Re: favorite ways to use Siri?
I use Siri mainly to find my way around. If I say "Speak walking directions to High Street" it gives me a pretty good commentary on how to get to High Street, but I use Maps at the same time to give me more detail. Maps tells me how close I am to the next turn, and uses street names, while Siri tends to deal in road numbers, which isn't always helpful. Combined, though, the two things are pretty effective. And if I want to know where I am at the moment, I will say to Siri, "Speak where I am", which sounds pretty strange, but it works. If I just say where am I? Siri puts up a map and says "There you are", which is no use to me whatever. If you have Maps on, swipe through the screen until you find current location, and it will give you the street or road name. Nothing's perfect, and if I tell Siri I want to get to Hotel Street, it starts reeling off the names of hotels. And if I dare to know better than Siri how to tackle part of the route, it tells me in no uncertain terms to get back on the route. Never mind if there's an 8-lane road that stops me going straight to the next bit of Siri's itinerary¬! Vince.

RE: photos on iphone.
Hi, Christopher, You don't say what version of Windows you have, but I can say that this isn't usually a big problem in Windows 8.1, at least in my setup. I plug my phone into a USB port, then press Windows key plus E to start file explorer, and there are all my libraries of stuff such as documents and pictures, plus all the drives further down the screen. One of the drives is called Vince's iPhone. If I press Enter on that, it shows a folder on the iphone called DCIM, I press Enter on that and get a folder with a number, and when I press Enter on that, I can get at the contents, photos or whatever. I usually select them all with Control plus A, then copy with Control plus C, Cut with Control plus X, navigate to a folder on the PC where I want to transfer the material, and press Control V to paste everything. Pretty much the same as moving files around the PC,, in fact. Hope that's some help. Vince.

Hi, Having seen this app mentioned here, I decided, it being free!!! to download it and take it for a spin on my 6 running 8.3. Once I enabled the camera and turned on the flash, I took a shot of a dog magazine and then did the same with the KNFB Reader app. I have to tell you that, on this one example, this free and tiny app, did as well as the very expensive KNFB reader. I am, by the way, not knocking the latter app, merely wanting to encourage people to give it a try, especially if the KNFB is too pricy for you. The are a few things that could be improved with the interface. If it were possible to simplify and automate rthat than having to press extra buttons, such as the "done" button, I would say we have an outstanding winner! Always with the proviso that I have only tried it using one example. I liked the way that the app told me that all 4 edges were visible without me needing to use a "field of view report" button. Plus, I did try opting for the "automatic" option in settings, but couldn't see how to use it. The 6 page intro seems a bit lacking and I don't understand why, and on this other apps are equally guilty, there seems to be a need for multipage introductions, generally saying nothing of use and yet requiring the use of the page switching button, a thing that often does not work properly. I shall play with this more, but would like to know, as it is so small, do I have to have internet connectivity? Plus, the choice of using VOs built in voices would be nice as I, for example, can understand Danniel much easier than any other voice. So, as a first impression I would suggest to anyone to give it a try, costs nothing and has been designed for the love of doing it and helping. Sandy.

While it can never take the place of my beloved iPhone 6 Plus, it is a very, very well-made and classy device. One thing I absolutely adore about all of the Galaxy products, especially on the new S 6, is the number of native RingTones, sounds, and notifications included with the devices. A quick Google search will turn up many sites where the stock RingTones for many popular Android Smartphones have been ripped and placed in a Zip file, ready to be used by anyone. The primary reason why these RingTones are made readily available is so that those who wish to create what are known as custom ROMS can more closely mirror the native manufacturers OS with regard to basic functionality. Okay, okay; too much information, right? The following is text that I posted to an Android list containing the link to the RingTones, sounds and notifications for the S 6 which, you may use on your iOS device. Mark Download The Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge Stock RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications For a while now I've been using a text message alert on my iPhone 6 Plus that I ripped from a Galaxy Note 2. There are several ringtones and/or notifications on my Galaxy S 6 that I want to use on my 6 Plus, as well. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all the hard work had already been done for me as the S 6 and 6 Edge stock sounds are available on The Android Soul.com website. All they ask is that one gives them credit for the Zip file when sharing the link or when using the sounds in a custom ROM. So, for those of you who want to sprinkle a little Galaxy seasoning into your Apple sauce (or anything else for that matter), I offer the following two links: 1. The direct download link to the Zip file containing all of the stock sounds for Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/downloads/file/S6Rings.zip 2. The URL to the Android Soul.com site which contains the link listed above: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-ringtones-74737/ Please note that all of the files are in their original format said format being .ogg In order to be used in iOS as ringtones or notifications, assuming you do not use iTunes in the conversion process, they will first have to be converted to .m4a and then subsequently renamed to .m4r.

Re: M4r versions of the Android tones, partial job done, was Re: A Very Excellent Source for Free RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications
If you're at all familiar with the command prompt, it's easy enough to change the extensions of all those m4a files at one go. This is an outline of how you can do it. Start menu in Windows, select Run, or press Windows Key plus R. Enter CMD in the run dialog. You will now be placed at the command prompt. You may hear something like Users backslash then your user name. Change to the folder where your m4a files are stored. Example: c:\temp Once you hear the folder name enter this command: ren *.m4a *.m4r That's simply rename all the m4a files to m4r. To get out of the command prompt, enter exit. Vince.

Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to the folder with the M4 a file you want to rename. Make sure it is selected, but do not open it. The easiest way to select it is to down arrow to it or if it is the first file in the folder, down arrow off it and up arrow back to it. Then, press F2 and change the extension from M4A to M4R. Hit enter and you are done.

Yes, that's how it works for me. As I'm walking, I can hear a countdown every so often to the next turn, and the street name of the street I'll be turning into.

Re: Question About GLPS
Quite often, I am told that I'm 2 or 3 doors away from where I actually am. It's not just the iphone that's given me these slightly off results either. I've accepted it as inherent inaccuracy in GPS. Mind you, I have sometimes been indoors when I've got these results, so it may be a bit unfair to judge anything like that. Vince.

So if you're in a vehicle, you can often improve accuracy by putting your device near a window. On the street, there's not much you can do. The weather can affect accuracy, for instance. So maybe you'll get a better signal another day. Best,Anna On Jun 7, 2015, at 2:57 PM, clarence carter wrote: I am having difficulties getting accurate readings from the GPS. For example when I use DARK SKY it gives the location as three doors from where I am. I also notice this with other APs. Is there a way to reinstall the GPS software without destroying other settings? Thanks! -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
