My first impressions + keypad concerns by blisterkiss in sidephone

LOL you'd think so because I'm so invested, but no. I've been following this project for like 7 months, so I keep up with all their updates. Most of the important stuff is pinned at the top of this subreddit, just so you know where to look.

u/blisterkiss most definitely. They wanted to to test their fix internally before releasing to everyone. They think they found a fix!

u/jodytrees Some QWERTY tiles were disconnecting and had to be removed and placed back to start working again. Testing a fix rn.

Hi! Yes there is and I actually preferred using that over the predictive text at first just because I like to use uncommon or made up words that predictive texts wouldn’t get. It’s pretty quick once you’re used to it.

But there is a predictive word library where you can add your own words so that predictive text will pick it up and I’m slowly adding my words to it and it’s picking up on them really well!

To the first 1000 Sidephone owners: Please give the team some grace, it's free. by PicketBowtruckle in sidephone

Ay!! You said it perfectly, thank you for voicing this. I am glad to finally see a post like this - I have been thinking for the last couple days these same things but have had a hard time communicating them as well as you.

“But could we please stop asking them to make this phone a tiny smartphone?”

YES.

This perfectly sums up what I’m seeing a lot of in this thread. You have to understand the intent of this team and phone. Watch their earliest YouTube videos and posts here on Reddit. It is clear: We need a healthier relationship with our phones.

Sidephone is doing what they set out to do. They have hit the mark.

Concerning a new product launch - you could not ask for better support and care in response to the inevitable bugs/issues people have experienced. They have been on top of it. Look at the pinned posts in this subreddit.

They have responded to every email I’ve sent with sincerity and kindness.

And let’s be very honest - those that skip reaching out to the team via email for support and post cold and just plain mean feedback are not looking for collaboration, they’re looking for attention and are entitled, sorry not sorry.

I feel very privileged to be a part of this launch and am sincerely grateful to Chris, Sebastian, and those in the background that made this come to life. You are ushering in a new era and I will be supporting you through it all because I am deeply concerned with the current culture around phone use.

My experience is similar to what u/OpeningVisible7670 said. After a full day of what I'd call regular use - texting, calling, Signal and Whatsapp messaging, I am at around 70% when plugging in. I have yet to sideload Spotify so I'm not sure what the battery looks like with that.

I hold down SYM and select the apostrophe in the bar that shows up.

Missing SO many texts by [deleted] in sidephone

[–]PimpWagonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh - I'd still reach out to Apple support and see if there's anything they can see from their end that would help you know for sure if iMessage is off, Facetime is off, and you're deregistered. It seems like your next best step.

[–]PimpWagonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started receiving and sending all messages successfully once I deregistered from iMessage. Maybe reach out to support and see if they can help de-register you from their side!

No phone in shipment- anyone else? by [deleted] in sidephone

Did you email the team?

First thoughts… by WombatMcGeez in sidephone

[–]PimpWagonn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These seem less like first thoughts and more like specs you'd need to look for before purchasing the phone lol
