpose, choose "word". 4.Now flick right to select that amount of text. In your case, a word. 5.Continue to flick right to select all the words you want to delete. Note that you need to select (highlight) text to do a bulk delete. 6.If needed, flick left to unselect a word. 7.Once all the desired text is selected, move the rotor away from the text select option. 9.Tap the delete key on the on-screen keyboard. 10.If you made a mistake, you can always use the "undo" option in the "edit" rotor option to bring back the text you just deleted. This sounds complicated but it actually goes quite easily once you are used to the process. I hope this helps.

Sometimes you have to delete the first few letters one by one, but usually once you do then doing a double tap and hold on the delete button will work. This, by the way, has nothing to do with 3D Touch, that was when you pressed harder on a button to generate different responses and it's been replaced by double tap and hold for the most part. Another approach is to turn the rotor to Text Selection, then swipe down and make sure it's set to words and then, if you are at the end of a block of text, swipe right to left to select the text you want to delete word by word, when you are done tap delete. If you want to delete all that is there use Select All and then delete.

It used to be that if you had a bunch of text like in a text message that you wanted to delete, you could just go to the end of it and press on the delete button and it would rapidly delete all of it. Now it seems that you have to press delete on every letter. This is a real pain and I'm hoping someone will tell me a wonderful work around for this. Thanks much in advance.

Re: Take Learning To the Next Level! Announcing 2022 Digital Cafes
Hello, The organization is called "The Tech Juggernaut" and you can learn all about them from their web site at Ttjtech.net I have taken courses with them and can attest they are excellent instructors. All instructors are either low vision or totally blind and so, they know whereof they teach. Their courses focus on using Voiceover with IOS 15 and iPad/OS 15. They also cover the Mac, the Apple watch, and the Plle TV. Along with free classes and Cafes, they offer several for-pay services and offerings. Yes, there will certainly be a time zone difference for any live Zoom based sessions as you are in the U.K. However, almost all of their classes are recorded and uploaded to Youtube so you can always review classes at yur own time once the classes are uploaded. At least one of their courses, "More With the Mac" is actually presented as Youtube video classes with a separate live interaction session via Zoom regularly scheduled. If you are looking for solid training in IOS and Voiceover for Apple products, you will get it here.

Re: Did anyone experience an abundance of spoken punctuation after upgrading to iOS 15?
Hi, I ran into this problem when I updated to IOS 15 on my iphone 8. It turned out to be a problem with the "activity" option in Voiceover. I had an old activity which got activated that had verbosity settings that caused all punctuation to be spoken. I deleted that activity and my normal Voiceover settings took over again. Note that in IOS 15, many more Voiceover options can be set in an "activity".

Re: iCloud space
Hi, Go to: Settings / your-name / icloud / manage storage / change storage plan Then choose the plan that suits your iCloud storage needs. This becomes a monthly subscription charge to your Apple account. Note - if you do not already have an iCloud storage plan, you may not get the "change storage plan" option but you will get something comparable. I do currently have a storage plan so I don't know the exact way it is presented to brand new subscribers.

Re: My keyboard is gone
I have heard that the "sheet grabber" icon near the top of the screen on some apps can actually cause the on-screen keyboard to be hidden. I think it acts as a toggle. Perhaps this has been double tapped by accident and the on-screen keyboard is no longer visible. Try double tapping it again and see if the keyboard returns. It's a long shot but who knows?

Re: AfterShokz headset question
Hi, I have to agree with the others here. I have had very good results with the Open Comm and those I called all said they could hear me fine. To confirm this, I called two people using both the Open Comm and my Trex Titanium and they both said it was much clearer with the Open Comm. At first, it did take me a bit to realize that the boom actually turns from back to front. When I first got them, the boom arm was turned back to lay along the side of the Open Comm. I had to rotate the boom arm to come around to the front and then all went well. I'm wondering if perhaps you tried them with the boom arm still turned back on itself. This would have put the microphone back behind your ear and would have produced a poor signal. Just a thought. Otherwise, perhaps you ended up with a defective set.

Re: AfterShokz headset question
Hi, I find the Open Comm head band to be very comfortable, more so than the band on my Trex Titanium. Just how flexible it is I can't say for sure as I did not need to try to alter it. I think the microphone does deliver a better result than other models. It is at the end of a pivoting boom arm and thus is closer to your mouth. The boom arm also contains a secondd microphone which is used to do some noise cancellation functions. This really helps deliver a clear vocal input signal when you are in a loud or noisy environment.

Hi, If by "soft keyboard" you mean the "IOS on-screen keyboard" then yes. On the Logitech K480 keyboard, F3 will bring up or hide the on-screen keyboard. Note that you need to press the IOS button on the keyboard for this to work. There are two small buttons near the upper right corner of the K480 just below the slot that can support a tablet or iPad, one for IOS keyboard mode and one for PC keyboard mode. At the moment I forget which is which. They are side by side and much smaller than the regular keys on the keyboard. Hope this helps.

Re: APPS already on my phone redownloading
Hi, This sounds like your "offload unused apps" option is turned on. When it is on, IOS will offload an app if it is not used within a certain time frame. Its data is retained but you will need to download the app again before using it When an app is offloaded, the "in iCloud" wording is usually immediately after the app name. This feature is meant to help those whose phones are almost out of available memory. The setting is under: Settings/Appstore/Offset unused apps. Hope this helps.

Re: How to Stop Music That is Playing
Hi, This usually happens when you use a "magic tap", which is a 2-finger double tap. I am guessing that when you tried the 3-finger double tap, it registered as a 2-finger double tap. When music starts to play, simply do another 2-finger double tap and it should stop.

Several times now I have somehow accidentally tapped on something & the last song I played starts playing. I can see a box on the screen & moving my finger around the box gives me all sorts of info except stop. I can’t even find a mute button. App switcher does not contain the app playing the song so no way to stop it there either. I have had to turn my phone off & back on. Surely there is an obvious, better way that I am missing. Also, any ideas as to what could have accidentally started music playing? The music icon is at the very bottom right of my screen so I would have to make a deliberate choice to tap there.

Re: Adding items to rotor
Hi, Assuming you are asking for an iPhone or iPad... Go to: Settings/accessibility/voiceover/rotor Here you will get alist of all of the rotor options you can add. Double tap on any you wish to add to your rotor. You should hear "selected" when you double tap an option. To remove a selectedoption, just double tap it again. You can also reorder the options on the rotor to your best advantage. IOS will also add some context-sensitive options to the rotor depending on what you are doing at any particular time. For example, the "edit" rotor item will appear on the rotor any time you are editing information but it will not be there if you are not in edit mode. Also, apps can add their own items to the rotor depending on how they have been programmed. For example, the Pages app will add a number of items to the rotor relating to formatting options.

Re: Free Calendar App?
Hello, The app is called "vo calendar". It is a simple calendar app designed to work with Voiceover gestures. It displays the current week's events in a simple list format. At the bottomof the screen are four buttons: "settings", "Other month", "previous week", and "next week". Double tap on the day of the week to get a simple list of events for that day. At the end of the list of events is a "enter new event" button, a "back" button, and a "record memo" button. Adding a new event will walk you through entering the partofthe day, the hour, the minutes, and a text description for the event. Double tapping an event willallow you to alter the test description, the part of the day, the time,move the event to another day,or delete the event. The app does not support repeating events, alarms,alerts,or reminders. It is a simple calendar app but it is very easy to use and integrates with your IOS calendar. Itcan be used along with the IOS calendar app or other calendar apps like FantastiCal. I hope this helps.

Re: Switching between emails organised by theme
Hi, If you are asking about how to move among emails in a thread using the IOS Mail app, then: Note - for a bluetooth keyboard, use the normal short cuts for the gestures described below. 1. Double tap the thread header message in the in-box. This will present all of the emails as if they were one long message. Normally, you are positioned on the text of the first message but occasionally, you are positioned in the email header info of the first message. 2. Turn your rotor to the "messages" option. This is an automatic rotor setting that IOS will add to your rotor when you open a thread. 3. 1-finger flick up or down to move among the email messages in the thread. Voiceover will read the start of the message based on yur "preview" value for mail. 4. If you need to read more of the email message then 1-finger flick right or left. Once you do this, the rotor is automatically moved to the "actions" setting for that email so, you will have to again turn it to the "messages" setting to move to the next or previous email in the thread. An alternative way to work with the messages in a thread is to "expand" the message thread header. 1-finger flick up on the header email and double tap the "expand" option. This will then present each message in the thread as a separate email in the in-box. You can then navigate them as normal. I hope this helps.

Re: iPhone directions.
In similar situations, SIRI has not done what I thought it should re opening apps. It turned out to be that the apps I was trying to use were offloaded from my phone. I have the setting turned on that allows IOS to offload an app if it has not been used in a while. SIRI cannot trigger the download of an app in this situation and generates a "something is wrong" or "I can't do that" type message. . Perhaps this might be the situation here?

Re: configuring an iphone for a new user
Hi, Here are a few settings I adjust when doing initial IOS training. Once the student has an initial knowledge, I alter some of these. I am referring to IOS 14.x here. 1. Turn on "Do Not DisturB". This will prevent notifications from disturbing the class. If your phone also had cell service, it would prevent phone calls from disturbing you as well. Settings / Do Not Disturb 2. Turn off "Autolock" by setting it to "never". This prevents the student's phone from locking every few minutes while in the class. Settings / Display & Brightness / Autolock Note - you may want to reset these two items after the class if the student will be taking the phone away with them. 3. If the student is a Voiceover-only user, turn on the "screen curtain" to save some battery usage. 3-finger tripple tap 4. If Voiceover is being used, make sure "hints" are turned on. Settings / Accessibility / Voiceover / Verbosity / Speak hints 5. If Voiceover is being used, set the Voiceover volume so both the instructor and the student can hear it. If in an area where you need to be quiet, consider using a splitter so two sets of earpods or headphones can be used at the same time. Volume buttons or add "volume" to the rotor 6. Set SIRI options to display its responses and your spoken inputs. This will help the student while learning to use SIRI. Settings / SIRI & Search / SIRI Responses 7. If cell service is available, set the phone option to use "full screen" for calls. This avoids the difficulties for beginners in dealing with the one-line display mode on calls. Settings / Phone / Incoming calls 8. Initially, set typing style to "standard" when working with the on-screen keyboard. Once the student is comfortable with the on-screen keyboard you can introduce the other typing styles. Settings / Accessibility / Voiceover / typing / typing style There are likely other settings one could adjust. Much depends on the model of phone, the IOS version, the usage the student will make of the phone, and their current level of knowledge / skill with it.

Re: Upgrading Iphone 7
Hi Doug, An iPhone 7 can run IOS 14.x so if you attempt to upgrade it, IOS 14.5.1 would get installed. IOS only upgrades to the latest version. If support for your Instapot was broken in IOS 14 and you want/need to use the Instapot app, then don't upgrade. I have read about the problem with Instapot dropping support for the bluetooth version of the Instapot. Is this what you are running into or is there a separate problem with the app for Instapot? I have heard that the WIFI model Instapot is working OK but that does not help all those who bought the bluetooth model and the WIFI model is more expensive. One last thought - I'm sure you've done this but make sure you have "automatic updates" turned off on your iPhone 7 to prevent the upgrade to IOS 14.5.1.

Will it simply reject the most recent update or install a previous update it can handle and that will still allow instapot to work? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

They can deal with the call by tapping that one line notification for the call. We can do this with Voiceover also but it is somewhat awkward. A more useful alternative is to alter the default setting for the Phone app. If this is your situation, you can reset the Phone app to its former behaviour where it will use a full screen for the call information.

Re: Keypad After Receiving A Call
I checked this and all is well, but my problem is that the keypad disappears after only a few seconds of answering a call. I have to continually tap a number to keep the keypad showing on screen. also the blacking out way too fast when trying to enter pin numbers etc. On 4/24/2021 5:49 AM, Caitlyn Furness wrote: thanks, I am having this problem as well, will try this fix and see how we get on.

With Talking Tuner, you do not need to select a note. You simply pluck a string and the app will identify what the note is and whether it is flat or sharp. No pre-selection of notes involved.

Re: New App called Musicsmart
Hi, >From looking at this app, it seems it only works in conjunction with an Apple >Music subscription or a Spotify subscription. Is this correct? Can you use >this app to obtain the type of information about songs and albums without >having one of these subscriptions? If so, how? Thanks, Dave Clement Winnipeg MB On Mar 14, 2021, at 5:57 PM, Sandy Finley wrote: I recently learned about an app that I think might interest many members of this list. It is called Musicsmart. The app has liner notes from thousands and thousands of albums from my mispent youth. It certainly does not have everything; we both like a lot of fairly obscure folk music and those albums, while listed, do not have as much information as I would like. But it has a lot of interesting information, such as who did covers of various songs, when things were released and, most of the time, lyrics. The app costs $1.99 and I find it to be quite accessible. Sandy Finley Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
