Iphone 5s on iOS 8 stuck in accessibility voice over mode

Not actually a question, but more of a solution!!!
I went to my local Indian restaurant earlier and his phone was stuck in Accessibility mode. Having come home, and fiddling around with Settings > Accessibility > Voice Over, I accidentally turned voice over on, and the same problem persisted with me.
Firstly, a message came on my screen to ask whether or not I wanted to confirm, and if I wanted to cancel - press the home screen button. Having pressed the home screen button, the message stayed on the screen and the voice over kept repeating itself.
I then tried to restart my phone (Home and lock) but then I was just stuck within my lock screen and couldn't input my password.
To fix:
Double tap the home button to get onto your password lock screen.
Click the first digit of your password so the voice over repeats the number. Then double click the number again. - this should register.
Repeat the process until all digits have registered (it may take some perseverance). Your phone should unlock once all digits have registered.
Click settings (until it repeats the word) and then double click. You will notice, trying to scroll down that you are unable to. Turn your phone onto Aeroplane mode (you should have got the gist of how to select things and turn things on/off by now).
Once your phone is in aeroplane, click accessibility and then voice over, and once turned off your phone will work fine.

Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
Hope that helps!

Safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

Hi Apple,
iphone 5s latest updates , safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

Hi,
If you are absolutely sure that neither the sound output of the Macbook nor the sound output of VoiceOver are muted then try to reset VoiceOver.
1. Open VoiceOver Preferences.
2. From the File menu choose "Reset All VoiceOver Preferences …".
3. Click "Reset.
4. Turn VoiceOver Off and On again. (hold command and press F5 twice).
If you still don't hear anything then it could be that the main sound output of the Macbook got muted somehow. I find that I often hit the mute button on my Apple wireless keyboard without noticing. So just make sure that its not muted and also hit the "Volume Up" a few times. Its so terribly obvious I know but its also very easy to miss. Lots of people do that.

How do I enter passcode in voice over mode?

Hi, Don't know I did it, but I activated voice over mode on Ipad 1. Now can;t enter passcode. Any help appreciated.

Touch or tap the field that you want to use/select and it should get a box around it ; then double-tap that field to activate/type it. Once you've entered your password you can do the same (i.e. touch to select, double-tap to activate) to gradually get into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off.

IPod nano and Voice Over mode problems

The iPod Nano keeps going into Voice Over mode despite it being in the "Off" position under settings. Am I doing something to override the settings and how can I get it to stop?

you may have enable voice over set in the iTunes settings
to turn it off do the following
-connect ipod to computer
-when ipod shows up in the left column of iTunes under "devices" click on the ipod name
-in the summary page, scroll down to the bottom of the page until you get to a section that says "options"
-under options deselect the checkbox next to "enable voice over"
-click apply and that should turn it off
hope this helps:)

Voice Control Accessibility Voice Over

What a USELESS feature!!!
If you turn it on it is SO hard to turn it off! It took some Googling to findout how to disable it. And much swearing.
If this is supposed to help visually impaired uses then God help them.
Nice idea - awful implementation.

Reading the iPhone iOS4 User Guide would also help.

HT201412 iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 randomly enters recovery mode

Since two weeks ago my phone started behaving badly just before the new update was released.
While locked it happens that it enters recovery mode (iTunes says that, while another software I downloaed to try to force it out says it is on "soft DFU mode") and won't exit it for hours: indeed after a bunch of time I'm able to turn it back to functioning by pressing the Home Button and the Power Button in random sequences (when I mean random, I mean random: it doesn't just wake up following either the 'exit recovery mode' or 'exit dfu mode').
I restored it, yet the same still happens. It is now, basically, an unpredictable piece of junk metal.
Any ideas?
Notes: it is not jailbroken nor it has ever been, the software is up to date.

Try restoring as a NEW device (not from a backup) to see if it works properly.

My Nano suddenly went into voice over mode and I cannot make it stop.

It started reading menus and options when I turned it on recently; I didn't go near any setup screens. It talks even after I've selected and started to listen to a pod cast. It will start over again in the middle of the pod cast for no apparent reason. I've already tried restoring factor settings.

#1:Open Properties
#2: Click compatibility
#3: Click change settings for all users
#4: Under settings click all of the boxes except the first one.
That's how I got it to work
