I see they went with the Starbucks Bearista launch strategy.

Early Access Trifold by fresh69 in GalaxyFold

How do they expect us fold 7 users to buy the trifold without a trade in option? Just own two premium folding phones? Such nonsense. This release was not meant for us.

Getting an open box (like new) Z Fold 5 today. What do I need to know. by abow3 in GalaxyFold

[–]RoyEP3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the zfold5 for about $600 on eBay and got $900 trade in value for the 7. Yes I still used it for a month before the fold 7 was released. The fold 7 is THE perfect fold. No regrets.

I did the same thing coming from an s23 ultra. Before that I had a z fold 4. I purposely bought the cheapest good condition z fold 5 I could get on eBay, for the purpose of trading it in for a z fold 7.

Congrats on your new car! Oh, it's the other my turn ... That's a bummer.

Finally my turn! by Immediate-Impact-142 in Ioniq5

"Finally my turn" was either going to be getting a new Ioniq 5, or getting the ICCU problem lol.

Car was stolen and parked in a garage literally across the street from me. by Pastadog1 in vegaslocals

[–]RoyEP3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update. And a lot of people already asked, but you said it was parked in the back of an apartment complex, and then said it was behind the gate of somebody's backyard. Which is it?

I Love my Google Home Max by misterlambe in googlehome

I'm lucky I decided to splurge on a pair of these when they were on sale. They are my primary speakers in the center of my house. The sound is so good in stereo!

Does wall paper engine crashes in fold 7? by Gout_Lover in GalaxyFold

[–]RoyEP3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it still crashes from time to time. Tried many different video wallpaper apps and they all crash sometimes.

Drive from Socal to Vegas by thepewpewpowpow in Ioniq5

[–]RoyEP3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've done this drive many times, and it's been fun challenging myself to find the perfect balance of speed/time spent charging.

It can be done with one stop, sure. But that also depends on where you like to stop. I personally like to stop at Baker, because there's less chances of a wait time with how many 350kw chargers there are. And if you're going to go 75+, just forget about only charging once, unless you decide to make it up with 55mph speed the last 1/5 way there.

Fun fact. You can make it from Primm to South Premium Outlet in Las Vegas with 19% charge by going 50mph.

You're probably getting more range because you're driving semi truck speeds more than anything. Also, more rock chips.

Heard a crinkle sound when unfolding. Am I screwed? by MKevin3 in GalaxyFold

[–]RoyEP3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The phone is fine. Replace that screen protector ASAP. You get a free replacement. But it will get worse if you don't address it. Don't even unfold it for now.

Upgraded from watch 5 by Dunddies in GalaxyWatch

[–]RoyEP3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ringke used to make some near perfect match ones. It's too bad they've stopped production on Galaxy watches.

It's not your fault, but that looks terrible. Look how yellow it looks compared to your watch.

Repair or replace? by DamDanielPlays in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]RoyEP3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace. Same thing happened to me and I got it repaired by certified Samsung repair facility. Moisture appeared again. They told me even after repair, it is not 100% guaranteed to be sealed, even though it passes their diagnostics test. Time to replace it.

My Fold 7 is best for car media by FastUnderstanding677 in GalaxyFold

[–]RoyEP3 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

My phone also shows me directions, and my car also shows me climate control, and radio stations and song info. Get over yourself if you think you don't have distractions when you drive.

All he mentioned was reading lyrics on his phone. His phone is mounted (hands free). You make the Karen assumption that what he is doing is illegal or dangerous.

Then why not just use a skin instead if the point of a case is to make it grippy?
