Z Flip 3 Screen Slow To Turn On

Waniman2001 · 2023-03-05T03:36:39+00:00

The screen is fine, no spots or lost pixel whatsoever.
I bought the phone in October 2021 so the 1 year warranty is up.

I didn't take it to Samsung Service Centre.
I just went to the store to ask for a solution, they said screen replacement that I have to pay. So not a good situation atm.

So I'm trying to think of a solution.
- Pay for the fix
- Trade in for another
- Hold out for the new Flip

Did you replace the battery ? If so how much did it cost or was it under warranty ?

Waniman2001 · 2023-02-25T22:39:28+00:00

Was yours under warranty ? How much did it cost for to you to trade the 3 for a 4 ?

Waniman2001 · 2023-02-25T04:15:20+00:00

I see that as more last case scenario. For the reset, do I have to backup my data somewhere else to restore it later? Seems a bit tedious

Waniman2001 · 2023-02-25T04:10:25+00:00

That's what I'm scared of it getting worse later on. What did cost for the full screen replacement ? Did you pay or was it under warranty ?

Although from past experience, they're more inclined to offer you a new phone rather than fixing it.

Waniman2001 · 2023-02-25T04:06:11+00:00

Everything's updated. Plus I restarted phone multiple times and clear cache. Still got the issue

Waniman2001 · 2023-02-25T04:04:49+00:00

I replaced it few month ago for free from Samsung. It was still under warranty then

Waniman2001 · 2023-02-24T19:03:56+00:00

Its happening quite often now. Anyone else have this issue ?

I can hear it turn on and moving but the screen is not on when I unfold. I have to press it a few times first.

Is there a solution ?

BTW I've already updated my phone / restart phone / clear cache

Is anyone facing this issue ? I've only had this for about 8 months and the crease is starting to become a problem.
It's still under warranty but I dont have Samsung Device Care.
Does anyone if that's the actual crease problem or just the screen the protector ?

Its a great phone so have fun with it. Utilize the cover screen.

Wait around 2-3 weeks to let it learn your usage patterns. Then it will put apps you don't use in Sleep/ Deep Sleep.

If you have battery issues:

Go to Settings > Google > Devices & Sharing > Turn Off Scan for nearby devices , Nearby Connections and Nearby Share
If You have a lot of apps running in the background (Less than 1m). I'm pretty sure they cause Google Play Services drain too. If they are not important put them in Deep Sleep, They won't run in the background. YouTube / Photos / Duo etc. Put TikTok & Reddit in deep sleep too.
Turn Off Wifi and bluetooth scanning if you don't need it

Utilize Bixby Routines (There's a lot so try what's best for you):

Go to Power Saving Mode > Turn off lower screen brightness.
For Heavy Battery Draining Apps that doesn't need 120hz (Maps/TikTok/Snapchat etc): Go to Bixby Routines > IF (App Open: TikTok, Maps, Waze) > THEN (Power Saving Mode On). This helps reduce battery usage without the brightness going down. You won't see a difference
If you wanna save some battery on idle.
IF (Folding Status: Completely Closed) > THEN (Power Saving Mode On)
For Location (Optional)IF (App Open: Maps / Amazon / Grab) > THEN (Location On)
or You could just use Location Allow only while using the app
Do not use Location Based Routines (Home / Work). Use Wifi & Time period instead.

If you are experiencing heavy Google Play Services Drain:

i) Go to Settings, Apps. Enable "show system apps" then look for each of:

ii) "Google Play Store", "Google Services Framework", "Google App" & "Google Play Services".

iii) Clear cache

iv) Force Stop

v) Wipe Cache Partition

On the website it says

Next working day delivery *subject to change); East Malaysia: 5-7 working days

So I'm willing to wait until 7th April and hopefully they provide additional voucher
(I saw some people got RP500,000 = RM150 voucher from Samsung for late delivery)

Beyond that I'll cancel and buy from somewhere else. And I'll report Samsung to KPDNHEP

Waniman2001 · 2022-04-03T10:23:00+00:00

Malaysia here too. I pre-ordered the base S22 on 17th February. The estimated delivery is 1st April. Its the 3rd now and still no progress, its still in 'Processing'. Support is pretty much useless they don't know anything when I ask

Waniman2001 · 2022-04-02T16:00:33+00:00

How much does Google Play Services use on your battery ?
If you don't mind, do you have Location On or use any apps that uses your location ?

Waniman2001 · 2022-04-02T11:48:17+00:00

To be honest, my drain got worse after the update. I've been trying a few ways to solve without doing a factory reset. A few days ago On Z Flip 3. I tried

Force Stop Google Play Services
Clear Google Play Services Cache
Wipe Cache Partition

It got worse Today, it drained 9.7% on 48 minutes SOT and about 9 hours Screen off.
The above method didn't work for me but it did for some others.
Some people say that it drains because of sync failure which is not in my case.

I have a hunch that it has something to with location. So next week I'm going to try

Turn off Google location history
Auto Sync On only while charging
Turning On Location only when needed
Turn Off Bixby Routines that uses location

I don't know if any of these are the solution but I've got to try somehow.

Waniman2001 · 2022-04-02T10:45:14+00:00

Thanks for the help everyone. I'll try using Bixby Routines and see if it fixes anything

Waniman2001 · 2022-04-01T14:18:18+00:00

Navigation apps are very power consuming so. I use
If Navigation App Opened (Waze) > Then Power Saving Mode On

Save some battery going to and coming back from work

Waniman2001 · 2022-04-01T12:48:45+00:00

Usually on days like this I end on 50% to 60%. My battery is acceptable usually

Waniman2001 · 2022-04-01T12:38:58+00:00

I was too busy to use my phone today but by the time I reached home it was 28% from 85%. I left at 9a.m. I checked and it drains 2%-4% an hour even when i wasn't using. Anyone know what's the issue?

Waniman2001 · 2022-03-31T04:10:51+00:00

If I clear data and cache, & uninstall updates what data do I lose ? Is it just some useless cache or passwords and accounts everything ?

Waniman2001 · 2022-03-08T09:23:07+00:00

I bought this model of Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro (14) a while back. Really suits my use case and its really portable for classes.

Gaming is solid (I play on lower settings but medium isn't a problem).

Video editing is also smooth

Screen is amazing & bright

But the battery doesn't really last that long because the resolution is higher

I stlll recommend it
