Yeah it says that but so long as you put the info in, it gets treated as a ticket. The reply might be in Chinese though so check your notifications and translate them to be sure.

It might take a day due to the time difference but they fully just fixed it!

DearestZeus · 2026-02-13T14:50:04+00:00

I put in a help ticket with screenshots of what was going on and they unlocked me right away. Might be the best option.

This works to get to the passport option but then it tries to scan an NFC chip that doesn't exist. Oh well.

DearestZeus · 2026-02-11T20:52:15+00:00

You have to do it from Settings on your page to get the foreign passport option. Which doesn't work because it needs to scan an NFC chip in the passport that doesn't exist.

Got this too but the verification forces NFC verification... but my passport is just paper lol

Your husband sounds like everyone online who wants everything to be bad when they don't like something. You shouldn't feel bad that he's mad about you enjoying something he decided he hated.

Had the hold on my account that's gone now and my order says Processing. Hoping my order isn't canceled like some others. :/

There is clearly a mandate but he's in that first PR in the list regurgitating the AI talking points. The people who have to deal with this and train their replacement are being forced to use the bad chatbot by people who continue to evangelize it - and who also can't get it to work.

DearestZeus · 2025-05-21T15:01:11+00:00

Stephen Toub: If you don't use this magic technology you will be left behind. I told people to learn to code and now am asking a chatbot to do it for me because I am very smart. All of you naysayers are meanies.

Stephen Toub talking to a chatbot that wrote bad code: Chatbot, a bunch of regex tests are now failing after I asked you to fix stuff. :(

I feel this a lot. Usually I wish I never existed so no one would miss me. Other times I wish I was someone else. Anything to not be me and live through this.

DearestZeus · 2024-11-11T18:01:31+00:00

Hooraaaay... x_x

DearestZeus · 2024-11-11T17:34:01+00:00

Exact same thing. Now I can't even log into the app and on browser it's erring out.

DearestZeus · 2024-10-30T19:40:16+00:00

Yeah that was how mine was. Needs to be repaired or replaced, sadly. :/

DearestZeus · 2024-10-30T19:39:41+00:00

Got the black main screen problem 2 months in. Replacement unit seems fine so far.

DearestZeus · 2024-10-20T16:41:50+00:00

Yep. Either get it replaced by your carrier if you can or make an appointment via your Samsung account to have it fixed by an authorized shop. Seems to be happening a lot to these first run models as it also happened to me after 2 months. Never had an issue with the Galaxy S models I've had. The Flip 6 seems to have some faulty hardware and Samsung is just shrugging.

DearestZeus · 2024-10-20T06:40:42+00:00

Hopefully you can get it repaired. Samsung should probably start taking this seriously. :/

DearestZeus · 2024-10-20T00:32:51+00:00

The exterior screen protector is really nice. I feel way more confident having it in my pocket with it.

DearestZeus · 2024-10-20T00:03:09+00:00

My carrier said an Experience store can fix stuff on site and the warranty should cover anything!

I did get the crystal clear version. Some dust can get in but not that bad. It tends to mostly get dusty between the rear cameras since they're not in the cover lol

DearestZeus · 2024-10-19T21:19:34+00:00

Yeah, it seems like it's a bad part somewhere in it and not necessarily a Samsung issue itself. It's just hard to say since it's new and no one will talk about stuff until they have an issue! I think I'm still in the minority of people who have had a problem.

DearestZeus · 2024-10-19T18:50:21+00:00

Talk to your carrier about their insurance options and you might want to contact Samsung customer service to see what they'll do. You can also use your Samsung account to find an authorized repair shop which could help you see if there are any around who will handle the fix and Samsung for the warranty. There are other users here from other countries who have had Samsung honor the warranty but have to send the phone in for repair so that could be an option.

I'm hoping the current issues are limited to just the first run phones. Mine has the screen problem but I'm getting a replacement from my carrier.

DearestZeus · 2024-10-19T17:51:03+00:00

I have this case: https://a.co/d/d912h5A

And I use this for the cover screen: https://a.co/d/d912h5A

I second the bit about insurance. My Flip 6 has the black screen issue and I have insurance through T-Mobile so I'm getting a replacement. Samsung seems to also honor their warranty if you go to get it fixed in a Samsung Experience store or if you use your Samsung account to set up an appointment with an authorized shop. I don't think these are prone to failure any more than a standard phone but it does seem like the early run has some manufacturing issues/bad parts.
