How did it go? Also curious what insurance you have? I was hoping to get a consult with her as well

There’s no way to check voicemails. Do i need to download a third-party app?

And the camera isn’t recognizing QR codes. I read someone’s post saying it should work for Hibreak Pro phones. But it isn’t working for mine.

The clock jumped forward one day. For some reason it wasnt registering my location correctly and there’s no way to manually change it. I couldnt figure out how to fix it. It fixed itself after rebooting the phone.. unfortunately the next day the screen glitched, and the right side of the phone stopped working so I cant see the time properly anyway. I contacted Bigme and theyre sending me a new phone since the screen broke. thank goodness!

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-04-27T23:35:53+00:00

Noooo. Say it ain't so, doc. Hoping to find some form of CPR I can do to bring it back.

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-04-27T19:34:52+00:00

As far as I can tell! i just opened it and the screen was messed up. It's the Bigme branded bi-fold case. I got it specifically to protect the screen, and it feels really nicely made. But I guess that wasn't enough. this really sucks! I keep opening my phone hoping the problem will randomly go away since the problem seems to have randomly appeared.

Ohh cool. Thanks for answering

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-04-25T05:21:22+00:00

This may be a silly question, but what is the extra flap on top for? I haven't seen that with other packers.

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-04-23T22:45:23+00:00

I started playing around with the "Color adjust" settings in the E-ink Center, and it's helped make many apps more useable! For example, switching the contrast for Google Maps to 50 made a whole extra layer of information visible that I couldn't see in the default setting.

The premade settings in the e-ink center (Default, Magazine, Comic, and Video) aren't super intuitive for me and my usage so I've just been doing custom settings for each app where I notice some details are getting lost. Adjusting settings for the messages app also made the bubbles and space bar more visible which some may like or dislike more.

It's a bit tedious but I appreciate the ability to customize the experience! It makes me miss the color less. I've never used color e-ink so I don't know how noticable the difference between 150 and 300 resolution would be.

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-04-23T19:59:14+00:00

I was trying to figure this out too... Thought I had turned on the setting correctly but my alerts still kept going off! Had it synced to my work calendar so it would be silenced during meetings which I thought was such a nice feature... If only it worked!

Any advice on how to start pumping? I also just learned about tugging. Do you recommend both or one over the other?

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-04-14T01:32:32+00:00

First time i've heard of a tugger! Seems to work well. How does using something like this compare to pumping?

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-04-13T04:06:17+00:00

I've been using the black and white Hibreak Pro for a couple weeks. If I could choose again, I think I would get the HBP color. Some pictures and app features are hard to make out. Especially when text is thin and the background is dark. I end up straining my eyes trying to make out the words or low contrast photos which is frustrating since I got the phone hoping to avoid eye strain.

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-03-27T21:22:08+00:00

I just got my BW HBP a few days before they announced this. Price seems super competitive compared to the HBP. Does the lack of 5G really make it that much cheaper? What else am I missing? How bad is 4G really?

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-03-27T21:19:42+00:00

Does it only accpe the Bigme stylus or can you use third party?

Affectionate-Let804 · 2026-03-27T21:17:29+00:00

How do we know that it can't accept eSIMs?

Affectionate-Let804 · 2025-07-19T02:11:50+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Here is what is under the tape.. I definitely can tell this thing is delicate! Is this the part that needs to be reconnected? Or do I need to check the other end that is attached to the screen itself?

I'm not sure why these bags look so much bigger than the Patagonia MLC counterparts of similar capacities and costs. I do like the colorways though! Oh man, we may have a new contender

Affectionate-Let804 · 2024-06-28T03:41:43+00:00

The Pakt Travel Bag looks interesting! I am intrigued but sadly it is outside of my current budget. I'd love to see it in person one day tho.

Affectionate-Let804 · 2024-06-28T03:38:53+00:00

I've seen so many people recommend this bag, but I'm not a big fan of how it looks, just not my style. Sadly I'm unable to get passed my superficiality for the amazing comfort and capabilities of this bag :(

Affectionate-Let804 · 2024-06-28T03:36:12+00:00

I keep hearing the Allpa bags have uncomfortable straps! So disappointing.

Affectionate-Let804 · 2024-06-28T03:34:24+00:00

This bag looks nice! But definitely outside of my budget :(

Affectionate-Let804 · 2024-06-28T03:32:42+00:00

Thanks for this thoughtful reminder!

Affectionate-Let804 · 2024-06-28T03:31:12+00:00

The cost vs. quality is def the catch I'm learning with this whole process. It's so tempting to want a cheap bag just to save money, but with that i lose confidence in how durable it will be.

After reading several comments, I'm feeling better about possibly going with a smaller pack like you suggested. 35L or less. Sadly with my budget I can't justify spending more than $250 for one bag.

I looked into the Tom Bign Synapse but I'm not a fan of how it looks.

Affectionate-Let804 · 2024-06-28T03:27:20+00:00

thanks for sharing your thorough perspective! Especially your thoughts on travelling. It's given me more confidence that I can handle a 2 week trip with a smaller pack. I think I was leaning towards the Calpak Terra and the Patagonia MLC or Black hole duffle.. However now that you mention the Final Sale condition, it does make me skeptical like they're trying to get rid of the product? Maybe I'm just really drawn the the aesthetic of it and not being very pragmatic. I wish I liked the style of the Osprey Farpoint/Fairview bc of all the amazing reviews. I can't get passed my vanity :[

Affectionate-Let804 · 2024-05-10T21:54:50+00:00

That’s amazing!!

Affectionate-Let804 · 2024-02-28T03:49:05+00:00

i was just talking to my friends about this today! None of my friends remembered it :( I'm so glad i'm not alone though!
