I don't think he apply another sp in the inner screen. It happened to me like this before for my flip few months ago. Went to the service centre at The Garden to complain and they ask me to paid for it the extra RM6xx. They told me I drop or my nail did this. I ask them to show me proof that is my mistake and they can't produce it. Went a different centre and got it change for free bcos of my friend know the service man there. But actual I drop it with a casing on it..hehehehe. He told me this flip is trouble phone with those nails and very sensitive if you drop it on the side of it. I thought with the new Flip 3 they will be more better build.

I think this is the problem of flip/fold. After used for months or 1 year, the soft screen most likely will start giving problem. That's why care+ 2nd year so important. But sounds like have to pay RM779 extra with PWP 40%. Also when send in for replacement need to pay rm6xx also.

Screen cracked like this under fold line, very troublesome one, the service center will fight hard with you to claim this is not manufacturing defect and must be accidentally break it or fold it too frequent too fast too hard.

Ok. Now I understand the Care+ 2nd Year cost RM1299 so much.

First year free Care+ RM799 only cover for accidental damage only.
(The manufacturing defect by default given by Samsung)
2nd year Care+ RM1299 cover for accidental damage + manufacturing defect.

Instead you need to pay for RM1299, you just need to pay RM729 at SES with PWP 40% discount.

So it is very expensive coverage. Like car insurance.

Change screen without Care+ is 1.2K so really no point to get Care+ unless you expect to break screen more than once a year

Not only change screen, 2nd year the care+ cover MFG defect also.

Received my Spigen Slim Armor Pro for Fold 3 today.. excited and put it on. Using it causes my Whitestone Dome tempered glass SP to lift at the edges. Haiyah!

Go back to my Samsung flappy "uncle" case for now. Have to decide which is more important, case or SP

Oh.. see you again... where you get skim armor and how much you pay for that?

I see. Mine on the way. Is this case good? If you compare to other cases you use before.

We cannot get it easily.. only this seller looks reliable to get. Taobao Tmall and Amazon about same price if ship to Malaysia.

I am so surprised t o get know you have to install case first then only dome TG. So in future if you want to remove case, it will not be easy. Right?

Also I read reviews from Amazon that the hinge protector may scratch your hinge. Not sure it is true or not. You have to be careful not to let dust or sand caught inside the hinge protector.

Putting case on first allow you to align TG SP properly so enough space when hinge open. So SP won't kena lift. I haven't tried to remove case yet.. scared. Hahaha

I like this case, feels good in the hands and protects the F3 well. I am going to modify it so I can attach pen pocket from my Samsung flappy uncle casing. Maybe use 3M hook and loop tape. I think if got pen storage, this is the perfect case. No need to look at other case anymore.

I only use the Samsung flappy uncle case before and this is definitely better. No annoying flap. More protection and feels good in your hands.
*
Haha.. uncle flappy case... I am using now. Keep annoying because it is not in stagnant position when hold.

What do you mean enough space when hinge opened? You mean the front cover will move a bit when unfold the phone? What cause the TG lifted? The front cover moving and lift the TG?

I thought it has adhesive can hold the front cover sturdy?

Is the adhesive strong? I heard some said too strong and could not remove it easily. Is that true?

I am still using original SP for outer screen, do you think this case will cause problem?

Hi guys, is our adaptive refresh rate broken? Based on my understanding the screen should change to a lower refresh rate when viewing lest intense stuff, but based on the refresh rate enabled via the dev options, it seems the rate is fixed at 120hz. This is a bug right?
*
I tested my fold3 front screen, it does down to 60hz when idle or no movement.

Inner big screen also same, can drop to 60hz.

guys sorry noob question again

I order a front screen protector

I see got one thin thin in the front screen for the fold
do I need to remove that?
*
That is the best original screen protector. Dont remove it if it working good. And only replace it when it spoilt.

Also it compatible with any cases.

funny registration. the care+ take effect based on registered date. So if you wait for last day to register, then you will extend the warranty at least 30 days.

UPDATE on ROI:
The samsEng team replied my email from their mass email today on the ROI voucher....with a super generic response!

"....We will forward the information to the relevant department. They will contact you as soon as they have an update on this matter."  rclxm9.gif
Hooray! Instead of giving me the actual ROI code that I've been waiting for 2mths, I'm at least now in the queue and being forwarded to the "RIGHT" department, I guess they root cause previously being sent to wrong dept all along!

Great Job Team SamsEng!

Have to look openly. Even you get the ROI code, and approved from RM300, still have to wait for evoucher. I have been wait for more than 2 weeks... no evoucher sent to me also.

This Samsung really playing trick on us bcos of this stupid ROI of RM300. If want to give then give no need give stupid reason T&C. Bro when u did order from them? Mine order from Digi on 23rd August and got the code end or August same time as my friend too. He order thru Samsung on 13th Sept and also apply thru redemption and got approved too.

You and your friend approved already... got rm300 evoucher so far?

Mine approved but never received rm300.

Wow, I was playing with the fold, super nice. Very tempted. Is it a good buy? Will the folding mechanism spoil very fast?

I mean Candy Bar is very convenient if you keep needing to check the phone, fold just has a small screen in front.

I wanna understand how people feel when it’s used in real life.
*
Let me share with you my experience.

- Not so convenience when take out. The front screen smaller and hard to read and see. Quick view is OK.
- Bulky. Overall not so convenience to take out.
- Want to find good case, super expensive. Also most good case come with adhesive.
- Must treat it like baby, even fold and unfold.
- The moment you break screen, pay rm2000 without warrranty ... If care+ .. still need to pay rm600++ for 1 year warranty.
- Screen very big. good to view and read.
- Not all apps compatible with this phone. Like instalgram. You can force it to full screen but wierd ... because some video/photo will be cropped.
- Read comic is good.
- playing game ... some screen get cropped... some dont... depending on the game.

I think eDHL working.. Sunday closed. But sometimes is matter of luck. I notice certain logistic they sub to contractor. And sometimes contractor get the parcel and will keep at their home for many days. Like I purchased 1 item from LZD. Reached to delivery guy at my area. He kept my important parcel 11 days at his home and then only attempt to deliver after 11days ... really stoopid. no contact, the logistic office also phone out of service. I dont LZD why use chap palang courier.

LZD told me they couldnt do anything because parcel at deliver guy hand. gave me rm5 voucher... vmad.gif


eDHL is reliable source. They deliver Samsung to me on Monday ... reached their hub on Saturday morning.

Finally received phone after so long wait....need to go dhl hub pick up myself, was anxious to get it. ROI still no where in sight.

I just registered Samsung care+, only 1 year? I thought free extra 1 year? Don't the phone come with 1 year warranty already?

Samsung is confusing their customer. This Care+ is equivalent to "Screen Crack" warranty. In case you crack your screen accidentally, then it covered.

RM 779 for first year. Very expensive. In case screen crack, you need to pay rm600+ for labour charge.

So if you want 2nd year, Care+ and Mfg defect warranty will need to pay rm1299.

You mean we take 2 years with Care+ if anything happened to the main screen we need to pay RM1299???? This really a ripped off

I mean the free Care+ only for first year.

If you want Care+ warranty cover for 2nd year, then need to pay RM1299.

For those haven't register for first year care+, you can now walk in to SES to get 40% discount of total RM1299. Means if you pay extra RM729 (60% of RM1299), then you will get care+ and mfg defect warranty cover for 2 years.

This is worth when you want to use phone more than 2 years.

I am afraid will upgrade the phone next year, so I didnt opt for this.

All this about warranty payment only ...


Let say you have 2 yrs care+ covered...... In case screen cracked due to accident.... Then you still have to pay rm600++ for labor charge.

Without care+ ... Let say your screen cracked on month 14th... then you need to replace inner screen, that will charge you rm2k. Not sure if you still need to pay rm600++ labor charge for this case without care+.

I never buy any extended warranty for anything I purchase.

It is waste of money. I did this for at least 20 years. So far so good & Touch Wood. This also means I save at least 20 years of extra payment for extended warranty.

If free warranty I take, need extra money so sorry you won't earn from me.
*
Worth only if user want to use for long term more than 1 year. The parts of Fold3 and Flip3 is not cheap. Like S21 Ultra, you may only need to spend rm1k to replace the faulty screen. But for Fold3/Flip3, you need to spend rm2.6k which is extremely expensive. Considering the Fold3/Flip3 flex screen still immature.

Maybe Fold1 or Fold2 user can tell if really worth to get extended warranty.
