I upgraded to iOS11 last night and certainly shouldn't have done so. I
felt too tired and weary to battle with iTunes (my dreaded hate) so
decided to do without since I've never been locked out with the over the
air download.
It went well and I was back in successfully, having got rather bogged
down with all the prelimnaries and did in fact set up the UK Siri female
voice which was working OK for the short time I used it.
I decided to have another go at the Touch ID as I was setting up but
still didn't get more than a couple of prints accepted. (I never can!) I
gave it up and, very soon after this, came the problem!
I lost all speech (as I have several times lately) and *before* moving
to iOS11! I have always eventually got in after these occasions, but
sometimes it's taxed me when it comes to get VO to be turned on/off in
appropriate places and correctly and the odd wrestle with volumes also!
I have not been in a position to take my phone into the store and of
course couldn't choose to stop using it ...
I tried recovery mode eventually without success and so I moved to the
other computer in the house, installed iTunes and tried again! (Silly girl!)
This time my (still dead) iPhone 6 did sort of work in that it offered
to download my music from the phone to the new iTunes on the second
computer! Great! I thought that at least I'd have something I could use
to salvich some of the messs!
However, I still couldn't get any speech and, because I know I have to
just wait Apple's help to do anything further, I thought at the very
least I'd best check up just how many folk have wrestled with
intermittent and ever increasing voice loss even before iOS11?
In fact, it's probably best if you have that you go directly to Apple to
alert them, as I shall do just as soon as I have enough things sorted to
be able to do that!
Before you all offer suggestions as to how I might manage to get back
in, let me just say that I am pretty sure I have exhausted everyone for
one reason or another. In fact, I could well have made more progress if
the 4S had a sim installed so I could make calls, retrieve forgotten
information etc, but I'm not any good at changing sims so this must wait
at least until tomorrow and, again, my only reason for writing this was
not to expect anyone to be trying to find things I haven't done (or
can't anyway) but to suggest that all those who have experienced
anything like a part of this problem with VO dying should just let Apple
know about it before you crash also!
I am beginning to think that some of this iPhone stuff is just getting
too complicated for me now! Problem is, I can't do without it! <Smile>
Thanks to those who have read to the end!
