@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 do get what you mean that voiceover is more responsive. I use the alix voice, and even that 900 meg voice is still more responsive than anything on android. yes eloquence, ESpeak, vocalizer, and things like that are more responsive than the google tts any day, but eloquence you can't even get or put on more modorn phones sadly. but I mean, I could record a demo for you to show you that my stuff isn't even that slow when I do things. that is just crazy!
@fastfinge here is the thing. even though mine is the pro xl, there shouldn't be that much difference. not like what you are explaining. hell! I could even get out my pixel 8, and do the same shit if you wanted, just so you can hear it.
@fastfinge you could try that to see if that fixes it. if that doesn't fix the screen freezing, I almost wonder if the screen is messed up or something? I could ask the blind android users telegram group if anyone has seen that before, and I bet it would be a resounding no. lol.
@fastfinge as far as why would flicking/swipping and double tapping work? I really don't know. I just like to think of all things. check the stupid as they say.
