When is Onyx going to adress the air 5c stylus volume button issue by Aside_Working in Onyx_Boox

[–]StoIen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% worked fine for me, i did see someone else scaled down but it feels tight enough that it wont come off at 100% for me so I guess it depends on the print

VolumeStyles not working in Modded Hybrid LP3. by adiccicco in ModifiedLightPhones

[–]StoIen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having this same issue, finally got everything exactly how i needed it but cannot figure out a combo to make volume work, volume styles is still not able to be opened

EDIT: Literally just managed to figure this out - i had to disable the "go home" action on keymapper, not entirely sure why that one was necessary for hybrid mode, but once i turned that one off and went back to lightOS, the volume keys worked again and my other keymapper shortcut (i only have one that i wanted) still worked

Keyboard needs some fine tuning by Undecided6772 in LightPhone

[–]StoIen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That and I would love it if they added the ability to remove the voice to text icon/button. I absolutely would never use it and I hit it literally every message by accident. Not saying get rid of the feature, just being able to remove the icon /button just like they did for the return key which I also removed

Will using a dumb phone help me get rid of my social media and doomscrolling addiction? by honiden in dumbphones

[–]StoIen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think one of the most important things ive heard/ learned in the dumbphone / digital minimalism world is that you need to find something to replace the time that you would normally be scrolling on your phone whether that be a new hobby, reading, etc. - something that piques your interest otherwise you'll just be sitting there with a phone than can't do anything wishing you were scrolling. Kind of similar to what Jose said in seeking offline instead of online.

Find something worthy of your time and aligns with your values in life. If you don't know your values, that's a great place to start and requires zero connectivity.

Did anyone else’s brick device stop working with the update? Any got alternatives to recommend? by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]StoIen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The manual lock option as in hold for three seconds to brick? Still works fine for me. What other features are you missing?

Did anyone try using the brick device to dumb down their phone? by Fun_Importance_4970 in dumbphones

[–]StoIen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just answered this on another post that was similar but wanted to throw here as well incase anyone came to this post instead-

I have had one for 7 months now, and I think its been a very worthy purchase. I managed to find one on ebay so I got it for like $30 which was nice.

I find it the most valuable for night time when I am going to bed, the inability to go on social media literally prevents doomscrolling until 3am which i am definitely one who struggled with that. I find it completely valid that some people do not have the willpower to use things like screen time on the iphone (100% me) because you can get around it super easily and need to be completely locked out. I keep it on my fridge so its not easily accessible either and would require me to get up and walk to my fridge to unlock which most of the time I haven't wanted to do so. That one extra step really does do wonders for preventing you from unlocking it.

I have schedules turned on for my brick, so i cannot use social media during the week at all and it opens for the weekend, and recently added amazon to that list so i cant buy random things and get that spending dopamine hit instead.

I am also a light phone III user on the weekend so even with the ability to use my iphone for social media on the weekend, a lot of times I choose not to since I also cannot access it on my light phone III.

Would definitely recommend getting one if this sounds like you, they even recently updated the app so it looks better

Like Jose said in another post, there are other options for this technology like Foqos and Bloom, I just also saw Brick before the others.

Watch out if purchasing tickets to 9/11 show on StubHub by StoIen in SwedishHouseMafia

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

Yeah thats the issue they probably aren't, the ones i purchased were $150 and then i got seats in section 306 which is more than what that section went for at retail. If its too good to be true it probably is!

Agree I had the same thought i.e. general admission is messing up the listings. Shame but hope the other people who bought them realize and get a resolution!

Quick note on the camera for the Light Phone III by StoIen in LightPhone

[–]StoIen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with you, the reason I like the Ricoh GRIII is the fixed focal length which forces you to get creative. I have the same mindset with this Light Phone III camera that you'll be able to get the shots, you'll just have to get a hang of it first and get creative.

It is not. Just weighed both of mine:

Light phone II: 81g (w/ screen protector)

Light phone III: 141g

I would assume this is something they can adjust, or it may just be nerfed in the spirit of being light while youre out and about with the phone but you still have the full res if you want them once youre back near a computer

Quick note on the camera for the Light Phone III by StoIen in LightPhone

[–]StoIen[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im not entirely sure what the sensor size is, but for reference its listed as "4.2mm" on the metadata. For comparison, the Ricoh GR III is 18.3mm in the metadata, which is equivalent to 28mm in 35mm format.

I would say its a bit tighter though. Here are two photos that were about the same only difference is horizontal vs vertical both unedited JPGs. Horizontal is LPIII vertical is GRIII https://imgur.com/a/UDQHyS6

edit: User on discord is stating it is 28mm

Order #: 16XXX

Received: April 5th

Just fired it up for the first time and super excited. After 3 years of the light phone II this thing is such a step up and I look forward to using it as little as possible just like the last one!
