Gallegos Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 7:54 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Two-finger double-tap Re: I have a few questions Hi, one suggestion I have for this situation is to try and use the index and middle finger. This might mean shaping them into a print V so they are a bit separated from each other. You can make a fist with only these two fingers extended. Now, making sure your fingertips touch the screen at the same time, lightly tap the screen twice in rapid succession. Maybe this will help. -- Raul A.
