Hi Annie,
Myself and my husband, Tony, use a Braillant bi 32 - myself with an
IPod
Touch 4 and Tony with an IPhone 4S. We have both experienced this
problem
several times, so it is not very likely to be a fault with your display

Subject: Re: Using a Brailliant BI 40 with an iPhone/iPod.
Hi all.
I also have a brailliant bi 32 cells display. It is a great display,
but I
have 1 problem, that has not been mentioned, so I am a little afraid
that it
is my display.
Sometimes while writing or navigating, the display and my IPhone 5
loses
connection, and it can be a little tricky to get it back again.
Best regards Annie.

Hello,
At least with the Brailliant, for any field which is a list of values
(adjustable) command-3 moves down the list and command-6 moves up
the list.
When not on an adjustable field, command 3 advances the focus to the
next
rotor position and command -6 does the opposite. Command-2-3
selects the
next rotor action and command-5-6 goesbackwardthrough the list.
One other helpful set of command keys is command-1-3 activates
VoiceOver
help and command-1-2 exits help. When VoiceOver help is active,
pressing
any key(s) on the Brailliant describes what that function does. The
spoken
text appears momentarily on the braille display, but it disappears
quickly
so it is difficult to read.
Hope this is helpful.

Some things that you can do to make the process more efficient if you
want to just use braille:
use the spotlight feature (hit cmd-h from the home screen) to
search for
the app that you need.
If you want to search for text within an app, for example safari but
really any hap doubletap the screen three times and you will get the
item
choser with an edit field, if you want to cancel the item choser you
have to
use the command that emulates the home button (cmd-h).
I am still experimenting with selecting/cutting or copying text while
using a braille display which i believe would be a lot more
efficient, at
least for me, then doing it by using the touch screen.
Things that are difficult or that you cant do (to my knowledge) by
just
using the braille display):
If you are using a word processor and you have to leave the app
and then
go back to it then the vo focus within the document will be lost.
This is
not limited to braille display though.
Double tap and hold is one of the gestures already mentioned that you
cannot do, to my knowledge.
Also, if you have a table index and you want to doubletap and hold
and
move up and down i dont know how to do this on a braille display.
Furthermore if you have lists that you need to change by swiping
up and
down (for example to change a value in the standard iphone alarm
clock) i
dont know if you can do this. I have several apps that make use of this
gesture and now have to go to the touchscreen and turn the speech on.
If anyone has any more tips/suggestions to make more effective use of
your iphone and just braille display this would be greatly
appreciated

Jim,
I also have a TBI32 that is paired with a 4S and with an iPad 1st
gen.
You can do most, but not all things with braille, unless I'm missing
something. You can't, for example, do the double tap hold from a
braille
display. If you can, please somebody let me know how. Also, and I
suppose
obviously, if you need to pair or repair the display, you need to
interact
with the touch screen and hear the speech output to accomplish that
task.
And some things, like opening an app whose place you know on the touch
screen are more efficient with touch than with the braille display,
simply
because you can go right to the app and double tap it. No sequential
arrowing to get there. None of these things are specific to the TBI-32,
which is, in my opinion, an excellent display that works quite well
with the
iPhone.
