I really prefer my Pixel Fold and have switched over from the Z Fold 5 I still have, but one thing I missed was the edge panels. I decided to see if anything could be done, so I searched on the Play Store and found "Panels sidebar, edge gestures". So far it works well. Danny

Aside from rotating the phone, which is not a solution, does anyone know how to prevent the Pixel fold from opening up a texted link (when clicked on) as a text/browser split screen scenario? Danny

I wish they would have kept the width at 79.5 mm, but losing a little over 2mm might be ok. I would have also preferred they had also kept the shorter height, but the new form factor is still probably still superior to a Z Fold, but I have not looked at the Z Fold 6 size yet Danny

I also bought a Whitestone Dome Escudo, and it is great. It has a built in screen protector, which I used to insist on. When I tried the Ghostek Covert, I had to try a Spigen glass screen protector, and I am sold on it. I will probably go with cases that have no built in screen cover from now...

I used the Pixel Fold at home for a week without having a cover on it. It is very difficult to open and hold without a cover Danny

I bought two of these, clear and purple. I am really happy with them. Ghostek COVERT Google Pixel Fold Case with Hinge Protection and Shock Absorbing Corners Raised Bumper Surrounding Camera Lenses and Screen Display Cover Designed for 2023 Pixel Fold (7.6inch) (Purple) https://a.co/d/1mwwPdE...

Is it possible that "Turn on based on battery level" and "Turn off at 90%" don't work well together? Mine turns on at 35% and lower as I have it set, but it turns on somewhere before 90%, probably higher than 35%. Danny

Well, after using this for a while, it does not seem totally reliable, like today. I set battery saver to go on when it drops to 35%, which it did. I put it on charge, and then battery saver went after the low end set point and BEFORE the set 90%. Danny

My decision on the next phone will be for the wider of the two, hopefully a format just like the current Pixel Fold. I won't be buying a phone for a while, as I just got a Z Fold 5 and a Pixel Fold. A lot can change by the time I buy a phone. Danny

Thanks for the help, both of you. After letting the phone charge up overnight, the settings started to get followed by the phone. Right now, over 90%, the battery saver indication is off, Dark Mode is off automatically, and even last night, I noticed Adaptive Charging working, and that is...

Thanks, that was a big help. I would really appreciate and look forward to hearing what you and anyone else observes in regard to that battery saver icon behavior. Danny

Thanks for the great help in getting this sorted out. What about the battery saver icon not changing as charge passes 90%? Is it then normal that no change happens as I have seen, and then, if I did not modify the dark mode settins as you describe, would my screen staying in the dark mode as...

Thanks, I got and figured that out about the 90% setting. Google tech help was the one trying to convince me that charging would stop at that point and I did not agree. With that out of the way, when I do have mine set for the 90% threshold, my phone charges to 100% (as it should), but the...

I have had the Z Fold 3-5 and have just purchased the Pixel Fold for the closed screen size. It has worked out to be much better for me and just due to the closed screen size. Danny

I got a Pixel Fold a couple of weeks ago and could use some help to see if my device is operating properly in regard to some battery settings. If I go to the battery section in settings, then enable "Use Battery Saver", that then enables a "Dark Mode" scheme in the settings, and elsewhere, and...
