Got my FOLD, its amazing but needs a good software update - Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion

So i got my FOLD today and the device is seriously under rated. it's stunning and folding it open always beings a smile to my face.
What it needs now is a proper software update to camera and DEX on pc which is available to Note 10 and S10 series. Samsung needs to work on it and quickly update the FOLD asap.
Maybe like Tab S4 Tab S6 they should have DEX mode built in. when we use larger screen the DEX mode can be handy,

Update is certainly eminent. Best thing is when people look at you when you open it up. Then they ask "what is that?" Lol

so i updated mine. it gives note 10 camera features but still no dex on pc. tried it few times but failed.
infact more than dex on pc they should have dex mode toggle on the fold itself like tab series.

My Samsung Galaxy Fold SM-F900F is bought in Norway with the Nordic product code NEE. Are the European firmwares multi-csc OXM like for the S10's for the Fold too, so that I can download ASJ4 which is released in France and flash it and still keep the phone NEE?
Edit: Downloaded ASJ4 and updated my Fold with Odin without any problems using home_CSC. Saw that the firmware was OXM so was quite confident that it would work and it did.

What do you mean by external USB camera?
Does anyone else have the Samsung Neon flip cover?
I can only get it to glow for the stock sms app and calls.
No glow notifications for Whatsapp or Viber, or is there a hidden setting I haven't found?
Thanks

The 2017 are so new, I went with the Galaxy A5 2017 instead of jumping on the A7, I was afraid the A7 would be just too big for me.
I have a Sony Xperia Z3+ and like it for the most part but it doesnt have fast charging and the battery is not all day, Many reviews say that the battery will last all day on the A5 2017, since I get it tonight I will set it up and test tomorrow and see.
I know its a step down from an s7 but its only a short step from what I see on the reviews.
At half the price new ( 329 here in USA) it seems like a bargain

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini. How would an A3 2017 be in comparison? Would it be a justifiable upgrade? I got marshmallow on my S5 mini now and it works so much better but I think I might like to save for a new phone and I need something in a similar size and form-factor. The best I could find was the A3 2017 but I am unsure, can someone walk me through how much of an upgrade it might be and what the benefits would be?

The A3 2017 is way better, first you will get a bigger screen ( 4.7") compared to the 4.5" found on the S5 mini, you get a 13mp camera vs 8mp on your current device, 0.5GB more RAM and way better Soc ( Exynos 7870 octa ), also the A3 2017 have a bigger battery (2350mah) compared to the smaller 2100mah found on the S5 mini.
Software wise you have the latest grace ux on the A3, which is lighter, faster and more beautiful,with AOD support like on the S7 edge.
You get IP68 certification, dust and water proof resistance, a fingerprint scanner and a way better design, so premium.
So yes it's worth, the A3 7 blows the S5 mini of water.
Thanks! Do we know what the update/OS upgrade cycle will be on the A3 2017? Like, will I get new OS for 2 years, 3 years etc? If I go for a new phone like this A3 2017 (almost certainly going to be the one as I love Samsung and need sub 5") I would want it to last me for as long as possible.

DEX wirelessly

Hello.
Just saw review with tab s7 where they use DEX without any cables and docks, but via Wi-Fi..
All you need is tablet and smart TV. So is there a way to make the same on our tab s6 tablet?
Maybe installing new dex home, dex apks from apkmirror or something?
Did anyone try it?
Thanks!

Its probably tied into OneUI 2.5, would be my guess.
Yeh, it came with yesterday's update. But it can't find my Chromecast to connect to the TV. Otherwise connection to Chromecast wasn't and isn't the problem only with DeX ... .

DEX wirelessly worked fine on my Sony T.V! Just make sure you have keyboard & mouse paired as when you cast DEX wirelessly the screen on the Tab S6 stays on your regular ONE UI 2.5 as it's not mirror connection! i had to flash DBT firmware ONE UI 2.5 as the Tab S6 is on BTU as the update wasn't showing!

I found out in the meantime, DeX will not work with Chromecast at all. But it's not a problem, since I've the appropriate cable for the monitor.
A pity is, DeX on PC doesn't work with tab6 and tab7 In my opinion this is a great feature. It's working with note 9 though ... .

Samsung says Note 9 and S9 are eligible for 2.5. Just a matter of when them and then carriers push it out to us.

Thanks i own the 6GIG ram Note 9 so will dex preform like my Note 10 + 5g as that's got 12GIG ram ? As i did hear that One UI 2.5 will be a stripped down version for the Note 9 ?
Only reason i'm holding on to the Note 9 is thanks to it's dual sim, plus it's 3.5mm jack! Witch is cruical when you don't drive new cars!
I don't own a note9, it's my mom's. She is happy DeX on PC is working on it, opposite to her tab s7 and our tab s6.

General Camera Update Coming Soon!

Samsung has a big Galaxy S23 Camera firmware in the pipeline, get ready for April
Samsung Galaxy S23 series recently received March 2023 update in Europe and the company will expand this update in more counties soon. Now, a piece of new information reveals that Samsung Galaxy S23 will receive a major firmware update with camera optimization. According to @UniverseIce’s tweet...

They should really change a lot.
Using gcam you realize that this phone has a very good hardware base, and stock camera processing is quite bad, despite having access to the full hardware.

They already changing a lot. Do not forget how feature packed s23 ultra is. It's not just camera. Have some patience. It's already decent but it will improve more for sure. It's the same with all new flagships.
Already a thread on this.

Question S23 ultra BMW M edition Theme or ROM available ?

As there is a new BMW M edition of the S23 ultra which has an amazing boot screen, live wallpaper, and theme. Is there a way we can add the same to our normal S23 ultras? The BMW M edition theme does look really awesome.
This is a heavily customized telco phone. The theme is just eye candy for the heavily bloated ROM. You may get the theme from the galaxy store but not the boot animation.
BMW should spend less money on marketing gimmickry and more money on exterior design. Their recent creations look hideous.
where I can find this BMW theme for the S23 Ultra, in Galaxy store I can't find them
It wont be available in Galaxy Store, and even if it does - It will be missing the essential content such as the Tones and Boot Animation.
If someone can find the CSC of the ROM, maybe we can dump the firmware and extract the content out.
If you can find the Cover, You have the complete thing.

Agree,
I own 3 bmw and damn they loose it after the F30. F30 chassis are timeless and agressive.
remind me the E46, they sill look great today.
I own F25, E90 and E91.
E90 because N54 powaaaa (440bhp right now). 6mt.
The E91 also 6mt, but N52, for family.
F25 autotragic, but I need one auto for when the mother in law get the kids. Got a tuned N55, fast as fck .
Also have audi, all manual and fast.
I love cars , and issues. But fun fact, none have check engine, nor any issues.
I dont mind they ugly ass new BMW since they are mostly all automatic, and I never learn how to drive automatic, so wont buy them

How come the E46 has an aggressive chassis? From the internal structure it doesn't look that sturdy. Neither from the crash tests.
BMW is not for everyone. I mean the Samsung theme but the cars too.
I have a Е87 130 with 3l 6 cyl. almost 300 PS manuals 1400kg very very low and hard suspension. But it have 4 doors and it is some kind of... family friendly And more important Dady friendly. And more important is not a SUV and is not a Toyota.

Sorry for the stupid questions, but has anyone found a way to do so?

Does Vivo x Fold 2 Support Desktop mode or what Alternative are out?

Hi my Question is does Vivo x Fold's Support any kind of Desktop Mode like Huawei or Samsung with Samsung i know it has Dex and Huawei has EMUI but the Samsung Unfolded Size is way to small for my liking and the Huawei mate x3 is way to Expensive i have the P30 pro and use it with EMUI Desktop mode and i like it alot but i need a Foldable that Supports Desktop Mode so i can combind it with my Portable Monitor and wirless Keyboard/Mouse. The Vivo x Fold 2 Size and the Design i like the best out of all the Fold's but if i cant use it as Desktop Mode i have to get another Brand. Xiaomi looks good aswell does it Support Desk Mode? thanks for the help tho almost 1 Year watching Foldables News Leaks Youtube Videos and still cant Decide wich one i should get i only see Samsung Dex everywhere i look and what about ther other Folds no other can other then Huawei?
