I live in America and am on Mint Mobile. I am totally blind and use an external keyboard. I own a Galaxy A15, and while it works well, it's simply too large and wide for my needs, especially when I need to hold it to use Seeing AI (for scanning printed materials). My specifications shouldn't be too difficult to find, and yet, they are.

Android 14 or 15. Technically, I can go as low as 12, but I would really rather not.
Upgradable if possible.
Comes with Talkback pre-installed (or able to have someone install it). I have also heard of MicroG, an alternative to Google services that allows such apps to be installed, so that could work as well.
No larger than the iPhone SE 2022, unless by a tiny amount. Smaller is fine.
Headphone jack.

I am considering the Jelly Max, the Fonepia Q10, and the Minimal Phone. Has anyone here tried any of these in the United States? I don't think the Max has a headphone jack, but as much as I want one, I would be willing to sacrifice it if necessary. I know almost nothing about the Q10. The Minimal contains a real qwerty keyboard, so I wouldn't need to carry one. I don't care what they do with the screen, since I can't see it.

Am I missing any other good phones? I would like to keep this undder $350 at the most, preferably under $300 (Minimal might cost more, but could be worth it).

Please boost for reach, for any OnePlus users or staff:

I wrote a review of my OnePlus 13 on OnePlus' community site. If you're a member there, please like it to show support for the accessibility issues I brought up. I'd really like to get these fixed, since this is a powerful phone that's got Google's TalkBack, not Samsung's moldy fork, and is great overall, besides the accessibility issues. I'd love to be able to recommend this phone as an all-around great phone for blind people.

I've been using #OrganicMaps on #Android as replacement for Google Maps.

So far so good.

The only complaints are that I sometimes need traffic because I live in a traffic hell and the map data often does not include a business, in particular, that I'm heading to...

So I made an account at #OpenStreetMaps and started adding the missing businesses I find.

It is a stupid easy way for you to contribute to an open project. You should try it. Help round out the data where you live!

***Attention! If you miss MSN/Windows Live Messenger, AIM, and/or ICQ, this is for you! If you use a screen reader and want a 100% accessible messenger client, this is also for you.*
This works with Windows XPthrough 11, and I'm logged into it as I write! It's called Escargot, and it revives Windows Live/MSN Messenger. This is the original software, but it has been patched so that it connects to the escargot.chat server and not the Microsoft one. It is 100% free and accessible with NVDA and I'm sure JAWS as well. They also have projects for AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) and ICQ, including for Android and IOS, and are working on a web client for MSN. (I don't know if AIM or ICQ are accessible with screen readers, as I have never tried them). Anyway, if you're over twenty-one (my personal request), have read my profile here, and wish to add me, I am dandylover1@escargot.chat. You can find everything here.

escargot.chat

Note: If you already have Windows Live/MSN Messenger on your system, you will still need to download their version and create an account. Your Microsoft, MSN, or Hotmail one won't work for signing in. Also, remember to click on RUN_AFTER_INSTALL.exe, in order to patch the program to the Escargot server.

Hey #fedihelp,

I'm struggling with an #Android #widget issue, and I was wondering if anyone had any clue.

Basically: I have a widget with a grid of items. I want the items in the grid to stick to a certain aspect ratio, regardless of the widget width. The height should dynamically adjust so it always stays that aspect ratio. Normally I would use a ConstraintLayout, but that doesn't seem supported on widgets and I cannot find any good alternative.

Code here: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

Thank you!

From the BrailleNote mailing list, about BrailleNote updates:

I'm not a HumanWare employee but was also there and can get this started and they can come in and verify.

They started with the first Braillenote Touch that had android. They went thru the entire Google certification process to allow it to have all the google services like google play store. This certification allowed them to update its Android OS to a certain point. To go any farther they had to have a device certified for the new version. They tried to certify the first braillenote touch for the new android OS but google will not allow recertification of a already certified device. This is where Braillenote touch plus comes to play. They created a new model and got it certified for the new version of android OS. Braillenote touch plus has now again gotten to the limit of its android OS updates. Human ware said the process of certifying a device of extensive and the cost was extremely high for the low number of devices they sell. They said there will be new devices to continue the segment with, but they can't talk about those right now. They said they're not just stopping the braillenote touch plus and that's it! They're working on finding a valid solution for the high cost of google certification for a new device. Rather that's Linux, windows, uncertified android, etc.

The Monarch has an uncredited android which is not a bad or wrong thing to do, this just means it doesn't have the google services like play store.

I hope this helps everyone understand where they are with this and that it's a google stupidity thing not a HumanWare thing.

#GrapheneOS is already based on #Android 16. They also deliver security fixes more quickly than Google itself.

Switching to GrapheneOS was the best phone-related decision I've made in years. I hope phones will be available for it in future. I just can't imagine going back to mainstream options that force you to choose between privacy and user freedom.
