Hi David, Len and others, My 4S which does have the volume issue during a call also has the issue with VO reading out the call duration. What happens for me is that often when I answer a call on my headset everything is fine. If the call is longer, after 2 or so minutes the screen will lock and Voiceover will say "Screen Locked". Then maybe 20 or 30 seconds later it will start announcing the call duration about every 20 or so seconds even if I had previously moved focus away from that during the same phone call.

And, VO still ends up on the time. I am not being highly critical of Apple nor the phone, just stating an observation that I have duplicated many times as have several others I know who are equally careful. This has been true both in 5.1.1 and 6.0 with my 4S.

I have done this and it will place the focus where the body part brushes the phone. All it takes is the merest contact. The touch-screen is not pressure sensitive, it is contact sensitive. Now, if you ensure that VO is not highlighting the call timer, close the phone app, have your headset connected, use the button on the headset chord to activate Siri, and voice-dial a number / contact, you will have eliminated all possibilities of touching the screen inadvertently. If VO starts reading the call timer then, you have definitely found a bug. VO remains on the field it was last on when the call screen pops up. Using the above method, I have never been able to cause the troubling behaviour. > > David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA > Email: dchitten...@gmail.com > Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 > Sent from my iPhone > > On 28/10/2012, at 11:35, Len Burns <len.bu...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> While I know the below happens, I have seen the same thing occur with >> an earpiece on, phone lying on the table with nothing near it.
