I would suggest following the instructions I gave to see if you some how have "change with buttons" turned on. It would explain the weird things you described. As I said in my message, the button is a toggle and it will announce it's status as either on or off. I recommend it be off but before you do that if it got turned on to adjust your volume settings before turning "change with buttons" off or alternatively, you could go into settings, general, reset, and choose "reset all settings" This will restore your phone to the factory defaults. Sadly enough you would then have to change many of your settings to the way you like them which would be in my opinion like using a pile driver to push in a thumb tack so the best way in my opinion would be to adjust your volume settings before you turn off "change settings with buttons" first.

I have a problem with some times when I pick up my iphone, and somehow I've touched something, and next thing it says speech off, well first up I tapped, slapped, swiped, slid, and everything else you care to name, but it took ages for the speech to come back on again, so I triple clicked and turned voice over on again, but is there an easier way? I don't mind doing the triple click, but why is it so easy to touch the screen, and speech goes off, without you Knowing what part of the screen that caused it to say speech off.

Double tap it with 1 finger to toggle on and off. When it's off, the up/down buttons on the side of your iPhone only control the master volume. So, you can try it either way and live with it awhile either way and see which one you like better. When I first got my iPhone over 2 years ago, I had set it to change with buttons because somebody told me it was easier for the blind to use that way. Not knowing the difference and this being my first iPhone, I did as instructed. I too experienced problems with things being turned down or up and then not knowing to change it and wound up spending more time being frustrated then anything else. I by then had forgotten about "change with buttons" By accident around a year or so ago I came across it again and thought, change what? Then I heard the voice over tip and turned it off. No more problems with strange volume changes. So you can turn down the master volume at night so you can hear your phone and not wake up the rest of the house! I did find a way to fix that though. I bought an iPhone for my wife! Now she can't say anything cause she does it too! Problem solved! <grin> Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

I used to have mine on mute, but well I forgot to take it off, and missed some calls. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Paganelli Sent: Saturday, 3 August 2013 7:12 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: no voiceover If you take the volume out of the rotor, you won't have that to deal with. I use to have issues with that and then I found in the settings, change volume with buttons and disabled it. Then all the up/down buttons on your iPhone only control the master volume instead. With change with buttons turned on, you can get yourself into all kinds of trouble. For example, that clicking sound you hear. When your moving your finger around and no text is there and you then use the up or down volume controls on the side of your iPhone, you'll adjust the sound of those clicks because they are what has focus at the time. So then you move on to something else and there you are wondering why your iPhone no longer makes that clicking sound. Sometimes, I don't want to hear that and I found that if I turn off the mute switch, my iPhone quits making that clicking sound which is useful for when I'm on the phone and it's saying press 3 for this and 4 for that and 5 to maybe speak to a live person if we can find one.

Anything, even a change from English to British English is better than no noise at all. LOL Lisa I may have had an encounter with the ugly stick, but the whole tree is after you!
