Then swipe up thing for Samsung pay from the center quite irritating when I'm trying to swipe for task ....u pick side button for activation ?

It seems interesting that apart from regard credit card reward point...it give Samsung points that can be used in Samsung eShop. Feel like leaving it to go since it's just another platform to collect free point.....but google wallet like more convenient ,as long you have the home screen you just tap. Don't even need to open wallet

I switch to double clicking instead... on the right hand side one

Guys in the lock screen right, it's always a darker tone then need double tap.

Double tap liao den can unlock.

How to make it faster ah? The initial double tap bit boliao not sure what's it for..

Can enlighten bros? Thanks!!

Fold 7 have face unlock ah... just that for banking apps need to use fingerprint.

I'm also facing this slight inconvenience because I dont cover the fingerprint sensor fully because of the case haha

actually i think its ok leh, enable the option that only activates when swiping up from homescreen. I usually swipe up off center also so very seldom will accidentally activate

ya I feel u..
spay quite mafun.

You can disable the Swipe up Gesture at Home Screen mah only activate at Lock screen will solve the problem

Can unlock directly from screen off

Remove home screen and screen lock if you dont want them also can

I dont double tap to wake or for unlocks

Just set phone to unlock immediately after touching power button via finger print unlock

Don't even need to press down the power button

This is the fastest way to unlock phone

Anyone else facing even poorer battery life since the Jul update yesterday?

I updated it last night after unplugging at 100% at around 11pm. Barely used the phone and woke up with battery of 77% at 7am. 1 hour of andriod auto (maps & spotify) and again, barely used the phone and its 48% now at 1030am with only 45 mins SOT...

 

[SeanOw]

that's what i been trying also...swipe up off center for 2 days. Still very hard to get use....think switching back to gwallet soon.

In the Samsung wallet app you can turn off swipe up from home screen

I think you gotta figure out what’s draining your phone. Typically after an update the phone does “recalibrate” a little. Having said that, Samsung also notorious for pushing out updates that just break stuff and drain battery indiscriminately

I'm a pretty light user overall, no games, mostly web-browsing, X, spotify and a little youtube here and there.

Is your phone still learning your usage pattern?

Rule of thumb - Always perform clear cache partition after updates

As of now (August 2025), the **Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7** follows similar procedures to earlier models when it comes to clearing the **cache partition**. This process can help resolve minor performance issues or bugs **without deleting your personal data**.

---

### How to Clear Cache Partition on the Galaxy Z Fold 7:

#### **Step-by-Step Guide**

1. **Turn off your phone** completely.

2. **Press and hold** the following buttons **at the same time**:

* **Volume Up** + **Power (Side) button**

3. **Release both buttons** when you see the **Samsung logo** or when the **recovery menu** appears.

4. Use the **Volume Down** button to navigate to:

* `Wipe cache partition`

5. Press the **Power button** to select it.

6. Confirm by selecting **Yes** using the Volume button and pressing **Power** again.

7. Once done, it will return you to the main recovery menu.

8. Select **Reboot system now** and press **Power** to restart your phone.

---

### Notes:

* **No data will be lost** — this only deletes temporary system cache, not your files or settings.
* Make sure your battery is at least **50% charged** to avoid shutdown during the process.
Great question — and yes, **for newer Samsung devices including the Galaxy Z Fold 7**, **you may need to connect a USB-C cable** to enter **Recovery Mode**. This is part of Samsung's newer security measures.

---

### Do You Need to Plug in a USB-C Cable?

**Yes, if your phone doesn't boot into recovery mode using button combinations alone**, you will likely need to:

* Connect a **USB-C cable** to the phone
* Plug the other end into a **computer**, **laptop**, or **Samsung charger**

This "activates" the recovery boot pathway.

---

### Updated Steps (With Cable):

1. **Turn off** your Galaxy Z Fold 7.

2. **Connect the USB-C cable**:

* Plug your phone into a **PC, Mac, or official Samsung charger**.

3. Once connected, **press and hold**:

* **Volume Up + Power (Side button)**

4. Keep holding until the **Samsung logo** appears, then release.

5. Now you're in the **Recovery Menu**.
