Nov 25, 2014 10:49 AM in response to SantafeNMby OldGnome,SantafeNM - what troubleshooting steps have you tried to get Shazam to work? (What is "Shazam?")
-
Nov 25, 2014 10:56 AM in response to OldGnomeby SantafeNM,Shazam is a wonderful iOS app that will identify music playing on the radio, TV or your local elevator. Quick and accurate too. I am guessing that there is a Bluetooth conflict.

Nov 25, 2014 11:08 AM in response to LanB22by sandraD1,Very helpful LanB22. I did not realize you could create settings without geo tagging. I will have to figure out how to do that. Thank you.
I did create one for a restaurant and then when I drove past it my aids would switch over. I don't really want that.

Nov 25, 2014 11:12 AM in response to SantafeNMby OldGnome,Oh, right. Since iOS 8, I use Siri for that.
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?
-
Nov 25, 2014 11:18 AM in response to OldGnomeby SantafeNM,Just the usual turning things on and off. Works if the Halos are off. I tried Siri but its less usefu when driving because there is no permanent record. I tried to have Siri add a the name to Notes but without success.

Nov 25, 2014 11:24 AM in response to SantafeNMby OldGnome,Have you tried re-pairing your Halos with your iPhone?
(I would ask you to reconsider such an activity while you are driving.)

Nov 25, 2014 11:32 AM in response to sandraD1by dogsitter,Sandra, when you go to create a memory, a map will pop up. If you tap on the X (close) in the corner, the map will go away, and your memory WON'T be linked to that address. I haven't been using Tru-Link, but since the upgrade to Tru-Link, I'm giving it another try.
In the SoundScape screen, you should consider that to be "fine tuning" for your current setting. Use the iOS controls (the ones you get with a triple-click) to get more range, then you can make fine adjustments with SoundScape.

Nov 25, 2014 11:53 AM in response to OldGnomeby SantafeNM,Yes I did try the paring again. Thanks but it didn't make a difference.

In the Trunlink app there is a Trulink setting. I know that if I select that and I'm in a car it will automatically go to car when I'm going over 10 mph. What else does it do if you don't geotag locations... anything? Right now I mostly leave mine on normal so I may not be getting the most benefit from all the settings. I'm still learning though.

Nov 25, 2014 5:36 PM in response to sandraD1by whatevva,Car mode does a very good job of cutting back frequencies associated with tire and engine noise. It does affect the audio from car stereo, though.
Best thing to do is try it manually while driving or riding in a vehicle....it's a noticeable change

Nov 26, 2014 4:30 AM in response to whatevvaby Parrish Jones,This is a great forum. Thanks for all the input. Here's mine.
I auto download app updates so was not aware until seeing a post on the forum of an update.
I tried figuring the app out on my own and had considerable problems figuring out what to do with it. I went to starkey.com and searched for Trulink instructions. The instructions appeared to be updated but once I arrived at instructions for settings I realized it had not been completely update so I ended up calling. Got dropped three times before actually talking to anyone.
The tech person was helpful.
I find the car setting helpful. I got to try it yesterday as it was pouring rain and I was in my cage instead of on my motorcycle. (Can't use HAs on motorcycle because my helmet drags them off so I have a special sound system that works there.
I used Soundsource to create a few memory settings. One for the church's sanctuary for most everything but the senior pastor who seems to think microphones are made for mumbling. I had to create a separate setting for him.
I affirm the encouragement to talk to your audiologist about anything that is not working well. I did and it improved everything:
1. I found myself having to increase the volume everywhere to hear well but that created the whisper effect on sibilants. He made adjustments and now I can hear far better. Went to theater yesterday and had no problem hearing. Actually listened to TV yesterday and didn't have to turn it up very high.
2. For streaming, I found the volume of the speaker way to quiet. I asked him to give me more volume and turn of mikes when streaming. He did and for the first time in ages, I was able to listen to podcasts and audiobooks on the airplane.
One thing I keep experiencing is my iPad hijacking my HAs. I need to use BT on my iPad for my keyboard but have no need to stream to my hearing aides. I tell it to forget the device, but somehow it gets it back. Even when BT is off it seems to know there are hearing aids and tells me I need to turn on BT. There ought to be a way to tell the ipad to forget them until I ask it to pair with them.

Nov 26, 2014 4:37 AM in response to Parrish Jonesby OldGnome,Parrish - If you have Handoff enabled, I think that might be what the iPad is doing. I don't use the handoff feature and I don't have an iPad, but it might be worth looking into.

Nov 30, 2014 5:35 PM in response to dbmtxby preetpal123,There is lot of problem in connectivity with car system, as soon as I have installed OS8. The contact do not show up. The phone does not connect for few mts. It drops the connection. Please let me know how to resolve this. Apple must test their product before. Please great update for this problem.
-
Nov 30, 2014 5:39 PM in response to preetpal123by dbmtx,Nor much to go on but make sure you have upgraded your phone's iOS to 8.1.1. This should take care of most of the issues if I understand them correctly.

Nov 30, 2014 5:44 PM in response to dbmtxby preetpal123,This does not resolve the problem the connectivity via bluetooth to car
