    Received my Razr Ultra today. I've got a problem but not with the phone.

    My Razr 2025 Ultra arrived today. I haven't played with it yet but it looks great. My problem is with the box they sent me to return my trade in, a 2024 Razr Plus. The box they sent me is for an Apple phone or watch. The Razr wont fit in the insert. Has anyone else had this issue?

    No reporting on Flip 6 manufacturing defect, Dead Screen

    There is a report here, mine. Using this site to judge trends of the Flip 6 is not reliable. There are seldom posts here. I only posted my issue with the dead screen because I couldn't find another way to reach the AC staff . Not sure why a problem being under warranty lessens the problem for...

    No reporting on Flip 6 manufacturing defect, Dead Screen

    The issue: the internal screen goes black and un responsive The cover screen still functions. Internal screen needs to be replaced. I don't understand why Android Central or other phone sites are not reporting this obvious manufacturing flaw. The Samsung.com forum is loaded with dead screen...

    Black screen of death

    My Flip 6 screen has gone completely black. I could get it back with a hard reset (volume down start button) But not anymore. . It was random at first but now it's full time. The cover screen still works. I've tried all of the tricks mentioned in a few YouTube videos, nothing. It appears this is...

    Google Assistant on Cover

    I thought Assistant didn't work on my phone unopened as well. When I'd say Hey Google, the "Flip open for more" message would appear. I thought it wouldn't work without opening the phone. But today when that message appeared I asked a question about the weather and the assistant responded with...

    Maybe you know about this

    I didn't. In settings, About the Phone, Software Information, tap on Android security patch level. You'll have access to Android Security Bulletins. I found it interesting.

    No news is good news?

    The same thing happened in the Flip 4 forum: an initial flurry of posts and then a ghost own.

    I wouldn't let the delaminating screen protector worry you too much. I know a flip 3 owner who still hasn't had delamination of the screen protector. Besides, Samsun will replace it free up to a year I believe.

    Our two Flip 4s developed separation of the screen protectors at the fold. We traded them in that way and got full credit.

    APN settings locked

    The issue isn't activation. It is changing the APN settings on an unlocked Flip 5 registered on Verizon. The APN settings can't be changed. See my screenshots above. Can you change the APN settings on your Phone?

    APN settings locked

    I don't have a Verizon physical sim (I've ordered one). Disabling the e sim disables Mobile Networks. I put an old T Mobile sim card in the phone and was able to add a different APN. But when I activated the Verizon e sim the APN reverted back to the locked Verizon APN. The APN I had written...
