Not only do we have an android class actively in session, but we also have a blindshell class for the classic 3 in session .

Has your BlindShell Classic 3 phone accidentally been muted? Here’s how to get speech back without going into settings which would be very difficult without speech.
To turn speech back on for the BlindShell Classic 3:
Hold down the Cancel button (the red button) for about 2 seconds until you feel a short vibration.
Press the Down button 6 times.
Press the OK button twice.
Press the 4 key, then press OK.
Press the 4 key again, then press OK.
Press the 1 key, then press OK.
After a short pause (about 2 seconds), try pressing the Up or Down button, and you should hear the speech again.

Enjoying the #blindshell 2 phone I got as a backup phone. Am about 5 hours into the excellent docs from #mysticacces. Great as always! Wondering if you can show your phone number on the phone. And in theory, can you plug the phone into something and plop your own files to ad ringtone choices. Might they be mp3 or some such?

Id you hear the #UnmutePresents content that we dropped yesterday? It’s @WayAroundTools on the #BlindShell Classic 2… https://pnc.st/s/unmute-presents-on-acb-communi/6e650466/wayaround-on-the-blindshell-classic-2

Hears my #AudioMo for day 7, it’s an episode of the #ShellPhoneShow… Did you know that @WayAroundTools is on the #BlindShell Classic 2 now?

🔊 Check out this interesting bug I discovered today! When using the pound or hash key in some apps, it clears the username field and focuses on the password field instead. listen to the #AudioMo for today to hear the bug in action ! #BugReport #Accessibility #BeMyEyes #BlindShell
