Just got my Fold 3 a week ago and want verify if the warranty is really until Dec 2023. I tried sms "PC [IMEI No.]" to 62002 but i did not get a reply.

Any other way other than visiting the service centre?

Also I can't seem to set up my Samsung Pay like i did with my previous N10. Anyone facing this issue?

Anyone recommend any good slim cass for flip3? Gotten the silicon case didnt know it was so thick.

Spigen Air Skin is good. I ordered it from Korea cause i wanted the green cover. It is thin and doesn't change the feel of the phone on your hand.

The only downside to Fold's cover is, a lot of them need sticker to make it work. And for this cover, the hinge is uncovered so that part is exposed to scratches and i already scratched mine.

Just got my Fold 3 inner screen SP changed at low yat plaza SC. Initial one started to crack in the middle of the crease and was spreading. Got annoying after awhile so decided to execute the one time screen repair since its near end of term

New SP fitted just over an hour wait. Looks as good as new no visible imperfections.
*
What's the costs? This seems like a common problem and some say it is due to using the inner screen on half unfolded mode i.e. as camera stand etc often.

So far after 2 months plus mine still ok. Folds the same and no issue.

Most annoying thing is most apps not optimised for front or inner screen so will have some apps (e.g. tiktok) not displaying properly.

Is it worth upgrading from fold 3? I just played with it at Harvery Norman and the hinge has a notch when fully opened. Kind of like locks in place. It doesn't have that noise when I open the hinge of my fold 3 (axis cable replaced and hinged serviced).

Am wondering should I trust fold devices again or just switch back to s23 Ultra.

Anyone have any issue with 5G access for Maxis? My z fold 3 seems to have problem accessing 5G on Maxis network. Mine is a US set.

My fold 3 after 10 months the inner screen protector then started peeling off. After warranty should just go out side to change it at a much cheaper price.

Ribbon cable also replaced. That's why extended warranty is a must for these device.

What is cost to replace the inner screen protector from outside?
Also the ribbon cable, I think this ribbon cable will cause a lot of problem like no audio when unfold and black screen right?
*
Ard 400 plus service the hinge to make it open fully flat.

Fold 3 is with gears and fold 4 and 5 is without gears. I guess I bought fold 5 with warranty for 2 years. Gonna just throw it back at them. Lol.

The gear design was one of the coolest, but it does make the phone thicker somewhat. A friend's Fold 1 with the original gear design is still working well until today (he's a collector, the phone was used daily for the 1st year and thereafter used infrequently though).  biggrin.gif

The hinge of Fold series suppose to be over designed and over engineered that's why the Fold 1 to 3 is so heavy. Problem is dust and dirt do get in and compromise the hinge performance.

How long does Samsung take from ordering to delivery? Mine still "processing order" since Sat.

I also traded in an old N8 and Instacash, the third party handler has not been able to fix an appointment with me. I hope it doesnt affect my delivery time.

Thanks 7 working days seems a bit too long but already 4 days (2nd working day) for me.

So Samsung delivered the phone first and then only come and pick up the trade-in phone? Sorry asking cause never bought online like this before.

Hi, how do we claim the free screen protector replacement? I already received my Flip5 from online pre-order but could not find information where it states the free screen protector replacement.

Is this only applicable for those who purchased Samsung Care+?
*
Does Care+ cover additional SP inside and out?

Not sure but I did get the Care+ and after few days received the phone can check in Samsung Member's app under Benefit there will be 3 voucher for inner Screen Protector can claim (usage within 2 year)
that's for me pick-up at store, a friend received it earlier 2 days deliver home  icon_rolleyes.gif
don't think so, Outer screen no SP, only Inner screen got SP voucher in Samsung Member app  icon_rolleyes.gif

I also choose pick up from store. So patiently waiting.

Out for delivery at store pick up. But I got a msg for split order as the cover with slim S-Pen cannot arrive on time. If can get by tmrw at the store will be fantastic.

I ordered 19th August night. Just got the email to say that it is ready for pick up, without the cover which I ordered.

Not sure how comfortable i am using the phone naked with no news that the cover will reach in time.

Thanks. When I got Fold 3, I also used it naked for a while before slapping the Spigen case on it. It was nice no doubt but the spine is very susceptible to scratches. Looking back, should have gotten a case with the spine cover.

Anyway, will go collect it after work.

Using it naked now until the slim s pen case arrives and am loving it.

Admiring the colour as well.

Am tempted to just use it like this with protection film put on the back and on the sides. Even better if hinge can put protection film too.
