Does the app work well with these phones? I'm currently on a Huawei and tempted to change to a Samsung and like the look of these flip phones, but the app isn't great on my current phone so I just wondered how well the app performed on these Flip phones?

Can you also use the widget to control playback of Amazon Music through the little screen on the front of the phone? I see from reviews that Samsung Music appears there by default, but I'm assuming Amazon Music doesn't get picked up by that...


Hi . I use Amazon Music on my Flip3. Works fine with no issues at all.

And yes you have to open Amazon Music with the phone open, to set it up, but then you can close it and can control the music on the front of the phone.


I really want to get a flip phone for a list of reasons. Cheaper bill, less distraction with social media, etc. But I very much enjoy my music and was wondering if anyone has found a good flip phone that could support Spotify, and if not, a reasonable substitute for a smart phone that can run both Spotify and supports Bluetooth


So I'm experimenting with a couple dumbphones, one of them being the LG Classic Flip. This phone runs a stripped down version of AOSP 8.1. The one app I would really like the most to have running on it is YouTube Music as it's my streaming platform of choice. (Just can't give up that grandfathered Google Play Music price).


I have been able to install modified APKs from apps4flip and have I believe successfully modified the YouTube music APK to bypass the signature check on the phone. It does start the install process but fails at the end every time with the unhelpful error of "App was not installed."


"Flip Phone" is a song by American recording artist Brooke Candy, her twenty-fourth single overall and intended as the lead single from her second studio album, which was originally slated for release in summer 2022.[1] The song was released on September 9, 2022, and marked Candy's first release of new music in nearly three years, her last being her debut studio album Sexorcism (2019).[2][3][4][5]


After the release of Sexorcism in October 2019, Candy embarked on a musical hiatus and took up tattooing as a hobby during the COVID-19 pandemic before pursuing a career of it.[6] In a November 2021 interview with Inked Magazine, Candy admitted to feeling ready to quit music in favor of a tattooing career during the pandemic, but that she had quickly changed her mind after old collaborators invited her back into the studio to create music.[6] She discussed her willingness to sign to another major record label after learning enough about the music industry and mentioned that she had been working on the production of her sophomore studio album in London.[6]






The official music video for "Flip Phone" was released on September 9, 2022, produced by Paper Magazine in collaboration with Gentle Monster and was self-directed by Candy herself.[4] Aesthetically, it was described by Paper Magazine as a "raunchy twist on Y2K nostalgia" and features Candy dressed in an outfit inspired by Lara Croft's black, long-sleeved outfit in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Candy also cited Pamela Anderson's depiction of Barb Wire in the 1996 superhero film of the same name as a major influence of the music video, as well as The Fast and the Furious and Æon Flux aesthetically.[9][10] Candy and her team rented a rain room in Los Angeles to record scenes where Candy performs on top of a "glittery pink car" in a chainmail bikini outfit.[2][10]


For music, you get an FM radio and an MP3 player, with 16GB of memory built-in, expandable to 256GB via a microSD card. You also get the latest Bluetooth version for excellent wireless headphone connections.


To better see phone numbers and other text details, the Jitterbug Flip2 is equipped with a more spacious 3.2-inch color screen and large print. And the red edition makes the Flip2 easy to spot in a purse or bag.


I have a daughter, 7, and I'm trying to balance two opposing desires: (1) that she be contactable when I'm running late to pick her up, when plans have changed about where we'll meet after school, etc.; and (2) that she be kept away from phones, GPS, and especially social media for as long as possible. I see articles about these basic smartwatches for kids, and I'm intrigued, but it's still a screen, still a distraction on her person all the time.... do the costs outweigh the benefits? Have you seen any research on watches for kids? Is the basic smartwatch the gateway drug to device addiction? I'm only half kidding.


Was there anything more satisfying in the early 2000s than finishing up a conversation and slamming your RAZR shut?4 Flip phones are no longer, shall we say, cool, but they do still exist, and for some kids, are a good non-smartphone option. For the most part, they allow only calls and texting (specifically, the thumb-numbing T9 kind), but no group texting.


What about studies looking at the age that kids get their first smartphones? Could we take these studies and infer something about the right age (and potential harms) of introducing a new device? Not really. There are very few of these studies. The ones we do have tend to use cross-sectional or retrospective designs (like this one), and show no differences in outcomes between kids who got smartphones earlier versus later.


Flip phones are simple, sturdy, and last a long time on a single charge. A few downsides: no group texting (a dealbreaker for older tweens) and (for some) highly embarrassing to use in public when your peers have smartphones. Also, some popular flip phones (e.g., the Alcatel SmartFlip) come pre-loaded with Google Assistant, so your kid would have unmonitored access to YouTube. This, in my mind, defeats the purpose of a flip phone.


An unexpected side effect of writing this post is that I am now considering getting myself a kid smartphone. Seems like a good way to reduce distractions! My one reservation is the lack of Google maps. I have flashbacks to once trying to drive somewhere in high school (pre-smartphone), and getting so violently lost that I pulled over to the side of the road, turned off the car, and just sat there. This is where I live now, I thought. I eventually called my parents, who were somehow able to direct me home, but the memory (clearly) stuck with me.


Let\u2019s talk about the in-betweeners. That stage, ages 7 to 12 (or so),1 when kids are no longer singing along to Daniel Tiger from your family\u2019s iPad, but are also ill-prepared to plunge headfirst into the smartphone abyss. It\u2019s a common time for some parents to start wondering about getting their kid\u2014gasp\u2014a device. A kid smartwatch, for example, or a basic flip phone.


With tech decisions, it feels like the volume of other parents\u2019 judgements are set to an even higher decibel. If we choose to forgo pre-smartphone devices for our kids, we are total luddites, idiotically dismissing new technology like Larry David in that super bowl commercial. If we choose to get the devices, we are, of course, soulless, tech-pushing satanists.


We\u2019re focusing here on three types of devices: kid smartwatches, flip phones, and kid smartphones.3 I\u2019ll call these \u201Cpre-smartphone devices.\u201D There are, of course, less portable devices your tween child might have access to (tablets or iPads, laptops, desktop computers), but those involve slightly different considerations.


These phones, like the Gabb Z2, look like smartphones, but their features are much more limited. For example, most kid smartphones (also called \u201Cdumb\u201D phones) have no browser or app store, which means no social media, no YouTube, no games, no websites.5 They typically allow texting (including group texts) and calls, and in most cases have a camera and music-listening capabilities.


Kid smartwatches, like the GizmoWatch6, are designed for kids age 5 to 10. In most cases, feature are extremely limited. Think: accepting calls only from pre-approved numbers (i.e., you), pairing to your smartphone so you can track their location, and sending pre-set text message (e.g., \u201CI\u2019m ready to get picked up\u201D). Many offer an (important) feature to put the watch on \u201Cdo not disturb\u201D during certain times of day.


But this is a classic study design issue. Kids who get smartphones earlier likely differ from those who get them later\u2014in terms of family setup, maturity, socioeconomic status, etc. We can\u2019t say much without a randomized controlled trial that assigns some kids to get phones and other not to. As far as I\u2019m aware, this study doesn\u2019t exist.
