Re: [Mobile.AI] can one use touchscreen phone effectively atcrowdedplaces?
Hello Friends, After reading some of the mails in this thread, I wish to suggest an alternative way to handle the touch phone in crowd places. Bluetooth may be one among the options before us to consider. We can access basic features using blue tooth in android mobiles. Moreover, we can create some short cuts for important numbers in the home page. Thanks and regards, Janardhana Naidu.On 7/28/14, Sinoj wrote: > My experience with touch screen is good except dialing by holding and > dialing with the same hand.

Re: [Mobile.AI] can one use touchscreen phone effectively atcrowdedplaces?
My experience with touch screen is good except dialing by holding and dialing with the same hand. If my both hands are free, I can fully enjoy the touch phone. When compare to keypad phones, Finding items, using apps, scroling are more more easier than keypad phones. We have to press arrow keys many times to find an item from the list, but this is not the case in touch screen. If we know the position of the desired item, we can directly go to that areaa. Using headphone is good idea in a crowded area. For dialing with one hand, headphone is not a solution. because we have to use both hands to connect headset. if then we can dial by holding in one hand and touch with other hand, no need headset. For one hand dialing, I have recently updated DW dialer to get the latest feature i.e, dialing when lifting the finger. This is the feature I was waiting for. Now, I can dial numbers more efficiently with one hand. But when swiping through the keypad, unwanted numbers also get typed which is irritating. Most of us using Android 4.2 and above version, so they may not have such problems with the default dialer. But I am having 4.1 version. -Original Message- From: Satguru Rathi Sent: Monday, July 28, 2014 11:08 AM To: Dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobilephonesand Tabs.

Hi Satguru, I have changed the subject and we can discuss the matter here in this thread. I am using android moto g for quite some time now. The most difficulty I have faced with the device is that I am totally handicapped using my touchscreen phone at crowded places, such as at railway station, market, or if I am walking on the road. Suppose, if I am waiting for someone at railway station or at some busy streat, first of all I have to hold the phone with both hands, then have to swipe number of times to get the contact of person to whom I want to call. It seems very difficult specially when I am holding some luggage etc in my hand. Even to dial the number you have to find out the digit at the screen, than lift your finger, if some digit is entered wrongly, find the button to delete. More over sending text messages under these circumstances is very very difficult. Similar is the story when I am walking on the road and I just want to talk to somebody or to text anyperson, I will have to stand somewhere, find the number and then call or sms. Over all it is very cumbersome to use touchscreen device during such circumstances. My nokia n79 became malfunctioned last week, due to these problems which I faced, I got my nokia repaired, and I am very very happy with my Symbian. So my question is that how do you people deal with your touchscreen phone at such places? is there any difference between android and iPhone regarding using phone particularly at crowded places? is iPhone is more easy to handle? -- Mohib Anwar Rafel M.Phil 2011, LL.M 2013 Ph.D Candidate, at Jawaharl

inorder to prevent things from moving you have to turn off the screen rotation option in the accessability settings or talk back settings. this will help you to find buttons in a fixed place On 7/26/14, Shyam M.

Re: [Mobile.AI] can one use touchscreen phone effectively atcrowdedplaces?
Itt is not at all true that we Indians do not want to learn new things. It is also not true that we want to stick to old things. Those who are arguing in this way should remember that they are also Indians. Those who have mastered the new Android phones have gone far ahead and are not in a mood to understand that others are facing some genuin problems. I am trying my best to learn my Moto x phone but I am not getting proper training. Instead of criticizing others, the members who have mastered the Android phones should try to help others. My problem is that on the android phone, things keep moving and they have no fixed places. for example, it becomes very difficult to locate the More Options button. Unless your queries are solved, you cannot learn this phone on your own. further, many of the buttons are not labled. at least Android should have taken care of this point. Professor Shyam M.
