Hi,
Customised Jelly Bean is bad. You'll probably find Talkback isn't even in the
ROM and you'll have to download it from the Play Store.
All the best

Hi Steve.
It runs a customised version of Android Jellybean, if it ran stock android then
I’d probably know from my previous experimentations with Android how to enable
speech, you make a rectangle on the screen don't you? Running from edge to
edge? This phone also has three soft keys at the bottom so the experience is
probably going to be different if only slightly compared to using the Nexus.
All the best and thank you for your help.

Hi,
Do you know what version of Android it runs on?
In any event, go into Settings with sighted help, then Accessibility, then tap
Talkback if it is there and simply turn it on. You'll land in the Talkback
tutorial.
if it isn't there, again with sighted help, go to Google Play Store and
download Tlakback, it is free.
it will be there if you are on Android 4.0 or above. If you are on 4.0, youre
experience won't be so nice as if you were on 4.1 or higher.
All the best
Steve

Hi Everyone.
For you Android experts, i have an EE Kestrel phone which was given to me as
part of an upgrade offer, my interest mainly was in the price plan so they gave
me the cheapest phone they had in their catalogue. I no very little about
Android, however this phone is based on the Huawei Ascend G6 and has a
proprietary interface. I have two questions, firstly can accessibility be
enabled on this phone in the form of talkback, if so how, and secondly has
anyone had experience of the Huawei interface, does it work with talkback well
and is there anything I can do about it if not?
All the best, Ibrahim.
