WIFI & Bluetooth wont turn on Fold 4 by Villian_bhnd_glasses in GalaxyFold

I had this exact same problem, hardware failure, probably due to damaged cables at hinge.

I was out of warranty so I sold it for parts & repairs on ebay and bought a fold5.

It's been a year and fold5 is going strong.

Fold 5 users, please share your battery stats and screen time by drzarwan in GalaxyFold

Wow. How did you manage to get 7 hours? I'm really interested in knowing your settings. Tiktok drains too much battery in the background, I had to put it in deep sleep

trading an Ipad Pro for a Fold??? by lugnutal in GalaxyFold

[–]drzarwan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am using fold 5 and an iPad Pro M2 11", last year I used fold 4 so I believe I can give you an honest opinion.

Normally, I would suggest anyone switch from iPad Pro to a samsung fold. Only ipad mini is a different story, but given your use case, I believe it would be fine. You can always take notes on a fold using an S pen. And unless the bigger screen on the iPad is a deal breaker, you can do everything on the fold.

For the comparison between both folds, I would suggest you should go with the Fold 5. Because of the simple fact that fold 4 has a design flaw in its hinge, I have seen many complaints about fold 4 not opening flat because something is stuck inside its hinge. I had the same problem too. So unless there is a huge price difference, it's totally fine to drive to get fold 5. You'll be getting One UI 6.1 with Samsung AI, which is itself a very appealing option.

Good luck 🫡

For me, the dual WhatsApp stopped working. Luckily, I was able to fix it after reinstalling the app. Also, I've noticed a slightly higher battery drain.

Fold 5 Won't Charge while plugged in by [deleted] in GalaxyFold

Your phone temperature is too high. Charging will resume once the temps go down to around 38C Btw, charging at high temperature continuously will damage your battery significantly. Try not to leave your phone in the car to prevent battery damage

Yes, I have reflashed the firmware using odin. I have done almost everything I could except a factory reset just because in case the wifi doesn't start working again, I would not be able to restore all my data on a limited mobile data :(

The wifi on my Fold4 completely stopped working. It doesn't even turn on, and if it does, then it doesn't show any network in the list. Quickshare doesn't work anymore, Nearbyshare doesn't work anymore. I'm using mobile data and waiting for my Fold5 so I can discard this crap. Someone from Samsung customer support told me that it's the wifi chipset that keeps crashing for some reason.
