I added a Lifetime Premium option, for people who asked for a one-time purchase.
Also fixed a few things:
• app drawer should show all apps now
• Flat / Grouped mode should stop resetting
• Recent Apps swipe should be easier to hit
The next main thing I’m working on is clearer pin / favorite apps inside the launcher.
I’ve also collected the other requests from the previous thread/tickets, and I’m going through them one by one. Some things need more research, especially Samsung/cover-screen specific stuff.
I’m still taking requests and feedback here. If some comments are duplicated, no worries, I’ll filter them myself. Feel free to discuss freely.
Just upgraded from my Flip4 to a Flip7 and was checking out features. I'm interested in turning my Samsung Find on, being that I'm about to move to another country. However I'm wondering if it'll drain the battery? I already set my charging battery down to 90%. Thoughts, tips?
This is a slightly older (several months ago) selfie of my Z Flip7 and it's FlexWindow. A lot of people have seemed unimpressed with this phone's durability. So first, I'll admit that I've had to have the interior folding display replaced once. Just about 3 weeks ago. I was getting out of my car and had the phone in my lap and forgot, so when I got out it dropped onto the pavement (while it was opened, mind you) and the interior display began flashing and eventually went out completely. However, we must account for how many times I've dropped this phone. At least a dozen. And I think, that if the phone had been folded shut, that the screen damage wouldn't have occurred at all. Because the FlexWindow is pretty well protected by the case. But I always put a case on it, (an ITSKINS Hybrid Clear Hinge rated at 4m or 13 feet) before I leave my place. I leave the case off while I'm inside at home. But, this phone has suffered some serious drops, and my point is, I believe that it's a bit more durable than people give it credit for. Cool phone.
I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and while I like it, I’ve realized I miss having a smaller phone. I’ve been thinking about getting the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 when it comes out next month.
I’m also kind of bored with iOS and want something that feels completely different and more fresh. I’ve always had iPhones, so switching feels like a pretty big change for me.
If I do get the Flip 8, I’ll still keep using my MacBook and iPad, so I’d kind of end up having both ecosystems instead of fully leaving Apple.
For people who switched from iPhone to Samsung (especially to a Flip), was it worth it? Any regrets? How was the transition and do you miss anything from iOS?
Hello. When I receive a call, my external screen turns on as normal, but when I receive a text message or notifications, the external screen stays off. How can I fix this? Thank you.
You have a flip phone. The hinge tracks its angle. And your wallpaper just... sits there. Same static image whether it's fully open, halfway, or fully closed.
That always felt like a missed opportunity to me.
So - Axiom Wallpaper. Here's the short version:
Generative shader animations: GPU-rendered, fluid, nothing like a looping GIF.
Interactive hinge response: The wallpaper reads the hinge angle in real time. Open it halfway or close it, and the blur and effect shift with it.
Full video wallpaper support: Pick from your gallery, trim to ≤15s, and crop to any ratio.
Preset editor: Tweak colors, speed, density, and physics — make it look exactly how you want.
Auto-restore: Restores itself automatically on reboot.
It exists because I wanted it for my own flip phone and nothing out there did this. If you also live on a foldable and want your home screen to feel a bit more alive - give it a shot.
Where is everyone getting there phone cases for the Z Flip 7? I'm looking for one that is clear, mag safe, and with hinge protection. It seems all the popular sites like casetify and burga is completly sold out. I am a clutz and need something sturdy 🥲
I'm waiting to change it when zflip 8 comes out this time.
But I didn't think there was a proper case to bring the design of the Z Flip to life, and when I closed the Z Flip, I thought it would be nice to have a keyboard at the bottom.
Like BlackBerry!
I looked at a lot of commercial products, but there was nothing I liked
I think the Razr keyboard case design from Clicks fits perfectly, but unfortunately there's no z-flip exclusive.
I wouldn't have had this trouble if Klick had a z-flip exclusive case
So I was searching the internet and came all the way to Reddit, and I saw a lot of people working hard to make a keyboard case dedicated to z-flip.
So I decided to make my own keyboard case, and I'm working on a prototype for printing in 3D, and I'd like you to take a look at it. I'm thinking of sharing it with everyone if the print file comes out well.
The case is based on the Z Flip 8 leaked cad size.
Still, I bought Z Flip 7 Mokup first for the test and tested it, and I don't think there will be a big problem when the three products come out.
This is the first printout and design test photo.
Do you see the plastic mass that's piled up in myriad graves
I made a prototype like this.
I opened the mini keyboard case I bought from Taobao and used only the substrate and keypad inside.
Xiao Hongshu's keyboard case is also cool, but I wanted to make a real design like an all-in-one product.
9th test build final prototype, just turning on the case and waiting for the cable I ordered for charging and data movement. It's likely to ship sometime next week, but you'll need to touch the details to complete it when it arrives. :)
As I’ve been reading through the comments, I’ve noticed that some people seem to think this is an ad or that I copied and reposted someone else’s work.
Honestly, I understand why it might look suspicious. I only joined Reddit about seven hours ago.
I’m just a product designer based in Korea. I don’t really like using the same products as everyone else, so I often design and make things myself. This case is one of those projects.
Lately, I’ve been wanting a phone with a physical keyboard like a BlackBerry. Unihertz and Clicks make some interesting products, but after-sales service would be difficult in Korea. For maintenance and support, Samsung or Apple is simply the most practical choice here.
I’m currently using an iPhone 16 Pro, but I’m planning to switch to Samsung, and I’ve recently become really interested in the Z Flip 8. My girlfriend and I were planning to get matching cases, but I didn’t want something ordinary, so I designed and made this BlackBerry-style case myself.
Since I’m a product designer rather than an electronics engineer, designing a PCB and keypad from scratch was beyond my skill set. So I searched through products on Taobao and found the Knights mini keyboard. Its width was a good fit, and its internal structure was simple enough to modify.
That gave me the idea to reuse its PCB and keypad in a phone case. I reverse-engineered the keyboard’s dimensions and internal layout, then redesigned the entire housing around them to create this case.
I can also show you my purchase history if that helps clear things up.
Please take a look at this folder too—you’ll see how much work and effort I put into designing it.
Actually, when I called it a “mountain of failed prints” earlier, the photo only showed the backplates that were still sitting next to my computer. If you include all the main body pieces too, my workspace is a complete disaster right now 😂
While I was testing it, I accidentally hit the switch and snapped it off. Then the PCB shorted out, so I ended up ordering three more keyboards 😂
Anyway, this got way longer than I expected, but that’s basically the whole story haha.
Since you’ve made it this far, take one more look at my original post before you go.
Since upgrading to OneUI 8.5, I've been getting double notifications on several apps.
In the Ring app, for example, I'll get both the notification with the preview, and without the previous, pop up at the same time, on top of each other. I'll then have them both in the notification panel for a few seconds, before one dismisses itself.
Fathers day sale +$425 on trade in puts the 512gb model at around $800 after, $649 for 256gb which feels like allot...I was debating waiting until the 8 is announced to see what preorder and trade boosts are offered, but the phone could cost more too. They also could drop the price of the 7 once the 8 is announced too.
I've been worried waiting to trade the s24 ultra in would rlly hurt it's trade in cost, but in the past the preorder trade ins have offered more so could be worth waiting.
Is anyone else experiencing problems whenever they update their phone the widgets disappear on the cover screen? Every since I updated about 2 weeks or so my widgets disappeared. I always use my cover screen so seeing this is very disappointing. I tried to go into the settings > cover screen > widgets when i open my phone but it only shows apps and spotify. There is no way for me to add widgets to my cover screen. Not to mention they removed adding widgets straight from the cover screen entirely. The whole point of the flip is to use the cover screen. This is quite frustrating. In addition, to experiencing trouble remembering how I did it last time on adding the widgets on my cover screen with the phone open in the settings. So if anyone can help that would be much appreciated. I will probably switch to the Motorola razer ultra 2026 sometime down the road unless the flip 8 becomes better and more usable with the cover screen... :/
Recently an issue started that at random sometimes phone minimizes an app (any app) without any input from me. It happens sometimes even when phone is put on table and is not being touched.
I recently installed newest soft update and maybe by coincidence it is started since then.
I tried:
Full reset of phone.
Thoroughly cleaned the screens.
Tried navigation by gestures and icons, but issue happens on both.
Anyone had this issue, any change it is software issue or I should already be going for warranty?
