Using an external keyboard with Android

I am someone who is a slow typist when it comes to on screen keyboards. I am okay with a short password or a couple of words reply to a message but that is about it. I have long preferred to use either a USB or Bluetooth keyboard with my phone. I remember one of the first Motorola phones I had, I bought a Motorola Bluetooth keyboard at the same time & got the sales guy's help in pairing, since I was so new to android. These days I use a Logitech K380 keyboard. I love the size as it easily slips into a bag or backpack. It has a physical power switch on the left edge, so no random keypresses when in my backpack.  I've had this model for years & its still available from Amazon. I also found a carrying case that the K380 fits in perfectly and helps keep it safe while traveling. That too can be found at Amazon as well as other places. More often though while at home, I just grab a wired USB keyboard and plug into my phone. It does have a USB A to

ChromeCast With Google TV Setup Accessible

I got my ChromeCast with Google TV back in January 2021. At that time the directions were to setup using the Google Home app on your phone. That was partially accessible until it was ready to make some changes & install updates, then things just crashed & there was no way to turn on Talkback. I got help from my Wife & after we got things working, using the device was an excellent experience. I read a tweet today about the setup part of the device being available on the play store for updating the ChromeCast with Google TV. I wondered at that point if accessibility changes could be made & rolled out to the device. I sent a few tweets & hadn't checked to see if anything had changed yet in the process of setting up this great device. After tweeting I thought I should check that. One of the sites I was reading mentioned setting it up with the help of the Home app or just doing it all on device. I thought I should try just setting it up on

Nokia X100 Review

Nokia X100 Tmobile 5 out of 5 stars I recently purchased the Nokia X100 from Tmobile. It seems that is the only place in the US to buy this phone, which is okay for my needs, as I am a Tmobile customer. What led me down the road to getting this phone was the disappointment in the delay of getting Pixel 6 Pro phones to the Tmobile store, the price of the 6 Pro, & the list of issues that are being experienced. I first wanted one but started to look to see what else in the Android world was out there. I found the Nokia X100 one day while browsing around & took a look at the specs, 6GB Ram & 128GB storage. I thought wow, that's pretty good and in a phone that was only $252. I got to thinking, I wonder if as a blind guy, if the apps that I use would run okay enough on this phone. First, let me say I was only looking for what will work for me. I'm totally blind so the quality or performance of the video quality on the phone's s
