This just happened to me yesterday. I had done a triple click to turn off VO so I could tap on something in NetFlix, and when I tried to use triple click home to turn VO back on, the touch screen stopped working and I wasn't getting any output from VO.

I tried powering off the iPhone, but neither I nor my sighted wife could slide or double tap on the screen to power it off. I did a hard reset, and when it came back up, the triple click to turn VO wasn't working. I had to get my wife to go in and turn on VoiceOver, although I suppose I could have done this through iTunes on my PC.

If I've ever had to do a hard reset before on my iPhone, I don't recall it.

Hi,

This isn’t really an answer just curiosity on my part but, what is prompting 
you guys to do a hard reset anyway?  Is your device freezing?

Thanks.

I don’t think that’s going to work if you do a hard reset.  You have to set it 
back to the triple home click again.

I’ve found the same trouble, and ‘ve had to get someone with sight to put the 
voice over back again, and also, it doesn’t come back to the same voice you 
had, before the hard reset.

Subject: Hard resets and voice over

Hello all,
When resetting my iPhone using the hard reset (pressing the top button and the 
home button at the same time for a few seconds), many times the voice over 
function will not come back on.  I will then need sighted assistance to go 
through the settings menu to turn voice over back on.
Is there any way to avoid this, or is this simply a bug in the operating system?
Thank you,
Craig
