HI,
This just happened to me for the first time since the upgrade to 6. i have
reset before with no problems. I discovered that voiceover was turned on but
triple click home was off . I had to tturn triple click home to VO before all
was well again. I should say that although I do have a Braille keyboard paired
to the phone, I did not have it turned on at the time, indeed, i have not used
it since the upgrade. So, I don't think that the Braille keyboard is the issue.
Strange that it has not happened in previous resets though. Also, I note that
all my settings under VO were set back to the defaults. i had, for example,
"Large text" turned on, but this was off after the reset. So I am thinking this
is a bug relating to the triple click being automatically set to on for VO
rather than anything else. not sure now, but think that when I first looked in
settings/general/Accessibility/Voiceover Vo was still turned on, but it was not
working, as if it had been triple clicked to off, because the voice was not
only missing, but touching the screen worked in the way it does when VO is off,
I.E. touching an item enabled it and double tapping did nothing.
Sorry for the messy thoughts, here is my conclusion, it is a problem with
the Triple Click Home being disabled after a reset.
Sandy.
