RE: Addition to the saga RE: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

[Carolyn Arnold]

Back about five or so  years ago, when I had the original SE, I had that 
problem, when at our Senior Center, which is down low and in woods. I certainly 
could not call out with Siri, but usually could, when I made my calls myself, 
as the customer service guy at Consummer Cellular, my carrier at the time, 
advised me to do. Therefore, I acquired the good habit of doing that. Still, I 
missed some calls that came while there.

Jim, how is your ring volume? Mine went down to 7% after an update one time.

Well, there is one other thing that I've been told about now.

For some weird reason, sometimes, calls I receive don't register. Several times 
during convention, and again yesterday, people have told me that they tried 
calling me but that it went to voicemail. Most of the time, I don't even hear 
the phone ring, and the actual call doesn't register.

Now yesterday, I did hear someone try calling me but when I tried answering, it 
was as though nobody was calling. Very strange stuff going on. And, it doesn’t 
happen with all calls. I haven’t messed with any settings that I know of, and I 
have been using my phone as I always do. Very strange.

Good morning,

For a few weeks now, I have been dealing with a very annoying issue on my 
phone. When I do something like swipe or other Voiceover gestures with my 
finger, things start out OK, but after a few instances, there is a sort of jump 
or crash that takes me one layer back or to the very top of where I started, 
and I need to start over again. It is annoying when I’m looking at something 
like a website or Social Media and then the jump happens.

Also, when I input text using Braille mode, I won’t get more than two sentences 
into what I’m writing, and then it jumps and changes modes, making me need to 
go back to the rotar and go back to Braille mode. 

I don’t think that speed has much to do with what’s going on, but I’ve tried 
slowing down, which doesn’t always work for me. I just know that something’s 
got to give because this continuous jumping around or going back a page or 
layer doesn’t make me productive at all!

Has this happened to anyone else? What might be happening here, and what can I 
try to fix it? I’ve not seen this behavior until a few weeks ago.

Jim

Jim,
If you haven't had Apple run a detailed diagnostic on your phone, I'd suggest 
calling them.

What your experiencing seems rather unique.

Braille screen input is definitely flaky in this iOS release. I have a similar 
experience to what you describe where suddenly bsi will just turn itself off in 
the middle of brailling. Also it seems I can't use tabletop mode at all. The 
letters just will not form correctly.

If focus modes or "Do not disturb” are enabled then some or all calls can be 
directed to voice mail. You can  usually test this by having the person who is 
going to voice mail try calling you again almost right away and then seeing if 
it rings. 
It is possible to disable this break through on second call attempt but the 
Also, if a phone gets on Mute, we would not hear a ring. default  in most focus 
modes is to allow break throughs.
Sometimes when I have a meeting scheduled on my iPhone calendar, there will be 
a prompt on the lock screen asking if I want to enable do not disturb for the 
meeting. One can also enable/disable focus modes with SIRI.

Re: Addition to the saga RE: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

[Jonathan Cohn]

If focus modes or "Do not disturb” are enabled then some or all calls can be 
directed to voice mail. You can  usually test this by having the person who is 
going to voice mail try calling you again almost right away and then seeing if 
it rings. 
It is possible to disable this break through on second call attempt but the 
default  in most focus modes is to allow break throughs.
Sometimes when I have a meeting scheduled on my iPhone calendar, there will be 
a prompt on the lock screen asking if I want to enable do not disturb for the 
meeting. One can also enable/disable focus modes with SIRI.

Re: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

[Kimberly Gardner]

Braille screen input is definitely flaky in this iOS release. I have a
similar experience to what you describe where suddenly bsi will just
turn itself off in the middle of brailling. Also it seems I can't use
tabletop mode at all. The letters just will not form correctly.

Re: Addition to the saga RE: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

[Kimberly Gardner]

This phone not ringing is happening to me as well ever since the most
recent update to iOS. It doesn't always happen or even with any
predictable pattern. I had the same problem a couple of years ago. I
don't recall which iOS it was, but eventually it just went away.

Addition to the saga RE: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

[Jim Portillo]

Well, there is one other thing that I've been told about now.

For some weird reason, sometimes, calls I receive don't register. Several
times during convention, and again yesterday, people have told me that they
tried calling me but that it went to voicemail. Most of the time, I don't
even hear the phone ring, and the actual call doesn't register.

Now yesterday, I did hear someone try calling me but when I tried answering,
it was as though nobody was calling. Very strange stuff going on. And, it
doesn't happen with all calls. I haven't messed with any settings that I
know of, and I have been using my phone as I always do. Very strange.

Good morning,

For a few weeks now, I have been dealing with a very annoying issue on my
phone. When I do something like swipe or other Voiceover gestures with my
finger, things start out OK, but after a few instances, there is a sort of
jump or crash that takes me one layer back or to the very top of where I
started, and I need to start over again. It is annoying when I'm looking at
something like a website or Social Media and then the jump happens.

Also, when I input text using Braille mode, I won't get more than two
sentences into what I'm writing, and then it jumps and changes modes, making
me need to go back to the rotar and go back to Braille mode. 

I don't think that speed has much to do with what's going on, but I've tried
slowing down, which doesn't always work for me. I just know that something's
got to give because this continuous jumping around or going back a page or
layer doesn't make me productive at all!

Has this happened to anyone else? What might be happening here, and what can
I try to fix it? I've not seen this behavior until a few weeks ago.

Jim

Yeah, this does have a screen protector. I’ve never had issues like these in 
the past. And, I keep my phone in a holster, and when I have it out, I am 
fairly careful. It’s rare that it takes any kind of fall or gets hit by 
anything. That is why I’m surprised at the latest goings on.

A well-applied glass screen protector has no negative effect on touch screen 
sensitivity. You must be more careful than me with your phone, I have a very 
nice leather belt holster which keeps my phone nice and safe when it's in it, 
but I use my phone in all sorts of situations from when I am sitting on the 
couch or at my desk to while I am walking or working in the garden or my 
woodworking shop. Just this morning I went outside to the backyard while I was 
holding my iPhone and I misjudged the distance to the first step down from the 
deck and briefly lost my balance and my iPhone went flying. My deck is about 5 
feet off the ground and I was holding it at railing height which is about 3 and 
a half feet so it had a nice 8 foot or so drop onto concrete. Fortunately it 
was lying on its back, but in a situation like that a good glass scren 
protector can totally make the difference between having a broken screen or 
not. I also have it in a relatively slim, but well made and drop-tested case so 
it did not seem to come to any harm and at least as far as I can tell there 
isn't a scratch on it. Glass screen protectors are quite inexpensive on Amazon 
so I will definitely not go without and if it ends  up not sitting perfectly on 
the screen any more I can simply replace it.

Screen protectors can cause the lack of sensitivity you are describing.

Good morning,

For a few weeks now, I have been dealing with a very annoying issue on my 
phone. When I do something like swipe or other Voiceover gestures with my 
finger, things start out OK, but after a few instances, there is a sort of jump 
or crash that takes me one layer back or to the very top of where I started, 
and I need to start over again. It is annoying when I’m looking at something 
like a website or Social Media and then the jump happens.

A well-applied glass screen protector has no negative effect on touch screen 
sensitivity. You must be more careful than me with your phone, I have a very 
nice leather belt holster which keeps my phone nice and safe when it's in it, 
but I use my phone in all sorts of situations from when I am sitting on the 
couch or at my desk to while I am walking or working in the garden or my 
woodworking shop. Just this morning I went outside to the backyard while I was 
holding my iPhone and I misjudged the distance to the first step down from the 
deck and briefly lost my balance and my iPhone went flying. My deck is about 5 
feet off the ground and I was holding it at railing height which is about 3 and 
a half feet so it had a nice 8 foot or so drop onto concrete. Fortunately it 
was lying on its back, but in a situation like that a good glass scren 
protector can totally make the difference between having a broken screen or 
not. I also have it in a relatively slim, but well made and drop-tested case so 
it did not seem to come to any harm and at least as far as I can tell there 
isn't a scratch on it. Glass screen protectors are quite inexpensive on Amazon 
so I will definitely not go without and if it ends  up not sitting perfectly on 
the screen any more I can simply replace it.

I'm exactly like you, Sieghard, about the glass screen protector. I had an 
Otter Box with my first iPhone and literally despised the plastic screen 
protector. I like a glass one that feels like the screen itself, yet gives 
protection. I cringe every time I drop my phone, but haven't had a drop like 
you had - might give me a heart attack!

Hi there,

It is not part of the case. It is glued to the phone.

Like I’ve said, I’d be surprised if it is the screen protector. I remember 
getting it as soon as I got the phone, and I’ve never had issues with it. I 
keep things clean, and if a cleaning needs to happen, I take care of it right 
away.

dirty hands when I use my phone. I know it happens, so I try and keep it clean. 
I believe I’m using a screen protecter, but I’d have to check. I’ve had this

Two things, Have you cleaned your screen lately and do you use a screen 
protector?

A dirty screen can have all sorts of weird effects and if you have screen 
protector which is maybe not very good any more can also have negative effects.

Subject: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

 

Good morning,

For a few weeks now, I have been dealing with a very annoying issue on my 
phone. When I do something like swipe or other Voiceover gestures with my 
finger, things start out OK, but after a few instances, there is a sort of jump 
or crash that takes me one layer back or to the very top of where I started, 
and I need to start over again. It is annoying when I’m looking at something 
like a website or Social Media and then the jump happens.

Also, when I input text using Braille mode, I won’t get more than two sentences 
into what I’m writing, and then it jumps and changes modes, making me need to 
go back to the rotar and go back to Braille mode. 

I don’t think that speed has much to do with what’s going on, but I’ve tried 
slowing down, which doesn’t always work for me. I just know that something’s 
got to give because this continuous jumping around or going back a page or 
layer doesn’t make me productive at all!

Has this happened to anyone else? What might be happening here, and what can I 
try to fix it? I’ve not seen this behavior until a few weeks ago.

Jim

RE: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

[Jim Portillo]

Yeah, this does have a screen protector. I’ve never had issues like these in 
the past. And, I keep my phone in a holster, and when I have it out, I am 
fairly careful. It’s rare that it takes any kind of fall or gets hit by 
anything. That is why I’m surprised at the latest goings on.

A well-applied glass screen protector has no negative effect on touch screen 
sensitivity. You must be more careful than me with your phone, I have a very 
nice leather belt holster which keeps my phone nice and safe when it's in it, 
but I use my phone in all sorts of situations from when I am sitting on the 
couch or at my desk to while I am walking or working in the garden or my 
woodworking shop. Just this morning I went outside to the backyard while I was 
holding my iPhone and I misjudged the distance to the first step down from the 
deck and briefly lost my balance and my iPhone went flying. My deck is about 5 
feet off the ground and I was holding it at railing height which is about 3 and 
a half feet so it had a nice 8 foot or so drop onto concrete. Fortunately it 
was lying on its back, but in a situation like that a good glass scren 
protector can totally make the difference between having a broken screen or 
not. I also have it in a relatively slim, but well made and drop-tested case so 
it did not seem to come to any harm and at least as far as I can tell there 
isn't a scratch on it. Glass screen protectors are quite inexpensive on Amazon 
so I will definitely not go without and if it ends  up not sitting perfectly on 
the screen any more I can simply replace it.

I have never used a screen protector because I keep my phone in a shoulder bag

Screen protectors can cause the lack of sensitivity you are describing.

RE: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

[Sieghard Weitzel]

A well-applied glass screen protector has no negative effect on touch screen 
sensitivity. You must be more careful than me with your phone, I have a very 
nice leather belt holster which keeps my phone nice and safe when it's in it, 
but I use my phone in all sorts of situations from when I am sitting on the 
couch or at my desk to while I am walking or working in the garden or my 
woodworking shop. Just this morning I went outside to the backyard while I was 
holding my iPhone and I misjudged the distance to the first step down from the 
deck and briefly lost my balance and my iPhone went flying. My deck is about 5 
feet off the ground and I was holding it at railing height which is about 3 and 
a half feet so it had a nice 8 foot or so drop onto concrete. Fortunately it 
was lying on its back, but in a situation like that a good glass scren 
protector can totally make the difference between having a broken screen or 
not. I also have it in a relatively slim, but well made and drop-tested case so 
it did not seem to come to any harm and at least as far as I can tell there 
isn't a scratch on it. Glass screen protectors are quite inexpensive on Amazon 
so I will definitely not go without and if it ends  up not sitting perfectly on 
the screen any more I can simply replace it.

I have never used a screen protector because I keep my phone in a shoulder bag 
my wife custom made for it so it isn't banging against things in my pocket etc.
Screen protectors can cause the lack of sensitivity you are describing.

Yes sir. I have cleaned my screen a couple times, because I don’t like having 
dirty hands when I use my phone. I know it happens, so I try and keep it clean. 
I believe I’m using a screen protecter, but I’d have to check. I’ve had this 
phone for about four years, so I honestly don’t remember. 

Two things, Have you cleaned your screen lately and do you use a screen 
protector?
A dirty screen can have all sorts of weird effects and if you have screen 
protector which is maybe not very good any more can also have negative effects.

Subject: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

Good morning,
For a few weeks now, I have been dealing with a very annoying issue on my 
phone. When I do something like swipe or other Voiceover gestures with my 
finger, things start out OK, but after a few instances, there is a sort of jump 
or crash that takes me one layer back or to the very top of where I started, 
and I need to start over again. It is annoying when I’m looking at something 
like a website or Social Media and then the jump happens.
Also, when I input text using Braille mode, I won’t get more than two sentences 
into what I’m writing, and then it jumps and changes modes, making me need to 
go back to the rotar and go back to Braille mode.
I don’t think that speed has much to do with what’s going on, but I’ve tried 
slowing down, which doesn’t always work for me. I just know that something’s 
got to give because this continuous jumping around or going back a page or 
layer doesn’t make me productive at all!
Has this happened to anyone else? What might be happening here, and what can I 
try to fix it? I’ve not seen this behavior until a few weeks ago.
