Re: strange behavior on home screen

2014-11-21 Thread Teresa Cochran
There's a current problem with iOS that makes external keyboard behavior unpredictable. However, you can try keyboard shortcuts to show or hide the onscreen keyboard. In Braille, it's dots 1-4-6-space to toggle this option. The external keyboard key varies with the manufacturer. My Anker

I'm fairly sure that the battery not running down is a feature, not a bug. I've always heard that Li/ion batteries function best when there is not a full charge or discharge. Mileage varies, of course. I don't mind having a bit of juice left. I don't want to lose data. Carol, I do like that

I haven't tried Tidal. Spotify seems to be a good deal more accessible than Rhapsody, and has more of a selection of music. The only really tricky thing about Rhapsody is that you have to do a three-finger swipe to the previous page when you open the main menu. You can't do the common Voiceover

Have you tried sharing your friend's status? Otherwise, in order to select and copy, it's easiest to do the Voiceover copy gesture, which is a three-finger-quadruple-tap once you've focused on the status. You may have to delete a word or two that Voiceover puts in, like selected, etc. Or you

Some of the rotor controls activate automatically, such as the actions control when you're in a message list. Languages and auido ducking are manual controls, so you can reorder them to the bottom of the rotor list in settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, Rotor. You just double-tap and

Hi, all, For a few days now, I have had no arrow key function on my keyboard. I can't turn QuickNav on and off, for example. Sometimes I can get it to toggle if I do a VO-space a few times in a text field. This happens when the keyboard is fully charged, too. I tried resetting all settings

You can still tell Siri to turn Voiceover on. Just hold down the home button till it chimes, then give the command. The accessibility shortcut for turning Voiceover on and off with the home button is to press it three times very quickly. You will probably have to set this up for the first time.
