Hello Everyone,
Please ignore my previous question.
Just updated Apple Watch 4 to the latest version of Watch OS and all is working
as it should.
My, but this new watch is much faster than my beloved Apple Watch 2. (smile).

Hello All,
Well, I began setting up my new Apple Watch 4, this Evening.
Is it just me or does the digital crown hap tic feedback not work all the
time.
I use the Modular face and with the digital crown navigation on, I do not
experience any hap tic feedback when turning the crown.
Ok, things worked out well when I went back to UEB. Numbers and letters entered
in correctly.
Thanks for the ideas.

what braille format are you using, computer braille, ueb or the one we were
using before ueb? I found that when using ueb, I had to use the number sign

that helps. It threw me for a curve the first time I tried.

Considering that I have had the Legend for years, I would assume that an
updated model would have improvements. One thing i know is that the Legend has
a magnetic connector for charging, and the 5200 has the traditional micro USB

Because the carrier we use here in Canada, Koodo, had a killer deal on the 8.
We only had to pay $150 Canadian up front and now for 2 years $15 is added to

Hi Anna,
That is interesting, I have a few shortcuts as well, my problem is that when I
want to use them half the time I forgot what I recorded as a phrase to trigger
them!
I'll have to do some testing and see if they don't work on my new iPhone 8
which still has the Beta profile on it.
I think that the best way to train Siri is just continue to use her/it/him,
speak a little slower than normal and keep the same level or tone of voice,
when repeating something not clearly understood. I think the more you make use
of Siri, the better results you'll get.
