Hi,
I already told you where you can go with questions <Smile>.
Subscribe to the Eyes-Free list, send a blank message to
eyes-free+subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
As for Mobile Accessibility you don't need it with the S3 Mini as Talkback
is sufficiently good.
When you are on a call, look near the bottom lefthand side of the screen,
you will hear a button that says Keypad, make sure it is ticked. If it
isn't, double tap it. This will bring up the keypad, then you can double
tap keys to enter numbers.
Talkback should be on 3.3. If you don't have the latest version, it will
ask you to update it eventually. Just search for it on Play store.
Finally, to speak passwords, go into Settings, Accessibility or Language and
Input, go to Text to Speech Output, go to Talkback on, then Talkback
settings. One of the settings is speak passwords. Turn it on, or if you
don't want it to speak all the time, leave it off and plug in a headset. It
will always speak them if a headset is plugged in.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] More android help please
Hi listers
I'm having real trouble getting started with my new touch screen
phone, at the moment I'gve gone gback to my n86. Can anyone help me
get started.
I have a few questions.
1. Will mobile speak work on my s3 mini. I read that it needs to
have a track ball or the like.
2. Ive tried creating a google account to get onto the playstore.
After trying for a number of times I still come to a full stop when I
have to create a password, it just won't read out what I am entering.
Any suggestions on settings?
3. I'm having problems when calling a number that has automatic
selections like press 1 for bla and press 2 for bla bla. There
doesn't seem to be any keypad to use for input. Again any suggestions
on settings?
4. How do you find out the version of talk-back, and if I'm not on
the latest version how can I update it. Is it on the playstation site?
5. Do I need an interface on my PC when I connect the phone to it,
something like the nokia pc suite?
Once I get up and running, well walking would do I'll probably have
more questions so is there a site where I can browse for these simple
getting started questions.
Thanks for those who have already responded to a couple of my earlier
posts. I'm getting really cheesed off with this new phone,
frustrating isn't the word.
