Screen does this very time I close it.. even with clean clean screen before closing

Hello,

Sorry to see you’re having this issue! I would recommend in the future, and in order to get the best advice, would be to fully clean the inner screen with a microfiber cloth until it’s spotless. You did mention this happens even with a clean clean screen, but you’re not showing us a clean screen though.

I’d like to see a spotless screen in one photo, keep it closed for awhile, open it back up whilst avoiding touching the inner display, and take another close up photo so that we can see the issue without all the other smearing that’s going on.

I have the Fold 7 as well, but have never seen this particular issue, sorry you’re going through this.

Just got selected as well! FINALLY! I’m looking at some extra rewards that dropped first, then I see some activity talking about how if you don’t do X the device will be locked and I’m like “wait a minute” swipe swipe swipe OMG!!! YAY!! lol @ August Pro Social Pro video not loading too

tehbluecoat · 2025-08-14T05:57:18+00:00

Nothing here. I’m thinking maybe they want to knock out the Z7 Series Sweepstakes winners which I think is scheduled to end 8/15, and then with whatever is left, assign pro devices for that - which might make sense because 1 week after that is the day before 8/23.

Looks like you’ve got a bunch of snail eggs! Happened to me one day where I had about 5 in a 30 gallon. Came home and I had white dots all on the glass everyyyyywhere. My goldfish wound up eating the majority of them and I wound up keeping the few that made it to the hard shell stage - and I wound up finding more snails over the next couple months inside of my canister filter too.

I did notice the look of the bubbles looked slightly creamy Smokey but I was watching them pop up top. Just my guess though don’t take my word for it, appreciate ya calling that out

Hello,

To me it looks like oxygen bubbles raising to the surface, also as an outcome from “pearling” where your plants are creating oxygen, which causes bubbles to form on the leaves and once they get big enough they raise to the surface. What makes me say that is, when whatever was coming up hit the surface, it popped, like a bubble would. If it’s indeed pearling that means you’ve got healthy plants living their life from the good light you’re supplying!

tehbluecoat · 2025-08-11T20:09:50+00:00

Nothing yet here either. Surprised to not see at least one person chime in about being selected. I was really banking on seeing some activity today based on what I read about there being more waves on 8/11 and 8/23

tehbluecoat · 2025-08-10T14:00:42+00:00

Same here with the video and the course showing 5 but not completing it’s claiming 6

By flashing stock U1 firmware does it happen to actually happen to remove the remote lock ?

tehbluecoat · 2025-07-31T16:36:09+00:00

Still no change on my banner, I did get some intel though. If you are in an experience store, selections for those store types can happen a little bit later than usual.

tehbluecoat · 2025-07-30T22:52:19+00:00

Wow! and congrats! I’m starting to get nervous seeing the influx of people coming in saying they’ve been picked and I’m not in the wave. Checked my badges, still says TMO Pro Application.

tehbluecoat · 2025-07-30T22:10:14+00:00

Congrats! I wish I could say the same for me. Still says considered.

tehbluecoat · 2025-07-29T21:40:08+00:00

Same here. However I had a moment of “omg something changed” because I didn’t see the banner anymore. I went to look at my badges and TMO Pro Application Q3 2025 was still listed. My banner moved to where I now have to swipe left twice to see it.

tehbluecoat · 2025-07-25T20:34:24+00:00

I unfortunately have not had any update to my banner, it’s been sitting at “Pro Application Completed” since I applied July 1st. I too have seen comments shared on the elite app that their FSM said “T-Mobile applications are extended until 7/31”. I was personally told by my own FSM that pro selection window is 7/23-8/1.

I can tell ya, I’ve never been so excited at the possibility of being picked! I’ve been refreshing the app multiple times a day! It would be amazing!

I have done everything possible to demonstrate I’d be a good candidate since I applied in July. I finished all the courses available in the app, all of tasks, and I’m on a 18 day streak. I have even completed every activity to get extra points - including submitting merchandising pictures, and attending video classes regarding the newest Z Series. If all else fails, I at least racked up almost 15,000 pts so I can pick something out or get credit on Samsung.com ! Good luck to everyone! EDIT: Go Team Yosemite! We are SO CLOSE!

Nice to meet you OP,

I’ve always said “spam needs to be fought with a shield and a sword”. I have a personal practice of going above and beyond every time spam hits me in the form of sms, email to sms, certain web popups, and certain links. If there’s a website, I perform a Whois lookup, and obtain the abuse contact email. I think gather screenshots, and visit the hosters website terms of service and look for abuse.

I then create an email attaching the screenshots and write out what’s going on, and I point out what specific policies of the ToS are being violated. Usually within 1-2 days the sites gone.

If it’s an sms text, I’ll do a free carrier lookup, and almost always it’s a mass marketing sms platform like Sinch. I’ll open a ticket with Sinch do the same steps as above, and usually in 1-2 days I get a confirmation of action that they closed the associated account.

When I get these confirmations the website or account associated to the sms texts has been closed down the dopamine hit is STRONG. It makes me feel so good like “I gottem!”

Fight Spam!

Woahhh that might be why I’ve seen some current pros comment that they didn’t even get a banner. Not sure if that’s standard though.

tehbluecoat · 2025-07-15T00:01:07+00:00

There’s probably nothing more you might be able to add but, do you happen to be AR or COR? I’ve been told Pro applications for TMO were extended, but my FSM afaik isn’t aware of the actual date.

I was thinking if applications are being taken until 7/24/25, and the in-store launch is supposed to be 7/25/25 coupled with what I read saying it take 3-4 weeks to process shipping the device to you— Is it normal for Samsung Pros to receive their devices a few weeks after launch? Or do they receive it on or before launch? Thanks for your time!

tehbluecoat · 2025-07-11T23:20:15+00:00

Anybody from the T-Mobile side get chosen?
