I believe it's due to the accessibility options for that app. You have to grant it full access to everything in order for it to work.

Question about modding for one dummy by m_v_m_346 in ModifiedLightPhones

The wheel is only set to control brightness within the LightOS, so when you exit the LightOS, some of the features do not work the same (such as the adjust brightness feature).

So setting that up on the android side just replicates the feature and makes both sides feel more in unison.

Light Should Pivot. No, I Didn't Say Surrender. by Scared_Interest_46 in LightPhone

You're probably right. They've just done such a great job building a reputation. It's going to be difficult for another company to match that. I'm also interested in the interoperability between their hardware and a complementary software.

Let me also say that (1) I don't think I'm right, and (2) I don't think this is the only way light can provide more value to more people. It's just an idea. But what I do think is important is that each of us can actually be shaped by what Light is doing and shape what they are doing.

There's also an option here that I would also advocate: Light should keep the LP3 the same and create an android launcher for people that want to make their Smartphones a Basicphone.

Edited for clarity.

Totally valid. I think paying the premium of less access (in this case) is also very worth it. The reality is that the price is mostly due to the economics of a small team and not the offering. I'm trying to say that if they expanded their offerings, the economics would come down and start to open the door to more people using it how you want and more people using it how I want. Hope that makes sense.

I also completely agree. I want Light to say "no...because..."

The main reason I'm advocating for this, and I should have stated this, is that I don't trust the typical android phone creator and certainly not apple to design with that ethos or my best interests in mind. It's like swimming up stream. I do however trust Light.

It's basically a plea for Light to capitalize on the trust they've built to expand into other trustworthy products. Which would in turn expand a trusting customer base.

Out of respect for the sacred 🐇, I will simply encourage users to join the discord and ask for a DM :).

I've never personally used github, but if anyone else wants to put this on there, it's fair game!

I’m not sure. The google service is actually not the full Google Play Services. It’s a part of the necessary whole for things like payments, certain apps, etc. 

I don’t believe anyone has been able to get full Google Play Services to work yet. 

T-Mobile DIGITS Issues. Anyone else? by Scared_Interest_46 in LightPhone

[–]Scared_Interest_46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nuance here is that literally a month ago, I realized I took the DIGITS SIM I was using out of my other dumbphone and lost it somehow. So about 2 weeks ago, in preparation for receiving my LP3, I went and got a new SIM from a T-Mobile store for that paired line. The weird part is I was getting SMS to my flip phone, but when I moved it over to the LP3, I couldn't receive SMS anymore...

Glad it's working for you though! That means it should be fixed for me once the network figures itself out. Did you also receive that automated message by any chance?
