It doesn't work with a Microsoft outlook account. Maybe just gmail.

I have one question about what you said, "A few things I found out is that a 3 finger swipe to the right will hide the options like insert photo, format, etc where they appear just above the keyboard. You probably have to be at the first item which I think is format to do this since you are swiping to the right. Is this in Emails? I cannot get this to work at all. Swiping with three fingers just makes the sound that means you cannot swipe further in that direction.

A tentative hardware issue was ruled out by a cursory test by Yes Computers here in town, and AA said they did not take phones back unless visibly cracked, etc, I was told to restore the phone and set it up as new once more. I did this 4 or so days ago, and immediately noticed a change. I wonder why restoring the phone to it's factory default did not occur to me earlier, or was not suggested on any of the calls I made to AA. No problem though, I feel lucky to have them there on call, even if the wait times are often over ten minutes. I spoke with a tech specialist/supervisor who tested all the things I still had questions about using her own phone with gmail, voice over, messages, and Facebook, and this sped the process along. Rather than screen sharing, since I was very familiar with settings and the specific nature of problems I was having, she tested functions and was able to say that this was a still existing bug, or that she had the same result, so that was affirming. The call had been scheduled in advance so she was prepared to deal with the phone before resetting it, and she was gracious enough to spend the time to clarify those few remaining questions I had. A few things I found out is that a 3 finger swipe to the right will hide the options like insert photo, format, etc where they appear just above the keyboard. You probably have to be at the first item which I think is format to do this since you are swiping to the right. To unhide them you would swipe left from the last item. This used to drive me crazy and it seemed that with these new options visible above the keypad/keyboard, I had to be far more precise about where I touched on the screen before one or another of these options interrupted my carrying on with typing. As for the predictive text and auto correct being turned off, well, there is no way to get rid of them altogether. The problem is that while either typing or dictating for instance, the words put in are rarely what I want, so that still involves having to edit out the unwanted words. Finally, my settings are tweaked right now so that I have no pitch changes that do not involve things like capital letters or language changes. As for the roter not staying where you last left it, such as in messages, that has been well documented, and maybe the overall function of the roter will be better sometime down the line. It's predictable I think in that it moves to the previous item so if you want to wind up back on character or word rather than something else, then make sure you check the order in which things have been selected in the roter. Overall the new phone may serve me well over time, but I still prefer the lighter feel and slimmer thickness of the older models of phones and I still prefer a mechanical home button. Having no home button might not be so hard for me to navigate so if I need another phone at some point, I might look for a phone without any home button at all, meaning one that has nothing differentiated by any perceptible tactile outline. Contrary to what some others have said, I don't find this phone particularly fast or responsive, especially around touching the home button to get back to the home screen or to use Siri, but what the heck. I'm done fretting. I've got 2 working phones so unless both act up at the same time, at least I will have a backup. Much of my data for Apps like Voice Dream Writer and I can't think what else now, is on my old 6 which is pretty much defunct since the battery won't hold a charge for long. Everything came over via gmail like Notes and contacts and mail and messages so that is good. One new plus is that in years past ear buds and earphones gave me pain in my ears. I can now use the earbuds with my phone when moving about outdoors and I can withstand doing that for up to half an hour before my inner ear starts to hurt. I've avoided using any wired or bluetooth ear piece for that reason but at least I can now be hands free of the phone when necessary for short periods of time at least. If I need to take a call when walking down the street, if I choose to do that, it's much easier hitting the button on the earpiece than it is having to dig the phone out of wherever it is. The last of what needs setting up is the Bluetooth keyboard. It is still not paired with either of my phones. Each time I see someone it's not a good time to ask them to look at it, make sure the batteries are in right, a light is on, and to tell me what those two buttons on the far right say. All this might be the only instance in which I could say that I'm content with the "new normal." Deidre -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
