IPhone 4 & iOS 7.0.4: Talk to Type Feature?

I got an iphone 4 from work (long story - suffice it to say that they're not entirely) after having an iPhone 4s.  Question: does the iPhone 4 have the ability to talk to type?  My iphone 4s had a little mic icon on the virtual keyboard, but I don't see one on the iphone 4.  I even have iOS 7.0.4.

You should be able to download the app Dragon Dictation. It requires you to open the app, and it still requires an internet connection. You dictate into the app and you can copy and paste into Messages and email. Nut as clean to use as Siri since it takes an extra step, but it works. That is what I did when I had the iPhone 4.

  • I am having an issue writing texts with Siri on iPhone 5 iOS 6.  When I do it just talking to the phone it works fine. However if I speak through the ear pod headphones or Bluetooth headset it only writes about 5 works before trying to send.

    Does anyone know why this might be?

  • Is there a way to remove the blurred background wallpaper effect when using the phone in iPhone 4S' iOS 7?

    Hello.
    A few nights ago, my picky client finally upgraded his iPhone 4S' iOS 6 to iOS 7. He doesn't like the blurred background wallpaper image when using the phone feature (e.g., calling and talking). Is there a way to disable this new visual effect like in iOS 6?  I am pretty sure this is by design by Apple.
    Thank you in advance.

    I will tell him about that, but I don't think that would be it if that is related to animation.
    We're talking about the wallpaper background that get blurry during the phone screens like http://www.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130923_ios7emergencycallfla w.jpg (left side) and http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/09/20/ChangingYourTheme.png ... You can see there are background images that got blurred out.

  • IPhone 5 iOS 7.1.4 Call failed every time when the other person hung up before me

    iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4 says Call failed every time when the other person hung up before me,
    Is there anything I can do to about that please?

    Hey there Yonidawit,
    It sounds like you are are getting a message saying that the call failed, when the person you are talking to hangs up. I have a few things to recommend here. First close all the open apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone and test it out again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If that does not resolve it, try resetting your network settings:
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    I updated my straight talk iphone to iOS 7.1.1 and now my ipone doesnt work.

    You probably cleared the APN settings when you upgraded. Go to their forum to get the information to put it back on or call them.

    Hi, JoseN33. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try the steps in the first article below and see if that resolves your data issue.  However, with some carriers settings need to be manually entered in order to access their cellular data network.  The second article will walk you through that process.

  • TS1538 hours needed to restore iphone 4, ios 7.1

    Dear Sir. My Iphone 4, ios 7.1 was excellent until I got a message from my Itune 11.1.5 telling me that there were some items missing. Would I like to restore my Iphone? of course the reply was, yes. And I started the process but it took lot of time that made me believe that my Itune was not working so I unplugged the device, it was terrible! Now where I am talking to you the device has been plugged for 5 hours but no signal for the end. That is why I asked you dear fellows, how long should it take me to restore my system? Bearing in mind that I have many apps therein, if I lose them that will be disasterous and I love Apple I do not want to leave it. Thank you.

    cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

  • IPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) Won't Sync Movies

    My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) stopped syncing videos a few days ago, and removed all the videos I did have on it. Everything else is syncing fine. I double checked that my iOS 5.0.1 & iTunes software (10.5.1) are both up to date. The same goes for my MacBook Pro OS X Version 10.7.2.
    iTunes seems normal as if it synced fine, but the "video" app on my iPhone says "No Videos. You can download videos from iTunes." And when I search for specific movies on my phone, none is found. I did a master reboot on my phone, but am hesitant to restore my phone, too, because I always have to re-arrange apps afterwards. Apparetnly, iTunes will remember every setting about my phone except app folders.
    Even though this is an Apple problem, it refuses to help me at all, because my phone is already a few months old. Any help from you would be appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    I have exactly the same issue iTunes 10.5.1 / iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) - impacts Movie and TV Show synch in the same way as described above.

  • IPhone 4S iOS 7 not syncing - stuck on "determining apps to sync"

    Hello all:
    My upgrade to iOS 7 started out smoothly enough, but now I have a problem. When I attempt to sync via USB, I get to step 3, "Determining apps to sync," and the sync doesn't go any further. I've tried it a couple of times now, and my current attempt is at 20+ minutes of just sitting there at the same status. Clicking the x in the status box doesn't cancel the sync. I have to force quit (or disconnect) for it to stop.
    In the process, my contacts and calendars were erased on my phone, but are still in iCloud. I don't think anything else is missing. All of my apps in iTunes are up to date.
    System info:
    iPhone 4s
    iOS 7.0.2
    OSX 10.8.5
    iTunes 11.1.1
    I can't think of anything else to share. Is there any hope of getting out of this loop? Thanks!

    This is very irritating I have a new iMac ($5000) an New ipad ($1000) when I sync the ipad to iTunes I get stuck at "determining apps to sync".  I cant even shut down the iMac.  I thought apple didnt make junk. ***
