Sieghard, I get this exact behavior with my iPhone 5, iOS 6.1 of the phone
constantly announcing call duration. It seems worse when I am using my
earpods but the phone being locked seems to contribute to the problem.
Like
you, I don't know why VoiceOver is not set to go quiet during a call or at
least to only talk for certain events that might occur. Announcing call
duration should not be one of them.
Good luck with your new phone.

Subject: Voiceover announces call duration, was: iPhone 4 keeps constantly
switching to and from speaker phone
Hi Raul,
I am one of these people who has a 4S which keeps announcing the call
duration all the time. I will try this recommendation to take the phone
away
from my ear and to touch the end button, but what seems to happen with my
4S
is that even if I move focus away from the call duration, after a while
Voiceover says "Screen Locked" and then within 30 or so seconds after that
Voiceover continues to read out the call duration every 20 seconds. There
is
of course also the issue everybody has that Voiceover will read out
incoming
push notifications, text messages or anything else you have set to read in
the lock screen and I just feel Apple should make Voiceover shut up
altogether when a call is in progress. After all, if I hear something has
happened, e.g. a text message or email came in or a push notification, I
can
always take the phone while I am on the call and manually review it if I
feel I need to know immediately.
I am also getting a replacement 4S in a couple of days and it will be
interesting to know if I am going to have the same problem and whether I
am
going to be once again able to balance Voiceover volume and call volume so
I
can use the keypad properly when a call is on speakerphone. Right now I am
simply not able to make Voiceover loud enough to hear it reliably in this
situation even if I turn Voiceover up all the way to 100% by using volume
on
the rotor and as soon as I try to turn down the call volume with the
volume
buttons Voiceover also goes down.
I am getting a replacement phone because in the last few weeks I was
suddenly unable to scan a single barcode with Digit Eyes. I finally asked
one of my employees to try it and he said the image on the screen was all
blurry and the camera didn't focus. He tried to just use the stock camera
app and especially when I tried to take a picture of something close up
Voiceover would say Auto Focus as it does, but visually the camera
wouldn't
focus. I did a full factory reset setting the phone up as a new device and
even with nothing else installed the problem persisted, I called Apple and
since I fortunately decided to buy Apple Care and my phone still has
warranty until November they immediately said they would send out a
replacement. I am supposed to get it by Monday. It's the usual good Apple
service and it's nice to get a new phone after almost a year and a half,
yes, I know it maybe a refurbished phone, but I was actually told that it
"could" be a refurbished phone but is not necessarily one and even if it
is,
I was assured that it would, for example, have a brandnew battery which is
of considerable value.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi, this is a great suggestion and it works for me and the people I've
mentioned it to. However some are still reporting that even that fails
to silence VO while they are on a call. I don't get it.

Guys,
I've discovered that if while on a call, I can stop VO from announcing
information such as the elapsed time of the call by taking the phone away
from my ear and tapping one time toward the bottom of the screen on the
End
button. After that there is no interruption. Give that a try.

Hi Susan,
Yes, my 4S also reads out the call duration every 20 seconds or so. It
doesn't matter if I move focus away from this, eventually the screen
locks,
then if I continue to talk after about 20 or 30 seconds it resumes
reading
the time. I can only hope Apple will implement better handling of this in
iOS 7, as far as I am concerned Voiceover should not say a thing by
itself
if I am on a call. I know a bunch of people said to just use a 3-finger
double tap to mute speech altogether, but while this may be a
work-around,
it does not address the issue. In any case, if I am out and about and
have
my iPhone in it's belt case under a jacket or an inside pocket, I
basically
have to stop, tell my dog to wait, then dig out the phone and do all
this.
Regards,
Sieghard

I've had similar issues. Good luck. I also have an issue with mine
calling
out the elapsed time on the calls. This is so very annoying.
Does yours do that?

Where is this sensor located? Thanks for all the advice. I think it
may
be
a hardware problem :(. I will try taking the case off first. I do
have a case on there but it is a minimal case. It's a very simple
one. I mainly have it on there for the antenna gate issue. :)
