Just to be clear, never said that I used all of those. Just made quick list of most popular apps to use here :P If I had to guess, over 95% of people here just use WhatsApp.

They all have pretty much same functionality what traditional sms is missing.

And US still has very expensive data plans compared to Finland (I pay 21e/month for unlimited 200mbps data, calls, sms). That could also be one factor why SMS is still used there so much 🤔

For voice calls, most use regular phone calls here, it just works better (and VoLTE/VoWiFi is great addition to sound quality). Apps are only used when you are making video calls.

As for messages, it’s much easier to send images/videos via whatsapp/signal than it’s via SMS. + replies/reactions. Probably main reason why people use apps instead SMS (even while many/most of our plans include unlimited data/sms/calls). RCS added those features IIRC, but why switch to another solution while apps works just fine and most of people already are used to Whatsapp 🤷‍♂️

And most of the people here has Whatsapp installed, so usually you don’t have to guess what app to use :P

Just out of curiosity, how much people still use SMS? I can’t remember last time I sent SMS.

Here in Finland we use mainly Whatsapp, FB Messenger, Telegram or Signal for messaging. Almost no one I know has sent SMS in the last 10 years.

Additionally, you would have to uninstall and reinstall the app after you’re effectively out of beta.

Or wait until stable version has higher version number than beta and it should updated automatically.

Yep, as I said, only way is to limit it to 85%, but I want to charge full 100%. So that’s where chargie comes in. It only charges to 100% once and shuts down charging.

Got one when I got my Samsung Fold 3. I liked smart charging on my old OnePlus but Samsung doesn’t have that… Only way is to limit it to 85% or charge to full 100%. And I rather use full 100% of my battery because I use it a lot.

Last time I checked my battery health was still “good” after 2 years of use (via Samsung diagnostic tool).

I’ve set my chargie charge to 85% and then recharge only when battery drops 10% or more. And at 5:00 it charges once to 100% so I have my full battery at morning

Couple of times in last two years it hasn’t charged up to 100% (stopped to 85%). Don’t know why, but it hasn’t been huge issue.

Don’t know if charge helps with battery, but at least it doesn’t make it worse 🤷

Been rocking a Z-Fold 3 since it came out and love it,

Same here. Or I was until I dropped my Fold 3 to repair center to replace the inner screen protector. As they peel out the screen protector, they broke the inner screen 😅

…so currently I’m waiting until they get new screen (and IIRC, screen includes new batteries) and replace that under warranty.

And because of their error, I basically get almost brand new phone (as inner screen and battery are two parts what could die first), so I’m not complaining 😬.

And I’m not in hurry to replace Fold 3 just yet 😄

Would maintenance mode be enough for repair shop?
