[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] zoetrope:
The SGZF3 arrived about 2 hours ago. Using and configuring the main screen is such a large paradigm shift from what I've been used to that taking the time to customize both screens will be quite the time sink. Should be fun though. +1 on starting a new tips and tricks thread!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bigfire:
I haven't gotten my 3 yet (gloomily watching it sit at the FedEx center with no sign it's getting on a truck), but with the Fold 2 there were some Youtube videos about how to tune the software of the phone, a lot of it using Samsung's...Good (Something or rather). It made a huge difference with my experience of the phone. They may have rolled these tweaks into the main software, but it's worth keeping an eye out for it just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kxdaorbit:
It's called 'GoodLock', a suite of tools and tweaks. It's one of the most underrated of Samsung's software offerings, allowing us to do things that could only be achieved by 'rooting' in the past.

Anyone has successfully change Fold 3 CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] thuglife:
Nope, still searching for ways. Stuck on EUX.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mickliq:
I ended up installing Nova (it's what I've used for eons on other devices). It works fine and has the benefit of running the same layout on both the cover screen and the main inside screen. Less laggy than One UI home, plus custom icons and gestures.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] zoetrope:
I've ended up doing the same thing. Nova still impresses after all these years 😀!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] rockky:
What functions do you lose?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mickliq:
Basically you can't have two layouts...one for inner display and one for cover display. You just get a compressed version of the inner display. It's worth it, IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
My ZF3 arrived Thursday but I was out of town and didn't get home until late last night. So just now getting to play with it. It does feel like a slightly more polished ZF2. My chief complaint, being a Note fan boy, is I like the more squared corners on the device and the screen with the ZF2. It's ironic they made the ZF3 more Note-like functionally with the SPen, but made it more Galaxy S-like aesthetically with the more rounded features.

Other than that, it's well worth the upgrade to me. The SPen works great, though I HATE the SPen flip case. Thought I could used to it but no. Wish I had got the leather case now instead. I did order an SPen Pro, but it won't be here until September 14th. Probably going to go back to Spigen for my case and try to figure how to carry around the SPen fold edition or the SPen Pro. Ugh.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
The under screen camera works a treat though when watching movies. It's not perfect, but honestly it just blends into the back ground. The camera quality sucks, but it's NOT for selfies. It's for video calls. The outer cameras are for selfies.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] texasez:
Does anyone know how to get rid of the blue circles on the single screen and what is their purpose?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] MoervYO:
S21 owner here, sorry if it‘s off-topic. The fold 3 and flip 3 come with a newer Smart Switch version which allows WhatsApp chat transfers from iOS to android. Could any of you share this new version here so we all could enjoy it? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kxdaorbit:
Blue circles?, not on my device, a screenshot/photo would help.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ronaldheld:
I presume that there is no way to turn off the boot animation music without Root?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kxdaorbit:
Loving the 5G speeds on this bad boy.

Getting download speeds of close to 300Mbps (282Mbps), way up from the max achieved on my Note 10+ 5G, which I know has inferior modems etc, but all the same, I'm blown away. 🤩🤩
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ronaldheld:
Went to my VZW store looking for accessories. They had the wireless charging pad,and the fast charge power brick, but no S Pens.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ronaldheld:
Does anyone recall how to force all Chrome tabs to default to desktop mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] mickliq:
I think like this ->

chrome://flags/#desktop-version-default
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ronaldheld:
Did not work. Also new tabs do not go to my designed homepage.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bs3pro:
Having issues with chrome not doing proper tabs like it used to also.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ronaldheld:
There is no fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kxdaorbit:
You must be in 5G Nirvana.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
Yeah. I've never seen speeds like this. That first one was in Springfield MO earlier today. This one is in St Joseph MO just now. They say TMo is the king of speed right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Negan:
I just use the Samsung browser. It has tabs
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kxdaorbit:
This is it, I'm in the UK, don't know anyone/anywhere in London with the speed you posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
Oh yeah, sorry. I'm in the US. But to be fair, I haven't heard of anyone HERE with those speeds earlier. I was like, "is this real life?"

I'm guessing TMo has done some major upgrades around here. I remember the first time I saw my speed break 100Mbps. I was in shock then too. LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kxdaorbit:
Has anyone noticed the 2nd under display sensor on this device, and what is it for, is it something to be 'turned on' with a future software update.

If you turn your phone of and look at the screen from an angle, it's a round sensor to the left of the udc.

If no-one else has this, then my suspicions are correct, I'm not paranoid, Samsung are defo watching me.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] xile6:
Probably a proximity sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
Question, I thought if you have an app open using the inner screen, then fold it, the same display will show on the outer screen seemlessly...........my display shuts off every time I fold it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jonstatt:
I have hit 500 megs in London on EE 5g

Here is a 400 example
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] xile6:
Its in the settings.

Search for " continue apps on cover"

Most will work. Others will need to restart when switching.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ycats:
Thanks, that worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
I have it too. Most likely a light sensor to dim and brighten the screen under different levels of ambient light.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] DeaDman594:
I don't know if it is the right Page to ask but which version of Fold 3 have Native Call Recording. I just purchased the HK Version. Is it possible to change CSC to India Version. Usually I know Indian Version have call recording in most phone.

Little Help would be appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kxdaorbit:
Yes, India does work, and if I remember correctly, so does Thailand.

By the way, have you tried any call recording apps? ACR Pro works for me fine, both sides recorded.

You might want to give it a whirl before you go hunting corners of the dark Web for combination files and the suchlike.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] DeaDman594:
Much Appreciated. Would you please give me the link as when I type ACR Pro too many shows up.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ronaldheld:
Does any notice any scrolling stutter if you don't move across the crease fast enough?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] DeaDman594:
Did anyone Figure out how to change the CSC on SM-F9620? I really want the Native call Recording. I tried many app from Play Store but none works. Only I can hear my own voice.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kxdaorbit:
There's some strange things going on with my device.

1. I can't get into download mode. I get into recovery np, but then when I hit the option to boot into download, it just boots normally.

2. Sensitivity of S pen varies from key to key on keyboard. Some keys have to be struck firmer, not always same keys, random.

3. In 'Developer options' USB debugging won't stay on. As soon as I try to OK it, it reverts back to the off position.

4. ADB not working. The show devices command ( .\adb devices) returns the expected response, anything else then returns daemon/devices not present.

5. Wallpaper on front screen won't stay. After restart, reverts to stock wallpaper, inside screen OK.

Time to have a chat with Sammy tech support methinks, just hoping they won't part me from my new toy for long!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] lawtq:
Number one, when phone is totally off, press and hold both volume up and volume down keys, then insert USB lead that's plugged into computer/laptop. This will take you into download mode

The rest I have no idea why it ain't working. You on the latest software?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kxdaorbit:
That absolutely worked, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Geekser:
I was excited to get the Fold 3 - I figured that the bugs Samsung had on previous models would be worked out by now and when I got the phone was very happy to see that it appeared I was correct - until today that is. When I turned the phone on today, I noticed that there were two very small, bright colored 'dots' in the screen - these must be faulty pixels or something, I am really not sure. They show up on every screen regardless of what you are looking at - but they seem more prominent on dark backgrounds or screens.

In all honesty, I am a little disapointed - I really liked this phone, how it worked, the size of the screen, transitions from the main folded closed home screen to the fully opened screen.

I didn't know if others had seen similar issues but from my perspective, the cost of this phone is too high to put up with any defect it might have regardless of how small it might be.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] 94b20gsr:
I believe expecting perfection from man-made equipment to be a journey with lots of opportunity for disappointment. Have you contacted Samsung to just have the device replaced under warranty? I'm sure they will take care of it quickly, there will always be a few that slip between the cracks.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Geekser:
You are probably right, however, I have owned samsung phones for many years and the one thing that has always been exceptional is the screen and overall display. I have never had an issue like this so While I did like many things about the fold, I was dissapointed about a few others and frankly, this was the straw that..well you know the rest.

I have decided to just return it - go back to my S21 Ultra and wait for the S22 at the end of the year. I may try a future Fold sometime in the future - but will probably wait a few more releases before diving in again.

thanks for the advice just the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ilordvader:
Can we stop Auto rotation on cover screen & use it just on the inner screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kikintosh:
Yes, using Bixby routines
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jeromepearce:
I wish! Landscape on the cover screen is almost completely pointless, except maybe for watching video.

I believe you can do it with Bixby routines, tasker or ITTT, but I haven't tried yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Maybe something like Macrodroid?

Wittle Bixby is a menace...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ilordvader:
Yes I did with it with Bixby
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jeromepearce:
Yeah, I've avoided Bixby all this time. I don't like any 'assistants!

I caved today. It's fairly simple and works a treat. I'll consider using tasker when I get time off from playing with this bad boy... 😜
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Read Bixby's EULA... it's not pretty.

If it was self contained I might use it... but only if I could change it's name🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] jeromepearce:
Arrrrgh!

Sucked into Bixby now. I got it to switch 5g on when I'm in town and off when I leave as I have no 5g where I live. Must get tasker up & going!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] miravision:
Bixby is alright. I like how it integrates well into the OneUI Framework apps and allows deeply integrated shortcuts while keeping me from repeating mundane tasks which would otherwise have required rooting and manually configuring AutoInput for every action.

Tasker is of course way more powerful and I can't live without it. I support every tool that gets the job done
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iamkkr:
Does anyone here play pubg or bgmi or any other heavy game on their fold 3???

How much is SOT while playing these games???
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] montrealbagel:
The gaming experience is worse than the regulare phones on both flip 3 and fold 3 as the screen ratio is weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iamkkr:
Aspect ratio is not an issue for me. We can always adjust them according to our liking in labs.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sunnywilliams135:
It's not perfect - the camera, battery, and fingerprint sensor all have their flaws.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] 小林 卍:
what's wrong with the fingerprint sensor? works for me as it should
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Batfink33:
Yes, it's fine for me too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Cyrax-001:
Fingerprint is absolutely flawless. I get almost 8 hours SOT, the camera is decent. And you definitely don't buy a fold for the camera
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sunnywilliams135:
Sometimes it doesn't work properly
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] hkr:
Mine works properly all the time, with 3 different fingers, depending on how I hold it when pressing the on button.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
New OTA pulled down today (CVC9, April 1 security patch) and (of course) no sim card manager. I guess this is never getting it. My unlocked S21 Ultra has had it and working fine on Verizon with esim. This is very unfortunate as I love this device but without esim it's basically a deal breaker.

I cannot imagine the Z Fold 4 (if there is one) NOT having esim capability in USA but then again this is Samsung we're talking about! ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] cpufrost:
Mine does too! Wish other phones would adopt this format and stop with the bloody behind screen FP readers!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iceepyon:
I have recently upgraded to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, I've had it for a week now. I am loving the experience with it so far. I find myself using my SGTS5e less now, in fact when my cell contract with my SGTS5e runs out next year, I may actually sell it. Seeing as I will probably be using my Z Fold 3 for everything anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Axln:
Hi, I'm a noob and just got a Z fold3 from the Philippines, but I'm now using it here in Australia. Looks like there are features which I can't use because it's not compatible. I was wondering if I could flash the firmware with an Aussie region firmware so I can maximise the features of this expensive phone.

Appreciate your inputs and thanks in advance!

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iceepyon:
What features can't you use in Australia? As all international models of the Fold 3 are exactly the same, with the exception of the models released in the US. Due to the fact that the US uses different cells bands.

If you are talking about not being able to use Samsung Wallet in Australia. Flashing the Aussie firmware onto your Philipino Fold 3 won't help. As the IMEI number of your Fold 3 will automatically inform Samsung Wallet that your Fold 3 was released for the Philipino Market, so you won't be able to use Samsung Wallet on your Fold 3 in Austrailia.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Axln:
Hi, I was able to flash the software from XTC to XSA (Aussie openline) and was able to use Samsung Wallet since then.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] iceepyon:
That is interesting..... I would have thought that when they detected that the IMEI number was from a Philipino unit it might have prevented you from using Samsung Wallet in Austrailia and registering Aussie credit cards on it to use

Hi!

Im new to this forum and just got my first HTC (and WM phone).

How do I let the phone use wifi instead of gprs? I have configured my own wifi and connected it but still the phone insist to connect via gprs (deleting gprs settings is not an option here).

Other issue is that windows mobile center doesn't recognize my phone. Windows (vista 64) will install everything smooth but mobile center just does not recognize the phone (tried with usb and bt and two different computers).
[HTC Wings] lrieska:
Ok, resolved how to disconnect the gprs. Still have the 2 problems left, how to make the wifi priority and how to connect to windows mobility center

Hello,

I have a Moto G 5G Plus with Android 11 and I would like to know if there is an option to have the phone in "sound", but that only audible warnings are heard in calls (for whatspp, emails and other applications, only notice by vibration). I've searched the menu but can't find any options. My wife's phone is a Motorola One Action and I have the same problem. I think this is a "problem" in the stock layer of Android, a partner with a smartphone from another brand (Samsung), and also with Android 11, can do it through the volume menu.

Hope someone can help me ;)

Hey ,

Does anyone have any idea on how to successfully change the csc of watch active 2 to get ecg , bp and samsung pay .

The technoproz method ( mentioned below) on youtube seems to be old and outdated.

Moreover it requires going back to tizen 4.x , which in my opinion is a restriction now as with latest fw you cannot downgrade..

Hi all

I have a Galaxy mini S4 i9195i previously on android 4.4.2.

Few days a go I ugdraded the device to LineageOs18 (android 11) via TWRP.

On my 4.4.2 I had the habbit to dim screen (reduce contrast) for luminosity diminution via Blue light filter apps. Because during night, even minimum luminosity is too much on this model.

I can read the smartphone when I can't sleep the night and not wake up my wife with contrast reduction :)

On the new android 11 installation I can't do the same because when I want to grant permission (this is a new permission apparently) Android say to me "this function risk to slow your phone so this is disabled..."

I don't care if my phone is a little slowly to read google news.

I just want to dim the screen via some overlay apps, please see the screenshots attached to this post.

PS : I have already activated the option via System -} developper option.

If you have any idea ? Have a good day all xda. Neflerine
