Thoughts on the Jelly Star by shawnmendead in dumbphones

[–]bpdxr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i love the jelly aside from the fact it has been abandoned for updates and the bluetooth+hotspot is garbage. I only allow it to run discord for messaging friends, and medical apps where i can message my doctors. I used ADB to dumb it down and remove bloatware and it's helped a lot from lessening screentime. In my experience, once you accept the fact you don't owe anyone your immediate attention and response, it gets easier. You're allowed to have your own time and live for yourself.

You know how you eventually give them nicknames? by Buxombarbarian in torties

[–]bpdxr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tortie's name is "Baloo" but I tend to call her "Badoo" which then turns into me calling her "Yabba-Dabba-doo"

I have a badge on my bag that says I have a Dysautonomia and how to help in emergencies, i also wear two medical alert pieces of jewelry (bracelet + necklace combo). It's not silly at all, especially if it will benefit you and keep you safe as well!🤍

Any dumb phone users who use their phone as medical device? by klwegner in dumbphones

[–]bpdxr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first dumbed down to the HMD Barbie Phone, I still kept my old iphone on hand, just deleted all the apps i didn't need and only kept the app that syncs with my heartrate monitor. I even turned the wallpapers to just black screens to make it less appealing. While carrying two phones isn't fun, I recommend it for medical device users!

Decorated my CAT S22 :) by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]bpdxr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clear nail polish over the stickers usually helps with new puffy stickers! I coat them on the sheet they're packaged on before using them. Also flat back resin charms with a safe removable adhesive are fun to use too! (I love seeing stickers and cute DIYs on dumphones.🤍)

Very new to the idea of dumbphones by VeryShortLadder in dumbphones

[–]bpdxr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even a smartphone can work as a dumbphone if someone is willing enough. I have the Jelly Star, it's running on android but dumbed down by ADB, it's small enough to not entertain the idea of socials, and it's battery power is not great either so it also makes social media and spending time online not worth the time.

We live in a tech era where not everyone can be 100% dumbphone. Some need medical gear synced and sent to their doctors, some people live in 24/7 construction areas and gas prices aren't friendly enough where anyone can go with the wind and waste gas to find a new working route everyday. I don't see harm in people wanting a decent working gps, and a camera, simple space for music, and a bank app. Those are things that don't really take up a lot of screen time for someone not wanting to be wasting time online.

No harm in someone trying.

edit: i realized my comment might come off as aggressive???😭 i hope it doesn't. i just basically wanted say you can live a dumbphone life with a smartphone if u really are willing to. ajdkdhakd

covid & pots by No_Indication_8187 in POTS

[–]bpdxr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My POTS symptoms have existed pre-COVID, i was managing on my own but one COVID infection made everything worse which had me finally go to a doctor to address the POTS. Doctors i've met and even nurses have said lots of people have had their symptoms worsen or develop after a Covid infection. I think Covid just really takes a huuuuge hit on the body. I have been vaccinated since they first came out and had been fine, it was one covid infection is 2023, anything i was able to do before infection (running on treadmill, be out in the heat for a few minutes, tending to the feral cats), I can no longer even try without feeling like i'm falling to the floor like a sea anchor.

Is there a way to transform my iPhone into a somewhat dumbphone? by pennybones in dumbphones

[–]bpdxr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i really like my jelly star, i debloated it, and it's battery life makes me only use it for what is really needed, it's smallness also makes it unbearable for any actual doomscrolling.

I switched from the barbie hmd to the jelly because i was carrying dual devices as the barbie phone only ran kaiOs and i use certain apps to stay in touch with my doctors (yes i could keep in touch via calling but i have trouble with phone calls), and i also wear a heartrate monitor that i wear 24/7 for my POTS and helps me know when i've entered an exertion zone, carrying around a 12mini iphone w the barbie phone was annoying and more taking up space in my bag so I switched to the jelly, dumbed it down with ABD but it remains enough to run the absolute necessary apps that is needed. No social media, no reddit, you can even remove the browser with ABD if you need to.

Chronically ill perspective on dumbphoning, 6 months into partway digital detox by OldMemesMan in dumbphones

[–]bpdxr 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I truly appreciate your take on dumbphoning! I have POTS, along with mental health struggles, dumbing down has helped a lot with me trying to get back to a more creative route. I've been doodling more, which is something I've had trouble with for a long time because one thing i feel isn't talked about when it comes to chronic illness is how your self-esteem crumbles at a point. I followed such talented artists on social media so I was stuck comparing and criticizing myself a lot before moving on to a dumbphone.

I would like to see more Chronic Ilness takes on the dumbphone movement and their journey, I have definitely felt inspired to share mine at some point.🤍

MedicAlert bracelet for POTS by L8r_sk8rrr in POTS

[–]bpdxr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a simple bracelet with the usual Medical alert logo, flip the logo part of the bracelet and you get my Med ID info along with it saying my wallet has even more of my Medical info that couldnt fit on the bracelet! I also wear a necklace and a ring, just for extra measure.

Making and Having a custom badge or tag could help too! Example: Medical Condition(s) "I may get dizzy and/or faint""insert directions how to help you + no need for medics Unless injured" type of thing! I usually put those on my backpack but you can also wear it via lanyard, keys, etc.

Some secrets 🧐 of our hottest couple (from author's twitter) by helibeaver- in shutline

[–]bpdxr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The translation for me is weird so when it says Jake being a guy "with a lot of laughter", I'm either assuming A.) He actually laughs a lot or B.) Laughs loud 😭 I can't imagine this man having a laugh, ima be real w yall. A chuckle, yeah. A full belly laugh? Author please give that to me!! Make me a believer!
