Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3: Rumours, News and Discussions

[AhKongKia]

Tracetogether do use battery but not much. Go download app DevCheck. Check what are the cpu cores frequency. If they are always stuck at 1800mhz then something is wrong (rouge apps). Normal should be fluctuating and high proportion of time should be at 691mhz.

thanks for guiding, I tried the app. the fluctuating is 691-1094-1804mhz

My battery usage info.

Discharge from 85% to 20%. 65% battery for over 13hrs+ uptime 4hrs SOT.

For a FULL charge should be about last 19 hours with 6hrs+ of SOT.

Mainly used for browsing and YouTube using 4G all the time. And 4 whatsapp accounts and galaxy watch connected.

doesn't work. anyone here rooted the z fold? how many of you purchase 2nd year Samsung care+ ??

I suggest you setup the device from scratch. It's a pain but this is the most guaranteed way of making sure your device works well. Copying internal files from one Android device to another will/might cause a lot of orphaned files to wreck havok in your new device.

Rooting the Fold 3 will disable the cameras - https://9to5google.com/2021/08/24/g...all-cameras-while-the-bootloader-is-unlocked/

I purchased a 2nd year of Care+ as I intend to use my phone for 2 years.

Do you know is there a time limit before you need to buy the second year coverage? I wanted to extend my one year care+ too

Yes there is, within 14 days of device activation.

decided not to root as I was able to get the app data sorted. I probably will buy the 2nd year as well. i see inside the samsung member app shows 29days left to sign up. time limit should be 30days? 14 days is for signing up SC+

Think better careful here. 30 days is to take up free 1st year offer. Not sure whether it is the same as buying sc+ which has to be done within 14 days. (When you go for the 24 months, it is like buying).

If taking up, better do it within 14days (to avoid any complications)

No screen protector? I thought screen protector is standard from factory? Maybe be cautious

I think the factory screen protector should still be intact. Does outer screen come with factory screen protector as well? Another question is the seller did not register warranty. It’s fine right? Samsung probably activated the warranty when the phone started being in use
