Have a question about the Air pod Max headphones I'm getting.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

My Niece got a pair of these for her birthday, and I was very impressed, 
particularly with the noise cancelation. I decided to get a pair of my own, but 
I have a question about them. I'd like to have my iPhone and PC paired with 
them at the same time, so what I could do is switch between these sources.  Is 
this possible, and what other cool things could I do with them?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

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

RE: Nest. Learning thermostat.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

How do you use apps like IRA with an app on the smart phone? I think that’s 
what is wanted, rather than working with the thermostat.

I have used AIRA for a similar situation with a different thermostat with a 
flat screen.  They can see where you are putting your finger and guide you to 
the right place.

when it’s a touchscreen. Sounds pretty complicated to me.  There’s two googles

RE: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I'll throw another power bank to consider. It's a lot more expensive, but for 
what it does, it's great. Check out

http://goalzero.com

They make a battery that works quite well. I have two of these, the Yeti 200X 
and the Yeti 1000X. The numbers refer to the wattage these give. The 200X has 
an AC plug on it, two USB A, 2 USB c, and a 12 volt plug, which is a lighter 
adaptor. It has a display on it, and weighs six pounds. I put it in a back pack 
to power my 5G hot spot. The 1000X has the same plugs on it, with the addition 
of a second AC outlet. As I said, these ain't cheap, the 200X costing about 
$300, and the 1000X costing about $1,400. The 1000X is pretty large, but I got 
it for a long lasting backup to power my internet, computer, and smart 
speakers. If you want portability, what I'm mentioning isn't the best solution, 
but it works for me.

Just throwing something out there. Oh yeah, the 1000X can have another battery 
added to it to give even longer lasting backup. I might do that at a later 
time, but I think this adds $400 to the cost. These batteries also can have 
solar cells added to them to charge them.

An odd issue with Siri in iOS 16.0.1

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I've encountered an odd issue when using Siri in the latest iOS, or at least 
this will change tonight. I have Hey Siri turned on. I'm so used to pressing 
the side button to activate it, that I still do that. I ask Siri to call a 
number. It starts talking to confirm what I want, and midway through its 
speech, the voice abruptly stops. I think it's Siri waiting for my 
confirmation, because when I say "Yes" it informs me it's calling the number I 
want.

Anyone else having this issue?

RE: Wi-Fi Downloading VS Cellular.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Be careful with so called unlimited data with cell service. It might get to 
about 25 gigs of use, then it could be throttled back to 3G or 2G speed, which 
is something like 128 kbps. Straight Talk and Spectrum do this. These services 
aren't lying when they say you have unlimited data, because you can use as much 
data as you like, but it will be painfully slow.

Richard, I believe you, but that isn't true in my case.  My WIFI that I have is

use it when watching movies, streaming music, or downloading audio books.  I 
wish my WIFI and internet were better, but they aren't.  My internet is bad 
also.  I can only download at around 700 KBPS and I'm lucky if I can upload at 
80 KBPS, so don't do that often.  Those of you who have good WIFI count 
yourselves fortunate, because everyone doesn't have blazing fast WIFI.  Never

Very impressed with Eloquence on my iPhone.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Last year I tried Eloquence on my iPhone. It sounded like it was 
overmodulating, and lowering the volume didn't fix it. In iOS 17, this seems to 
be fixed. I'm happy about this, and am using it as my voice of choice.

Just sharing my good thing for the day.

RE: Wishing for a Simple WalkieTalkie App for iOS

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I'm also a licensed ham, and used to have Echo Link. I could see a problem 
trying to use it as a walkie talkie app, and it's the latency. Unless Echo Link 
has improved since I used it, sometimes there could be at least a 10 second 
delay from when a station started talking and when the other heard what was 
said.

Maybe this has changed.

being a real radio nut as well, that is what I would very probably also do. 
if you don't want to go through all the hassle of getting that licence however, 
there are sets that are licence free, such as CB sets, those on the 49MHZ band, 
and those on the 446MHZ band.
not sure if there are any regulations about using such sets in airports 
however, and you wouldn't get the echolink app access either.

Mark, being the ham radio op that I am, I can't resist the temptation to 
suggest you get a ham radio license.  That would enable you to use a "handy 
talky" which would allow for great communication.  The two of you might have 
been able to use an app called echolink.

Subject: Wishing for a Simple WalkieTalkie App for iOS

Hello Everyone,

Earlier this weekend I and a friend were up in the San Francisco airport 
waiting on a flight back to Los Angeles.

As we had quite a bit of time before our flight, we decided to explore the 
airport, separately, and meet back at the gate after a While.

I thought this would be a great opportunity to actually use the Walkie 
Talkie app on our Apple Watches to stay in touch.

It didn't work as well as I had hoped.  For one thing, there were so many 
people crowded in the airport that I couldn't hear the speaker on the watch 
when she tried to reach me.  Add the ambient noise of all the people, 
coupled with the endless and continuous flight announcements, and, for me, 
at least, it was an impossible situation.  I had to hold my wrist against my 
ear and I felt silly doing it and my arm got tired, very quickly.

Second, when I tried to use my Airpods to connect directly to the watch???
Well, let's just say that my VoiceOver / Walkie Talkie app experience was 
not a good one.

Although I have used the walkie talkie app many, many times, when at home, 
this was the first time I had tried using it out in the wild, as it were.

She told me that she could not hear me on her watch, either, for the same 
reason.  Now she has quote, normal, quote hearing, relative to mine; so I 
know that the problem was not completely owing to my poor hearing.

So, the question:

Can you recommend a simple push-to-talk walkie talkie app that will work on 
iPhone?

When I search the app store I see so many but really have no idea of which 
one is best for VoiceOver users.

Now I just want a simple app that works as much like the walkie talkie app 
on the watch but, of course, works on the phone.

I read, somewhere, that Microsoft Team has a pretty good walkie talkie app 
feature but I'm not certain if it will work in a non-enterprise scenario, 
between only 2 people.

Just so you know, we ended up using text messages to stay in contact in the 
airport but it would have been nice to use a more direct voice interface.

All replies greatly appreciated.

Mark

RE: Bluetooth keyboard question

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I think I have this keyboard. I liked it.

Just one thing to mention about it. If you pair it with a PC, you have to press 
the FN key along with the function keys to get what's expected. There is a 
program to remedy this, but I don't remember what it is.

Just something to think about.

With the K-380, you can pair up to three devices with it. As Tony says, hold 
down the F1 through F3 key for about five seconds or so and then look for it on 
your device. You can then use the F1 through F3 key to have it jump from device 
to device.

Alex,

you select the device in bluetooth settings, then press (think) the number  1 
key for the iPhone and hold for about four seconds or until the light changes 
if the latter  is of any use to you.

If not the number one then try F1 but think the former.

It's a while since I had to do that.

Good luck,

Tony

Hi.

I think what is meant by restarting the iPhone is it’s done while the phone is

RE: An Alexa Compatible Thermostat, Anyone?

Subject: RE: An Alexa Compatible Thermostat, Anyone?

You definitely want to talk to an installer if you have a Heat pump since not 
all thermostats can handle them.
As for the C wire that is strictly a third wire which delivers power to the 
thermostat, I believe 12 or 24 Volts and you most likely have it.
My 26-year old gas furnace which when I bought the house had one of these $10 
or $15 thermostats with a physical slider only had 2-wire cables running to the 
thermostats, but the furnace has a terminal for the third wire so when I bought 
our Honeywell T5 smart thermostat I installed it where the old thermostat was 
which is downstairs and  more or less on the other side of the wall from the 
furnace so it was easy to just pull a 3-wire cable through the wall.
I am most likely getting rid of natural gas entirely next year switching to a 
high-efficiency cold climate heat pump with backup electric heat and at that 
point I will have to see which thermostat I can use. When I renovated the 
building where my retail store is located and installed 2 rooftop Anmerican 
Standard heat pump with natural gas backup units I had to also go with a 
thermostat from American Standard since any of the consumer models you 
typically see like Google Nest, Ecobee and so on were not compatible. However, 
the app is also accessible and it can also be connected to Alexa and/or Google 
Home so it really didn't matter.
I wish I could get away with only an air source heat pump, but where I live in 
northwestern British Columbia it unfortunately can get too cold for that to be 
an option and you still need a backup heat source which means either electric 
or natural gas. Our government really pushes electric and to get rid of natural 
gas altogether because British Columbia gets well over 90% of its power from 
hydro electric sources, primarily 2 and soon it will be 3 dams in a row on the 
Peace River in Northeastern BC so we have clean power and plenty of it. We also 
have a wood stove which I love to use when it's really cold as it's just the 
most pleasant and comfortable type of heat. The week before Christmas we had 
more than a week with temperatures of -30 to -35 Celsius at night (that's -22 
to -27 Fahrenheit) and during the day it rarely got warmer than -25 Celsius 
(-13 Fahrenheit) and here my setup works great, our thermostat is in the 
basement which is used rarely so we just set it to 16 Celsius (60 Fahrenheit), 
I then close all vents upstairs and run the woodstove which heats our open 
concept 1,100 square foot upstairs perfectly and the furnace comes on for maybe 
5 minutes once or twice an hour.

Hi Mark,

I have a Honeywell thermostat, which I access via Alexa to perform basic 
functions.  Yes, I had to register with Honeywell and/or Total Connect Comfort 
(TCC), but I don't recall the process being difficult.  I've had this 
thermostat for several years, and only recently discovered it could be accessed 
via Alexa.  The process of connecting Alexa to the device was easy as I recall.

The thermostat can be accessed via the TCC app, which is very accessible via 
voiceover.  When I first got the thermostat years ago, before I found out about 
the app, JAWS had trouble accessing all features (e.g. programming the device), 
so I relied on sighted help.  However, JAWS had no problem at all with the 
website when I tried a year or so ago.  Rarely go to the website though as the 
TCC app is great for programming, etc.  And, again Alexa does a great job with 
the basics like ID of indoor temperature, changing the temperature, etc.

Hello Everyone,

Okay, I know that I have asked this question before but, now that I must buy a 
new thermostat for my home, within the next week or so, as my 32 year old model 
is starting to fail on a virtually daily basis, what Alexa compatible 
thermostat do you either recommend and / or are currently using?

I am aware of the Nest brand models; I thought they were Google-only models but 
I think they also can work with Alexa, right?  Does anyone have any experience 
with Nest / Alexa compatibility?  

Also, I know that Honeywell makes Alexa models but, from what I have read on 
the web, today, one must setup an online account with Honeywell before the 
device can be used with Alexa.  That sounds like a lot of trouble to me; maybe.

The only thing I know for certain is that I want a model that will work with 
Amazon Alexa, out of the box, because I do not want to use a third-party app, 
is I can avoid doing so.

I have come to trust the Alexa app for iOS and iPad OS.

Mark

A couple odd things going on with iOS 16.2

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I'm not sure if this is a Voiceover thing or not, but two things are happening 
on my iPhone 13 Pro Max that are odd.

The first one happens if I try to use Siri to open an app. I have an unlock 
code on my phone, so what should happen is I tell Siri to open settings, and 
then I enter the unlock code to get there. What's happening is I tell my phone 
to open whatever, Voiceover informs me to enter the unlock code, then the time 
is announced, and there is no unlock screen. What's happening is the unlock 
code entry screen appears, immediately followed by the lock screen. What I end 
up doing is sliding my finger up the screen, and the unlock code entry screen 
sticks. Anyone else running into this?

The other one is when I get a call. I have Voiceover announce who's calling. I 
received a call today, and there was no announcement for several seconds. I 
thought it wasn't working.

Any thoughts? I'll try rebooting my phone to see if that fixes things.

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

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I've noticed an odd thing happen when I'm trying to unlock my phone. Let's say 
I want to get to Settings. I have my iPhone 13 Pro Max locked. I tell Siri to 
open Settings. I get the message that I need to unlock my phone. So far, so 
good. Problem is actually trying to enter the unlock code. What my phone does 
is bring up the lock screen, and I can't enter the code. The only way I can do 
it is to act like I'm manually getting to the unlock code, then it works.

Anyone else notice this?

RE: Need recommendation for power Bank for Apple Watch Series 8

[Kevin Minor]

Hi Sherrie.

I've never heard it called a power bank, but I think all it is is a large 
capacity battery that you plug cables into to charge what you want. You can 
also charge several things at once. If I'm right, your power bank uses large 
USB connectors to charge things.

If I'm right on this, there's a cheaper way to get power to your watch charger. 
The watch chargers that I have use USB-Cconnectors, whereas your power 
bank uses USB A adaptors.

Something that works for my situation is a female USB C to female USB A 
adaptor. It's very small, not connecting the adaptors with a cable. All you do 
is plug the small plug of the charger into it, then plug the large end into the 
power bank. Works like a charm, and I think Amazon sells a set of four for $4. 
Work not only in a power bank, but also works to get USB-C in things that use 
USB-A, such as old chargers.

Hope this helps.

Kevin and Jilly

Subject: Need recommendation for power Bank for Apple Watch Series 8

I have multiple power banks for my iPhone, and they all have a USB output. None 
of them work with my new Apple Watch. I have been scouring Amazon reading about 
possible, watch power banks, but thought it would be good to get 
recommendations of what might really work. So if you have a power bank for your 
watch, please let me know which one you have if it is a good one.
Thanks so much,

RE: Choosing betweeen Apple Watch 7 and SE 2

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

If you're someone who has your iPhone on you wherever you go, or you're always 
in Bluetooth range of your iPhone, you probably don't need the cell feature of 
an Apple Watch. Even if you have the cell feature on your watch, as long as 
your iPhone is in range, the watch defaults to using your phone to do 
everything. Just know that you might be amazed where you'll be at home, such as 
going outside without your phone, and the watch won't be in range of the phone. 
The Watch will still give the time, but anything internet related won't work, 
and that's a lot of things.

I am not sure when the fall detection came in, bu the Series 6 might be the 
first one with the blood oxygen measurement.
Frankly, the fall detection is nothing to write home about.
It has gone off when I was tossing cloths in the dryer, but when I sat down on 
an 18 inch high stool and got off centered and fell hard enough to crack four 
ribs, it did nothing.

RE: What are the advantages of buying Apple Watch series 8 over series 7?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

When I got my Series 7 Watch, I decided to get the cell feature. It was more a 
novelty thing for me, but it sure came in handy today. I was wearing my watch, 
and decided to take the garbage out. I was wearing clothes with no pockets in 
them, so I had no way to carry my phone with me. In the process of taking the 
garbage to the dumpster, I got disoriented, and was unsure where I was. 
Thankfully, I was able to make a call to the office and have them look for me.

Just goes to show these things come in handy.

Another thing to consider is if you really need a cellular version.  I have had 
both and for me it’s not worth it.  I have my phone with me all the time, so 
having cellular on the watch is pretty much useless.  That’s not to say if you 
want to be untethered from your phone, then the cellular might be worth it.  
But, remember if you put the service on your phone it’s going to be $10 to $20 
a month plus taxes ..

RE: What are the advantages of buying Apple Watch series 8 over series 7?

Hi.

I have a Series 7 Apple Watch that I bought as a Birthday present for myself. 
I'm very happy with it. I thought about upgrading to a Series 8, but the only 
thing that I know it does that mine won't is to measure body temperature. The 
Series 8 might have a little more battery level, but it wasn't enough for me to 
upgrade it.

RE: Help! lost volume on Apple Watch

Hi.

Try holding the side button and crown at the same time for about ten seconds. 
This will reset the watch. I've had something like this happen to me once, and

everything working again.

Hope this works for you.

I got an Apple Watch on Wednesday and like it for the most part. However, I 
just finished going over the results of a workout I just did and was about to 
do something else when I lost all sound. I went into the watch app on the 
phone, and VoiceOver volume is set to 33 percent, which is where I normally 
have it. I increased it anyway to see if anything would happen, but nothing 
did. Alert volume, however, is now at 0 percent and is dimmed, so I can't 
change it, so I don't think it's a VoiceOver issue. Does anyone know how I can

notification. It’s still there. If I flick up, instead of clear, there’s a 
dismiss option. If I activate that option, the notification is gone.

Just letting folks know what works for me.

For me a notification sometimes seems to still be there, but if I flick down 
nothing happens so it's actually gone but Voiceover still thinks it is there. 
Usually if I flick to another notification and back it then sorts Itself out.

RE: I don't know how to charge my airpods pro 2nd gen

[Kevin Minor]

Hi Kim.

I don't know what kind of charging cable the airpods come with, but if it's 
like what Apple has done with other cables, such as for the apple watch and 
iPhone, it now uses a USB C connector to get power. It's a smaller USB 
connector, and won't fit into the larger ones. The larger connectors on 
computers a few years old are USB A. Apple and other manufacturers have 
switched to C. If I'm right, you'll need something to either plug into the wall 
to charge them, or Amazon sells a USB A to USB C adaptor.

I learned all this the hard way with my Apple Watch charging cable that I got. 
Wish Apple would have let people know this.

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

Is there a way to get a finer adjustment of the speech rate in Voiceover on my iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 16?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I upgraded to iOS 16 Monday night, and noticed that Alex at 50% seemed 
significantly slower. I changed the rotar to speaking rate, and increased it to 
55%. It was speaking a lot faster, so I was hoping to go somewhere in between. 
I went into Voiceover settings, and tried to slow the rate down. To my 
surprise, I went from 55% to 45%, so it was even worse, and I thought I could 
make finer adjustments there. Is there somewhere I can make a happy medium 
between the huge change in Voiceover, and the smaller, but not small enough, 
change on the home screen?

Thanks in advance.

RE: New voices iOS 16

[Kevin Minor]

Hi Esther and all.

I think it’s important to match the voice with what we think it is. I’ve been 
using Eloquence since Henter-Joyce released it for JAWS, and I don’t remember 
one named Perfect Paul. I do remember that voice with Dec Talk, whether the 
hardware hooked to a PC, Dec Talk Access 32, which was software based, or even 
Text Assist, which was part of the Sound Blaster cards. All of those had a 
voice called Perfect Paul.

If you want to hear what that voice sounds like, there’s an easy way to do it. 
Just look for stuff where Stephen Hawking is talking. He’s using a computer 
voice to do so, because ALS made it impossible for him to speak. He used a 
thing called a Liberator, where he used a head pointer to point to a certain 
symbol on a screen. He’d blink to let the system know it was what was wanted, 
then a voice would speak for him. The think that generated the speech was a Dec 
Talk Express, and his voice of choice was Perfect Paul. Pink Floyd, in their 
song Keep Talking sampled that voice in their song. Also, the band Kraftwerk 
used it as well in the song Techno Pop.

Just some things I know that might help all know if we’re talking about the 
same voice or not.

If anything, it seems like my usual 60 percent with Tom Enhanced and now with 
Jamie premium or enhanced, whatever it is, is a tiny bit faster.
I slowed them down to 55% and that seems closer to what I had before.  
Interesting.

iPhone 13 pro.

Subject: Anyone else have Voiceover speak slower since iOS 16?

Hi.

I’m not one of those that has Voiceover speak very fast. I was happy with 50% 
speaking rate. When I upgraded to iOS 16, however, the speech is noticeably 
slower. I checked the rate, and it’s still at 50%. I increased it on the home 
screen to 55%, and it significantly got faster than what I’m used to on my 
phone. I think it will work, so I’m not that worried about it. I guess I could 
make a finer adjustment in Voiceover settings, so I might do that in the end.

This is just information, and not really a complaint.

Most of the tracking is necessary in order for the phone and its Apps to

is if the phone doesn’t know where I am located?

And, this really isn’t any kind of  a secret since, there are numerous articles

That is not a secret, nor has it ever been a secret.

If people would take the time to read and explore the settings on any device, 
they would already know this.

I find it annoying that people like Kim Commando make it sound like Apple is 
doing something devious.

It isn’t Apple’s fault people don’t bother checking the security settings they

RE: Can I Use Touch ID Instead of Pass Code

[Kevin Minor]

Hi Margaret.

I used to have an old iPhone with touch id. I don't think I had to enter my

I also wish touch id were on the newer phones. I found them much easier than 
face id.

Subject: Can I Use Touch ID Instead of Pass Code

Good Evening:

The recent Face ID hit or miss thread caught my interest since, like the 
original poster, I have an iPhone SE 2020 and like Touch ID.

The SE2020 is my first smart phone and is my back up  with my land line being 
my primary phone.  I have the cell powered off most of the time and might power 
it on for texting or to check the weather app etc.  I have Apple ID, Touch ID, 
and Pass Code set up and have purchased an app on the App Store.  The way 
things are set up, I have to type in my pass code when I power up.  I can 
usually do it correctly the first or second time so typing it isn't the 
problem; I'd prefer to use Touch Id instead if possible.  I am not in a work or 
school situation and my house does not resemble Grand Central Station and I do 
not have a lot of personal information on the cell.

The original post did say locked and not powered off.  When I first got the 
cell and was trying to follow along with a tutorial, the phone kept saying 
locked what sounded every 30 seconds and locked became a "dirty" 
word and I never investigated what it was good for.  I turned lock to never.  
I'm using the phone a little more now and would be willing to change that if 
someone could explain why it would be good when I use the phone so little.  I'd 
greatly appreciate knowing if I can keep the pass code for when I needed it for 
other things and could use Touch ID when powering on.
  Thanks,

Margaret

Hi all,
Subject pretty much says it all. I just bought an iPhone 13 mini and have set 
up Face ID with no difficulty; however, it seems that it'll work two or three 
times and then will require me to use my pass code to unlock my phone. I am 
getting very tempted to put my SIM card back in my SE 20 lol. It's much easier 
to just reach over and unlock it with my finger than to pick up my mini and 
hope I can get it to unlock without having to type in my pass code. Any 
suggestions would be appreciated. 
Thanks for reading.

RE: Snooze alarm.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

A way to stop an alarm is with Siri. The way I do it is to tell it to remove 
that specific alarm. If the alarm you're setting is for every day or weekdays, 
it would mean setting it up again, but again, Siri is your friend.

Just a thought.

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

OK, are you trying to edit occur an alarm or add a new one? If you're adding a 
new one, there is a picker, on mine that says 2 o'clock. I can easily flip up 
or down to adjust the hour. Or the minute. And if you're in the alarm, the 
snooze button is just directly past the sound button. And mine currently says 
on.

RE: iPhone question.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Evidently, screen curtain works differently now. When I learned how it worked, 
what I read was it didn’t effect the screen brightness. All it did was to have 
all the pixels show black, rather than turn them off.

I don’t know what’s done with it.

Screen brightness only impacts what someone sees on your physical phone, it 
doesn’t have any impact on anything you send.

I know Apple and others do not agree with me, but I simply set screen 
brightness to auto, turn on the screen curtain, which means the brightness will 
be at 0 very shortly.
Then, if someone sighted needs to see my phone, I either toggle the screen 
curtain off, or toggle VoiceOver off and the screen brightness adjusts to the 
room lighting so they can see it fine.
I do this all the time with my wife so she can see my screen when needed.

And, charging once a day is normal.  I have the 13 Pro and get a full day’s use 
on a charge and I use it a lot.

IF I forget to turn on the screen curtain, I notice a definite drop in battery 
life.

Logic says, if the screen brightness takes more juice, doing what I do uses 
less juice, the same as manually lower the screen brightness.

RE: Bug Resolved in Latest iOS Update: RE: A Question for Those Experiencing Siri Not Dialing Phone Numbers Beginning with Symbols

[Kevin Minor]

Hi Mark.

I originally ran into what I'll describe on an iPhone X. Since then I got an 
iPhone 13 Pro Max, and iOS 15.6.1, and still have the problem, although I don't 
think it's as bad.

Here's what I do to have it happen.

I use Siri to call someone in my contacts on my Watch. It works great.

I then decide to use my phone to call the same person I did on my Watch. I tell 
Siri on my phone to call that person in my contacts. I don't know if it happens 
every time, but often there is a long pause after Siri confirms things, then 
the iPhone makes a nice little sound indicating I'm back on the lock screen, 
which was where I started.

The only way I know to resolve this is to power off and back on my phone.

I'm almost positive this is iOS related, because I'm having the same thing 
happen on both phones I use.

Anyone else running into what I am?

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

Kevin, Valerie and Jilly

Interesting.

I updated to 15.6.1, earlier today, and everything is working as expected.  

Are you using an 8 or a later model?

When you say that you are dialing numbers using your watch, can you please

certain contact?

Hi.

I'm still having the issue where I tell Siri a name in my contacts, and it 
sometimes doesn't call the number. There are only numbers in these, and it 
happens if I dialed that number with my Watch, then try to do it with my 
iPhone. I have 15.6.1, at least what I have is up to date.

Subject: Bug Resolved in Latest iOS Update: RE: A Question for Those 
Experiencing Siri Not Dialing Phone Numbers Beginning with Symbols

Hello Everyone,

Well, upon updating my beloved 8 Plus to the latest version of iOS, today, I 
was absolutely delighted to discover that Siri will, once again, dial telephone 
numbers that begin with prefix dialing codes as described in my original post 
on this subject, listed below.

Subject: A Question for Those Experiencing Siri Not Dialing Phone Numbers 
Beginning with Symbols

Hello Everyone,

I am just going to put this out there and if anyone knows of a solution, please 
pass it on.  

I have researched this bug, on the web, and a great deal of people are 
reporting the problem.  I, as yet, have not discovered a solution.

If the following makes no sense to you, then just ignore it.

In iOS15.4.1, Siri will not Dial Telephone Numbers that Begin with a Symbol

On some Wireless networks, one can selectively display one's CallerID by 
inserting a prefix symbol sequence in front of a telephone number.  

Please note that the prefix symbol sequence continues to function as expected 
when one manually selects the phone number from the Contacts list or from the 
Favorites page in the Phone app.  The bug does not appear until one attempts to 
use Siri to dial a contact, hands-free.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug:
1.
Create a Contact with a local telephone number that includes the prefix symbol 
sequence of *31#.  For example "*31#2125551212" (without the quotation 
symbols.)  This will allow the contact (John Doe) to see your telephone number 
even when the show caller ID setting is disabled, in the Phone app.

2.
>From the Settings area, select the Phone app.

3.
Set [SHOW MY CALLER ID] to OFF.

4.
Say to Siri, "Call John Doe."  Siri will respond with "Calling John Doe" and 
the phone app will appear.  After a few seconds, however, the phone app 
disappears and no call is placed.

Mark

RE: how to answer phone call using an apple watch

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

To answer a call on the Apple Watch, look for the answer button on it, then do 
a one finger double tap on it. A 2 finger double tap doesn’t work.

Hope this helps.

Hi,



I am still not able to figure out how to answer an incoming call from my apple 
watch. It is a series 7 watch.  I have it paired to my phone.



When the call comes in and the phone starts ringing and the watch is making its 
sound how do I answer the call on the watch?  I have tried pressing the crown, 
tapping the screen on the watch, swiping the watch face to see if there is an 
answer button there but nothing seems to work.



Any help is appreciated.

RE: Apple watch

[Kevin Minor]

Hi Loreal.

I listened to a tutorial on initially pairing the watch. The steps were done so 
quickly that I’m not remembering everything. I’ll tell you what I remember, and 
perhaps this will be enough to get you there.

First, on the Apple Watch, set the language and region.

Once that’s done, you should find an option to start pairing the Watch.

Here’s where I’m a little unsure. You need to know the name of your Watch so 
you can pair it with the iPhone. It’s a Bluetooth name, so it will be a bit 
cryptic. It’s what you need to know to find it on the iPhone.

Whether you get it before you start the Watch pairing or after is what I don’t 
know. However it is, get where it tells you to get the image in the camera of 
the phone.

Once on that seemingly useless image, examine the watch screen with Voiceover. 
You’ll find a Pair Manually button, and that’s what you want to double tap.

Now, go to the Watch app on your phone, and start pairing on it.

Find your watch on the next screen and double tap on it.

If I remember correctly, the watch will announce a 6 digit code. Enter it on 
the phone app.

If all goes well, your Watch and phone will now be paired.


That’s what I remember. If you still have problems, let me know and I’ll listen 
to the tutorial again.

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

Kevin, Valerie and Jilly

I don’t need help in how to reset the watch. What I  needhelp with is once I 
reset the watch, how do I initiate the first pairing of it with my phone? The 
point at which your phone tells you to put the watch in the frame. Obviously 
this is in reference to the camera. But there must be a way for a completely 
blind individual to set an Apple Watch up from fresh out of the box, including 
pairing it to the phone.

If you just want to reset the watch, do one of the two following.

Press and hold the crown and side button at the same time for 10 seconds.

The other method might be where you’ll find other reset things. On your iPhone,

RE: Question about text messages

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I gave my Girlfriend my old iPhone X. We went to the Apple Store to have it 
wiped. When she got home, she tried to send a text to her Brother. He has an 
Android. It didn’t work. I had her turn on SMS and MMS on her iPhone, and she 
can send texts to him. I don’t think SMS is just for Androids, because it was 
used in the 90’s, when pagers and flip phones were the thing.

Just what I know.

RE: Question about text messages

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I'm not so sure a cell signal is needed to send texts between an Android and an 
iPhone. I can't remember where the setting is in the iPhone, but SMS and MMS 
need to be on. It might be in Messages in Settings on the iPhone.

RE: Spectrum Mobile

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Be careful about the unlimited plan. I know other mobile providers offer 
unlimited plans, and they technically are, but once a certain amount of data is 
reached, the bandwidth is throttled back. The data is unlimited, but the speed 
goes way down. I can’t confirm Spectrum does this, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Subject: Spectrum Mobile

I have been using Spectrum since it came into existence. The way the service 
works is that Spectrum tries to use its hotspots to create and keep calls. If 
no hotspot is available and if you are not using Spectrum internet, then the 
Mobile service defaults to Verizon.

There are two options. The first gives you 1GB of data for $14.95 and the 
second gives you unlimited data for $42.95 I believe. Now, the data is all 
about Verizon use. So, if you are connected and Spectrum Mobile uses only 
Wi-Fi, then you incur no charges no matter how much data you use.

You also can switch between options at will. When I travel I switch to the 
unlimited version and then back again when I return home.

One thing to note is Spectrum uses Verizon as its cell network, at least they

RE: No speech on speaker of iPhone 13 Pro

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Sounds like the volume of your speaker has been turned all the way down. Get 
Voiceover speaking with the headphones unplugged, and increase it.

I've had that happen to me before. Oh yeah, the volume of your headphones is 
independent of your external speaker, so that's probably why you hear speech 
with them plugged in.

Hope this helps.

RE: NFL audio on the iPhone

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

The several seconds delay has been going on before digital technology was 
thought of. I remember hearing of it in the 1970’s. If something happened that 
the show didn’t want heard from a caller, the famous dump button was pressed, 
and there would either be a few seconds of dead air, or a tone would be 
broadcast to allow the delay system to be reset.

Now, nothing is really live on broadcast television, and this is true even on 
local stations. One thing I used to do was set my clocks to when a network 
broadcast started, and I remember the CBS television network broadcast a kind 
of ding when it was exactly the top of the hour. It’s not done anymore, and 
even if it were, it would be several seconds off. I noticed this change happen 
when all TV over the air stations went digital. I wish I had a shortwave 
receiver, because I’d like to find out how much a delay there is by comparing 
their transmission to good old WWV.

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

Kevin, that’s my understanding as well.  If you have ever called a talk show 
and they put u on hold, you will typically hear that what is coming from your 
radio is delayed a few seconds from what you hear through your headset.  Seems 
like the delay happened shortly after janet jackson’s wardrobe malfunction 
during the superbowl some years back.

heard on commercial radio. I wasn’t sure why, but this wasn’t an internet 
stream. I heard the possible reason why this was done, and it’s to protect the

An Explanation For the Delay In Radio Streaming

  *   Link to the source is at the end.
  *
We are going to try to explain the delay experienced in internet radio 
streaming. The audio can be up to five minutes behind what comes out of the 
original streaming source. For example, I hear the audio on my monitor speakers 
in my home radio studio. I turn on a mobile device, internet radio or Bose Wave 
radio in another room and the audio is about a minute or two or three behind 
what's coming from the studio audio source. We will try to explain a reason 
why. The following information was obtained from Quora.com.
The most noticeable difference between a radio station's broadcast signal and 
its corresponding Internet stream or Internet only radio stations is a 
significant delay. The same program is likely to come out of your computer 
speakers as much as five minutes later than it comes out of your radio. 
Surprisingly, technology accounts for only about 5% of the lag. The other 95% 
is a result of arguments over paychecks. (Disclaimer: those numbers were 
entirely made up.)
LATENCY: a billion little traffic jams
When I play a song on my radio station, it zooms out to every nearby radio at 
the speed of light. But online, delivery is restricted to the speed of Internet 
— a relatively pokey journey that starts when my song gets converted into a 
package of networthy digits. That conversion takes a fraction of a second. 
Before it gets to your iPad, my song will pass through scores of other network 
devices that each hold it for additional fractions of seconds. And those tiny 
delays start to pile up.
My favorite demonstration for guests: I can talk into my studio mic, which is 
live on the radio — then turn on an Internet feed and hear what I just said 
sixty seconds earlier. In that amount of time, my radio voice has gone halfway 
to Mars, while my Internet voice has only made a round-trip to Cincinnati by 
way of Mountain View.
The world's most expensive machine is slower than light, and slightly faster 
than yelling.

UNIONS: pay or don’t play
The biggest source of audio delay has nothing to do with technology, and 
everything to do with paychecks. Traditionally, when actors were hired to be in 
a commercial, the amount of money they got paid was roughly proportional to the 
number of people the commercial was expected to reach. Small towns paid small 
fees; national ad campaigns had big budgets and paid the fattest fees. 
Voiceover artists and their agents dreamed of working up to big juicy global 
endorsements.
Around the turn of the century, these actors had a wake-up call. Radio stations 
were starting to put their shows on the Internet. Commercials that had been 
created for single mid-sized cities were suddenly being played across the 
country. But the actors weren't getting the big national-spot fees their union 
had negotiated! Contracts were being violated. Lawsuits were threatened.
And radio stations knew they had a losing hand in this game. The law said that 
the union performers were owed much more money if their voices were broadly 
distributed. And where would that money come from? No station had yet figured 
out how to make a dime out of streaming radio.
The solution was one software upgrade away. Stations were already using 
computers to control playback of their audio. Developers created a feature that 
split the programming into two or more feeds. One would go to the broadcast 
transmitter, as always. The others would go to the Internet. And this new 
software could block the commercials that were being played on the radio 
station, instantly substituting different audio.
SO THERE'S ROOM TO PLAY MORE MUSIC? Uh, no.
Problem solved. Ads created by SAG-AFTRA union members stayed exclusively on 
the radio, as before. As for the empty space left behind by the vanishing 
commercials, someone suggested that it could be filled with more music. 
Internet listeners would love it, this person said, and that might help this 
new service catch on and become big.
That person was promptly fired.
Station owners realized that they could replace the legally questionable

Also, you do realize that if you have WiFi at home you could turn on Wi-Fi

Subject: Three questions concerning cell boosters

Hi.

Cell service for me isn’t the best inside my apartment and a small area 
outside. I’ve gotten a cell booster that I’m hoping will help the situation. 
With this in mind, I have some questions.

First, what I got is supposed to cover up to 4,500 square feet. Does this 
include outside where I live? It doesn’t need to do much to fill in the poor 
signal.

How difficult is it to get it up and working? I’m hoping I can do it with no 
sighted assistance.

Lastly, I know these things are carrier specific. I’ve gotten one that should 
work. My question is does it need something like a sim card to work, or is it 
like a repeater, just rebroadcasting what it receives?

Those are my questions. Any info anyone has is appreciated.

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

Kevin, Valerie and Jilly

RE: Three questions concerning cell boosters

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I don’t know the model, but the booster is sold by a company called Phonetone. 
It claims to have a coverage of 4,500 square feet. It should arrive today from 
Amazon. We’ll see how it does.

As for Wi-Fi calling, I didn’t think of that, The only thing I’m not sure of is 
if it would give me the coverage I’m looking for. It would work in my 
apartment, but I don’t know how far outside it would go. Whatever way this 
goes, I’ll keep the list updated.

If you don’t mind me asking, which exact make and model did you get and was it 
fairly expensive? Any cell boosters which are cheap will not do much, the good 
ones are all quite pricy as in several hundred Dollars.

Also, you do realize that if you have WiFi at home you could turn on Wi-Fi 
calling and the poor cell signal won’t matter much as your calls will go out 
via WiFi.

A couple of tips about the StarPlayrX app.

*  After selecting a channel, on the channel screen, you will see a preset 
toggle button.  This is the favorites button, so just double tap on it to turn 
it on and add it to your favorites.

* Now to find your favorites, just double tap on the All Stars choice on the 
main screen.  You will have 3 or 4 default stations that the app puts there, 
but after that will be listed your favorites.

So once you find the stations you want, add them to your favorites, and then 
there is no more searching.

A good and accessible app to play SiriusXM is called StarPlayrX.   It is simple

For 99¢, it seems to be more intuitive than the SiriusXM app in many ways.  I 
easily found the channel for Seattle Mariners and any other baseball team you 
would like, as well as NFL, etc.
It is far less cluttered than the SiriusXM app.

RE: 2022 Season NFL audio

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I think the NFL app isn't the only way to hear the games. If you have the 
Sirius XM skill on your Echo, you can also use the app on your smartphone, and 
I think the NFL games are there.

There's something else to mention about the NFL on the Sirius XM app. I'm not 
positive about this, but I think you can listen to prior games for up to a 
week. I wish I could do that on my Dot, but I'll settle for the live stuff.

I may be getting the NFL and NBA apps mixed up, but it might be the case that 
you won't see the audio button until the game is live.

To report an issue with the NFL, you can do the following:

As you have purchased NFL Game Pass in the USA, please contact their dedicated 
customer support team via the following link: 
https://digitalcare.nfl.com/hc/en-us/requests/new, or email directly; 
supp...@nfldigitalcare.zendesk.com

The problem I ran into last year was that VoiceOver couldn't get inside the 
mini-player, and the audio started muted, so there was no way to get into the 
mini-player and unmute the audio. I got nowhere with the ticket I opened, and 
since all purchases are final, I couldn't get refunded for the $99 annual 
subscription. I ended up opening a complaint with the DOJ under the ADA. My 
argument was that the NFL is keeping other services from carrying these audio 
streams making the only option their inaccessible player. The DOJ said they 
weren't pursuing the matter, but they'd keep it on file. I'd suggest others 
open up support tickets against the NFL and it's app, and even consider 
submitting a complaint to the DOJ.

I just downloaded the NFL app to my S E 2020 , intending to subscribe to the 
lower tier package so that I can listen to the audio for any home or away games.

Thus far, I have completely struck out to use a baseball analagy. I looked as 
carefully as I could but found nothing pertaining specifically to audio. There 
was a question asking the user to list their TV provider. The worst thing, 
however, is that the app has a significant number of unlabeled buttons.

I write in the hope that others can navigate this maze and provide pointers as 
to how to accomplish my objective.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

I wouldn’t count on knowing if Tunein will continue to broadcast the NFL games 
during the regular season or not. I’ve seen services work during the preseason, 
then stop when the regular season began.

As for me, I have Sirius XM, so that’s how I’ll get the games.

We’ll see what happens.

app wasn’t accessible, so I went as far as submitting a complaint to the DoJ

it in the records in case they ever decided to take any action against the NFL. 
I recently got a response to my support ticket asking if there was anything

This price is a lot cheaper then it used to be when you had to shell out $99 a 
year to get access to the radio broadcasts, but it’s still quite a bit more 
expensive than the NBA where you get all of the radio broadcasts for the entire 
season for $10.

For me, having set up phone to phone 3 of these, you can do it independently:
1.-Power on the new phone and turn Voiceover on it of course.
2.-after selecting the country and language, they’ll be a Popup in which you 
can select Manusl etup,thus have your old phone ready for this; have them both 
plugged into power just in case.
3.-within the Manual setup, you’ll have to enter a 6-digit pin the new phone

RE: RE: It May be Time to Review Your Wireless Plan

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

The term unlimited can be misleading. What I've found that the data is 
unlimited, but the speed you get it is throttled back if you go above a certain 
amount. I think Strait Talk gives you full speed up to 25 gigs of data, then 
they cut back the bandwidth a lot. I have what Spectrum calls unlimited data, 
and it does have a maximum amount.

Just letting you know.

Hi Carolyn, that's the way I did this last one. The lady over the phone offered 
to do everything for me. But since I only lived 3 miles away from the store I 
opted to just go to the store and grab my Sim cards instead of having them 
mailed to me. I don't know who you'll be able to switch to come when you go to 
your new place. But the deal that I have is actually fairly sweet. And they 
have top-notch customer service for both ends.

RE: App switcher

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I’m no expert on the App switcher, but I’d think some apps can run in the 
background. The one that comes to mind is GPS apps. I know that those will 
quickly drain a battery. What I don’t know is if they’ll still run if you go to 
another app.

Just thinking.

Apparently there is no definitive answer. Apple says leaving apps does not 
impact performance.
My experience as a former rehab instructor and my personal experience says that 
when the phone is not working correctly, sluggish, apps not opening, etc., 
clearing the app switcher solves the issue every time.

Hi Rob.

My girlfriend went back to the Apple Store. The problem was facial recognition

I, too, was unsuccessful raising the ringer volume using the volume up button 
even though the corresponding setting is turned on.  I suggest you go into 
settings and adjust the ringer volume up more.  When you change the volume in 
settings, the phone will play the ring tone at the new volume.  Even if you 
then lower the volume back to the level it was at before, adjusting it in 
settings may solve the problem.

her use the volume up button to increase the volume, but the tone stops when 
she does that. What I don’t understand is when she goes into the sound 
settings, the ring tone is at a great volume. How do I tell her to increase the 
ring tone volume? I called Apple, and they finally recommended making a trip to 
the Apple store.

Any ideas? I think this is a simple fix, but I don’t know what to do.

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

RE: Getting the ring tone volume louder on an iPhone X when the phone rings

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I’m not finding anything specifically for ringer volume. The only thing I’m 
finding is sound volume.

The only thing I can think to try is to lower and raise the sound volume.

Any more ideas would be appreciated.

I, too, was unsuccessful raising the ringer volume using the volume up button 
even though the corresponding setting is turned on.  I suggest you go into 
settings and adjust the ringer volume up more.  When you change the volume in 
settings, the phone will play the ring tone at the new volume.  Even if you 
then lower the volume back to the level it was at before, adjusting it in 
settings may solve the problem.

RE: A Question for Those Experiencing Siri Not Dialing Phone Numbers Beginning with Symbols

Hi Mark.

I've had what you're reporting happen on my Apple Watch as well. Usually, 
rebooting my phone fixed that problem, but once I also had to reboot my watch 
to fix it.

Hello Everyone,

As a follow up, as I forgot to mention this, in my original post:
Please note that this bug does not occur on Apple Watch.  This is to say, Siri 
on the Apple Watch will, in fact, dial a contact, as expected, regardless of 
any prefix symbol sequence.

So, what I am currently doing, as a workaround is using Siri on my Apple Watch 
to initiate a call, then, once connected, I transfer the call to my phone.

For me, this bug only occurs, on iPhone, when using Siri to dial a number that 
begins with a symbol sequence prefix.

Hello Mike,

This is great news and thank you for letting us know.

I sent a very detailed bug report to Apple on this one but I am delighted to 
learn that you have engaged an engineer for live feedback.

For years I have been petitioning  Apple to allow users to toggle the Caller ID 
display option for each Contact.  

For the record, such an option existed back in the Windows Mobile days.  It was 
one of the first things I missed when I first switched to iPhone.

Hi Mark,
 
I just spent 3 days of going back and forth with a very understanding Apple 
agent.  He finally took the time to fully understand the problem instead just 
shlepping me off and blaming my carrier like a couple of other Apple agents did 
and blaming Apple like Verizon did.
 
Well, after escalating the problem it was determined it's indeed an iOS problem 
and is supposed to be resolved as soon as they can figure what the hell it is!  
LOL  
 
Now, how's that for some positive feedback?!  LOL

Beginning with Symbols

Hello Everyone,

I am just going to put this out there and if anyone knows of a solution, please 
pass it on.  

I have researched this bug, on the web, and a great deal of people are 
reporting the problem.  I, as yet, have not discovered a solution.

If the following makes no sense to you, then just ignore it.

In iOS15.4.1, Siri will not Dial Telephone Numbers that Begin with a Symbol

On some Wireless networks, one can selectively display one's CallerID by 
inserting a prefix symbol sequence in front of a telephone number.  

Please note that the prefix symbol sequence continues to function as expected 
when one manually selects the phone number from the Contacts list or from the 
Favorites page in the Phone app.  The bug does not appear until one attempts to 
use Siri to dial a contact, hands-free.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug:
1.
Create a Contact with a local telephone number that includes the prefix symbol 
sequence of *31#.  For example "*31#2125551212" (without the quotation 
symbols.)  This will allow the contact (John Doe) to see your telephone number 
even when the show caller ID setting is disabled, in the Phone app.

2.
>From the Settings area, select the Phone app.

3.
Set [SHOW MY CALLER ID] to OFF.

4.
Say to Siri, "Call John Doe."  Siri will respond with "Calling John Doe" and 
the phone app will appear.  After a few seconds, however, the phone app 
disappears and no call is placed.

Mark

RE: A Question for Those Experiencing Siri Not Dialing Phone Numbers Beginning with Symbols

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

This problem was the main reason I got a new phone. Sometimes I try to call a 
number in my contacts, and the bug happens. It doesn’t happen every time. When 
it does, I turn my phone off and back on again, and things work. For me, this 
was happening before 15.4.1.

There’s something else my phone is doing. If I make a call and go to speaker, 
the volume is lower than what I had it at. If I increase the volume, it gets 
louder. I usually have the phone at its maximum volume for speaker, so that 
shouldn’t happen. Again, this was before 15.4.1.

I thought my new phone had corruption from when I got things from my old phone. 
Evidently that’s not what’s happening.

Whatever’s going on also is affecting my Apple Watch from time to time.

That’s what I know.

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

Hey Mark,

This isn’t just a problem with special characters. Siri calling many phone 
numbers for me just hangs and doesn’t connect. I think there is a wider issue 
at play here than just special characters.

How going from an iPhone X to my new 13 Pro Max went

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Yesterday wasn't a good day for me, mainly due to my new phone not having the 
sim card preinstalled, and I thought I wouldn't have phone service for longer 
than I did. If that hadn't happened, it would have been a great day. I got my 
new iPhone 13 Pro Max up and running, and there was minimal problems with it. 
The one thing that didn't work as advertised was to transfer everything from my 
old phone to the new one. It should have worked without a hitch. All I had to 
do was enter the code from my new phone onto the old one. Problem was there was 
no keypad to do it, and my Bluetooth keyboard didn't work to do it, so that was 
out. Thankfully, the iCloud restore worked, so all's good. The only problem 
I've had with my new phone was it thought that Bluetooth devices were paired, 
so no on screen keyboard. I got that fixed by pairing my Bluetooth keyboard 
with it and turning it off.

There was one very pleasant surprise that happened, and that was getting my 
Apple Watch working with the new phone. During the iCloud restore, I was asked 
if I wanted my watch paired with my new phone. I said I wanted it to happen, 
and it did. I didn't have to pair the watch, it just happened, and it works 
great.

Just sharing some good things that happened to me.

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

My new iPhone 13 Pro Max worked too well.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

As you may remember, yesterday I received my new iPhone 13 Pro Max. I was 
originally going to wait for someone to help me get it going, but I decided to 
give it a try myself. I did learn that Voiceover was working after I increased 
the volume, so off I went. The first thing that was important to me was to get 
everything from my old phone onto the new one. I thought there'd be no problem 
with this. All I'd do was enter the code from my new phone onto the old one, 
and off I'd go. Problem was there was nowhere to enter the code. I then thought 
a Bluetooth keyboard was the problem, so I turned it on and tried. Still no 
luck. I then gave up on that and went on. Thankfully, I was able to do an 
iCloud restore, and it's as if my new phone is like my old one, including the 
Tarzan ring tone that I installed.

There was something odd that I noticed about my new phone. Whenever I unlock 
it, there's a code that I enter. That's not the odd part. What is odd is when I 
touch the screen, the new phone makes the sound that a Bluetooth keyboard is 
going into edit mode, and whenever I enter a number, it makes that click sound. 
I checked Bluetooth settings, and the only thing that was there was my Apple 
Watch, which was ported over from my old phone with no help from me.

Now for the real fun. I was informed there was an update for my watch. I went 
onto the phone and accepted the terms for it. Then I got a screen on my phone 
where I couldn't do anything. There was no option to install the update. It was 
the same way on the watch. I had the watch on its charger, so no problem there. 
I then closed the watch app on the phone and restarted it. This time I got an 
install option, so I hit it. Then I got the option to enter the passcode for my 
phone. Problem was there was no way to enter it. There was no keypad to use. I 
knew what the problem was. The phone thought a Bluetooth keyboard was on. I got 
out of the watch app, paired my keyboard with the phone, and started the watch 
app. There was still no way to enter any passcode, but once I turned power off 
of the keyboard, the onscreen keypad appeared, and I was able to update the 
watch.

My point is that I think Apple does things too well. If it were going to still 
think Bluetooth devices were working, at least port them over.

Other than the above, all works great with my new phone and watch.

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

I almost was without phone service due to incorrect information from my mobile phone provider

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Last week I ordered an iPhone 13 Pro Max from Spectrum, my phone provider. When 
I ordered the phone, I specifically asked if a sim card was installed in the 
phone. I was told it was. Today, the phone was supposed to arrive. I once again 
called Spectrum to confirm the sim card would be in the phone. I was told it 
would be. At about 1:30, the phone arrived. I was going to wait for help to get 
it running, but I decided to get it working myself. I received an email from 
Spectrum that gave the link to get the new phone working. I went there. There 
was a link to deactivate my old iPhone X, and activate my new phone. I did 
that. Then the fun of getting the new phone working began. That wasn't too bad. 
I did learn my X was deactivated, so I figured the 13 was ready to receive 
calls. I was getting it set up, and decided to check the status line to make 
sure I had cell service. I didn't. I waited over an hour, and still no cell. It 
was then I suspected the sim card wasn't in the phone. There's one thing I 
learned. With no cell signal due to no sim card, nothing that uses cell service 
works. This includes Wi-Fi calling. I couldn't even send texts. I tried to call 
Spectrum for information on this, but that didn't work. Right now, it's very 
important for me to have contact with people, due to just having triple bypass 
surgery, so no phone wasn't good. In the end, I took everything that came with 
my new phone to a neighbor, and she got the sim card installed. The phone works 
great, and the iCloud backup of my old phone went over to the new one with no 
problems.

There's my story. I think there might have been a misunderstanding on my part. 
I think the people I talked to meant the sim card would come with the phone. I 
thought it would be preinstalled in it, and it wasn't. I did speak to someone 
at Spectrum, and I'm getting a discount on my next bill for my inconvenience.

Just mentioning the fun I had today.

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

Getting my iCloud backup onto a new phone

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Tomorrow, I'm getting an iPhone 13 Max to replace my X. I have my current phone 
backed up in iCloud. I'd like this to be on my new phone. What do I do to get 
this working?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Looking for information about an Apple Watch 4th Gen and how to use what's on it.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi all.

I received an Apple Watch 4th Gen as a gift to help me keep track of my pulse.  
I've discovered some of how to use this watch, but I'm still unsure of a lot of 
the Watch OS. I'm understanding, for example, the watch has a touch screen like 
an iPhone, and I interact with it the same way I do my phone. The crown is more 
of a mystery to me, and I'd like to learn more of it. In short, where can I 
read about everything Apple Watch and Watch OS, and learn as much as I can 
about it.

A final question I have is is there a way to get the audible tone when Siri is 
activated? Right now all I get is the vibrations. I'd like to know if there's a 
way to get a vocal announcement of the hourly time on my watch? It does produce 
a chime, but I'd like it to tell me what time it is.

Finally, I'd like to get a better grasp of watch faces. The one I have shows 
the time and date, UV index which is blank, weather, which is also blank, and 
activity which shows me how I'm doing compared to my movement goal, what 
percentage I'm exercising, and what percentage I'm standing? What do other 
watch faces do?

Thanks in advance for any help.

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

The no swish sound when sending texts with Siri has been going on since this

My iPhone X with iOS 15.1 acts like a Bluetooth keyboard is paired to it when there isn't one.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I used a Bluetooth keyboard to unlock my iPhone X. I switched the keyboard back 
to my computer, but now my phone is acting strange. Whenever I unlock it and 
get to where I enter my pass code, I hear the tone that indicates the phone is 
in edit mode, ready for a Bluetooth keyboard to enter the numbers. Also, when I 
use my finger to enter the numbers on the screen, when I lift my finger, I hear 
a click noise, as if a Bluetooth keyboard were being used. I haven't noticed 
anything such as on screen keyboards missing, but I rarely use those to enter 
texts.

Is there anything I need to be aware of, or is all good.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

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

I have to agree with Sieghard that Face ID is much easier and faster than Touch 
ID ever was. I would not wait to upgrade to an iPhone containing Touch ID if 
your current iPhone isn't meeting your needs.

Then definitely expect 2 years rather than 1 because all rumors indicate it's 
unlikely the 14 phones will get Touch Id.
Have you actually really tried Face Id? I mean really had a chance to use an 
iPhone 11, 12 or 13 and set it up and use it?
You might be surprised how fast and good it is, in my opinion much more 
reliable than Touch Id.

I've only had my iPhone 8 for just over 2 years.  So my phone still has a lot

Let me tell you all, that new battery sure does make a difference in available

RE: Phone Messages Help Please.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I’ve always had the behavior of voicemails going to the earpiece, even when I 
move my iPhone away from my ear. When I get a phone call, I can move my iPhone 
to and away from my ear, and it switches.

This has how it’s been for the 12 years I’ve had an iPhone.

If things have changed in this area, I’d like to know about it.

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

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Voiceover > Audio
Then swipe until you hear "Auto Select Speaker in Call" and make sure this is 
On, if it says "Off" then it would be normal that the audio doesn't switch 
automatically when you take the phone away from your ear.
If it is off just double tap and it will change to On, then close settings and 
you should be fine.

Hi Everyone,
For quite some time now, when I listen to a phone message, I have to hold the 
phone to my ear to hear the message, and if I pull my phone away from my ear 
while listening to a message, I can’t hear the message.  I want to use the 
speaker to listen to the message.  Can someone please tell me what I can do to 
use the speaker instead of holding the phone to my ear? I’m using my XR with 
14.8.  Please don’t tell me I need to update my phone, as I already know this, 
but I don’t have enough of space on my phone for the iOS 15.

Thank you all in advance.

Janet

RE: What is the pairing key on the K780?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi Ann.

If I remember, I think it's FN+F1. Hold those for a second or two, and I think 
you'll be in pairing mode. You have up to three devices that can be paired to 
it.

Let me know if that works.

RE: voice clock question

[Kevin Minor]

Hi Paula.

First, if you’re using Voiceover Clock, and I mention this, because it’s called 
Voice Clock on the home screen, flick up and down on the option you found until 
you get it to 15 minutes.

Second, if you have it set for every fifteen minutes, it stops after 64 times, 
or 16 hours. It doesn’t restart. If you don’t want it to do that, it has to be 
set for every 30 minutes at a minimum.

I’m using Voiceover Clock, and it works well for me. It may not announce the 
time as often as I like, but I can live with half an hour announcements.

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

I think I have solved the mystery of Voiceover Clock stopping after some time

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I like Voiceover Clock, but it had this annoying problem. It would tell me the 
time every 15 minutes, the way I wanted, then it would stop. I thought that it 
was stopping at my designated time, then not starting. My thinking changed on 
that last night. I started the clock much later than I did the other days, and 
it kept going through the night, which is what I wanted. I then thought it 
needed to be unlocked by paying for it, so I looked at the information on it. 
Turns out that if you have the clock to go off at less than 30 minute 
intervals, after 64 of those, it will stop. It even announces this fact. If 
it's set for 30 minutes or more, it won't do that. Oh well, I kind of like 
hearing the time every 15 minutes, but 30 will work fine for me.

Just letting folks know.

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

Kevin, Valerie and Jilly

Any ideas?

In iOS 15, there is another layer to successfully get sound notifications.

Open Settings, Mail.
Double tap on Notifications.
Now, swipe right with one finger until you get to Customize Notifications.
Double tap on that.

Looks like some talking clocks no longer work in iOS 15

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I read in another message that someone no longer got the time automatically 
spoken with a talking clock in iOS 15. I'm also having this happen with 
Speaking Clock. Not sure what's up.

Just letting people know.

Is there a way to get recent calls on an iPhone in a more permanent way?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

A few days ago, I received some calls. They're from different numbers, but they 
all concern the same thing. I'm starting to put pieces together, and I'm 
beginning to think I might want a permanent record of these numbers and the 
time and date stamp on them. Is there a way to do this from recent calls? I'd 
like to do this sooner than later, because they'll eventually drop out of there.

Just wondering.

In the past several updates to iOS, key clicks don't work until after connecting either a braille display or keyboard with Bluetooth.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

This is one that doesn't make sense to me. After my iPhone X updates to a new 
iOS, I lose the click sound when I enter something with the on screen keyboard. 
I particularly notice this when unlocking my phone. I checked Settings, and 
it's on. When I connect either my Focus or a keyboard with Bluetooth, the sound 
is there, and it stays after I disconnect what I was using.

Any ideas?

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

RE: Amazon Alexa goes to earpiece

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

With Hands Free off, Voiceover goes to the earpiece. With it on, it works, but 
if it says the wake word, it sometimes will put it into listen mode.

Just my experience.

Kevin,

With hands free turned off, does Voiceover work correctly for you when you 
launch the Alexa app? Amazon has had definite issues with their apps not 
working as expected for Voiceover users. With the recent update to the Amazon 
Music app, I had to go into settings and turn off microphone access for that 
app to get Voiceover working correctly. Apparently, VoiceOver users need to be 
prepared for an ongoing trial and error process where certain Amazon apps are 
concerned.

Brian,

Below is a post I made to the idevi...@groups.io<mailto:idevi...@groups.io> 
list on 8/10/21 providing a workaround correction to this issue:

Abbie,

The reduced Voiceover volume in the Alexa app started a few upgrades ago. To 
get Voiceover back, press the Home button on your SE 2020 to jump to your home 
screen and then return to the Alexa app using the App Switcher. Voiceover 
should be working correctly when you return. Then, do the following:

1.  In the bottom right corner of the screen, execute the More button which 
is button 5 of 5 on the bottomline tool bar.
2.  Swipe right on the screen that opens to Settings and double tap.
3.  Swipe right on the screen that opens to Alexa app settings and double 
tap.
4.  Swipe to Enable Alexa hands free and make sure it is turned on.

After doing this, the next time you open the Alexa app, Voiceover should again 
be working at the correct volume level. At least it did for me after I did this.

RE: A chip question

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I have a pair of gaming headphones that I connect to my iPhone with a lightning 
adaptor. I lost that adaptor, and decided to order one that had a 3.5 mm jack 
on it, and a lightning jack to hook a cord so I could charge it and use the 
headphones at the same time. I connected the gaming headphones to the 3.5 mm 
jack to see how well it would work. I activated Siri on my phone, and spoke 
into my gaming mic. To my surprise, Siri came out of the speakers on my phone. 
I then tried to make a call on my iPhone, and instead of it coming through my 
headphones, it was routed to the ear speaker, which meant I couldn’t hear it. I 
can’t remember the brand of adaptor I got, but at least this one didn’t route 
phone audio through it, and the gaming mic didn’t work at all. I called up 
Apple and ordered that little lightning plug that I had, and all works as 
expected. I do have an adaptor with two female lightning plugs on it, so I can 
use my headphones and charge my phone at the same time.

Just giving a heads up.

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

Is there a way to receive emergency alerts without the obnoxious sound on my iPhone?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

One thing that I like about iOS is the ability to receive emergency alerts. For 
me, however, there's a problem. When one of the alerts arrives, it's 
accompanied by a very loud tone, and that really startles me. It's so bad for 
me that I had to turn these off to avoid being scared out of my wits. Is there 
a way to get these without that tone?

Any help would really be appreciated.

Strange problem with the sound indicating an on screen key was hit, only happens after a Bluetooth connection

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I've noticed that after some iOS updates, when I enter my code to unlock my 
iPhone X, there is no audible feedback to let me know I entered a number. 
However, if I connect a device over Bluetooth, and then turn that device off, 
the sound is back. It continues to work until the next iOS update.

Anyone else notice this?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Kevin and Jilly

RE: Moving photos off IPhone

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I had a bunch of photos on my iPhone. I connected it to my Windows PC. I went 
into Windows Explorer. My phone was something I could select. I found a folder 
on it with all my photos. I got them that way.

Wonder if an Android phone works the same way?

Just saying.

Maybe screen recognition is off & needs to be turned on before it shows up in

To get screen recognition in the rotor, go to settings, accessibility,

tap to add to the rotor. Here is a FYI when using screen recognition- If you 
are in an app with screen recognition turned on, the app becomes unusable or

turn screen recognition off: 1. Open the app switcher. 2. Swipe to the app that

Run the Amazon app and launch Task Switcher.  Place Focus on the Amazon app.  
If enabled turn the Rotor to Screen Recognition and if enabled flick up to turn

RE: Corrupted Amazon app

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Have your friend check if anything is coming out of the earpiece of the phone 
when the app is opened. This is a problem that others, including me, are having.

If this is what's going on, open the app switcher and select the Amazon app 
from there. This gets it working for me.

Hope this helps.

RE: Amazon Alexa App Problem

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

Count me as one of those that the app being discussed is routing Voiceover to 
the ear speaker on my iPhone X. I really appreciate learning about this bug. I 
would have thought my phone was broken. For me, activating the app switcher and 
double tapping on the app gets things working as normal.

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

Kevin and Jilly

RE: Amazon Alexa App Problem

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

The Amazon Music app switched Voiceover to the ear speaker on my iPhone. Made 
it difficult to get going. As the message I'm replying to says, might be what's 
going on.

Robert; I don’t believe voiceover disappeared it probably went to your 
earpiece. I had that happens sometimes with Verizon wireless and I’ve had it 
happen also with the Alexa app. What I do is back out of the app and then go 
back into it again and voiceover reappears.I hope this helps
