Re: A problem Pairing Braille Sense Plus with iPhone 5.
Hi David. Actually, the Braille Sense will connect in iOS 5.0, but not 5.1. Also, even in 5.1, it will still connect, but you will not be able to use any of the input keys for commands. It will only function as displaying the first 32 cells of whatever VoiceOver is reading. Unless the firmware version 7.0 has made it so that you cannot connect to 5.1 at all? I was running the prior firmware version when I ran in to snags with 5.1. Thank you for the word of warning about the Spring Board, it's good to know.

Apple does not officially support the procedure, and blocked it when VO is not running. I suspect it working when VO is running was an oversight that is low on Apple's list of things to correct considering how few people use VO. Unfortunately, the proper reboot/warm reset of holding the power and home buttons for 10 seconds has a small chance of causing VO to reset in to the off position and reset three press home to no action. This necessitates using either iTunes, or a sighted person, to start VO again. In my testing, I found this deactivation of VO to occur around 10% of the time, and is only the case in iOS 6. It works perfectly in iOS 5. As for Braille Sense, Braille Sense will not connect in iOS 5, no matter what you try.

Re: A problem Pairing Braille Sense Plus with iPhone 5.
If you are running iOS 6, there is a small chance that performing an official Apple reboot, holding in the home and power buttons for ten seconds, will cause Voice-Over to turn off. If this happens, you will need to either have a sighted person activate Voice-Over for you, or activate Voice-Over using iTunes. Pressing the power button rapidly six times when VO is running causes the springboard (the user interface) to suffer a fatal crash which forces the iPhone to turn off and back on. This only works when VO is turned on, and is the only reboot method that caused some minor data corruption on my iPhone about a year and a half ago. Since this crash is not officially endorsed or recommended by Apple, be aware you are taking a slight risk if you use it. As to your problem getting a Braille Sense connected, you must be running iOS 6. If you are running iOS 5, the Braille Sense will not connect no matter what you try.

Funny you should say that crashing the springboard by pressing the power button six times in rapid succession will not cause any loss of data considering that it is the only method which has ever caused loss of data on my iPhone.

Also, try doing a Springboard reset on the phone, by pressing the power/lock button 6 times quickly. This will not cause you to lose any data. Also, with regard to the Braille Sense plus, is your friend using the latest firmware (v. 7.0?) If not, that could also be the issue, as earlier firmware versions had problems.

Reset all settings and erase all content and settings. Reset all settings just resets some or all of the settings the user may have customized. Erase all content and settings, however, effectively restores the iPhone back to factory settings, as if powered on for the first time.

A problem Pairing Braille Sense Plus with iPhone 5.
Dear list members, One of my friends has recently bought an iPhone 5 and he is a new iPhone user. Things are working well for him so far except pairing the phone with Braille Sense Plus.
