RE: Phone not responding to two-finger double-tap with incoming call.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I have an iPhone 8, as far as doing a hard reset you press and hold the power 
button for about 10 or 12 seconds after first pressing and releasing volume up 
and volume down.
I would not recommend to hold it too much longer than that and if you wear a 
wired headset you may hear a small click or snick when the phone restarts, it 
is very faint so probably not something you would pick up if you have any sort 
of hearing loss.

Sieghard said in part,

First pressing Volume Up, then Volume down and then pressing and holding the 
power button is forcing a hard reset 


How long do you have to hold down the power button when doing a forced reset?

Is that the last step in doing a forced reset or, do you have to also tap 
something on the screen to finish the forced reset?

Thank you Sieghard,

If all you want to do is to turn your phone off, just press the power button 
and hold it until the "Power off" button appears, Voiceover will announce it, 
then just double tap and that's it.
First pressing Volume Up, then Volume down and then pressing and holding the 
power button is forcing a hard reset, really only necessary if your phone has 
locked up or is not eresponding in any other way.

To power your phone off, press volume up or down button along with the side 
button for a couple of seconds. Then you will want to double tap on power off.

RE: Phone not responding to two-finger double-tap with incoming call.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Anna,

OK, I never paid attention since I only press Volume up and Volume down if I 
want to force a reset.
There maybe fewer controls on that screen, but whenever I press and hold the 
power button, after a few seconds Voiceover says "Power off" and that is the 
button which has focus so all I do is double tap and the phone powers down.

Hi Sieghard,

If you press Volume Up, then Volume Down, and only hold the Power button for a 
couple of seconds, a simple screen with a Power Off button opens. I use this 
method to shut down all the time, and I think the result is exactly like the 
method you describe except the Power Off screen has fewer controls on it. If 
you hold the Power button for 10 seconds or so, a reset happens.

Best,
Anna

Hi all,
Someone I know who is elderly and has 
trouble with gesturing has their screen curtain on.

Is there any way to turn it off without using the 3 finger triple tap?
TIA.

Re: Turning screen curtain off?

[Robin]

Interesting Thread:
I'll StayTuned

To Answer YourQuestion, I  (Think)  ThatPerson 
meant VoiceControl, which was Released in Apple's 
iOS13, But am unsure if the VoiceControl  is 
"available" to All the iOSDevices that is Capable of running Apple's iOS13.

&
I'm interested to "know" if Apple's Siri  can 
Activate or Toggle  VoiceOver's ScreenCurtain ON 
& OFF, Like Samsung's Bixby can Do with 
VoiceAssistant's DarkScreen on Galaxy 
MobilePhones, which operates on Samsung's 1UI & Google'sAndroid

Using the voice control feature is perhaps

Re: Phone not responding to two-finger double-tap with incoming call.

[Anna Dresner]

Hi Sieghard,

If you press Volume Up, then Volume Down, and only hold the Power button for a 
couple of seconds, a simple screen with a Power Off button opens. I use this 
method to shut down all the time, and I think the result is exactly like the 
method you describe except the Power Off screen has fewer controls on it. If 
you hold the Power button for 10 seconds or so, a reset happens.

Best,
Anna

RE: Phone not responding to two-finger double-tap with incoming call.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If all you want to do is to turn your phone off, just press the power button 
and hold it until the "Power off" button appears, Voiceover will announce it, 
then just double tap and that's it.
First pressing Volume Up, then Volume down and then pressing and holding the 
power button is forcing a hard reset, really only necessary if your phone has 
locked up or is not eresponding in any other way.

To power your phone off, press volume up or down button along with the side 
button for a couple of seconds. Then you will want to double tap on power off.

Re: Siri and location

[deidre muccio]

I found it. It was in Accessibility under keyboards and under soft software 
keyboards I had to turn off something that has to do with lowercase letters. 
But thank you so much Richard for trying to find that for me. some days ago the 
first thing I foundwas the setting area that you mentioned in this most recent 
post of yours. And that didn't seem to be the culprit.
All is well now.

 Good morning all, it is sunny and clear here and truly spring like in

 Many updates ago I complain that Siri seem to be getting stupider and 
 stupider. For instance if I have a contact in contacts and I have it noted 
 that their iPhone is an iPhone, when I ask Siri to text message that 
 person it asks me whether I want to text message them using the phone 
 number or an email. Those were questions I was never asked in previous 
 updates and I'm talking quite some time ago at this point. Why would I 
 want to email them rather than use a phone number? Is there some good 
 reason for that? It makes me wanna remove all the emails from some of my 
 most frequently texted contacts.
 
 And here's another odd thing that the new iOS on my new SE is doing. When 
 I asked Siri how cold it is outside she keeps asking me where I am 
 located. This is with location tracking on. This is even with my current 
 city chosen in the Weather app. I went into Maps to see if there was 
 something odd switched off there and didn't notice anything that might 
 help with this. Does anyone have any clue what this might be about? Why 
 Siri cannot locate where I am located? Nearby explorer sure can.

Re: Turning screen curtain off?

[Richard Turner]

If you have Voice Control turned on, Say "voiceOver Screen Curtain" and the 
screen curtain will toggle between on and off.
If its on, it will turn off; if off, then on.

Re: can you put speed dial contacts on an iPhone

[Dave Clement]

Hi, 

You might find using SIRI a quicker way to do this. You could add nick names or 
relationship info in the contact entries for those you want to quickly call. 
Then, just ask SIRI to "call Steve", "call Mom",  or whomever.

Re: Syncing photos from iPhone to PC...

[Holly]

Hi 
Pramit:

Well, I started with your first instruction.  For one thing, when I go into 
‘photos’ in the iCloud app, I don’t see any mention of ‘my photo library’.  I 
do see ‘my photo stream’ and that is turned on.

Also, when I go to sign out, it says to sign out to turn off ‘find my phone’.  
Is this the right way to sign out?

When I open the iCloud app on my PC, I can’t find an option to sign out.  How 
do I sign out of the app on my PC?

Right after I got my desktop back from the computer store, I had to sign in to 
iCloud right away.

Also, when I open the iCloud app on the PC, I can see all the buttons for mail, 
calendar, photos, etc., but when I enter on the photo's button, nothing 
happens.  I am using JAWS 2020 and Windows 10.

What do you think?

Re: Syncing photos from iPhone to PC...

[Holly]

Mike:

Well, your instructions worked, but it is kind of a work around.  It would be 
better if I could get my photos to be automatically sent to my PC from my phone 
without having to plug it in to the computer and go through all those steps.

I have iCloud photos folder on my PC, and it used to be that any picture I took 
would be sent to that folder in just seconds without plugging in the phone to 
the computer.
Pramit gave me some steps to try, so will see if that will work.  If not, I 
will use your directions.

Thanks for your help.

You are OK for a Rams fan.  Hahahaha.

Re: can you put speed dial contacts on an iPhone

[Jennie Facer]

I believe the closest thing to speed dial is favorites. You can organize them 
the way you want, but you cannot actually make it so when you press 2 it calls 
Steve.

To power your phone off, press volume up or down button along with the side

You cannot start Voiceover with SIRI during setup because at that point SIRI is 
not setup and typically your phone does not yet have network or WiFi 
connectivity.
This is exactly why Apple has made it so easy to start Voiceover with a triple 
press of the home button.

However, a warning for any newcommers to the iPhone SE2020.
If you start setup, turn on Voicer, it may not speak at all and you may have to 
get sighted help. Someone from the audiogames.net forum said thy had this

This happened to me again today. I tried powering my phone

I thought to power off I was to press Volume Up and Volume,
then hold in Power key. I went wrong somewhere. 

To be more specific, should I hold Volume Up and Volume Down
a few seconds, and then, how long should I hold Power Button
to turn off? Then, when ready to turn back on, how long
should I turn on the Power Button. I think I asked this

Hi List, I am in the process of searching out some smart spot lights. I am
hoping that someone out there has used some of these with their smart phone
and can recommend a brand and model. One of the ones I've been researching
is the HALO Home spot lights. Has anyone used these and can speak on the
accessibility of the app? Any suggestions would be welcome.

RE: ISO feedback on an accessible iPhone sanitizer device (phone soap)

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

GRRR. I swear. I don’t know why my emails always get cut off.

Anyway, 

To complete the below, it looks like they’re all more or less the same. Put
the phone in the device, and let the UV light do its thing for 5 or so
minutes.

It seems that they’re all light indicator driven. That’s fine and all. The
wife’s sighted and I can always just set a 5 minute timer on the phone
before placing it in the device, but in case there’s something out there
that either has some sort of sound or vibration mechanism to let you know
that the process is done, it would be good to know as well. As a bonus, if
there’s a phone soap thingy that can also do tablets (iPads)…

It looks like PhoneSoap.com   is a pretty
popular site for these things.

Thanks,

 

Hello list,

So, was thinking of getting a phone sanitizer (phone soap) for me and the
wife. 

It looks like they’re all more or less the same as far as concept. Put the
phone in

RE: Siri and location

[Richard Turner]

Does it matter why it works that way now, it does, we just have to get used to 
it.

As for the pitch issue, have you gone to VoiceOver settings, Speech and turned 
off use pitch change?

Yes, I realize that's why it's asking me. But I'm wondering why they introduced 
that and it didn't used to work that way years ago. Yeah I'll try and spell it

again. Try try again until you lose all patients altogether. Most people who 
see me work on my phone say they would never have the patience to do to get to 
the bottom of things like I do. I am sure that  all of us differ in the things 
we are willing to tolerate and how quickly we lose patience.
Another issue that has not yet been resolved is how to get rid of the pitch 
when I first touch  a character. Itpronounces them where it sounds like it's a 
capital letter but when I activate that letter with the double tap, I'm not 
using slide to type, it then sounds normal and doesn't pronounce it with that 
high-pitched capitalization type sound. Trying to figure out how to set the 
toneall globally. All the keyboard sounds. i use the voice over feedback 
religiously,  andit always is a bit disconcerting and throws me off when that 
high pitch sound reads that letter is if it's a capital. Got to get rid of that.

Re: Siri and location

[deidre muccio]

Exactly. It never used to asked me where I wanted to texts or which address to 
use or email or iPhone.   I'm talking about years past. The layering seems to 
get a little more cumbersome as time goes on for some apps such as how we've 
already discussed what's going on in the mail app. These sorts of things drive 
me crazy. I don't like to have to swipe anymore than necessary. Or tap or any 
of that. In the very first computer class I ever took decades ago the teacher 
said they were three components of  working on a computer. There's ardware, 
software, and the jellywhere. He claims that most mistakes come from that third 
category and I'm sure all of you can guess what or who is the jelly were.

RE: Siri and location

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If you have people you frequently text it usually also helps if you add them to 
your Favourites with their mobile number, SIRI usually then does not ask. 
However, I agree that sometimes it is stupid, I have a lot of business contacts 
where I have a office number, fax number, mobile number and email and sometimes 
when I say Call so and so it asks me which number and it actually lists also 
the fax number and this also happens when I say "Text so and so, I think SIRI 
should be smart enough to know that I can't text a home or fax number. OK, so 
theoretically you can I think text to a landline and  most phone companies at 
least here in Canada will try to do speech recognition and convert what you say 
into text and then a TTS voice will read this to the person you texted, but if 
a mobile number is present SIRI should assume that you want to text to that 
number and not to a home, office or fax number.

Good morning all, it is sunny and clear here and truly spring like in western 
Massachusetts. But that's not what the weather report said. Just kidding.
Many updates ago I complain that Siri seem to be getting stupider and stupider. 
For instance if I have a contact in contacts and I have it noted that their 
iPhone is an iPhone, when I ask Siri to text message that person it asks me 
whether I want to text message them using the phone number or an email. Those 
were questions I was never asked in previous updates and I'm talking quite some 
time ago at this point. Why would I want to email them rather than use a phone 
number? Is there some good reason for that? It makes me wanna remove all the 
emails from some of my most frequently texted contacts.

And here's another odd thing that the new iOS on my new SE is doing. When I 
asked Siri how cold it is outside she keeps asking me where I am located. This 
is with location tracking on. This is even with my current city chosen in the 
Weather app. I went into Maps to see if there was something odd switched off 
there and didn't notice anything that might help with this. Does anyone have 
any clue what this might be about? Why Siri cannot locate where I am located? 
Nearby explorer sure can.

RE: Setting up a new iPhone SE 2020 step by step

[Sieghard Weitzel]

You cannot start Voiceover with SIRI during setup because at that point SIRI is 
not setup and typically your phone does not yet have network or WiFi 
connectivity.
This is exactly why Apple has made it so easy to start Voiceover with a triple 
press of the home button.

However, a warning for any newcommers to the iPhone SE2020.
If you start setup, turn on Voicer, it may not speak at all and you may have to 
get sighted help. Someone from the audiogames.net forum said thy had this 
issue, so just thought I'd bring it up, in case they werent on here.

I hadn't thought about cards.  I guess you are concerned that the magnetic

It must have a hole in the case to atatch a lanyard.

 

Many thanks,

RE: iTunes for Windows

Good question.
If you can call them toll free, I'd try it.
I think on the apple Accessibility web page they may give other numbers for 
different countries.
Hopefully, Microsoft does the same.
If you cannot find them, let me know, I can call them easily and ask.

Hi,

Firstly, please accept my apologies if this message is off topic for this list, 
but as it is about an Apple product I thought I might just get away with it.

I am running iTunes version 12.10.6.2 under Windows 10.

For some reason (and this has only happened fairly recently) I can no longer 
access the “for you” section of Apple Music.  When I try I get the message “an 
error has occurred”.  The only option I then have is a “try again” button.  
Pressing that achieves absolutely nothing.  Does anyone know what the problem 
might be please?  I can access every other aspect of the program, my library, 
the store, you name it, I can even browse for Apple Music tracks, I just can’t 
access the “for you” section and yet I can on my iOS devices.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Andrew

Subject: Siri and location

Good morning all, it is sunny and clear here and truly spring like in western 
Massachusetts. But that's not what the weather report said. Just kidding.
Many updates ago I complain that Siri seem to be getting stupider and stupider. 
For instance if I have a contact in contacts and I have it noted that their 
iPhone is an iPhone, when I ask Siri to text message that person it asks me 
whether I want to text message them using the phone number or an email. Those 
were questions I was never asked in previous updates and I'm talking quite some 
time ago at this point. Why would I want to email them rather than use a phone 
number? Is there some good reason for that? It makes me wanna remove all the 
emails from some of my most frequently texted contacts.

And here's another odd thing that the new iOS on my new SE is doing. When I 
asked Siri how cold it is outside she keeps asking me where I am located. This 
is with location tracking on. This is even with my current city chosen in the 
Weather app. I went into Maps to see if there was something odd switched off 
there and didn't notice anything that might help with this. Does anyone have 
any clue what this might be about? Why Siri cannot locate where I am located? 
Nearby explorer sure can.

RE: Turning screen curtain off?

[Richard Turner]

Reggie,
Have you tried putting the onscreen keyboard into caps lock since you set up 
that gesture?
Now in iOS 13, you need a one finger quadruple tap to activate caps lock.
I’m curious if your gesture overrides that one.

You can also set up another gesture that is not being used by one of the iPhone 
gestures to do the  three finger triple tap for the screen curtain. I used one 
finger quadruple tap.

Mitch,
A two or four finger double tap have nothing to do with the screen curtain.
The original question was to help someone who cannot do the three finger 
gesture, so it comes down to Voice Control, which is there to make it possible 
for someone without use of their hands, or at least not effective use of their 
hands to access everything on an iOS device with or without VoiceOver.

Re: Turning screen curtain off?

[regina alvarado]

You can also set up another gesture that is not being used by one of the iPhone 
gestures to do the  three finger triple tap for the screen curtain. I used one 
finger quadruple tap.

Mitch,
A two or four finger double tap have nothing to do with the screen curtain.
The original question was to help someone who cannot do the three finger 
gesture, so it comes down to Voice Control, which is there to make it possible 
for someone without use of their hands, or at least not effective use of their 
hands to access everything on an iOS device with or without VoiceOver.

RE: Siri and location

[Carolyn]

I do not have that weather issue on my fairly new 11. 

But, I do have her ask me all kind of options about a text, if I say, send text 
message to Mary Smith. Another thing that I have a really hard time making Siri 
do is a group text, even when I give the command send group text to Mary Smith, 
Bill Jones, John Dough, and Jane Johnson. She'll say, what do you want to say 
to Mary Smith?

Subject: Siri and location

Good morning all, it is sunny and clear here and truly spring like in western 
Massachusetts. But that's not what the weather report said. Just kidding.
Many updates ago I complain that Siri seem to be getting stupider and stupider. 
For instance if I have a contact in contacts and I have it noted that their 
iPhone is an iPhone, when I ask Siri to text message that person it asks me 
whether I want to text message them using the phone number or an email. Those 
were questions I was never asked in previous updates and I'm talking quite some 
time ago at this point. Why would I want to email them rather than use a phone 
number? Is there some good reason for that? It makes me wanna remove all the 
emails from some of my most frequently texted contacts.

And here's another odd thing that the new iOS on my new SE is doing. When I 
asked Siri how cold it is outside she keeps asking me where I am located. This 
is with location tracking on. This is even with my current city chosen in the 
Weather app. I went into Maps to see if there was something odd switched off 
there and didn't notice anything that might help with this. Does anyone have 
any clue what this might be about? Why Siri cannot locate where I am located? 
Nearby explorer sure can.

Siri and location

[deidre muccio]

Good morning all, it is sunny and clear here and truly spring like in western 
Massachusetts. But that's not what the weather report said. Just kidding.
Many updates ago I complain that Siri seem to be getting stupider and stupider. 
For instance if I have a contact in contacts and I have it noted that their 
iPhone is an iPhone, when I ask Siri to text message that person it asks me 
whether I want to text message them using the phone number or an email. Those 
were questions I was never asked in previous updates and I'm talking quite some 
time ago at this point. Why would I want to email them rather than use a phone 
number? Is there some good reason for that? It makes me wanna remove all the 
emails from some of my most frequently texted contacts.

And here's another odd thing that the new iOS on my new SE is doing. When I 
asked Siri how cold it is outside she keeps asking me where I am located. This 
is with location tracking on. This is even with my current city chosen in the 
Weather app. I went into Maps to see if there was something odd switched off 
there and didn't notice anything that might help with this. Does anyone have 
any clue what this might be about? Why Siri cannot locate where I am located? 
Nearby explorer sure can.

Hi,

Firstly, please accept my apologies if this message is off topic for this list, 
but as it is about an Apple product I thought I might just get away with it.

I am running iTunes version 12.10.6.2 under Windows 10.

For some reason (and this has only happened fairly recently) I can no longer 
access the “for you” section of Apple Music.  When I try I get the message “an 
error has occurred”.  The only option I then have is a “try again” button.  
Pressing that achieves absolutely nothing.  Does anyone know what the problem 
might be please?  I can access every other aspect of the program, my library, 
the store, you name it, I can even browse for Apple Music tracks, I just can’t 
access the “for you” section and yet I can on my iOS devices.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Andrew

RE: Turning screen curtain off?

[Richard Turner]

Mitch,
A two or four finger double tap have nothing to do with the screen curtain.
The original question was to help someone who cannot do the three finger 
gesture, so it comes down to Voice Control, which is there to make it possible 
for someone without use of their hands, or at least not effective use of their 
hands to access everything on an iOS device with or without VoiceOver.

It really isn't a big deal especially with anything like the iPhone 8 
which


Josh has and newer. The iPhone 8 has a rating of IP67 which means you can
actually submerse it under 3 feet of water for 30 minutes and it should 
not


hurt the phone. Of course while Apple tests this, they wouldn't recommend
you routinely do this, but just in case if it did fall into a full bath 
tub


and you took it out nothing bad would happen. The latest iPhones are
actually IP68 which means they can stand submersion under 2 meters (a bit
over 6 and a half feet) for I think 30 minutes or 1 hour.
Some of you may remember the story of my 6S Plus which I got after it was
released in September 2016. Then at Christmas I visited my family in
northern British Columbia, went for a walk when it was -30 degrees out and
promptly lost my phone. Despite hours of search along the approx. three
quarter long driveway (my family has a working ranch in a very remote 
area)


nobody found the phone. About 4 month later in mid April when the snow was
gone my brother had another look and easily found it only feet away from
where they all looked before, it was lying in the mud, by then it had 
gotten


warmer, during the winter it got warmer, it got cold again, it snowed and 
it


rained and all in all you'd think the phone would be dead. I told my 
brother


to stick it in a bag of rice and to mail it to me, by the time he went to
town and I received about a week passed and as soon as I got it I simply
plugged it in. At first nothing at all happened and I got busy at my 
store,


then a couple of hours later I came back in the office and not expecting
anything I pushed the side button, Voiceover came on loud and clear asking
for my PIN, as soon as I put it in the phone went crazy with dozens of
notifications, messages and emails coming in. Since by then I had gotten a
new phone this meant the SIM card was deactivated, yet after all this time
in the harsh elements the phone connected to my store's WiFi and at first 
I


thought all was working, in fact, I could make Facetime calls and all 
seemed


normal. This lasted until I told one of my sighted employees with great
astonishment that my phone had been found and was still working, but then 
he


said that the screen was black. At first I thought screen curtain was on,
but it was not and nothing we did made any difference. In other words, the
phone was working normally except that the screen was obviously not 
working


at all and later when I took it to an Apple store and they ran diagnostics
they also told me the camera seemed to be damaged as well. The long story
ended with me being able to get a replacement iPhone 6S Plus from Apple 
for


a relatively small fee under the Apple Care Plus coverage I had purchased
when I bought the phone, but still I thought it was pretty cool it 
survived


this long period lying out in the open in harsh weather even though it
didn't survive 100%, but all the touch gestures were working, all the 
radios


from WiFi to Bluetooth and so on were working, just the display apparently
was damaged as was the camera. I wouldn't be surprised if all would have

They do have some great protection from water but a soda is slightly different

Subject: RE: just had a very scary iPhone experience

It really isn't a big deal especially with anything like the iPhone 8 which 
Josh has and newer. The iPhone 8 has a rating of IP67 which means you can 
actually submerse it under 3 feet of water for 30 minutes and it should not 
hurt the phone. Of course while Apple tests this, they wouldn't recommend you 
routinely do this, but just in case if it did fall into a full bath tub and you 
took it out nothing bad would happen. The latest iPhones are actually IP68 
which means they can stand submersion under 2 meters (a bit over 6 and a half 
feet) for I think 30 minutes or 1 hour.
Some of you may remember the story of my 6S Plus which I got after it was 
released in September 2016. Then at Christmas I visited my family in northern 
British Columbia, went for a walk when it was -30 degrees out and promptly lost 
my phone. Despite hours of search along the approx. three quarter long driveway 
(my family has a working ranch in a very remote area) nobody found the phone. 
About 4 month later in mid April when the snow was gone my brother had another 
look and easily found it only feet away from where they all looked before, it 
was lying in the mud, by then it had gotten warmer, during the winter it got 
warmer, it got cold again, it snowed and it rained and all in all you'd think 
the phone would be dead. I told my brother to stick it in a bag of rice and to 
mail it to me, by the time he went to town and I received about a week passed 
and as soon as I got it I simply plugged it in. At first nothing at all 
happened and I got busy at my store, then a couple of hours later I came back 
in the office and not expecting anything I pushed the side button, Voiceover 
came on loud and clear asking for my PIN, as soon as I put it in the phone went 
crazy with dozens of notifications, messages and emails coming in. Since by 
then I had gotten a new phone this meant the SIM card was deactivated, yet 
after all this time in the harsh elements the phone connected to my store's 
WiFi and at first I thought all was working, in fact, I could make Facetime 
calls and all seemed normal. This lasted until I told one of my sighted 
employees with great astonishment that my phone had been found and was still 
working, but then he said that the screen was black. At first I thought screen 
curtain was on, but it was not and nothing we did made any difference. In other 
words, the phone was working normally except that the screen was obviously not 
working at all and later when I took it to an Apple store and they ran 
diagnostics they also told me the camera seemed to be damaged as well. The long 
story ended with me being able to get a replacement iPhone 6S Plus from Apple 
for a relatively small fee under the Apple Care Plus coverage I had purchased 
when I bought the phone, but still I thought it was pretty cool it survived 
this long period lying out in the open in harsh weather even though it didn't 
survive 100%, but all the touch gestures were working, all the radios from WiFi 
to Bluetooth and so on were working, just the display apparently was damaged as 
was the camera. I wouldn't be surprised if all would have been fine had this 
been an iPhone 8 or even an XR, XS, 11 or 11 Pro.

Best regards,
Sieghard

you should be good. I know when I knocked my phone off the counter into the 
sink while the water was running I removed it right away and dried the screen 
off. luckily my phone had a screen protector on it. It seems fine after a few 
months since that incident happened. I took of the screen protector and case 
and shook the phone just to make sure all the water had come out. the speaker 
sounded funny for a few hours but they went back to normal.

Yes that is good but wouldn’t a 2 finger dubble tap or 3 or 4 finger one work 
just as well. From Mich.

Is there any way to turn it off without using the 3 finger triple tap?

Re: Turning screen curtain off?

[l . d . ethier23]

Hello,
Don't think... Siri cannot do it. You can practice this gesture on a table. 
Quick triple tape with Three fingers with a little space between each and 
important, use the soft part of the finger,
The secret, taking your time.

Re: Turning screen curtain off?

[Michael Feir]

Hello Adam. I just had a brief poke around for a solution. Unfortunately,
there's no toggle in VoiceOver settings for the screen curtain. Using Siri
isn't an option since it seems to think you want to control curtains
connected via the home kit. The only thought which occurs to me is going
into the VoiceOver commands settings and changing the screen curtain
gesture to some other gesture which isn't already used for something else
and might be easier for her. I cover this sort of thing in the guide I just
released last Monday. You'll find a link to my blog where you can find the
guide. It's also on Applevis. Best of luck to you.

Turning screen curtain off?

[Adam Morris]

Hi all,
Someone I know who is elderly and has trouble with gesturing has their 
screen curtain on.

Is there any way to turn it off without using the 3 finger triple tap?
TIA.

RE: just had a very scary iPhone experience

[Simon A Fogarty]

There was a storey from I believe mac rumours a few months back where someone 
lost an iPhone in to a pool within Disney land,

 After a  number of days, they cleaned the pool out and got the phone which was 
then returned to the owner 
When the owner charged the phone back up it was still working.

 At least that is the gist of the story,
It was after the time period that apple have given and yet the phone was still 
able to be brought back to life

Subject: RE: just had a very scary iPhone experience

It really isn't a big deal especially with anything like the iPhone 8 which 
Josh has and newer. The iPhone 8 has a rating of IP67 which means you can 
actually submerse it under 3 feet of water for 30 minutes and it should not 
hurt the phone. Of course while Apple tests this, they wouldn't recommend you 
routinely do this, but just in case if it did fall into a full bath tub and you 
took it out nothing bad would happen. The latest iPhones are actually IP68 
which means they can stand submersion under 2 meters (a bit over 6 and a half 
feet) for I think 30 minutes or 1 hour.
Some of you may remember the story of my 6S Plus which I got after it was 
released in September 2016. Then at Christmas I visited my family in northern 
British Columbia, went for a walk when it was -30 degrees out and promptly lost 
my phone. Despite hours of search along the approx. three quarter long driveway 
(my family has a working ranch in a very remote area) nobody found the phone. 
About 4 month later in mid April when the snow was gone my brother had another 
look and easily found it only feet away from where they all looked before, it 
was lying in the mud, by then it had gotten warmer, during the winter it got 
warmer, it got cold again, it snowed and it rained and all in all you'd think 
the phone would be dead. I told my brother to stick it in a bag of rice and to 
mail it to me, by the time he went to town and I received about a week passed 
and as soon as I got it I simply plugged it in. At first nothing at all 
happened and I got busy at my store, then a couple of hours later I came back 
in the office and not expecting anything I pushed the side button, Voiceover 
came on loud and clear asking for my PIN, as soon as I put it in the phone went 
crazy with dozens of notifications, messages and emails coming in. Since by 
then I had gotten a new phone this meant the SIM card was deactivated, yet 
after all this time in the harsh elements the phone connected to my store's 
WiFi and at first I thought all was working, in fact, I could make Facetime 
calls and all seemed normal. This lasted until I told one of my sighted 
employees with great astonishment that my phone had been found and was still 
working, but then he said that the screen was black. At first I thought screen 
curtain was on, but it was not and nothing we did made any difference. In other 
words, the phone was working normally except that the screen was obviously not 
working at all and later when I took it to an Apple store and they ran 
diagnostics they also told me the camera seemed to be damaged as well. The long 
story ended with me being able to get a replacement iPhone 6S Plus from Apple 
for a relatively small fee under the Apple Care Plus coverage I had purchased 
when I bought the phone, but still I thought it was pretty cool it survived 
this long period lying out in the open in harsh weather even though it didn't 
survive 100%, but all the touch gestures were working, all the radios from WiFi 
to Bluetooth and so on were working, just the display apparently was damaged as 
was the camera. I wouldn't be surprised if all would have been fine had this 
been an iPhone 8 or even an XR, XS, 11 or 11 Pro.

Best regards,
Sieghard

you should be good. I know when I knocked my phone off the counter into the 
sink while the water was running I removed it right away and dried the screen 
off. luckily my phone had a screen protector on it. It seems fine after a few 
months since that incident happened. I took of the screen protector and case 
and shook the phone just to make sure all the water had come out. the speaker 
sounded funny for a few hours but they went back to normal.

Re: Setting up a new iPhone SE 2020 step by step

[Portia Scott]

Wow, glad your setup went smoothly. Or at least pretty much smoothly,
from your setup steps.
However, a warning for any newcommers to the iPhone SE2020.
If you start setup, turn on Voicer, it may not speak at all and you
may have to get sighted help. Someone from the audiogames.net forum
said thy had this issue, so just thought I'd bring it up, in case they
werent on here.
