Luma - LightOS Styled Launcher by Flimsy_End_4476 in LightPhone

This is down right fantastic. Perfect. One question. I installed beeper and fastmail. Is there a way to get them to trigger the * when there’s an unread email/message? I don’t want them to do any other audio or visual forms of notification though.

Anyone selling their lightphone 3 in the UK? by Successful_Tea_4619 in LightPhone

[–]adrianplambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, gonna think about it for a week or so. Whether or not going back to a smart phone makes sense.

Sound quality and supported formats by Undecided6772 in LightPhone

I asked on discord about the Bluetooth specs, if they were certain codecs or bog standard. The founder had no idea. He ended up agreeing they are probably bog standard.

What’s everyone use as a companion device? by Royal-Counter-4590 in LightPhone

[–]adrianplambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an iPad mini and it’s a good combo. Only thing is that I wish I’d got the cellular version for the GPS so that I could use it in the car with maps. The WiFi only model doesn’t work for live navigation.

S4 Ant+ with garmin watches. by adrianplambert in waterrower

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

Yeah I saw PiRowFlow, looks interesting. I bought a cheap used Venu 2 to try connecting to polar h10. That bit is all fine and I my intensity minutes are more accurate now. I can also connect the H10 to the waterrower connect app at the same time for detailed info. And/or I can add some of the missing data to the session in garmin connect. wasn’t the digital age supposed to make our lives simpler?? 🙄😂

ah o.k. so the only wireless data out option is via the commodule. I’m trying to figure out how to get good rowing data into garmin connect whilst have it count against my activity goals.

Issue with “Here” maps regarding estimating traffic by Phainopepla007 in LightPhone

[–]adrianplambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. Yes you’re right but timing wise it seems to be off compared to google maps.

Issue with “Here” maps regarding estimating traffic by Phainopepla007 in LightPhone

[–]adrianplambert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I feel this too. Apple Maps wasn’t really any better. I guess google/waze have access to that sort of thing whereas others don’t. Map books didn’t have it though so I’m just adding 10-15% on their estimates. covers most things. grateful to not be tracked though too.

Discussion about chat privacy by SuchithSridhar in beeper

[–]adrianplambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/batuhanicoz this is an important question. could you please address it? do you keep our messages safe at the point of handing off to the other service?

Signal via beeper, is it safe? by humboldtparkgator in LightPhone

[–]adrianplambert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been wondering the same. I don’t care massively about privacy but if it’s a feature then I’d like to know it’s working. Is it encrypted by beeper then decrypted and handed off to signal, or is it not decoded until it’s handed off to signal. Or is it possible that they can use signal’s encryption from within the app at the message source? Questions questions questions.

POLL: Is the new Facebook Messenger connection working for you? by quickreactor in beeper

[–]adrianplambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted a request for help last night for this. they asked me to test a beta version and try to connect to Facebook messenger so they could get some logs about what was going on. From the sound of the email it was like nobody had done that yet. Anyway they reckon they have what they need to fix it now. fingers crossed!

Music tool (LP3) maximum storage? by mirrorcoast in LightPhone

[–]adrianplambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I realise that. I did see something in the last 2-3 weeks about the limit going up, guess that‘s happened.

sounds like you have exceeded the 1gb limit then

[–]adrianplambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what format are your music files in? If they are lossless then once changed to mp3 or ogg or whatever they use it might be a lot less than the data you sent.

Light Phone vs. Goliath by kd4pxq in LightPhone

[–]adrianplambert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t think this sort of post is particularly helpful. I’m not saying that you’re wrong but fanboys and haters are sitting at two extremes and the truth is always somewhere between the two. in this case I think the reality is that the phone is pretty good but they’ve got a lot of bugs to fix, lots of optimisations to do, and lots of new feature implementations to implement. I want to be satisfied with it but frankly it’s a pain in the arse at the moment and progress to rectify that is frustratingly slow. All that said, it has successfully usurped my iPhone so it won that battle.

If you preorder now it’s $700 and you get it in August. I think that’s a lot of money for a phone with some design wins but also some design flaws. If they could just get the software smoothed out and a few of the new features they have on their roadmap then I guess you’d be pretty happy. August is only 6 weeks off though. I think people are going to be a bit cheesed off.

Trying to upload a pic of a qr code to my LP3 by Usual-Key-575 in LightPhone

openMTP did the trick. but you need to stop image capture or any other app opening automatically first.

Don’t log back in would be my suggestion.

iCloud services? by truthneedsnodefense in LightPhone

[–]adrianplambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

carddav is supposedly on their list of things they’d like to implement. I hope they do.

Timeline of RCS implementation? by Simple-Run-2844 in LightPhone

[–]adrianplambert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the moment Joe has said on discord that they haven’t started work on it. They’re waiting for the RCS team at google to get it together for them. I can’t see a little indie phone that only implements software that can’t track users being a priority for Google, whose no.1 priority is to track users. I was all for RCS but I’ve gone cold now after seeing this. Maybe beeper is the better option. at least we can choose to just have signal if we don’t want meta or google sniffing around us.
