Re: iPhone XS Max Urgent Help.

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi, I suspect that the slider is working normally, just that the sighted person is using non-VO gestures to attempt to enact the action.  You can either turn off VO and have the sighted person turn off your iPhone, or press and hold the side button and the volume down buttons for a few seconds, to bring up the Power Down dialog, then flick left a few times until the haptic vibration tells you that you've got to the left most button, then double-tap.  This will shut down the iPhone and will not call emergency services.  Make sure you flick left enough times to feel the haptic vibration.  After you restart, you should have normal VO again. Later...

To begin with and before I get the question I am on the last update on iOS. I was editing an email  and was using SmartBeetle Braille display. Suddenly speech stopped completely and the cursor on the  Braille display began dancing but I couldn't navigate any more. Tried to restart my Braille display  as I do in such situations for no avail. Exited and restarted VoiceOver with both Siri and the side  button and Siri is confirming as usual but the Braille is remembering even when VoiceOver the last  state it was displaying i.e the last words I wrote. I am enabling Voice Control to try open  settings-general-shut down but no voice feedback. Tried connecting it to iTunes but it is saying I  must continue on the iPhone to allow Sync. Finally I chased a sighted woman and she confirmed my  worries, the slider to shut down does not work and not when I connect it to iTunes either to allow  sync with pc. Now I want to force it shut down but how for heavens sake? I am getting notifications from the apps on it and it rings, I tapped while on charging from cable  vol-up-voldown then held on power but it is shouting serene and calling sos, any help thanks. -- Georges Zeinoun Timmerv. 6A ITR LGH1102, 54163 SKÖVDE    SWEDEN Tel: +46 (500) 48 29 29 Mobile: +46 (70) 366 63 29 -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
