    No sound and black screen(s)

    I didnt get the extended warranty. But I was still in the original warranty by a few days, so it was repaired. Yay!

    No sound and black screen(s)

    Spoke with local Samsung repair outlet. This issue is known to affect the sound chip of the Zfold4. Replacement of the board is the only way to resolve. I am 4 days inside my warranty. 🙏

    No sound and black screen(s)

    Factory reset/wipe of all data complete. Besides now having 200+ apps that need to be re-configured, the issue persists. Sound worked from the start after the wipe, then stopped a few hours later. I noticed something the phone had started doing recently but I didn't think much of it. It had...

    Small home screen icons Samsung ZFold4

    After android 13 the large screen home icons appear small, half the time. Also, the small screen home icons appear large sometimes. If I unfold the phone before I unlock it, most of the time the icons will be right. I use Microsoft Launcher. Anyone have a fix?

    Thinking about flashing factory firmware

    Its worth asking, my primary reason to replace the US Cellular firmware with stock samsung firmware is to restore the dialer, and the ability to use Samsung Smart Call and hopefully Samsungs visual voice mail. Will loading stock firmware scrub the US Cellular dialer and misc. bloatware?

    No visual voicemail on US Cell

    Thank you Mustang7757. That's what I am afraid of. I called US Cellular and they didnt say it didnt work, but they couldnt get it working.
