Chris, I like this feature. My iPhone can be in the bed room on the other end
of the house and I get a phone call. My iPad Air is here next to me on my
desk. I now don't have to get up and run to the bed room and hope the caller
doesn't hang up and that's assuming I even heard it ring in the first place.
This is a 3 bedroom 2 bath house so it's isn't a small house so I love this
feature. As a side note, I installed iOS 8 but hadn't finished reading through
all the new features. I got a phone call and my iPad Air rang. On the screen
was an answer button so I double tapped it and started talking to my daughter.
I explained what happened and she got a chuckle out of it so for me it works
pretty well.
Regards,
Alan

Lol! That will be part of the handoff feature in iOS 8. This allows calls to
be made and received from any device running iOS 8 including iPad and iPod
Touch as well as Macs running Yosemite coming soon.

have cell service but began ringing after this update, does announce who's
calling. So go figure! LOL

Sharonda,
Maybe Apple is not complete crap but, in view of what they pulled today,
its
making people wonder if the extra money they pay for an Apple product is
really worth it. They seem to have completely abused the confidence of
their customers by letting down their quality control which, in fact, is
complete crap. As far as I am concerned, the subjet line can stay there
for
a while

Personally, I believe the subject should be changed. iOS is not complete
crap. It may not have all of the bugs worked out, but it is not complete
crap. That's just one person's opin ion.

I don't think it's exclusive to people running IOS 8 on the 4S. Brian for
example, who started this thread, said he's running IOS 8 on his 5s.

It seems to me that the people who are having crashing problems with

First of all I must say that I don't regret upgrading my 4s to iOS 8.
However, VoiceOver crashes all the time on my 4s.
I have not found a pattern to all the crashes.
The good thing is that VO at least restarts when it decide to die on
me.
But it crashes at least 10-15 times a day and I know when it crashed
VO is on, screen curtain on etc is announced.
I have done a reset - reset to factory settings but still the same.

Doing as David suggests is probably best, but it might also be the
case that your voice was turned off. Try a three finger double tap
to toggle the voice on and off.
Also, if you have the home button set as your VoiceOver short cut,
try a triple tap of the home button. Recycling VoiceOver helps me in
similar situations. Maybe you can use Siri to turn VoiceOver off and
then back on as well.
I've seen a couple of posts now to where IOS 8 with it's VoiceOver
bugs is compared to blindness specific products or older smart phone
technologies, like Windows Mobile running Mobile Accessibility.
IMHO, one of the great things about Apple and their commitment to
making their main stream products accessible is that we get treated
the same as the rest of their main stream customers. I fear that if
we lower the bar with our expectations then we're no better off then
when we use those so called blind ghetto products that so many
people are quick to thumb their noses at. Let's give Apple credit
where credit is due, but let's just not roll over like blind Uncle
Tom's being happy with whatever accessibility Apple thinks we'll be
content with.

When VO goes quiet like that, take your fingers away from the

to catch up.
Something similar occurred with iOS 7 when it first came out.
Unlike blindness specific poducts which can take six months to a
year to be fixed, Apple's history is to take one-three months.
Let's see what happens.

I'm sorry but VoiceOver on my 5S has now complete crap on IOS 8 as
for the second time today VoiceOver has completely crapped out
while tapping the screen at the same time a push notification
comes through. VoiceOVer just dies and if I press the home button
and tell Siri to tell Siri to turn VO on Siri tells me VO is
already on. Ok, really then why am I hearing nothing but clicks.
Then I go to press the power on/off button and the home button to
restart the phone and now that doesn't work as I hear the photo
being
taken sound. Really impressive job with IOS8 Apple.
I'm sorry but this IOS 8 release with all of its bugs is total
crap and a really piss poor job by Apple for the blind community.
If you haven't upgraded yet don't until 8.1 and that is if Apple
can be bothered to actually make some VO changes in that one as it
is obvious there engineers are more focused on other areas and
VoiceOver is at the bottom of the food chain. Time to start at
least listening to what Droid is doin
g, never thought I would say that having been on the iPhone since
the 3GS and completely shifting all my products to Apple, but this
release and the
35 or so VO bugs is making me start to think maybe Apple isn't the
answer.
