Hi Richard, Thanks you for these good tips... Unfortunately trying these tricks did not solve the particular problem I am having, but it is good advice for when this phone is actually working properly.
I guess I'm off to the Apple Store for attempt #3 at getting this fixed! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2013 10:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: The Square root of IOS7 I've seen things where a symbol or two is read very oddly, but nothing like what you are describing. Have you checked what the wall paper is in your settings? It almost sounds like you have some geometric pattern that is confusing VoiceOver. Also, in settings, general, accessibility, try turning on reduce motion, which stops the new feature of having the background animated. For any low-vision users out there, I saw a tip about taking a picture of something black like the side of a filing cabinet and then making that picture your wall paper to improve the contrast. Or, I suppose if one prefers a light background, taking a picture of a blank sheet of paper would do the same thing. HTH, Richard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of BrianMiller Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2013 7:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: The Square root of IOS7 All, I continue to have serious problems with my iPhone 5 since I upgraded mine and my wife's phones to IOS7... The screen appears to be littered with long strings of symbols, starting with "square root" repeated about a hundred times, then a long series of other nonsensical symbols. This happens when I flick around the screen, or go to the top of bottom of the screen... I get this square root thing... If I flick back and forth a bit, it then reads me the line I'm looking for, but only with some effort. This is very intrusive and renders the phone almost useless. I've been to the Apple Store twice now, and fully restored my phone and set it up as a new phone... And still I have this issue. I will go back again to the Apple Store for the third time, but I wanted to see if anyone else out there has experienced this... Is this just the new landscape of IOS? Do I have to put up with all this garbage in order to interact with my screen? Or is there just something wrong with my specific phone... Any feedback on this issue would be very much appreciated as this situation is extremely frustrating. It reminds me of how fragile our spiffy technology is, and how dependent we are on it when we lose it. Thank you so much.
