I think there is a timing limit. However, with both the Ipad 3 and the iPhone 5, VO can be brought back with the tripple-click of the home key. I got an iPad 3 and out of the box the tripple-click worked. I then tried it with the iPhone 5 and this was also the case. No longer is sighted help or a computer connection necessary. This seems to now be built in by default. I like it!

So, is there any particular pattern to reproducing the problem? FOr example, rebooting repeatedly (within a period of time) such as maybe every five minutes for 10 times etc.? Perhaps rebooting the phone more than once a week? Also, is there any particular app that has caused the condition which necessitated a reboot? I am curious if there is in fact some pattern or application that may be the cause for the loss of speech etc. when the phone is rebooted using this technique. > > On Oct 9, 2012, at 5:27 AM, David Chittenden <dchitten...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I have now lost VO one time using this technique out of seven times I have used the technique on my iPhone 5. In addition to losing VO, my braille display would not connect after I started VO with iTunes. Also, VO was set to factory defaults. I had to do another power home reboot before the braille display drivers would load properly again. This is a fascinating little bug. >> >> David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA >> Email: dchitten...@gmail.com >> Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> On 09/10/2012, at 22:09, Scott Howell <scottn3...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> I have to agree I have not lost VO as a result of using this reset technique. >>> >>> On Oct 9, 2012, at 12:05 AM, Katey Glass <katey...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> I have used holding the power button and home button to reset the iPhone and iPad many times and I havne't lost VO ever. Maybe reset is not the proper phrase as we are not technically resetting any settings, but rather just clearing out memory "cobwebs" on the phone or pad. >>>> >>>> At any rate, I have indeed held both power button and home button and waited 10 seconds an d the device comes back talking. >>>> >>>> Katey >>>> >>>> On Oct 8, 2012, at 9:42 PM, "Kathy Blackburn" <kblac...@austin.rr.com> wrote: >>>> >>>>> I wrote to accessibil...@apple.com and was told that the hard re-set, holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time, does indeed result in loss of VoiceOver and does so by design. In order to get VoiceOver back, you must either get sighted help or connect the phone to a computer and re-enable VoiceOver using iTunes. Moral of story: power off only by holding down sleep/wake until the slider appears and then double-tap. >>>>> >>>>> Kathy Blackburn >>>>> kblac...@austin.rr.com >>>>> -- >>>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >>>>> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/. >>>>> To post to this group, send email to viphone@googlegroups.com. >>>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >>>>> >>>>> >>>> >>>> -- >>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >>>> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/. >>>> To post to this group, send email to viphone@googlegroups.com. >>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >>>> >>>> >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >>> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/. >>> To post to this group, send email to viphone@googlegroups.com. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >>> >>> >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. >> To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/. >> To post to this group, send email to viphone@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. >> >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. > To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/. > To post to this group, send email to viphone@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
