  25. <p><em>Having trouble pushing buttons while talking on the phone?</em> If
  26. your phone has a proximity sensor, be sure to move the phone away from your face
  27. before trying to do something, including ending the call. The proximity sensor
  28. is designed to keep you from pressing buttons by accident with your face.</p>
  29. <p><em>Phone is silent after you turn it on?</em> It could be in the lock
  30. screen. Press your Power key and you should hear feedback saying the screen is
  31. going on or off. When the screen is on, but unlocked, swipe your finger to
  32. unlock the screen.
  33. <p><em>Unable to navigate?</em> If you think you're on a screen with buttons
  34. or controls but the directional controller has no effect when you move it in any
  35. direction, here's what to do:</p>
  36. <ol>
  37. <li>You might be focused on a control that's not accessible, like a big
  38. scrolling list of terms of service - but there still might be something else
  39. accessible on the screen. Try going down a lot to get past the current
  40. control.</li>
  41. <li>Sometimes, nothing on the screen is focused at all, but you can fix
  42. it by touching the screen with your finger. Be careful of tapping, which could
  43. click on a button that you don't want to press. Instead, try slowly swiping
  44. the screen with a diagonal motion from corner to corner, then move your
  45. directional controller. This usually gets you un-stuck and focuses a control.
  46. </li>
  47. <li>Finally, you might be on a screen that's not accessible at all. As an
  48. example, if you did a search on the Market, the "no results found" screen
  49. won't read anything, so in this case you'd just want to go back.</li>
  50. </ol>
  51. <p>If you're still having trouble, the best resource is to join and post
  52. messages to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/eyes-free/">eyes-free
  53. mailing list.</a> Remember to tell people what phone you're using and what
  54. Android version it has.</p>
