VoiceOver and passcode for iPhone
Not sure if anybody else is experiencing this issue, but once in the pass code for the iPhone and having the passcode turned on, VoiceOver will immediately take focus to the emergency call button instead of allowing the user to enter their pass code. I have read and other groups related to accessibility that this is an issue with iOS 5 as well as voiceover I'm hoping that the accessibility team Apple will have this fixed when iOS six comes out. --
Wireless connection issues.
I have the Iphone 4 and 4s, in addition I have a home wireless network that is unsecure. My router is a Lynksis wrt54G2 after updating the Iphone 4 to IOS 5 i noticed that the wireless connection would just drop with out sudden warning, I had never had that happen before. I have been back and forth with Apple and ATT who both say its not the device, the iphone 4 is two years old and I recently upgraded to the 4s I noticed the same issue the iphone 4s could not keep an active connection the router... Now, I do have a few computers / laptop connected just fine to the router. Could it be that since the firmware is not up to date on the router that could be the issue, or could it be the router itself as maybe some security settings are not the "newest" or settings need to changed to work better with Iphone's? I really need help as I use my Iphone constantly and would like to be able to run off wifi. --
Re: Wireless connection issues.
I wanted to know the following related to my issue: 1. How do you change the "channel" for the Lynksis router? 2. What channel should it be changed to? What affect will this have on any computer's connected to this router? 3. I think we forgot the password that we might have used before how do we reset the router back to defualt password? 4. Is there a specific webpage we need to go to for the Lynksis router to acomplish all this? Seeing as I am not very technical savy but can learn with percise instructions (very detailed) I would like to fix this issue Thanks Marissa On Sunday, August 19, 2012 9:23:27 PM UTC-7, Mari wrote: > I have the Iphone 4 and 4s, in addition I have a home wireless network > that is unsecure.

Re: Siri freezing when using voiceover
In order to re-spring the device does it need to be jailbroken? will apple come up with a better fix?

RE: Wireless connection issues.
So i should make these changes from my desktop as its wired to the router? --
Re: VoiceOver and passcode for iPhone
Will this bug be fixed in ios 6 --
Re: Wireless connection issues.
I will try changing the channels, i have upgraded the firware. Now if i am sitting two rooms away from the router i stay connected for the most part, however if i go the kitchen my wifi drops, other pc's we have connect just fine. Could it also be That Apple has implemented it security feature to wear when the phone is locked the Wi-Fi drops? Also, we have a TV in the room next the router and also a cordless phone plus the two desktop PCs on the same room could that be affecting the connectivity of the router. --
RE: Wireless connection issues.
How exactly do I secure the Wi-Fi connection I saw something about wireless security and then the different choices and I read something about WPA2 but then asked for some kind of security key? I'm surprised to see how many people are having similar issues I thought I was the only one I do appreciate everybody's help and I hope that things resolved soon I may just think about replacing the router does that sound that something that should be done? I will take the suggestion from somebody who replied and I will stick with one of the many wireless channels for a few weeks and see if that helps --
