Re: ringers and alerts and email

You probably don't want to change the ringer with the volume buttons. So you're going to want that off. that volume in settings is the ringer/alarm volume. Set that where you want your ringer and alarms volumes to be. Everything else will at that point be controlled by the buttons on the side.

The tripple press of the home key is a toggle for voice over. So if it's off doing that will turn it on and the same for turning it back on. I didn't think about the two three finger tap for muting and unmuting speech. So you can try that in conjunction with the tripple tap of the home button
