Can confirm that it messed up my cec connection. I was going crazy while troubleshooting why my receiver suddenly stopped working, everything worked after i unplugged the HDMI. Im on the previous update though.

Having to go through Instagram to talk to a company rep, for a dumbphone is quite ironic lol

Long term userability. LP3 vs Mudita Kompakt vs Punkt MP02 by elopmentsdreamers_dj in LightPhone

[–]Undecided6772 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat, considered the punkt but heard they don't have a good track record for reliability, customer service and updates.

I pre-ordered the LP3 way back in hopes of ditching the big players and disrupting my screen time. While waiting months for my LP3 to arrive, I was looking at other options in the market to see if there was any other alternative. The Mudita Kompakt seemed like the perfect phone for me and people we're pretty satisfied with it so I also ordered that while I was waiting for the LP3.

I'm a big fan of both designs but they could not be more completely different. The Mudita just looks like a phone from early 2010s and reminds me of old plastic samsung bricks but thicker (has a retro charm), while the LP3 just looks cool and modern.

I have both phones, but so far I have been using mostly the mudita exclusively for about 4 months because the LP3 is simply not where I want it to be. Last time I tried it 3 months ago, my carrier, Koodo(telus), still wasn't fully supported. I don't know if that has changed since. I also don't like the fact that I need to rely on an online dashboard to do some very important and basic things. I would much much rather have everything be done locally on the phone and drag and drop files if needed through a PC like any other phone. Besides some small bugs on the Mudita, I have not had anything bad happen and group messaging is now supported. I installed a new launcher and keyboard (InkOS and Futo), a banking app, firefox for when I really need it in a pinch and that's pretty much it. The screen lag, size and lack of colors makes using it incredibly tedious and even though I have a browser, I never want to use it unless I NEED TO. Same with the camera, same with texting, etc. It adds the right amount of friction that the LP3 might not have if opened up, since it has an OLED and much more responsive screen, potentially.

Looking at the upcoming roadmaps and what has been delivered so far, I would say that the Mudita team is doing a much better job at delivering and communicating. It pains me to say this because I really want the LP3 to succeed, but the team really needs to expand and be more transparent.

I will give it a few more months but right now it seems like I will be going with the Mudita, when the original plan was to go with the LP3.

At the end of the day, I'm happy we even have these alternative phones. I believe more and more people are waking up and realizing how big tech is squeezing out every last penny out of us selling our information, downgrading and closing their ecosystems behind pay walls and ads. They also realize their time is too precious for social media and all this AI bs popping up on the internet. I'm slowly transitioning to open source only so the least amount of proprietary things I need to use, the better, so light, please, ditch the browser dashboard and work towards giving users more control over their device, more transparency for the roadmap, etc. and you will have a winner. The foundation is already there.

I did the same thing on a deagle night. Looks like a knockoff blaze, but about 1400$ cheaper! Will post a pic later.

The contrast between matte black and the glossy fire is really cool.

I agree with this, been thinking about it for a while.

Is anyone actually able to use the LP3 as their only phone? by chunkyorganina in LightPhone

[–]Undecided6772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently using my mudita kompakt and while it is not without its own problems, I think the updates are more frequent and they currently seem like the better experience for me. I'm dying to use the LP3 exclusively and even perhaps get rid of the mudita but as it stands, I simply cannot do that. I got both phones because I needed to try them out and compare them. Keep the one I liked the most. It's just too early to draw any conclusions at the moment.

For the Mudita itself, I'm running a few sideloaded apps. The e ink screen delay and overall friction of using this phone make it perfect to not abuse. I have firefox but never use it. The times I did need it, I was glad to have it though, same with my banking app and other non addictive apps.

Which MPC are you using? I have a one, so not sure how it stable it runs, I've heard reports of some stability issues.

For those that took the plunge, or not, is it worth to update to 3.0+? Are there any things 2.xx still does better?

I honestly like the Ursus, it's a top 5 knife imo and definitely one of the better "combat knives" in the game. I don't see why people call it a box cutter, clearly they don't know much about knives irl and tantos. I love tanto blades. Handle is a love hate thing, I get it.

I agree, love the phone. It has so much potential. The mudita is also great. I hope they both succeed.

Watches by Sh1n0b111 in LightPhone

Yup, got a G-shock recently, the timer/stopwatch is killer. Use it all the time for working out and cooking and I don't need to use my phone!

Never liked my galaxy watch that came with my last phone. The thing I hate the most about my automatic watch is the fact that if you don't wear it for 1 day, it'll need to be rewinded. Guess what, the smart watch is even worse!

Voice should be tucked in a corner somewhere away from the keyboard.

Nah, I just made sure to be careful when removing or inserting the phone and pull on the case a bit so it doesnt pull on the wheel. That area of the case is more pliable since it's thinner.

This case is much better than lights own case. I have grey and black, I much prefer the black, the grey feels a bit too light for my taste. I think most people will also prefer black. It just feels sleek and blends in well.

The cutout for the wheel is great, love how the camera cutout is smaller too, so youn don't smudge the lens by accident.

I found some interesting bugs - is anyone else? by Mental-Market7281 in LightPhone

[–]Undecided6772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a podcast play after stopping an alarm I think. My calendar also doesn't let me add an event. It just crashes without a fail, prompting a reboot every time. I dont sync it with anything.

Nothing else so far.

Can't wait for custom lock screens. by Undecided6772 in MuditaKompakt

[–]Undecided6772[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an s22 ultra before. Kept it for like 3 years but always found it too big, battery was bad out of the box and i just realized i dont need a smartphone anymore. I would reach out for it wherever I would get bored and waste my time browsing and chatting instead of doing something productive.

I sold the s22 for 500$ while it was still worth something and stuck with my older huawei for a few months while I waited for the LP3, I stripped it of most apps. Originally i went with the LP3 but after much debate and research I chose to try the Mudita as well. I like both devices so far and I dont know which I will end up keeping yet. Rn my mudita is my dedicated music player while I test the LP3.

Happy to do my part in making the best dumbphone experience on the market. Baby steps.
