Re: Tripple click for accessibility not working properly (was) Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
Yes, this is correct, when home click speed is set to normal, the home button must be pressed very quickly. To slow it down a little, change the speed of the home button in settings, general, accessibility, home click speed.

Re: Tripple click for accessibility not working properly (was) Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
If one is in noisy environments, or does not have internet access, Siri doesn't work very well, or at all. In these situations, it would be best to have home click speed set at the level one is comfortable with. Note: when setting slow or slowest, it will take longer for apps to return to home screen, or app switcher to activate, because iOS will need to wait longer before activating the chosen function of the home button.

Re: Tripple click for accessibility not working properly (was) Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
Thank you David for pointing this home click speed out.I had been ignoring the difficulties I was having accomplishing double click and triple click home button. Now much, much easier for me. Think I saw it there, but I didn't think to see what it would do. Again, thanks for the tip, though I was not the one who asked originally. reggie and Allegra On Mar 13, 2014, at 4:56 PM, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, go to settings, general, accessibility, home click speed, and adjust the speed of the home button between normal, slow, and slowest.

Re: Tripple click for accessibility not working properly (was) Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
What I've discovered is that using the Home Button in 7.1 isn't quite as patient a procedure as in previous iOS versions. In order to launch the app switcher, I must hit the Home Button twice somewhat more quickly than seems to have been necessary in pre-7.1 iOS versions. I presume the same is likely true for toggling VoiceOver off and on. Holland's Boy, Bill - The bad end unhappily, the good unluckily.

Re: Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
I am responding to this because, although I am obviously in the minority, I still cannot open the app switcher on my wife's fifth generation iPod. I am wondering just how to proceed, wondering whether there is anything I can do until the next version of IOS is released. I ask because I know of no means of reinstalling the operating system.

Four finger swipe up to open app switcher.
If I go to the bottom of my screen and put my four fingers on the very bottom and swipe up I can open the app switcher. I use this gesture to open the app switcher to save on wearing out my home button. Does this gesture still open the app switcher in ios 7.1? I still have ios 7.0.6 as I have not downloaded the new version due to the keyboard issue. I am using an iPad 4.

Re: Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
Don, I don't know anything about the iPod, but if it has a tripple click for accessibility setting, I would try turning that off. When I did that my problem with the app switcher was solved. Obviously it's not a fix, but it is a viable workaround at least in my case. Kimber On 3/12/14, Donald L.

Reduce Motion Setting was RE: Tripple click for accessibility not working properly (was) Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
I'm not sure if the Reduce Motion setting you are referencing will affect the behavior of how quickly the Home button must be pressed to engage the Apps Center or VoiceOver. I do have Reduce Motion set on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1 and am not experiencing the problem but that could be due to the speed at which I naturally press the Home button. Anyway, if you'd like to turn on the Reduce Motion setting, it can be found at Settings, General, Accessibility. It is the second from the last option in the first section which is headed Vision. Or you can set your rotor to headings, swipe down with one finger to jump to the Hearing section, and then swipe left twice with one finger to be on the Reduce Motion item. You have to open the item and then set the switch to on. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of RobH!

Can't access app switcher
As mentioned in previous posts, after upgrading to IOS 7.1 on my wife's fifth gen iPod, I can no longer access the app switcher, regardless of what I do. It was suggested that I change the triple click home setting since one can enable voice over with Siri. I changed the triple click setting to a couple of different things and then rebooted the unit. No luck. Absolutely nothing happens when I press the home button twice. This prompts two questions. First, is there any other way to get into the app switcher? Second, what is the correct email address to send a report of this issue to the accessibility team at Apple. Thanks for feedback.

RE: Can't access app switcher
Hi Don, I use an iPad 4 and if I put my four fingers at the very bottom of the screen just off of it and swipe up with for fingers the app switcher will come up. I don't know if that gesture will work on an iPod. Also you have to have I think it is cold multiple finger gestures turn on. Ed -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donald L. Roberts Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 2:18 PM To: Viphone Subject: Can't access app switcher As mentioned in previous posts, after upgrading to IOS 7.1 on my wife's fifth gen iPod, I can no longer access the app switcher, regardless of what I do. It was suggested that I change the triple click home setting since one can enable voice over with Siri. I changed the triple click setting to a couple of different things and then rebooted the unit. No luck. Absolutely nothing happens when I press the home button twice. This prompts two questions. First, is there any other way to get into the app switcher? Second, what is the correct email address to send a report of this issue to the accessibility team at Apple. Thanks for feedback.

Re: Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
I don't know if this will work, but it is worth a try. I use Assistive Touch to keep from wearing out the home button, and you might be able to get into the app switcher with it. It is located in accessibility, under the physical and motor heading, or you can tell searie to turn it on.You have to tap device, more, then multitasking, that puts you into the app switcher.

Wearing Out The Home Button, was Four finger swipe up to open app switcher.
If you are concerned about wearing out the home button, which I think is a legitimate concern, turn on assistive touch. It is in accessibility, under the physical and motor heading, or ask searie to turn it on. Then, when you tap assistive touch, it, among other things, puts a home button on the screen, a little way above the real home button. If you do not like where the assistive touch icon appears on the screen, you can double tap and hold the icon, then move it to a more convenient place.

Now it is meant to be quick clicks, but isn't there something under accessibility for motor skills if you can't click that fast? If reliability can be demonstrated at speed, we could request them slow it down a bit. There was another issue of this sort which either got fixed or given an adjuster to moderate it at least.

It was suggested that I change the triple click home setting since one can enable voice over with Siri. I changed the triple click setting to a couple of different things and then rebooted the unit. No luck. Absolutely nothing happens when I press the home button twice. This prompts two questions. First, is there any other way to get into the app switcher? Second, what is the correct email address to send a report of this issue to the accessibility team at Apple. Thanks for feedback.

App switcher issue resolved
I am delighted to report that the issue where I was unable to launch the app switcher on my wife's ipod has been resolved. In fact, I actually was able to use the tripple click home for voice over as well. I am grateful to all who assisted with this problem. But special thanks to Anna who suggested slowing down the click response time. I had it set for default but set it to slow, and that did the trick. Again, many thanks to all.

Re: Reduce Motion Setting was RE: Tripple click for accessibility not working properly (was) Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
Hi, reduced motion doesn't have anything to do with the speed at which the Home button is pressed. However there is a setting which can be adjusted so the Home button presses are seen if you are a slower presser in case os motor issues. You can leave it at default or set it to slower. All of this is in accessibility section of the main settings app of course. -- Raul A. Gallegos Twitter and Facebook user ID: rau47 On 3/12/2014 11:32 AM, Alan Lemly wrote: I'm not sure if the Reduce Motion setting you are referencing will affect the behavior of how quickly the Home button must be pressed to engage the Apps Center or VoiceOver. I do have Reduce Motion set on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1 and am not experiencing the problem but that could be due to the speed at which I naturally press the Home button. Anyway, if you'd like to turn on the Reduce Motion setting, it can be found at Settings, General, Accessibility. It is the second from the last option in the first section which is headed Vision. Or you can set your rotor to headings, swipe down with one finger to jump to the Hearing section, and then swipe left twice with one finger to be on the Reduce Motion item. You have to open the item and then set the switch to on. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of RobH!

What I now realize is if I turn off the tripple click for accessibility (to turn VO on or off), the home button works as it should with a double click bringing up the app switcher. However, if I turn on tripple click for accessibility the home button doesn't work reliabily. Double click does not open the app switcher and tripple click does nothing at all. Occasionally a tripple click will cause the app switcher to open, but this behavior seems to be hit or miss. I am running 7.1 on a 4s.

Re: Trouble opening the app switcher under 7.1
Coincidentally, I went into Settings to change some thing or other (I forget just what it was) and when I exited and tried to bring app switcher it would not launch. I tried several times and no luck. So I power cycled my iPhone 5 and when it came back alive the app switcher was readily available via the Double Home Button Click.

Re: Focus 14 Blue with iPhone: Closing Applications From the App Switcher
You can't, as far as I know. To close apps you must double tap and hold, and there is no gesture for that. In iOS7 this is possible, because apps are closed with a three-finger flick up, but not in iOS6 or below.

Re: opening app switcher
The three finger swipe up, after giving focus to the status bar, will bring up the Control Center. It won't bring up the App Switcher. I don't know of another way to bring up the App Switcher, but that doesn't mean another means doesn't exist. Interestingly enough, pressing the home button once, while on the home screen, doesn't do anything anymore. I think Apple is missing an opportunity to take advantage of this scarce resource, so I gave them some feedback that the home button should definitely do something on the home screen, such as bring up the App Switcher.

Re: opening app switcher
Pressing the Home Button twice will, as you know, open the Switcher. Of course, the Apex requires that pass-through command to send space-h to an iOS device, so using that will not work unless you are the world's fastest typist. Instead, quickly hit the two inner thumbkeys twice, and that should work. On Oct 18, 2013, at 11:03 PM, Tom Lange lang...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, When I use my BrailleNote Apex to operate my phone.

RE: App Switcher [was Re: iOS 7, thoughts?]
Hi Andy and Alan, A 3-finger swipe up will close the app and if you have only one or 2 apps to close I find I use that gesture as well. However, as Christopher already said, you can also close an app by flicking up or down with 1 finger which puts focus on the Close option of the action rotor and then double tap. What I think it was Ron was describing was an easy and quick method to close many apps since in the app switcher the rotor selection remains on Close once you put it there. This means if you flick up or down with one finger you can simply double tap on an app, it disappears and the next apps slides over in its place, you can now continue to only double tap to close it and so on. What I find works even better and I have posted this twice is to use the split tap. If I have 10 or more apps open and I want to close them all out I just find the one immediately to the right of the Home button, so pretty much right in the middle of the screen. I now flick down to change to Close, then I put one finger on the app and start split tapping. I only have a 4S, but doing this closes apps and slides them over just about as fast as I can split tap, there is no delay and I can close 10 or 12 apps in probably about 3 seconds.

Re: App Switcher [was Re: iOS 7, thoughts?]
Hi, I don’t think it really matters though. My entire point was, it doesn’t make sense for home to bee in the app switcher if all other apps are closed. It should just take you directly to the home screen since the only thing you can do is lock your phone or go to the home screen.

I don't think you're that rare. I don't do it frequently, but occasionally I'll just go through and clean out everything in my App Switcher. From following the list, I think some people do this regularly, plus it's also a frequent suggestion when trouble shooting some issue on the phone.

I find that if I want to clese an app, I open App Switcher, swipe right to the app I want to close flick up once to invoke close. I can then just double-tap it, and move to the next app to close, double-tap and so on. The three-finger flick up, of course works and saves a gesture, but I've gotten pretty used to setting to close then moving to double-tapping the item to close.

App switcher in IOS 6
What gestures do I use to access and control the app switcher in IOS 6? I have a nagging suspicion I've been leaving apps open when I go from one to another. What I normally do is double tap the back button until it disappears, then press the home button to take me back to the home screen. How do I actually close programs? This is impoartant because I've read on this list that one should empty the app switcher before taking the leap into IOS 7, a leap which I plan to put off as long as I can.

The new App Switcher [was Re: iOS 7, thoughts?]
Well, there's two things I find so great about the App Switcher. The first is that I can get to all of my apps without having to switch pages. I really like not having to do a three finger swipe to get to anything but the last four apps in my App Switcher. The other thing I like is that I don't have to do a double tap and hold to be able to start deleting apps. I can just do a three finger swipe up or a flick up and then a double tap to remove an app from the App Switcher. A third thing I like is that I hear the status as to whether an app is running or not. On 09/27/2013 04:58 PM, Rose Combs wrote: What is so great about the app switcher, for me the old way worked a lot better. Then maybe it is because I don't swipe to every element on the screen, only do that occasionally, for the most part my fingers know where to go and that was certainly true in the older version. My husband has not figured out the new app switcher yet, but he has an excuse, he has been pretty ill and things that used to be easy for him to understand are more difficult now. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alexandra - Keinohrhasenfan Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 4:28 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iOS 7, thoughts? Hello, I like the new app switcher, the extra features of Siri and the control center. I don't really appreciate the notification center. It looks rather cluttered with these three buttons today, all and missed. Would be nice if it was possible to disable these. Another thing that bothers me is that no matter what I try I can't get the weather widget back into the notification center. This was always a valuable piece of information to me. The new voices of Siri in German are okay. The male one is rather good, whereas the female one sounds awful. The German voice of VoiceOver has some errors it didn't have in iOS 6. For example, it's not even able to say VoiceOver or app store properly. This is ridiculous. In general, the voices got worse, even when you're using the premium voices. They have some crackling sounds and somehow I feel they were compressed. Like an MP3 file that was compressed to a lower bitrate which sounds worse but saves some memory. While the voices got worse, the audio quality still sounds good. And this contrast is awful, especially when you're listening to a podcast and a push notification is read meanwhile. The contrast is especially frustrating when using Siri. Siri almost talks like a human, but when you have to listen to additional information with VoiceOver, the contrast destroys all the good user experience. This used to be better on iOS 5 and 6 when VoiceOver and Siri sounded similar. This is so annoying that I don't think I'll use Siri that often. Another thing that bothers me is the issue of focus loss within several apps. It's especially frustrating in Twitter clients when you favorite a tweet and go back to your timeline or RSS readers. Also the read all gesture doesn't work on Feeddler. When you perform this gesture, VoiceOver starts every now and then, and you will have to find your reading position and perform the read all gesture again. So there's neither Twitter nor reading RSS feeds for me since iOS 7.

Removing items from the App Switcher [was Re: hanging with friends and advertisements that even stay in app store]
There are two other ways to remove things from the App Switcher which may be just as fast. After bringing up the App Switcher, swipe right once to move focus to the first app in the App Switcher and now just use a three finger swipe up until all of the apps are gone. Alternatively, after moving focus to the first app, do a flick up or down so you hear Close whatever app and then just keep double tapping until all of the apps are removed.

RE: Removing items from the App Switcher [was Re: hanging with friends and advertisements that even stay in app store]
Hi Christopher and Joseph, Joseph is right, if you want to close a lot of apps flicking up or down to Delete and then split tapping is the way to go. However, you don't have to do a double tap and hold as Joseph describes. Once you flick down to Delete, you can just move your finger to find the first app next to where it says Home in the app switcher, then leave your finger there and don't move it. With another finger start split tapping the screen, it's very fast and works well.

Hi, Please explain the following step as I cannot replicate your procedure: Once you flick down to Delete, you can just move your finger to find the first app next to where it says Home in the app switcher, then leave your finger there and don't move it. Do I just move my finger by lifting it off the screen then swiping to the first app, or should I keep my finger on the screen and find the first app? Your procedure makes it seem as though one can simply look at the screen and find the location you are referring to.

However, you don't have to do a double tap and hold as Joseph describes. Once you flick down to Delete, you can just move your finger to find the first app next to where it says Home in the app switcher, then leave your finger there and don't move it. With another finger start split tapping the screen, it's very fast and works well.

After bringing up the App Switcher, swipe right once to move focus to the first app in the App Switcher and now just use a three finger swipe up until all of the apps are gone. Alternatively, after moving focus to the first app, do a flick up or down so you hear Close whatever app and then just keep double tapping until all of the apps are removed.

Once in the app switcher, if one swipes right then swipes up once as you have suggested, one will now be on the close button for the app which has focus. One can now double-tap and hold until the bypass chime is heard. Without lifting your first finger, if you split tap repeatedly, you can close all running apps at quite a fast clip. There was someone on this list who posted this little trick for IOS6, and I'm glad I can now replicate it on IOS7. Thanks for nudging me in the right direction!

I had a problem similar to that yesterday. I got into an app that popped up an advertisement, and I could not get out, and there was no dismiss button. I close the App Store and when I came back into the App Store, the advertisement was still fullscreen! So, I went into the app switcher and close the app. When I went back into the App Store, it was like I was never there. All new and ready to start again. I noticed, if you close your apps that are running after using them, you rarely run into issues which we read about on this list. As a rule, I try to remember to close all running apps at night before I go to bed. How I close my apps are, Double-click the home button. Voice over will say, app switcher. Then I swipe to the right with one finger. Voiceover will give me the name of the app and tell me it's running and then tell me to swipe up with three fingers to close the app. I again, swipe up with one finger, and voiceover says, close and the name of the app that is running. I then double tap with one finger to close that app. Then, if any other apps are open, the next one will appear and voiceover will say, running. I again double tap using one finger. I continue this procedure and till I hear the word home, meaning I have closed all running apps. I double tap on the home button, and Voila, I am back at the home screen. .

Braille Command For Opening iPod Search and Opening App Switcher?
Hi, all, I'm getting some inconsistent results when I use the Braille display to open the App switcher or search function. If I press h-space twice, as in both at once two times, I get either one. The way the world usually works, I get the one I don't want. Is there a way to make these commands more consistent? To be honest, I don't remember how to bring up iPod search with the use of the home button, so I'm not sure which corresponding Braille command is being used for it.

Re: Braille Command For Opening iPod Search and Opening App Switcher?
Hi there. It could be a timing issue. For example, if you are on the home screen and you press space with H you will be placed in the search. Now again, if you are on the home screen and you press space with H twice you will be placed in the app switcher. Also, if you were inside an app and you press space with age twice you will be put in the app switcher. So, pressing space with H twice quickly no matter where you are will put you in the app switcher. What I am thinking might be happening is that the space H command is not registering quickly enough to be seen as a double press of the home button and so if the app switcher is not opening. Maybe you are inside an app, you press space with H one time which put you on the home screen and then the second one is seen just for enough so that it is a second command instead of part of the first command. Since space with age from the home screen Puts you in the search, perhaps this is why sometimes you get the search and sometimes you get the app switcher. This has happened to me when pressing the F1 key twice using my Bluetooth keyboard. If it is seen as two separate presses of the home button as opposed to one double press of the home button, these are my results.

Re: Braille Command For Opening iPod Search and Opening App Switcher?
Thanks, Raul. This definitely makes sense to me. In the last few minutes, I have practiced holding down the space bar while pressing H two times quickly. This seems to register as a command for the app switcher more often than not. I'd forgotten about the search command from the home screen. This does explain why I end up in search sometimes.
