How about just plugging in your earbuds when you want to enter a passcode that you want to be private. Its kind of the same issue as when placing a phone call where everyone can hear the number you are dialing if you don't have earbuds on. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cristobal To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2012 7:58 PM Subject: iPhone Passcode query
Hello list, So after a long time not getting around to it, I finally set a passcode on my iPhone (4S). Anyway, that wasn't the problem, but now of course, when I unlock my phone and am prompted to enter in my four digit code, VO announces what I'm typing. This kind of defeats the purpose. At home it's not an issue, but when I'm out and about or around people whoever they may be, what's the point since my code is announced to anyone keen enough to hear? I know that Apple just couldn't have had VoiceOver say star, star, star, star or asterisc, asterisc, asterisc, asterisc for every number we press since we would then have no idea if we're pressing the right key combination or not. My question is if there's in fact some other means to protect our four digit code from being announced in a way where it's not broadcasted to the four winds whenever we wish to unlock our device? I poke around the settings and didn't find anything if there was anything at all. I guess enabling a dial pad feature to recreate the tones when making a call could be a solution, but those tones are so subtle, it really takes a trained ear to differentiate them from one another. Anyway, just thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a better solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
