Anyone experiencing this?

Thanks!

Edit: Buyer did in fact refund money finally. It was supposedly a PayPal issue.

I bought a phone, it came in horrible condition. Nothing like what the seller described.

So

They had numerous positive feedback, I assumed they were legit.

They were communicative and apologetic and issued the refund immediately after receiving the item back.

Fast forward, it's been 10 days since they officially received the phone, PayPal said the refund was issued as an eCheck whatever that means (through paypal) and it was on hold until today. Today I receive an email saying the refund was cancelled on their end because they couldn't retrieve the payment from their account.

How is that even possible? I thought the payment amount was held basically in an "escrow" until everything was complete???

Paypals automated crap keeps telling me to reach out to the sender. If I'm being scammed, what's the point in that? What's the point in touting I'm protected via PayPal if I'm not in fact protected using PayPal?

Just want to confirm. Just picked up a screaming deal on the mower, it's in great shape runs fantastic but had an issue today mowing.

Engine full throttle blades spinning cutting at 3.5" (grass was only maybe 5" so not a big load) and the blades would slow down considerably, engine tone wouldn't change at all, and I'd hear some squeeling/chirping coming from the deck area underneath.

The blades would then slowly ramp back up and at some parts of the yard be fine, but other parts it would bog down to the point I had to stop and back up. Deck is clear, blades need to be sharpened but not to this point.

I got under there with engine off, turned PTO on and I can spin the blades by hand somewhat easily under the deck. Setting the deck at 4.5" and doing the same thing the belt is down right loose where it is quite a bit tighter when wet at 2" deck down PTO on, blades have more drag on them but I can still free spin them pretty easily.

Machine is 4 years old and belt likely has never been changed.

Thanks!

Got my Fold 8 and have been a bit critical of it. Part of the issue is things feel a bit cramped on the front screen interface wise. Buttons, sliders, etc all feel like they are 150% of what they should be for the smaller screen.

Hit up DPI minimum width under developer settings. I have mine set at 450 right now (up from the default 391) and things feel a LOT better. The slide down panels don't feel comically large and everything from the messages app to the phone app feel a lot more natural feeling with the smaller screen. Even the inside screen feels a lot better overall.

GF is currently on LightSpeed Unlimited Starter.

She travels to Mexico with her sister for vacation periodically and we've never really been able to get her phone to work down there. All her phones have been unlocked Samsungs FWIW.

Last time we got her a an esim for roaming but it never did work right, but this was probably 1 1/2 years ago.

I see an option now to add a region specific esim, is that all she would need? Assuming it is, what does she do when she gets to Mexico, just go into her connection options and select the esim as her primary?

Thank you

Been using my E3800 for a couple months now, overall working pretty well.

I have 2.4kWh solar input, AC charging is only for backup overnight.

I have it set to 30% AC, solar 100% meaning in my use case AC input should never turn on.

Been working great until last night when I notice my AC input was running and my batteries never dropped below 100%.

I tried factory resetting, no fix.

Tried turning off AC output for a couple minutes as Google said this would reset something, no fix.

Tried changing the AC input around to 100% back down to 40 and 30%, it never disabled AC charging. Battery was always at 100%.

I ended up just unplugging the thing but that shouldn't have to be done.

Suggestions?

The entire process was incredibly frustrating and confusing.

My Fold 7 screen started to show signs of damage as half the screen would begin flickering. I am under manufacturers warranty AND I have Care+.

I initially attempted to go directly through Care+. I submitted a request to which they no longer have an option for a $100 replacement phone to be sent out. Their automated system forces you to go into a service center to which their automated system said I had to go through Samsung. So I scheduled an appointment with ubreakifix through Samsung.

I showed up to hand over my phone, I was asked if I had Care+ when I arrived. I told the manager I had both the manufacturers warranty which still applied for hardware failures and Care+. He notified me that Care+ overrides the normal warranty and I have to use Care+. So, I had to pay $29 for an administrative fee. I was not provided any other option but to use Care+, even though I had a scheduled repair through Samsung directly, that appointment was cancelled by the store and I was forced to create a new one through Care+ (Servify)

The issue is, I was sitting at the repair location, I scheduled the first available appointment. It never showed up in ubreakifix's system. After multiple attempts, still wouldn't show. The manager and I did it together again, and scheduled a second appointment. Still nothing in their system after multiple attempts and an hour+ of trying. I received both email AND SMS confirmations, but their system nada.

I finally was able to find a REAL person through a phone number I found on Google for Servify (Care+) who cancelled my appointments (Ironically THEY could see the appointments fine) I had made, told me I would get a refund for the $29 I already paid and manually scheduled another appointment to which I had to pay an additional $29 administrative fee. This appointment immediately showed up in their system.

Time spent trying at the location scheduling appointments was over 2 hours. In total, I was there for 6 HOURS of my day getting my phone fixed.

It's not acceptable that I had to pay $29 for Care+ to fix my phone when it should have been covered under the original warranty.

Is this normal?

Edit:

As a note, this isn't my first Fold nor first time dealing with Care+.

I've had the F2, 3, 4 and now 7. I've had great experiences with Care+ and the $100 phone replacement they had before on multiple occasions. This, wasn't that.

Also, my phone was pristine, I've had the Fold Counter app on it since new and it has a total of 320 folds. Literally, three hundred and twenty. It's wild the internal screen would fail so soon. My girlfriend still has my old Fold 4, the replacement I got through Care+ has something like 10,000+ folds and is still going strong.

I went to open my Fold 7 last night and the inner screen is going out. Left side started to flicker based on where the screen was opened.

I've had the fold counter app installed since new, I only have 318 folds since new. How annoying. I've absolutely babied the thing since new.

Regardless. So, I go and try to claim on my care+. They now forward you back to Samsung to repair if it's a mechanical issue?

I've had folds since the 2 and Care+ has always handled in warranty phones and just shipped me a new one.

Now my only option is to either drive an hour away and let UBIF it F it up or send it in for repair and not have a phone for 8 days?

What gives?
