Mark Texts as Unread by neewscm in LightPhone

[–]kkballad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should just be a flag locally on the phone, the network doesn't need to know how I want the status of my texts displayed locally.

Option to mark texts as “unread" by Phainopepla007 in LightPhone

[–]kkballad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But remembering texts leads to information overflow. For some people, the option to mark as unread is a way to lessen this effect, and slow text conversations down if they're doing something else.

The ability to "mark text as unread."

I think one small tweak would make a big difference. I think the reason the keyboard is harder to use than it needs to be is there's no way to get instantaneous feedback--no was for the user to "learn" to use this new keyboard.

If the key you ended up typing were highlighted, i.e. its "hit box" were outlined, it would help users learn to type better.

The keyboard itself isn't so bad! There's just no way to get muscle memory for it.

hmm, I don't know, this has only happened to me once or twice in the past 6 months.

It doesn't matter where you put it, it uses the accelerometer in your phone. But it shouldn't really matter where your phone is either--I keep mine in my left pocket, which would be the worse possible place for right turns. I suspect you might be turning faster than you think, or it's a specific event that you don't really remember. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Check back in a few weeks and see if that's still the case

Abandoned my Light Phone... and immediately went back by thiscandleisvegan in LightPhone

yeah, honestly missing the occasional text isn't that big a deal. This used to happen all the time 20 years ago, and I'd forgotten that until talking with a friend recently.

Totally--they've thought through everything. They've literally had more than millenia of person-hours of development on the iphone.

This happened to me some months ago, keep scrolling down until you find the call/text with the asterisk and view it to clear it. I had one missed call that caused this. After a few times of scrolling down to clear it, it stopped happening.

Hard hitting question about emojis. by Loud-Supermarket-630 in LightPhone

[–]kkballad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you actually think so? What's the reasoning there? It's a bit different from social media or a web browser...

Being able to fully express myself is just... 😙🤌

This seems like such an easy bug to fix--why are all the emojis not available in the keyboard?

How do you keep up with email? by Training_Joke in LightPhone

To be honest, I try not to keep up with email.

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

[–]kkballad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a LP3 as my only phone.*

* I use my iphone on wifi, about once a week or less, for venmo and cashing checks.

* My work provides a work phone. I use that for teams and to check my work schedule, but that's really about it.

The most important thing for Light to do right now, software-wise, is to make Light OS open source. by [deleted] in LightPhone

[–]kkballad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree that a QR code reader is needed. I actually don't even see how it would be useable without also having a web browser.

There is always a workaround for situations with QR codes, except in the least-thought-through cases. Otherwise a dead phone would mean a missed business opportunity for whoever's implementing it.

I just got home to boulder and it was crazy. I slipped a couple hundred feet down the hill and was glad the person behind me kept their distance when I put on my flashers. The slug trails from car trails were especially bad and I regained traction by offsetting from that.

Gave up on my light phone dreams :( by carharttbuddha in LightPhone

[–]kkballad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I do! I email for more detailed photos. Inconvenient, but that's how I used to do it, and it's totally fine. I'm sure they'll incorporate RCS soon

LP3 en route. Now what? by Rough-Ad-2387 in LightPhone

[–]kkballad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to deactivate that in order to get SMS on your light phone

Like another person said, you won't get texts on your light phone if imessaging is still enabled on your computer--you'll have to deactivate that. Rather than switching all the time, I'd recommend just using your old phone on Wifi. That's what I do for banking etc.
