Re: [Mobile.AI] android dual sim mobile

2012-11-25 Thread Srikanth Kanuri
thanks for that would try. really don't know about quick launch
feature would take a look on it.

1. would the quick launch feature work on the full touch phones also?
if so what would be the default key there.

2. had anyone tried the Samsung galaxy s duos with ICS on it? if so
can anyone give a feedback on its accessibility?

 1 till 2.3 at least the problem of inaccessible ikons does exist. no doubt
 about that. However, I prefer using the quick launch feature under
 application settings where you can define at least 27 shortcuts for apps and
 can activate these apps by pressing the search key in conjunction with
 letters A to Z and the zero key. this is definitely the fastest way of
 opening the apps. 5512 thankfully has this search key as a dedicated
 hardware button. one can also use eyes-free shell for various purposes i.e
 opening apps, using calling shortcuts, opening different settings menus,
 toggling various features like bluetooth, wifi etc.
  2 for disconnecting calls you can enable the option under the accessibility
 settings. the lock key can then be used for disconnecting calls.  you can
 also use apps like shakeCall for managing calling functions.  3. see point
 no. 1
 4. no need to use samsung apps as there are better alternatives available.

 non-customized versions are definitely preferable, but nexus is beyond most
 people's reach. another handset micromax super canvas 2 a110 has stock
 version but no report so far about the performance of micromax.

 hi, the optical movement is fine but i find the following disadvantages,

 1. i couldn't access the parts of the home screen, the apps like phone
 Etc. could be accessed only from home screen only. is there any
 alternative please let me know on this. many Icons on home screen are
 not accessible and talk back reports blank in many circumstances.

 2. i couldn't find a way to end call using talk back. this could be
 possible as far as my knowledge is concerned only through touch
 interface and talk back couldn't be used with touch in version 2.3.

 3. even in menu, while navigating through apps talk back often reports
 blank and unlabeled apps.


 4. many native apps of Samsung are clearly inaccessible.

 as you are aware, the problem with customizations had been that, many
 parts of phone are becoming inaccessible. yes all major companies are
 customizing the native Android but i prefer phones like Nexus versions
 for faster updates and better performance though there exists no
 physical navigation.

 these are my findings only and others may have different experience.
 please update me if i am wrong.

 Actually, there are couple of my friends who are very satisfied with
 this
 phone. One has to get used to the optical dPad. As far as customisation
 is
 concerned, it can hardly be avoided since good companies like samsung
 and
 sony do customise their phones.

 unfortunately galaxy y pro duos runs on Version 2.3 and my father uses
 it. i happen to test its accessibility and i find it to be worse.
 generally i would not suggest any phone with android customizations.

 Hello, One such phone has been samsung galaxy y pro duo b5512 but
 unfortunately it is most ly out of stock now. This phone is pretty
 nice
 except for the fact that it has low internal memory. Although having a
 physical qwerty is a preferable option, it does restrict our choices
 serverely. In the near future we will have to adjust to touch screen
 only
 phones and we will have to use external keyboards for heavy texting.
 please
 also note that android has strong voice recognition capabilities.
