Oy, Verizon must be one of the slowest. I'm getting bored waiting. Beginning to wonder, how much do I really want the 5s? :) I don't think I do well with back orders. I already struggle with expensive purchases. Lol! This just gives me time to second guess myself. I ordered mine on Setp.

This was a tricky one for me as well. AS far as I can figure, you only need to visit the built-in weather app once, this seems to activate weather showing up in Notification center. hth, Traci On Sep 23, 2013, at 2:10 PM, Chris Judd wrote: > I know this was posted earlier, but I was wondering

I took a screen shot of a receipt today and ran over to photos to make sure it worked… Now voiceOver says screen shot, a nice differentiation from just saying photo. :) A handy thing to have, so I can easily delete old receipts. VO also gives some more details of photos, if it is dark or blur

Hi everyone, After upgrading to ios7, I'm finding the speaker phone with VO extremely sensitive. Lol, I'm also finding it very annoying. I answer my call, then I'm trying to keep the phone very still, but it seems like that darn speaker phone activates no matter what. Please any suggestions.

Re: closing out apps in the switcher

I'm finding the new closing out apps much faster. I double tap home to bring up the switcher, touch the app I want to close, then make sure the close action is selected. If I want to close all, I put my finger on the next app and use the split tap method for the rest. It happens very quickly.
