This did not work on my Galaxy S3 after it was set to factory defaults. I also tried drawing the rectangle, but that did not work. I tried holding and I also tried tapping the home key first, and then two fingers, and then the rectangle, each time after the home key, and without the home key. My Galaxy S3 is running 4.1.2.

There is a way of starting Talkback when the phone reboots, but I can only remember it dimly. It's something like you put two fingers slightly apart on the centre of the screen, wait for a couple of seconds until Talkback speaks and then move your fingers apart. But, hopefully, someone else on the list will give you a clearer description. I just wanted to assure you that it is possible. Best wishes, Brian. -----Original Message----- From: vi-android-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vi-android-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrea Sherry Sent: 07 October 2014 04:50 To: V I Android Subject: [vi-android] Starting Talkback I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 which has been reset to factory defaults.
