Saqib, the two-finger trick only works if the phone is new. If someon'e used it
without accessibility being turmned on, they'd have to use the menus. At least
that's my understanding. It wouldn't be hard for Google to amke all this better
than it is, I'm sure.

I'm not really convinced with that mehtod of turning accessibility on. I tried
a friend/s Samsung S3 Mini from the setup screen and it didn't do anything. I
tried to get my daughter to turn Talkback on her S3 Mini and kept on getting a
error message about setting the right language when the phone was purchased
here in the UK. This is why people just don't trust the Android OS because it
doesn't do what it says on the tin I'm afraid. Another example is when I bought
a tablet and Talk back would read what I was touching and then it would cut out
and read nothing. I mean how bloody shabby is that. I'm honestly trying to give
Android the benefit of doubt put these incidents don't help a jot. Large
propotion of people turn to IOS because it's trusted and Voiceover is well
polished. Another words it does what it says on the tin. I would love to
promote Android as well as IOS but how can I recommend something that just
never works as it should!
