A Question About Purchasing Descriptive Video Service Enabled Movies from iTunes

2015-09-11 Thread 'ChalmersAS' via VIPhone
Guys It seems ridiculous that there are described movies in the iTunes store which don’t say they are described. If it doesn’t say that they are, they may as well not bother having them. I am going to write to Apple Accessibility about this. Anyone else feel free to join in. Obviously, it i

No problem. A good external battery is similar to your iPhone's battery and probably has a lifecycle of at least 500 charges. It should last you several years and eventually you probably notice that while you may have been able to charge your phone twice from 20% to 100% you suddenly only get up

Sorry, perhaps I haven't explained myself. I understood the fact that a battery charge would do one or two complete charges of your phone. What I was asking was how many times you can charge the charger itself, thus giving 1-2 further charges of your phone? Sorry if I wasn't clear enough C

Hi Carol, You can charge as long as the battery has power and how much that is depends on the capacity of the battery. A 3,200 MAH battery will charge a 5S probably close to twice from when you first get the low battery warning at 20%, a 6 maybe not quite twice and a 6 Plus most likely just onc

This must be a lock setting, mine locks soon enough no matter what I'm using or how much I want it to keep going. To be sure, some of the apps keep working, but if you need to check something, or even stop it, you have to unlock first. - Original Message - From: "Feliciano Godoy" To

My experience with Blindsquare is that unless someone has been to a position before and marked it as a public POI, it'll not show, so bus stops would be a prime contender for this ommition. There are separate apps for bus stops and stations mind, but it is not something I'd use blindsquare t

So, could you just clarify how these work. Once you've charged up the charger and used it with your phone, how many more times can you repeat this process? Carol P - Original Message - From: "Alan Lemly" To: Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2015 11:31 PM Subject: RE: Please, I would

It seems in the latest iOS 8.x update, you do not need to toggle VoiceOver on or off. However, this seems to be an intermittent and difficult to reproduce problem. On one iPad Mini 2, for example, Alex was activated immediately. On one iPhone 5s, however, he wasn't and VoiceOver had to be toggle
