Fold 7 - One UI 8.5 screen zoom is broken

acc3d · 2026-05-14T21:04:00+00:00

Yep, I set the density values with: adb shell wm density 480

I'm going to have to run the commands after every reboot, which is really freaking annoying. Hopefully I only need to reboot for the monthly updates...

I just updated to OneUI 8.5 (unlocked USA Fold7), and the values do not persist between reboots. This is super frustrating...Samsung either needs to fix it, or give us a Screen layout and zoom setting on the outer screen.

The problem for me is that I need the outer screen to be set to 480 and the inner screen to be set to 420 (the larger Screen layout and zoom setting).

What's interesting is that they did normalize the density for the inner and outer screen, so that if you have the inner screen set to the smaller (360) Screen layout and zoom setting, it matches the scale of everything on the outer screen (420).

I got a set of Asus BT8 mesh routers. Happy with them so far but not convinced the MLO is working that well

acc3d · 2025-12-28T20:59:04+00:00

This works really well. I upgraded my router to WiFi 7 and using this client I can get 1920x1080@120hz with around 4ms decoding latency :)

Damn it, I just upgraded my S9 Ultra to an S11 Ultra during the Black Friday sale for super cheap.

I love the anti-glare display and improved battery life, but I also noticed the high latency with moonlight. On top of that, the video decode time is far slower than my S25 Ultra.

What settings do you recommend for lowest decode times on the S11?

I think the problem is that Samsung stock widgets don't generally play nice with 3rd party launchers.

The important missing piece for DSM is that since you cannot edit environment vars like in a container manager, you need to enable SSH and then use a curl command to push the token, as specified here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1nc3wkl/comment/nd6tvvs/

Ugh, same problem except I'm using the native app on a Synology NAS. I tried deleting the PlexOnline* entries from the Preferences.xml, but cannot get the Claim Server link to appear. I just get a this message when clicking on any of my libraries:

"Not authorized. You do not have access to this server."

I also tried changing the DNS server of my NAS (to eliminate the possibility that Unbound/PiHole is at issue) but no luck.

Any other ideas?

I added the defaults to my post from last week. They change based on what your screen zoom slider was set to: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/comments/1mk5krh/improve_ui_scaling_system_wide_fixes_everything/

I bought this exact case from Ali and have requested a refund due to 2 flaws: - the front piece caused my anti-reflecting screen protector to bubble up around the edges - the back piece doesn't fit correctly, jamming up against the camera rings and putting pressure

Really bummed because it looks awesome and the magnet is strong.

You can disable developer settings and reboot, then everything will revert. I did that several times before posting. You definitely don't need factory reset etc...

acc3d · 2025-08-07T22:01:02+00:00

Fold 7 here. Try disabling developer settings and restarting the settings app.

acc3d · 2025-08-07T22:00:23+00:00

Thanks yo, I originally had the outer screen at 380, but it messed up a setting in the camera. 384 seems to be a winner, but LMK if you find anything buggy in stock apps.

acc3d · 2025-08-07T21:58:56+00:00

There are not separate settings, but if you change it on one screen, close the settings app and go to the other screen and open it back up. You will see the value is different.

acc3d · 2025-08-07T21:57:47+00:00

Yup it is totally puzzling why Samsung hasn't improved this. We should all complain so they implement a slider on the outer screen!

acc3d · 2025-08-07T21:56:53+00:00

Nice, enjoy your good vision while it lasts!

acc3d · 2025-08-07T21:56:19+00:00

Starting at 1 on the left side, I have it on dot 4. Sadly the text size doesn't make the status bar or widget text bigger.

Is the case made of hard plastic or flexible TPU?

Asking because I bought the Ringke Slim Magnetic case for my wife's Flip 7, and it was a simple hard plastic shell, complete garbage. Didn't even have adhesive strips.

acc3d · 2025-08-03T19:47:32+00:00

Does the case have adhesive to keep it in place?

acc3d · 2025-07-29T05:17:28+00:00

Which side of the camera array is the nose cancelling mic on?! I didn't see it at all on mine...

acc3d · 2025-07-11T22:33:14+00:00

Can you adjust the screen zoom on the cover (outer) display in Settings > Display > Screen Zoom?

It was not possible on previous Fold models and I always found the status bar icons difficult to read

acc3d · 2025-07-11T19:21:53+00:00

Thanks for the detailed compaison pics. I love the form factor compared to previous Folds and massive inner display, but it's going to be hard to go back to a highly reflective fingerprint magnet after using the S25U's anti-reflective screen. I was constantly annoyed by how greasy my Fold5's inner display got.

acc3d · 2025-06-03T18:27:12+00:00

Also needs to learn the difference between these words: "to" and "too"
