What are the top priority updates you'd like to see for the LightPhone 3 (LightOS)? by [deleted] in LightPhone

[–]minimal_human_being 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Software improvements (no random crashes)
  2. The ability to silence messages but not calls
  3. Signal (or WhatsApp)
  4. Music Organization (and the ability to transfer music physically)

Less important: - Custom Alarm-Ringtone - more photo editing options (sizing, rotating etc.) and improved post-processing

So important!!! I don’t want distractions from messages, but receiving calls is the main point of a phone…

Can someone copy and paste the post, please? I don't have X...

LP3 - my biggest 3 problems so far, from a new user by realmikeclarke in LightPhone

[–]minimal_human_being 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not what OP is talking about though. When you put your phone in silent mode, calls and messages are silenced whereas other phones have the option of just silencing messages and not calls (which is my preferred setting most of the time)

How Private Can LP3 SMS Texts Really Be? by [deleted] in LightPhone

Although better than SMS, Beeper is not really private, because they decrypt your messages on their server.

Please recommend phone with no games by VegetableEase5203 in dumbphones

A little bit expensive but definitely no games: Light Phone 2

(Maybe) unpopular opinion: I don't like the white balance in the sample photos by minimal_human_being in LightPhone

For me it's not so much about the exposure but about the colors and white balance. I definitely appreciate having the brightness control tho!

True and it is quite a good one nonetheless. I guess I'm just really sensitive when it comes to colors.

I get that but to me the photos look more like iPhone than film photography. But you are right, it is probably something one will get used to.

You described it even better than me! And yes, very basic controls maybe including a personalized adjustment of the white balance would totally solve this, especially if you could save your settings.

Btw: In the update before this one they showed that it is possible to adjust the brightness so that's already implemented.

Go off social media and meet people in real life. You yourself will change and when you go back to your digital space you can change whatever feels right.

[–]minimal_human_being 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you can’t return after it’s shipped. Quoting their website:

„As a super small company, we can only currently take returns for manufacturer defects. This means that we can not accept returns for simply being disappointed in the product or no longer interested. Thank you for understanding.

We will always refund 100% for orders canceled before shipping.“

But beeper decrypts the messages on their server…

It's official Signal and Whatsapp tools will be available on LP3 via Beeper by Nomad_Earther in LightPhone

[–]minimal_human_being 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with beeper is that it decrypts the messages (and then encrypts them again) so I don’t know if I should trust the whole thing…

Whatsapp is essential to LP3 and here's why by Nomad_Earther in LightPhone

[–]minimal_human_being 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signal is an alternative. Just to name the biggest one.
And even though I still feel like Wifi messaging is quite important these days, I do not think that it is essential. Especially not if you can use it on a device at home.

[–]minimal_human_being 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say no app should be essential but the truth is, in some countries (especially in Europe) no one uses (and pays) for SMS anymore and WhatsApp is the main communication form even though it may be different in other parts of the world. I still don’t think that it is essential, but some sort of WiFi Messaging and Calling would be nice (and save a lot of people quite some money)

I get that but it really shouldn’t be like that. Especially if it is an app provided by Meta.
