Alvin,
Actually, the paddle switch does not switch between ring and vibrate. My
phone will both ring and vibrate in the "ON" position and vibrate only in
the "OFF" position.
Look in the sounds dialog some more. You should be able to find where you
can turn on vibration. If not there, then look at the phone dialog and see
if that is where you can enable. It's been way too long since I played with
that setting.

Hi Stephen
Thanks for the info.
What you have said makes a bit more sense to me on what's been happening. :)
I thought I remembered reading about a switch above the volume buttons for
vibrate/ringer, but I can't find it.
Maybe it's because I have an ottervox case over it. :)
I'll look again, or have my mother look at it for me to make sure.
Thanks again and God bless!
Alvin

From what I recall, you need to move the phone a way from your head. This
iwll cause it to switch to speaker phone. Then using two fingers, double tap
the screen to hang up a call.
To turn off the ring tone and to get the phone to vibrate! There is a switch
above the volume buttons you need to flip it towards the back of the phone.
This will then turn off the ringer and switch it to vibrate.

HI:
Are you familiar with the finger taps? You need to know these in order to
do a lot of these functions.
For example turning the phone off you have to two finger double tap in the
center of the screen
To turn the curtain on and off you have to three finger triple tap.
You can go to setting
general
accessible
voice over
voice over practice
to get a handle on these
There is alsot he Look tell tutorial you can download.
You have to have the phone app open to get tot he number pad
I don't usually use the phone to cll automatic number..use a land line but
there is a way to do it but is cumbersome
Do you know about applevis.com??
There is a lot of useful information on there
Also, I can maybe send you some more stuff..I am not an expert but know a
little
Also, some people use a blue tooth keyboard to do a lot of this stuff...I
just do not but have one and keep saying I will get to it.
The phone is very useful for a lot of stuff...so stick with it..
it takes a while but you can do it.
HTH

Subject: [BlindMobileTech] General questions about iPhone 4S
Hi list
It's Alvin. I am still getting use to using my iPhone 4S.
Some of the few situations I have been encountering are below.
I have been trying to figure out how to hang up the phone.
I usually find myself waiting for the other person to hang up first for
the phone call to end. :)
It seems that I can't gain access to the keypad by touching the screen in
order to end the call. Is there some special button I have to press first?
Also, how do I turn the phone on vibrate? The only thing I have found is
the sounds setting section that allows me to turn down the ringer's volume.
Is this it, or is there another way?
Also How do you deal with the automated service calls?
The one where they ask you to press 1 for this or press 2 for that. :)
I couldn't gain access to the screen to select one of the various options.
One more question:
I haven't had this happen yet, but how would I switch over to another
incoming call while speaking to someone?
I believe I have figured out how to turn on the speaker. I have
accidentally hit the home button in the midst of a phone call in ended up on
speaker phone. :)
Well any info and assistance will be greatly appreciated.
In the meantime, I'll go and take another browse through the manual to see
if there something I missed. :)
God bless!
