Re: iPhone, and Bluetooth issues
Hi folks, I’ve noticed this issue for some time and thought it was just me. I’ve tried all the same steps turning off the phone, turning off bluetooth, emptying the app switcher. I tried it with different devices connected and disconnected to the phone. I mostly notice the problem when on phone calls. I miss sections of speech. I also have hearing aids and they are loosing the connection in different ears at different times. Same issues with aftershocks and Bose glasses. I think it also happens when phone is in speaker mode but it is less noticeable. I could turn off bluetooth for calls but I have a medical device connected so prefer not to do that. Anyone come up with a solution? I’m running a iPhone 10S with 16.5.1. Eric Caron > On May 24, 2023, at 8:15 AM, Tom Rash wrote: > > I have a similar problem.

Re: seeking recommendations for accessible in-home mesh network system
Yes, I get software updates on a regular basis. I’ve had the Eero system for about 3 months and love it. But, back to the original poster. I think you would be better off with a separate modem and router. I suspect that if your existing modem is a router and modem in one then it is overdue for replacement Separate units give you more flexibility going forward. Another note, I was using a time capsule for my router and though old it was doing pretty well. I have however added a lot of wifi devices and it was starting to fail. The new Eero Mesh system was easy to set up and when working is rock solid. Everything works more responsibly and more reliably and covers a much larger space. The three unit system is the one I purchased. It is working well with a two year old Netgear modem.

Needed, an app to tell you quickly how fast you are walking
Hi Listers, I need to know if there is an app that tracks your walking speed and can tell you how fast you are walking and adjust as you speed up and slow down. It needs to work more quickly than say Blind square. I’m told an app called motion X did this but is no longer available. Tips and ideas are greatly appreciated.

Re: from BlindSquare: COVID-19 Keeping us indoors, with unique opportunities supported by BlindSquare and NaviLens.
Hi Richard, Is Blind Squaire Event basically the same app as Blind Square just free until November? A trial for those that don’t have the app? I was wondering if it was different as I have not mastered using it for following routes for exploration or for hiking purposes. Also wondering if it is integrating Navilens or they are still separate apps.

Re: Need Help with Generating / Finding Audio Labels for Moving Boxes
Hi Tracey, Thank you for posting the link. As the topic has been brought up. What I’m hoping for is a NFC audio tag recorder and reader. Basically it could use the iPhone to do what the Pen friend does without needing a extra device. NFC is built into the phone and perfect for this application. It is the tech apple uses for Apple Pay in stores and developers have access to it. It is what Wayaround uses only they do text only and also use proprietary tags instead of mainstream tags. They also seem to not be interested in adding audio recording only text. I contacted Digit-eyes about this before COVID19 and I thought they were considering using it but over two monthss have gone by and I have not heard any updates. I also wrote to Way around twice about 6 months apart asking if they would be adding Audio recording. I didn’t get a response. NFC Near Field Communication, I believe has the best solution for audio and text labeling on the iPhone. Navilens has the potential to use the camera to identify it’s tags at a distance. This might be also useful but I think more so for other applications. Still, it works quickly and affordably .

Re: Need Help with Generating / Finding Audio Labels for Moving Boxes
Hi Mark, I totally feel your pain. I really like the Digit-Eyes app but have not used it for years because I can’t get the audio labels to work reliably and easily. I have not found Way Around to be a good solution because the tags need to be ordered and they can be expensive when trying to label many items. More then that, at least, last time I checked, they were not a audio labeler, they only allowed for you to enter text. I find this very limiting. I’m hoping for a better labeling iPhone solution in the future. One interesting app you can look at that is free is Navilense. I hope I spelled that correctly. It was recommended to me as a free audio labeling solution. You print the labels yourself. You can use the sheets you purchased for Digit-Eyes. They are a unique system designed to work for the visually impaired. I must admit they worked very well for me. They are designed for the phone to pick up the label by the camera and do it easily, quickly and even from long distances. they just came out with a second pack of free labels. So perhaps this might be a good solution. I’d love a NFC solution like Way Around to have an audio labeling option and maybe an option for use of less expensive third party NFC tags. I hope this helps. Try the Navilense app and let us know how it goes. Eric Caron > On May 10, 2020, at 7:48 PM, Dave Clement wrote: > > Hello, > > I would recommend using WayAround tags for this.

I’m looking for something that would be useful on say a 100 or 200 mile hike in the woods, say At trail.

Re: GPS Apps for hiking?
I’m looking for info on both established trails but also less established ones. And if a iPhone is not as strong as a designated receiver I’m ok with looking into that. Those with experience hiking with GPS, I’m hoping have some good advice to share.

Re: GPS Apps for hiking?
Thanks folks, Keep the suggestions coming. I’ll try the near by explorer. I had the app but never played with it. I have good coverage so I’ll see if the paid version is worth it if it actually is useful when hiking. I’ve got a lot to learn to see if it is helpful. If other apps might be more useful send the tips my way.

GPS Apps for hiking?

Wifi Assist , a tip that might be helpful
Hi fellow listers, I thought I’d share this. While ordering an iPhone for a family member the Xfinity person mentioned to me that I might want to turn off Wifi Assist. Here is what I learned. In the setting under cellular is a wifi assist option. When on the phone will select the strongest signal wifi or cell. This means if you have a data plan your phone will use data even when wifi is available if the cell signal is stronger. In my case my phone would change to Cell and stay there for extended times. I didn’t know wy and it was frustrating. Once I changed the setting my phone stayed on wifi consistently. If you have unlimited data all good and use the option but, I’m on a shared data plan and I was the data hog without meaning to be. I hope this tip is helpful to others.

Re: Native Mail App Question
Yes, I think there is a way to get to rules in mail. I don’t remember how I did it but I think it is through iCloud on the web. If one can do that using safari through a iOS device then you might be able to set up the mail boxes and rules that way. Certainly not an easy process. I really appreciate the problem solving and info on this list.

Re: Native Mail App Question
Hi Danney, What exactly are you hoping to have happen? And, do you have access to your mail through a computer as well as your iPhone? If you want to have messages from a group such as this go to a specific mailbox that can be done with mail rules in the mail app on a Mac computer. Thats how I sort out several mailing lists. I have done this also in google in the past so I expect most mail applications, at least on the computer can do that. My iPhone in box seems to be following the rules I set up on my computer. I must admit however that I read most list emails on my computer by going to the mail box. I don’t usually do that on my iPhone. Still the messages are getting filtered correctly when I check my mail on my iPhone.

Re: How does your Voiceover pronounce yesterday after the iOS 13.4 upgrade?
Actually, With all the stressors going on I have greatly enjoyed this thread and seeing how my phone is reacting the same or differently. And, you never know, When Apple solves this it might help in preventing or solving other things. On my 10S running 13.4 I hear the T in Yesterday with the Maile Siri voice and not with Alex. I didn’t look beyond that. I just enjoyed the curiosity of it. Please, despite some peoples frustrations keep posting your observations. A little light hearted tech conversation is welcome.

Re: Hygrometer, Talking Unit Found, Info Inside
Hi Sieghard, This is great info. And, this reminds me of how much I’ve missed by being off this list for a extended time. I’m interested in the full set up but plan to download the app to check it out first. Also, waiting for a sale seems like a very good idea. I appreciate the heads up on the mounting issues. I can prepare in advance for locations and materials. I look forward to any other user input, but this seems like a great addition to my home. I do have a Nest thermostat and it gives me inside humidity on the app but not through Echo devices. And outside info is from the web and not very consistent to my real situation.

Mail in Catalina
Hi listers, One thing I have noticed after updating to Catalina is that moving messages to a mail box is slow with mail stating busy and then after a pause finally opening up the context menu and eventually the list to move to a mailbox. Does this improve with time? It has been about a week. Have others noticed this behavior? I do have a lot of accounts and a lot of mailboxes where I organize information.

Re: iphone 8 or XR?
Yes, I set up my thumb, a finger on my right hand and one on my left. But results were very poor. But than again When I needed a background check for my last job I could not get usable fingerprints. I went back 5 times. Finally they gave me special status as I had no usable fingerprints. This was from many months of hands on construction on my home restoration. I liked the idea of the finger print but Face ID is working much better for me. I’m now having similar finger print problems on my Mac. I got it working again but then once I started some outdoor projects my hands got rough and it sopped working. Here is hoping for Face ID for my Mac! Or for using my iPhone to confirm identity on my Mac! Best, Eric Caron > On Mar 18, 2020, at 4:52 PM, Carolyn <4carol...@windstream.net> wrote: > > When I had fingerprint ID, I used my thumb.

Aira free to college students for the remainder of the semester.
Hi listers, It is good to be back on list after being away for a few years. I was recently approved and have been enjoying the helpful information. I’m sure Aira has been discussed in the past. I wanted to post the below as it would be very helpful to current blind college students. I just wish they would also offer it to blind teachers as they are also learning fast how to run on line teaching. Also, if you are planning to join Aira for more than the free 5 minute calls be sure to go through a current user so that you both get additional minutes. Here is the part of the post for college students. Aira is the popular app that connects a trained sighted person to assist a blind person with tasks. I am posting part of a email message below that offers free service to blind college students for the rest of the semester. If you know a student please share as this could be a big help when learning new on line distance learning software. Now if only they offered it to blind teachers as well! One other note. If you are thinking about joining Aira go through a current blind user and both of you will get free minutes to use. Eric Caron Free Offer - College Students in Need of Aira We know that many universities and colleges are rapidly shifting to distance learning. We’ve heard that some materials and software being used are inaccessible so we will be offering free Aira for any college student for the remainder of the spring semester ending in May 2020. If you know of a student who could benefit from Aira for their distance learning, please email supp...@aira.io <mailto:supp...@aira.io> for more information -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: iphone 8 or XR?
Hi Sieghard I was so happy to get a face recognition iPhone for exactly those reasons. Though my Vermont weather isn’t as bad, the wood working and hard use of my hands in projects caused my finger print reader to rarely work. I was often redoing it so it would work for a little while. I have found that I can be subtle when opening my iPhone. As all it has to do is sort of see my face and it clicks on. I have it on the setting that doesn’t require eye contact. Now if only my talking tape measure and audible level could be controlled by my voice that would be great! Is there a email list for blind wood workers out there! Or, maybe those working on vintage cars? One more related thing. I did struggle a little to learn the gestures that replace the home key. I was trying to do them from a podcast description. It took me some practice and I did have some frustration. But, now I prefer the gestures and miss them when using older iPhones.

Re: An Aria Update
And now, we see where politics has gotten injected into this list. Honestly, if I wanted politics, I would go to WorldNewsChat (oh wait, I am already there). Now, if I want to hear about new developments for apps and services and discussion with developers, that was this list, until today. Like some others, I have been a very long time member of this list. Sure, I don’t post much, but I do read a lot. Now, sure, a lot of the blindness vendors have advertised in here periodically, but those ads have been low key and low bandwidth. They have also allowed the opening of a dialog with those vendors on issues that might crop up. I have solved more than 1 problem this way on my iPhone as well as the Android device (data tablet) I have. As a considered thought, if the same application exists across both iOS and Android, then the underlying service being used by us functions without regard to platform. Thus, given that logic, platform for the apps is irrelevant when it comes to functionality and support. Perhaps that needs to be kept in mind. However, given the histrionics I just witnessed, perhaps it’s time I sought support info elsewhere.

Re: Who can tell me about using Twitter???
Well, exactly what issues are you having? I use the twitter app on my iPhone for those times when I need access to certain functions that aren’t available via the 3rd party apps that I use on the Mac machine I have. I don’t much like using the twitter app on the phone because it never presents the feed in a chronological pattern and is chock full of promoted advertisements and suggestions that I don’t want. Anyway, if you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask. -Eric > On Jan 14, 2019, at 9:11 AM, Anthony Vece wrote: > > Hi everyone; > For some odd reason I am having trouble using Twitter. > Are there any podcasts or can someone tell me how to use this app? > Thank you in advance > God bless > Anthony > > Sent from my Verizon iPhone X!!! > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if > you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or > moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.

Re: New mesh router and my thoughts on switching WiFi
Wait till you start using the 60Ghz 10 Gbps capable mesh units that should be getting marketed next year. QWualcomm introduced their new chips with this capability a few days ago. The only real issue I see with such short wavelengths (millimeter waves) is that they can be easily blocked by a sheet rock wall or brick even thick enough cardboard. Still, if you have a mesh network setup outside, then having other units within 100 feet could make for a very fast neighborhood network. :) -Eric > On Oct 19, 2018, at 9:42 PM, Cristobal Muñoz wrote: > > I’ve got a second generation Eero with two extenders for a 3300 SQFT house. > Run two businesses out of it. 4k, TV, regular HD TVs, Fire Sticks/Fire TVs, > Ring Video Pro, desktop/laptops/wireless printer, iOS devices, etc. The one > thing we really don’t do are all that smart speaker/home automation stuff > and yeah, Once you go mesh, you never go back.

Yep. Dependence on technology that only works some of the time can be a real headache. Oh, and Face ID can’t contend with a totally blind person the right way (it’s that stupid attention filter). Still, having a passcode is still the old fallback. Btw, I run an iPhone 7S here.

Re: Please Join Me in Requesting that a new iOS Amazon App VoiceOver List Viewing Bug Be Resolved ASAP
I had posted a response via the other thread. Still, I should probably post the same here. A suggestion: Post a review via the review system in the App Store. Rate it as 0 stars, title it as accessibility bug issue, and in the body, describe the bug and request something be done about it. Additionally (and this thought just occurred to me: share a link to that review on twitter (and include @amazon and the Ceo of amazon in the tweet) and also share a link on there to the facebook page for amazon (as well as on your own timeline). This will make the problem *very* visible to the public and force amazon to have to deal with the issue on an expidited patch cycle. If your posts get deleted, repost them. Keep bugging until something gets done. Btw, this is the method I have used in the past to get other vendors to behave properly Btw, I don’t know if it’s possible, but if you can pull a screen recording in real time of the issue happening and then post it in addition, it will leave very little doubt that there is a problem. Amazon (and others) can dismiss text, but it’s a lot more difficult to explain away video. -Eric > On Aug 31, 2018, at 7:09 PM, M.

Re: Workaround for Amazon app bug was RE: navigating a web dialog in Amazon
Also, You might file a review on the app review system in the App Store, rate it as 0 stars, title it as accessibility bug and fill in details. Because this will make the reports publicly visible, amazon might not get a choice in putting this off. The more negative reviews, the faster they will have to address it.

at that time, I didn't know about the accessibility access dept. It wasn't long after that when I found out.

Re: AppleCare Plus Still Worth It? What's Your Experience?
you are not alone in this regard. I had to fight tooth and nail to get my last iPhone replaced (the battery had expanded and popped off the display). The device was still under applecare warrantee, but they tried to have me pay for a new device. After 3 or 4 people and 2 supervisors, I finally threatened to take the next call and broadcast it via Facebook in live mode. Apparently, this got someones attention as they suddenly became a lot more agreeable and actually sent me out a replacement device at no charge. btw, I had snapped pix of the display and it's separation from the body of the phone for my records. Now, I didn't like having to threaten to create negative publicity, but after 4 hours going round and round with the applecare folks, it was my last resort choice. I hope I never have to go through it again. btw, that was 3 years ago and from what I see here, they still have some incompetent folks working their call center. -eric On May 5, 2018, at 9:56 AM, Alan Lemly wrote: > Hi List, > > I've always been a major proponent of purchasing AppleCare Plus when buying a > new iPhone.

Re: where am I
yeah, that is the problem with a text only media. no real way to tell proper humor. It's a lot like my phone. the only time it's funny is when it thinks that it is traveling around in a loop at 672 mph (all the while, standing still). btw, it takes sound 1.0710275 seconds to travel 1000 feet, so for 2 seconds, it thinks it's going from 1000 feet west of me to 1000 feet east of me. that's just slow enough for me to read it in real time on one of the GPS apps while connected to my braille sense U2. It gets fun watching those numbers move around real fast. -eric On Apr 13, 2018, at 7:56 PM, Jewel wrote: > eric!

Re: where am I
unfortunately, given some "features" of my psyche, some kinds of humor are not comprehended. :( it's part and parcel of being on the asperger's spectrum. It's also probably why it is that I am so good at technology related items. anyway, on the technical end of things, the nearest thing I can figure on the daily (and always inside the same 2 hour window) is that I am seeing a reflection of signal off an aircraft in the aircraft control corridor that exists from here to california. in any case, it makes for an interesting math problem. :) -eric On Apr 13, 2018, at 8:29 AM, Bill Gallik wrote: > That was intended to be a joke! > > > - Bill from Ino, Wisconsin > - Dear Optimist, Pessimist, and Realist, While you guys were busy arguing > about the glass of water, I drank it! > - Sincerely, The Opportunist > > > On Apr 13, 2018, at 10:19 AM, Eric Oyen <eric.o...@icloud.com> wrote: > > um, that is not exactly the way that GPS works.

In order for this "hand off" to occur, there would also have to be interaction from the device to the sats and there just isn't the spectrum space or bandwidth to handle several tens of millions of devices simultaneously. the gPS units on the ground are strictly receivers. -eric On Apr 13, 2018, at 7:12 AM, Bill Gallik wrote: > Given what Eric wrote about his GPS “speed of light” experience, I have to > wonder if Eric is not sitting on the cusp of two separate satellites that are > continually “handing off” his device to each other.

Re: where am I
you should see what happens with my phone sometimes. I will have it sitting here on the desk and all of the sudden, it goes into do not disturb mode. So, I opened up one of the gPS apps I have (Navigon in this case) and left it run. when the Do Not Disturb popped up, I grabbed the phone and checked how far it allegedly moved. Here's the real kicker, for 2 minutes, it traveled 1000 feet to the west at 672 mph, then proceeded 2000 feet to the east at 672 mph and went back and forth like that for 3 minutes. Yet, the phone physically didn't move. The two things I noted about this: 1. the direction was always east and west 2. the speed of transit is always that of a jet aircraft at full cruise I think when it happens again, I am going to call up a friend of mine at sky harbor airport ops and find out if there is any air traffic transiting the space above me at 30k feet going either east or west I have already checked with a ham radio sat tracker program I have here, so I know where the GPS sats are in near real time. If what I think is happening really is, then it would be possible to know when something is overflying my place. :) -eric On Apr 12, 2018, at 11:30 PM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: > GPS accuracy is going to be about 15 feet at best and sitting inside does not > give you good signal quality.

Re: where am I
oh yeah! it is. I use it a lot when I am unsure of my exact location along a residential road. It also helps in some kinds of office parks. Also, you might also want to try out blind square. It can also give you an idea of where you are, and if you highlight a place in the list, it can even give you distance and bearing to the target location. :) btw, I just tried to open the "where the hell am I" app and Siri responded with my exact location instead.

Re: where am I
there is an app called "where the hell am I". It's free on the apple appstore and it works nicely.

Re: Did anyone have problems reading Jonathan‘s article?
Sounds to me like someone at the apple development team thought it would be a good idea to buffer all that text. It sounds like a good idea, until you run up against both the CPU limitations and the memory limitations of your device. At that point, voiceover (which can be resource intensive) will bog down (or fail completely as has sometimes happened). -Eric > On Apr 7, 2018, at 1:02 AM, Anne Robertson <annefromo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I read books from Kobo, and for some months now, the longer the chapter, the > longer it takes VoiceOver to start reading after the command to read from the > top.

Re: API changes will break Tweetbot and Twitteriffic alerts and streaming, Twitter not yet sharing new solution ahead of June deadline | 9to5Mac
By definition, all notifications done by twitter are push notifications. I usually disable that functionality on my end except for DM’s and reply. Unfortunately, their own client has other issues, such as displaying the timeline out of sequence. In fact, I have more than 400 ham friends and I almost never see their conversations because of the numerous promotions and “in case you. Missed it” from influencers. Also, there is no way to set timeline sequencing on my end (it’s all controlled on the twitter side for their client). The web page isn’t much better. I use niteowl here on my Mac and it does display in proper (time based) sequence. This allows me to follow conversations (and I can even filter by subject matter, hashtag or even by user) into separate tabs. I have yet to be able to set up something like this via their website and their client is a freakin joke. Btw, as of this writing, nearly 1 million people started leaving twitter today alone. At this rate, they will have virtually no user base in 1 year. I call their current actions slow suicide. They will cost many jobs, increase costs to other interdependent industries and generally screw everything up on their way down. And oh yeah, my braille sense U2 has lost one bit of functionality (the twitter client in it no longer works as of this last week). So much for the $6k that I spent on an equipment loan over the last 6 years. Oh, and HLMS (the makers of the braille sense line) won’t drop windows CE for any of the older units. It would be. Nice to have an android OS on there. So, we are getting it from 2 sides: twitter fscking us and HLMS no longer supporting some of their older top rated equipment. Add to that Facebook and their unethical behavior and I am seriously beginning to think that social media is becoming a short lived fad. -Eric > On Apr 6, 2018, at 9:04 PM, Maria Reyes <mgreye...@outlook.com> wrote: > > Really?

Re: API changes will break Tweetbot and Twitteriffic alerts and streaming, Twitter not yet sharing new solution ahead of June deadline | 9to5Mac
Yeah, it got them to clarify their position alright. They are still going ahead with the transition, but delaying it’s execution by a couple of weeks. Also, they still have not shared anything on their new account activity API. So, it is likely that all third party twitter clients will be completely broken. Btw, even though there were over 10k tweets containing #BreakingMyTwitter, their website reports several other hashtags trending with no mention to #BreakingMyTwitter at all. Scrubbing, anyone? SO far, the story has been carried by Tom’s Hardware, Cnet and even Cyber Times. Still, the twitter executives refuse to budge on their position. Btw, this will also lock out many blind users of twitter. -Eric > On Apr 6, 2018, at 2:50 PM, Anna Dresner <wadres...@att.net> wrote: > > Thanks for the info, Cristobal.

possible scam purporting to be from apple
Attention all apple product users.. I recently received a couple of calls on my phone purporting to be from Apple Care notifying me of a breach of their cloud services. Finding this a little "phishy", I called apple care directly and discussed this situation with a customer support rep. He reports that this is a phishing scam as apple will not, under all but the most dire of circumstances, call you about such things. They will attempt to notify by email only or they will require you reset your password credentials via their apple ID website. If you get one of these calls, report it to reportph...@apple.com and include any information you can get (such as caller ID info, time of call, etc). It appears that the spoofers are getting smarter and using a VOIP line and caller ID spoofing service to call phones in an attempt to build a list of active numbers for use in other scams (like IRS, your local bank, etc.). anyway, report these calls as you get them. thanks, Eric Oyen -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: IOS 11.3 hits today
ok, who exactly made the announcement? There was no press release from Apple (and they are the only bonified source on this). btw, anyone who works for apple, is a contractor for apple or is a current beta tester for apple are under an NDA and any info they might leak can cause them significant legal trouble (including paying out lots of money for violating said NDA). Now, ZDNet carried a story detailing some of the items proposed in the new iOS 11.3 update, but no actual date was given for release. Until Apple makes that announcement, it's all just rumor. -eric On Mar 27, 2018, at 10:13 AM, Davy Cuppens wrote: > Hi Eric > > The official word has come out, the fact that beta 6 is released is true and > that indicates that ios11.3 will come out in a month or 2 or 3 weeks as > mostly one could guess Apple has between 5 and 10 beta releases. > Regards > Davy > > -Oorspronkelijk bericht- From: Eric Oyen > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2018 7:12 PM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: IOS 11.3 hits today > > it's either likely he is a beta tester or works for an apple contractor. > Either way, he might be in trouble with Apple directly as his info is not > publicly available yet. in any case, treat it as rumor until official word > comes out. :) > > -eric > > On Mar 27, 2018, at 9:25 AM, Daniel Miller wrote: > >> How exactly do you know this?

Re: A bit confused with knowing rather my iPhone is unlocked
well, anymore, I simply point any auto debits to my walmart money reloadable card making sure it has sufficient funds to cover only those charges. That is how I caught another company trying to take more than they were authorized. It was funny when they called me up and threatened to charge me with felony bad check writing. I had to bluntly explain to them that the card in question was a reload type card and if they tried to take more than the agreed payment, that I could charge them with attempted fraud. That shut them up real fast. No problems after that. -eric On Feb 13, 2018, at 7:05 PM, M.

Re: A bit confused with knowing rather my iPhone is unlocked
well, you can demand a copy of your contract and it's effective dates. If the phone is paid off, then it would show up as paid (or your bill would drop). As for unlocking, you will have to take the phone to a local store for that carrier. btw, you can keep your number when you switch carriers. It's called number portability and is in the fCC regulations. btw, if you have your current carrier automatically debiting your checking account remove that permission before switching. I made the mistake of not doing so and I am still fighting with t-mobile 5 years after they stole nearly $400 out of my checking account. -eric On Feb 13, 2018, at 5:36 PM, Terri Stimmel wrote: > Hello everyone, > > > I am a bit confused about rather or not my iPhone SE is already > unlocked, or not. > > > I want to switch carriers, as I just have poor coverage with T-Mobile. > So I was thinking I would just use AT's pre-paid service. > > So last night I called T-Mobile.

Re: best braille display in general
the Braille Sense U2 has a removable battery pack. It's lithium Ion and those things have a pretty long shelf life, but after 5 years, they are starting to wear thin. I could also probably take the battery module over to Batteries Plus and have them rebuild it. That will cost about $80 or so. -eric On Feb 4, 2018, at 8:14 PM, Maria Reyes wrote: > Don't the refreshabraille 18s have the charger already in the port? at least > mine did. > > Maria Reyes > Owner of the Apple 411 list: > apple411+subscr...@groups.io > Click this link to join the Apple 411 WhatsApp group: > https://chat.whatsapp.com/0bMtIrmqoyzJwnbRjqjPsO > > On Feb 4, 2018, at 8:52 PM, Eric Oyen <eric.o...@icloud.com> wrote: > >> I use my braille sense with a silk cover over the unit.

Re: best braille display in general
I use my braille sense with a silk cover over the unit. I can read the braille through the silk. This does 2 things: 1. keeps the cells clean 2. keeps my fingers off the dots (no chance of them getting dirty). The silk cover can be cleaned with woolite or even dawn dish soap. I have had my sense U2 now for 5 years and all cells still work as new. :) I think I will have to order a replacement battery though. the one that came with the unit doesn't hold a charge nearly as long as it once did. -eric On Feb 4, 2018, at 4:53 PM, Eden wrote: > Yes, you must must wash your hands a lot.

Re: problem with ICloud e-mail and windows
um there might be a problem with the app specific password. in order to access your email using a client on iCloud, you are required to use your apple ID password.

I do not understand why there has to be an app specific password. -eric On Jan 27, 2018, at 12:10 PM, M.

Re: a talking timer for ios?
Hi Rob and others, I have my iphone set to never auto lock. I do that as needed. But, that does mean one of the apps suggested would be a good way to go.

Re: object location app
look at "the Voice". I am not sure they have an iPhone app, but they do have Android. It creates a soundscape where higher pitch is upward, lower is downward, objects either to the left or right will appear in the soundscape in that relative position. objects of brighter color or luminosity will be louder. -eric On Jan 7, 2018, at 1:14 PM, pablocmd2...@gmail.com wrote: > Hello all, > I am wondering if any body knows and app able to inform location of objects > on the video.

Re: Apple Apologizes After iPhone Battery Slowdown Controversy | Time
I agree with this. back when I had a windows smartphone on T-Mobile, I had to spend about $480 for mobile speak from code factory. the phone was not accessible any other way and the android flavors at that time had interface issues that broke accessibility rather routinely. So, when Apple not only spread the cost of R across the entire user base, but brought accessibility into the mainstream, they changed the entire playing field. Basically, Google (the creators of Android OS) were forced to do the same thing. So, apple forced the market to accede to user wishes. Sure, Apple made a ton of money at it. So what? that is the function of business, to provide a service or good and at a profitable price. -eric On Dec 30, 2017, at 6:46 PM, Malcolm Parfitt wrote: > Frankly I am rather tired of the Apple bashing that appears to be fashionable > among some members. > > Not all that long ago you had to spend around £150 to add Talks to make a > Nokia device accessible.

Re: AirPods and status bar
Hi, I also recently purchased air pods and I often check the battery life of the air pods and the case by opening the case near the iPhone. The information pops up when the case is open near the phone and goes away when you close the case.

Re: Emoji Research Study; Seeking Blind or Low Vision Participants
um. I might have to ask some questions of you privately about what the NFB has done. I happen to be a member of the nfb, but I am also a member of the ACB and some others. you might find that strange, but I view such organizations as tools for my use. anyway, if you want to chat, you can respond privately to my email. thanks, Eric On Apr 5, 2017, at 5:37 PM, Grace wrote: > I would have loved to help out with your survey however, I won't be able to > as I cannot support the NFB as they actively work against blind people like > myself. > Kind Regards, > Grace. > > On 6 Apr 2017, at 1:12 am, Amelia Keller <ajk6...@g.rit.edu> wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> >> >> My name is Amelia Keller and I am a Master’s Student in Human Computer >> Interaction at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Re: do not update messenger above V100!!!
well, so far as I can tell, it seems that all controls, buttons and edit boxes are where they are supposed to be. there is only 1 unlabeled element: tab 3 at the bottom. What this may sound like is an issue inside the iOS for your particular devices. btw, I ran into similar issues a few months back and backed up my phone to a laptop. then I erased and reinstalled from backup. that set of issues prompt made an exit. sometimes, it just works better to clean out the device completely and restore from backup. this allows the iOS a chance to be installed cleanly. -eric On Jan 21, 2017, at 1:37 PM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: > Hi Jim, > > The Settings button is there when I first open Messenger and I’m in the Inbox > so to speak where all my messages are displayed.

Re: It's true that Eden Kizer has scammed a lot of unsuspecting people
hmmm. it appears that someone claiming to be her over on the HIMS note takers list is trying to contest the accusation, claiming they are being stalked, etc. Here is my solution: if the package was actually sent out, get the tracking number and the address. then, file in small claims to get a judgement. once that is done, file in federal court for interstate fraud (theft by instrument over state lines is interstate fraud). Now, that last can either be placed in civil court (where the standard for evidence is lower) or in criminal court. in either case, it will cost some serious dollars to pursue. The above does assume that someone received a device without paying the agreed amount. If, however, this story is bogus, then the victim of the accusation has their own legal recourse. Now, that I have had my 2 cents worth, might I suggest we retire this subject and let the mods handle it? -eric On Nov 26, 2016, at 1:00 PM, rajmund wrote: > 3 lists, this makes. protomail is easy to create > > Sent fromThunderhbird > > On 26/11/2016 06:09 PM, Shaf Patel wrote: >> Forwareded from another group. >> >> >> >> Forwarded Message >> Subject: Re: [MediaReq] About Eden Kizer's scams >> Date:Sat, 26 Nov 2016 12:48:57 -0500 >> From:Rebecca Sutton via MediaReq <media...@lists.mediareq.com> >> Reply-To:Rebecca Sutton <rebecasut...@bell.net> >> To: Sarah Sans <sarah...@protonmail.com> >> CC: media...@lists.mediareq.com <media...@lists.mediareq.com> >> >> >> >> well I have talked to her and she is a person with a lot of problems.

Re: iPhone questin and how to take that folder or some photos off of your iPhone
hmmm. I am running into a problem with this. there are some photos on my phone (which are also synced to my iCloud drive) and I am not being allowed to delete them. I have tried from the phone to select them in the photos app, only to be presented with a greyed out delete button. I have also tried via the web to get to my iCloud photos library directly, but there doesn't appear to be anything on there. Lastly, I can't seem to get the iCloud drive app in windows 7 to display anything either (presents me with empty folders, even though I know different). and iTunes isn't being very helpful on windows. btw, I can't do a lot of this on my current mac as the OS is too old (plug in the phone and iTunes says that it gets an invalid response from the phone) and iCloud isn't available (because its the upgraded version not compatible with OS X Lion). any help or suggestions I can use? -eric On Oct 9, 2016, at 1:10 PM, Jennie Facer wrote: > Hi Casey, > > You can't use your iPhone like a hard drive.

Re: nfb RESOLUTION [WAS "Re: Let's Play "King of the Mountain""]
and yet, the NFB passed a resolution specifically targeting Apple when apple was clearly the best in the field accessibility wise. I have far less issues with their OS (on the laptop or the iPhone) than I do with the windows machine (using jaws or NVDA or even narrator) At least when an app turns out to be inaccessible on an apple, it isn't apples fault (hell, they published the API for it), it's usually the vendor of the software who decided not to abide by a published API. By comparison, Microsoft and their MSAA is a joke. They don't even pay attention to it half the time (witness windows 8 and 10 respectively). Now, it is true that the NFB has nagged them over the years to resolve this, but what it really took before MS would take this seriously was a lawsuit. And as for google, their attitude toward us of late has been far less than stellar. Ever since they moved the company head ops to India, its been a nightmare. SOme of Googles tools are now so inaccessible that they cannot be used by a blind person on ANY platform (including their own). THere has also been a trend toward going back to some of the older schemes for keeping out bots, etc. These schemes, by their very nature, are completely inaccessible (like visual only capchas, etc.). compared to those, apple has been the best performer accessibility wise. It is unfortunate that they rolled the accessibility testing division (voiceover) into the mainstream development cycle the way they did. It actually created a situation where accessibility now takes a back seat to overall OS development. An example of this is the nasty bug in the dictation routine that they have, so far, addressed. Given all the above, the NFB proposal as passed smacks of a money grab. Sorry to be a wet blanket on those true believers, but thats my assessment. anyway, I think this thread is now to the point of beating a dead horse, don't you think? -eric On Aug 25, 2016, at 2:55 PM, Wayne Merritt wrote: > After reading a few messages on this thread, I submit the following: > To those that say that the NFB hasn't spoken against other major tech > companies, like Microsoft, Google and Amazon: if you look back at the > NFB resolutions since 2009, you will find around 20 passed that were > directed either in praise or disappointment with accessibility > products from Microsoft, Google and Amazon.

um, ok. now that you have devolved into the realm of personal insults…. It seems to me that you have now lost track of the actual conversation (and as a result, lost the argument). I am not going to insult you or do something as inane as that. What I am going to offer is some advice: step back, calm down and take a chill pill. Now, I believe the original intent of this thread was to point out the NFB resolution and how apple and their accessibility figure into this? can we get back on topic? -eric On Aug 25, 2016, at 12:29 PM, Mário Navarro wrote: > > sorry, but I'm not your doctor ... > but I can see perfectly well that you need to change your medication. > > Às 19:01 de 25/08/2016, Dave Mitchel escreveu: >> excuse me? what do you mean by this statement? be careful what I write? >> would you explain this to myself and others on the list? >> I will take into consideration that you may not understand this sort of >> thing could be perceived as a threat. so now please let me know what and how >> this was meant. >> >> >> -Original Message- From: Mário Navarro >> Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2016 10:28 AM >> To: viphone@googlegroups.com >> Subject: Re: nfb RESOLUTION [WAS "Re: Let's Play "King of the Mountain""] >> >> >> >> >> david, be careful what you write ... >> it's just a advice ... >> >> >> Às 17:46 de 25/08/2016, Dave Mitchel escreveu: >>> you have no idea what others have done for themselves and for the blind >>> community. stop your gushing and learn when it is best to keep your mouth >>> shut. >>> >>> Dave >>> >>> >>> -Original Message- From: Mário Navarro >>> Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2016 9:08 AM >>> To: viphone@googlegroups.com >>> Subject: Re: nfb RESOLUTION [WAS "Re: Let's Play "King of the Mountain""] >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> you are of those only has intelligence to criticize what others do for >>> you ... >>> You should criticize less and work more for the cause of the blind and >>> accessibility. >>> instead, you are those who are always waiting for others to do for you. >>> NFB never done anything for you? >>> read this and learn. >>> >>> https://nfb.org/2016-resolutions >>> >>> Às 16:46 de 25/08/2016, Mary Otten escreveu: >>>> Two years in a row, and if he has had resolutions which specifically >>>> called out Apple.

Re: nfb RESOLUTION [WAS "Re: Let's Play "King of the Mountain""]
um. I beg to differ with that. there are times when the NFB (of which I am a member) makes decisions not based on facts, but simply as a means of getting attention. THis appears to be one of those times. Also, apple is the only company that hasn't contributed to the fund that the others have. THis is why they got a free pass when apple didn't . btw, the software engineer is correct. adding a feature (or fixing a bug) takes a lot of time, review of code, testing and more review. This is not a fast process and can sometimes take a year or more. would you rather have a good working device or go the "release early, release often" model that MS uses (often with disastrous results)? Now, mind you, I am not a coder. I am an IT person with a specialization in security. I can tell you that planning proper security has many of the same problems in networks that planning and implementing features has in the OS world. Everything takes time and costs a hell of a lot of money. My suggestion, especially for the higher ups at the NFB: quit whining and actually start helping out. that's what the technology section is for, isn't it? -eric On Aug 25, 2016, at 8:06 AM, Dacia Cole wrote: > Thank you for the support of the NFB!!

Re: capchas
there is a paid service called Rumola that works fairly nicely. It costs about $1 for a yearly subscription. It also works on most types of capchas (there are at least 3 types that I know of where this isn't the case). -eric On Jun 9, 2016, at 10:14 AM, Rajmund wrote: > Hi there, > Is there an APP similar to Vebisom on windows, that will complete the > capchas, where it says type the number string in from the image above, and no > audio?
