Here is a gentle reminder for new Z fold 2 owners in case some are not aware:

Urban Republic called me on purpose to go redeem the inner screen crack protection in Samsung Members app as it's not the same as the one year warranty given to the phone. So in case some of you are notified, just go to the app and find the banner with the folding phones and do the redemption. 

Ignore this if you already done it, may be can pin it if many are not aware.
*
I dont get the call from them but i do found the registration needed for 1 year screen replacement or repair in Samsung Members app. I forgot to register until you read your post. I just did mine.

Will pin on first post

I thought EPP is for corporate user and they won't be out of stock anytime soon? Even S20Ultra, Note20Ultra, Tab S7+ still have stock. Tab S7 is quite cheap at only RM2600++ only.
*
How much EPP for Note 20 Ultra? You can take many or is there a limit per person can take?

From my side I can see the EPP price for N20U is RM4,129.20...20% off. Samsung staff or higher level EPP might be even more...wink.gif Normally EPP quota can take 1 set only.

I see. Good price there.

Mine sales rep help me to register when I was in Urban Republic. Help me with the photos and etc. Kudos to them .

Mine only helped register the warranty. Maybe they don't know.

QUOTE(KomradMikhail @ Sep 28 2020, 09:56 AM)
I called in about the screen replacement and they said its because the screen costs more than RM2K to replace, so that RM650 is a reduced rate. Definitely not a free one-off replacement. Probably coz in the case of the first Fold the case incident was free as it was much more critical than Fold 2.

I've also checked if an extended warranty would help. You can get extended warranty from Samsung Service Center, from SES or purchased separately from Solead, who carry out these warranty repair, from here (https://www.solead.store/collections/hhp-protection-plan), although the Fold 2 is so new, it's not yet listed there. To be safe head to your SES. After reviewing what's covered by these warranty and current one year warranty we have on our Fold 2s, I deduced that it's not worth getting extended warranty, because most the covered under warranty  free-no-charge when replaced are perishables parts like buttons and stuff like that. Anything more you'll have to fork out money. Really poor warranty coverage, you better take care of your Fold 2s. I've no problem with taking care of my stuff, I've had my old phone taken care (with no screen protector and only a slim case, it's been nearly 4 years and it looks new, no scuff, no scratches. I guess it depends on the person. If you're working construction site, just use a Nokia. not Fold, unless you want to constantly worry about your phone. laugh.gif

I managed to fix Civilization VI , now running perfectly in full screen, just had to enable "run app in tablet mode to see more" in "Display" Settings.The reason it was visuals were cut off in previous attempt is due to Civ VI while rotated to landscape to full screen, it was trying to avoid the punchhole camera area, so it cut off a section if the Civ VI resolution running in full screen. Not anymore!  biggrin.gif

Thanks for the infos regarding extended warranty and screen replacement cost. I planned to buy the extended warranty, but after hear what you said, it really not worth it.

Samsung Note20 Ultra EPP has 20% discount, RM4159.20. About 1K difference.

Good price but usually EPP don't have receipt?

QUOTE(wr6969 @ Sep 28 2020, 12:22 PM)
Not that I'm currently aware of.  Just install NiceLock and its downloader companion app, and install the Multistar module.  Go into this module, set the ratio of the Insta app to 4:3 and it should expand to fill the entire screen.  If you have the time, do explore the other modules as well, there are a lot of useful features in there.  I'm just shocked that Samsung decided to only limit the Good Lock app to a few select countries  mad.gif

I'm surprised this app is really good. I like the lockscreen, AOD and notification area editors.

Weird WiFi placement. After I activated eSIM, the WiFi icon moved to the left of the camera lens. Still lots of space left next to the mobile signal icons. Anyone getting this?

Same as mine. Even use Good Lock also can't make it go to the right. Next update might fix it

Hopefully it wont void the warranty if something bad happen to the screen. They may use this excuse to reject the claim. I dont trust these corporate T&C, like previously IP67/68 first from Sony and until now is the same. If water damaged, warranty is void even it's IP67/68.

Anyone know how to enable the built in call recording function in Galaxy Z Fold 2?

I used to change to Thai CSC with my Note 9, but this method is not working with the ZF2 anymore.

On your previous used on Note 9, would you able to export the recording file? I never try recording app from Samsung. Last time I use S8 Pirates of the Caribbean China set there is recording button for phone app. But never try.

thankfully not the inside protector.
Can we use tampered glass for the front screen?

Front tempered glass should be no problem as it wont affect the mechanism of the phone.

Any suggestion for prepaid esim that works with fold 2? Preferable the ones that doesn't use Celcom backbone as their network. After the last outage i want to diversify so that i dont lose connectivity whatsoever.

Also preferably, prepaid sim that doesn't require going to a store to set up. I notice, Yoodo and XOX allows esim setup wholly by their apps, but they use Celcom as their backbone network.
*
None others. Digi best suits me but need to go to Digi Store to apply/reapply.

Im using Yoodo, XOX, Tunetalk and the only reason i need other than Celcom piggyback is certain place in my area Celcom network is really bad. The outage few days ago really shocked me and lucky i have backup which is Digi.

Im using YES for iPad Pro, this telco is better than Digi IMO but lack of supported phones and bad in rural areas. Their speed always faster for me, no buffer.

Another note on Yoodo, i had use esim on my XR previously and i sold the phone. I need it to be in physical sim as the phone no esim only dual sim (Redmi K30 Racing Edition). It's really easy, just order blank sim card, arrived in 2 days than register the blank sim with my number. Done in a jiffy. Yoodo really takes a step ahead in esim and app department.

After 16 days using the phone naked, today arrived el cheapo cases. I might use only back case later as when using the front screen, it feels small with that casing borders. Too thick too.

Since the internal screen is easier to get greasy and need delicate thing to wipe with, i have to bring this microfiber cloth everywhere. Usually just use wearing shirt to wipe. Last time on Z Flip, had 1 nail scratch, maybe happened when i open it with one hand. This time need to be really careful.

A bit. Make it harder to use the front screen, decided to remove the front case.

Me also just received the cheap cover today. Tried to put on the front cover because I already have the aramid cover on the back.
The profile of the frame is so thick and near the edge of the screen, making swipe-in gesture for BACK literally impossible, either from left or right side. Same goes to the edge panel for multitasks.

As a result, have to give up using this case that makes life more difficult. Now waiting for another case that was recommended in reddit to ship from China. So hard to find a suitable front cover. Samsung really should have made the cover together with the front screen part and not left us with the phone protected half way...  doh.gif

Ya too thick swiping need to be precise. Defeat the purpose to easily use with one hand.

Ok Samsung CS just called me regarding all the warranty available from them.

- 1 year inner screen protection is FREE (Redeemable via Samsung app; if broke still need to pay RM600 as full price is almost 2K)
- 1 year extended warranty is RM580 (Certain hardware that need to be repair or replace still need to pay some like screen above)
- 1 year back glass replacement is RM95 (Valid for 1 month from phone purchase date to buy this service)

Combo RM1645 (Valid for 6 months from phone purchase date to buy this service)
- 1 year inner screen protection
- 1 year extended warranty
- 1 year front and back glass protection
- 1 year theft protection

Will pin this in 1st post later

Worth it?
For me not worth at all. As it only valid for 1 year. Im going to use this phone until fully damage laugh.gif

Careless owner shouldnt be using this phone at all or to minimize the damage they need to use tank case

As this phone really delicate even nail will scratch it laugh.gif

Extended warranty seems fair to me. 2 years and only pay some money if repaired/replaced some hardware.

Same like me but I wonder if can add one more telco. Example: Maxis (normal SIM), Celcom (eSIM) and Digi (eSIM)

You can have multiple esim but only 2 can be active in the same time. So the 3rd will be in inactive mode.
