Hello,
Sorry a bit late on to this as just saw this thread. Just to add to what was
already said. In order to use touch tones while on call, make sure the 'dial
pad box is ticked. As for putting the phone on speaker, my personal
suggestion is to install an app called up sound down. This app can get an
Android device to act as an IOS device in the sense that you can move the
phone away from your ear and it'll automatically set it to speaker therefore
automated phone services such as voicemail can be used easier. App can be
also set to get the phone on speaker when shaken. You can find this app here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lionebra.upsounddown&hl=en
You do need to set up the app initially, go in to it's setting and set
parameters such as whether you want app to be activated by moving the phone
away from your ear or shaking it, but once it's set up it'll function
automatically every time you're on a call, unless o f course you disable it.
Regarding your question about caller ID and talkback, sadly, to my knowledge
there is no way of changing this, unless turning the ringtone down. It would
be nice if the ringtone would get faded down for a few seconds while
TalkBack is speaking the caller ID, but sadly I don't think it's possible.
If you have any other question orr need any other help at all please feel
free to contact on or off the list.

Hi. There is a easy to use launcher called Big Launcher which acts as your
homescreen. The Google keyboard that you have is the best around in my
opinion. You just need to be patient and try not to compare it to IOS as
this will cause you to struggle long term. You can set the power key to
reject calls in accessibility settings as I had done this on the Samsung S4.
I only have the Nexus 7 Tablet now so I can't check if this feature is
available on your phone but I'm sure it will be as I did once own a Moto G
before moving on to Samsung. My reason for going back to the iPhone was
because of BlindSquare GPS but I regularly use my Android tablet as well.
