[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] MixEvo:
Sorry i'm late to the party!!! So i came from a Find X2 pro to the Fold 2 and honestly i love the fold 2. I work at a Machine shop and my fold 2 has been perfectly fine (im not saying its the most durable phone on earth , but it definetly feels like its gonna be just fine). if there were any major drawbacks id say the lack of cases that protect the hinge spine , and the crappy rubber inner screen protector (which has been removed),and the cameras (comparing to the Find x2 pro directly) .

overall the black bars while watching youtube i can live with cause it has so much real estate on the inner screen that it quickly became something i dont notice anymore.

The cameras are good not the best but good, the find x2 pro camera was fantastic.

My main issue has to be cases, i currently have 6 cases (araree bonnet wallet,spigen thin fit,gkk thin fit,2xchinese "leather back" cases,ringke clear) and the Araree bonnet is the only one that protects the spine yet its awkward to use when folded(back of case digs into finger when holding 1 handed and cover hanging is a minor annoyance) when open the case is ok. all the other cases yeild the same result , when closed they protect the front & back but leave the spine exposed when folded. so its a catch 22 in the case department.

I also applied a Dbrand teardown skin "ultramatte" and its awesome cause the black back of the phone was a fingerprint haven.

So im sure ive rambled enough haha, but i would honestly say overall even with the drawbacks id take the fold 2 over the find x2 pro if i had to choose again.

also i ordered the Spigen Tough Armor (which seems like it will be a good case protecting the spine/hinge and not being "in the way"when used folded like the araree bonnet)

Either way both phones are really good im sure you'll be happy with either

Sounds about right. He doesn't own one and is here just trolling away.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
I'm not sure what the point of going to a sub section and complaining about a phone you don't own and aren't going to buy is but it happens often enough here. I completely understand the posts where people say they are disappointed about a device as it comes out, are moving elsewhere, and the why. These posts can be useful to those on the fence. To go back to this device I still think while flawed it's an amazing piece of kit and more than any other phone I've ever encountered; one you really have to use to fully get. It's unfortunate the entry fee is so steep as to make test driving one unreasonable for most.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] randy2:
Honestly I have had every note that Samsung has made and my secondary device is a note 20. I am now spoiled I have had my zfold 2 a month and I can't go back to a regular phone ever again. I'm a fold loyalist from now on
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] dezborders:
Well said... I had the fold1 and now the fold2 and can't imagine going back to a "normal" mobile phone again... regardless of brand.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm a Note loyalist but I've been playing with the ZF2 at Best Buy and am in love with it. Can't decide if I can give up my SPen though.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] DJW35:
Next year, the fold 3 is replacing the note line and getting a Spend.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Yeah, I knew that was the latest rumor. It's one reason I'm considering the Fold 2 now. Might as well grab it, because it will have a higher trade in value next year when I get the Fold 3, LOL.

So they are saying.

So far the durability has been lacking and the price is higher than I pay for a laptop.

The Fold sales have been dismal thus far... if that tells you something.

Sparkling reviews, all of them.

What's wrong with this picture?

I don't share Samsung's enthusiasm and they grossly overextended themselves trying to develop this technology. Their other expensive phones suffered as a result and during a worldwide economic downturn at that. Brilliant.

The Edsel was a similar money sinkhole released during a recession. That ended well.

I call snake eyes.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] dezborders:
Without a shadow of a doubt the Fold 2 is the best mobile device i have owned in over 20 years of owning a mobile. Durability is perfectly fine (for me), battery life is excellent, (i get 9hrs SOT with the 90hz app) and the main foldable screen is amazing with or without the factory fitted film protector.

The front screen is still slightly too narrow to make the device 100% perfect but perhaps next years Fold3 will resolve that outstanding issue...

I can't imagine ever going back to a "normal" candy bar style phone ever again.

Yes foldable devices are currently hugely expensive but as an early adopter I accept i have chosen to pay more than the average consumer would. Hopefully (!) In a couple of years Samsung will be able to sell a fold5 for 100 or 200 £$€ more than the equivalent S23 Ultra price.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
How long have you owned it?

If Samsung can bring up sales/production levels drastically and reduce failure rates including during manufacturing price should come down.

Samsung hasn't water or dust sealed it, no SD card*, worse how does one adequately protect it with a case?

The screens?

What happens when it takes a hard drop when unfolded, which invariably will happen?

Time will tell.

Can't fault anyone with the money to burn that likes this technology for getting it.

Samsung on the other hand has a lot to lose... and this will go on their permanent record.

All this technology and still no AptX-HD** bt chipset support on any on their flagships devices.

Really?

*these 3 key requirements kill it for me even if the price is right.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
That's why the phone isn't for everyone and that's okay. All the devices are like that though. People think Note people are crazy. Why would you pay THAT much for a phone that's too big and has a tiny pen with it, when half or a third of the price buys a Pixel?

Us Note people think Pixel owners are crazy. Why buy a midrange device that next year will update to a new version of Android, just to pick up the features that Samsung already has in OneUI?

You think Fold people are nuts, because the screens are more delicate, no SD Card, no water resistance, etc. It's not the phone for you, but at the same time, there's not reason to try to convince people it shouldn't be the phone for them.

I used to be a Nexus/Pixel guy, because I was and Android purist. But when I became more of a power user, the Note 8 was the phone for me, and I haven't switched away from the Note series since.

But I'm also a tech geek, love being on the bleeding edge, and love the coolness factor of new tech. The original Fold was too beta feeling for me. I didn't even like the looks of it. But the Z Fold 2 looks like a great device, so I pulled the trigger and ordered one. It will be here Monday. I'll miss the SPen, the water resistance, and the microSD card, but on days I NEED those things, I'll have my Note 20 Ultra.

The Fold won't be for everyone, but don't knock it. Instead embrace the hiccups and understand that Samsung is developing it as we go. That's really the only way to do it. The first Note was made fun of relentlessly. But now Notes are THE flagship phones. The first Fold was not quite a joke, but not quite a real daily device. The Z Fold 2 is leaps and bounds above it. The Z Fold 3 will be another evolution, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I fully agree with you except on one point; I think you're far too forgiving of Samsung.

They could have done much better with the missing features at this price point.

Unlike flagship recievers from Denon there will never be a hardware upgrade deployed for this.

Sammy's been treating the evolving Fold technology like a GoFundMe phone. Again, I get the feeling Sammy bite off more than they can chew.

Regardless, enjoy the new pretty Fold2:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] dezborders:
Just over 2 months.

To be fair to samsung, NO MANUFACTURER of foldable has worked out how to include IP68

Flexible displays are bleeding edge technology... and Samsung has been clear and open about lack of dust and water protection

256gb is plenty for 99% of users. I had the fold 1 and could barely half fill it. I'd rather pay £100 lower price for 256gb than have 512gb which I can not make full use of. SD card slot is a nice to have feature but many other manufacturers sell phones with no expandable storage slots.

I bought a black plastic front and back case on ebay for £5 and have used it without problem since the day I got the Fold2. I find it amusing that ppl will pay £100+ for a branded case.

Search on YouTube for 'fold 2 5g drop test'. You will be amazed at how many times the test device was dropped from Head hight when closed, when opened and dropped directly onto the hinge. This was without a case fitted and the floor was concrete. Only when the fod2 was dropped from the top of a set of stepladders (12 foot drop?) Directly onto the hinge did the device suffer damage to the inner screen. In fact the drop test appeared to show that the fold2 was LESS prone to serious damage than the all glass flagship phones everybody knows and loves.

Each to their own, if you can't afford or don't trust foldable phones then don't buy one. :svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
dezborders: don't try replicate those drop tests. Dropping an IC 3 feet onto a concrete floor can pull enough G's to damage its internal wafer bonds. Granted the case provides some impact G dissipation but -something- got to give. I would prefer that something be urethane...

Lol, the Notes wuv to corner impact when not faceplanting.

Personally I have just under 1 tb of storage on my 10+.

The card is used as a data drive and for full reload backup.

My music files alone occupy over 200 gb.

I can always use more storage as my photo library is 1.5+tb in size.

I'd never go back to less storage and no seperate data drive on a smartphone. For me it be a massive downgrade and would greatly impact functionality.

I can do a complete reload right now with no PC or internet connection needed. All apps and data are on the card.

Many don't understand why this is important or even care.

Unfortunately I do... learned the hard way.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] carlitos66:
I completely agree on the storage issue. I was very disappointed that they release only the 256 GB version. I like to carry "all" my photos since Note 1 on SD card just in case I need them so I had to downsize a lot with storage. Also, in my opinion, this phone is great for multimedia, like watching movies on the inside screen, so where do you store all the videos? The storage has to improve for the next year model, and in case Samsung release ( as usually ) special 512 GB edition around Christmas or when the sales numbers go down, I am selling my 256GB black and get the larger storage. Same as this guy, my music library itself took 80 GB of space...

I wish, I really wish that they somehow work the S pen for this phone. Owning Note series from day one, I got used to this feature and would never buy phone without it. Well, I did buy the Fold thinking that I can always return it in 14 days window, but I fell in love with the phone, but I still keep my Note 20. ( I travel a lot, so I use it as a travel back up phone )

Third thing I would love Samsung improve on this phone is the size of the front screen. Just 2 - 3 mm wider would be just fine. Its perfectly tall enough for one hand operation, but couple of millimeters wider would make this phone just perfect.

Otherwise no complains, finally a phone with decent sound that is actually comparable to iPhone sound, good brightness, ok camera for everyday pictures. If I go to vacation with my family, I take my Nikon dslr camera for high quality pictures, but for quick pictures the camera is fine. ( They could improve it to Note 20 level for next year) but for my needs I will rather take SD card slot over better camera.

And this is for Samsung, if they are reading this forum: please come up with some good quality cases, or make the back of the phone less slippery. Jesus, I have dropped the phone 10 days after I bought it and cracked the front screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
So I finally pulled the trigger myself. Have had the ZF2 for a couple days now and I LOVE it. I do miss my SPen, but I kept my N20Ultra as my secondary device, so I still have that capability if needed.

Still getting used to it ND adjusting to it. I actually find the outer screen useful for replying to messages, scrolling FB, etc. The inside screen is awesome die reading the Bible, surfing the internet, even checking eBay to be able to see larger pics in the listing.

Media consumption is what I'm still adjusting to. YouTube is great, but most video services don't seem very well optimized. I.e. I was watching the Clone Wars on Disney+, but it actually produced a SMALLER video size than my Note 20 Ultra. I understand the screen ratios and all that, but it had black bars top bottom and sides. An attempt to enlarge it filled the whole screen, so you get this huge 4:3 ratio image, but obviously that cuts off a large amount of the image. Best solution I found was to use Multistar to force Disney+ to 18.9:9 ratio. But it still won't stretch past the camera cutout.

I see this device only getting better as apps become better optimized.

Edit: Sorry 16:9 gives the best size video for Disney+ not 18.9:9. I'm also using that ratio on Netflix. It isn't perfect, as it forces the phone to hide the camera cutout, rather than stretch past it. And you'll see your home screen wallpaper around the edges of the video.

All the other video apps I tried work great with the stock aspect ratio, full immersive mode on. I've tried Vudu, Hulu, Prime, Tubi, Movies Anywhere, YouTube, Google TV, and MLB.tv, and they all scaled just fine to this screen size and supported full immersive mode. The CW won't play a video at all. Just errors out.

[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Dr.who?:
whats with the chinese roms? you do know that once you use a CCP (chinese communist party) anything, your information is absolutly compromised? do your research.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Ceetainly in some instances, but definitely not in this case. Myself and many others have thoroughly torn this code apart, looking specifically for any security exploits, malware or other malicious code. There are none of the above. As the OP correctly noted, this ROM has been built from AOSP & LineageOS source code. I've used Mokee for years on a number of Android devices and can assure you my data or personal information has never been compromised. Mokee has been my daily driver ROM many times. You raise a very good point. But in this case, I can confirm with 100% certainty that this ROM is safe -- it has no known security exploits and has a current Android security patch level. The Chinese Android ROMs you need to be suspicious of are the ROMs built specifically for the purpose of smartphones, wearables and tablets that are to be used by consumers in North America. Mokee is no such ROM, nor is FlymeOS. Both of these custom ROMs are widely used by the Chinese themselves. If I am wrong on this, please provide examples of the malicious or otherwise questionable source code to which you refer. You're definitely not wrong to be suspicious of the Chinese when it comes to mobile devices and custom ROMs. Fortunately, your concerns get a waiver in this instance. [MENTION=10332777]00p513[/MENTION], I want to take a moment and thank you for your outstanding work. You are a huge contributor here on the device forum, and your work is truly appreciated by many CHANNEL owners.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 00p513:
Thank you for trying my ROMS! With regards to MoKee and its privacy, I can not comment. It is mostly a kang of lineage os, however I decided to build because freedom of choice is important to me. No one is forcing anyone to use mokee, /e/, or any other roms which may be or may not be controversial.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Indeed. And that's a very honest answer. In years of using Mokee I've never been able to find a security exploit or backdoor implemented by Chinese developers. It is undoubtedly just as secure as LineageOS in terms of its code base. Again, I commend your work on building for the Moto G7 Play. Your Mokee ROM and other custom ROMs you've built are responsive, smooth and quite stable. I felt the need to elaborate on my experience with Mokee and to state that to the best of my knowledge, belief and information, Mokee is completely safe. I'm also loving your crDroid build for the CHANNEL.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 00p513:
Do you have any other ROMs you would like built?
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Have you ever built Omni ROM or Slim ROM?
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 00p513:
Slim has been dead for a couple years :(

I can try omni some time but a lot is closed source now
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Yeah I recall now that Slim ROM is a deprecated project. And I had completely forgotten that Omni was closed source. What are some custom ROM projects that are open source and not too difficult to work with? Is Dirty Unicorns still around by any chance, or the Android Open Kang Project (AOKP)? Or maybe AOSP-Extended or Bootleggers ROM.

In any event, your Mokee, crDroid and /e/ ROMs are absolutely great. Luckily, this CHANNEL device has gained a decent amount of development support.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TankedThomas:
I made a mistake whilst repairing a GT-P1000 motherboard, ending with one of the speakers being ripped off, taking both solder pads with it.

There are no visible traces to reattach the speaker, except for a couple of close solder points which didn't seem to work.

Attached is a photo of the current state of my board. You'll notice I scratched off some of the PCB mask to see if I could find anything usable underneath but to no avail.

I found the service manual for this device but I'm pants at reading electronic diagrams and technical manuals. Maybe this will help someone help me: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1146160/Samsung-Gt-P1000.html

Does anyone know an alternate location I could solder the speaker to in order to restore functionality? I don't want to piggyback it off the other speaker because that won't give me stereo sound.
