Hi All,
I just got my Galaxy S3 back from having the screen fixed.
I found a repair place on eBay called DeviceJack.
They were very reasonable.
Now, I have the phone, and it is talking with TalkBack, and I get a message 
that tells me
no simm card, emergency calls only.
Maybe I'm too used to the IOS way, but I flick one way or the other until I 
hear that message again, and I double-tap somewhere on the screen, and by 
the time I do that, it often locks the screen, or it acts like I am on the 
home screen, so I flick around, and I find things like Google, email, phone, 
messages, and the incorrect time and date.
It keeps saying
double-tap and swipe, so I do that and I can flick around some more, and a 
closing door sound happens, and I have to press the right button again to do 
all this again.
In all my flicking, I have not been able to find settings.
I need to set it to not lock the screen, and I need to set the time and 
date, and I need to know how to get rid of that no simm card message.
I think then I can look into this list of gestures to see what I can use.
I'm not sure which version of Android comes with the Galaxy S3, and I don't 
know if it can be upgraded.
Thanks for any help.
