Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

Hi there. Maybe I'm using the wrong term, but I thought that swiping and 
flicking were the same thing. So I guess I mean flicking.

 Hi:
 Are you saying swipe but you really mean flick or is there really a swipe 
 gesture and a flick gesture?

 they are now seen as what I mean them to be by the iPad and my issues are 
 gone. What I was doing a lot of the time was making maybe a 1 inch left or 
 right gesture swipe, but apparently in order to make it more reliable it 
 needs to be a bit longer. I suppose, bigger screen, means bigger swipes

 Hi all. I've been playing more and more with the iPad mini this week and
 have come across some strange issues which I'm hoping are not cause for

 just like I do on the iPhone. However I sometimes like to left/right
 swipe and this isn't seeming to be consistent on the iPad. So, I'm
 wondering if this is normal due to the different layouts, or if I might
 have a problem with mine. What happens for example if I'm toward the top
 of the screen and I swipe right over and over I would expect to go
 across the installed app icons to the right until the next line is
 reached, however many times when I swipe, I find that the selection has
 moved elsewhere. Either toward the middle of the screen, or even
 sometimes in the dock. The same is true if I'm inside an app like
 settings. I will select a category, like General on the left, and then
 touch the right side of the screen, then swipe right over and over, yet
 the information isn't read consistently like I think it should when you
 swipe right. I figured that maybe it's me who was messing up the swipe
 and maybe was swiping diagonal since it's a larger screen. However I've
 tested this by swiping left to right across the keyboard dots from the
 speed dots protector I've installed. And if the iPad has been in
 landscape mode, I've swiped left to right across the bottom of the
 screen. I have no problems swiping on the iPhone, and so I don't think
 I'm accidentally touching part of the screen before my swipe. I've been
 careful not to do that when testing this.
 
 Ideas are welcome, and if there is something I don't know about the iPad
 navigation, that too, will be helpful. I don't know if this has to do
 with containers, or some other form of navigation, but so far it's
 proving to be a bit more tedious than with the iPhone.

Yes, I'd agree. When I first got mine this took me a little getting used to

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-24 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi Raul,

I can't confirm this.  Or am I denying this?  lol. I'm confused now.  Well, I'm 
trying to say, I don't find myself needing to make broader gestures on my iPad 
mini for them to register more consistently.  One of the first things I did was 
set the switch on the side of the mini to toggle orientation lock instead of 
muteing the device.  I couldn't stand it when orientation would just flip on 
me. haha.

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-24 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi there. I don't get it either but that has been my experience. As an example 
on my iPhone I will usually swipe left or right about one third or less on the 
screen when it is in portrait mode. I was doing the same kinds of swipes on the 
iPad and those were not working. So I increased the length of the swipe maybe 
by two and now they're working much better.

Hi,

For me at least, swipe and flick is interchangeable.  Its like TV and 
television.  Phone and telephone.

 they are now seen as what I mean them to be by the iPad and my issues are 
 gone. What I was doing a lot of the time was making maybe a 1 inch left or 
 right gesture swipe, but apparently in order to make it more reliable it

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-23 Thread Rick Alfaro

Raul,

The only time I've had a similar issue on my Mini is when it has not 
detected the change from landscape to portrait mode or visa versa.  If 
the iPad is flat on a table or on your lap for example and you have it 
in landscape mode then you turn it to portrait mode, the switch isn't 
detected.  I sometime have to give the Mini a tilt forward for the 
switch in orientation to be detected.




Best,

Rick alfaro

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-22 Thread David Chittenden
Hi Raul,

I would suggest having a sighted person observe when you are flicking. Make 
sure the screen curtain is off. With the larger real-estate of the iPad, the 
chances for user variation increase exponentially. A few various experiments 
performed over the years consistently demonstrate that, though blind people 
believe they are moving straight, they are veering in a certain direction. When 
sighted people have their vision blocked, they do the same thing. The majority 
of research around this can be found in OM spatial awareness and blind people, 
and some information can be found be found when searching for information 
around blind people drawing straight lines on paper.

If your iPad is not making errors whilst you are touching various places on the 
display, I would tend to suspect user spatial awareness error.

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-22 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi David, well said. I'm not discounting that possibility as I stated in 
my original message. I will have someone look just to be sure, but the 
fact that in some tests I made sure to swipe across the bottom edge, 
meaning a way to keep it straight in case, and yet strange things still 
happened, leave me to believe that my spacial awareness is enough for 
the iPad. However I'm not perfect either and even following the edge, or 
a line of tactile dots might not be enough. Who knows.

the dock. The same is true if I'm inside an app like settings. I will select a 
category, like General on the left, and then touch the right sid

e of the screen, then swipe right over and over, yet the information isn't read 
consistently like I think it should when you swipe right. I figured that maybe 
it's me who was messing up the swipe and maybe was swiping diagonal since it's 
a larger screen. However I've tested this by swiping left to right across the 
keyboard dots from the speed dots protector I've installed. And if the iPad has 
been in landscape mode, I've swiped left to right across the bottom of the 
screen. I have no problems swiping on the iPhone, and so I don't think I'm 
accidentally touching part of the screen before my swipe. I've been careful not 
to do that when testing this.


Ideas are welcome, and if there is something I don't know about the iPad 
navigation, that too, will be helpful. I don't know if this has to do with 
containers, or some other form of navigation, but so far it's proving to be a 
bit more tedious than with the iPhone.

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-22 Thread RobH!
Well, I have it as an issue, as there is so much space, so allignment goes 
astray; and maybe it is more sensitive to precision of direction.  Anyway, I 
have a solid case that frames the working part of the screen, so use the 
lower edge as a guide,  or one of the lines of dots on that SpeedDots cover 
you have, would help.
I get it right most the time, but a guide line helps.

Subject: weird iPad swipe gesture issue


Hi all. I've been playing more and more with the iPad mini this week and
have come across some strange issues which I'm hoping are not cause for
worry. This has to do with swiping. Many times if I want to see what is
all on the screen I will just touch the various parts of the screen,
just like I do on the iPhone. However I sometimes like to left/right
swipe and this isn't seeming to be consistent on the iPad. So, I'm
wondering if this is normal due to the different layouts, or if I might
have a problem with mine. What happens for example if I'm toward the top
of the screen and I swipe right over and over I would expect to go
across the installed app icons to the right until the next line is
reached, however many times when I swipe, I find that the selection has
moved elsewhere. Either toward the middle of the screen, or even
sometimes in the dock. The same is true if I'm inside an app like
settings. I will select a category, like General on the left, and then
touch the right side of the screen, then swipe right over and over, yet
the information isn't read consistently like I think it should when you
swipe right. I figured that maybe it's me who was messing up the swipe
and maybe was swiping diagonal since it's a larger screen. However I've
tested this by swiping left to right across the keyboard dots from the
speed dots protector I've installed. And if the iPad has been in
landscape mode, I've swiped left to right across the bottom of the
screen. I have no problems swiping on the iPhone, and so I don't think
I'm accidentally touching part of the screen before my swipe. I've been
careful not to do that when testing this.

Ideas are welcome, and if there is something I don't know about the iPad
navigation, that too, will be helpful. I don't know if this has to do
with containers, or some other form of navigation, but so far it's
proving to be a bit more tedious than with the iPhone.
