RE: The future of my iPhone 4

2013-08-08 Thread Paul Weston
Hi Chris,

I did something similar recently with my iPhone 4 on O2.

I get 300 o2 to o2 minutes
300 minutes to other mobiles and landlines
Unlimited texts
250mb of data 

All this for just £11 a month on sim only.


Although the data allowance is low I spend most of my time on wifi nets and
use hardly any data whilst out and about.

Subject: The future of my iPhone 4

Good evening all.
I've had a discussion over the landline regarding the future of my iPhone 4.
I of course do not have to take her advice but this is the plan at my end.
Since my iPhone 4 is in a condition of, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", I
am considering to downgrade from an iPhone contract to a sim only contract.
I don't know if you have these where you are but it's basically a mixture
between pay and go in the form of you only get a sim as part of the
contract, no legal documentation or anything, and pay monthly where you get
a certain amount of cross network minutes and texts a month. I believe with
my current provider O2, I can get unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 1
gb of data for just £20 a month. I only have to be on these sim only
contracts a minimum of 30 days, after that I can cancel at any time.
Just thought I would let you know.
Regards Chris.

Hi Paul and others.

I've try Paul suggestion, but it doens't work. For som reason, newsfeed
become a heading rather than anything else on the home screen. And, if i go
to main menu; newsfeed setting, it only give me the two option, reason
stories or top stories.

Any idea how to get around this?

I tried voicebook, but doesn't really like it.

RE: A Facebook question

2013-08-07 Thread Paul Weston
Hi Kirsten,

Long time no speak, hope you are doing ok.

I have spent the last couple of months wrestling with exactly the same
Facebook problem as you and think I have finally got my head around it.

Firstly the way Facebook is sorting your feed when everything seems all over
the place is basically sorting items based on their popularity. So if a post
that has been dead for a few days receives a comment from someone then it
will jump back to the top of the list as Facebook is trying to show you that
something new has happened on this post and you should read it. This drove
me insane as when you are moving down the list with voiceover I could never
establish at what point I didn't need to go any further as I had already
read the stories.

There is indeed a way to sort your feed in different ways but a word of
warning before I tell you how. It does not stick. If you go into
notification's at any point and tap on an item and then hit back to get back
to your feed you may discover that your newsfeed is back in that annoying
sort order. This happens often when you leave the app and load it again or
if you log out of the app and back in. Basically it  requires diligence to
keep the feed sorted in anything other than the newsfeed view.

As for sorting the list otherwise, other posters are correct... at the top
of the feed you will find a control that will allow you to do this. It is
not particularly clear but it will be the control after  check-in. The
control will be named whatever view you are in so most likely this says
newsfeed. After this you may have a list of one or two other sort methods
such as most recent, following etc. If you hear only newsfeed before it goes
onto your feed then double tap on newsfeed and this will expand the list of
sort methods to include one or two more and also a see more item which if
you double tap on will show the whole list of sort options. 

If you don't even get the newsfeed control at the top of your feed then pull
down to refresh and sometimes it appears.

Most recent is a good one to sort your feed with newest stuff at the top and
it does not change if posted are commented on etc. All friends is a good one
if you only want to see posts from your friends not from groups you are in
or pages you like.

To be honest, after figuring all this out I have now been experimenting with
just leaving it in newsfeed order and training myself to understand what
Facebook is trying to do, as I got sick of changing the view all the time. I
wonder if Facebook will allow this to become sticky in a future update but I
doubt it somehow.
I hope this helps.

Specific GPS app advice

2013-07-23 Thread Paul Weston
Hi all,

I know this topic has been covered quite a lot recently but I am keen to get
people's views on my specific requirements. I find myself in a position
where I want to buy a navigation app and thanks to a gift have £25 on my
itunes account. I could add to this a little but would rather not. So my
requirements are as follows.

I am looking for :-
A walking turn by turn spoken navigation app.
Must work well with voiceover (obviously) on an iPhone 4
Must work in UK

I basically want it to get me from A to B walking , nothing fancy, don't
need to know that I am passing the massage parlour or a kebab house just get
me to where I want to go. :)

I have been considering Navigon at the moment but was concerned that some
issues were raised with version 2 regards performance on the iPhone 4 and
didn't know whether these had been resolved in version 2.5.

I am keen to hear views of those that have bought apps that fall into my
specific requirements.

Many thanks 

Paul

It tells you distance and clockface.

 

For example, I recently added the washington monument to my favorites this
way, from my home in South Carolina. It told me 400 and something miles at 2
o'clock.

Then as I was on the train, the distance shrank, and it was at 12 o'clock .

 

When I got to Washington DC, I could navigate to it, keeping it at 12 as
much as I could.

 

A few months ago, I tried my way lite, and couldn't get it to work that
well. When I got to a point, it told me the distance to the next point, but
not the direction.

I use ariadne for this kind of orientation. It also helped me out of a spot.

 

I got on a city bus, but after getting on, the driver changed the route
number and I started going to a different part of town than I was expecting
to go.

Using Ariadne, I knew where my house was, distance and clockface.

So when I got as close as I could (1 mile) I got off and used it to get me
home.

If I had stayed on the bus to the transit station, then took the right bus,
it would have taken me over an hour. 

 

I am anticipating the Breadcrumb app from LookTel. There is no timetable as
to when it will be out, but if they continue to put out such awesome
products, it will be the best app for this type of off-road, or point to
point travel.

does it tell you how far and somehow tell you which way to head?

Thanks for the info, very interesting. I had a quick look at Ariadne but it
appears that you have to actually go to a place to add it as a waypoint
where as I would like to be able to enter a location using latitude and
longitude and then have it give me the straight line distance and direction
to get there.

Paul,

 

Navigon like most mainstream GPS products designed principally for vehicular
usage will not allow you to use them for off road use.

 

niavigon does not have a direction of POI or destination in terms of
cardinal direction, and you cannot set a destination based on long/lat, in
fact, you cannot enter these manually at all.

RE: Taking Navigon offroad?

2013-07-08 Thread Paul Weston
Hi Tom,

 

Thanks for the info, very interesting. I had a quick look at Ariadne but it
appears that you have to actually go to a place to add it as a waypoint
where as I would like to be able to enter a location using latitude and
longitude and then have it give me the straight line distance and direction
to get there.

 

Thanks for your reply though.

 

Paul

I haven't found any way to take Navigon off road. As a matter of fact, I
cannot even set up a route in advance since my home is 550 feet from the
main road and Navigon will only give me the first instruction.

 

Have you tried Ariadne GPS??It's a fantastic program that I use often.  I
use it to mark points of interest around the lake where I vacation so I can
figure out where i am when kayaking. It will give you straight line
distances.

Hi all,

Can any navigon users out there tell me is it only good for street
navigation, or can it be useful when country walking or hiking in terms of
direction finding to waypoints? For example does it provide you of the
straightline direction and distance of a waypoint even when no roads or
paths exist?

My second question is also about navigon... I am assuming that you can enter
your destination as a latitude and longtitude as opposed to a postal code or
street name?

For context, I am looking for ways to improve my enjoyment of geocaching.

Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Geocaching

2013-06-20 Thread Paul Weston
Hi all,

I am new to geocaching and wonder whether others have experiencing of
caching with the iPhone and what there experiences have been. I am using the
geocaching.com app and it seems to work ok apart from a couple of little
bugs and as a blind user I am left wanting more from it at times with
regards to getting a clear indication of cache locations.

Would love to hear anyone's advice on any voiceover friendly tools for
geocaching.

Many thanks in advance

Paul
