Hi, list.
I wanted to remind everyone of the importance of cleaning the phone surface from time to time. I had a scary experience yesterday. After listening to a podcast in the native app, something I have had some enjoyable experiences with for the first time this weekend, I couldn't make the phone respond correctly. I couldn't go to the next podcast I was interested in or close the app. I couldn't get to the home screen with my touch I. dD. or unlock the phone with my pass code, which scared me for fear of erroring it too many times and wiping out the phone. My swipes were not being responded to quickly or at all no matter how firm I made them. Well I tried some actions with Hey Siri hoping I could get somewhere, and had trouble It misunderstood me and played a song II hadn't requested, then thought I was asking about Home Kit as sometimes it doesn't understand my voice well, and then opened Maps and started a route I didn't need, and I couldn't get it stopped. What I thought might have happened was that I had inadvertently activated Zoom, which magnifys the screen, as the strange behavior seemed like what you get when both that and VoiceOver are running. So I needed to pay my cell bill as it was due yesterday and I had planned to do so through the A. T. & T. app, but of course I couldn't get there with the phone not responding correctly, and I was home alone after church. I took a cab to the nearby store and made my payment in person and had the phone looked at. The representative cleaned it and everything was back to normal, he canceled the mMaps route that had been speaking during the cab ride, and I was able to close Podcasts. I was able to do thing normally on the phone after that. Bill Outman -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
