Apple Hardware and Compatible Accessories

For the last couple of days, I've noticed a very troubling issue with my phone's battery. I have it plugged in, and its still losing charge. Yesterday, I plugged it in when the battery was around fifty percent. When I used my phone a few hours later, it had dropped to 47 percent, even though it was on the charger. Just a few minutes ago, I went to check the notifications and found that my phone was at 99 percent, also on the charger. Doe anybody know what could be causing this issue, and more importantly, how I can fix it?

I recently purchased bluetooth speakers made by Inateck. While I've been pleased with the sound and performance, I do have one nagging issue. When VoiceOver talks over the speakers, there seems to be a fraction of a second delay in connecting. As a result, the first syllable is often lost. Is this a common problem? I've searched AppleVis but haven't seen this problem mentioned.

I am usingh IOS 9.1 on an IPhone 6S+. I paired my new Keys2Go Bluetooth Keyboard to the phone and was able to use Quick Nav etc. Trouble is that, when I try to type into edit fields, for example, creating text messages, characters typed are often repeated, spaces are missed out and, in general, the message is unintelligibal. Is there any way to sort this, in order that I can use the keyboard to enter text more easily to my IPhone, for texting, Notes, WORD etc? If there is a workaround, could someone on here please give step-by-step instructions?

Hello. I'm having difficulty getting my MacBook Pro 2015 to allow a second headset through an aggregate device. I have set the aggregate device up through Audio/midi setup, and selected the headsets, including checking the drift option.. When I move to the sound preferences, and select the aggregate as the output and input, I get sound from only 1 headset. I am using a Logitech headset and a G-force gaming headset connected to the Mac with a USB hub. I am running the latest version of High Sierra.

Hello everyone, I have just joined this forum as a completely blind user of an apple iPhone 6.

See the following link. Does anyone have one of these? If so, how do you
like it?

Hello all.

Hello, so I am facing a bit of a dilemma. I have an Amazon echo. And while I like it. I am strongly considering purchasing a HomePod. Especially because I am very deep into the Apple ecosystem. The question that I have is, is it worth the $300 that Apple is asking for? I do like how it sounds. Because I saw a demo at my local Apple store. So I definitely would like some opinions from people who have one. Or from people that I’ve ordered the new one but Apple released this week. All comments are welcome.

hi all, Has anyone gotten the jabra 85 t? how are they, when compared to the airpods pro, which i had a lot of issues with, in terms of fit, noise canceling, and transparency? How good is the app? i am torn between the standard airpods 2, and the jabra 85 t. Thank you, Will

Hi All,

hi all, I just bought a jawbone era headset from amazon and got it for forty dollars, and got it yesterday. the problem I now have is 1, when i go to my bluetooth settings and turn on bluetooth, it sees a previous speaker i pared with and yes, I have told my iPhone to forget the previous bluetooth speaker, but it still shows up in my list of devices. 2, my era headset will not show up at all what so ever in the list of devices even though it is turned on. my 5s says things like in progress, and now discoverable but no headset, just the speaker which I have told the iPhone to forget.

Hi all,

I am thinking about getting a Jawbone Icon bluetooth headset, and was wondering whether anybody else had one? If so, how well does it work with VoiceOver? Are there any problems?

Thanks

Ian

posting for responses from other owners of the JBL boombox three speaker. I have used JBL charge speakers in the past and have been able to accessibly read the battery status through the JBL connect app, I believe this has changed in name to JBL portable. When I look at the boombox three speaker, I see an accessible way to change the EQ settings, as well as update the firmware, and device information, but unfortunately am not finding an accessible way to read battery status.

I just bought these speakers, and the sound is great. However, I cannot figure out how to create stereo.

There seems to be two modes: party boost, and independant.

If they are in party boost, then when you go to the app and click "create stereo", the create button is disabled. In this mode both speakers are on, but seems to be mono.

If Apple's claims are true, you should be able to seamlessly switch between your various devices when using one of their W1 headphones (AirPods, BeatsX and Powerbeats3)

So, if you are listening to music on your iPhone, pause playback, and start plain music on your MacBook, the headphones should automatically switch to the Mac. If you then receive a call on your iPhone, the headphones should switch back to that.

This all sounds great.

Hi, has anyone used the boxwave keyboard buddy case? What do you think of them? Does it beap if the battery is about to go dead in the case?

If anyone is using the Keyboard Buddy case for Iphone 6/6S, and you have paired it successfully without sighted help, please tell me what you did to get it to show up in devices. I have had Keyboard Buddy cases for previous Iphone products and been very happy with them, but this one defies all efforts to pair, even with sighted help.
I am a very heavy keyboard user and the onscreen keyboard is not sufficient for my needs except for brief texts. If I opt for another Bluetooth keyboard, it needs to be extremely small/portable.

Hi all
I am looking for a keyboard case for my iPad Pro 9.7, model A1674. There are many available online for ordering, still I am concerned about the overall quality of many brands, as prices largely vary. The weight is not really a concern for me, what matters is the quality and the longevity of the keyboard case.
Thanks all for any help.

Hi! Can someone post some voiceover keyboard commands for the iPad? I am new to a bluetooth keyboard so I don't know all of the commands. Thanks!
