Good idea, though still dependent on Siri getting a connection and working.

Why not just set up 911 as a contact, and just press and hold the home btn
and say "Call 911"?

Subject: 911 app?

Does anybody know a way to do this or a way to put something like this on
the home screen? What I'm thinking about is this: if I were to wake up in
the middle of the night and had to call 911 say because I was sick, I
probably wouldn't feel much like doing a bunch of tapping to get to phone
and put in the number and hit call. Even if I could speak it, maybe I
wouldn't be understandable to siri or siri might do its little
tick-tick-tick and do nothing or say: "How can I help you?" I'd like
something on my home screen that I could double tap. But I wouldn't want to
double tap it by accident so it would have to require me to do it a second
time to confirm or else it would have to be an app I would open first and
then double tap to make the call. That still would be easier than doing it
from the phone app. Does anybody know a way to do this? And yes, I do know
about landlines vs cell phones for 911 so that's not what i'm asking about.
Also, i don't have health problems that are causing me to want this; I'm
just thinking about possibilities.


Thanks.

Hi Edward,  thanks so much for those instructions. So I should upgrade to vm 5 
from 3. Then install windows 7 from inside of vm and once that is done then I 
can install my windows screenreader from inside vmward. Just trying to make 
sure I have the sequence right. and that I can do all of it without sighted

I also have this Call 911 app from Tobias Werner and have posted about in
the last round of discussion about the topic of emergency calling. I would
agree that it is a good choice although there are a ton of such apps out
there and I'm sure there are others which would work. I do like the fact
that once this app is open you can simply shake the phone to get it to call.
And no, somebody asked me last time, it will not call 911 if you shake the
phone unless the app is open and in the foreground. In other words, if you
open the app and then press the home key and the app is still in the app
switcher it will not call if you shake the phone.

Re: 911 app?

2013-02-27 Thread Sherrie
mind that the shake to call feature only works once the app is open.
Here is one more piece of information:
You could and probably should put this app in your dock or at one of the top
or bottom corners of your Home Screen to find it fast.
However, now that SIRI can open apps, you can also say "Open Call 911" as
the app is called "Call 911" and SIRI will open it. I tried both to say
"Open Call 9 1 1" and "Open Call 911" and it works no matter if you speak 9
1 1 as separate digits or as the number 911.
However, you can't simply say "Call 911" because while you can say "App
Store" to open the app store, if you just say "Call 911" SIRI thinks you
want to actually call, it will say "Calling 911" and then "Sorry, I can't
call 911".
I am not sure why Apple doesn't fix SIRI so you can tell it to simply call
911, maybe in a future update.
But at least if you can't get to your phone quickly or maybe your hands are
covered in blood and you don't want to get it on the touch screen *smile*
you could open the app with SIRI and then simply shake the phone.

If you don't care for the GPS position feature you could of course simply
find one of those apps which allow you to create shortcuts which dial a
particular number and which you can place on your home screen and create
such a shortcut to dial 911. Of course if you accidently activate that
icon/shortcut it will immediately dial 911

OK, lastly here is the link to the app:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/call-911/id367556905?mt=8

RE: 911 app?

2013-02-27 Thread Ron Pelletier
Hi Cheryl,

I use an app called 1touch911 which I have on my home page right on top.  I
would have to double tap that icon, then I am presented with a choice to
double tap 911 or the name of one of two people to contact in case of
emergency.  These people are entered in the settings.  The app also locates
your position.

In case of error, it would simply open the app and you could back out
without dialing 911.

A person who is at risk of, let's say, serious drop in sugar level during
the night could leave the phone and app open, unlock the screen and just
double tap on call 911.

Other than that, there is always the possibility of getting the 1touchcall
which allows you to enter a number in the settings and that number gets
called as soon as you double tap on the icon.  This is even better in case
of emergency for 911 but has the small risk of activating it by mistake.

In either case, the icon is best on the home page.

HTH

Re: 911 app?

2013-02-27 Thread Andy Baracco
Why not just set up 911 as a contact, and just press and hold the home btn 
and say "Call 911"?

Subject: 911 app?

Does anybody know a way to do this or a way to put something like this on 
the home screen? What I'm thinking about is this: if I were to wake up in 
the middle of the night and had to call 911 say because I was sick, I 
probably wouldn't feel much like doing a bunch of tapping to get to phone 
and put in the number and hit call. Even if I could speak it, maybe I 
wouldn't be understandable to siri or siri might do its little 
tick-tick-tick and do nothing or say: "How can I help you?" I'd like 
something on my home screen that I could double tap. But I wouldn't want to 
double tap it by accident so it would have to require me to do it a second 
time to confirm or else it would have to be an app I would open first and 
then double tap to make the call. That still would be easier than doing it 
from the phone app. Does anybody know a way to do this? And yes, I do know 
about landlines vs cell phones for 911 so that's not what i'm asking about. 
Also, i don't have health problems that are causing me to want this; I'm 
just thinking about possibilities.



Thanks.
