Hi David,
NZ??? I thought you were in California.
I haven’t had any problems with fingertaps other than that one call.
But your point about how I hold the phone makes a lot of sense. I’ll
pay atention when I make some practice calls later today, and let you
know. Thanks for the suggestion.
So, are you going to get one when they come out in NZ?
Cheers,
Donna

voicemail
Hello Donna,
I do not yet have an IPhone. They will not become available in NZ for
another week. That said, I have worked as an ergonomic assessment
advisor and an Assistive Technology teacher/trainer for people with
various and multiple disabilities. I have a few thoughts about your
problems with hanging up and your phone not switching to speaker phone.
When you hold your IPhone to your ear and then take it away from your
ear, how do you have your hand around your phone? If you are mainly
holding the phone in the palm of your hand with your fingers wrapping
around on to the screen, you could be confusing the touch sensor in to
interpreting the phone still being against your face. If this is the
case, it would not be able to interpret any taps or gestures.
Do you have any problems anywhere else with two or three finger double
or tripple taps? If there is delay between the fingers tapping, the
sensor could be interpreting a touch then tap (split tap (where you
select with one finger and tap with another finger)), or if your
fingers are too close together, it could be interpreting one finger
double or tripple tap.
Again, as I do not yet have an IPhone, I am unable to test these
gesture-related factors. I hope you are able to resolve your
difficulties, and if you do figure out what has been occurring for
you, please let me know so I can incorporate the knowledge in to my
assessing and training (if necessary).

Donna,
Did you write to accessibility at Apple about this problem?

You know, one Patricck mentioned is that the End Call button becomes
the focus when you're transferred to voicemail. I wonder if that
changes at the point that you actually begin speaking to leave a
message.

I've tried it quite a bit and sometimes it works and sometimes it
does
not work. What I have found is that if I can flick through the phone
and hear the end call button, then double tap works.

You might want to try it several times with a phone call that you can
practice on if there is one. Not at all meaning to be contradictory
but the double tap with two fingers should work. I know it took a few
tries for me to get used to this and I still have to do it twice
sometimes. Be careful though; a couple of times I've accidentally
done
three fingers and cut off speech though it's a toggle so I was able
to
turn speech back on with three fingers double tap again.
