[Google Pixel Fold] hanschke:
Protection is shipped but waiting for the phone 😉
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
Anyone hear when the review embargo lifts?
[Google Pixel Fold] raymondotango:
Lifted. There are YouTube videos already.
[Google Pixel Fold] skriefal:
That one looks a bit too pleathery for my tastes. Yeah - I'm picky. :) I have two inexpensive non-MagSafe cases that I'll use until I spot a Mag case that I like.

And I also woke up to a "shipped" email. The package seems to be awaiting pickup still, but should be starting its travels sometime today.
[Google Pixel Fold] T&C:
The embargo's must be lift because the reviews are coming out...

Not sure on the camera being like the 7A vs the Pro?

Plus the battery at 4 hours on closed screen?

Hmn wonder why twitter can't go full screen if Sammy can do it hopefully Google will fix it in an update
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
Samsung has the force full screen feature, forget what they call it, but you can force a phone GUI to fit the screen in the options. I know you know that, it's for the new fold owners that might not be aware. It doesn't appear the fold has that feature, unless reviewers have been missing it.

Let's hope app developers pick up the ball on it because I'm not holding my breath on Google adding the feature. They have to know about it; the exclusion is a choice.

Edit: Just on a bunch I decided to check on the store and see what date it shows for shipping. It says 29th to 5th, was 28th-29th yesterday, and today it's actually shipped with tracking showing the 28th. Lol Definitely gotta take the store estimate with a grain of salt.
[Google Pixel Fold] sawdoctor:
I have the z fold3 and know what you mean. The strange thing is Twitter, twitter doesn't need forcing full screen on the zfold. Pretty much the only app I can think of that needs forcing into full screen on zfold is Instagram
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
Ah, I see, things have gotten better then; I didn't have to force too many on the fold but it was a few for sure. To me, it doesn't look like an issue; most of the infinite scrolling apps of those kinds work fine on a normal-sized front screen and this phone has that.

The only thing that caught my eye in the early reviews that I don't like is that you can't have separate setups for the screens. It's an odd that they omitted it, considering the ability to differentiate between two screen sizes is built into the launcher for just that purpose. It caught me by surprise and I'll likely run Action Launcher until they fix it.
[Google Pixel Fold] bs3pro:
Welp, I'm a victim of the famous Google canceling orders for no valid reason. Idiots. So I re ordered, with a different credit card...and....they f'ing canceled it again. Guess I'm out. Ridiculous. Thousands of people on the internet complaining about google just canceling preorders.
[Google Pixel Fold] kartheek4u:
Mine shipped yesterday but won't come until Wednesday because of FedEx. Although it shipped from warehouse that is 15 miles away from home. They only go by the Delivery Date decided by Google.

Also, has anyone noticed the weight on the package? Mine says 16lbs. It's very unusual.
[Google Pixel Fold] Darkness4life:
My order has shipped and looking to be delivered today so when I finish work , will have a new gadget to play with . I hope everyone else receives there gadget soon as well .
[Google Pixel Fold] Darkness4life:
Don't worry buddy , your get it soon then we can all move onto which emulators to install , tweaks etc lol
[Google Pixel Fold] Darkness4life:
I heared that they had some issues with the payment system . Give them a call in the morning and discuss it buddy
[Google Pixel Fold] Darkness4life:
My case shipped before the phone and watch but I have delivery dates for today but none for case .
[Google Pixel Fold] sawdoctor:
Watched this video and issue is there on all launchers
[Google Pixel Fold] bs3pro:
I did. There's absolutely NOTHING they can do unfortunately. Google really is the pits when it comes to customer service. Hopefully my 3rd order goes through. Expected delivery date now end of July. Grrrr
[Google Pixel Fold] Darkness4life:
I see buddy , sorry your going through this and hope order goes through and you get your gadget friend
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
Yeah, it is, but Action Launcher is a significantly better launcher so there is no reason not to move to it. The only thing that would have kept me on the stock launcher would have been the ability to have two different inner and outer screens.

The only thing that would have kept me on the stock launcher would have been the ability to have different inner and outer screens. Action Launcher is a significantly better launcher so there is no reason not to move to it without that ability.
[Google Pixel Fold] Odin2347:
Google cancelled my day 1 preorder for "issues with payment" but I used the Google store financing. Customers service won't do anything and if I reorder I get it in August what a joke. I'm going to get a galaxy fold
[Google Pixel Fold] bs3pro:
It's seriously fd up. That's why a lot of people who had July ship dates, getting them now, they are getting the stock of the people who pre-ordered early. Google could screw up a wet dream. They suck
[Google Pixel Fold] wattsja:
I got this to add to the Google Pixel Fold case to use my MagSafe Pop-Socket and MagSafe Pop-Socket Wallet.
[Google Pixel Fold] keithleger:
Ordered June 12th on Google Fi, was given a July ship date...last night got updated to shipping and scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Guess all those people with orders getting cancelled made more available for me??? Happy surprise. Black 256gb version
[Google Pixel Fold] sawdoctor:
Received mine this afternoon, looks nicer in real life than on YouTube. Just need Google to release the firmware so I can root it

[Google Pixel Fold] i_maq:
Finally got mine!! 😁
[Google Pixel Fold] swarlos:
Thought so far? Mine is coming tomorrow!
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
Mine has once more been delayed from Jun 29/30 to Aug/Sep.

Getting a bit irritating. I'm thinking of bowing out.
[Google Pixel Fold] bs3pro:
3rd order cancelled now. Google is seriously fd up. Oh well, pre order over tomorrow, I'm out. Enjoy everyone
[Google Pixel Fold] swarlos:
I’m sorry to hear that. 😞it’s so weird that Google a multi billion dollar company can’t get this crap right after all these years.
[Google Pixel Fold] maverixz:
So far so good. Was very warm during and for about 90 minutes while it was settling down to my apps and setup. A bit stubby is what I'd say about how it feels in the hand but definitely comfortable.
[Google Pixel Fold] swarlos:
Cool sounds good!
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
Slipped yet another week this afternoon. No longer in Aug!!!!!!!!

For a while it would move further into the future and then bounce back. The last three times, it only moves further away. Damn them.
[Google Pixel Fold] bkdodger:
Stopping by to say hello. It's been a while since I've been around these parts. Hope everyone is close to getting their deliveries. Those that ordered early and good luck to those that are waiting... I ordered an initial day but then I canceled and redid the order two days later to add the LTE watch.. I just received the phone last night..
[Google Pixel Fold] wattsja:
It was an emotional rollercoaster yesterday, but I finally got my phone last night. I had to pick it up from a FedEx location in Walgreens because the driver did not ring the doorbell/knock. I was home ALL day and have him on the doorbell camera, walking up and putting a sticker on the door saying to pick it up at Walgreens. He never tried to actually deliver it. Anyway, I got it and all is well so far.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
If mine ever comes (they added another week yesterday afternoon to sometime in Sept), how do you specify an alternative delivery like Walgreens if you are not at home? In the past I could opt to deliver to one of those third party places but they would not try HOME. Is there now some option to pick a secondary delivery location. Again, in the past, it would go back to one of their own outposts miles and tons of traffic away. Again, it is ever comes it was suppose to be a Fedex delivery.

Sorry to be somewhat off topic but it takes my mine off the constant bouncing of delivery dates and recently only getting further and further away.

Damn, damn, damn... Just checked and they added another week - now three months from now. They have to be kidding!
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
Mine arrived yesterday but I'm traveling; DHL is sending it up ahead of me so I've got another wait. O_o
[Google Pixel Fold] wattsja:
I didn't do anything. That is the default for FedEx [around here], I guess. The tracking says they will try delivery "tomorrow," .. but they won't. They drop it off at Walgreens's FedEx station, and it sets there. I had another one I was going to let them re-deliver it the next day ... 3 days later, it was still at Walgreens.

I wish I had a magic answer for you, but it seems to be what they are doing around here.
[Google Pixel Fold] T&C:
Its in...mixed feeling its nice, crazy heavy, waiting to see what others think if its me or the screen seems real dull and brightness is at 100%

But going to play with it more before I make decision...also testing motorola razr 40
[Google Pixel Fold] Colchiro:
Mine was originally the first week of August.

Yesterday it was the second week. Today it's July 19-27. Ordered from Fi. I think Google's just effing with us.
[Google Pixel Fold] flutas:
Yeah, I ordered a few days ago.

Order screen: July 17-19th

Confirmation screen: July 19-20th

Order in history: Bouncing between July 19-20th and August 1-9th, no in between at all.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
Mine was stagnant for the second week of Sept for about 5 days. Suddenly today it is back to Mid-Aug.

As I wrote elsewhere I am getting fairly cranky with this game of delivery Russian roulette. I am hoping to get out and see a real one at one of the carriers in the next few days. I am also Fi which seems to have helped NOT!
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
If you get your hands on it in a local shop and hate it; could be the late shipping is doing you a favor. Of course if you love it you're really gonna be torqued, but what can you do? I hope it works out for ya however it may be.
[Google Pixel Fold] orbital247:
+1 on the Dull Screen element, next to the Fold4 it's really 'muddy' and in bright sunlight it's barely useable.
[Google Pixel Fold] bs3pro:
The dull screen thing doesn't make sense...it's got more nits than the fold4. If you mean dull colors, yes, pixels unfortunately like to dumb down the colors. Root is needed to add saturation. This is one are that pisses me off with Google. Give us the option in the settings. The stock color options suck.

Btw...after 4 cancelled orders due to their stupid issues, they gave me a $250 Google credit. I just ordered again. Hopefully it goes through this time.
[Google Pixel Fold] Colchiro:
Today, July 19-20.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
Now Aug 2-10.

Veni, vidi, vici​

Although, change "I conquered" to "it conquered!"

I finally got out to a Verizon store and saw and played with it somewhat. It was constrained by being mounted to the wall unit which only allowed it to rotate 360 degrees and be folded. I guess they no longer use leashes to allow it to be moved away from the mounting bracket.

I liked it. I did visually notice the fold or seam but it was not really much of a visual issue. I could also feel it as I scrolled my finger across it. It folds up nicely.

I did notice one anomaly. The image on the inside did not fully rotate with the device. The image only rotated 270 degrees. In one position (possibly sim card slot up?) the image did not rotate . I think this occurred when browsing and using YouTube.

The calendar took the entire screen - nice. They did not have the weather app installed.

Now to wait impatiently.... (tick..tick..tick)
[Google Pixel Fold] Colchiro:
That's normal behavior for an Android phone.
[Google Pixel Fold] cm0002:
Just ordered today through T-Mobile, being promised July 18 (We'll see if that holds lol)
[Google Pixel Fold] andybot23:
I put in my first order with Google last week with delivery on the 18th-19th. Do Google typically ship before the release date? I know T-Mobile does.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
That's interesting. As I ordered May 26th and delivery is not till the first week of Aug. And it has bounced around a bunch. Maybe Google does not realize Lewis and Clark were able to find this corner of the US years ago.
[Google Pixel Fold] andybot23:
Mine was August in the beginning..then changed to July. Who knows whats going on in the warehouses.
[Google Pixel Fold] rbrown24:
I noticed this as well. Any advice on root apps to add saturation. I have the fold 4 and play with the pixel fold at AT&T, and my fold seems to be the better screen despite specs. My pixel doesn't arrive until Friday.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
I just looked and the only place to deal with White Balance is in the camera. If I recall, my Blackberries had options to tweak color warmth and white balance.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] txbandit:
Hello, I have an app that I run on my diamond, but the only way I can run it is finding the file through the File Explorer. I want to add it to the program favorites for quick launch but the program doesn't show in the list of programs. Can someone please help me on how I can add this program to the favorites? Would be even better if I could integrate it into the touchflo menu at the bottom. Please Please.

Update: I was able to add the program I wanted with the Diamond TF3D Config. I was even able to add a custom icon. Very cool.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Parzival__:
Good morning all,

I have an S23 Ultra Spectrum and I'm trying to see if anyone knows how to force SIM unlock the phone thats willing to tell me how.

I know its possible as I just had it done to my wife's Fold 4.

I was skeptical at first (and Em not discussing who and what service as I think thats a violation of rules) but I payed the money through PayPal for the protection. He literally remoted into my computer (Really just in a vm in case he did something screwed and I could just blow it away) and from my computer was able to run a few programs and commands and with some assistance on my end with the phone physically My wife's fold 4 is now on T-Mobile even though we weren't eligible for Spectrum unlock due to the 60 or 90 days or whatever the time frame is.

He cant be the ONLY one out there who knows how to do this. Can anyone help out here.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Parzival__:
This community is so frustrating. The one community that has the collective knowledge and know how yet absolutely nothing (that can actually help people) can get accomplished due to "policy".

I purchased my phone outright. I own it. Who cares about a multi-billion dollar corporations money grab scheme over property I own. So frustrating. If this community cant can someone point me in the right direction of a community that can or is that against policy too.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Next time just buy a carrier-unlocked phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
If it's paid in full, pay for the base $14 Spectrum plan for 60 days, and they'll unlock it for you.

[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] MomSaysImSpecl:
Hi,

i'm trying to unlock my ROG phone 6 with the official "Unlock Device App" from ASUS, but i alway get the error "Failed to unlock your device, please try again later.[24803]". I also don't see the "OEM unlocking" setting in my Developer settings.

I'm using Android 13, Build number: WW_33.0610.2810.104

Does anyone know how to solve this?

yes i have same issue too. ( i have rog 6 pro tencent edition. )
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ZChuckMoris:
The reason why people can't unlock bootloader now is that Asus's service, to which the application makes a request to, is under maintenance from May 2. Check the message from moderator on Asus forum.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] mselfon:
Yes, they finally responded to me with this explanation but refuse to provide a date when the maintenance will be completed.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Andrologic:
It's that great customer care that ASUS is known for :)
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] RicoMartins:
From what I've read... We don't have a date to be able to use our unlocked devices, is that it?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] mselfon:
Asus replied today. All they said is that it will be restored sometime in the CY Q3 timeframe (July-Aug-Sept)
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] requestxill:

Is there another way to get the bootloader unlocked other than the App from ASUS?

I have a ROG 6D that I need Android Auto to become an System App as it didn't come preinstalled.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Andrologic:

I am sorry to say I do not have a specific date, but they are still working on the maintenance and the ETA for it to be done is in November this year.

[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Dredead:
So much for the long touted "Q3". Where did you get that response?

Is there no way to obtain a serverless unlock?

I need root to enable vowifi by adding the mbn files for my carrier urgently.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] thevirgonian:
What the heck? I have a ROG Phone 3...I am ABOUT to get the ROG 6 online...but I won't waste my time if I can't unlock the bootloader...is this still an issue?!!
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Andrologic:
As I have advised before, ASUS cannot be trusted at all, they're easily among the worst in the phone industry when it comes to customer care. I would not buy the device hoping that the unlock service will become available again. They may be lying just to sell devices - ASUS would do that.

I'm off to Red Magic next - They can only be as bad as ASUS, I don't believe it can get any worst...
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] thevirgonian:
Holy CRAP. The ROG phones are about the only ones with all the good frequencies for North America (T-Mobile specifically). Check out kimovil to see for yourself. I would love to get the OnePlus Ace Pro but I am pretty sure it wouldn't work very well in the USA for T-Mobile. Root is not an option... I have to have the bootloader unlocked. There are very few options at this point. I am not sure Nubia would allow bootloader unlock either.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Andrologic:
Yes, the situation is not looking good at the moment. Also, ASUS is Taiwanese and not Chinese, so I have favored them so far but my patience is running out.

I believe you can unlock the Nubia devices, but you risk dealing with other issues like lost fingerprint censor as well as some other annoying things. They also don't have the sideport and the speaker quality is not as good as the ROG's. I'm not really convinced they're good devices...

Luckily I have both the ROG 5 and ROG 3 unlocked but with broken displays - so for now I may just repair them and wait it out.

Everyone should complain hard to ASUS through their customer service and forums. Otherwise don't expect they're in a hurry to restore the unlock service. They don't care about customers.

Last resort is for someone to help make a firmware patch that can be injected from EDL mode to enable the OEM unlock option on the ROG devices. It was done on the ROG 2 back in time I have tried but no luck so far...
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] thevirgonian:
Yes I am on my rooted ROG phone 3. This is still a good phone but I also had to replace my screen. I did it myself a year or so ago and it is now about to go again. I tried to new Motorola Edge+ 2023 from Amazon, which is easily rootable (just a 96 hour wait after it gets online). It is actually a great phone but it only has 8GB of RAM so when I try to do more than 1 or 2 things at a time it locks up like crazy, the System UI crashes, and I usually have to reboot. So it is going back. Probably good for 95% of people, but I am that 1% that uses my phone for everything.
