[Electronics-Talk] Help Android double-tap

[Tracy Carcione]

The device is a MotoG.  I'm afraid to move away from the app I'm in, because
I won't be able to get back, so I can't find out the Android version.
It's very frustrating.  I swipe until I find the button I want, then I
double-tap, and nothing happens.  I've tried tapping slow and tapping fast,
tapping hard or soft, tapping with the very tip of my finger or with the fat
part, tapping close to the button or on various parts of the screen, and
nothing works.  I'd think the phone was broken, but the cable guy was able
to do it, so that's not the answer.  I really don't know what to try.  Why
is this simple thing so impossible?

I'm not sure I understand the issue, but the double tap works in Android
pretty much the same way it does in IOS. Swipe or explore until you hear
what you want to activate and then double tap anywhere on the screen. 
Different versions of Android and different devices may have slightly
different sensitivities, so you may want to experiment with a harder tap or
a quicker tap, but I've never had a problem getting used to this on a
different Android device.
