Hello.
Good tip about turning off auto dial in Emergency SOS. I just did that on my 8 Plus. Another setting I found was Call with Side Button. It’s off now. Should it be on?

I am not sure what the problem is! I called 911 when I was setting up my iPhone 8. I put it in the case while the phone was on and it pressed the power and volume buttons at the same time in the process of doing that. You need to go into settings and emergency SOS. Turn off the auto dial feature so that you have to confirm if you want to call 911. Otherwise it will auto dial in five seconds if you ever press those two buttons again.

I am not sure what the problem is! Hi Mary and all, Finally I got my phone working. I went to the apple store and they gave me a new phone. They tried to restore my iPhone several times and it remained stuck in the same place I saw in my home when I tried to set it up. The technician did not want to waste too much time. She gave me a new phone. The new one works seamlessly. The only mistake I made is to dial 911 by mistake. I still do not know what I did exactly to make such a mistake, but I hope I won’t do it again. As far as the transfer of my apps and keyboards, everything went well.

I am not sure what the problem is! Wow, Chris! What a hassle! I certainly hope they get this sorted for you. Mary PS do you use the Arabic keyboard on your phone? If you do, I will be very curious how that transfer works for you, since my second language keyboard is no where and evidence, although it is said to be so into settings. That switch were you switch from one keyboard to another while in it and it is simply not there.

The problem was not in starting up Voice Over, That was easy. The problem is that voice over dies in the middle of the set up process and the iPhone freezes. Last night I called the Apple disability support. The technician and I spent over an hour trying to find a fix to no avail. I gave her access to my laptop and also gave her access to my phone camera and we tried very hard to get the setup of the new iPhone going, but we failed. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the apple store in my area. Hopefully they will be able to figure out the problem, or give me a new iPhone. We shall see!

I am not sure what the problem is! Cris, I don't know if this will help, but this is what we did with our ipad when we didn't have anyone hear to get the ipad going. When we got our ipad about a year ago I tripple tapped the home button on the ipad and it began talking. I don't know if this will work with the phone, and if nothing else as worked yet, maybe you could give it a try. Another thought, you might want to install itunes on your computer, if you don't already have it installed, hook your phone up to your computer and see what you could do to get your phone going. You probably have a solution by now with listers that have responded to you, but I hope you could find a solution soon, and let us know how you like your new phone. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cris Ali <mailto:filasti...@hotmail.com> To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, October 26, 2018 7:51 PM Subject: Unable to do anything with my iPhone. I am not sure what the problem is! Hi folks, I bought a new iPhone XR and I can’t set it up. First I tried the quick start as suggested by apple by putting it next to my old phone, , and it did not work. I then tried to set it up using the iTunes to no avail. Now I am stuck. I can’t even get it to go into recovery mode to wipe it clean. What do you suggest I do? When I do the command for recovery mode, I get a message on iTunes telling me that iTunes cannot connect to the iPhone until I enter a passcode. Try again or cancel. I never had a problem like this with apple products. Could it be that my phone is defective or is there something wrong with the new iPhone compatibility with the iTunes? Any ideas will be appreciated. Regards, Cris -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
