ok, I am getting sick of people blaming CF all the time. ok sure, it takes them a while to respond, and can you blame them some times? people wine and complain so much! let me try saying this another way. now, I don't know wair I read this, so don't quote me on this, maybe it was the eyes-free list, however, I have read that when they came out with gingerbread 2.3 android removed the capability of using volume keys, and the camera button as answer and hang up buttons. I know this because someone that used to use a program that made there camera button an answer button no longer can use it after there phone updated to 2.3. so I state again, people. please either learn how to get around things, or just go buy an i-phone like the rest of the blind comunity, and suffer some of its faults. all phones have there faults. nothing is perfect.

Last summer, we thought it was just an issue with HTC phones, but we now know that it goes much deeper. I have an LG enlighten, which I love, but I cannot answer or reject calls using the volume keys. Dan is right, why should we have to swipe to answer a call when the phone is locked but have to find the answer button when the phone is in use. It was easy for Code Factory to lay blame with just one manufacturer, but clearly this is not the case, and now we all know that. Hopefully, a new version of Mobile Accessibility is coming soon that addresses all these issues. Of course, even if this is so, we'll never know this, because Code Factory never tells us anything.On 11/10/2011 2:36 PM, Dusty Tague wrote: > It is not just code factory at fault, it is android for allowing > fragmentation to occur making this a problem.
