2016-11-05 Thread Todd Patkus

Scott Davert,

I would rather not bother any products from Humanware, for the folks at 
Humanware do not do much.  I would not bother them but simply stay out.

A friend of mine has a Brailliant.  The friend makes similar statements about 
the device as you said.

Scott, I do have a Braille Sense Mini U2 which works good with any devices.  I 
am fine with the U2.

You should better off any contact or any product with Humanware.

Thanks,

Todd

Hi.
Yes, I've also noticed that the Brailliant display line has had various issues 
with Bluetooth connectivity over the past few years.
The newer firmware seemed to be a bit better when using the HID mode, but I 
haven't honestly used it enough to really say that it's better over a longer 
period of time. I find the Resreshabraille and the HIMS products seem to hold 
the connection better. The first and second generation of the Refreshabraille 
don't seem to hold the connection over a distance of 3 or 4 meters, but the 
newer generation, along with the Braille Edge and Braille Sense tend to hold 
the connection pretty stable for about 10 meters.

Anouk,

I mean what type of Bluetooth you have.  Is it the Bluetooth keyboard?

I do not use any devices by Humanware.  I have a Braille Sense Mini U2 with an 
iPhone 6S.  I do have a Bluetooth keyboard from Logistics for typing rahter 
than the Perkins keyboard on the U2.

Hi, Scott. WHAT is h i d mode and how do you run it with the Brailliant BI 40? 

Also I am wondering if phone memory makes a difference. I have 16 GB and the 
phone I used the 32 with on Monday night had 128 GB. Your thoughts?

Re: what are your experiences with braille displays and ios/bluetooth?

2016-11-02 Thread Scott Davert

Hi.
Yes, I've also noticed that the Brailliant display line has had
various issues with Bluetooth connectivity over the past few years.
The newer firmware seemed to be a bit better when using the HID mode,
but I haven't honestly used it enough to really say that it's better
over a longer period of time. I find the Resreshabraille and the HIMS
products seem to hold the connection better. The first and second
generation of the Refreshabraille don't seem to hold the connection
over a distance of 3 or 4 meters, but the newer generation, along with
the Braille Edge and Braille Sense tend to hold the connection pretty
stable for about 10 meters.

Anouk,

What Braille display from HumanWare are you using?  What type or kind of 
bluetooth are you using?

I am a strong Braille user.  I have a HIMS Braille Sense U2 Mini with an iPhone 
6s.  they work excellent.

I am sure Rich will tell you something.  Let him tell you about his devices.

Re: what are your experiences with braille displays and ios/bluetooth?

2016-11-01 Thread Keith B.

Hello, Anouk. I too have noticed the sluggish bluetooth connection with the 
Brailliant BI 40, running IOS 10 on an iPhone 6. I called Humanware about 
it, and they told me it's an issue with the operating system, which I doubt.

I got a chance to try a Brailliant BI 32 on an iPhone 7 last night, and 
things seemed much more responsive. I am seriously considering getting an 
iPhone 7 for myself. I'm just wondering which iPhone you are using your 
Brailiant 40 on?

Thanks.
