You can also hold down one of the volume buttons and the side button at the same time for about a second and that will bring up the power off option or the emergency SOS button to call emergency services. If you hold the two down for about 5 seconds, I believe that will call 911. So be sure to

I know a lot of the MVNO companies like strait talk and Cricket wireless are still trying to unload the 7 for around $150 to $199. But occasionally they will run a deal where you can pick it up for $99. I think that Boost Mobile has that deal going right now. If you're on a budget and can find

I see iPhone 7's all over the place for $99 these days. I personally wouldn't pay $200 myself. yes you can set it up with no sighted assistance. Just press the home button three times once the phone starts and voice over will come up. If I was doing this I would save up and buy the new SE2020

You're very welcome. Yeah I've saved the day for many people over the past few years. I don't know why 0 volume is no speech. If you use Alex he's really low, but you can still hear him. But all other voices are silent. On 9/28/2020 9:12 PM, Janet Bell wrote: Hi Gordon you are a star

Re: iPhone se has stopped talking

2020-09-28 Thread Gordon
First: try the up volume button on the side. If that doesn't work, there's a chance you could have accidentally turned the volume down in the rotor. Turn the rotor and flick up once each time you turn it. If that rotor volume is set to 0, you wont have speech unless you're using Alex for some

First app to offer stereo recording

So Apple announced several months ago that they would be allowing stereo recording in IOS 14 giving app developers access to both mics. The ferite Studio app is the first that I've found to take advantage of that opportunity. You can get it for free and use it to make recordings under 10

So there is a temporary fix that helps minimize the voice over lag you'll experience in IOS 14, and this is really simple and easy. You simply add a second language to your rotor and switch to it. I just added English Samantha like I use for the default. When you switch to it in the rotor, the

I'm going to recommend that people who haven't upgraded to 14 not do so just yet. It's not going to break your phone, but there are some huge headaches you'll encounter with IOS 14. The one good thing about Apple is that they usually get on this stuff pretty fast and start pushing out fixes

You're encrypted backup isn't going to work since it's a 13.7 backup and your phone is running 14. If you're lucky your phone might just be stuck in recovery mode and didn't actually try to downgrade back to 13.7 which I'm not sure if Apple is still signing that anymore. Do some google
