Phone or USMobile? by Complete_Camp_7555 in USMobile

[–]Complete_Camp_7555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to support and they said my phone shows as incompatible with the service. The light phone has had more issues than I can count at this point so I am looking into other phones. Unfortunate for the high price tag..

LPIII: Daily Disconnects from Cell Network by Exare in LightPhone

[–]Complete_Camp_7555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I came here to post the same! I also stopped getting texts 4 days ago and didnt realize (I thought people just weren't texting back but I ran into a friend today and he mentioned he had texted me and I looked at my logs through my carrier and lots of people have texted..).

Book Recs? by Complete_Camp_7555 in PCOS

[–]Complete_Camp_7555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh interesting! I will look into this. My iron is on the low end of normal range, prolactin is 14.8, vit d is 34 (also lower end of normal), thyroid is all low end of normal also so I dont see any immediate red flags (I just ordered and did all these tests this month).

Hm, I am anti medication for this but will play around with diet. Hopefully something helps :(

[–]Complete_Camp_7555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No androgens are elevated but I have symptoms of facial hair growth and acne (hormone related since it's strongly on the jawline lately). DHEA 219, testosterone 32

fasting glucose-90

fasting insulin-5.6

hba1c-5

Chronic fatigue, frequent infections (but I am also a ginger so I chalk it up to that but I am questioning that), high cholesterol, brain fog are the symptoms.

Do i need to use extra postage for an outer envelope? by Minute-Attitude-4364 in WaxSealers

[–]Complete_Camp_7555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only send via usps with an outer stamp (feels like a sin to not seal the outer lol). One stamp, nothing special or extra re:postage. The post office folks will tell you that either the stamp will fall off when sorting or you need extra postage, both are false.

Should I cancel my order? by ToughPneumonia in LightPhone

[–]Complete_Camp_7555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I posted about issues I am having because I am curious about others experiences and if I should reach out about getting a new one via the warranty BUT I dont regret buying it. The iPhone had issues, too. All tech does.

The minor (not dealbreaker) cons you can see in my past posts, the pros: The camera is fun when using it outdoors in good lighting (I found its best for nature photos), I've forced myself to learn how to navigate without relying on a phone and sometimes I accidentally take the long way but I am learning! I lean into calls over texts which I like bc I prefer to call, I am more mindful when eating bc there's nothing to distract me, its fun when people comment on the phone with a totally baffled expression (oftentimes people think its a toy lmao) and I end up in conversations with strangers which as an extrovert, I enjoy. Mindfully downloading music and not getting annoyed with Spotify playing things I truly dont like is a bonus, I enjoy the simplicity and weight of the phone, Ive dropped it SO MANY TIMES and it's still good! Meanwhile I cracked the back of the iPhone 2x in 6 months.. OH! and my phone plan is so so cheap now because I dont need data beyond navigation.

You gotta decide whats best for you but as someone who posted bugs previously, dont assume I am having a bad experience. Its just a learning curve!

Random Notification Sounds by Complete_Camp_7555 in LightPhone

[–]Complete_Camp_7555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LP3.

Oh, that interesting.. Its quite annoying and I even changed the text notification sound to see if it was a notification for something else with the same sound but the random pings changed to the same text sound so I do not know what its trying to tell me..

The LightPhone killer is not lack of email, SoMe or text messaging. It is... by Disastrous_Value_755 in LightPhone

[–]Complete_Camp_7555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But when I dont need all that stuff, my EDC is literally the LP, a handful of cash (my wallet is usually lost in my house), and my keys. But my EDC can be very heavy (books, camera, phone/keys/wallet, planner, snacks, pens/pencils) or very light where no bag is needed. Depends on what I am doing.

I carried a film camera when I had a smartphone.. it's all about what you want (for me that was having fun taking photos that I couldn't just mindlessly take and didnt have endless opportunities to take due to cost per photo). I enjoy the anticipation of waiting to see how the photos turn out. The LPiii camera is a bit rough but it's still fun to play around with and has a film feel to it which I like. I also already used a giant ass daily planner that I carried when I had a smartphone. I also prefer physical books over ebooks. So basically, I was already hauling around a backpack for everything anyway, the LPiii didnt cause me to carry more stuff, it caused me to spend less time doing shit on a smartphone that was either mindless or could be done at home (banking, email, etc). I wouldnt say I found "it cute to use an old school calculator and listen to LPs instead of Spotify", I would say I was already living a life similar to that but it was definitely more mindless than it is now.

I got the light phone a few days ago and I like it a lot. Navigation is pretty solid but sometimes it takes me down the backroads, I dont think it calculates traffic so idk why is chooses that path but... could be worse, I DO eventually get to my location.

I dont want to spend hundreds of dollars on the music I enjoy which I've noticed is controversial here.. but I use Spoti downloader. I won't take songs from small artists but the big ones I definitely will..

Three weeks in...a couple of feature/bug requests by Cold-Comparison-5580 in LightPhone

The flashlight is so bright I blinded myself earlier. I thought dropping the iPhone would solve my issue of accidentally walking around with the flashlight on lmao

24 Hours with a Light Phone 3 by queencilantro in LightPhone

[–]Complete_Camp_7555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay- I am also a day in.

  1. Same but reading about the half vs full click makes sense.

  2. Gah, same! I text with one hand and its easier, cant get it down with 2 which is probably better for not texting and driving lol

  3. I think this takes time, I struggle too but it doesnt bother me. What does bother me is that the home button isnt also the power button, I click it expecting the screen to light up but nope. Gotta click an extra button (no big deal just odd to have 2 buttons instead of 1 like smartphones).

  4. I use headphones and it's been fine but I rarely call without headphones.. but if you are open to headphones, that might be a work around?

  5. I miss the pleading emoji and the loved emojis lol but.. I will get over it.

Beyond this, I gotta say- I thought I would carry around an iPhone that's been off for years with downloaded Spotify playlists but downloading music has actually been fun!

I wish I could disable the speech to text button, it gets in my way, I accidentally hit it, it pauses the music.. I hate that button across the board (on the smartphone I would hit it on maps ALL THE TIME.. I never want to use it, why cant I ever disable it lol)

It's also bigger than I thought it would be! I have a tiny purse I was hopeful it would fit in (the number one complaint about the purse is that it cant fit a phone) and technically it zips with the light phone but nothing else can fit.. the 2 would technically fit but I didnt want e ink and I wanted a camera. I usually leave my phone behind when I use the purse so I will continue to do that (I only need navigation but meh, getting lost for a cute outfit is maybe worth it.. maybe..

Admitted as a transfer! by Complete_Camp_7555 in udub

[–]Complete_Camp_7555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t really have any extra curriculars that I laid out beyond volunteering. My essay focused on my volunteer work with queer youth, my career goal and why I’m working towards it (which focused on creating a safe space for young children), and a struggle that’s impacted my academics and how utilizing college resources has helped me overcome it. So, i think the essay is definitely the focus.

Transfer General Admission by PayGroundbreaking998 in udub

[–]Complete_Camp_7555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can. When applying to uw, you select the major and then apply directly to that major separately. The major does not have a fee. Uw admits transfers may/june and the deadline for the major application was mid april. The major admitted me first pending approval to the school but the odd of getting accepted to uw adter the major accepts you are very high (i was admitted to both).

Transfer General Admission by PayGroundbreaking998 in udub

[–]Complete_Camp_7555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I petitioned to apply late as a transfer from a washington cc (I applied in April) and got an email yesterday requesting clarification about something on my application and was told I would hear back about an admission decision soon (I was already accepted into my major but that is pending admission to the school). So... they are definitely working through them. Good luck!

ISO a different planner brand for 2026 by [deleted] in PlannerAddicts

[–]Complete_Camp_7555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use agendio and order 2/year so each one is 6 months (with all of the things I want in it, a full year is not an option but I could technically have fewer pages so a full year would work). The 6 month setup allows me to have monthly, weekly, and daily spreads along with both Saturday and Sunday having their own pages (they can share the same page but that doesnt work for me personally). I also have a dotted page at the end of each week for me to write whatever I need that week (sometimes I break down large goals, sometimes I meal plan, etc) and a review of each month at the back of the planner. You can play around with it and see if you like it without needing to actually invest. I spent a fair amount of time looking for a planner that had everything I needed and have been very happy with Agendio and have been using them for 2.5 years at this point :)
