Switch control cannot be activated until a Bluetooth switch device has been paired with the iOS device. Switch control causes a scanning box to move from one item to the next on the screen. When the correct item is highlighted, the user taps the switch which activates the highlighted item. When

Hi Everyone, I updated last night too, and I'm also using a 4S. Bluetooth most definitely was turned on after the update when it hadn't been before I did it. Desi On Jul 1, 2014, at 4:15 AM, Christopher Hallsworth wrote: > Hi all > On my iPhone 4s bluetooth is not turned on here after the

Well, I turn on my Bluetooth display about 90% of the time, so I didn't even notice. That is a great point about the switch devices. It makes me wonder about how often sighted folks think about turning VO on and off with triple-click-home. Icertainly don't see signs of Apple flagging on accessi

Actually, switch control and VO can work together. You would not wish to do so, however, because switch access is inherently rather slow. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone > On 1 Jul 2014, at 23:20, Christopher Hallsworth > w

I would imagine this is also great for deaf-blind users who access and iOS device solely through a Braille display. Thanks, Ari > On Jul 1, 2014, at 7:20 AM, Christopher Hallsworth > wrote: > > Heard of this Switch Control and sounds very fascinating. I don't think we as > VO users can use

Heard of this Switch Control and sounds very fascinating. I don't think we as VO users can use it though. It's designed for severely motor impaired users who need special ways to access an iOS device, a switch device being one of them. Obviously these devices require bluetooth so this needs to

This is perfectly normal. I believe Facetime is also automatically turned on if the user has disabled it--not sure, but the Bluetooth thing is normal just like in previous updates. Joseph - Original Message - From: "M. Taylor" To: Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2014 12:43 AM Subject: Beware

Yes, this is now the default setting. It is for those with disabilities who require switch access for accessing their iOS devices. Unlike you, if Bluetooth is accidentally switched off, they cannot get it turned back on without assistance. It is far easier for you to turn Bluetooth off again.

Hi Mark, Bluetooth is turned on by default on any version of iOS 7, this is true if you upgrade or do a factory reset and has been so since iOS 7.0 was released. Regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of M. Taylor
