Re: 2 Android questions

Well, the stream charger has little teeth on the end that
goes into it, and the one for my cell phone does too. The
RCA Galileo Pro tablet charger has a round connector that
fits into the tablet on the left side as you use it with the
keyboard in landscape mode. If you do not attach the
keyboard, you have it upright in the portrait mode, and the
power cord fits into the top, as does also the headset.

Incidentally, on Android, you have the option to set the
screen to where it will not automatically, as I would guess
that you do on Apple. I told my husband the first time or
two with the iPhone or the Kindle when it switched to just
give the device a quick turn, and it would right itself.
He's always been good with electronic stuff and taught
electronics in community college. I have learned new stuff
from the lists and then shared with him.

Best from,

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
This all sounds great, and I can't thank you enough for all
the information you have provided! That is just what I was
thinking if it would be possible to switch the chargers. I
have a Victor Stream as well, but the charger on mine is
quite large, so I know mine wouldn't be interchangeable. My
Victor Stream is the very first one that came out, matter of
fact, I don't even remember the full name other than it is a
Victor Stream Reader.

It has that same connecting with the charger. The part that
connects into the tablet looks different than the one that
plugs into my cell phone, which looks like the Victor Stream
one. I would not trade them out though to see if they are
interchangeable, but they look alike.

Best from,

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
If you are asking me this, yes, I do use the cable that came
with the charger, but I didn't know if I could do that on a
tablet. I have an iOS iPhone 6, so I just wasn't for sure.

Don't you do that by using your cable with the charger
removed from it?

Best from,

Carolyn

Yes. Most tablets have a USB port so you can transfer files
by connecting it directly to your computer.

Josh,
I don't have a drop box account, but I'm sure I can create
one if need be.
Is there a usb port on the tablets?
Thank you thank you!

yes you can. the easiest way is to use dropbox to sink your
files between the computer and the tablet.

yes you need to add to your wishlist before downloading to
the tablet.
thats just how it works. you can let your computer turned
off and just
do all the wishlist adding and downloading using the
tablet itself.

I will need a new login and password to use with the

I

Do I really need to add to my wish list before I can
download to the
tablet?

you get a login and password from your library service,
then you log
in
with
the app. you add books you want to download to the
wishlist, then you
go
to
the wish list and download them using the tablet. its
quite easy and
the
app
has all features you know and love from your nls player,
some things
don't
work with physical keyboard and you have to find the
buttons and
double
tap
them. but its fine. nls put big easily findable buttons
in their apps.

this problem
with my Victor Reader?

I also think I will send my nls book player back to the
library,
because I just use my tablet and android phone to listen
to nls bard
books now, and it works very good.

about Android
is that it is very flexible. You can get all kind of

I
probably know
less about it than anyone, so Olusegun and Joshua can
fill
you in more
on what all it can do for you.

James, Android can be fun! It will be a brand-new
learning curve, but
I know you can weather the storm and become a better
guru
than I at
it!

If it's possible, grab a book by one of my dear
sisters,
Ana Garza and
Jim Meddaugh! It's titled Getting Started with Android
and is
available from the National Braille Press in various
formats. This
book can and will help you GET YOUR FEET on the Android
side of
things.

Also, please plan on coming to Android with an
open-mind!
It's not iOS, and I don't see the lines of demarcation
getting erased
anytime soon.

Please also consider joining the eyes-free mailing list
on
GoogleGroups; here, you will meet a lot of
knowledgeable
folks who can
help you faster than I can. Be aware that sometimes
tempers do flare,
but if, like me, can ignore some of the cacophony,
you'll
become a
teacher and senior apostle of Android before I put my
shoes on to
begin running!

To subscribe, please send a blank message to:

eyes-free+subscribe@googlegroups.com

Also on the list, Talkback developers lurk. They
answer
questions and
provide helpful tips. Talkback is independent of the
OS;
as such, no
need waiting for an OS upgrade in order to get one for
Talkback.
Talkback 6 is currently in the beta cycle.

I hope the foregoing is helpful in some shape or form.
Arigatōgozaimashita!


Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
