Gigi, you're still not understanding though what we're trying to
explain. This explains why it didn't work.
The tripple click of the home key won't work unless several conditions
have been met.
1. The user gets the IPhone out of the box for the first time, powers
it on for the very first time, and as soon as the first initial screen
to set up the device comes up, they then press the home key 3 times
quickly in a row.
2. The user must go into settings, accessibility, tripple click home,
and set it to toggle voiceover.
Here's the thing though that you need to understand. The tripple
clicking of the home key, to toggle it on/off as you all were testing,
and trying to do, will, not, work, unless you either manually set it
to do so through settings, or unless you mash the home key the 3 times
quickly after very very first turnhing on the phone. I don't mean,
turn on the phone after it already has been before, then immediately
press home 3 times. That won't necessarily work. You literally have
to do it initially the very very very first time ever that the device
is powered on or is reset to factory default settings with all data
being wiped.
I guarantee, if you was to buy an I O S device from Apple, take it out
of the box, put the sim card in, if there need to be one depending on
the network it's being used with, then hold the sleep/power button on
the top right of the device, power it on, then as soon for the first
time as it ever gets power, and comes on, as soon as you see the
screen that says welcome, and you then immediately press the home key,
the round concaved key at the front bottom center just below the
screen 3 times quickly as a tripple click, Voiceover would then start
talking. It would be a bit quiet, and you may have to turn it up, but
ultimately, it should turn on.
The reason it wasn't working when you all did it, is because someone
had already gotten through those welcome screens. They'd already
selected their language, time zone, etc etc and initially set up the
device. Once they've done this, if they didn't turn Voiceover on at
that time with the tripple click, as they were setting it up, then it
won't work unless you manually go in and turn that setting on. If you
do it during the initial setup screen, it will turn Voiceover on, plus
will set it so that from that point forward, no matter what, hitting
the home key 3 quick times will toggle Voiceover on/off.
I have an old IPod, which is pretty much identical to an IPhone only
without the hardware gut of the phone, but same exact system/OS. It's
still I O S. If this doesn't make sense, I'll try making an audio
recording with it after restoring it to factory default and show you
what I mean.
Chris.
