I agree with you, I like the female voice better. It sounds like freedom, dating back to when I got my first iPhone 3GS. But I will keep the Alex voice, so that if I'm listening to a book that's narrated by a man, I can use his boys for more realism. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or

Both Money Reader and Light Detector work, maybe it's just that they are not allowed to use the Camera and of course they have to use the camera in order to work. Go to Settings, Privacy and Camera, then check if they are allowed to u se the camera. -Original Message- From: viphone@google

What happened to the native weather app?

Hi everyone, On my iPhone six, the weather app no longer works as it did on my iPhone 4s. I used to be able to double tap on the screen when my city was up, and it would give me humidity and wind report. But that no longer works. Does anybody know how to fix this? Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze en

I think it used to be $199, $299, and $399 on contract in the states for the 3 storage options. That $50 a month plan with Sprint looks worth jumping back in and getting the 64 gig iPhone 6. The big question is whether to do easy pay, or to do their rental thing for iPhone for Life. - Orig

It's 8.0.2. I think I'm not going to on the old 4S but if I end up taking Sprint's offer to go for the 6, I will have to use iOS 8, and that upgrade might fix some of the bugs it has. I would guess that when Apple is ready to enable Apple Pay some time in October, other bug fixes might come for

Money Reader is fine for me, but Light Detector is not. Thanks for the suggestion, but it was already allowed to use the camera. And, when I turned off allowing Light Detector to use the camera and then opened that app again, it just closed, even when I tried with a restart of the phone. ---

I think this might just be another bug in iOS 8. I read that this one also affects sighted users and it seems that some apps just randomly can't access the camera even though they are allowed to. The good news is that if this is not isolated to Voiceover then a fix will probably be more likely to c

Yes, you can delete individual notifications this way, e.g. if you have mail notifications set to show the 5 most recent messages then you can swipe down and double tap to delete each one, but you have to do it 5 times to clear the entire section. If you want to clear the section all at once you
