Re: Answering a call on a iPhone 5
Hi, I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I'll offer this suggestion anyway. My phone is in an Otterbox Defender case, which makes things a bit easier perhaps. Anyway, when a call comes in, I immediately put my right index finger at or very near the lower righthand corner of the screen, where I'll typically hear VoiceOver say slide to answer. I hold my index finger there and do a split-tap. If you're unfamiliar with the split-tap, you locate the item in question, hold your finger there and tap elsewhere, anywhere on the screen. This works better than 90 percent of the time for me. The double-tap, especially when I'm walking around or doing something else when the call comes in, seems to offer me much better control. Hope this helps.

You can answer either by doing a 2-finger double tap anywhere on the screen when your phone is ringing or you can put your finger on the home key, then slide it up a bit until you find the answer button and double tap with one finger. It's all just practice. Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Answering a call on a iPhone 5
Hi Gina, double tap the screen with two fingers. Double tap the screen with two fingers again to end the call.

Re: Answering a call on a iPhone 5
Hello All, Sorry, a bit behind with my mail. No that's it, Any slightest touch of the screen when the phone is locked ends the call. When it's in my hand-bag or pocket I can't avoid touching the screen. If the phone isn't locked, I can swipe as much as I like between the decline and answer buttons to make my selection. But if it is locked I'm done for. David: Here in the UK, on O2, the power button doesn't do anything. As I accidentally tried that owing to had used an Android previously and didn't realise what I was doing. Habit is useful at times but not at others.

RE: Answering a call on a iPhone 5
Hi Gena, I would suggest you take this phone back to Apple since this sounds like a major defect. For one thing, if the screen is really locked you should be able to touch it all day long without any sort of reaction from the phone, after all, locked is locked and you lock it to prevent it from doing anything. Even if Voiceover is off touching the screen when the phone is locked won't do anything until you press either the home or power button. A single press will bring up the Slide to unlock control and the camera button at the bottom right of the screen, a double press of the home key will also bring up playback controls, Previous, Play/Pause and Next as well as the Airplay button if you are in range of an airplay device and the volume control.

Re: Answering a call on a iPhone 5
Two finger double tap answers and ends phone calls. You can practice the gesture in the practice area - settings, general, accessibility, voice-over, practice area. This is how I always answer my iPhone. Oh, do not press the power button whilstill the iPhone is ringing. Pressing power button automatically sends the call to voice mail.

RE: Answering a call on a iPhone 5
Hi Gena, I would suggest you ask somebody to call you. Use the earpods that came with your iPhone and press the middle button (the slightly resessed area) to answer the call and see if that works. If you can talk to the person and the call does not hang up you at least know your phone works fine. If you have a landline you can call yourself or, if not, maybe you can ask a friend to call you and then practice answering without the earpods. You can answer either by doing a 2-finger double tap anywhere on the screen when your phone is ringing or you can put your finger on the home key, then slide it up a bit until you find the answer button and double tap with one finger.
