Android day Four: Equality Achieved
Unfortunately, this morning I woke up to an unhappy surprise when I picked up my phone: Android had disabled full access for Jieshuo. Again. Why does this keep happening? It's possible to get it back on without sighted help, but it's still massively annoying. If the Android customizability is going to count as an advantage for the OS, the customizations you make really do need to stick for more than about 48 hours at a time. If I had had a medical emergency in the middle of the night, and picked up my phone to call for help, I'd have been utterly out of luck. Fiddling to get the screen reader back takes about ten minutes. In an actual life and death emergency, that's way too long to be survivable.
Android Days two and three: There has to be a way to make this better
On Day two with my android phone, I started bright and early, determined to move a bunch of accounts over and set up my apps. I got my email set up, Reddit logged in, and...after about two hours, I knew I had to find a better way if Android was going to be viable for my use cases.
Android Day One: How do I go home?
In spite of my Google payment problems, my new Pixel 9A arrived late in the day yesterday. Unfortunately, I had a dinner to get to, and some shopping to accomplish, so I didn't get to spend the entire evening with the phone.
