Hi Terrie,
I suspect you had the speak selections enabled which voices certain things whether VO is on or off. It kind of annoyed my sighted wife that her device would start speaking out of the blue. I think that may have added to the confusion for you. I think you will find iOS 7 much better and more stable once you get it set up. Once you upgrade, back the phone up again and perhaps the AT&T folks can do the diagnostic to make sure things are running correctly and if not, they can wipe the phone and reinstall iOS 7. Good luck, Richard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Terrie Terlau Sent: Sunday, February 9, 2014 7:24 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Thanks and some Positive News Hello Kimber, Alex, Patti, Alan, Christopher, Larry, and Sieghard, I want to thank all of you for your thoughtful suggestions. I worked with your ideas. You all on this list are so awesome. I was in a position of being totally stuck and you responded with good suggestions and help. After trying your suggestions, I talked with AT&T Tech Support -- and our final conclusion was that I should try to back up and then take the phone to an aT&T store where they might need to wipe it. When I opened iTunes on the PC and connected the phone, the PC made the USB connection sound, the phone chirped, and Jaws stopped talking not only in iTunes but everywhere else. I am running a 64 bit version of Windows 7 home. I had to shut down and restart to get speech. I then repeated the sequence and the same things happened. I was pretty concerned at that point. I had a sighted friend check Voice Over and it was off. With her help, we turned it on. I had a great many apps open and I closed them. I then turned off the phone and left it off for about 15 minutes. So far, it is working at this point. The puzzling thing, though, and the thing that I am concerned about, is that when VO went off, it still worked when on phone calls and when Siri was up. This doesn't sound like what should happen when VO is off. Today I backed up the phone with iTunes and things still seem to be working well. I am about to delete some data from the phone so that I have enough room to update and then take the plunge. I may see if the AT&T store can run a diagnostic on the phone after I update because I don't like how VO was partly working and partly not when it showed as off. Thanks again for all your help.
