[Google Pixel Fold] Colchiro:
UPDATE: The upper corner of the front case part broke while in the drink holder in my car today when running errands. It broke near the hinge. Phone has never been dropped or treated roughly. Threw some SuperGlue on it for now and going to let it dry for 12 hours. We'll see how long that lasts.

I just wanted to share the case I bought and I'm currently loving it, it's a leather folio by Torro £30 on Amazon

TORRO Phone Case Compatible with Google Pixel Fold – Premium Leather Wallet Case with Stand Function and Card Slots (Black) https://amzn.eu/d/j025GTv

It also allows wireless charging while in the case.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
I have so far settled on that case. I would prefer if it closed a bit tighter and I think over the last few weeks it has loosened a bit more. I also really have no need for card slots yet most of the folio cases come that way. I would just prefer less bulk and eliminating the slots would help. While I've thought about removing that section of the case, it would only make the fit even looser. I do prefer its magnet clasp over the overlapping kind on most other folio cases. I was really hoping Stilgut would make a clip case but I noticed that they never offered such cases for the Samsung fold models.
[Google Pixel Fold] Vancouverite87:
Has anyone tried applying a skin to the spine of the Fold? The cases that have the built in protection are overly bulky. Looking for another possible solution.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
I have edited and updated the photos

A little improvisation. I tend to use cases that protect the front screen so lean toward Folio or Wallet cases. But all of those seem to have card slots and cash pockets making them thicker than I want or need. Before many folio cases were available I initially got the Caseology Parallax Series which frames the front screen and protects the rear just for basic protection. Then I went with a few folio cases returning those that I really did not like. But always thought about altering the Caseology case with more front protection.

Today I hit the plastic/plexiglass shop (TAP Plastics) and had them cut a rectangle that would nearly fit the Caseology front frame. Then some dremelling (spell checker does not like dremeling either) and tapering and tweaking and temporary blue painter's tape. I will either use clear duct tape. black electrical tape or maybe some monofilament loops to craft a better hinge system.

I'm sure a 3d Printer could do a much neater, better fitting job but the plastic after cutting cost me $3.00 and a 3d printer would probably been more expensive.

Without further ado...

My ridiculously overpriced case has shipped... Only a few more weeks before my phone will have a case of equal stature in the overpriced department. O_o
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
Is it going to take weeks to get to you? Shipping via the Suez and Panama Canals and then ground shipment?
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
No, shipping is just a few days but I'm in the old country. Haven't picked a date to leave here yet; probablyy early October.

How is this holding up?
[Google Pixel Fold] lorddunlow:
So, my Tudia case snapped when I picked it up, lol. I grabbed the sides of the phone to pick it up off the table it was on, and my hand slipped to just grasping the front half of the case and that pressure snapped the thin piece on the left. I was on vacation, so I just superglued it. I ordered the dbrand grip case and other than its bulk (much too wide, really), I love this case. I feel much better having hinge protection, and the bumpers on the front aren't as frustrating as on the Tudia, but still impair extreme side touches some. The kickstand works in both orientations, although it's very slightly wobbly in landscape (crease vertical) position.
[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
Hi, nice to connect again. I have had my Pixel Fold since August, bootloader unlocked.

About my setup: I'm on A14 QPR1 Beta 2, booted and rooted with latest Magisk Canary. Banking Apps and Google Wallet all work great!

I have a Latercase blue carbon-fiber minimal case and have a Spiegen carbon-fiber MagSafe ring attached, which allows me to use several attachments, such as wireless charging battery packs and car mount. Also a magnetic Spiegen ring and a folding wallet can be optionally attached.

To change things up a little, I have a leather skin on the camera side from dbrand. It can be used by itself. It also fits perfectly under the Latercase carbon fiber case. It also fits under a minimal clear polycarbonate case that I have, if I want to show off the leather skin and still have the case protecting the back side and camera bump. I usually keep the front Latercase cover on at all times, and use one of the three combinations, above: 1. dbrand skin alone, 2. dbrand skin under the Latercase back; or, dbrand skin under the clear polyucarbonate back.

I also use a Whitstone dome glass front case friendly screen protecter and soft plastic film screen protecter(s) for the inside screen for extra protection.

I look forward to Google adding stylus compatibility and selling a custom styIus (hopefully).

I bought my Pixel Fold from Google (the Obsidion 512 G version) through Google Fi and took the $700 rebate that is credited on my monthly Google Fi payments, which was the best deal I could find for an unlocked phone. So now my Pixel 6Pro and Pixel 2XL devices are retired.

I love my Pixel Fold! It has a nice solid feel in my hand, fully functional front screen, that is comprable to what I had with the Pixel 6 Pro, although faster, brighter and clearer screen resolution. Lastly, the inside screen is great for watching videos, sports and anything else that would normally require a tablet or laptop.

[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
I'll try to get some pics uploaded, either later today or in next few days.
[Google Pixel Fold] Flippy125:
I just had this one delivered. Better quality (and cheaper) than the Pitaka. The magnets are a tiny bit stronger than the Pitaka, but wish they were a little stronger. I'd say it's about half the strength of the magnets on the Thinborne case for the S23 Ultra. Still good enough that I don't feel like it's going to fall, so I won't be returning this one

[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
As promised, here are some pics! Which ones do you like best?
[Google Pixel Fold] shigeo:
I went through a few different cases but once I got my DBrand case I never looked back. It's slim but protective and very grippy. It even has a built in folding kickstand for when its in open mode. Awesome extra are the skins that are available to dress it up =) not sponsored or anything just love their products and their quality.
[Google Pixel Fold] Flippy125:
I take it back. The front part of the case has somehow gotten loose and it's filling with lint/sand. I'm glad Amazon has a great return policy. The search is back on for an aramid case that doesn't suck.
[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
Latercase is pretty nice! I like it a lot. Pitaka is also makes a nice case. See my pics, a few posts above with my description of my various cases.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
Below is how I prevent the "detritus" issue. Years ago I had asked people to share photos of me that they had taken on a hiking excursion. They were pretty awful. I decided that the fact that they kept their phones in their pockets or purses or packs meant that the lens got dirty. I had my own example of that taking a picture in my back yard and wondering what the heck. I looked at the back of the phone and it was obvious. See the comparison photo also included.

And, yes, I also protect the front screen from damage by my improvised folio cover!!!
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
I'm having trouble posting this comparison image.
[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
I'm not sure I get your point...? Are you saying that you will get clearer pictures if you keep your lense clean? Yes, of course!

That also is the case with cameras. That is why they sell cases and lense covers for slr cameras!
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
Well, it was in response to the issue of sand and/or lint developing between the case and the phone. Keeping the phone in a micro-fiber bag or sleeve can prevent that and also keep the lens of the phone clean. Most phone cases do not protect the lens area from gunk accumulating but may protect the lens from scratches. So rather than having to specifically check the phone lens for gunk, the micro-fiber is a more constant method of keeping it clean. In any event if works for me which is what counts.
[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
Yes, I agree. It would be great if case manufacturers wouldake a lense cover.
[Google Pixel Fold] Flavio:
Before I spend a ridiculous amount on trying out cases, what case is out there that will allow the PF to lay unfolded on a surface wobble free?
[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
None! The Pixel Fold has a camera bump on one side and when fully opened and layining on a flat surface the back is uneven due to the bump.

I like to use a kickstand with my Pixel Fold that magnetically attaches to the case to allow the case to stand on the straight bottom surface and the kickstand. It provides a great 30 to 45 degree viewing angle and no wobble.

You can do this with any of the cases that I show in my posts, above with the pictures of my cases. Good Luck! You can learn alot by watching PF case reviews on YouTube.
[Google Pixel Fold] tke918:
I think any leather wallet type cases which cover camera bump don't really wobble.

I am going to try the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and Case-Mate Tough Clear Plus and will report back. It seems like some cases cover the hinges while others do not. Please post what you are using and what you think of it. Thanks.

[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
Already posted several. See posts nd photos above.
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
Yeah, I've had 3 leather wallets, no wobble. None of them fit well, but wobble, no.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
Speaking of leather cases. unless the subject is too sensitive, what ever happened with your special order case?
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
I hate to do it, but you're going to see something soon.

Edit: May as well get it over with...

Here are pictures of my fancy 200 euro case. As you'll notice, it didn't go well, the camera cutout was particularly bad.

When I first received it I immediately contacted them and the woman told me that I clearly didn't understand fine Italian craftsmanship. Which is a little odd considering I own an apartment over there with, ta dum, a number of handmade artworks sitting amid the custom built cabinets and all that fun stuff.

I've got many custom items sitting around or at times, on my person, and I told her I wanted to be refunded or was going to be forced to post pictures of what she had sent. She seemed angry, again said I don't understand what fine craftsmanship looks like, but did offer to refund my money.

Unfortunately, I was busy at the time, ironically, one of the things I was busy with was another apartment I've purchased in Sicily which I'm having remodeled. In any event I forgot about it for long enough I felt it was unfair to ask for a refund. On the other hand I also felt like people should be given fair warning. I wrestled with the ethics there for another while until I had again forgotten it.

But, here we are, you can decide for yourself.
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
Sorry you went through that. That is not fine craftsmanship, at least, not in my book. Hope you find a case that you like. I've settled for my cheap plastic frame and clear Lucite "door!"

Enjoy Sicily. I've never been. And the last few trips to Italy have concentrated on the Dolomites for hiking and cross-country skiing.
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
Nice place, both. I own an apartment in Sicily, I get over there a few times a year. You'd recognize Sicily coming and going, It's like Italy, with a little extra Italy.
[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
From the photos posted above that "Italian Craftsmanship" was not too fine!
[Google Pixel Fold] krabman:
lol, no. I was looking for the case equivalent to a finely crafted Italian suit; didn't exactly get it, did I? ;)
[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
LOL! Nope :)
[Google Pixel Fold] fred2546:
I've never been disappointed in the craftsmanship of the Stilgut folio cases but they don't make any for any foldable phones, not even Samsung which have been out for a while. Too few sold I'd guess to take the time designing any.

My current case "system" is definitely craftsman style - put together with a hammer and nails! A Caseology case to which I have affixed a Lucite front "door" taped on with Gorilla Clear Tape! But as a retiree and not a banker, lawyer or doctor, the image is much less important than the styling. It is functional for my purposes. ;)

The quirk is the clear "door" means that I sometimes try opening an app by tapping but I'm tapping on the clear door and not the real, underlying screen! :eek:
[Google Pixel Fold] Alxoom33:
Fred, there are lots of attractive cases for the Pixel Fold that are inexepensive and do not require tape, nails or a hammer. Consider a minimal carbon fiber case, or clear case with a leather skin.

[Android TV General] taratata2023:
Hello everyone,

I acquired a tv box based on Allwinner H618 - 4x ARM Cortex-A53, ARM Mali-G31, Android 12 ID build SP1A.210812.015 Rev. DE.307, ART 2.1.0, armv8l.

After much research, I was able to install the USB [VID_1f3a_PID_efe8] and ADB URL and Android ADB Interface version 10 drivers.

The connection between the PC and the TV box is made via a cable fitted with a type A male USB socket and a micro-B male USB socket.

it works great for flashing via PhoenixSuit or PhoenixUSPro.

I get all the information via ADB by the command:

cat build.prop

ro.build.id=SP1A.210812.015

ro.build.display.id=SP1A.210812.015

ro.build.version.incremental=7679548

ro.build.version.sdk=31

ro.build.version.preview_sdk=0

ro.build.version.release_or_codename=12

ro.build.flavor=blueline-user

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

ro.build.description=blueline-user 12 SP1A.210812.015 7679548 release-keys

ro.build.Bigdroid.version=BigdroidOS 2.0.1

On the other hand, I am confused, to root the box (to perform an elevation of the "superuser rights" privileges).

I tested APK applications like Kingroot_Android or Kingroot_windows, Kingo Root, dr.fone Rooter, 360 Root APK, iRoot, but nothing helped.

so, I want to attack the problem manually.

according to my research, it is necessary to start with the bootloader then the rootage. how to change access rights to target folder by chmod. from what I understood, you have to extract a fex file from the original image, rename it to bin, to reconstitute the image, to finally flash it.

I need help, on a procedure to follow, and where to start.

thank you for your time

Good morning,

probably a very basic question, so apologies for that. Can I have a physical SIM and an eSIM running together on my S23 Ultra? Model is SM-S918B/DS (bought unlocked from Samsung UK)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sharpshooterrr:
Yes, you can. Physical SIM #1 will take priority (signal bars on left side), then it's either you activate Physical SIM #2 or eSIM.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Yes you can.

Ughhh I wish Samsung sold the dual physical sim model in Australia. We only get SM-S918B with single physical SIM and eSIM.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
I wish the same in the US.

In the US is the same thing. SIM+eSIM
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] varcor:
You could have bought the SM-S9180 on eBay regardless of your country of residence. It's a dual physical SIM device with an unlockable bootloader. One never HAS TO purchase directly from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
S9180 HK version sold by some Australian importers does not have native call recording nor ESIM, which I actually use. I want dual physical SIM and eSIM, which only S918B/DS has. And it is sold almost everywhere except Australia and some Latin American countries. I could have gone back to my home country (Vietnam) and get the S918B/DS there, the problem is I don't know when I can do that.

No one even imports S918B/DS models here. I can buy them from eBay, but they have astronomical price plus import tax, because it's shipped from other countries' eBay.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Also, when I bought thr S23U Aussie model, I thought changing CSC would enable the second SIM slot. Beforehand, I check the demo unit and it does have two IMEIs.

Also I read from a post that a person changed his CSC from Singapore to Australia on his Note 20 and the second SIM slot got disabled, until he reverted to Singapore. So I deduced it was a CSC thing, but it seems like it's not the case.

Actually, changing CSC does change my model to S918B/DS, but the second SIM slot is still disabled.

I have come across many forums in the past but finally decided to create an account and be part of this community. I had a Huawei p8 lite 2017 and now own an Oppo A91, both phones are anti-modding so to speak. The Huawei had the bootloader locked and to unlock it I needed a code to get from a site that I had to enter via fastboot. The Oppo on the other hand has just the fastboot mode locked. But I'm not one to stop right away and I found out on XDA about a tool called MTKClient that allowed me to unlock this phone and so after a while I decided to bring a TWRP for this phone since there are a lot of fake and generic guides online where none give you a working recovery.
