I understand about Siri and VO volume. However, when on a call, is there a way to change the volume of notifications so they do not interrupt the call? I always turn off VO during a call, but truly it is those FB and other notifications that drive me crazy. :)

If you want to adjust the volume for Voiceover, I suggest you start Voiceover speaking continuously, then use the up or down volume buttons to raise or lower Voiceover volume. I usually do this by doing a 2-finger swipe up on the screen which starts reading the entire screen at the top and this way Voiceover speaks long enough so I can adjust the volume easily. I also have volume in my rotor, not sure why you took it out again because it sometimes comes in handy. For example, if I am listening to a book or music and I want to change Voiceover volume, I can turn the rotor to volume and do so without having to stop whatever is playing on my iPhone. The adjustments are in 5% increments if you flick up or down. I have my Voiceover volume mostly at between 40% and 70% depending on how much noise is around me. A few people mentioned that they accidently turned the volume to 0 because they forgot to turn the rotor away from volume and then by flicking down the volume got lowered all the way. I can't really see how this happens because even if it's only set to 40% it takes 7 or 8 swipes before it's all the way at 0 and as I am swiping I hear it getting quieter and quieter and I imagine one should clue in at that point. Volume for SIRI works the same way, if you want to turn SIRI's volume up or down, just ask something which makes SIRI answer with a longer sentence, then as SIRI is speaking, use the volume buttons. I think Apple has done this very cleverly, you can adjust a few things like the ringer volume and Voiceover volume with independent controls if you like, otherwise the volume buttons adjust whichever volume you want when it is active. To me this makes sense, if I am on a phone call and I want to turn up the volume so I can hear the other person better, I want only that volume to go up, not that of Voiceover, system sounds, SIRI, the ringer etc. Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Teresa Cochran Sent: Friday, August 09, 2013 7:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Volume Buttons as "Master Volume" For Adjusting Everything at once? Hi, all, I'm really confused about how the volume buttons work. I have ringer alerts set to be adjusted with them. I also have taken VO volume out of the rotor. However, it seems these things adjust themselves independently of each other. I'd like to make the volume buttons function as a 'master volume" control without messing up all the various levels. I haven't seen a toggle for using VO volume with the buttons, but maybe i'm missing something. I'm using an iPod Touch 5 with IOS 6, latest version. Can someone help me cl ear this up? thanks, teresa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing [email protected].
