Re: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution
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. Jan Kleinhans- Original Message - From: "Joseph FreeTech" To: Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2014 12:46 PM Subject: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution 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!

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

Re: Removing a skype contact from the contact list
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?

There seems to be no delete button here, and no matter what I do, I can not seem to remove this contact.

Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6?
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?

Re: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6?
Hi Thank you for a well explained function, makes perfect sense to me. Now, do you know the rest of the answer, does the barometer indeed give air pressure on the iPhone 6 in inches or milibars, and, can voice over tell us what the readings are? I just enjoy all the weather related things, and this function on a phone would have me very happy indeed. Regards Jan - Original Message - From: "Sieghard Weitzel" To: Sent: Monday, October 06, 2014 7:34 PM Subject: RE: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6? 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".

Re: [Blindgeekzone] FW: 5 IOS 8 Flaws You Should Know
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.

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.

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

Re: Qoo was Re: About timely: I am revoking my recommendation
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. Regards Jan Kleinhans - Original Message - From: "Raul A.

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.

Some questions on the overcast weather app
Hi On the subject of weather apps - I am in South Africa, and downloaded overcast the other day. It is straight forward, as mentioned by someone, but I have a question: 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? Regards Jan Kleinhans -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

On the subject of Zello
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.

Re: Using navigon with Siri
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.

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.

Sharing contacts
Hi all 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
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
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.

Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s
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.

Re: Audio messaging in i-message with the iPhone 4s
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. Thanks all the same for the suggestions.

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.

Can others using the 4S with the latest Ios update indeed perform this action? Thanks for any help in the regard.

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

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search
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.

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.

In your instance, it was an unfair comparison, disadvantaging 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.

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 Jan Kleinhans -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Re: Location tracking, some clarification needed
Hi Thanks for that. Yes, I've seen this with maps. But, google maps for 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. Jan Kleinhans - Original Message - From: Tom Lange To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, December 08, 2014 6:30 AM Subject: Re: Location tracking, some clarification needed 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.

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.

Re: Wireless Doorbell
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. Jan Kleinhans - Original Message - From: "RobH."

Problem with skype notifications
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. Jan Kleinhans -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

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

Re: Problem upgrading iPhone 5s to Ios 8.3
Hi 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. Regards and thanks for all the help. Jan - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2015 5:12 PM Subject: RE: Problem upgrading iPhone 5s to Ios 8.3 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 Thank you very much, lots of logic in this reply. I will certainly pass this on, and my friend can now try this. It is certainly better to be safe than sorry later on. Regards Jan - Original Message - From: "Sieghard Weitzel" To: Sent: Friday, May 29, 2015 5:38 AM Subject: RE: Problem upgrading iPhone 5s to Ios 8.3 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.

Problem sharing notes via whatsapp
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. Jan Kleinhans -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Info under the battery setting on iphone 4s
Hi all After updating my 4S to ios 9.0.1 I don't seem to see how much battery apps are using when looking under the battery section in settings. Would this only be my 4S or are there others using the 4s that can tell me if it is the same for them? Might I be missing something here? I can see the other things like standby time and so on, but nothing about the list of apps and how much battery each app used. Any info appreciated.

Blocking undisclosed numbers on a 4S

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?

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

Re: Blocking unwanted calls on the iPhone
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.

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 circulation, but there you go.

Navigan questions?
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.

Birthdays via the contacts and the calendar
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?

Re: Birthdays via the contacts and the calendar
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.

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.

Re: Birthdays via the contacts and the calendar
Hi This does indeed help, I will then check that setting to see if it is on indeed, as this just did not seem to happen for me with events saved in that way. I will try this. Thanks very much. Jan - Original Message - From: Chris Chaffin To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2016 5:10 PM Subject: Re: Birthdays via the contacts and the calendar 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. Chris On Jan 13, 2016, at 8:06 AM, Jan Kleinhans wrote: 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?

Re: accessible weather stations/iPhone apps?
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.

Iphone 5s and the lightning connector
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?

Hi Sieghard Thanks for answering this. It was indeed the wall charger, and I will see what will happen now after setting the phone up.

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.

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.

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?

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
Hi And if I have to ever buy an adapter for the normal earphones my phone will then be bigger rather than smaller as seems to be the reason for wanting to get rid of the jack. Jan Kleinhans - Original Message - From: Daniel Miller To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2015 8:04 PM Subject: 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.

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.

I've also had a lot of private email and comments on this as well, and I know dozens of you have completed Apple's feedback form. So thanks for having your say. Thanks to all this feedback, I was able to write a new blog post that I think captures more of our concerns on this topic, and crystallises the issues better.

Birthdays in contacts and Siri
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.
