Dear Ibrahim, I bought a Hua wei ascend y300 in January basically because it was cheap and recommended as good value by an Italian consumer magazine. The bad news. There was no way I could get it talking unaided because talkback was not installed. Once my daughter had done this for me it was also necessary to turn on "explore by touch" in Settings, accessibility, talkback, settings - explore by touch is one of the last of the settings). This means that the phone will tell you what's on the screen when you touch it, you have to open it with two taps. The better news. Since it's my first touch screen phone it has been quite challenging but I can now do most of what I want including using it for Skype and Audible. Kindle I have yet to master properly but I haven't had much time recently. Audible is considerably easier on the ap than on the internet and the speaker quality is surprisingly good. Memory is very limited but it takes an SD card and the 16 Gb I bought in London only cost about £12. Battery life is nothing special but I'm told that that might be to do with having Skype installed. It also takes a while to sort itself out sometimes (slow processor?). Mine has Android 4.1 installed without any prospect of it being updated apparently but as I said, it does the basics and a few extras and only cost £81 including post and packing so I'm not complaining.

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. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
