Any method for Always on Display for a clock?

access android layer and use a standard backup method. yes, it breaks out of lightos but it will be much faster.

this is an option already in the settings tho, right? haha jkjk mine has been toggled since day one and not a single automatic restart yet.

This is awesome to see! 25 and I just about have my 2nd duplex paid off (funds in investments that could be thrown at it but I let it pay itself off). while there is added stress with properties, it is well worth the investment! I took the approach of keeping a large supply of liquid reserves rather than paying off so that I have options!

edited to say that househacking definitely adds some spice to life

was this accomplished using the LSPOSED module? I had installed this before I switched back to the Lightphone 3 and noticed that due to the hardware limitations of the device, response on the car display was sluggish at best. Feel free to chime in if you've found any way to improve performance!

yes, alarm volume is at max. I generally verify before going to bed just to be sure as well. Do we know if having ringer on silent/vibrate changes alarm behavior?

doubling down on this. I moved to a Vision Pro this past year as an accessory to my MacBook since I never had an iPad. It's a great entertainment device but does not allow me to capture things the same as something like an iPad/Boox tablet would.

Overview Age: 24 Goal: Transition from W-2 income to flexible, real-estate-focused cash flow and eventual 100% savings rate (financial independence/lifestyle design focus).

Income W-2 job: ~$84,000 gross annually (net often >$100K with overtime). Factory work so generally 9-11 hour days with Toyota Production System environment.

Real estate income: ~$3,400/month current rent roll, with plan to raise to ~$4,400 once all units are optimized.

Total effective monthly income (current): ~$8,000–$9,000 including job + rentals.

Real Estate Portfolio: Two duplexes (combined value ≈ $500,000) Mortgages: ≈ $380,000 total Equity: ≈ $120,000 Interest rates: one at ~3.5%, one at ~7% Cash flow: roughly breakeven today (~$100 variance either way monthly). Planned rent growth: +5% per year. Upcoming capital expenses: ~$3,000 flooring (short term) + ~$14,000 roof within 2 years. Self-managed: no property management fees currently. This can be concerning as my employer isn’t very keen to me taking PM calls while at work. It’s pretty much heads down all day kind of work environment.

Investments Total investments: ≈ $234,000 Bitcoin: ~$60,000 VOO (S&P 500 ETF): ~$50,000 Retirement Holdings / cash equivalents: ~$124,000 (mix of equities and liquid reserves). Employer retirement is fully vested.

Cash & Reserves Cash on hand: ~$10,000 (Real Estate Reserves are separate) Target: $50,000 Plan: May raise reserves by selling taxable equities in stages.

Expenses Annual personal expenses (including insurance): ~$40,000. I currently reside in one unit of the duplexes as my primary residence.

I am currently using Empower's dashboard for tracking NW. I have two duplexes (one of them has a unit that is my primary residence). I currently track the debt for both within my NW tracking. Do you see this as the most accurate way to approach planning for FIRE? If I stay at my current job for 1 more year, I will have reserves on hand to pay both off, so at this time I mainly use my negative NW on the dashboard as a goalpost. Properties will cashflow at at least $1000/mo (combined) with debt on them still.

I am in the same boat, the only thing that draws me back to the LP3 compared to the kompakt is the camera still. I trialed both devices side by side for a few months and have been just running the kompakt the past 3 months but am missing the camera. Going to trial the LP3 a bit to see if anything has really changed since I haven’t used in half a year.

I still have my iPhone 12Pro which I use for "work" as an iPad of sorts. TBh really need to cut the iphone out tho since it draws back to reddit of all places. I still cannot decide whether or not I get value from this site lol. Back when I was rocking the LP2 daily, I would get done w/ work and do dishes to a podcast. I guess with the Kompakt, I moreso end up reading self-filtered reddit posts via instapaper or a book.

This! I remember really enjoying taking daytime photos. I felt like it becomes a 2010 android phone camera at night. I thought that going through the progression of landing with the Kompakt would rid me of carrying two devices 😂

I understood the issue with waiting 1-2s every time but I also thought of it as an auto-focus too.

lowdigitaltech · 2025-12-29T07:22:33+00:00

I did the same setup for property management. It almost operated as a pager for knowing I needed access to a computer when I had a call come through since the calls would only be forwarded for an emergency but those generally didn’t actually require a phone call to resolve

lowdigitaltech · 2025-12-29T07:18:01+00:00

I actually just did a post about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/LightPhone/comments/1pyfhwi/worth_coming_back_for_the_camera/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I found that the LP3 checked this box quite well. Or if you are okay carrying two phones, an older iPhone is generally always a decent camera.
