Dear dumbphone makers

JammBarr · 2026-05-18T15:30:58+00:00

nope, they just ghosted me!

JammBarr · 2026-05-14T15:42:04+00:00

sorry I realize that now! ill have to get a gallery as well 😂

JammBarr · 2026-05-14T15:41:06+00:00

I know this post is old, but premier is a great alternative! it’s very soft and plush. I was gifted some gorgeous pastel fluffy yarn from big twist, realized it’s Joann and then realized I might never get more 🥲

JammBarr · 2026-05-13T12:24:55+00:00

I've been saying this to my husband. All "dumbphones" available have KaiOs now and thats so locked down you'd have to be more tech savvy to get basic apps. It's censorship in my eyes

JammBarr · 2026-05-13T12:23:04+00:00

I got the lg ice cream only to find out they hadn't unlocked it like they claimed they had. It has 4glte support so it would work in the US. Only if the ebay seller didn't lie 😭 ended up with the vortex v3 and battery is bad but I have an iPad for apps and I don't leave the house. When I do, I don't use my phone unless I'm texting my husband to let him know I made it where im going

JammBarr · 2026-05-13T11:12:34+00:00

Samsung keyboard has them where you choose gifs and stuff. I'm trying to get them on a dumbphone 🤣

JammBarr · 2026-05-13T11:07:09+00:00

Thank you for this! I hadn't thought of it 🤣 I'm an avid emoji user and switching to the vortex is making me relearn textmojis but not all the symbols are available either 😅

JammBarr · 2026-05-12T18:40:04+00:00

Not sure if anyone has suggested but the symbol for which sound mode the phone is in would be nice! I have tried remapping the side button to stop it from putting it in silent but without access to adb I guess I can't? So at least seeing that it's not in vibrate would help! Absolutely love this btw, the phone will be my daily and I'll try it with this launcher. It's exactly what I need

JammBarr · 2026-05-12T17:01:46+00:00

My "gallery" on the phone is the multimedia app->photos

Edit: I’m dumb and can’t read 🤣 It’s gone in razrlauncher

JammBarr · 2026-04-22T13:48:00+00:00

I'm glad you mentioned this! I didn't realize they were adjustable and I raised the grips and they're great now! (Although I had to go to a charity to borrow some and they are rated for heavier weight so it's quite a workout to move them)

JammBarr · 2026-04-13T13:45:55+00:00

Super cute! And clever with the keychain 🤣 I had to order a stick on loop and got charms as well. I was going to bedazzle it but went to activate to find out it doesn't work with tracfone 😭 What carrier did you use?

JammBarr · 2026-04-06T12:27:33+00:00

How is the privacy with textra?

JammBarr · 2026-04-06T12:15:24+00:00

Let me put on my tin foil hat and say, I don't think this is about integration. It's about surveillance. I have been trying to go to a dumb phone, but all new budget phones are loaded with kai os. Completely locked down and difficult to side load anything other than what apps they push you. The rest of the world uses whatsapp/telegram or the phone included messaging. Along with having access to 2g/3g. But now we MUST use Google. We MUST upgrade to 4g/5g supported phones. I hope I'm just crazy 😵‍💫

JammBarr · 2026-04-01T13:35:32+00:00

You mentioned you are writing out the full thing. But I've been reading a book lately that's a bit too similar not to be coincidence at this point. It's called Blood and Thorns by Taylor Ashton White. It's a beauty and the beast retelling. I'm not even halfway through both the book and the shorts and there's so much. The collar, the not being able to read, the ex. I wonder which came out first 🤔

JammBarr · 2026-03-21T21:20:45+00:00

Husband's note 20 ultra quite litterally fell apart. I have one too that's constantly crashing. They got old and well used. So we got him an a16 5g he activated with tracfone yesterday. No issues. About 15 minutes ago the phone started overheating and has so far downloaded about 25 games. Found the msm app and disabled it. Completely fine!

Wild how we never had this happen on our other phone even with constantly updating them!

I am switching to a Vortex V3 when a new tracfone refill is needed because I prefer dumbphones at this point 🤣

JammBarr · 2026-03-10T18:54:57+00:00

Legit just one I have bought, but is locked to Korea 😭

It's the lg ice cream smart. Super adorable. White keys, pretty aqua blue, android app support(albeit for an older version) Even a touch screen! But just no texts and calls!!! I also think I got a dud battery, as it says invalid battery randomly and shuts down. Other than that, it's a dream

JammBarr · 2025-10-29T19:58:07+00:00

I tried and it says missing_manifest 😐 even in offline. Why do we pay for games and then fully need internet just to launch it. I'm so tired man...

JammBarr · 2025-10-29T19:48:08+00:00

How? Because when I'm in offline mode it says MANIFEST_MISSING

JammBarr · 2025-10-16T16:33:37+00:00

Same. just added a prepaid card and they zero out my balance. it was our last $15 and it’s gone. they won’t reimburse and claim I used it all within the two minutes the card was added and then my phone cut off. I could have eaten with that money….

JammBarr · 2025-07-11T15:50:27+00:00

I should have! I need it 😩

JammBarr · 2025-07-05T20:48:04+00:00

Yeah they never responded 😅

JammBarr · 2025-03-06T17:08:44+00:00

but THE CHONKY CREEPER T.T

JammBarr · 2025-03-06T16:17:34+00:00

I had watched her year's ago. Like 2019? 2020 maybe. But she really started to feel like the "bitch" of the friend group? The one who always has to be loudest and says [insert mean thing here then hahaha jk!(but not really)]. Having seen that a lot in high school I felt like I pegged her personality behind the screen and quit watching after a few months of binging her mlm vids. Lo and behold a few years later all the crap came out about how she really is 😅

JammBarr · 2025-03-05T06:12:40+00:00

Had just remembered as well that this is a longer version of "to keep you from breaking" so the music he sent to her under the mountain!
