I’ve got both myPhonak and myRoger phone apps on my Android cellphone. It can’t be rocket science, but I’m utterly confused as to how to use these apps in coordination with each other.
First off, myRoger app has NO way to adjust volume on my On iN V2 mic. DOH! I have to get out of my chair, cross the room, and manually turn the +/- up or down on the base unit to change the volume.
myPhonak app lets me adjust the volume or even mute my aids and ONLY be in “connect” mode via my older TV Connector for excellent sound streaming TV at night. But it doesn’t seem to do SQUAT for getting the Roger On iN V2 connected when the mic is in the cradle. No idea why! It’s as if the dang mic only works when I take it out of the cradle and place it near the TV speaker. It can’t be that option only, so I must be doing something wrong.
I’m pretty sure that to stream from the TV, I plug the Roger base unit into a power outlet and also into my TV’s audio source. The mic ON/OFF button is switched to OFF. The only time that button should be ON is if I take the mic out of its cradle and use it remotely. Correct?
I can just see WhiteHat telling me exactly what to do here, LOL!
Can anyone tell me why I should have both these apps on my phone anyway? I’d pick the myPhonak app over myRoger, but don’t want to miss out on any features since I have the On iN V2 mic. (In fact, I have TWO of these mics, but I’ve only paired ONE mic to ONE pair of hearing aids and the OTHER mic to my BACKUP aids.)
I’m ready to just remove the myRoger app from my phone - it seems absolutely worthless and useless to me. It has just TWO actions: under the settings gear wheel, there is “Roger On settings” - that just displays which one of my two Roger mics is active. The other action is the mic icon named “Roger On”. When I click that, it just takes me to the pre-sets screen with “Auto”, “Table”, “Pointing” and “Presenter”. That’s all!
Where I’m confused is that myPhonak app has not only the 4 programs set up by my audi, but one is called “RogerDirect + mic”. Doesn’t that effectively render myRoger USELESS?
