Hi,
I have an Asus tf700 tablet, and I am having a similar problem. I
loaded M.A. and turned off talk back. When I go to apps and choose any
app, I don't have any speech. Can anyone help?

It appears that you have MA and Talkback both running together.
To have MA work properly, there should only be one of the screen
reader active.
Now to correct everything, could you please do the following with
sighted assistance.
1. Turn off talkback off and restart your phone.
2. Turn on MA and make sure to select OK / Yes on the prompt to
activate Touch and Explore by MA. Remember there will be two
confirmation dialog, one for the activation of MA Screen Reader and
second for the activation of Touch and Explore.
Thanks
Mukesh

*Subject:*[MA] very disappointing experience with MA on Galaxy Nexus
Hello all,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which now runs Android 4.2
Jelly Bean. Most things on it are very accessible using Talkback, but
still I was glad when the new version of MA was released, because I
liked MA a lot on my old Galaxy Pro running 2.3. However, MA doesn't
work properly on my Nexus.
First, MA barely speaks outside of the suite of applications, which
makes it completely useless as a screen reader. Then, it doesn't react
correctly to touch gestures. Ma doesn't use accessibility focus like
Talkback does, which means you cannot always open or activate an item
by tapping anywhere on the screen once the item is selected. For
example, when I select somebody in the MA contacts app and then double
tap the screen, MA will not necessarily open the selected contact, but
rather a random one, I guess it is the one I tapped by coincidence.
And this happens in many of the MA apps. It was also very difficult to
edit a contact, because I could not activate the "save changes"
button. The button was spoken by MA, but when asking a sighted person
where it was, he said it was nowhere on the screen. Very weird.
Next, I don't have all the settings in the MA settings app. I can see
the phone settings like ringtone, notification sound and vibrate on
call. But the settings that are more specific to MA, like speech
settings, advanced and screen reader settings, are just not there.
This means I can't set things like which voice and call screens I want
to use, and volume buttons to accept and hang up calls.
I was curious to know if the calendar app now synchronizes correctly
with Google Calendar, but could not test this, because I could not
manage to enter a new event. Most of the time I did not know on which
edit field I was, and I couldn't find out how to enter the date and
time for the event.
If anybody could give me some tips or advice on how to use MA on a
touch-only phone running Android Jelly Bean, I would be most grateful.
But until then, I think I will stay with Talkback.
Kind Regards,
Miranda
