Hi Jeffrey, I think you are confusing some of this. You write: I disabled the VoiceOver volume changed using buttons. I am not aware of such a setting anywhere. You can go to Settings and Sounds and turn off ""Change with buttons". However, if you swipe right once from this setting you hear Voiceover speak the following explanation: The volume of the ringer and alerts will not be affected by the volume buttons.
This means that if you turn off "Change with buttons" this will only affect the ringer and alert tones and you can't accidently turn the ringer volume down to where you can't hear it in a noisy environment. On my iPhone 5S I can change Voiceover volume without any problems using the volume buttons even if "Change with buttons" is turned off. I just do a 2-finger swipe up on the home screen so Voiceover starts reading all the apps on the home screen and then I can turn Voiceover volume up or down. I don't know if an iPhone 4 or 4S or even a 5 would behave different from a 5S, but this should work and if it doesn't you might want to try and empty your app switcher and reboot the phone to see if that makes a difference.

Then, the other night, while playing iFarkle, I needed to lower my VoiceOver volume, and did so by swiping up with two fingers to initiate a SayAll of the screen's content, and pressing the volume down button until it got down to where I wanted it. Now, I realize I shouldn't have been able to do this, given that I had changed the setting, but I didn't think much about it at the time. When I left the game, I tried to reset the volume to a normal level, and couldn't do it using the same technique. So, I went to the voiceover settings, looking for somewhere to jack the volume up again. I couldn't find anything, which makes me wonder how you're supposed to be able to adjust the volume of VoiceOver if that setting is turned off. Then, when I got sick of the annoyingly low volume, I decided to go back into iFarkle and try to adjust it there, and lo and behold, it worked. I was able to turn the volume up, using the volume up button while VoiceOver was speaking. So, apparently this setting is not consistent while within certain apps. I thought people who are stuck with their volumes low might want to try this approach for resetting their volume back above 35%. It sure seems easier than resetting the phone. I haven't tested this within other apps, but was really glad to find it worked in iFarkle. Jeffrey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
