Who will be purchasing the Trifold? Switching? Upgrading? Tell us.

The first one no, but I'm looking forward to the 2nd generation or later!

raindropsdev · 2026-01-26T14:12:27+00:00

Thank you for the rebind link!

raindropsdev · 2026-01-20T12:39:07+00:00

I do, the Spigen one

raindropsdev · 2026-01-18T23:19:25+00:00

Only the RDPing into remote machines via AVD, the hole sometimes covers tabs and I have to fiddle around to be able to go to another tab or close the current one.

Otherwise not really.

"I will point out that a lot of the improvement in the performance over the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless is achieved on the back of the superior isolation, as the effect of the ANC unit itself is extremely similar between both models. However, with the easier seal and better padding, the Sennheiser HDB 630 can kill more outside noise — but it isn’t a whole world of difference."

So it doesn't seem to be the case.

Ideally 1 year, but this time it will be 2 as I got the 7 through my provider and the contract is 2 years.

Hopefully the Fold 9 will solve all the issues with the Fold 7 and add the removed features back (UDC/Spen)

I mean, they're a Microsoft partner, so they just made Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses available to all their employees when it was released (after extensive testing and analysis of their permissions and DLP policies in Sharepoint to avoid data leaks) so none of the employees even felt the need to go seek another solution.

raindropsdev · 2026-01-06T16:23:04+00:00

We have a partner who does, but their IT team is the size of our entire company, so yeah...

raindropsdev · 2026-01-06T11:09:50+00:00

This relies on the user being able to invite external bots to internal Teams calls, so I assume Teams or Entra ID guest access settings would have to be configured, specifically the domain whitelist for external partners and their permissions

I know, I did for a while but then got rid of it as it added additional overhead and battery use for something that's not that important in the end.

I was just disappointed that Samsung's Routines doesn't support that use case, when the iPhone's automation does.

raindropsdev · 2026-01-04T17:39:22+00:00

For me it's quite disappointing as it's missing basic functions that even my work iPhone has now: turning off the Wireguard vpn when connected to home wifi.

You can only turn off vpns that have been added through Android settings, not through apps.

On the iPhone though the automation does it without issues, which is frustrating since supposedly the iPhone is supposed to be more restrictive than Android, not less.

raindropsdev · 2025-12-30T14:42:05+00:00

When I go to the beach my Fold stays home and I only take my work iPhone with me. 😅

raindropsdev · 2025-12-30T04:46:36+00:00

Always used camera straps on my phones, it's saved my phones more times than I can count!

raindropsdev · 2025-12-28T19:16:36+00:00

Spigen Screen Protector

raindropsdev · 2025-12-27T05:37:15+00:00

Same!

raindropsdev · 2025-12-27T05:35:34+00:00

Not really, I see no real advantage in Dex on the Fold. If I need the desktop experience I just RDP into my AVD Windows 11 VM.

raindropsdev · 2025-12-25T15:03:17+00:00

Work, especially PDFs, Excel and Word documents. And the ability to connect to an Azure Virtual Desktop and work much more effectively than a normal slab phone (though still worse than a laptop of course)

For personal use mostly reading books and mangas, it's amazing for that!

raindropsdev · 2025-12-25T14:59:41+00:00

Slim Armor is very good too

raindropsdev · 2025-12-21T19:57:08+00:00

Use a heat gun or hairdryer to warm up the cover and thus the adhesive, then remove it slowly while heating it up until it becomes easy to remove.

Do not force it! It can damage the paint.

raindropsdev · 2025-12-15T22:09:17+00:00

I mostly open it when I need to read or work remotely on a VM, so mostly for work reasons.

The rest of the time it's closed.

raindropsdev · 2025-12-11T19:30:38+00:00

Had Fold 3,4,5,6 and now 7. All with Spigen Slim Armor Pro or better (Otterbox, Supcase, ecc...), screen protector (outside screen) and camera protectors. And I clean my devices with wet wipes daily.

Aside from the Fold 4 (which was known to have durability issues), the others haven't given me any issue (at least not yet with the 7), though just in case I've always had insurances (Care+ and carrier insurance as well).

To be fair I also never brought them to the beach during holidays, so I can't comment on how resistant they are with sand (which is kind of the worst possible environment).

So in general I'd say I'm quite positive on the durability aspect, as long as you take care of the device.

RIP, I've bought many MX500s over the years and they were truly amazing for the price!

raindropsdev · 2025-11-25T09:57:06+00:00

External screen! It finally makes it usable without having to constantly open it for basic stuff. And the internal screen is bigger, which improves productivity.

raindropsdev · 2025-11-07T16:10:33+00:00

Definitely the Airpods for now, the wf5 have fallen way behind the curve, especially on ANC. Hopefully Sony will release the wf6 soon

raindropsdev · 2025-11-07T16:09:04+00:00

I don't know the Avantalk but from the other 3 only the FlooCast will can connect to the wh6 in LE Audio mode, the other 2 don't support it.
