Help, My Blind Shell Classic 2 has Locked Up

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 07:36:00 -0000

In today's episode, we discuss a helpful solution for blind shell users who may face unresponsiveness issues with their phones. When the usual unlocking methods fail, the best way to force a restart is by pressing and holding the back button on the phone. The back button is located above the number three on the keypad. Press and hold it for 15 seconds until you feel a longer vibration, indicating that the phone is restarting. Release the back button and wait for about 28 seconds to hear the startup sound, marking a successful restart. This method allows blind shell users to resolve problems like a frozen screen without the need to remove the battery.

Wayaround on the BlindShell Classic 2

All right, so I'm going to answer a real quick question that I've gotten a couple of different

from individuals who have asked.

And that is what is this way around application that's

available in the blind child classic two app catalog.

So if you go to the app catalog, as of today, seven June, you can

download under the new applications, an app called way around.

Once you've downloaded this, you'll want to set up an account

if you don't already have one and then acquire some way around tags.

Of course, you can get them from AT guys, but you can also get

at WayAround.com. I recommend AT guys only because I work for them, you know. I don't get paid a

commission, but definitely, you know, check them out. So once you've gotten those WayTags, then you

and you've set up your account. The very first thing you'll want to do is press and hold the

down button once you open WayAround. This will put you on the very last button, which is to write.

And if you press okay on that, you can actually write a description. There's going to be an edit

field that you can put a description in and this is what you can put on your way tag. So for example

let's say you have milk and you want to keep track of the expiration date. You can put those details

in the description and then the last button on that screen will be right. When you hit okay on

right it'll say touch a tag to the back of your phone. This is about halfway up the back of the

phone that you just want to touch one of the way tags against. When the phone has read it, it will

vibrate and let you know, "Hey, this has been written," and you can move on with your day.

Then attach that tag to the item that you just labeled.

Once you've done that, next time you open the way around application, you simply touch

the back of your phone against that tag.

The phone will speak and vibrate and let you know, "Hey, I'm reading the tag that you already

wrote."

Then once you've read that, you use your down arrow key and it'll let you read the information

that you saved to that tag.

Tune in to unmute presents on Sunday.

I'm going to demo this for you, but that is a quick overview of how to use the

way around system with the blind shell classic to make sure you get your

account set up, get some way around tags.

If you're looking for something to get started with, there's a sampler pack for

$15 that'll let you get one of each of the tags, or if you really want to get

involved, get the starter pack and that'll give you between 10 and 15 of each of
