4 finger single tap bug?
On my iPad mini, I notice sometimes that the 4 finger single tap towards the bottom of the screen (which should take you to the last element on the page) does sometimes work, but almost just as often it has some unpredictable result, such as performing a tap action for example. Any of you able to repliccate this as a bug? Thanks Victor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

Folders and VoiceOver... is this a bug?
I'm wondering if this is a bug and if it's been reportedd or if others are having this issue forgive me if this has been mentioned already. Folders now have 9 apps per page and multiplle pages, I understand this. But when I open a folder, say with 15 apps, what VO reads for me is the first line of 3 apps, plus the 4th app which is on the 2nd page (not visible or available if I were to explore by touching the screen) and then it moves on to the 2nd line of 3 apps, plus the first app of line 2 on page 2, and then the same for line 3, so a total of 12 items are read. This shouldn't b happening, it should just read the 9 visible apps in my opinion., otherwise it makes it difficuult to find an app if you're not sure on which page it will be displayed. Are others having this issue? I'm on an iPad mini if that makes a difference. Thanks Victor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

App Store Issue
Hi, I notice after upgrading to IOS 7 that one of my most used apps, Filer (the paid version) is missing. Anyone else have this happen? Now when I go to the app store to try to re-install it, I can find it but there's no link to open, install or re-purchase. Any ideas why this would be?

dice world
Hi all, been away from the list for quite a while, good to be back. Loving Dice World. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but in the ad supported version if you find a long string of numbers and letters once you have finished your turn, usually it is one of the last items on the page, double tap and that will dismiss the ad, you can then click the Back button or Play Next Game. Other times the ad has a Dismiss button, that is easy to manage, and if your game totally freezes up due to the ad being displayed, you can also force quit the app in the App Switcher (double tap the Home key, then double tap and hold Dice World until you hear "editing apps", then double tap it again, then hit Dismiss App Switcher, then restart Dice World again). I am simply Victor on Dice World and will play anyone at Yatzi and Pig, I don't mind playing a few games of Farkle but it's not my favorite but will still accept requests.

Are you satisfied with your iPad mini?
Hi Eric, I have the mini, which replaces my ipod touch 4g. I have the cellular version and have to say that I am extremely happy with it. Battery life is great, at least two days of hard use, and with the help of Fleksy typing is a breeze. Being able to have the extra screen real estate and run ipad specific apps was the deciding factor for me in deciding to buy the mini rather than the ipod 5g. I don't have an iPhone as I use voip apps for my calling and only therefore only need data, so I replaced the mifi mobile hotspot I was using with my ipod with a data plan and at the end of the day I get way more data for the same amount of money. I an finding it to be a real joy to use. Hope that helps. Victor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

Is there a limit to how many apps you can have on an IPod touch 4
Hi Jen, It sounds like you may have purchased apps that are iphone specific and that can't run on an iPod Touch. I ran into this problem a while back when I purchased some apps that were iPad specific through itunes and then tried to sync them to my iPod Touch, so this may be a similar situation. You should check the app's compatibility with iPod Touch to see if that's the case, if it is incompatible then you are out of luck and you can use it only on the devices where it is compatible, even if it is in your iTunes library. By the way, I used my app refund allottment when I had this situation because I wasn't aware of this (i.e. contacted Apple support to get a refund).

iPad mini and HQ voices
Hi, I love my new iPad mini but am curious to know something... On my previous i Device (iPod 4G) I was able to use other HQ voices besides the US HQ voice. I could do this by setting my region to Australia, for example, to get the Australian Karen in HQ (it would automatically download in about 10 minutes when plugged in). On the new iPad mini this does not work. Changing my region still keeps the US HQ voice. I can obviously set any voice in my language rotor but even with the region set to Australia, it keeps the US HQ voice and uses a compact version of Australian Karen as the default. Does anyone else have the iPad mini and can you confirm this? What about other devices (i.e. iPhone 5) running iOS 6.0.1? My iPod touch 4G seems to still allow this even with 6.0.1 installed but I also have not changed my region for fear of losing the Australian HQ voice and not getting it back.

Using the Australian voice as default
Hi all, I am using an ipod 4g so Siri differences in the region settings are not important to me. In fact, having my settings in metric is what I prefer anyway. I hope this is something that can be fixed in a future update, allowing more choice of voices and even hopefully more than one choice per region.

Using the Australian voice as default
I am in Canada and use the Australian voice as the default. I find this voice to be far superior in quality to the standard voice and is so much easier to listen to. For this to work properly you need to change your regional setting. Go to settings, general, international, region format and set to Australia. The voice automatically changes to Australian English as default when this is selected. In about ten minutes the HQ voice will appear and you can then decide to use it or the compact voice by turning this on in VoiceOver settings. Hope this helps.

Restrictions and Apps
Hi all, I have discovered that the Require Password setting in the Restrictions panel of general settings affects whether a password is required not just for paid apps, but for free apps and updates as well. If you set this to Immediately, a password is required for all app store transactions, be they free or even for updates. On the other hand, the default 15 minutes setting will not require a password for non paid downloads. Hope this is interesting to some of you.

Wifi with IOS 6
Hi, Since upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPod Touch 4G, I am getting a periodic screen where it is connecting to Apple for wifi hotspot authentication and returning a Success page. From what I've read, this was the source of the outage the other day for wifi. This seems to happen every few minutes, I'm jjust using my own wifi, and when it does this I am interrupted in what I am doing and have to wait for the success message, and hit Done. Very annoying. Is there any way to suppress these screens and have this done in the background? Also, I find it intrusive that Apple is potentially logging where I connect from. Should it not be up to a public wifi's administrator to set up restrictions or connection requirements, not Apple? Hoping this resolves itself soon...

AirMeter
Hi all, I apologize for recommending AirMeter the other day. I do use it and it is completely accessible, but upon researching how to pull it up in the app store, it appears the app has been pulled and is no longer available for purchase. It was not free to begin with., and it appears there are other apps for the same price with similar functionality that have been recommended by other users.

App suggestion needed for wifi usage
Hi there, I use an app called AirMeter. I find it is very accessible and accurate. It allows for tracking of inbound and outgoing data over both wifi or 3G, has an app badge to see usage quickly, estimates battery remaining, etc. As I use a mifi device with my ipod touch, with a data cap, it is very helpful in estimating my approximate data usage for the month.

7" iPad to be launch this fall
Hi, There is a definite market for a 7" device, in my opinion. In my case, I have very limited vision & use VoiceOver for the most part, but still can try to make out a picture if needed, so this doesn't lend itself to working well on my iPod or iPhone. I also find I don't use the phone features of my iPhone much, and also never got the iPad due to its size and considering it not to be as portable. So this is the ideal solution for me, I'll be one of the first in line to check it out when it arrives as it meets my visual needs, size needs, and for the limited amount I need to talk to someone I can use an Internet based phone service. Has anyone confirmed that it will be available in 3G/4G, however? I have not heard anything on this, that would be a dealbreaker if it was wifi only.
