What is the difference between unlocking and jail breaking? I
thought that they were 2 separate things.

Subject: Re: Jail breaking
I will cover this also in my podcast.
I have had one or two extra bugs while using voice over on
my jailbroken iPhone 4 but nothing has ever moved and the
bugs are certainly easy to live with.
The two biggest I deal with occasionally are folders closing
a split second after I open them and I just have to re tap
the screen and occasionally when I press the sleep button my
phone will take a screen shot instead of locking.
to fix this I just tap the home button twice then hit the
sleep button and it goes right to sleep.
these are the only issues I have ever had with voice over.
Everything has worked just fine for me but I have not
unlocked my phone. Only jailbroken it.
If I am lucky I will have one of these bugs happen tonight
when I finish recording.
cheers!

Greetings from Chicago. I have never owned a cell phone before
and
really learned the benefit of one when I was in a suburb and
asked
folks for directions a few times. no one could answer my
questions
directly. they all turned to their smart phones! I realized I
could
have the same thing in my hand that was fully accessible. I
learned
about the Straight Talk service and discovered that iPhone
service is
now more affordable than high speed Internet access was when I
first
subscribed more than 10 years ago.
to use Straight Talk or most of the other prepaid services, it
is
necessary to unlock the phone. Unlocking usually requires jail
breaking, I understand. Even if it doesn't I would eventually
jailbreak anyway for the added flexibility. A friend told me
that
unlocked and jail broken phones are unstable with Voice Over. He
said
the places where one gestures or taps to initiate actions can
move or
change. These shifting locations he said can make it difficult
for a
blind person to use an unlocked phone. For this reason, he urges
blind
people to use contract service only.
has anyone else experienced this with unlocked or jailbroken
phones?
Is voice Over less responsive and precise in unlocked or jail
broken
configurations than an out of the box phone from a contract
provider?
I appreciate all the contributions people have made in the few
days I
have been on the list. I have learned so much already. I can't
wait
to get started on this adventure in independence.
