Re: The oddest thing
Several months ago, I did 30 of the reboots in a row. I got the problem to strike twice during those 30 reboots. The problem is extremely rare, and Apple has not yet been able to reproduce it. It does not happen on every iPhone. My iPhone 4 never had it happen. So, for this one, it is an extremely obscure little bug.

Re: The oddest thing
Yes I did and it wasn't. This has happened to me a couple of times now and its not fun. One cause I believe was the installation of firee2. That app has caused me to lose voiceover more times then I can count with only configure universal access in iTunes to restore voiceover. Haven't used firee2 in a good while though and this happened for no apparent reason I can see. Strange I know.

RE: The oddest thing
Hi Sieghard. Thanks for the suggestions. I did plug in a headset; no sounds. I tried the three finger double tap, nothing. The other day when I was doing something the voiceover kept cutting in an out so it makes me think there is something really wrong with the phone. Patti _ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 11:44 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: The oddest thing Hi Patty, A couple of things you can try: Plug in a headset and check if you hear Voiceover. If you do then your Voiceover volume got turned down to 0. If that is the case, make sure your phone is unlocked with the headset connected, then unplug the headset and do a 2-finger swipe up. This will start reading the content on your screen starting at the top, now repeatedly push the volume up button and you should be able to turn your speaker volume up again. If you don't hear Voiceover volume using the headset either, try a 3-finger double tap which turns speech on/off. This is different from turning off Voiceover with a triple click home and you may have accidently muted your speech this way. You normally do hear the Voiceover clicks if speech is muted this way and you said you don't hear any of that so I assume this is not what happened although, as Mich pointed out, your mute switch may also have been moved which would mute those sounds. For the phone to be unmuted, the mute switch has to be in the forward position (towards the screen), if you push it back and mute it, there will be a short vibration, you will not get that vibration if you pull it forward again.

The phone isn't muted and the volume is 100%. I think I know what it is, I bet my sounds are way down but can't fix them without sighted help.

RE: The oddest thing
Hi Don, When this happened, did you try to see if Voiceover was there with a headset? I don't think I ever had Voiceover quit on me to the point where I had to do a restore via iTunes to get it back as it mostly is an issue of the volume going to 0 and this seems to happen more often if you use a dock. There are different volume controls internally for the external speaker, a headset or when it is plugged in to a dock and I've seen it where Voiceover was fine when the phone was on the dock and as soon as you took it off there was nothing because Voiceover volume for the external speaker had dropped to 0.
