Sorry, I ought to have been more specific. To demonstrate the voice issue as that is clearly access related. Karen On Thu, 25 Apr 2024, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries wrote: I was Kinda surprised by that too, Brad, and they didn???t say. The only reason I can imagine is that the two

I was Kinda surprised by that too, Brad, and they didn’t say. The only reason I can imagine is that the two issues started at the same time, so it does seem like there’s a possibility that they are related. Best, Donna > On Apr 25, 2024, at 5:39 PM, Brad Snyder wrote: > > Why would they tell

Why would they tell you to call Accessibility to discuss the battery issue. I don’t see how this could have anything to do with accessibility. This seems like a blow-off move. - Brad - On Apr 25, 2024, at 16:52, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries wrote: I heard back from Apple. They are

I heard back from Apple. They are looking into the Samantha issue. They’ve suggested I call accessibility to discuss the battery issue. I will do that when time permits. Donna > On Apr 25, 2024, at 2:14 PM, Karen Lewellen wrote: > > Has anyone called apple accessibility directly about the

Mine is using Samantha right now, and I absolutely can’t get it to change back, no matter what I do. That voice really grates on me. She sounds like she has been out drinking and smoking all night and has a bad hangover. Lol Cheers, Donna > On Apr 25, 2024, at 1:13 PM, Mary Otten wrote: > >

I just saw that language switch thing yesterday. I had never seen it before. In my case, I have Samantha set, but then it sometimes just switches to Russian, which I also have. But I don’t want it except if I’m trying to read Russian, which I don’t usually do on the watch. Sent from my iPhone

Hi! Yes I have that Samantha thing happening too and I am using Swedish Alva. It takes time to switch her back to Swedish and stop her from speaking Swedish with the Samantha Voice. So write to the accessibility team and I will give them feedback as I am a beta tester. Bless. /A > 25 apr. 2024

Oh, and one more weird thing. This one happens during the day, when not in sleep mode. My watch keeps switching back to Samantha. Currently, I am unable to get it back to Siri voice 4, my usual voice. Thanks, Donna > On Apr 25, 2024, at 7:47 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: > > Hi Gabe, > > Thanks

Hi Gabe, Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried that, with no change. In fact, the problem is getting worse. Last night when I went to bed at ten, it was at 100%. When I woke up at 3:30 this morning, it was down to 56%. But it’s definitely related to sleep mode. When I get up, I force

Hi, I'd also double tap the side button to bring up the app switcher and close any apps that appear like they might be battery drainers. Heck, if your battery is draining that fast it might be worth closing all apps and then restarting your watch again Gabe On Apr 24, 2024, at 7:44 AM, 'Donna
