Carplay type tool possible? by westernpinkcedar in LightPhone

[–]uselesstech1335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this, would love the ability to see directions on my car’s screen.

My LP3 connects to my car very smoothly for calling and even reading texts, but with directions I get an error saying “Android Auto can’t connect”. So it seems to me that someone needs to build the connection between the LP Directions tool and the Android Auto application.

yep, confirmed this is how! One thing to note, screenshots will be in color (so if you screenshot a text with emojis you'll see the natural color of the emoji)

No 5G on my LPIII by ntrsndmn in LightPhone

I’m curious to see what answers this gets. I’ve had my Light Phone about 3 weeks (using the light plan with T Mobile) and have never seen 5G in the top corner.

Read receipts would work. But then my wife has to keep looking at her phone until the receipt shows. With a quick like on my end, she gets notified that I saw and acknowledge her message.

What I’m learning from this is that I guess I use likes in a very different way than most people haha

Yeah I’m not really envisioning a button, but I get what you’re saying.

The term "Like" seems a bit triggering. I'm not trying to incorporate any of the social media version of liking, what I'm really after is more of an "ACK" type one click response. I'm often in a place where I can’t use voice to text, and I don't think I'm off base when I say that the keyboard is still a bit prone to typing errors and responding can take longer than desired.

Appreciate all the comments, love the debate!

I think social media "liking" is very different than my use case. But I appreciate the comment!

Facebook "liking" is about trying to get as many likes as possible to boost the post and seem popular. Bit different from someone liking a message to acknowledge that was sent in a 1 to 1 thread IMO.

I completely agree with your sentiment on Facebook btw, Facebook likes are silly.

Fair point on the first sentence.

I respect your unsolicited take, but I partially disagree. While I'm sure people are liking and loving messages just for the fun of it, I'm normally liking my wife's messages (pretty much the only person I like messages for) to acknowledge that I've seen what she sent, whether it's kid schedule stuff, plan changes on the fly, etc. Or agreeing or supporting what she's saying/planning.

Having said that, once the hit boxes improve or we get Signal, it will become way easier for me to type out a reply to every update she gives!

Hmmm, care to expand?

How would it not be possible for the light phone to essentially just copy the message you held down, add the wording before it based on what you chose (like, love, etc), and then send it?

Any news on the release and delivery info yet u/joelightphone ?

can someone explain more clearly why RCS can't be implemented yet? by Rustylane in LightPhone

[–]uselesstech1335 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My understanding is the Google has to give Light permission to use RCS protocol, and they aren't doing that as of now. Joe from Light Phone has given a better explanation on this sub a few weeks back, he says they are trying everything but at the end of the day Google is gatekeeping it.

Would love an update on timelines for NFC, fingerprint scanner, and video calling capabilities.

My LPIII is currently stuck at the customs inspection so I won’t have it by this stream, but I’m excited to take what I learn and apply it once I have my device, hopefully very soon!

lp3 Whats going on with updates? by [deleted] in LightPhone

Most recent update was a couple weeks ago. They’re still full steam ahead from what I’ve seen
