Eu não consigo entender o vídeo porque eu falo português. Mas eu traduzi o seu comentário. Eu sou uma pessoa viciada em smartphone e estava pensando em comprar um celular simples só para ligar e mandar SMS. Eu não consigo controlar o meu uso no smartphone. Eu admito, sou um viciado! Isso consome todo o tempo da minha vida! Eu realmente preciso de ajuda!

well said

Why didn’t you buy a 60 dollar Nokia? I think the LP2 is unnecessary expensive. In the end it is all about disconnecting and not about a fashion hype like the LP2.

@@rob2662 just my .02 - I just sold my iPhone 12 Pro Max and ordered a Light Phone 2. After weighing the options I decided the LP2 was the better choice over a regular feature phone due to the super simple UI and E-ink screen. I want the device that replaces my smartphone to be as simplistic as possible - a lot of the really cheap feature phones still have a lot of pre-loaded bloatware and spyware crammed in there. Lastly, I think what Light Phone Inc is doing is worth supporting - I would rather give my money to a small company run by a handful of people trying to do something different than another huge corporation.

Good luck on the journey!

How did you get on

They will be improving the directions this Q1 2023, so keep the LP2 close by :)

@@JoseBriones Yes!!! It's close by, can't wait to try it out again! The form factor is the best!

Different markets have different options that work. Many of the inexpensive devices simply do not work in North America anymore.

Thanks for that!

all the thing we would want from a kaios but google looks like ditching it

Do you know if these phones have a camera? All I really want is talk, text, maps, camera. I’m trying to transition into not spending too much time on my iPhone. I deleted Fb app and deactivated Fb. KZfaq also consumes my time. And shopping! I no longer want my email And all connections on my phone. Thanks for any advice!

Or you could go to the contact list 🤦🏾‍♂️

Yeah. Those cheap Chinese devices may not work everywhere and have any support from carriers or the companies themselves if they break

Not all are super expensive. The expensive ones are due to customer service and support. They have it and it’s good instead of buying something that’s $50 and never hearing from the company again.

I found mLauncher recently and its all ive wanted. Its a 2mb launcher with quick launch and app list. A couple gestures and thats it.

"Simpletools" on android 👌

That's what I use! Gives it a feel similar to a light phone but I can have messaging apps I need to keep in touch with my friends, and can get rid of any distracting apps alongside it

Answer: *NOWHERE* 😂

what do you think is the best dumb phone for music? this is one of my concerns as well.

Good idea. I'll keep that in mind for the future!

A rom for the jelly device or the cat s22 would be perfect!

Beware, the browser on the 225 cannot handle most current web pages at all.

2780 has KaiOS and WhatsApp. 225 has not. But the key should be only calling and texting. What is the use if you have to browse on such a tiny slow screen. Then you get frustrated, you throw the dumbphone away and younger on the smartphone again. What I do: 1. I remove my simcard from my smartphone. I now can still use WhatsApp on WiFi. 2. When I go out I use my Nokia 225 for calling and texting. No more connected and tracking fuss underway… 3. When I come home I read my messages. If things are really important, someone will call me. 4. Or I download Spotify songs and take the smartphone on airplane mode with me, as a music player and sometimes as a camera. Now you maybe have the best of both worlds.

Where did you find that info ? Just curious

Cool. I'll look into it.

How do you know that? I've heard good things about the duraxve

Xiaomi is best if you need apps like WhatsApp.

Glad it is working for you!

It’s a personal preference. Some of us just prefer simple phones, but discipline is definitely a part of it.

Ghostmode.us does this.

Rob Braxman Tech on youtube (his website offers degoogled phones or they can provide a service to degoogle some specific Android models).

You can buy degoogled phones. Or you can make your own. I have a Pixel 4 with Graphene OS. Zero google services.

@@redshed2020 I meant for feature/flip phone devices that run android. Something that is both portable, non distracting and at the same time you have access to android apps through some place like fdroid.

@Pete Testube You would need either micro g or sandboxed google play services to pull something like that off.

How bulky is the s22 in your pocket? I’m considering one but it looks really bulky.

@@thecheeseman31415 Not bulky at all. I would say that the average smartphone is more bulky in due to width and length. This phone is similar in scale of a small brick phone of the late 1990s and 2000's. When I compare it to scale with my 96' Motorola Startac, the S22 is only slightly larger in scale. This phone does way more than the average flip phone/brick of the decades listed due to it's Mil-spec capabilities. You do not need a armored case for this cell as with other phones on the market as the shell of this phone is made like one from factory. The phone is dust proof, water resistant and, water proof. The battery cover is removable and, has a huge, thick gasket sealing around the battery cover to prevent water from seeping into the battery chamber. In more detail, the S22 is nearly the same length as the Startac-including the antenna. Both cellphones are nearly the same height when closed due to my startac's external, front facing battery. When the phone is flipped open, it is thicker than the startac of 96'.

You need to search for ADB remove bloatware. Plenty of tutorials on how to remove all of this stuff without root.

Probably the Kyocera Dura XE or the Jelly 2

​@@JoseBriones Thank you for the reply!

Not possible.

Glad to hear the CAT S22 is working for you! Ghost Mode is a customized phone that has no apps, no app store, nothing. Just calls text, offline music player, local calendar. Nothing else. You can customize it, but from factory is super basic.

I think the TCL Flip 2 is better if you can find them unlocked.

@@JoseBriones thanks...yeah, the Flip 2 is hard to find hehe...

Just found it at Walmart here on my island of Hawaii, for $30...I like that it has the virtual cursor/mouse and gets certain features like KaiWeather, News, think can do FB/YT, Waze is good for navigation...I just don't know if my NTC fitness app or McDs app will work on there, or my 2 work apps...would the Schok be better at that?

No full keyboards nowadays. Carriers and manufacturers haven't released any new ones. Sorry.

$$. It’s not a very profitable business to make QWERTY keyboards. That’s why most manufacturers are not doing it.

Search for ADB and learn how to use it. The Android Debug Bridge allows you to do a lot of things :)

Jelly Star. It's small, but it will reduce your screentime

​​​​@@JoseBriones thanks! But jelly star still available to connect to the cloud and it kinda worst looking! I just want to skip all of social media and my location and searching history from Google or maybe annoying some dumbasses try to hacking my phone, that is the point! No wifi, no more 5g

Unihertz/Jelly only updates once. That's it. I've had both Jelly's--Jelly Pro and Jelly 2. I love the phone, get great battery life as a light/moderate user. I don't run a lot in the background.

Sorry then. Buy a minimalist phone that doesn't have the features.

They have not been reliable in support per some feedback I've gotten. And it seems like they are not developing anything further. I may be wrong, but this is the feedback I've gotten.

Kyocera or Sonim have been the best in my experience.

@@JoseBriones Thanks.

Yep. You can put a prepaid plan. Not in the US, but anywhere else yes.

If she has an iPhone, maybe that's why? I don't know the specifics, but sometimes iPhones need to reset the conversation in order to make it work.

At the time they had a major issue with their hinge and needed to correct it. They have since corrected it and are going to start shipping the new hardware version very soon :)

Check out ghostmode.us as it is a similar concept and actually more likely to be in stock.

I have the xp3 plus (Upgraded from the original xp3), great phone for calling and texting and really durable. Nothing to complain about with these devices

I have one. Just beware, the browser included is completely useless for today's web technology. Otherwise, I like it's very small design. 👍

@@pay9011 no problem for me, I'm not planning on using a browser. Going back to the middle school days of having a phone! Have you been having the other issues I've heard this phone has, like the timestamp problem or the group messaging mess?

@@go-beyond_plus-ultra Yes. It does have some issues, including the time stamp one.i don't message much with it and just mentally adjust 3 hours. The web apps don't seem usable. I bought it to use with Tello just for pocket sized cell phone use. If you need it to something in particular it might not. Best to read a lot of reviews. Tello required voLTE which is sometimes iffy for me.

It should have enough bands to work well. But check their pdf documentation to figure out if the bands match with your telecom provider.

Exclusively Available at T-Mobile USA. this what included in their websie, so, its locked to T-mobile network only

@@fujuae I see. It seems that I can pick this as my new phone though, thank for both of you. Have a nice day!

Sonic XP3 is your best bet. You’ll need a virtual mouse, but that’s the only one that I can think of at the moment. Maybe the Doro 7030 as well.

Yes. You'll receive some updates, but don't hold your breath for continuous updates. They will be very few.

@@JoseBriones Ah gotcha, thanks for the response, Jose. Have a good one.

Nokia 225 4G

Xiaomi is about $90

Most of those don’t have LTE and they don’t work in North America.

I am not 100% on this, but I do remember that someone has been using the boost AT&T SIM with the Light Phone. I think someone posted this info on the Light Phone subreddit.

@@JoseBriones thanks, I'll check it out. Your reply time is incredible, btw!

The Light Phone has public transport via the directions app. Maybe something like the CAT S22 where you can customize things would be best for you. The Flip form factor is less distracting, but it works for the basics and a couple of apps.

Yes.

NFC and Fingerprint(for banking Apps) would be very nice! I hope it comes in the near Future. 😁
