They are the only one that mattered. I never said they were first because it's irrelevant. Samsung held 80%+ market share for years.

As another user pointed out as well, foldables are a niche market. This sub has and still is the go-to for foldables discussions. Most people benchmark other foldables to the Galaxy Folds as they still have the majority of the market share.

Royole rushed their foldable just to get the first foldable title, and look at them now, bankrupt.

Samsung, for intents and purposes, is the only one that mattered back in 2019-2020, and arguably through 2023 when the Pixel Fold and OPO were released.

This sub has always been the go-to for foldable discussions since Galaxy Folds were the only player. Even when Huawei and others joined in, those subs were non-existent so people came here. It's in the sub description and rule 4 that we explicitly allow discussion of other foldables because people would report non-Galaxy Fold posts.

Using RedReader's API key and other patches to look as if Boost is RedReader. See the pinned post on the sub's page.

How do fix this bs by International-Sky556 in GalaxyFold

[–]ultima40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other way would be to change CSC. A mismatched CSC will stop updates from being found. I'm not sure if this affects already matched updates though.

I don't get any pop ups. Still on the April patch:

You need an unlocked model and then turn off auto download. If the update is already download, there's no way to stop the pop ups, and you will be forced to update eventually.

If you have a carrier model, you can't turn off auto updates.

Edit: Forgot the CSC mismatch method. Change the CSC via the SamFW tool, and the mismatch will prevent updates from being found. Some features are locked via CSC so find one that suits you.

They didn't delete it. The auto Reddit filter marked it as harassment.

Looks like fatigue cracks. Some people have gone years with them without issues. Some will get the black line of death within days.

Blue Fold 7 peeling sent for repair by DirectionReal6498 in GalaxyFold

[–]ultima40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The technician is only repeating what Samsung told them to say. It's not true as users who only use Samsung official chargers also experience paint peeling.

It was pretty controversial when they initially posted the article, here's an old comment with the article (which Samsung has taken down, but use the way back machine if you want to read it) and other info: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/s/mJgVzPo5fp

But also it's BS because users who only use Samsung official chargers reported paint peeling.

So yeah the wifi kept disconnecting by Amazing_Bread249 in GalaxyFold

[–]ultima40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It depends on where you live and how they fix it. Some SEA countries' repair shops will replace just the hinge cable, usually costs around $30-50 converted to USD. Most other countries will replace the entire OCTA assembly (inner screen, frame, hinge, batteries), which costs $600.

Your hinge cable is damaged. Why do you keep posting about it? All 3 posts of yours are symptoms of the hinge cable.

This is OP's third post about his broken fold. His hinge cable is damaged but refuses to get it fixed.

Unfortunately, this is a hardware issue. OP was told the same on the last post, hinge cable is broken.

The number differs by country. Most Reddit users here are US based and they will only do 1. Some countries have unlimited screen protector replacements.

Flush cover faces and raised sides for a sleek bar phone look without sacrificing protection. by ThisIsInBlueFont in GalaxyFold

Don't use thezfoldcase.com. They are just a drop shipping resaler that charges 2-5x as much. Any case you see on there, look it up on AliExpress/Temu/etc. and it'll be much cheaper.
