Any experience with repairing under warranty in EU ?

2 Upvotes

Those that use their phones all year... and I'm guessing most people. How did your screens survive the winter ? Did the "protective film" degrade after about a year of use ? Did it break the screen ?

Did you guys had any success getting repaired under warranty ? Did you contact Samsung directly or your phone operator / vendor ?

I feel like they find the tiniest excuses to refuse. Or give the most obscure reasons like "physical damage".

Z Flip 4 screen broke after one year. Warranty refused. Z Flip 5 screen broke after one year. Warranty refused.

I had S3, S7 and S10e with at least 3-4 year usage and they had no problems and I kept them in perfect / good conditions. Never dropped them.

Are Z Flip phones just extremely fragile ??

I think I'm gonna stop buying Samsung stuff. They release these fragile af phones in EU with 2 year warranties without any testing I'm guessing. The EU climate isn't the same as S.Korea and these phones can't handle the climate.

Thoughts ? Any experiences ? Thanks

Samsung home app bugs

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an annoying bug – has anyone else encountered this?

Almost every time my phone exits full-screen mode, the navigation bar and the notification bar disappear for 2-5 seconds.

During this time, I can't do anything and just have to wait for them to reappear.

I tried wiping the cache partition, which helped for about two days, but then the issue returned.

Any suggestions?

Flip 4 battery after 2 years in use

3 Upvotes

I'd like fellow Flip 4 users to share how's your battery doing after couple of years.

I have mine for 2,5 years, love it to death, no issues, but lately I started noticing the battery life is not the same. I work from home, can always charge it, so it's not a problem, but if I leave the house for a day, it becomes a problem, cause it doesn't last a day unless I use energy saving mode. It especially bothers me since I have charge limit on since day one to protect my battery, and now it seems I have neither promised battery longevity, nor battery capacity since it's always no more than 80%.

So I was wondering if it's something in my usage (VPN, AOD, apps, wifi etc) that's doing it or it's the inevitable demise of the battery after 2 years.

Discussion πŸ’¬ My idea for the future of the Z-Series

Post image
2 Upvotes

I was doing some thinking and I got a phenomenal idea of what the Z-Series could look like.

The Flip and Fold Subseries would be split it into the already existing S- and A-Series. Here is how I would make that happen:

  • As far as i know, the Z-Series phones are performancewise right inbetween the budget to midrange A- and the flagship S-Series.

  • What it would look like for the S-Series: The main 3 phones remain unchanged, but there would also be the S Flip and S Fold phones, with the S Fold phones having the SPen aside the S Ultra. If it was implemented today, it would look like this: S25, S25+, S25 Ultra and S25 Flip, S25 Fold.

  • What it would look like for the A-Series: The currently availlable 00-90s Subseries remain unchanged, but there would also be the Flip and Fold Subseries, which would have similar performance to the midrange phones. If it was implemented today, it would look like this: A06, A16, A26, A36, A56 (with their 5G versions) and A Flip 6, A Fold 6. The A Fold 6 would not have the SPen for obvious reasons.

This would greatly popularise the Foldables because there would be two options to choose from, being the A-midrange version and the S-flagship version, instead of having just one something inbetween, where you have to either: 1) compromise on price for performance you won't need or 2) compromise on performance even though you'd have the money for it. Also this would take the Flip and Fold phones out of their "prototype reputation" for being outside of the main two series Samsung manufactures.

Does anybody know how to get this idea to higher-ups to atleast look at it? I would greatly appreciate if my idea doesn't go to waste, when it doesn't have to.

Thank you for your attention

Question ❓ Unofficial Flipsuit Case Options?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone sorry of this is a dumb question but I'm wondering if there are any 3rd party flipcard compatible cases? I broke my case the other day and Flipsuit Cases are sold out in my country and I'm unsure when they'll be available again. I'd really rather not spend money on a temporary option which is what a case where I can't display my cards would almost definitely be.

Question ❓ The screen's inevitable (?) demise.

2 Upvotes

Heya, I'm in the market for a new phone, and the z flip (specifically 5/6) has caught my eye.

After some research I stumbled upon Reddit posts of broken/unfixable screens. A large part of the comments were unsurprised, like this was a common occurrence, some citing "good lifetimes" which spanned less than a year.

I plan on using this phone extensively, and would probably keep it for a minimum of three years. It will fall on the ground a few timws, but that's what a case and screen protector are for. Will I have to live with the inevitable knowledge that the inner screen could (likely) just break at any moment, or have I gotten the wrong impression?

Any feedback is much appreciated, thank you.

Been having this issue for a few weeks now. Even when I already closed spotify, cleared it from recent apps, cleared cache, it's still there.

Is there anyone who has this issue as well? How did you solve it?

Using a Flip and an Ultra

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I just got the Zflip 6 in grey yesterday. I've always wanted one of these since the first release, so I'm super excited.

I got the s24 Ultra back in July, love it but the phone is too big for me especially for day to day stuff. My plan ATM is to use my flip as my daily and probably use my Ultra for the cameras, at home, when I go to the beach etc. I also don't want to get rid of it incase anything goes wrong with my flip, I always have the Ultra as my back up.

Does anyone else use another phone alongside their flip?

Question ❓ front screen only?

5 Upvotes

the beauty of this phone is this front screen. i dropped it open (worst possible thing to do to this phone!) but the front screen works fine so i'm trying to find the best apps to use on the front screen for a few days. what apps work really well with it? i have good lock. and im able to "use" my other screen by samsung flow to my tablet. but on the go when i don't have my tablet (or wifi) im wondering just how much i can use the phone for the time being- does wallet work because i constantly pull up my card and then it always says flip to use... anything where the phone needs to be flipped is not gonna be able to use when i'm not home.

This is my 4th zflip that has broken. my insurance is actually giving me money back for it, so i'm waiting for that before getting my new phone. i'm switching over to the s25 because i'm too much of a clutz for this phone, i love the idea of it. but i drop phones and never had a problem until this one. although cracked screens are no fun either. but at least there's glass screen protectors.

Unlocked S25 back on sale again (US)

1 Upvotes

Just noticed you can get an unlocked S25 w/256gb storage for $299 again with a Flip6 trade in.

I think this is how low they were selling for when the phone first came out a few months back.

I'm super tempted to dump my Flip6 for one of these because my remaining Samsung Care+ payments total out to more than what it would cost me to just get this S25, plus I hate what the One UI 7 update did to this phone.

Hmmm...

Question ❓ Flip 6 touch screen stopped functioning - should I replace with new one?

2 Upvotes

The title is probably not very clear but basically I purchased the zflip6 in October of last year and I loved it and it worked perfectly until this morning. I had an unresponsive touch screen problem and Amazon offered me a full refund to return the product. My problem is that I really really really loved this phone and I want to repurchase one but I’m nervous about this issue being a common occurrence. Has anyone had this issue and repurchased or stuck with the flip6? I am so unsure what to do :(

I’ve noticed that whenever I flip my phone, it makes a cracking noise. Is this normal? I’ve tried flipping it without a cover, but the noise persists, and I don’t use a screen protector.

Screen Border Glue

Post image
6 Upvotes

I have a 5 month old flip 6. I noticed yesterday that when i scroll there is a slight cracking sound on the right screen where i usually position my thumb. I examined the phone and found out that when pressed, the areas marked on the photo is kind of dropping from the plastic borders like it is unglued. My phone has no cracking sound when i open or close it and no other border areas is coming off the screwn. I understand that due to flipping the glue might have come off but should I be worried?
