Hi. Even with the new patch, I am still hearing that pairing was unsuccessful
from the phone even though it pairs successfully.
Also, it seems to me that if I turned my VU off and back on again that it would
pair when my phone was activated. I know wake up doesn't work, but at least it
would pair. Now, every time I turn the unit on, I have to go into the braille
settings and pair the unit every time. Note, I'm not talking about putting the
VU into suspend mode, but actually turning the unit completely off.
I'm pretty sure it used to pair automatically once the phone was activated
before this patch.
Thanks.

Hi
Absolutely the patch is certainly necessary for some but not for all.
iOS11 on it's own is not the fail condition. In my client's case, connection
was successful without the patch using iOS11.2.2 on iPhone 8.

Amy,
We did use the patch Germany identified for my wife and she has expressed
real pleasure in the connecting of her unit using that patch. She is not the
most frequent user among us but she has had the patch installed for a couple
weeks, I think and she remains satisfied that it connects as she needs when
she needs.

Hi David and, all
I have seen this happen occasionally to, but according to Baum Germany
staff they identify this as a consistent problem which is why the patch was
created. Thanks.

Hi
I'm aware some of you have experienced difficulties connecting VU to
iOS11. I'm sharing the following as it may not be necessary to install
the patch in all cases. Thus potentially saving you the time and
effort of downloading and installing the update. This may not work for
everyone. I hope it is useful for someone.
This afternoon I successfully connected a VarioUltra 40 software
version
1.42 to a client's iPhone 8 running iOS11.2.2. Crucially the iPhone
had not been previously connected to any braille display, including
VarioUltra. Plus the VU40 in question did not have the November 24
patch installed. The VU was simply running the original 1.42 release
from September 19.
With VarioUltra discoverable in Settings> Bluetooth,I initiated the
pairing from iPhone> Settings> General> Accessibility> VoiceOver>
Braille. Everything worked as per the instructions in the VarioUltra
user guide. Except, iPhone popped up the dialogue incorrectly
reporting an unsuccessful connection. However, in Display mode on
VarioUltra, we could read VoiceOver output. So simply dismiss the
dialog and carry on as normal.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
