So this idiot who has never dropped his phone once when using the old Note 9 for 5 years has dropped his Fold 5 a few days ago, with a Ringke Slim case on, so the hinge isn't protected and now has minor scratches, what an eyesore. Not sure if getting Samsung Care+ now would help in this case, any advice?
*
Wear and tear not covered by either standard warranty or Care+. Nothing can be done about the hinge scratches.

You can still buy Care+ even with minor scratches if still within 30days after received the phone. After that go submerge the phone for a day or two. Sure go kaput. Then can go claim from Care+ for a new phone.

Or drop the phone from a high rise building. Make sure it smashed to pieces. Then go claim from Care+... LOL laugh.gif

Are you planning to use the Fold 5 for at least 2 years since you took the 2 years Care+?

I normally upgrade every year, and not sure if the 2 years Care+ is worth it.  sweat.gif

If upgrade yearly then no need Care+ lar. Unless you have butterfingers always drop your phone then better get Care+.

Was thinking to destroy my phone right before the 2 years sc+ expires. But saw the fine print, replace need approval from tune insurance. Is there any chance they will not honor total lost of phones?
Paying rm6xx for a new phone is worth it considering all samsung device lifespan only around 1 year++ then all those lightsabers will start to appear

Drop your phone from high rise building. Then say to them you accidently drop your phone while using it on balcony. smile.gif

Disappointingly they commented No idea, so frustrated.

Just go to any other service centre.
You should be able to utilise all 3x free replacement within the valid period.

Hi,

Just a piece of good new update.

Was shopping at Midvalley today, and decided to drop by at the Samsung Service Centre at The Garden.

Showed them my complimentary screen protector film voucher and my Fold 3 screen issue.
Immediately the staff took care of the problem and replaced a new film.

So happy with the service, I bought a Samsung Watch 6 from them.

Happy ending.

Thanks guys.

Fold 3 voucher still valid..? hmm.gif

Anyone has sound issue with your fold? Mine no sound anymore (folded or unfolded). Only way is to use earpiece to hear anything.

Problem started with unfolded only. Also had no visual when unfolded (sometimes). Now, visual problem no more but sound totally gone

Try restart your phone.

ya already sent to SC and claim warranty. Just curious . How much does it cost to repair the screen
*
If still under standard warranty pay only labour cost less than RM100. Sometimes if lucky they will even waive the labour cost.

If out of standard warranty the main screen itself will cost RM1450. sweat.gif

Some people are just not meant for a Fold. sweat.gif
Either they use it roughly or clumsy like drop frequently. In these case better use candy bar phone with full casing protection.

I have my Fold 3 that only need one screen protector replacement while my Fold 4 is still in pristine original condition. I skip Fold 5 and looking foward for the next Fold.

Anyone can recommend good selfie or tripod for Fold5?

Some challenges as Fold phone is kind of heavy to hold from selfie or tripod stick. Secondly if to take photo/video with unfold, how this gadget can support which is big size.

If you like taking lots of pictures and videos then you should get S23U instead of Fold. Less hassle for tripod and have better camera too.

Anyone facing issues after updating to ONE UI 6.1?

For context, I'm using a fold 3. After updating, multiple issues popped up:

1. Fold S Pen no longer working properly.

2. Inner screen won't display when folding open from outer display screen. It will just be blank.

3. Clock display colour all changed.

4. When folding open the phone or closing it, speaker will have loud crackling sounds.

Called Sunway Pyramid service center to ask to solve it, they mentioned can only flash in older firmware but chargeable. Told them it was a software problem from Samsungs end they basically said well not my problem.

Called Samsung Official Mobile phone help line, got pretty much the same reply and just to do soft and hard reset, if issue persist go back to service center.

Anyone else had similar experiences with the new update here?
*
A few post back one forummer also have some problem same as you. But his phone is Fold4. Close screen then everything goes blank. You need to change almost everything from the inner main screen down to the body frame and hinge.

That's the problem with foldable phone. One item rosak you need to replace many things. I believe your problem is the screen ribbon connector. But the ribbons come together with the screen. Then in order to change the screen you need to replace the body frame also.

I will not buy any foldable phone after this. Better use candy bar phone less headache and less expensive if got any problem.

Scamsung Fon the more you update, the more your Fon will spoilt.

My note10+ spen spoiled after updates, strangely other Fon can detect the spen as Bluetooth device but the note10+ refuse to detect it

S22u screen KO after many updates

Now my Fold 5 still on 5.1.1, don't dare update it.
*
Better update all the latest firmware and security patches while your phone still under warranty. Most issue come after warranty lapse. Normally after a year or two. That"s why many foldable phone user take 2years Care+ warranty as any problem with the screen it will cost you a bomb if without warranty.

i know here is not k, but that user keep trolling same thing on several samsung thread, yet still keep posting using samsung phone

I believe he said he won't be buying any foldable phone in the future. Not that he won't be using samsung phone. And i tend to agree with him. Foldable phone is more expensive to repair or replacing things if rosak.
