Glad you worked it out. The phone will vibrate once when you flip the switch to muted, whether it is locked or not. If locked, it will do nothing at all when you un-mute it; if unlocked, VoiceOver will say "unmated". Remember: when the switch is nearer the screen, the phone is not muted, when it is nearer the back panel, it is muted. On Jul 19, 2014, at 3:07 PM, [email protected] wrote:
