#45 SMS sending
Submitted by Caleb Eee on
Hello all,I have been trying to send sms using mBraille and sometimes my message was not sent and it just got lost. Have anyone face this? This happen quite often though I can't reproduce this reliably in terms of regularity. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.
#46 SMS sending
Submitted by sockhopsinger on
Unfortunately, this is not just an issue with MBraille. This also happens with other apps like Fleksy where you use a different keyboard program. Sometimes, and the reason to my knowledge is still unknown, the apps just seem to lose sync with the OS. When this happens, the only way to get SMS sending back is to restart your phone. It can be a pain, but if you wish to use MBraille or other keyboard apps, you will either need to copy your text to the clipboard, go into messages, and send it that way using the paste function, or restart your phone to get the program back in sync with the OS.
#47 I have had this issue too.
Submitted by Tree on
I have had this problem as well and am not sure what the issue is. I thought it might have something to do with the fact that after i type s m s and the name of my contact and the send screen comes up there is often a few second lag. In that lag I will touch the screen a few times and those touches take a minute and then all register at the same time. I was thinking that maybe one of those touches is typing a random letter in the contact field and that is making it not send right. I'm not even sure if that makes since though, and it sounds like sockhopsinger has a much better understanding of what is going on.
#48 This issue
Submitted by sockhopsinger on
This issue has been a problem since the release of iOS7. I don't know why they can't fix it. Again, it's not just MBraille that has this problem.
#49 I'm having a similar issue
Submitted by Samantha Wyatt on
I'm having a similar issue, but I don't have trouble sending the messages. The app will give me an alert saying that the message has been sent, but the person I send it to doesn't receive it. I also went to the messages app, and my message I typed in MBraille shows up there, and says delivered, even when the recipient hasn't gotten anything. I hope they can resolve this issue soon.
#50 UK Braille
Submitted by Bingo Little on
Hi folks, when referring to English contracted Braille, does this app support the differences between US Braille and UK Braille? For example, in UK Braille the pound sign is dots 1, 2, 3 together; in US Braille it's something else I believe. IN UK Braille, the decimal point, plus, minus and suchlike are also different. I would be reluctant to get it were I forced to write in the US Braille coce, not so much because I couldn't but because I believe I should be able to write in the Braille code I use all the time. IOS for the most part implements UK Braille pretty well incidentally.
