RE: Home in iOS 10.1.1

2016-11-19 Thread Todd Patkus
To all,

 

Rich, there is no need for you to call me by my name when you know I am already 
aware of.  Just speak to the whole group!

 

Voice memos is nothing to me, so I say what was said.  That does not mean I am 
against it;  it is just that it is simply nothing.  That one I would like to 
kick for good.  No use.  That is all.

 

I never have an answering machine on here.  Most of the calls come from Rich’s 
best number one friends telemarketers.  So I keep them stuck.  I save money.  
Too bad to them!

 

Plus, I really never make phone calls as used to anymore, just few.

 

Todd

Hi Todd,

No you are opinionated.  You are just looking at it from your point of view. 
For example you stated the voice memo app is no good for you That might be true 
in your case but people who can hear might want to use this app and I am 
guessing a lot of them do. So if you do not use the app just delete it. It’s 
that simple. I could be like you and say well since I cannot see very well I 
don’t need the camera app as I do not take pictures.  So Apple can take all the 
camera lenses  and all the  camera parts off the iPhone. So just because you 
don’t use something does not mean others don’t use it. So you need to open your 
head up a little and don’t be so hard headed. But I am sure you will not agree 
with any of this because you are so close minded.  You just look at things that 
make sense to you and the things you don’t understand you close your mind off 
to.

Re: Home in iOS 10.1.1

2016-11-18 Thread John Panarese
   Remember. You are expressing your opinion. It is the opinion of one person. 
It is not universal. What you consider to be important apps or unimportant apps 
is not shared among everyone. I agree with you on things like Stocks and Voice 
Memos, but I know others who would not agree with that. So, as the expression 
goes, Apple can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the 
people all of the time.

   Bugs are going to be in software. It’s a reality of any product based on the 
fact that so many different development teams do so much different work as 
updates are made available. I don’t particularly feel we need yearly updates to 
operating systems, but apparently, the majority of those who buy the products 
do appreciate it. There are certainly outstanding bugs in iOS that have 
lingered for far too long, but name a software product in which  one cannot 
make an equally valid statement. Android, Windows, etc … they all have them.

RE: Home in iOS 10.1.1

2016-11-18 Thread Todd Patkus
Sieghard,

The app store, iTunes store, Phone, Mail, and settings are the ones that I 
consider to remain.  I did not say ALL should be "non-native" but those apps 
that are absolutely useless, such as voice memos, stocks, should never be 
native but non-native.  That is where I stand for.

It is simply that a lot of the apps are simply useless and should never have 
been native in the first place.  They missed the point.  I was one of the ones 
who spoke out loudly at Apple.  They cannot expect everyone to have their 
products.  When they said it, I simply ignored and made a blunt statement to 
them making them realize they are just wasting such efforts making them native. 
 That cannot be so.

Meantime, I see still bugs there.  Apple needs to do more than just release new 
versions of the iOS.  They need to learn to do more thorough diagnoses to 
ensure the apps work correctly before releasing them.  Think about it.

Todd

Hi Todd,

The good news is that as of iOS 10 you can in fact delete native apps such as 
Mail, Voice Memos, Stocks, Calculator and so on. There are still some which are 
essentials to the operation of the phone which can't be deleted and that of 
course makes sense. These are apps like the App Store, Settings and so on.

Hello there, Sieghard,

I have a Braille Sense U2 Mini, so I would have to find the correct commands 
for that.

As for that app Home, it is totally useless to me, and I have no need for it.  
So I would have kicked that goofy (smile) app out for good.

The only thing I abhor about Apple is that they tend to put many apps on all 
products that are often useless and cannot be deleted completely due to them 
being native apps.  That really sucks!  Yes, these folks at Apple Inc. are 
missing something in a large way.

Not just Apple but other companies do the same.  I just do not understand how 
these folks act like this.  they like to show off by saying there are apps you 
need but the opposite is true.

It is just a real goof on them!

Hi Todd,

Apple has come up with a standard for home automation devices. These are things 
like connected thermostats, lights like the Philipps Hue, door locks, automated 
sprinkler control systems, cameras, devices to open and close curtains or 
blinds and so on. If you have any such devices and they support Apple's Home 
Kit standard they will appear in the Home app.

I don't have a braille display, but maybe you know what commands to use if I 
tell you how I delete apps and if you have ever moved apps you are half way 
there. First, if I swipe up or down on any app on any home screen, Voiceover 
says "Arrange Apps". At that point you can swipe up  or down again with one 
finger and this will go back and forth between "Activate Item" or "Move" 
followed by the name of the app.  If you then double tap on "Activate Item" you 
will be asked if you want to delete the app and you can confirm and it will be 
deleted.

RE: Home in iOS 10.1.1

2016-11-17 Thread Todd Patkus
Chris,

You mean that app is more for managing your personal doings?

It is still on my iPhone now.  How do one remove that Home app?  Remember I am 
deafblind so I am a strong Braille user.

Thank you.

Todd

Hi

The "home" app is the hub for managing homekit devices. I simply removed it in 
the very first, and I mean very first, non-public, beta of iOS 10, as I have no 
homekit devices and was simply not interested.
