@ratking i’m having a weird talkback issue, and I have confirmed it as a talkback issue because it doesn’t happen with prudence. My double taps are behaving in the weirdest manner possible. In order to get a double tap to register, I have to hold in for a second or so on the second tap.
@ratking i’m thinking it’s something I’ve changed, but I don’t know how I changed it or where it is to fix it. I know there’s nothing wrong with the device because as I said, another screen reader doesn’t do that. Talk back itself didn’t even do that while I was setting it up yesterday.
@evilcookies98@ratking One reason I went away from android. All dependent on carrier and region. And here everything is too late. Also Google does not sell their phones here. But Apple has a better update policy than all of them anyway, and it is releasing on a global scale, not regionally or whenever the carrier decides to wake up and approve it. Updates should be global, not depend on stupid things like that. Not to mention, I was$upposed to receive security updates every 6 months, I received them once a year.
@ratking@evilcookies98 in my own personal opinion, Android sucks. I have somehow, no problems with Apple for now. Except killing my own language switcher, but that amuses me more than annoying me for some odd reason. Maybe I should upgrade my phone too. It'll be fun.
@spacedragon@ratking I get basically the same functionality with the lookout app. My only slight gripe with that app is that the product identification is limited to food. I’m hoping they expand it very soon.
@ratking@evilcookies98 I wonder if she could go to apps, find talkback in the list, and tell it remove user data, and hopefully that would fix it? it would put all her settings back to default, but it should at least fix the issue she is having.
@ppatel it showed up after I’ve went through all the headache to unlock the stupid boot loader because the flash tool didn’t wanna run without it. That could’ve been the fault of my crummy computer.
@spaciath it’s not showing in my over the air menu, so I’m going to have to do it the long and slightly frightening way. I want to get it done while I’m still in the mood to install updates.
@evilcookies98 Been on it for weeks and its good, you get separate ring and notification volumes, and you can change the shortcuts on the lock screen, and those are the highlights from what I can tell.
@dhamlinmusic i’m nervous about having to use the flashing tool. That’s the main thing. I’ve never done that before and it kind of freaks me out a little.
@evilcookies98 Yeah so the above should be what you do, flashing the update is something people on the Pixel subreddit do because you can get them before they roll out through a carrier or because its faster, but definitely not required, once the phone is active on your carrier it should start looking for updates.
@evilcookies98 DOWNLOADS via wifi if it can, but the carriers approve the rollout because of network compatibility concerns, all the US carriers have rolled it out at this point.
@evilcookies98 Yeah this does not matter with them, it is just the network level that is concerned, Tmobile was the last to approve A14 for rollout which meant Mint/Fi/TMobile all got the update together last week.
@evilcookies98 That sounds like a tmobile thing, they have done that a lot but either way you should not have to flash the updates and I have no idea why anything would suggest that.
