Coming from S24 Ultra where I ran Nova launcher for years. Just got my Fold 8 a week ago and I'm wondering what people are using.
It's my understanding that Nova and other launchers are not optimum for a fold, like different home screens, but I could be wrong.
I'm using Samsung but I miss the customizing of Nova
You see a Z fold 8, I see a Pokedex... I always wanted to have a pokedex since I was a child so I turned my Z fold fold 8 in to one. It started when I first got my z fold 8. Being a pokemon fan, It instantly hit me to turn it in to a pokedex... It was a challenge! There are no available pokedex wallpaper for the Z fold 8 online that time so I thought I'd make it myself. After many tries, I finally managed to make 2 visually close to accurate wallpapers that perfectly fits the inner screen and matches the hinged of the phone when closing it. I also made live versions of the wallpapers with a moving Gengar. I was so happy and thought it was perfect until I saw a red case being sold online. I ordered it instantly! When it arrived, I put it on my phone Immediately and it made me happier! The only issue for me is that it has a black ring drawn at the back with white text indicating where the magsafe ring is that I think ruins the illusion of it being a pokedex. Then it hit me again! I remembered that I have vinyl pokeball stickers that is almost the same size of the magsafe ring. So, I put a sticker to cover it. And now, one of my childhood dream has come true.
I currently own the ZF8U. I've been trying to turn on the battery bypass feature in Game Booster, but the toggle is grayed out. On all of my past Z Folds, I was able to activate the feature. I'm using the same charger as in the past and the USB cable that came with the ZF8U, but the toggle remains grayed out. Has anyone had the same issue and gone through multiple charges and cables like I have, and what was your solution?
Edit: I finally got it to work, but it's weird. After reading a couple of replies, I thought I would see if it was some app or something on my ZF8U by firing up my old ZF5. I plugged the ZF5 in and saw that the feature was active, but within 10 seconds after enabling the feature, it also grayed out. So I tried again on my ZF8U, and the feature was active, so I toggled it on. I unplugged and plugged it in at least 20 times, and every time the feature became active. I'm now wondering if it was the charger?

hi there, just switched from an iphone 13 to the fold 8 about a week ago. i just now started having issues where people will be talking in a group message (iphone users) and i wont receive the messages but when i send a message in the chat, everyone receives the message? i missed an entire text conversation today and didn't know until someone directly messaged me about it and i had no clue what they were talking about until they sent me a screenshot of the group chat
there are also one-off instances where i just won't receive a message. for example my sister who has an iphone messaged me and i just never received the text.
things i have tried:
- disabling and then turning RCS chats back on
- clearing google message cache
- turning mobile data off and back on
- made sure the people im texting on iphone have RCS chats enabled
- disabled imessage and facetime on my old iphone and ipad, also made sure all cellular data was turned off
- deregistered my phone number from Apples site (i did this an hour ago so maybe i just have to wait a bit longer)
- tried starting all group messages from MY end and still didnt see anyones responses
- tried uninstalling the google messages latest update
to add some more info.... the messages people send in group chats will send as an imessage and pop up blue instead of green. but then i send a message and it will send as a green RCS chat.
is there anything else i can try??? im desperate lol this is also my first android so i am not too familiar with google messages, any advice helps!
thanks!
Posiadam Z Fold 8 od dwóch miesięcy i jestem bardzo zadowolony - uwielbiam formę i rozmiar, aparaty są wystarczające i bateria świetnie daje radę. Udało mi się złapać 8 ultra ze zniżką edukacyjna, odkupem telefonu za prawie połowę ceny. A teraz siedzę i zastanawiam się czy dobrze zrobiłem. Faktem jest, że po użytkowaniu 8 wszystkie telefony wydają się mieć formę pilotów do TV. Czy jest ktoś kto zmieniał 8 na 8 ultra i jest w stanie podać zalety takiej zmiany? Będę wdzięczny 🙂
I have ADHD and this keeps me calm and relaxed. I love that I can take how I game at home on the road with me.
Back about 20-25 years ago, I used to rock a palmtop (got a few m100s, then an m515, and even a battery powered one, fun times!
After remembering this, I scrounged up a rom for retroarch. Surprised I still remember how to write in grafitti.
This kinda makes the lack of s-pen even more inexcusable.
Is anyone having issues with Samsung gallery? Multiple times in the past few months albums have simply disappeared from my gallery. For example I have a 2026 album and in that album I have nested folders for each month. I've had folders in them since January. I opened it today and only August and September are in there. This is not the first time that albums or pictures have disappeared.
