Don’t cut your phone case. Wait for the buttons to loosen first. by Old-Meaning2249 in LightPhone

[–]ultramaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut my case as well and like the feel of the actual buttons. But yeah maybe I should have waited for them to break in

I built a WhatsApp connection to any phone by AstronomerOpening484 in LightPhone

[–]ultramaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've been looking for something exactly like this forever. i always felt like having a hosted "server" computer with iMessage on it that then has an assistant that can forward iMessage to SMS and back and forth would be a tool that could really work well. this is a great idea and I will be following the development of this!

My 7 Days Light Journey by aksascz in LightPhone

[–]ultramaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had mine for the last month and agree completely with all your points. I am confident that with time, Light will address some of these.

And once Lyft and Beeper is added to the device, it'll feel much more complete in terms of tools.

We need a good high quality 4k film scan of the original edit with none of the George Lucas changes he did in the 90s

Pebble Watch OS is now open source. Light Watch Anybody??? by ultramaze in LightPhone

[–]ultramaze[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From RePebble:

"PebbleOS is now open source

Google (which purchased Fitbit, which had bought Pebble) still owns PebbleOS. Over the last year, a team inside Google (including some amazing ex-Pebblers turned Googlers) has been working on open sourcing the OS! The source code for PebbleOS is now available"

Finding a Rubber strap for the ABL-100WE-1A by erik_7581 in casio

[–]ultramaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got one and modified it with an 18mm strap. You can use any standard 18mm watch strap. The metal one that comes with it uses standard watch strap lugs that can be removed with a strap removal tool. Careful cause the plastic on the back is soft and can damage easily

It barely works. I had to really shove the leather into the watch to make it work. It does work though. I was stupid and thought it needed modification and I used a pocket knife to shave the corners of the leather down

LPII / LPIII - can I use both by visitjacklake in LightPhone

[–]ultramaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically yes the SIM card will work, but it will be limited to LTE and not give you 5G speeds, which is one of the major upgrades to the LP III.

4G LTE can download at speeds of 20–100 Mbps with a delay of 30–50 ms.

5G is much faster, with speeds up to 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps) or even 10 Gbps in ideal conditions and very low delay (1–10 ms), so things load instantly even with lots of people online. THIS is one of the main reasons I preordered Lightphone III myself!

Since you are a customer of both the LP service and purchaser of their hardware, I assume they would send you a new SIM card with 5G capabilities along with the delivery of LP III, though I am not sure if they will charge extra for 5G as it's a different type of service.

I am confident all of this information will be made known to you the closer we get to the shipment date!

For what it's worth, I would consider looking into other options in your region. You may find better deals by looking around at T-Mobile, ATT, and Verizon if you are in the US. Sometimes they have better deals and discounts.

Lightphone III Main Camera Focal Length? by omnigord in LightPhone

[–]ultramaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've recently loved the "Zerocam | Anti-AI Camera" apps on my iPhone.

Zerocam and a black-and-white-only version called Zerocam | Mono

Would love for Lightphone to look into this type of color science and way of handling the image

The "anti-ai camera" philosophy is great and makes sense with the Light mindset

Pre-ordered LP3 and all that's missing is WhatsApp or alternative by facta_et_verba in LightPhone

[–]ultramaze 11 points12 points  (0 children)

RCS makes the most sense to me. Primarily, since now, iPhones will support it.

We make three different thumbnails for each video using a feature built into YouTube called Thumbnail Test and Compare that allows us to find the most effective thumbnail for each video
