• Sonim XP3

anonymousflipphone Agreed that It can make some problems but people are very quick to accuse them even when it’s not their fault. They are phones that start out junk and whatever you do to them is not gonna make it any worse take it to Kazuna for example it’s horrible as it is. people will run and blame the tag but that doesn’t really hold any water.... All I am saying is that people should do their research before blaming them. I am not defending them in any way shape or form.

    I haven't tried stratego or the new waze, you still can use waze with the waze launcher, you just won't be able to report cops, everything else can be done with voice access/ switchboard. Voice acces should work, it's much easier to get it to work on the XP3 than on the exalt, you dont need any special commands, just install and when asked give accessibility permission. all other settings (which button etc.) can be set through regular settings

      TAG filters different phones in different ways, some slow it down more that others. The Exalt/Kyocera have a livingent admin app always running, although most people don't claim to have a lag from that, the main issue people seem to have is with phones running KaiOS, which are really slow in the first place, TAG replaces the system with one of their own which was modified not to have a browser, which seems to make it even slower. In any case, its not comparable to simply removing a pre-installed app.

        Wait techgen, you were able to get voice access working on the sonim xp3800 flip phone?? I ran into errors...

          anonymousflipphone Yes, you can use an official version, or the one from kosherappsforflip (kyocera) but the one from apps4flip needs to be signed before it can be used on the Sonim Xp3

            shloimy First you have to enable usb debugging, every phone has a different way, on the xp3 you type *#*#2387#*#* on the xp5 it might be the same or press the build number 7 times to get to developer options and enable usb debugging. Then get the apk you want to install, and install it using adb (it can't be installed just by clicking on it on the phone)

                thanks techgen for the info! would you be able to guide me in installing voice access from kosherappsforflip?
                and do you think the other apps from kosherapps, kyocera version, would work on the sonim xp3?

                  anonymousflipphone All apps from kosherappsforflip should work on the XP3 (and most from apps4flip) you install voice access the same as you would any other app, and when you open it it will tell you to enable it in accesability settings. then use the app settings to take the annoying blue button off the screen, and set your own key to activate it.

                    when you say "you install voice access the same as you would any other app"-you mean apps4flip method of installing any other app? Or do you mean kosherappsforflip's method? If you mean apps4flip's method, (via adb method), then isnt there additional instructions given for that specific app? and if you mean kosherappsforflip's method, what is their method...? (sorry, im rather inexperienced with these things 🙂

                      anonymousflipphone The apps4flip method is the regular way through adb, which will work, you don't need those extra commands for the xp3. or you can use kosherappsforflip's kyocera app installer for an easy way to install any of thier kyocera apps (Including voice access). or you can use their auto apk installer to install any apk you downloaded from either site. (that installer may crash after a few apps, just x out and try again). Hope this helps.
                      BTW if you want me (or any other user) to be notified when you respond, you need to put an @ symbol before the username. (clicking reply will automatically add it to the beginning)

                        ok so i used webadb to install voice access from kosherapps.
                        After installing, i wasnt able to click anything from the main screen unless i double tapped. Additionally, i wasnt able to figure out how use it altogether; it wouldnt respond to my commands...

                          anonymousflipphone on the exalt, if you go to notifications there's an option for voice access settings. There's probably something like that by your phone too.
                          In it you can change settings like, cancel on touch, configure activation key, etc. That may help you out....

                            anonymousflipphone Yes, I had that double click issue also, but i wasnt sure which one of my many apps caused it I guess now i know 😆. but i got used to it. I'm not sure where youre getting stuck, but [Login to see the link] is probably right, you need to go to settings>accessability>voice access>settings and configure activation key and other settings

                                [Login to see the link] I had the double tap issue with both VA and switchboard. Maybe the problem is with all apps from kosherappsforflip?
                                And what are functions that i can use with VA and switchboard? with switchboard, it became my default keyboard, i try typing and end up with lines on my screen....

                                  anonymousflipphone I doubt it has to do with kosherappsforflip, more likely that theyre both accessability apps. i'm not sure exactly what your issue is, but after you give accessability permission it askes you to make switchboard the default program, don't switch it, leave it on flex t9 and close it
