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

                          anonymousflipphone the resetter is a windows program that kosherappsforflip made to reset the selected button if your having issues. you dont put it on your phone, you run it on the computer while your phone is attached. Anyway i dont think its needed for the xp3 because you can always change the button in settings (unless you set the select button or something and really mess yourself up)

                            I by mistake set the enter button to open an app when held down for 3 seconds and now it doesn't work to click regularly (it only works to hold for 3 sec and opens the weather app). Now can't do anything on the phone and the sonim care lock blocks reset option. Anyway to disable the button mapper app without having the enter button???!!!
                            or another way to get the button to work?

                              whatelseshouldido You can use scrcpy or you can do adb uninstall from a computer (I think you can also still reset by holding power and volume down or up and resetting from that menu)

                                Random tip for XP3 users: If you're having a problem with Jewish Music Stream and Jstream keeping on crashing, I've found that you can use a radio app called simple radio that works well on the xp3, it has many of the stations available including jewish music stream, geula.fm, jroot radio, jewish hits, dance 246, and nachum segal. (of course if you don't want regular radio on your phone don't use this app)
