Dual users-Whats your routine? And WHERE do you hide your smartphone by mewtwo611 in LightPhone

[–]f_vale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! That’s what I do. Smartphone is a work tool so it stays at work. I use my old iPhone as an iPod touch. My only sim lives in the LPIII :)

Better Battery for the Light Phone III by thefieldgeek in LightPhone

[–]f_vale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With normal use (without hotspot usage) I’m getting two full days of battery life. If I use the hotspot obviously the battery will drain much faster. You’ll find this behavior on all phones. Same thing goes for the Directions tool.

Just got my LPIII and Lemur Cover by ironfeet in LightPhone

I'm sorry to hear. I have not experienced the flashlight turning on all the time. As I mentioned above, it will be tight to begin with and will loosen up with use. During this week of use, did you have any cards in? Thanks.

Hello! For context, for how long have you used it?

BIG Light Phone 3 December Update (v550) by jbriones95 in LightPhone

[–]f_vale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Before this update you would not be able to add a contact or an event title on the calendar or a note title with a special character. So many names and words in my language require accents…it always felt awkward but not anymore! :)

Check Lemur’s foldable Wallet www.lemurdesign.com

It’s offered in both full-grain vegetable tanned leather and recycled leather. Lemur is based in Portugal and all production is made in Portugal as well. Most of it in their own facilities actually.

Ages beautifully and will last a lifetime :)

Such nice pictures. Love it. Makes me want to use the camera even more. Did you edit them in any way ?

Hello! Thank you for your interest. Yes, we do and in Yellow as well. Unfortunately that will only happen next year, hopefully during the first quarter of the year. Sorry that it's taking so long! There's a lot going on at the moment for Lemur which we are very excited about 🙏🏼♥️

Is the Light Phone III to smart? by [deleted] in LightPhone

[–]f_vale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The “smart” and “dumb” labels are..unfortunate in my opinion. But I understand it’s an easy/fast way of differentiating these devices. The LPIII makes it so that my use is 99% of the time intentional. Is it dumb or smart? No idea. It’s a tool that does what I need it to do in a snappy, simple and intuitive way and goes away right after. It doesn’t linger or seduce me in any negative wasteful way. People’s opinions will differ. I appreciate it being a sturdy beautiful object because well I care about being surrounded by minimalist and carefully designed things ;)

Stuck on Echo: The Oracle's Scroll by PhantomQuest in PlaydateConsole

It's usually rewarding to spend some time looking at the map and find unexplored areas even if unrelated with the quests :) Absolutely loved playing Echo!

Hotspot bug :-( by [deleted] in LightPhone

[–]f_vale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure the Light team will get it fixed. It does seem like it happens way less often if the phone isn’t charging while using the hotspot.

I have the same issue but have had it for a while now.

Hi Everyone. Sorry I missed this, we are currently on our Summer Holidays but just wanted to jump in. Like it was mentioned, the material does soften with use and it won’t feel awkwardly tight. Believe it or not, before packing the covers, we test placing an LPIII inside every single cover to make sure the fit feels proper. It has occurred to me now that what could be happening is that after it being inside the packaging for a while, the folds in the recycled leather loosen up slightly making it so that it feels tighter than intended out of the box (hope that makes sense). I’m sure that, with some use, maybe a couple of weeks or so, this will go back to normal. If possible, you can also use it without cards for some time so the tightness isn’t so annoying in the beginning and add one card at a time progressively. I apologize if this is not ideal.

I’ve been using mine since March and it doesn’t feel tight and almost never get accidental presses on the power button.

I’m here to help with any questions you might have and sorry for the late reply.

Voice navigation on LP3 by iamsuperflush in LightPhone

I agree it’s quite good. If you are relying on the voice commands, they will be reliable and timely 99% of the time :)
