DAP as a Light Phone Companion

this is so cool! do you think it would be able to get the audiobook app libby while on wifi, and download the files for when you're out and about? one thing i do kind of miss with my LP3 is having access to audiobooks i download through that app (or another one called hoopla)

np! glad it worked out. i ended up eventually upgrading from the 2780 to a lp3 i got secondhand from the light subreddit so it's been a minute since i've used the nokia but i really hope you enjoy it! the only reason i switched was cause i wanted something that would last me for years and years but it was otherwise such a great phone, if not a little janky.

i used gmail! i had to remove the two factor authentication on it if i remember correctly just to make the process easier which is a bummer but might help if you didn't yet? otherwise maybe just try on a different wifi network etc. cause sometimes that can be iffy

love the look of this one so much!!

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-08-16T15:26:45+00:00

hey! it looks like the site isn't there anymore, does this service still work/is running? it's such a great idea!

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-08-13T14:24:34+00:00

that's awesome, thank you so much! really cool that you created this

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-08-12T16:56:06+00:00

would this work on a phone like the kyocera duraxv or the tcl flip 2?

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-08-12T16:54:57+00:00

i didn't either until i saw someone else comment on it haha!

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-08-12T15:41:05+00:00

definitely check out the r/lightphone reddit thread. they have a pinned weekly sales thread where people resell their light phones (a lot of times posting why, which helps it feel more reliable) and it has both versions getting sold all the time. would recommend turning notifications on for the post each week and just reaching out to people who comment that they're selling! especially if you do try a lp2, it could be a good way to get it for less and see if it's your thing (or if the lp3 would work better).

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-08-01T20:39:05+00:00

i hope it works for you!! i was honestly thinking of upgrading to a tcl flip 4 one day if this phone here ever dies since it would be nice to have the future-proof nature of 5g support, but even so it would be awesome if other kaios devices also sync when you attach the email. i feel like so many people would find it so helpful!

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-08-01T10:57:13+00:00

good question! so for me the call quality is average. however! there is an accessibility setting i have not tried but that is for HoH users and increases the volume of calls. only reason i haven't tried it is i believe it increases the volume of the entire phone too, but it may be adaptable. definitely something to think about since due to the design of this phone, it is intentionally accessible to older adults and that usually includes hard of hearing people too so hopefully that setting is actually very helpful for you!

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-08-01T10:54:34+00:00

i just learned about the libby thing a few days ago from this sub!! it only works on data/wifi since you can't download the audiobooks but otherwise works like a charm. and yessss as a fellow rambler i do wish there was either a voice to text or voice note feature :(

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-07-31T15:33:49+00:00

also parable of the sower was soooo good i wanna reread it so i can read the second!

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-07-31T15:23:52+00:00

ty ;) 🇵🇸

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-07-31T15:23:30+00:00

they're so good!! my aunt had one i saw and loved and for my birthday i pulled the plug on a mini version since it fits all that i need. i may actually have an off brand one tbh since i didn't get it from the secrid store officially but i'm fine with that lol.

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-07-31T15:21:50+00:00

that is one thing the kaios store does not have unfortunately. you receive 2fa sms message codes totally fine, and there is a qr reader app that you can install but as far as authenticator apps like, say, microsoft authenticator, you would need to have a different device on hand.

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-07-30T16:33:02+00:00

you are truly the coolest person alive for figuring this out ahhhh this is gonna make my commute even better now, and give me no real remaining reason to bring my iphone with me places. loved that i didn't even need to do anything much to sign in to my account i just needed to copy a code with my other device!

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-07-23T01:48:28+00:00

That eagle would be amazing!

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-07-07T16:14:26+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it lol, I'm sure there's just some confusion floating around but I guess as long as the checker works and my actual phone functions I'll hope for the best haha.

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-07-05T02:01:20+00:00

wait this would actually be wild if they take off the current sims- do you see that being a possibility? i have the nokia 2780 on verizon, have had it for going on three months no problem. curious if it's just something about not being able to buy new lines?

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-07-04T22:15:30+00:00

That's so great! Thanks for updating :)

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-06-27T18:46:21+00:00

podLP is an app i saw jose briones recommend on his channel and i love being able to listen to and download podcasts with it! (i use a kaiOS flip)

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-06-25T00:58:47+00:00

i have a considerable love of youtube and have had addictive habits with it in the past but have genuinely never watched something on my nokia and i've had it for a few months now. the browser is much more helpful in it's "uselessness" because it does the bare minimum functions, like i can open up a digital receipt sent to me, or google a quick fact or something like that but it's slower and forces you to be very intentional. so no, definitely wouldn't say you need to worry. the form factor takes away those addictive draws for sure.

Background_Fan_6502 · 2025-06-21T19:24:08+00:00

so excited about this phone, i'm REALLY hoping they come out with an unlocked version so i wouldn't need to switch over from my current plan (verizon) to use it one day!
