I got the raise to wake turned off just now, I believe.
I vaguely remembered the practice area, but thanks for reminding me of it. I have four years of experience with iPhones, having been a veteran of the 5S. Another list member addressed the sensitivity problem; I don’t think the zomm she talked about would apply to me as a total. I hope this change will take care of the principal issue, though. I am being prompted to finish setting up my iPhone, and I’m not sure what it’s asking for exactly. I had found four years ago when I bought the last phone that I assumed the A. T. & T. store had registered it with Apple and only found later they hadn’t. I suppose that could be an issue but I also nknow I have more features available now than the 5S hardware allowed even though they were showing up in the operating system.

One of the options on that screen is Raise to Wake. If you turn it off, your phone won't talk when you move it around if the screen is locked. As for making gestures you don't intend, I would suggest going to Settings, choosing General, then Accessibility, then VoiceOver. On that screen is an option called VoiceOver Practice. If you double-tap that, you open a screen where you can try out the various gestures. VoiceOver will tell you which gesture it thinks you performed and what that gesture does. Once you get familiar with the gestures, you're less likely to perform ones you didn't intend. there's a done button in the upper right corner of the screen that you can use to stop practicing. I hope that helps. Best, Anna On May 17, 2018, at 7:30 PM, Bill Outman <[email protected]> wrote: Hello. I’m having a couple issues with my new 8 Plus. When I jiggle or bump it even slightly, the phone speaks, which can be disconcerting to those around me if I’m in a group of people, such as at church. Also, the touch seems very sensitive to the slightest tap, for instance, when I hit the home button, sometimes the phone opens a program such as Music, which I am not meaning to open at that time. What do I need to adjust, and where do I find those settings. Bill Outman -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
