OK thanks. I am 100% positive that I had been able to do the double tap on the lock screen to pause and play. I had actually been experimenting with that to try and explain it to someone who was saying they couldn't do that. While I was experimenting, my battery was getting low, so I plugged it into my computer. At some point, the phone seemed to have locked and I couldn't revive it. I just waited as I was doing a few other things. Eventually, it started talking again. Then I was surprised as I knew that someone had sent me a text, but I hadn't received it, so I rebooted the phone. At that point, more experimentation showed that double tapping on the lock screen no longer worked.
However, it wasn not an audible app update that broke it as while playing around with the phone, I noticed that I had one update available, and it was for the audible app. Which I proceeded to download. Now, I have figured out the control center thingee, but found that, at least with the audible app, I have to actually flick to the pause button to pause it. The two finger double tap does not appear to work. It does, as long as the app is open, and the screen is unlocked. Oh well, it was good for the short time it lasted. I think I had heard that there was a security problem with apps that you can use from the lock screen, so possibly they plugged some hole that broke this particular functionality. Thanks guys. Learning a lot in a short period of time, but obviously have a lot more to learn. On 10/19/13, David Chittenden <[email protected]> wrote: > Correct, when in the lock screen, inter the control panel.
