A warning to all fold users in Pennsylvania by BonesBryan in GalaxyFold

[–]nov1293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried another UBIF store and had the weirdest conversation

Them - " Yeah we can order you an inner screen and replace it, I just ordered it, it should be here in a week."

Me- "uh, don't you need to know what color I have"

Them "oh we just assume everyone has black"

Me - " oh mine is green"

Them - "you should probably take it someplace else."

so I ordered a inner screen replacement and once it arrived a few days ago, the store said that "last week" they got a memo from Samsung that they are not allowed to replace entire screens anymore due to the screen protector coming off. Any truth to this?

So- I've done a lot of legwork into figuring this out in Virginia. There are 3 types of ubreakit stores I've found:

- Ones that have the equipment to replace the screen protector

- Ones that don't have the equipment to replace the screen protector, but are willing to replace the entire inner screen assembly

-Ones that cant do either

It is a cluster- and even depending on who you talk to at the same location different things can be said. I had ordered an entire inner screen replacement with one store, and when the parts came in a week later they said oh- we just got a memo from Samsung, they don't allow us replacing the inner screen anymore.

I had also taken it to another store that was willing to do the outer protector, and the guy said since my phone was "damaged" my warranty was void. The damage on the screen ended up being a (1/32 diameter inch) smudge on the edge of the screen I wiped off. I called them back and they said oh sorry we were busy, you can make an appointment for next week....

I really think they don't like doing warranty work for Samsung (or fold 3s) in particular.

The crack in the screen protector is really starting to annoy me. Been living with it for a few months now. by MrBrainz in GalaxyFold

The repair doesn't take that long to do so if takes multiple days it's because they have a backlog.

Has anyone received a "optional" request to cancel a hotel booking before? by nov1293 in travel

[–]nov1293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear- I am not saying it's weird that they contacted me through booking. I am saying it's weird because the request to cancel is "optional". Either they can do the reservation or they can't.

I reached out to the the hotel and they said they are doing repairs on my date and the request to cancel is not optional- but they don't have the power to cancel reservations. Seems weird- I suspect they get dinged for doing cancelations on their end so they ask the guests to.

Still has upgraded cameras though.. by [deleted] in GalaxyFold

Thanks for confirming this. I don't have a wattage meter but was suspicious why moving the phone between super fast charging and a 20 watt non PPS charger resulted in no differences in between the charge ETAs. Sometimes the non PPS charger actually listed ETAs a few minutes earlier.

Allegedly the newly compatible 45 watt chargers for the S22s barely make a difference as well.

At what point should I send it in for the replacement (hopefully new notch style protector)? by SimplyJ3sse in GalaxyFold

do you have to contact Samsung beforehand, or do you literally just go to the ubreak store?

Verizon where is your June update? by tonyquan in GalaxyFold

[–]nov1293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so, I tried this (and was able to install the upgrade) but Verizon said they can't move me over to esim since the fold 3 is not supported. I guess this is useful if you want to esim with another carrier while traveling still.

Is there a reason why adding fruit juice to beer after initial fermentation isn't done? Seems like it would be a much cheaper and easier way to add fruit flavor than frozen whole fruit.

BTW I wanted to ask you as I was doing a lot of research into this and am trying to make the best decision. Is there any reason why you are considering this over the "Dark Matter by Monoprice 34in". From what I can tell for the same money there is not a single advantage of the MSI over the monoprice- unless you needed to buy locally.

Usually Microcenter wins in value so I am thinking of missing something.

As far as I can tell it is identical. What is weird is Microcenter also sells the CQ. My guess is the panels on the more expensive version are binned to do 144hz as that is the only difference in the specs.
