IPhone 5s with ios 8.2 - can't use touch function; must double tap each function key; can't shut down phone without a hard reset; every function results in a voice description even in silent mode.

I have a iPhone 5s and just installed the 8.0.2 ios. How do I stop getting audible descriptions of each action I take in silent mode? The Touch ID has ceased to function. The screen icons have to be double struck. I cannot scroll down past the first page of any screen. I must force a shut-down to turn the phone off.  How do I fix all these problems?

Hello Gubus 2,
It sounds as though (no pun intended) VoiceOver is enabled on your iPhone. Pressing the Home button quickly three times should turn this feature off. Further information can be found in the iPhone user guide at the link below.

  • I have a iphone 4s with ios 8.3 and I used to be able to sync only a week or two of emails from outlook email.  Now it won't let me do that and it syncs all my inbox.  How can I change it back to sync less.  I can't find the right place.

    I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available?  Any idea why that would be?

  • I've updated my iPhone 3gs with IOS 6 but being only 8GB it now has no space for data. Can I go back to IOS 5.1?

    I've updated my iPhone 3gs with IOS 6 but being only 8GB it now has no space for data!
    Can I restore back to IOS 5.1?

    It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone.  When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
    The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.

  • My iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 keeps crashing when the battery is only 45%.it goes dead then says the phone is dead,but when I plug in the charger it turns on instantly and the battery is 45%.please help someone!

    This is most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • Phone makes 3 audible alerts when i miss a call...even on silent mode?

    I got my Lumia 822 about a month ago, and I have noticed that when I miss a call, it makes three audible sounds. When I put my phone on silent, I want it to be completely silent. I've tried everything, including turning off ALL alerts, but it still makes the noise. Apparently I'm not the only one with this problem. Is there going to be a fix for the problem soon? If not, i'm going to have to return this thing.

    I was having similar problems, and if I remember correctly, I went into settings,, ease of access, and turned off the speech mode. I don't use speech dialing, so I can't say that affected that. With the speech turned off, I can still use the voice activated search features, though.

  • IPhone 6 with iOS 8.02 delayed reaction after touching a screen item

    I can select an item and it does not change immediately, so i press sit again and maybe again. Any thoughts on this?

    I have the same problem on my iPhone 6 plus!
    I took my phone to the genius bar today because my camera wasn't focusing, and when I got my phone back, after they replaced the camera, the touch id was not working at all. I can't even add new fingerprints, because it keeps saying it failed, yet it won't even let me try to add it. SO STRANGE! My reachability feature stopped working, too.
    Also, my wallpaper was blurry, try to reset it and it said it couldn't download the picture from my iCloud. There is also an update available, but I cannot download it because I get an error message.
    I tried all the same things you did, and it was to no avail.
    Going back to the genius bar tonight.

  • I have an iphone 3gs with iOS 6.1 in photos In have all my photos that are on my Mac now on my phone, which I do not want. How do I delete them.  I have tried Image capture, settings, general, usage and most of the tips on communities NOTHING WORKS!!

    I would like to decide what pictures I put on my phone and which ones to delete NOT APPLE. This as you can see has really annoyed me, if any APPLE employees read these posts I would like to know how to get rid of.  The Photo library and all of the folders made on iPhoto on my iMac, OFF MY iPhone.  Thank you

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • IPHONE 4 WITH IOS 5 KEEPS ON RESTARTING ITSELF.

    IPHONE 4 WITH IOS 5 KEEPS ON RESTARTING ITSELF. i have done restore several times but the problem still intact and phone does not charge when it is switched on and shows a full battery sign on battery but charges only when it is switched off.
    My father purchased it from Kuwait and i am using it in Pakistan where there is no authorised service available from APPLE.
    Is there any solution of it?
    how could i get it replaced?

    Hi.
    Not sure how well this would work, but it might be worth trying to put the phone into recovery mode. You will loose everything though, but should be able to restore stuff once it's working again if you have a recent backup.
    So,
    as per
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    try use a PC/Mac which has never been synced to your phone before, and has latest iTunes installed. Other option would be to create a new user account on your operating system temporarily for this which should hopefully give the same impression. Intention here is to force iTunes to download a fresh version of iOS 5, and to prevent it from trying to resotre your phone using an existing backup.
    This talks of pressing the home button only and plugging the USB cable in to force entry to dfu mode, but the method I use is as follows:
    firstly plug USB cable into computer with iTunes open
    power off by pushing and holding the power button and home button, holding both until the red slider appears, then KEEP holding for another 5 seconds (or so) until the sceen goes black, then release power button, but CONTINUE to hold home button.
    iTunes should (after about 10 secs) report that is has detected a phone in recovery mode, and asks you if you wish to restore
    say yes, and iTunse should then download a new copy of iOS 5 from apple if it cannot find an existing backup.
    this is about 700 meg or so in size, so may take a while depending on your connection.
    follow instructions to restore.
    good luck, and please let us know if it works
    Andy
    PS : just in case, home button is the one with the square on it on the front of the phone, and the power button is the one at the top right edge.

  • Iphone 4s with ios 8.1.1, imessage gets slower than ever, sometimes even deliver after 10 min, was not like this with the previous ios, how can I improve imessage sending time?

    Hi there skmonirul,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From what I gather, iMessages are taking longer than expected to send on your iPhone 4s. If you aren’t seeing issues with other apps, try restarting your iPhone as shown here: 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If the issue persists, try restoring your iPhone as shown in the article below.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    So long,

  • IPhone 4s with ios 6 shows full wifi signal but can't access to the internet while other idevice can

    Hi everyone,
    I updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 a few months ago and there was no problem until I change my sim card to other carriers last two days.  This second sim card is the same sim card that I used it earlier this year with no problem.  But the problem I face is when my iphone goes to sleep mode I realised that I can't receive any push notification from imessage, Whatsapp, and Line.  When the phone is awake the wifi signal is back and I have to go to each application in order to get the message.  I have tried the following methods but it didn't work: reset all network settings, restore as new iphone, push home and power button together, switch off my iphone, turn on airplane mode, and even change my router.  At the moment I have restored my iphone as new for the 5th times.
    Now the problem is worsen, after the phone is sleep for about 5 minutes and when I awake my iphone it shows the wifi signal.  But I can't access to the internet at all.  It shows no working internet on Whatsapp. Safari can't load any web page, the weather app can't update temperature etc.  I have to switch off and switch on wifi in setting menu so that I can use the internet. And when I leave my iphone four about 5 - 10 minuetes then the problem start again. While I can't access to the internet on my iphone 4s, I used my dad's iphone 4s with ios 5.0.1 and it works just fine with the internet. My laptop can also access to the internet with the same wifi network but not my iphone.
    Does anybody know what's going on with my iphone 4s? Is it the bug from IOS 6 or my iphone is broken? Please help me.
    Thank you.

    Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

    Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
    If that does not improve try a restore

  • My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    iOS 7 has many multiple tasks. You can save battery life to some extent by few steps. First go to location services and bettr 'Off' them which are not needed. (Ex. Notes.. Reminders.. Etc). Also you can off few apps in 'get notifications' centre. Also usage of 3g by any mobile consumes much battery life. Better to connect any Wi-fi

  • IPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!

    My iPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!
    I was getting this even on iOS 4.0, but under this OS, I can restart the phone, and in some cases, this problem goes away.
    However, under iOS 5, it simply wouldn't go to LANDSCAPE. Photos is not a worry, since I can just rotate this, but videos is now stuck on Portrait!
    Again, the PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING is NOT LOCKED! But it still wouldn't go to Landscape.
    Is this some sort of a "gyroscope" problem??
    O

    Sorry, but you are mistaken about both observations.
    You CAN DEFINITELY take photos in Landscape and you CAN DEFINITELY watch YouTube videos in PORTRAIT (just tried it now using my sister's working iPhone).
    Also, my CALCULATOR does not go to LANDSCAPE (i.e. from normal to Scientific) automatically.
    So I still think it could be a gyroscope problem...but I'm not 100% sure.

  • I have an iphone 5 with ios 6. I am trying to setup a new exchange email account. I need the backslash but it is not available. I can find it on other apps but not when trying to set up the mail account. (it is not on the  keyboard)

    I have an iphone 4s with ios 6. I am trying to setup a new exchange email account. I need the back slash but it does not show up on the keyboard. I know it is supposed to be on the +key (and is for other apps) but for some reason it is not available when setting up an email account. Is this on purpose or am I doing something wrong?

    I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
    Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data?  Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
    Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text.  Does your husband receive your imessage as a text?

  • How do I open additional tabs in Firefox Home? I can see the tabs screen but it's blank and I can't find a way of opening a page in a new tab. Using an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1.

    How can I open more than one tab in Firefox Home on an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1? I can access the tabs page but all the entries are blank and I can't find a way to open a new page in a new tab.

    That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.
