Re: The annoying VoiceOver going silent bug
I have noticed this VO stopping behavior since updating to iOS 6. However, compared to what I've read from others and the few times that it happened to me before, it is not happening for nearly as long. If it goes silent, it is for a few seconds, verses much longer from some reports I've read on this list before. It seems to happen in random places. Over all though, VO seems more responsive and the phone more snappy. I'm using an iPhone 4 and still seeing the increased responsiveness.

Re: The annoying VoiceOver going silent bug
Hello, I doubt if they are connected. For many people, the HQ voice was removed during upgrade. It is then redownloaded after the update is complete. My guess is this happens if upgrading iOS requires more memory. Then again, it may happen to everyone. I am not certain as I was asleep during parts of my upgrade, so my iPhone waited a little while before I completed the process. It may have downloaded my HQ voice during that time. I have not been able to reproduce the temporary silence bug since my update, and I am using the HQ voice on my iPhone 4.

Re: The annoying VoiceOver going silent bug
Hello, If VO goes silent for a few seconds, it is just brief intervals of very high active (RAM) memory usage. This is not the same as the VO silent bug. I occasionally get this behaviour, and I can cause it by very rapidly performing intensive memory tasks. The problem will be worse on older equipment. I am running an iPhone 4. I'm willing to bet the problem disappears when I upgrade to an iPhone 5 which will have over double the RAM and four-times the processor and processing speed. I can cause similar behaviour in older computers by running modern software and OS which require faster processing and more RAM.
