Android Day One: How do I go home?
The phone arrives, and I unbox and turn it on.

@fastfinge in reading this entry, yes you can turn off things like raise to wake, and touch to wake. I have mine set that way as I absolutely hate my phone waking up that easy. as far as the notifications. that is the one thing I personally think apple got right. there are a couple other things that are the same on android, like answering a call, you can use the two finger double tap to answer, and ending the call as well. the two finger double tap can also pause your music too in most apps if I am not mistaken. if you have questions. you can ask, and as long as I know the answers, I will help you as much as I can.

@JamminJerry My biggest struggle right now is that explore by touch just completely stops working every 30 minutes or so. I have to lock the phone and unlock it again to make it start working. It’s infuriating. I can’t even type when it happens because only flick works. That and talk back is just! So! Slow! 1.5 seconds to scroll a list. Lag when typing. Etc. I thought Google tts was the issue, so I switched to espeak. No change. Voiceover is faster on my iPhone 8. What can I do to make talk back actually responsive? Because this is killing me.

@fastfinge I don't ever have issues with the explore by touch not working like that. that is just crazy! I mean ok, I have the 9 pro XL and yours is the 9A, but there shouldn't be that much of a difference.

@JamminJerry I’m not sure what’s up, swipe works fine. I could even swipe my way through the keyboard if I wanted. But explore by touch just quits and stops responding.
