Help needed with a voice over gesture

I hope someone can help please.  In some apps, like gate guru and others, one 
sometimes get to  a control where voice over says "pull down to refresh".  Now, 
what gesture is needed to perform this action.  I've tried double tapping on 
the area, but nothing seems to happen.  Is there a specific gesture to 
accomplish this?

Thank you for any suggestions.

  Usually, a three-finger swipe down will do it. In some instances, like when a

work.

Re: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution

2014-07-27 Thread Jan Kleinhans

Hi

I was wondering if you were only to change the last name, would you still 
speak out the whole contact name then, as the name might be spoken 
correctly, but you only want to change the surname for instanse?
I have a few contacts where the first names are okay, but I would want to 
change the surname spoken.


Thanks for an interesting topic.

Ok all, couldn't resist, so I experimented a bit more, and here is how I
used Siri to change how it pronounces odd names:
1. Ask Siri to "Contact x" (where X is the person with the oddly spoken
name).

2. Regardless of Siri's answer, press the Home button to essentially cancel
the request.

3. Now, press the Home button once again and say the following to Siri:
That is not how you pronounce X.
Note: remember, X is the person's unusual name.

4. Siri will ask you: "Ok, how do you pronounce the name X?" Siri will wait
for an answer, so go ahead and say out loud the person's name.

5. After saying the person's name, the next prompt you will get is Siri
asking: "Ok, thank you, which pronunciation should I use?"

6. At this point use a 4-finger single tap to go to the top of the screen
and swipe to the right to read the screen. When you reach "Play option 1"
you will double-tap to hear the new Siri pronunciation. You will probably
get three choices, so listen to them in the same way just described. when
you are ready to make a choice simply double-tap on the "Select button"
associated with the desired option.

7. You will be asked to choose a pronunciation for any remaining parts of
the person's name such as left middle and last name.

8. When the process has completed, you will hear one of two messages:
"Thanks for correcting me on that, I'll pronounce it as X from now on."
or
"Great, I'll pronounce it "X" from now on."
If you are not presented with these Siri replies, it is likely the changes
did not go through so try again.

9. If all went well, press the Home button to close any remaining Siri
screen.

10. Now test your pronunciation changes by asking Siri "Contact x." You
should hear Siri speak the new name.

If you can get this feature to work, it is very, very cool!

Hi all,

Came across the following instructions to teach Siri to pronounce foreign
and uncommon names more naturally. I could not get this to work. Hoping
someone will post better instructions. . For now, its definitely
possible as this YouTube video demonstrates:

? Teach Siri to Pronounce Contact Names Correctly in iOS 7 - iPhone
[How-To] - YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPcYB3bysFQ

Here are the written instructions:

Teaching Siri How to Say Complicated Names

If you want to teach her how to properly pronounce a name, just open up Siri
and tell her, "That's not how you pronounce [name goes here]." From there,
she'll give you several options as to who's name you want her to learn, if
she doesn't already recognize it.

As an example, I used Marielle Escobar from my contacts. Siri pronounces the
first name as Marielle, when it should be pronounced Mary-Lee, so I opened
up Siri and said "That's not how you pronounce Marielle."

Siri then asks me, "OK, how do you pronounce the name (Marielle)?"

I then pronounce the name the correct way (Mary-Lee) and Siri gives me three
options to choose from, all slight variations of Mary-Lee, if not exact
replicas. If none of those sound correct, you can tell Siri again. If an
option works, press Select.

Once you select it, Siri will ask you about the last name. You can pronounce
it as well, even if it's already correct. It will then do the same thing
again, giving you three options to choose from. Once you're done, Siri will
say, "Great, I'll pronounce it "First Name, Last Name" and you'll be ready
to go.

No more Siri massacring our exotic names.

Hi

Thank you for that.  So, I will then say the first name as Siri says it, and 
then has to go through all the steps to teach it to say the surname 
correctly?  Will give this a try.  It would be rather strange if you have to 
do that for contacts with a simular surname though, but will try and see 
what happens.

It seems that you have to go through the whole name. You would choose how
the first name is spoken, then the last.
Also, I believe you have to do it to each contact with that last name.

  Well, I would say you are missing the Remove button *smile*. Anyhow, here is 
what you do:

   

  1.   Find the contact you want to remove in your contact list and double 
tap on it.

  2.   When the contact opens, double tap on the contacts name again at the 
top which will show you their profile

  3.   Now at the bottom underneath the profile are 2 buttons, Add to 
Favorites and More. Double tap on "More".

  4.   On the next screen you have only 3 choices: Block, Remove or Cancel.

Re: Removing a skype contact from the contact list

2014-09-27 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi again

Okay, I followed your well-put suggestions for removing the contact in skype, 
and it works, thanks.  But, I should have explained the situation a bit better 
with a particular contact.  I've sent a contact request to someone to join me 
on skype, and the person did not respond.  Now, if I want to remove that 
particular contact, all I find in the "more" menu, is block, resend the 
request, or cancel.  Now for the question: how do I remove this particular 
contact?  There seems to be no delete button here, and no matter what I do, I 
can not seem to remove this contact.  Any other contact where I have had 
contact with the person can be removed, but not a contact where there was no 
communication as yet.  What am I missing this time round?

Regards

Jan Kleinhans

  Hi Jan,

   

  Well, I would say you are missing the Remove button *smile*. Anyhow, here is 
what you do:

   

  1.   Find the contact you want to remove in your contact list and double 
tap on it.

  2.   When the contact opens, double tap on the contacts name again at the 
top which will show you their profile

  3.   Now at the bottom underneath the profile are 2 buttons, Add to 
Favorites and More. Double tap on "More".

  4.   On the next screen you have only 3 choices: Block, Remove or Cancel.

Hi

No, I haven't tried to block it, as I thought that might just do exactly that, 
block them, should they ever want to reply.  I will try, also the computer 
might be a solution, although I haven't used skype on the computer for a good 
while now.  Thanks all the same for all the help.

  That one I don't know, have you tried Block to see if that gets rid of it? I 
don't have anybody who hasn't accepted so I can't try it out. I guess you could

Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6?

2014-10-05 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

Has anybody that owns a iPhone 6 or 6+ looked at the barometer function of the 
phone?  I am curious as to whether it can be used by users using voice over?  I 
read somewhere that it is used mainly for elevation, but I am interested in the 
weather functions of the barometer, meaning can one get a reading in inches or 
milibars like a normal barometer used in weather stations?

Thanks for this.  It is interesting indeed.  I read the altitude thing in a

This is interesting, though don't see how it would help with
height/altitude.

Given the variability of air pressure relative to weather conditions, it
would hardly be accurate.  Even planes used to have to zero their altimeter
relative to prevailing conditions before they get a good or accurate fix.
Modern ones probably do better now.  And after all that, Siri can work that
out with GPS, too.

RobH. Disappointed, Siri gave me a lecture on what altitude was,  and didn't
tell me my position at all. Yet I have been, when using 6.1.4 or whatever

you know the rest of the answer, does the barometer indeed give air pressure

Hi Rob and Jan,

Altimeters both stand-alone units sold in climbing and outdoor stores as
well as those integrated in all of the better Garmin GPS units all use a
barometric sensor to give precise elevation readings. Any GPS as well as the
iPhone can give you elevation based on GPS information, but while this is
better now than it was years ago, it is still less accurate than elevation
information based on barometric pressure because of GPS signal time delays
and simply the problem with acquiring enough satellites for an accurate
calculation.

. Typically all one has to do with a barometric altimeter is set the
elevation at a known location, e.g. any airport would do because you can
simply ask the airport authorities or google what the elevation of any
particular airport is. Once set a barometric altimeter will give you
accurate readings as you go up or down in elevation based on air pressure.
This is the same principal as in scuba diving where you get very accurate
depth readings from your depth gauge based on water pressure, pressure at
sea level is 1 bar or approx. 14.5 pounds per square inch and this increases
by 1 bar or 14.5 pounds per square inch for every 33 feet you go down and
the depth gauge messures this pressure and gives your depth in return. A
relatively deep recreational dive of 110 feet means you are exposed to 4 Bar
or approx. 58 pounds per square inch of pressure. If you take an empty 2
Liter pop bottle down there with the cap screwed on tight it will be
squished flat.

You will have to recalibrate a barometric altimeter if there are significant
changes in air pressure due to weather conditions, e.g. a storm causes an
intense low pressure system.

If you want to learn more about this all you have to do is Google something
like "How does a barometric altimeter work" or "How ddo weather conditions
effect barometric altimeters" or "How to calibrate a barometric altimeter".

Sieghard

Hi

All of this is rather interesting, but I can not help to wonder why apple 
then would include support for the 4S if all of this might indeed happen to 
it?  To me, at least, this does not make real sense, especially if functions 
like wifi
might be impacted.  Just my opinion though.  I still use a 4S, and will 
wait for all the bugs to be cleared up, and then I might venture into 
updating it, seeing what will happen to it after that.

For those who don't want to hassle with cliking on the link in the forwarded 
message, here's a thumbnail synopsis. Hopefully I got this right.   IOS 8 
will slow down older phones like the 4S. IOS 8 is designed  for larger 
displays, and, that being the case, the extra space required onscreen may 
preclude proper use of the onscreen keyboard. IOS 8 requires much more space 
to install, which could be a problem on older phones with limited  storage. 
IOS may ruin your ability to use wi-fi. And, last bun not least, IOS 8 may 
seriously impact battery life.

Hi

Thanks for that.  Yes, it's easy enough to get local barometric readings, 
it's just me liking the idea of having my own devices measuring, like the

Hi Jan,

I don't think it does, the barometric measurement is probably strictly used
for elevation. However, any good weather app should give you barometric
pressure and as long as you don;'t live a long way above or below wherever
the nearest sensors are located it should be pretty accurate. Alternatively,
the Netatmo Weather Station will give you barometric pressure. If you search
for "Netatmo" in the archives you can find a number of posts about it.

depth readings from your depth gauge based on water pressure, pressure at
sea level is 1 bar or approx. 14.5 pounds per square inch and this increases
by 1 bar or 14.5 pounds per square inch for every 33 feet you go down and
the depth gauge messures this pressure and gives your depth in return. A
relatively deep recreational dive of 110 feet means you are exposed to 4 Bar
or approx. 58 pounds per square inch of pressure. If you take an empty 2
Liter pop bottle down there with the cap screwed on tight it will be
squished flat.

You will have to recalibrate a barometric altimeter if there are significant
changes in air pressure due to weather conditions, e.g. a storm causes an
intense low pressure system.

If you want to learn more about this all you have to do is Google something
like "How does a barometric altimeter work" or "How ddo weather conditions
effect barometric altimeters" or "How to calibrate a barometric altimeter".

Hi

Thanks for this.  It is interesting indeed.  I read the altitude thing in a
review of the iPhone 6 on the gsm arena website, and also did not quite get
it how that would help, so that's why I was wondering if the barometer was
usable for it real function via voice over?

Thanks all the same.

This is interesting, though don't see how it would help with
height/altitude.

Given the variability of air pressure relative to weather conditions, it
would hardly be accurate.  Even planes used to have to zero their altimeter
relative to prevailing conditions before they get a good or accurate fix.
Modern ones probably do better now.  And after all that, Siri can work that
out with GPS, too.

Re: Qoo was Re: About timely: I am revoking my recommendation

2014-10-14 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

Like you, I also bought the app yesterday.  Some interesting observations for 
me was the fact that you have to choose between voice and audio signal.  Both 
can not happen, but not a stopper for me though.  What I would have liked more 
is the fact that the audio signal chosen, would indicate the real hour, e.g. 
striking 8 times for 8 o'clock.  This does not happen though, so if one were to 
choose only the audio signal for the hourly anouncement, you would not really 
know what the time is, unless you had the voice option set up for any other 
anouncements, like the half hour and so on.  Another interesting thing is that, 
if I set it up to go to sleep at 8 o'clock at night, it will still anounce the 
half past 8 time slot, after which it will go to sleep.  It's also interesting 
that the clock control is a different voice from the one you can choose to 
anounce the hour.  I have chosen the male voice, and that particular one only 
works on the options you choose to let him speak, but not in the clock control 
option where you can actually hear the time.  It still is a nice app, in my 
opinion, especially as one can set the times for the clock to actually work, 
and also can silence it with the do-not-disturb option under settings.

Hi

Are you saying that you can get the voice to anounce the time, and the audio 
signal going at the same time?  And, does the chimes actually chime the 
correct hour?  I use the coocoo audio signal, and that one does not indicate 
the correct hour, nor can I get the voice to speak whilst the signal is on 
for the hour.  I am using an iPhone 4S with the latest ios 7 version on it.

Re: An iPhone app that is like Skype that lets you talk from iPhone to iPhone

2014-05-11 Thread Jan Kleinhans

Hi

The only comment I will make about viber using an iPhone 4s is that, if 
someone calls you, you actually need to tap the answer button, and likewise 
on the end call button to end the call.  Double tapping with 2 fingers does 
not work for me on my phone in this app, which is a pity for me.

Hi Lea,

There's also Viber, which, on cursory inspection, seems to be fully
accessible, and just as easy to use as Skype.  It also does a look up of
your contacts list to see which of your friends use Viber, so you may want
to give this app a try.

Good luck.

although there is a button stating "current conditions" I have noticed that it 
does
not really give the current conditions.  I have my location and everything like 
it
should be.  I normally log the 2 o'clockp.m. temperature, and when asking 
overcast
for it, it almost always displays the maximum temperature listed in it's own 
temperature
forecast.  2 Other apps I have actually displays the current conditions.  Am I 
missing
something here, or is the current conditions indeed not real time info then?

Vi

On the subject of Zello

2015-06-19 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi all

I am curious to know who might be using Zello with success on their idevices.  
I have started to use it, and for the most I can do the basic things.  I am 
wondering about one particular function though.  There is suppose to be a 
"solo" mode, which you use when you have multiple channels connected in Zello.  
If one use the "solo" mode, you won't hear any conversations happening on your 
other connected channels.  I don't seem to find that particular solo slider, 
and to achieve the same result, I have to disconnect all the other channels 
first before using a channel of my own with no interfering speech happening.  
Does anybody know you one gets access to that solo slider, or is it not 
accessible using voiceover?  Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Jan Kleinhans

Opting out of apple music after end of trial question?

2015-07-01 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

The subject says it all really.  When I activated the trial period, it informed 
me that, and this is the part I missed somehow, if automatic update is not 
turned off in your music account, you will go on and of course pay the 
subscription.  I could not find any way in my account where you could choose to 
opt out should you want to do so after the trial period.  What should I be 
looking for when the time comes for that?  It was rather strange that you had 
to choose a plan in any event, even after activating the free trial button, and 
that confused me some what.  Any help appreciated with this.

  It is in the iTunes and App Store section in the settings app. Double-tap on 
your Apple ID, and select “view account”. Confirm your password, then on the 
page that appears, find and double-tap on “subscriptions”. You will now be in a 
screen that lists all recurring subscriptions charged by the iTunes Store. One 
of those will be Apple Music. If you double-tap on that subscription, you will 
be on a page that has a checkbox controlling auto-renewal. If you uncheck that 
box and save your changes (I think you select a “done” button), you should be 
good to go.

Using navigon with Siri

2015-07-18 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi all

There was a update to the navigon gps app, and under the "what's new" section 
it stated that this app could now be used with Siri to find an address.  Well, 
I don't seem to know how to achieve this.  I can ask Siri to open Navigon, 
which will happen.  If I then ask Siri for an address, apple maps will come up 
with the necessary information, like it used to happen before.  What am I 
missing here?  Any help appreciated.

Re: Using navigon with Siri

2015-07-19 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've been playing around a bit.  Firstly, I went to 
that edit box, then I pressed the home button to speak to Siri.  It will then 
find the info, but not via navigon.  Next, I tried the dictation feature, being 
in the edit field, and then activating dictation and speak the address.  Now, 
the info would be entered into the field, and could then tap on search, and 
navigate to that address.  I guess I did not think of the normal dictation 
function on the keyboard as being part of Siri's work.  That seems for me the 
only way it works, unless I am missing something.  Thanks for helping.

Regards

  What the Navigon what's new section said was: Just type in POI names,

  I think in that context, they meant you have to be in the search box and 
instead of typing in the one line search, you would dictate it with Siri.

Is it indeed possible to share a contact from my iPhone 4S via messaging to 
phones on a different platform?  I can find the options to share via email, 
messaging and so on.  So, I choose to share a relevant contact via text 
message, and my wife has an older nokia phone.  When I send the message, I 
receive a message failure notifications in the text messaging app, and then the 
contact is not shared at all.  Is this normal, and does this mean that you can 
only share via messaging to another apple device then?  Any help appreciated.

Whatsapp 12.2.5 on a 4s with some problems

2015-08-07 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi
Is anybody out there using whatsapp, and if so, I am looking for some help.  I 
have updated to the newest version of the app, after the "what's new" section 
even boasted with voice over improvements.  Now, if I am within a chat and 
should there be more than 1 message, I always use to double tap the "edit" 
button, then double tapped a particular message within the chat, and could then 
either forward or delete it and so on.  The edit button within the chat seems 
to be removed, and nothing I try will select a particular message within the 
chat so one can forward or delete and so on.  I have tried tapping and holding 
the message, and various sorts of things to be able to interact with the 
message, but nothing is working.  One can delete the chat from the main chat 
screen, and you can forward the whole chat via email and also archive, but 
individual message inside the chat can not be deleted or shared in any way.  Am 
I missing something here that might have changed, or might it now be that they 
actually broke the app?  Prior versions were working quite well.  I have 
written to their support about this, and still am waiting for an answer.  Any 
help greatly appreciated.

Re: how to send once off sms without having to create a contact

2014-11-19 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

This is an interesting thing.  I've tried something simular with Siri before, 
wanting to call a short numer like 121, which is a voice mail number on some of 
our south african networks.  She would not or could not call that particular 
short number.  It seemed as if siri wanted a ten digit number to call, so if 
the same goes for texting, then it won't work.

  Hi Fanus,

   

  I just tried it with the number you have to send it to and I can swipe to the 
text field for the message. Maybe try to touch the screen and find the field 
rather than swiping. You could always try to write your text first, then find 
the To field and put in the number. I assume you just have to send one word or 
a few words?

  You ccan always tell SIRI “Text 31050” followed by what you want the message 
to say as another option.

  This is very strange. I do just what you say: I go to messages, double tap on 
"compose" then I land in the "to" field. I type the number 31050. When I then 
swipe to the right once, I hear "add to contacts" one more swipe says "1" which 
is the 1 on the keyboard. There is no other text field for the body. This was 
my problem in IOS7 and now in IOS 8 and 8.1.

Just type the number where you want to send the message into the To field, 
then swipe right to the message field and double tap on it to enter editing 
mode. Type your message and  tap Send.

Subject: how to send once off sms without having to create a contact

 

Hello list

I want to send a once off sms to get my cell contract upgrade date. My 
common knowledge tells me to go to messages, then compose. When I activate 
compose I land in an edit field which says "to" if I swipe to the right there 
is indeed a "text message" field. When I swipe back to the right and enter the 
"to" number there, the "text field" is no longer there when I swipe to the 
right. My question is therefore what am I doing wrong? How does one send a once 
off sms without first having to create a new contact?

Regards

Fanus

Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s

2014-11-23 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

I have now, on Friday, upgraded my 4S to Ios 8.1.1, and for the greater part it 
is not doing too bad.  I have however tried sending an audio message to a 
person which has I-messaging enabled on his Iphone.  It does not seem to work 
for me though.  The audio button is available, but double tapping and hold to 
record, just throws me out, an into the edit field, and a second or 2 of audio 
is recorded.  This happens whether the edit field is in edit mode or not.  Is 
this function meant to work on the 4S, seeing the button is available, or might 
this be a phone specific thing with my device?  Can others using the 4S with 
the latest Ios update indeed perform this action?

Thanks for any help in the regard.

Hi

I'll try that, and yes, a restart has been done.  Does it mean that you press 
and hold the button, then quickly raise it to your ear to record and then take 
it away?  The time space for doing so is extremely short.  Thanks for the 
suggestion, will try that.

  This should work on a 4S. Have you shut down your phone and restarted it 
since the update? If not give that a try. If not you can try to just raise the 
phone to your ear as a work-around. On my 5S once I do this I hear the beep and 
I can just speak and record my message, once I take the phone away from my ear 
it stops.

  Oops, almost forgot, I can’t remember if “Raise to speak” is turned on by 
default, it is something you can turn on or off. Just go to Settings and 
Messages, it’s right towards the very bottom.

Hi

Thanks for the info.  Let me see if I understand this, if "raise to speak" is 
on, how do I activate the record button, or does that still need to be double 
tapped?  If not, I am not too sure how this works, or do you tap and then hold 
the phone and raise it to your ear?  I agree on the audio quality being poor.  
A friend sent me an audio message, and it really does not sound too great.

  Hi Jan,

   

  No, you don’t touch the screen at all. If you enable raise to speak the 
sensors in the phone will notice when you raise the phone to your ear and 
engage the microphone, all you do is put the phone to your ear and speak then 
take it away when you are done and the recording will stop. You still have to 
tap the Send button,, however, it’s not like Whats App where the message is 
sent as soon as you release the record button. With audio messages you have the 
option to send the message or play it first if you want to hear how it sounds.

  The quality of audio messages in iOS is quite poor compared to Whats App, the

actually a bit surprised by this and hope Apple will improve the sound quality

Hi

Okay, now I understand, the old mind is turning over rather slowly here, sorry. 
 I will give that a try.  Raise to speak I see is on in the settings for 
messages, so if it is going to work on my phone, I could try it then.  I might 
be having device-specific problems for sure, as I also often seem to struggle 
to answer a call now on the lock screen with the well-known 2-finger double 
tap, which worked like a charm before now, so just may be my phone is nearing 
the end of its life span.

Thanks for helping.

  Hi Jan,

   

  OK, I’ll try this one more time: when raise to speak is turned on you do not 
have to tap the record button at all. The whole point for raise to speak is 
more or less hands free operation, of course it’s not really hands free as you 
are holding your phone, but all you do is start a new message, enter the 
contact or phone number where you want to send it to and if the Record button 
is there which means the other person has iMessage, then all you have to do is 
raise the phone to your ear and it should make the little beep indicating you 
can now speak. You then speak/record your message and take the phone away from 
your ear. This will stop the recording and you will have the buttons on the 
screen to play, send or cancel the message. Once again, don’t tap, double tap 
or double tap and hold on any buttons, just raise the phone to your ear.

I'll try that, and yes, a restart has been done.  Does it mean that you 
press and hold the button, then quickly raise it to your ear to record and then 
take it away?  The time space for doing so is extremely short.  Thanks for the

  This should work on a 4S. Have you shut down your phone and restarted it 
since the update? If not give that a try. If not you can try to just raise the 
phone to your ear as a work-around. On my 5S once I do this I hear the beep and 
I can just speak and record my message, once I take the phone away from my ear 
it stops.

  Oops, almost forgot, I can’t remember if “Raise to speak” is turned on by 
default, it is something you can turn on or off. Just go to Settings and 
Messages, it’s right towards the very bottom.

Hi

I think the author here might be using the 4S, and like myself, I am finding 
a problem that some times you can answer that way, other times it just won't 
work at all.

Hi all.
Well, I love to make troubles, and because of that, I tried IOs 8.1.1, to 
see what I can say about this release.
Well guys, I thought that it will be so bad, but, no. IOs 8.1.1 is not too 
bad, I just found a few instability some times, and the most bugs that IOs 
8.1 had are fixed. Just right now I am missing answering phone calls with 2 
fingers, double tab, but I see that we have to do a double tab on th accept 
button. Any how, IOs 8.1.1 is not so bad, and I am starting to be exploring 
this IOs.

Just be ready guys, because I will be making complain about it soon.

Re: Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s

Hi

And, thanks to some great help, I tried the raise to speak option to record the 
message, and that actually did work indeed.  So, not being able to use the 
button to record the audio is not a big deal, but I wonder if it is only on my

  Hi Jan,

   

  OK, I’ll try this one more time: when raise to speak is turned on you do not 
have to tap the record button at all. The whole point for raise to speak is 
more or less hands free operation, of course it’s not really hands free as you 
are holding your phone, but all you do is start a new message, enter the 
contact or phone number where you want to send it to and if the Record button 
is there which means the other person has iMessage, then all you have to do is 
raise the phone to your ear and it should make the little beep indicating you 
can now speak. You then speak/record your message and take the phone away from 
your ear. This will stop the recording and you will have the buttons on the 
screen to play, send or cancel the message. Once again, don’t tap, double tap 
or double tap and hold on any buttons, just raise the phone to your ear.

Hi Jan,

 

No, you don’t touch the screen at all. If you enable raise to speak the 
sensors in the phone will notice when you raise the phone to your ear and 
engage the microphone, all you do is put the phone to your ear and speak then 
take it away when you are done and the recording will stop. You still have to 
tap the Send button,, however, it’s not like Whats App where the message is 
sent as soon as you release the record button. With audio messages you have the 
option to send the message or play it first if you want to hear how it sounds.

The quality of audio messages in iOS is quite poor compared to Whats App, 
the native iOS audio messages sound like the recording on an answering machine. 
I’m actually a bit surprised by this and hope Apple will improve the sound 
quality in future updates.

Yes, I am aware of the holding, as I've said, it's a known thing as whatsapp 
works in a simular way.  So, it seems as if I have a device-specific problem 
here, fortunately not a big deal as I can use the raise to speak option, 
should I want to use the audio.  I prefer whatsapp for the audio messages 
where possible, as the quality of the audio is much better than the audio 
which is part of imessaging.  Thanks all the same.

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search

2014-11-26 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

This is a very interesting subject.  I certainly would like Siri to be able to 
work more world wide.  Here in South Africa I can not ask Siri any info on 
restaurants, movies and the like.  So, it rather does very basic things here, 
which I find to be a great pity.  In that way Google can do better, in our 
country at least.  I can ask for a kfc (chicken restaurant), and google will 
list the closest one to me, which is really the kind of thing one wants to do.

  Hi kelly. This demonstrates that the vision of Siri has yet to be truly 
fulfilled. The idea with such services as announced in 2011 was that you could 
talk to your phone in natural language style, much like you would ask your 
personal assistant a question. Indeed, Siri has been described as a personal 
assistant. One shouldn't have to get a syntax just so in order to get the 
answer you want. Natural language queries will improve over time, and it is 
good to know that at least if you ask a question in just the right way, you may 
get the answer you're looking for. Who knows what things will be like a year 
from now, but at this point it seems Google can parse queries a little more 
intelligently, at least in some cases.
  Apple seem to know it has some catch-up to do. Word is they are devoting some 
serious new resources to improving what Siri can do. I suspect we will see big 
things relating to Siri in iOS 9.

important to say the name of the country using dollars, as multiple

quote "convert 19 point 95 United States dollars into New Zealand
dollars" end quote.  I received the exact value from both SIRI and

Apple.  As discussed previously on this list, SIRI requires people to
use the word convert at the beginning of a currency conversion.  SIRI
taps into yahoo finance, which uses the command structure country
followed by currency name of originating currency followed by the
country name and currency name of destination currency.  when this
syntax is used, SIRI can be used easily for currency conversion.

What was interesting was that SIRI and Google reported a penny

Location tracking, some clarification needed

2014-12-07 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

I am using Ios 8.1.1 on a 4S, and am trying to understand the location services 
and tracking.  There are 2 options, always on, meaning it can run even in the 
background, and then the "never" option.  Now my question: if you choose the 
"never" option, and you use an app that needs to use the location services, 
will it ask for permission to use location services, or will one be presented 
with the dialog where you need to go into settings, privacy, and so on, to 
enable location services for the particular app.  I would have thought that 
there might be an third option, saying something like "when needed" making it 
possible for the app to get the necessary permission to use location services.  
Am I missing something here, or will apps ask for permission and then, when you 
close the app, will location services be switched off again for that app?

Any help appreciated

instance, won't work unless you switch location services on in settings, and 
sometimes location tracking will then remain on even if the app is not working. 
 It is a pity that apps just can't ask to use it when necessary, and that would 
then make sure that location tracking is switched off again when the app is not 
running.  

Thanks all the same for the answer.

  Hi,
  I've seen plenty of cases where the app in question asks you to turn on 
location services by going into Settings, Privacy and Location Services, and 
location services will thereafter be set to Always even when the app isn't 
being used. And there are other apps, like some native Apple apps, which will 
request location services and you'll notice that the setting for the app is 
"while using". Examples of the latter include Maps, Compass and Passbook. 
Perhaps there's some special code under the hood which allows the "while using" 
setting, but since I know nothing about app programming I can only speculate. 
Seems to me that the "while using" setting would be the ideal. 

  I bet there's someone out there who can elaborate on this much better than I 
can.

Subject: Location tracking, some clarification needed


Hi

I am using Ios 8.1.1 on a 4S, and am trying to understand the location 
services and tracking.  There are 2 options, always on, meaning it can run even 
in the background, and then the "never" option.  Now my question: if you choose 
the "never" option, and you use an app that needs to use the location services, 
will it ask for permission to use location services, or will one be presented 
with the dialog where you need to go into settings, privacy, and so on, to 
enable location services for the particular app.  I would have thought that 
there might be an third option, saying something like "when needed" making it 
possible for the app to get the necessary permission to use location services.  
Am I missing something here, or will apps ask for permission and then, when you 
close the app, will location services be switched off again for that app?

Any help appreciated

Setting up an apple id on iPhone 5S

2015-01-10 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

A friend of mine got a new iPhone 5s, and someone helped him to set the phone 
up.  It now seems as if the apple id was not set up completely, as they don't 
know the passowrd for the apple id.  My question: is there a way to set up the 
apple id from scratch, or getting a new one using the iPhone itself?  At this 
time he has no access to a computer with an internet connection.  Will it help 
if the settings were reset then starting the phone as a new phone, so he gets a 
chance to choose a new apple id and password?

Any help with this greatly appreciated.

  In spite of that, it is a great app.

Thanks for that.  I will see if it's available in our country, as it sounds to 
be a great tool to use.

Does one have to have voice dream reader installed to use voice dream

Hi Richard,


I haven't purchased Voice Dream Writer yet. I thought I read that there 
was a particular sequence that Voice Reader needed to be opened first. I have 
updated reader and installed my purchased voices and had a little problem 
getting James to work. With some Perserverence, I got it. WHAT makes this app 
so great? Just asking out of curiosity.

  Hi all,
  Well, it looks like the ability to use voices from Voice Dream Reader 
in voice Dream Writer isn’t working.
  It isn’t working for me in the release version and unfortunately, it 
wasn’t available to test in the beta cycle.
  In spite of that, it is a great app.
  But, some of you may want to wait to purchase it if having other 
voices is super important to you.

Re: Wireless Doorbell

2015-02-06 Thread Jan Kleinhans

Hi

I've read something on a device called "sky bell", the device itself is not 
wireless, but it has a camera and microphone for you to see and hear who is 
at the door, and it connects via an app to the phone, so wherever you are 
you can know if someone is at your door, whether you are at home or 
somewhere else, and you can then talk to that person, or, if you are at 
home, let them in.  When at home, the bell uses the wifi to communicate with 
the phone app.

Problem with skype notifications

2015-03-02 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

Using iPhone 4s with the latest firmware, I am having a problem with 
notifications in skype.  Now, I have not been using skype that long, so I am 
hoping that I am missing something here that might cause the problem.  I have 
notifications on in settings and the skype settings, sounds are on as well.  
So, when I am done using skype, without logging out, I go back to the home 
screen to use other apps.  No notifications of calls coming in, nor of missed 
calls gets to me.  My understanding is that the calls should ring and one can 
see them even on the lock screen.  If I am inside of the skype app I can then 
see that there were missed calls and whatever event took place.  What am I 
missing here, or might this be a problem with my old 4S phone?  A friend of 
mine is having a similar thing, but he uses a 5S.  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Well, thanks for that, I really hope some stability will come at some stage

Some times apple maps does the job other times google maps.
Over though I think apple maps tops google maps because when you need

you need directions to get to.

For example directions to walmart.

Re: A link for the new Voice Take a Picture app.

2015-05-21 Thread Jan Kleinhans

Hi

Thanks for providing the link.  I have a 4s, with 8.3 on it, but 
unfortunately it seems that the app won't work on my particular phone. 
After getting through the 6 pages thing, and allowing the app to use the 
cammera, voiceover dies completely on my phone, and all other sounds.  This 
happens while inside the app.  If pressing the home button, everything 
returns to normal.  I have closed everything in app switcher, restarted the 
phone by shutting down completely, uninstalled the app and re-installed 
again, and nothing changed.  My conclusion is that it won't run on the 4s, 
at least my old 4s, which is due to retire sooner than later.


Thanks for sharing.

again, and nothing changed.  My conclusion is that it won't run on the 
4s,

at least my old 4s, which is due to retire sooner than later.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Problem upgrading iPhone 5s to Ios 8.3

2015-05-27 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

I wanted to help a friend of mine to upgrade his 5s to ios 8.3.  The update 
showed up in the normal way, and all the agree and disagree buttons came along, 
but at the very last button you have to agree or disagree to, the phone will 
not respond to those buttons.  I double tapped on both the buttons, nothing 
happening.  We restarted the phone, closed all apps out of the app switcher, 
and every time the results are the same.  I did not connect it to itunes on my 
machine, wanted to do it over the air.  Any ideas as to why the phone might not 
want to respond to those buttons?  Result of all that is that the upgrade can 
not be performed.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Jan Kleinhans

  The if that is ok. the last advice i can give you, reset the device to 
factory default, make the upgrade and restore the backup you hopefully have 
done.
  Just to be shure, the upgrade have never been downloaded to that device or? 
It is a quite large file, maybe the problem is that there is short of memoryso 
try to uninstall a few apps wich maybe is to large and se what happends. Thats 
the suggest i have.

  Hi Jan,

   

  This may be a focus issue, in older versions of iOS sometimes buttons which 
Voiceover read were not visually on the screen because they were on page 2 or 
further. In order to fix this, make sure you do a 3-finger swipe up until you 
get to whatever is the last page of the information, in this case the terms and 
conditions or whatever. Then find the Agree button again and double tap it. I 
believe you may also be able to do a 4-finger tap to move to the very end of 
the information which may land you on the Disagree button, try to swipe left 
once and double tap.

Thank you very much.  Yes, ideed, at least the last 2 things I did do, that's 
to say, we restarted the phone, and also closed all apps out from the app 
switcher.  I will certainly try swiping through all the pages and trying, and 
yes, fortunately there is some sighted help around, so that option can be 
indeed utilised.

  Guys, don’t be so fast suggesting such drastic measures like a total reset of 
the phone. If this is a problem with Voiceover focus then this would cause a 
lot of work and have no result. Jan, I replied in another message that often 
such static information on the screen is across multiple pages visually and a 
sighted person has to scroll down through that text to the last page before the 
Agree and Disagree buttons become visible and available to tap. Voiceover may 
read the entire text and get to the buttons but visually still the first screen 
of text is on the screen. As I said before, try a 3-finger swipe up on the 
screen to go from page 1 to page 2 and repeat until you get to the last page, 
then try the Agree button again. If that doesn’t work I would probably simply 
ask a sighted person to do this before I’d go through the trouble of wiping my 
device.

   

  Also, it is a good idea to make sure all apps are closed from the app 
switcher and to at least do a reboot of the phone, i.e. turn it off completely, 
wait 30 seconds or so and then turn it back on.

Hi Jan,



This may be a focus issue, in older versions of iOS sometimes buttons 
which

Voiceover read were not visually on the screen because they were on page 2
or further. In order to fix this, make sure you do a 3-finger swipe up 
until

you get to whatever is the last page of the information, in this case the
terms and conditions or whatever. Then find the Agree button again and
double tap it. I believe you may also be able to do a 4-finger tap to move
to the very end of the information which may land you on the Disagree
button, try to swipe left once and double tap.

Hi Jan,

Force quitting all apps and either restarting your phone or doing a "Reset 
Network Settings" which will also restart your phone in the process are 
preliminary steps to upgrading to a new version of iOS. Many people say that 
is not necessary to even close all apps let alone restart the phone or do a 
Reset all network settings, but while it may not be necessary in many cases, 
things can go wrong during an upgrade and many experienced iPhone people 
have found that it is less likely something will go wrong if you do these 
few simple preparations.


Keep in mind that if you reset network settings you will have to reconnect 
to your WiFi and most likely be asked for your WiFi password after you 
reboot the phone. This of course is necessary for an over the air update 
since usually the files are too large to go over 3G or LTE.


Like I said, if you want to run the least risk when doing an over the air 
upgrade, then do a backup either to iCloud or via iTunes, then orce quit all 
apps and restart your phone or to be totally safe, go to Settings, General, 
Reset and Reset All Network Settings. Let the phone reboot, reconnect to 
your WiFi, then to the update.



Regards,
Sieghard

No. Turning off location services means no apps ever get location

Problem sharing notes via whatsapp

2016-05-19 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi all

Using an iPhone 5S and ios 9.3.1 and the very latest version of whatsapp.  I 
was trying to share a saved note via whatsapp.  Using the share option in the 
notes app, the option to share with whatsapp is indeed available, but when it 
comes to sending the actual note via whatsapp, the message "can not share this 
item" displays on the screen.  Now, I can share the note via e-mail and text 
message and so on.  My question is then: would this be some bug, either in 
whatsapp or notes may be, as I would have thought that the whatsapp option 
should not be available if the note can not be shared via whatsapp.  I have 
tried different ways with different notes, they are not protected in any way, 
and even if I write a new note manually on the keyboard the same thing happens. 
 Any ideas on what might be the problem here would be greatly appreciated.

Blocking undisclosed numbers on a 4S

2015-09-30 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

I guess the subject line asks the lot?  Is there a way to block this kind of 
numbers, where no number is shown?  I've tried this phoning my 4S from a number 
which did not show, and although I could see that it was undisclosed, I could 
find no way to block it, going into "info" did not work either, or does this 
only work where a number is actually present?

Thanks for any suggestions or help with this.

Re: Info under the battery setting on iphone 4s

2015-10-03 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

Then we must have some sort of problem, as I can only see stand by and talk 
time, but no apps with their respective usage, and yet I could see this 
earlier.  How do you then select the period of time for the respective apps?  I 
am using 9.0.1 still, but have nothing of that on my screen.  I have restarted 
the phone and all that sort of thing but nothing has changed there.  So, it 
then seems like it might be a device spesific problem then?

Regards

Jan

  I use the 4S and I can see the battery usage and percentages used by various 
apps.  I can select either for the last 24 hours or for the last seven days.  I 
have noticed this nice feature only in iOS 9.x.  Was it available in earlier

Hi

I can indeed confirm this, using a 4S with ios 9.1.  That sound feedback 
often helped me if, for some reason, speech was not coming from the phone. 
I hope this will be fixed, even if it is a small thing.

Hello All,

In addition to the fact that waking the phone up no longer causes the
current time to be automatically announced, by VoiceOver, there is now 
also

the loss of sound effect feedback when either locking or unlocking the
device.

I strongly suspect that the two issues are directly related.

Hi

I found a work around for the lick sound, at least it works for me on a 4S:
I went to settings, sounds, and then to the lock screen sound.  It was 
turned on, so I turned it off and back on again, went out of settings, and 
sure enough, the sound was back as before.  It might just work for others?

Problem downloading u.k. english voice on a 4S

2015-08-18 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

I had to restore my 4S and updated the software to 8.4.1, then restoring from a 
prior backup.  Now, I like to use the u.k. enhanced voice, but after the 
restore I have some problems with this.  The voice does not sound the same, and 
when I look at the settings, I hear that 68 mb of 156 mb has been downloaded.  
No matter what I do, I can not get the download to continue, and I have no idea 
if there is a way one could remove the voice and somehow restart the download 
again.  It seems as if the phone is now stuck in this mode.  I really need to 
get a new phone, as this one is old, but finance is a problem right now.  To 
make it even more difficult, my lock/sleep button does not function properly, 
it seems the little spring has gone, so I can not really switch the phone off 
and on, to try and reset it in that way, and the only way to reset it now seems 
to be via itunes and a restore option.  Any help on what I could do would be 
appreciated.  Where I live there is no apple store, and in the end the phone 
will have to be sent somewhere to have the button repaired at least.

Thanks in advance.

  Hi if you want to remove the enhanced quality voice and reinstall it try 
this.  
  First go to settings.  
  Then go to general. 
  Then go to accessibility.  
  Then go to voiceover. 
  Then go to speech. 
  Then go to default dialect. 
  Then swipe to the voice you want to delete and then swipe to the enhanced 
quality button and then swipe down to delete and then double tap. 
  Then from that point it should say enhanced quality download. 
  You should then be able to redownload the enhanced quality voice.  
  Try that and see if that works.

  Also if that doesn't work, maybe a reset of network settings might do the 
trick. You'll need your wifi password but resetting network settings often

  Hi if you want to remove the enhanced quality voice and reinstall it try 
this.  
  First go to settings.  
  Then go to general. 
  Then go to accessibility.  
  Then go to voiceover. 
  Then go to speech. 
  Then go to default dialect. 
  Then swipe to the voice you want to delete and then swipe to the enhanced 
quality button and then swipe down to delete and then double tap. 
  Then from that point it should say enhanced quality download. 
  You should then be able to redownload the enhanced quality voice.  
  Try that and see if that works.

Re: Blocking unwanted calls on the iPhone

2016-12-21 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

There is an app, called truecaller, but this does not block calls from "no 
i.d." numbers, in other words, where no caller id is displayed.  This app has 
an extensive list of reported spam numbers, and this grows almost every day.  
You can also report a number as spam, should it get to your phone, and those 
numbers can then be blocked.

  Well, I gather that AT&T has started some kind of spam blocking service, but 
I am not an AT&T customer. And if you have android, there are call blocking 
apps. So I was hoping there might be something for the iPhone as well. I know 
about stopping each number after the fact. And I'm not worried about text 
messages, because I don't get any that I don't want. At least not yet. It's 
just that I have actually started to get a few spam calls on my iPhone after 
years of being left alone. I have no idea how my number is getting into

Navigan questions?

2016-12-28 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi all

We had a update to the navigan app here in South Africa, and some of the new 
features just won't work for me, and I am hoping someone can help.
The latest update is suppose to be able to see contacts with addresses on your 
phone, and also have a microphone button if you wanted to use the voice feature 
rather than typing in the info.  Now, no matter what I do, it does not return 
any contact with addresses when I search for them.  I have enabled that feature 
when the app asked to allow access to the contacts.  Would there then be a 
certain format for the addresses in one's contacts, or what might I be missing 
here?  I can search for normal places listed in the maps itself but nothing 
that is on the phone will come up.  I use an Iphone 6 with the latest Ios 
running.

Any help appreciated

Birthdays via the contacts and the calendar

2016-01-13 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi all

Now, if I create a new contact and also put the birthday in, I do see that the 
birthday is also present on the calendar.  But here is where my problems start. 
 I should say that I might not be that proficient with the calendar, so I could 
be missing something.  If I add this birthday and go to the calendar, I can 
find the event, and it would show something like: "jan Kleinhans, birthday, all 
day."  Now, if I wanted to add a notification so that it would tell me on the 
day that it is the birthday, how do I do this?  I can somehow get to the point 
where you can move the event.  If I do that, I can see the hours, so I can move 
it to say 7 in the morning, but there seems to be no way to actually select 
that time, nor to switch on an alert for this event.  If I start the entry on 
the calendar by adding a new event, I can set all of this.  So, what would be 
the purpose thento add the birthday via the contact to the calendar if you can 
not set up the notification?  Yes, you can go into the calendar, and go to the 
date to see if there are events, but that's about all, unless I am missing 
something very obvious here.  I know one can set reminders via the reminders 
app, and using Siri and all of that, but at this stage that's not what I want 
to know, hoping that this might work in another way then?

Thank you for any clarification of this matter.

Re: Birthdays via the contacts and the calendar

2016-01-14 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

Thank you for this info.  Well, point is that, if I entered the birthday via 
the contacts and it then display on the calendar, I never did get any 
notification, even if it was at 9 in the morning.  I will have to look if that 
notification setting is active or not.  I can somehow get to the setting where 
the whoe day setting can be changed, the hours will then display, but even 
double tapping the relevant hour. e.g. 7 o'clock, does actually not select that 
hour, nor is there a way to actually save that info, as the calendar only shows 
the add option, meaning add for a new entry, there is no "done" or something 
like that.  If one enters the whole entry from scratch in the calendar, one can 
change all those things, as, if I remember correctly, if you get to those 
settings, the notification seems to be off for an alert to happen, so I switch 
that on.  All this is, as far as I could tell, not available if you get to the 
calendar via the contacts app.  If you double tap the birthday again to edit 
it, you are actually back in the editing of the contact itself, with no 
calendar options to edit.  Thanks all the same, will look at that notification 
in the settings for the calendar.

  Hi!
  I just checked my Calendar to reproduce what you are experiencing but I 
didn't even get to the event settings.
  But, the problem is the 'Whole day' setting. The calendar automatically 
treats the event as whole day so there's no need to adjust the time, hours, 
place etc, etc.
  If you want to change those things you first need to switch the event from 
Whole day and I believe you'll ge the access to the settings you need.
  If the event is set fot he whole day it automatically gets the default 
Calendar notification on 9 o'clock AM which can be changed in Settings, Mail, 
Calendar and Contacts section.

  Hello,
  As long as you have the setting turned on, then you will get a notification 
for all day events.
  There is nothing you have to do in the calendar.


  Just go to settings, mail contacts calendar, then swipe down to the calendar 
section and double tap on Default Alerts.
  In here, swipe until you hear All Day Events and double tap.
  Now you can choose when you will receive your notification for all day events 
including Birthdays.  I have mine set for 9 AM on the day of the event.


  I hope this helps.

all day."  Now, if I wanted to add a notification so that it would tell me on 
the day that it is the birthday, how do I do this?  I can somehow get to the 
point where you can move the event.  If I do that, I can see the hours, so I 
can move it to say 7 in the morning, but there seems to be no way to actually 
select that time, nor to switch on an alert for this event.  If I start the 
entry on the calendar by adding a new event, I can set all of this.  So, what 
would be the purpose thento add the birthday via the contact to the calendar if 
you can not set up the notification?  Yes, you can go into the calendar, and go 
to the date to see if there are events, but that's about all, unless I am 
missing something very obvious here.  I know one can set reminders via the 
reminders app, and using Siri and all of that, but at this stage that's not 
what I want to know, hoping that this might work in another way then?

Thank you for any clarification of this matter.

Re: accessible weather stations/iPhone apps?

2016-03-03 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

I think the original question was about a weather station with an accessible 
app.  Netatmo weather station for the iPhone would be such a weather station.  
I think there might be some people on this list that actually use the netatmo 
stations that will be able to describe this in more detail, as I personally 
does not own one as yet.

Iphone 5s and the lightning connector

2015-11-11 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi all

My wife has obtained a new iphone 5s, and so we wanted to charge the phone for 
the very first time.  My understanding was that the connector could be plugged 
into the phone, no matter what side was up, meaning that it would go into the 
fitting of the phone regardless of which way around you connected it.  Well, it 
indeed does fit no matter which way you turn the plug, but my problem: does it 
only charge going in a certain way, as when my sighted child got to the phone, 
he informed me that the phone was not charged.  I was astonished about this, so 
he turned the connector the other way, and sure enough, the phone is now 
charging.  Is this indeed the way it has to work, as one would have to mark the 
connector then, especially should you not get any voiceover speech for some 
reason when charging the phone?  I thought I read somewhere that it did not 
matter which way the connector was connected to the phone with the lightning 
cables provided, so is this understanding of mine wrong then?

Any help greatly appreciated

  I agree you should try a different cable and, if you were charging with the 
cable plugged into a laptop try a different USB port or, as Feliciano 
suggested, try the wall adapter.

  I have, however, heard from a friend in Germany that his 5S charges with the 
cable plugged in either way, but he can only sync if he plugs it in a certain 
way. If I had been him and if this was consistant across cables, I would have 
returned the phone since to me this is a defect.

  Hi Jan,

   

  What version of iOS is on this phone? If it is an older version, you could 
upgrade to iOS 9.1 and see if this makes a difference. If not I’d try both a 
different charger and a different cable, the problem could be with any of the

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion.  No, it is indeed a brand new phone, so I would hope 
that the latter won't be true.  Will see what the phone does after updating it 
this weekend.  Here where I live in South Africa, East London being the city, 
we don't even have an apple store, so the phone goes back to the network 
carier, and I truely hope that won't be necessary.

Thanks all the same for the advice on the port.

  The original post talking about the iPhone 5S only charging with the 
lightning connector turned one way said the phone was new. Was the phone a 
brand new device or was it only new to your household? If the latter and the 
phone was previously used by another, it is possible that some lint or other 
detritus has gotten into the lightning port on the phone and is affecting its 
charging. I've had this happen with both my previous iPhone 5 and my current 
iPhone 6 and when the port gets stuff in it, the results when plugging in a 
lightning cable are unpredictable. I've gotten unauthorized cable messages, 
charging only working when the cable is plugged a certain way, and the cable 
not staying connected until taking my phones to the apple store to have the 
port cleaned out. 


  I wanted to mention this in case it might be a possibility. 


  Good luck.

  I agree you should try a different cable and, if you were charging with 
the cable plugged into a laptop try a different USB port or, as Feliciano 
suggested, try the wall adapter.

  I have, however, heard from a friend in Germany that his 5S charges with 
the cable plugged in either way, but he can only sync if he plugs it in a 
certain way. If I had been him and if this was consistant across cables, I 
would have returned the phone since to me this is a defect.

Hi

I certainly will try that, have found that to happen when using other equipment 
as well.  I sometimes have a way of forcing a thing to fit, and I am careful 
not to do that with the phone, as it is a delicate piece of equipment.  Will 
certainly give that a go.

  hi,

  For what it's worth, I had problems with mine. I don't know what the problems 
were, but think it was probably that you had to put the plug into the phone 
rather more definite later than I was doing. I do not see the problem now, so I 
think it must be a case of getting it bedded in. Worth a try! I went to the 
Apple Store with mine and, of course, they got it working straightaway. I had 
tried a number of times! Anyway now it is fine, so I suggest you have another 
go and make sure that plug is properly in

Well, it indeed does fit no matter which way you turn the plug, but my problem: 
does it only charge going in a certain way, as when my sighted child got to the 
phone, he informed me that the phone was not charged.  I was astonished about 
this, so he turned the connector the other way, and sure enough, the phone is 
now charging.  Is this indeed the way it has to work, as one would have to mark 
the connector then, especially should you not get any voiceover speech for some 
reason when charging the phone?  I thought I read somewhere that it did not 
matter which way the connector was connected to the phone with the lightning 
cables provided, so is this understanding of mine wrong then?

Any help greatly appreciated

Hi all

I saw this app in the subject line being mentioned in the applevis latest 
additions to their ios apps.  This is suppose to be a camera app targeting 
blind users to make it a bit easier to take and manage photos with the iPhone.  
Has anybody out there used this app at all, and what are your experiences with 
this?  I tried it on my wife's iPhone 5S, but I could not get it to work.  It 
has some tabs at the bottom, one being the camera tab, and I was assuming from 
there you are suppose to take the pictures.  This tab would however not load in 
the end, and no buttons were then available to take any pictures and so on.  
Any ideas on this app will be welcome.

Re: An iPhone Without a Headphone Jack: The Accessibility Ramifications

  The jack is so archaic, but that’s just my opinion. Like I said in my 
previous post, the advancements that could come with a switch to the lightning 
port are enormous, but they could still offer an adaptor for people that want 
to use normal headphones.
  Lightning headphones are expensive, yes, but making a move right now gives 
people to adapt to change, since it’s inevitable anyway, so we might as well 
learn to adapt or stop complaining.

Hi,


I’m sorry if this sounds rude, but why, exactly is everyone so bent out 
of shape about the no headphone jack rumor?
First off, we don’t even know if it’s going to happen, and second, if 
Apple were going to do something that drastic, they’d surely think about all 
possible scenarios before plunging ahead with such a move.
I personally would love to see a new approach to headphones, preferably 
one that provides for better audio quality than what the current jacks 
limitations due to it being analog can provide.

  Thanks to all this feedback, I was able to write a new blog post

Birthdays in contacts and Siri

2015-12-17 Thread Jan Kleinhans
Hi

I haven't been using the feature a lot, adding birthdays to a contact.  The 
other day I tried this for the first time, and after doing so, I asked Siri 
when the person's birthday was.  To my surprise she could tell me when the 
birthday was, so I started adding more birthdays to my contact.  One strange 
thing though: I added the birthdays in such a way where I have the proper birth 
date of the person, e.g. 4 May 1956.  Asking Siri how old the person was, she 
could tell me the correct age, but asking her in what year the person was born, 
she did indeed not know the answer to that one.  Why would this be, as the 
birth date is in the contact, and she is actually calculating the correct age 
with that information?  It was also interesting to find that, if I only added a 
birthday to the calendar, not via the contacts, she did not find that birthday 
somehow.

Regards
