JackieThat thing where it flicks to speaker phone mode during a call, can be a handy feature, but also very annoying. Someone told me it is because there is a sensor built in to detect when you take the handset away from your ear, so it switches to speaker phone without you having to do it. So if you move the phone at all from the correct position this can happen, and this is when it is frustrating. Seems like there is a perfect position to hold the handset during calls, but move at all and you know what happens!
Personally, I would prefer having to press a button to put it on speaker phone. Would avoid this problem and it's not a major chore, is it?

It's not as easy as it sounds, and I keep cheating with the keyboard which isn't really helping me in the long run. I like it, and I'm determined to persevere, but it's very different from Nokia handsets, and there are one or two things that irritate me. Firstly, if you are speaking to someone on the phone and a text message comes in, you get your jingle, then VoiceOver reading out the message. Now if someone is having a conversation with you, they can't hear that, but you can, and it's bloody annoying. It also tends to jump into speaker or hands free mode during my conversations, and I'm not sure why it does that. I'm sure I'll get to like it, but I'm not a wild convert at the moment, though think it was the right thing to do regarding O2.

Jackie, I didn't see your question about voice mail, but if you need to switch on and off in O2, 1750 switches on and 1760 switches off, I think. I haven't used them myself for ages but did write them down so give them a try. Thanks Ed. Now we all know how to answer Jackie's calls and I'm getting more keen as I realise I could probably manage the phone too if I wanted. -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Edward Green" <edward@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 6:32 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: New iPhone questions, please?
Hi Jackie, Apologies if someone has answered your questions already, but I haven't seen a reply. To delete a contact, open it, and double tap on edit. Then flick with three fingers to the right. Your iPhone should say something like "rows 3 to 8 of 8". The delete contact option should have appeared after "add field". If for some reason flicking with three fingers to the right doesn't work initially, flick with one finger until you're a little further down the list of fields already visible. You'll see that you already have some options to delete different numbers without doing the 3-fingered flick, but this will leave you with a blank contact unless you use the delete contact option. There are a couple of ways to answer calls. You can either do a 2-fingered double tap which is the quickest if you are comfortable with the gesture. If not though, then you can use the standard flick right or left with one finger gestures to navigate the screen. You will see a "slide to answer" option. Double tapping on this (with one finger) will also answer the call. This sounds longer but, as I say, you may find you're able to accomplish it quickly enough if the 2-fingered double tap is giving you problems. I'm afraid I don't know how to turn the voicemail off on o2. Could it be somewhere in the message settings when you ring the 901 number? Alternatively, are you able to change either there or on the phone itself how long it takes for the voicemail to kick in? You could always lengthen this interval if so. Hope this helps.

Well, all the contacts are in now, but I have a few questions please? 1. How do I remove an unwanted contact? 2. What does one do to delete read or unwanted messages to be discarded? 3. I'm still having finger gesture problems, so don't always manage to answer the phone until Voicemail kicks in. As I'm on O2, what is the number to turn Voicemail off. I know it is 901 to dial it. Getting there, but finding it a bit frustrating at times. For example, I don't like the way a text message alert will sound when you are talking to someone on the phone, and VoiceOver reads out the text message you have just received. Is there a way of stopping it? Thanks for your help as ever.
