[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sweetboy02125:
I hate the flap so I cut it off and mount the spen on the back with super glue lol

Edit: official glue at the middle. Much easier to hold and avoid rocking when unfold
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Drnms:
the only problem with this setup would be that the phone cannot lie flat once unfoldid.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sweetboy02125:
i haven't glued SPen yet so still flat so far. May not use Spen at all. Only the back attached. WIll look for the front screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Drnms:
Thanks ! i was wondering if you could glue the thin bracket alone , spen case can easily slide in and out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sweetboy02125:
I glue it to the middle now so easier to hold and avoid rocking when unfold. Yes you can glue the other alone but it will look a bit ugly (I did try before - thicker and without spen it does look beat up lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] rquellet:
I recommend only cutting the top cover flap off and keeping the pen silo portion of the case where it is from factory. I did this today and really like it so far. Thickness of the phone stays the same when pocketed. The pen silo actually acts like a grip for your fingers when the phone is unfolded too
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] rafik_wahby:
Can you put some photo's please?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] rquellet:
This is what I mean by the pen silo being a grip for your fingers. Acts like a ledge of sorts in landscape orientation. Main problem of course is that when in folded orientation, the pen flaps around a bit - but it isn't as bad as I thought it'd be
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] rafik_wahby:
Looks good.

Will the pen flaps scratch the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] rquellet:
Doubtful. The cover screen is gorilla glass and the inside of the case is micro fiber
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr-Zhag:
I saw this on YouTube. Lol. I don't know what real reason to my the case like this. Nothing help.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] t3ch187:
I just did this. You solved 2 issues. 1-got rid of the flap and 2-gave support for holding while open. Great idea!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] rquellet:
Right! I've been pleasantly surprised just how well cutting the front flap off has worked out. Another plus is that this doesn't interfere with wireless charging. It's pretty comfortable holding the tablet with just my left hand now too
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sweetboy02125:
i did try that and the moving part killing me so i cut it off too lol. The spen for me in the middle of the hand when folded create better grip (same with unfold - not moving parts)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Kevin_xail:
What glue did you use for this? I wonder if I could get the stylus to stick to the official silicone case...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sweetboy02125:
Just normal super glue at $.99 cent stores
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] MaddHood:
I'm thinking of buying a stylus holder that you can buy and stick to just about anything. It would look and function just as similar. I hate this case but I'm not sure I want to destroy it yet. Having had a Mate 20 X I'm used to having the stylus separate. Actually still have the leather holder I bought for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm thinking of doing the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] piezan:
Here is what I did. What two pen holders off Amazon for like $15. They have adhesive that connects to any kind of plastic it won't work with metal for some reason. I also got the plastic case off of Amazon and I'm just using the back. It not only works and stays in it but it also wireless charges too even though it's held up slightly
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm doing something similar. I ordered a couple of these:

in-Line Multi Functional Foldable Stylus Pen Magnetic Holder Comparable with 1st & 2nd Gen, Keeps The Flatness, Supports 2nd Gen Pencil Wireless Charging (Black) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B097H5J78T/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_XP4TF2MJCCFYH0QK4250?psc=1

I liked the idea of one long pen holder instead of two small ones.

Also, if you check Amazon, those Ringke holders you have should be three for $10, not two for $15.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] piezan:
This is a great idea. Only thing that I would worry about is the magnet. I thought it said something about keeping magnets away from the phone when I first turned it on after purchase but I could be mistaken
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
I think there's a magnet in it, the speakers likely, and I think it warned to keep sensitive items like credit cards away from the phone. My only concern will be if my idea interferes with wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] piezan:
Ahhh I see. I really wish the og case was less floppy. I really love this phone but this is the best I can do with what we have have to work with
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Pope:
Every app I download soon after becomes altered. My system apps, when I have the option to view the app in Google play store, a window pops up that says I could not connect, try again later.

[Sony Xperia 1 III] soundslike1981:
Hi all,

Received my 1 iii yesterday, spent several hours setting it up, tweaking, testing, transferring files--and love it. Been an LG V-series user for the last six years, but with LG bowing out and having moved toward radiused corners, rounded glass, notches, etc. anyway--I'm very glad Sony is still out there making sane, non-compromised phones with basic features like microSD, no hole punch, and headphone jacks that are now treated as "niche" or "enthusiast".

BUT, unfortunately, having a very odd problem, and can't find any examples of anyone else having the issue... but it basically makes the phone unusable.

Literally any time the screen turns off--whether via pressing the power button, or via an inactiivty screen time out--the phone either shuts down, or restarts.

I've done a factory reset several times, tested it with fully restored apps/settings/personal data/etc., and totally un-restored, makes no difference--the issue always happens. So it's not the fault of any setting I altered, app I installed or disabled, etc.

I remember the first time I booted up the phone--but none of the factory reset times since then--that it said something about some setting being on to prevent battery wear from the phone being accidentally turned on during shipping. So maybe there's some bizarre setting somewhere that auto-shuts-down the phone when the screen turns off? Otherwise I'm at a total loss...

Thanks in advance for any help!!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
Here is one of two reviews from Amazon about this phone:

"Got in the infinity reboot issue right out of the box...a $1200+ phone, very disappointed 😞.

Got it today on the release. Then start setup and update. Not even until all set up finished, it restarted first time. Then again in just about 15mins. Overall been through restart 12 times. Try hard reset and all other methods, not helping. Return....."

So, unless you are the one who left this review...you are not alone! This type of stuff makes me so disappointed!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] soundslike1981:
Sounds like the reviewer on Amazon was having a different problem. Mine stays on perfectly fine as long as one is interacting with it--only shuts down/restarts if the screen turns off.

Given the variety of software states in which the problem occurs--vlank setup, full set-up, safe mode--seems like a rare hardware issue. As long as it can be replaced with a correctly functioning unit quickly, it's still the phone I want...

If not, I guess I ride out my LG V50 till it dies, and then quit using smart phones...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] soundslike1981:
Having to ship it in for warranty repair. Seems like almost certainly a hardware problem--sounds like I "won" the lemon lottery. A bummer, but not an indictment of the phone generally.

But I'm still really digging the phone--when it works. Did a video A/B with my LG V50, and while it didn't strike me as miles better--it definitely was when full-screen. Not having to look at rounded corners and a notch is worth a lot to me. With font and display set to smallest settings, *love* the look and roominess of the screen.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
I agree with not wanting notches, or punch holes...this is why I am interested in this phone...PLUS I truly miss having a notification LED. However, so far the reviews from end users/owners...not the "pro" reviewers on YouTube..is leaning towards the negative! My last three phones have been from OnePlus. Currently on the 8T. I know many have started to slam OnePlus for their practice of late patches and higher prices...but I have not had even ONE problem with any of the OnePlus phones I've had! They just work. I've had the 6, 7-Pro, and now the 8T. There's nothing out there that even interests me any longer that doesn't overheat, or freeze, or have unnecessary dedicated assistant buttons??? Disgusted with them all. I just might have to take a harder look at Apple!!!!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] soundslike1981:
Outside of what appears to be a truly random and uncommon hardware issue that's affecting mine per this thread--I actually really loved the 1 mk iii so far.

I haven't had overheating issues, camera seemed excellent, loved the hardware build quality, *LOVE* having a proper screen again (including no notches, aspect ratio, and tons of room w/ fonts and appearance set to smallest). I will never buy a phone that doesn't have microSD support, and access on this phone is awesome (no tool needed).

I wouldn't be too quick to write it off--especially not for the likes of Apple, who provide a hugely compromised, feature-removing, closed-ecosystem product at an inflated price for what you get.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] soundslike1981:
Keep in mind--it's the internet, so you're going to far disproportionatly have people needing to discuss problems. Folks for whom nothing goes wrong--for any product--won't tend to seek out places like this to say so. So I wouldn't let a really small sample of issues unduly color your view...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Mikehbw:
Hi I have the exact same issue. Received mine on the 24th and transferred everything over from Oppo find X2 pro. Thought it was me at first when trying to wake but it rebooted. All fine until used in car QI base. After 20 minute drive picked it up and tried to wake only for the same thing to happen. Did this several times yesterday and this morning both on and off charge and while cool to touch. Very disappointing as expected more for something that cost nearly £1200! Like the phone a lot and prefer it over the Oppo but cannot find a way around this. A new 256k micro SD card also being used so have tried without this, without the EE sim and factory reset but still it happens. It's unusable as is so will have to be replaced, unless any suggestions?

Have had a few good Android phones from Huawei P20 pro, Mate 20X to current Oppo in recent times but never had an issue like this.

Having to swap back to the Oppo is very time consuming and exasperating!

Shame as this is a stunningly good phone.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Mikehbw:
Forgot to say there are others on here with similar issue, under random reboot thread.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] soundslike1981:
After sending in for "repair" and receiving it back with no improvement (but "repaired"), Sony has finally agreed I'm due a replacement unit. Have shipped my first unit off, due to arrive to them next Wednesday. Will hopefully receive a properly-functioning replacement soon thereafter... Agree that, if the phone didn't have this bizarre issue, it would be great--very close to what I want in a phone (versus the myriad options out there that don't offer what I want, and insist on absurd design choices I detest).

So, we'll see. Certainly frustrating to have an issue like this on a phone that costs more than plenty of computers...

(To be clear, I had the issue literally every time, from the beginning, regardless of what I had/hadn't set up, installed, sim card/no sim card, micro SD/no micro SD, etc.).
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Maazellat:
I have Xperia™1 III but the phone is really stable for me, no random reboot. I have only heating issue. Xperia™ XZ2 Premium hasn't heat like this phone. My phone is Hong Kong device 🇭🇰
[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
Most likely not what caused your issue...but...it is NOT a good idea to allow any backup to install all your previous apps from an "old" phone to a new one. I know it can be a major pain and very time consuming to install everything from scratch when setting up a new phone...however...when you allow a backup to flow freely onto a new phone you are allowing all the junk to come back also! It's up to you, but I always install everything from scratch and it may not be related but...I have owned many, many phones and NEVER had all the problems that so many have all across the board. Am I just lucky, or is it because I have so much experience with computers and know how to set things up properly? YMMV
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Mikehbw:
I think you have been lucky😀

Like you I have never had a problem and been in IT since the early 80's but this isn't something that's has been moved over. Sadly, the phone behaves the same wether out of the box or fully migrated. In the PC world I saw something similar with overheating and poorly cooled AMD processors in the 90's and am wondering if this is a heat related component batch issue?

Sony need to get a grip on this sharpish or they will be looking at refunds, which is never good.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
The reboots are caused by the fingerprint reader. My new phone would bootloop while fast charging if my one and only configuration after a factory reset was setting a fingerprint.

DO NOT SEND IT IN FOR A WARRANTY REPAIR - - IT WILL GET WORSE

Get a refund.

First, Sony sent it to SBE with FedEx Ground, which currently takes about 2 weeks.

Second, SBE returned it bricked and voided my warranty. They said I flashed it but I had sent it in new and unmodified. I didn't even think they returned my own phone back because it had a UK/EU label and destroyed firmware. Sony Support would no longer help me because I was no longer a customer. SBE insisted I was a firmware flasher that deserved nothing. I ran EMMA and it showed my phone IMEI, locked bootloader, and stock firmware.

I finally found somebody on Sony Support who would give me an RMA. Maybe it was their mistake, but I wasted no time shipping it back. I'm doing a credit card charge reversal if I get any more crap from Sony/SBE.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Mikehbw:
I have spoken to Sony UK tech support and they have confirmed there is a reboot issue with some1iii's. Apparently, second line technical support have identified the issue (software) and there will be a revision released to cure this. When pressed, they couldn't give me a date for this and were a little vague. I was advised to return to my supplier for a refund.

Not good on a phone costing £1200 and surprised they haven't got their act together more quickly. They seem to be struggling getting phones shipped presently and my supplier has confirmed a 14 day wait if I want to re-order. I don't know if this is just poor advanced planning by Sony UK or if this is a Sony global problem trying to get hold of the components for manufacture.

Despite all the issues, this phone still ticks all the boxes for me so have decided to wait for the dust to settle!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] soundslike1981:
Good to know there's some awareness now on Sony's part of this issue, and a plan yo resolve it via software (?). If the second unit I get has the same issue, I guess I'll wait a bit for that aoftware resolution--but deeply hoping I won't have the issue again.

I will say, I believe I tested not registering any fingerprints on at least one of the numerous factory resets I tried, and I believe the issue still occurred--had seen threads of similar issues stemming from the fingerprint reader on other manufacturer's phones, so tried to rule it out...

The original phone I got back from SBE wasn't bricked, it just wasn't in any way improved. Fortunately Sony didn't make any weird claims that I'd done anything wrong (I wouldn't know how to mess with "rooting" or whatever--no interest/need to). It was delivered to Sonyin San Diego by FedEx today--so hoping my replacement unit ships in the next day or two...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] soundslike1981:
Agreed. With LG gone, I really want the Xperia 1 iii to pan out--only phone that has microSD, no notches/currves/radiused corners, a hogh-res screen, and a headphone jack. If I can't get one to work properly, I'll probably just buy another LG V50, second-hand.

have you tried fastboot oem unlock and flash with fastboot?if fastboot isnt working for you, you should try it in linux, this is what fixed my bricked prestigio tablet.

or try the chipset flashing software?

also this: https://xdaforums.com/t/fix-no-recovery-mode-no-download-mode-after-ota-on-rooted-lg-g2.2582142/, and if this doesent work i think you can try shorting the pins on the motherboard to get it into flashing mode, there is always a way but takes a long time researching and trial/error,

im still trying with my device ill post here if i fix it

Hi to all,

I hope you are well?

I need usb driver for Windows 10 and Unihertz Jelly-Pro.

Till now the Jelly-Pro was correctly connected over MTP-Protocol with the USB-cable, without a problem.

But now I can't connect anymore.

I don't know why.

I think I need to only reinstall the driver new.

But I don't have a serious download source for the driver.

Do you know where I can download the driver?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Kind Regards, Elena
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
In general, you don't have to download an USB driver for your android device.

Check the corresponding item in Device Manager of your Windows 10. If there is a yellow exclamation mark there, uninstall it and then reconnect your Jelly-Pro with your Windows 10 PC.

Windows 10 will automatically recognize the device and install a proper driver for it.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
But if you still want to download and install the driver yourself, the Android SDK contains a generic USB driver by Google for Android devices. Extract it from that SDK, or just download it from an Amazon Drive share here, https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/cFndBD8qLIZW582bVNIVdTGrBV20DLUa7omSjVghtkh .

My XT2113-2 has been in EDL mode for 6 weeks. I've tried blank-flash and did not work. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] kyle@earylyupgrade:
try rescue and smart assistant
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] fddm:
That obviously won't work in EDL mode, Smart Assistant requires a phone that can actually boot.

Short of pulling the emmc and programming externally or stealing a signed programmer, blankflash is your only recovery option. Try different ports, computers, and operating systems until you can finally enter fastboot and restore stock firmware. Who knows what's really going wrong with a description as vague as "did not work", though.
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] Jasonwoodruff2018:
I changed the active slot to b. The phrase "did not work" means that i've tried several computers, through linux and windows. So many times over as to remove any of the initial humor I may have had in regards to the mistake I made to put the phone in this state. Ive tried numerous blank flashes and even combinations of blank flashes with modified xml's as well as changing the elf loaders placed in the singleimage.bin. And even numerous loaders from from various sources online. Using emmcdl, qfil, qpst, qsaharaserver, qdl from github, a few others I cannot recall right now. Would appear to me that the only file that I can get the phone to accept without hesitation is the xbl from the latest firmware package. Of course that doesnt do anything for the phone. Updated firmware doesnt seem to accept the blankflash from late 2020. I have toyed with the idea od SDcard boot but I do not have a backup of mmcblk0.

[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
Ok if you haven't fixed it, I know you're shaking your head but humor me and hold power and vol down for 10 seconds. Also for schnits and giggles how did you get it in edl? I know a fastboot command that messes up the phone until you issue the command again and it was like nothing happened.
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] Jasonwoodruff2018:
I was foolishly playing around with the phone like I do everything electronic but this time I decided to do something I knew I probably shouldn't... Slot b. I've since fixed it. Found blank flash was added to lolinet dated 10-6-2021. Now phone wants me to update .. not going to happen. I'll find myself bored one day and foul it up again without recourse. Just kidding but it could happen. I enjoy "testing the waters" on things and every once in a while it doesn't turn out good.
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] Jasonwoodruff2018:
I thought it was supposed to revert back to the last bootable slot if the chosen one was not bootable but that didn't happen. Might be a perfect time to grab a copy of mmcblk0 and post it.
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] bobbyp1086:
I'm the same way, I'll find that fastboot command for you to see if that was it
