And I would never carry my phone outside of its shoulder bag in those circumstances for that very reason.

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 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. 😊 From: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Monday, July 10, 2023 6:03 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: RE: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures 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.

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 -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
