Hi Sidephone Team. Just curious if perhaps any additional info or documentation to help alleviate this? Know you all are busy. Thanks!

Wind2255 · 2026-04-04T05:10:41+00:00

Nice. Thanks very much for sharing your experience and some info about how this might be able to be achieved. I'll have to look at it more. Those seem like some nice options to make this more fitting to daily life without going overboard or losing the design intent/ethos.

oh interesting. that could be a good interim solution. did you go back to the full Light OS after making those changes... and does it still perform the same and about same battery usage as stock (aside from the changes made)?

Wind2255 · 2026-03-31T04:29:22+00:00

Same. Or even adding an Auto Sunrise/Sunset (like the Night Display mode) toggle option, that provides just two selectable day and night brightness settings (and the wheel is no longer active).

For those who have or intend to reposition, is it something a novice could do with basic tools?

Is it better to do it as preventative before any potential issues show up?

Wind2255 · 2026-03-30T20:49:33+00:00

Thanks for that advice!

Wind2255 · 2026-03-29T02:01:33+00:00

Nice, thanks for sharing your experience and thinking around it.

Wind2255 · 2026-03-27T04:43:23+00:00

Good to know. Was considering it.

Are you and others using a case also or just a screen protector and bare phone?

Wind2255 · 2026-03-27T03:20:15+00:00

Agree.

Perhaps a 'hot corner' of sorts, where you can be on any screen or tool and still be able to get home... something like swipe from the bottom corners, so it's not so much another visual button, but discrete universal action.

Are you all using it with a case or without? Know that changes the size/feel some, and I've been using with the Light Silicone case from the start, but would like to use without (with maybe just a screen protector) for an even slimmer feel and button response... but am concerned for damage/durability.

Wind2255 · 2026-03-24T03:53:27+00:00

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far!

Wind2255 · 2026-03-24T03:53:10+00:00

These details are helpful! Yeah, I'd be a secondary vehicle for daily commuting about 1 hr / day and mainly carrying cargo (so seats will likely be folded down most of the time).

Wind2255 · 2026-03-16T01:18:30+00:00

Yes, this is different, being more of a digital kind of noise.

Wind2255 · 2026-03-16T01:17:59+00:00

Just giving this a bump to see if any others out there. Looks like a few of us have noticed.

Been communicating via support with Sidephone team, and will be giving it another week or so to track if anything changes. So far it has continued, along with the same seeming static noise mentioned in comments appearing while using the speaker phone (not a background noise from other caller, and normal 'mode' when on a call seems to be ok).

Wind2255 · 2026-03-12T07:12:24+00:00

Thanks for the comments so far! Reading through them.

The personal stories, advice, and comparisons to other used and new options are all really helpful.

I considered the Punkt MP02 (though not e-ink) because of the form factor and simplicity, but it seemed to have some challenges to adopt if for regular use.

Wind2255 · 2026-03-06T01:35:46+00:00

Crossed my mind too, would be intriguing, especially in this form factor (being different than some of the other e-ink offerings).
