[nabs-l] calling all android users, please!

[Beth Taurasi via nabs-l]

That's ok.  I've heard of Eyes Free, and I'm going to look in to 
resources.  Thanks, Alysssa, for your help.  Robin, I thought Ice 
Cream Sandwich had the answer feature.

Hello. I'm not an android user but I have a couple resources you 
can use. I know somewhere there is an android accessibility list. 
Search for eyes free. Eyes free also has a web site. I would be 
careful talking to sales reps. Many of them don't understand the 
accessibility features. I've personally found iPhones to be more 
blind friendly, but that's just my opinion. I hope this is 
somewhat helpful anyway.

 To ANSWER Call (on Android)
 Place a Finger on the TouchScreen until you HEAR TalkBack (TB) 
ANNOUCE "SLIDE Right To ANSWER" & simply Slide to the Right 
without lifting your Finger off the TouchScreen, and that should 
allow you to ANSWER providing you are using an Android running at 
Least Android KitKat (4.4 or Higher).

 To ENTER DIGITS while on a CALL, you must be on SpeakerPhone, 
and make sure the DialPad IS Checked to allow you to ENTER 
DIGITS, which you should HEAR a sound similar to the sound you 
HEAR when you ENTER DIGITS on a LandLine TelePhone.
 (simply LIFT your Finger when you HEAR the DIGIT you want to 
ENTER)

 As for scrolling, you simply move your Finger down to HEAR Items 
within the List, and use 2 Fingers...from the bottom of the 
TouchScreen and slowly Slide them upward to HEAR more items (if 
available within the List) This is quite difficult for me to do, 
but I haven't practiced it very much either.

 To LEARN TalkBack (TB) gestures
 Go into Recent Apps, Select Settings, then Select Accessibility, 
then Select TalkBack, then Scroll to the Bottom to Practice the 
various TalkBack Gestures IN the Android TalkBack Tutorial

 I HOPE this Helps

 If NOT, I suggest you GO to your Mobile Provider, and Work 
alongside a Tech/SalesPerson

 Dear Nabs-Sters,
 I just got a smartphone.  Yes, I swear I got a smartphone.  But 
there are a few quesftions I have about it:
 1. How do you answer a call with an android ZTE Prelude?  That's 
the one I got.
 2. How do you scroll down?
 3. How do you press numbers while the call is on and how do you 
know they're pressed?  I don't have a voicemail set up.
 Thank you all, and email me off list if you'd like.
