ot: perhaps, cell phone batteries?
Hi all, Has been rather a few years since I needed to buy a cell phone battery. The phone in question is from a manufacturer that I know tellus carries, although it is not with tellus. My hope is for an inexpensive avenue, refurbished for example, as I do not use the phone in a high volume fashion. Thoughts for in town locations for the buy? I doubt I could do this on line. thanks, Kare
What is the phone make and model? Check to see if it is easy to change the battery with a search on Youtube. Some are a real piece of !@%# to open and replace (glued glass screen to the back), while others seem to be designed for a battery exchange. I don't think you can refurbish a battery, just buy new. Maybe someone else knows. Before buying a phone I try to figure out if the battery can be replaced, as I know this is inevitable.

Oh I know I can remove the back and battery, was guided through this by my cell provider before their suggestion that I replace. Its not a smartphone. Kare On Thu, 27 Feb 2020, Don Tai wrote:

There are lots of phone repair shops around. They should be able to do something. Depending on the phone and your skill level, you may be able to buy a replacement battery and replace it myself. I replaced the battery in my Google Nexus 5 a few years ago and while it was within my technical capabilities, it was far beyond what most people could do. If you mention the phone model, you could probably get better advise. For example, replacing the battery on many Samsung models is trivail.
Sorry, intended to include the model in my last reply. its a kyocera rally. The back simply slides off allowing for battery removal. On Thu, 27 Feb 2020, James Knott via talk wrote:

That is not an option for me as wheel-trans does not go that far. Any options in town? thanks for the link! On Thu, 27 Feb 2020, Don Tai wrote:

They mail it I believe. I don't think they are a walk in store. Looks like a warehouse operation. Still quite a few places seem to offer batteries. https://batteryclerk.ca/products/kyocera-jax-s1360-rally-s1370-s1360-jax-s13... shows it for $16. So something in the $15 to $25 range seems normal for the battery for that phone. -- Len Sorensen
I believe they ship. In fact, they don't even seem to have a retail location. So, you place your order and wait for it to arrive. On 2020-02-27 04:46 PM, Karen Lewellen via talk wrote:

So far then battery clerk may be the better option, Canadian batteries website does not work well in a low graphics environment. Kare On Thu, 27 Feb 2020, James Knott via talk wrote:

Oh yeah. How easy it is for most of us to forget that websites often aren't very accessible. -- Len Sorensen

Some are barely visible even for those with good eyesight. I saw one a while ago, which was dark blue on black! There are some people creating websites who are too incompetent to do it. Then there are those with so much crap going on that you can't find what you want.

Some of those people work for Google, but never mind.
Then there are those with so much crap going on that you can't find what you want.
Which is one of the things that make me a bit loopy about the entire accessibility concept. In general universal web design is, or was, about ease and simplicity. The whole internet super highway analogy being rather a fine one. You want to get where you are going without stuff in the street, signs that lead nowhere, and random flashing confusing items...and such is true no matter how you interact with that site. Unfortunately, with this being also true for some in the access business, people think inclusion should start with a body focus, not a function focus. Add those who insist that a shared body label equals a shared accommodation, and little gets done. You have people needing to create their sites without a a great deal of knowledge, using a machine that likely scares them rather allot. so they reach for an instant design tool which is often more about looking pretty then accomplishing a goal..then there is JavaScript, an entire rant all by itself. Still, I often feel things might be far more inclusive if the question was less about how a person experiencing sight loss, or using a voice browser or an augmented keyboard would do the job, after all given how little the general public encounters those concepts with computers, a discussion sort of stalls on the..what? you can't use a computer if you..fill in the blank. Instead, speaking personally I would rather t he discussion start with okay, your client lives in rural Canada with little bondage for their internet, so how fast will your page load for them, and can they find your services easily? or, okay your client has an older laptop, meaning no mouse , just a keyboard. what happens if they hit entre on this link? Creating lots of doors to the same structure just sense more inclusive to me, no matter what the person is using to reach said site in the first place. I am presently having a discussion with my bank about their on line platform, which has a keyboard functional option to register, but a javascripted harmless button that does not work from the keyboard if one wants to log in, which in turn leads to a blank page with no active links to use at all.
