Did you try a triple home click? Mind you you can only do that if you set it to triple home click. You may Need to go to settings, general, accessibility and then voice over on turn it on. Sighted people I've found don't know much about voice over, and where to find it. I've had to tell the salesmen in the shops how to get it, so don't think that because this person is good technically, but she may not know where to find voice over at all. Well that's my two cents worth.-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of robert stigile Sent: Monday, 14 October 2013 3:44 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: I phone 5
Hello All, I am in need of some assistance if anyone can figure out what I can do, or I just may have to go to the apple store. Yesterday, my phone was sitting on a table, and I locked the phone and turned voiceover off, so it wouldn't make any noise in a meeting. I decided, it would be best to just turn the phone off so I did as usual pressing the power button until Siri said slide or double tap to turn off, and then I double tapped and it shut down. Later, when I turned the phone back on, it did not come up asking me to enter my pass code, but rather it didn't say anything. I pressed the home button and started swiping left and right and it would only say, help listen and the power battery level. I pressed the power button and the home button 5 times, and didn't help any. I later had a sighted person who knows a lot about technology and the I phone look at it, and she played with it for four hours and finally gave up. I can tell Siri to do things like call someone check messages and so forth, but to actually get to apps and things it will not let me do that. This afternoon, I got it to tell me that I needed to insert my pass code to unlock which I did enter, but it said it could not unlock the phone. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
