Hello Bill, Go to Settings, and choose Display & Brightness. One of the options on that screen is Raise to Wake. If you turn it off, your phone won't talk when you move it around if the screen is locked. As for making gestures you don't intend, I would suggest going to Settings, choosing

I have not tried dictating contact info cuz the spelling is very important. But, I assume you would have to double tap on each field, single finger double tap on dictate, say what you want to say, then two finger double tap to end dictation for that field. From: wui chin Leong Sent:

Phone settings for the 8 Plus

Hello. I'm having a couple issues with my new 8 Plus. When I jiggle or bump it even slightly, the phone speaks, which can be disconcerting to those around me if I'm in a group of people, such as at church. Also, the touch seems very sensitive to the slightest tap, for instance,

I find your statement that email on the iPad is easier than it is on the phone fascinating. I despise email on the iPad. I had the original iPad, and I have an iPad mini. And I never use it for mail unless my phone is totally dead. Mostly, this is because whenever I open the app, it never puts

RE: IPhone versess IPad

I'd say the only time an iPad has advantages over an iPhone is if you have enough usable vision to take advantage of the larger screen to either view more or use greater magnification. Otherwise, I'd say an iPhone is easier to navigate with. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From:
