I like this new change. I use a pin lock on my phone, and it's fine. I think
the phone, even though it's a 4S seems a little faster in some areas. Why
they had to turn my volume down that I liked the way it was, even though I
updated over the air, I don't know. What I had to do to raise it was to move
my finger randomly around the screen as I pressed the side volume buttons.

When I get prompted for passwords or any of that, I just whip out my
bluetooth keyboard and filled it in. I got that prompt this last week and
all went fine.

Hi Sharee
Do you know that if you are using touch typing the lower left-hand thing
for changing from numbers to letters responds the way the letters do in
touch typing so you don't spec tap on it anymore. The delete do the same
thing

Cheree Heppe here:
This morning, September 22, I updated the I O S of my I-devices from
5.xxx to I O S 6. I used wifi.
At the end of the update process, the prompt instructed me to type in my
ICloud password. When I attempted to do this, neither of the IOS
devices' screens would respond to taps to engage the shift or
numbers/symbols levels. This meant that I had to skip this process.
I phoned Apple. Their service offers an automated, interactive tool
which I attempted to use. Things went well until the auto-service wanted
my serial number. It placed me in wait mode while I looked up my serial
number. Unfortunately, the wait mode employed music to keep the line
active. The music masked out VoiceOver prompts. The assumption in wait
mode seemed to exclude auditory feedback as a mode to acquire and
transfer info. The designers didn't think that a VoiceOver user would
have to hear spoken prompts over the music.
A solution could involve a choice at the point where the wait screen came
on saying something like selecting whether to hear the music or a soft,
intermittent tone. The tone would keep the line active and would not
significantly block VoiceOver feedback while a VoiceOver user searched
the device for data or info.
I asked for an agent and got a woman who could not get her head around
the Voice Over connection at first. Apparently, apple is still training
their people to think in separate but equal mode, where VoiceOver becomes
the province of a specialized cadre who only deal with this ever so
special application. Sounds a lot like JAWS and Freedom Scientific's way
of handling things, doesn't it? I, for one, have walked in greener
pastures and don't want that non-productive, isolating thinking
circulating in an Apple mindset or tech environment.
I got escalated to what the woman called a senior person. He didn't get
disability access well. He kept saying that the odd, high-pitched tone
the VoiceOver voice now uses when the screen locks is so that blind
people who are totally blind can understand that the screen is locked.
When I cleared it up by explaining that I am totally blind and don't need
to have incompetence flouted as accessibility in the name of me being
blind, he then said that the voice went into this high-pitched,
exaggerated tonal mode for the lock screen notification because some
blind people put their screens on vibrate and this signals them. I said
that when the screen is on vibrate, the voice doesn't signal.
I think he wasn't as senior as he claimed. But he did know enough to
show me how to check the Settings/ICloud area. It seems that my problem
is fixed somehow re ICloud enrollment or upgrade, or whatever.
Have any others experienced this dramatically different lock screen tone
change when the screens of the I-devices lock? I'm using the Karen
voice, I think that's her designation.

Cheree Heppe
