My Z Flip 6 Disaster! (I Got Screwed)

[@aLmeL35]

You CAN use dex with your flip 6. Go to developer settings, enable "force desktop mode", use a type c hub to connect to a display and enjoy. In fact, you get access to the New Dex interface which is native on tablets and never before seen on a mobile phone device.

[@rldeppe1]

Really, I read the specs on the flip 6. And it definitely says no dex

[@crimsonFay]

Oh yes, this is working pretty well. Only thing is you can never know if they'll remove this feature in a future update or not... What you said is true, tho - officially, the flip is not supposed to support Dex

[@rldeppe1]

@crimsonFay gotcha. Thanks man. My flip 4 doesn't have it. I upgrading to flip 6 and was Bummed out when I saw it didn't have it

[@aLmeL35]

@@rldeppe1 It really is lame, the flip 4 has a pretty strong chipset. I'd suggest you hold on to it tho, I suspect this is a thing for the One UI 6.1.1 update, so you might get this feature unlocked on your device soon, too.

Ehhh I wasn't a big fan of "new" dex it just felt like my same tablet lay out but now I can make apps float a lil easier. Missed the task bar and the dex version quick menu

Samsung almost screwed me. Received my 44mm galaxy watch 7 on the 31st with only the watch and free band, not the band that comes with the watch, called them twice and they said the promotion was over twice, finally Received my promo code for the band that was supposed to come with the watch. The fabric band I got for free feels better anyway and the watch is great. Hope everything works out well for you.

[@Jv9569]

I've read plenty of stories on Reddit about Samsung claiming that the trade-in device never showed up (then the customer sends a video where they show the shipping process and get cleared of the debt). Then there's also this issue where postal workers steal packages on the regular. It's a shame that this seems to be a common occurrence.

[@RyanLove06]

Wiiiiiild that someone (you) who's been such a big supporter of Samsung, given them so much press (usually pretty positive) and paid out of YOUR OWN POCKET to go see their presentation got screwed like that...I hope they make it right.

[@TechOdyssey]

I'm not the only one either. I am glad I could go because I was able to make some great advanced content for you guys, but it cost more than the Z Fold 6 for me to go up there lol. And then have to buy the Z Fold 6, Flip 6, Ring, Watch, etc... They did give me the Buds 3 Pro though :)

Samsung is a corrupt company, so it doesn't surprise me. I've been scammed by them myself.

[@JusticeIsAProcess]

I believe the $100 increase is due to the AI features which they are claiming are for “free” but will charge in two years. So it comes out to $50 per year for everyone who is purchasing this year. Just a thought.

[@zevahc3928]

I've been waiting for this video! I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience. I got mine on the 19th and the biggest difference I notice between it and my previous phone (S23 Ultra) is the weight and the stabbing in my hip I get when carrying it in my pocket. Also, this is a night and day difference from the last time I tried out a flip which was the Z Flip 3. I went with the ZF6 over the Motorola because of the extra storage and the Samsung ecosystem which I'm fully locked into at this point.

Samsung had issues with preorders cancelling because the shipping address(pick up location) didn't match the billing address. My preorder got cancelled 4 times with no real reason provided by Samsung until I ended up choosing the option to have it shipped to my home and the order stuck

[@TechOdyssey]

It’s weird though because my fold shipped but in my same account my in store flip phone got cancelled. So odd.

After I didn't get it a few days after official release date I just gave up on ordering from them and will most likely stick with my Fold5 unless I cave and get the RAZR and I REALLY like that phone..

[@davidrhee8533]

I got the same treatment but my pre-order finally went through with most all delivered by yesterday (8/5).. Considering I pre-ordered on the 1st day and only got the watch on the 1st expected date of 7/24.. No delivery date until 8/3/2024 and for it come in on 8/5/2024... Multiple calls into their customer service centers with no timeline or resolution... Still waiting for the earbud which is projected to be here by 8/9/2024 (at least it shipped)_.. Also, I would recommend signature required so it forces them to deliver.. if not, we know it was stolen from UPS.. UPS delivery is never accurate but luckily the fold came in earlier (1 hour than expected).. Now Samsung Care started on 8/3 (day of delivery) and not when I got it an registered (fighting with them on 2 days)... Also, price match (cheaper purchase of the same thing after the pre-order purchases) and refund for all the charging, etc... BTW, their escalation is disappointing and resolution never seem to end.. Urgh.. They were so good then but so bad now.. Being that I worked for Samsung, this is even more disappointing..

I preordered the Z fold 6 in navy blue, chose pickup at best buy. Release day comes and it's 3 pm and I still don't have an update. 1 pm, I did an experiment. Put in a same day order for another color also showing available at that best buy. An hour later, order read for pickup. smh. I waited two more hours since I now had a gauranteed device to pick up. Still no update on ready for pick up. Despite that I ordered another one and a watch ultra on release day that were both ready at different locations within one hour. So I cancelled the preorder and picked up the same day order. smh

I normally wouldn't have had my watch shipped to my house. But T-MOBILE wouldn't let it come to their store. I dont mind not getting the pre-recorded stuff.

Hey, sorry to hear about what happened, that sucks - isn’t there a way to file a case to atleast get a refund? I hope there is bc that’s an expensive phone! I’m in the Philippines and I believe the courier Samsung uses here is a company (unknown to me but) they’re affiliated with because the delivery guy also takes the phone we’re trading in, so he’s responsible for checking and returning the old phone, which then avoids the new phone from getting stolen Loved my zflip5 that I didnt want to upgrade, but the deal I had last year was only a 2yr warranty and a charging adapter. This year, the deal includes a galaxy watch 6 classic and the led flipsuit, so I basically upgraded bc of the watch lol. But im loving the zflip6 ❤

i was offered by Samsung Australia $450 as a trade in on my flip 5 which i hardly use i would have to pay $1550 out of pocket,i decided to keep the flip 5 which i never really use as i use my razr40 ultra as i use the outer screen more,i thought they would have got the outer screen working without having to install goodlock.

I had issues with mine too similar to yours. I was positive that it was lost/stolen but it finally was delivered 2 days after they initially said it was supposed to arrive. UPS also just dropped it off at my door without getting my signature despite it clearly being marked as "signature required". Glad I work from home now so it was less of an issue but this is still poor service from UPS.

I'm sorry you had issues with getting new flip. I love your videos.

Glad you like them! And thank you!

I pre-ordered the Fold 6, Watch Ultra and buds 3 Pro on announcement day. They all said they would be delivered by July 24th. All I have is the watch and the rest has no expected date at this point.

I don't understand why Samsung aren't sending you media review units - you have a big following!

[@johnwhitehead238]

Wow! I thought my day was a disaster when I locked my keys in my car & had to pay $125 to get it unlocked! Hope it all works out! 👍

[@endrickcuyos6965]

Im so sorry that you had that bad experience knowing you had them pre ordered. I was lucky i got mine in blue and it came earlier than expected date. Hoping that Samsung would address this issue knowing there are apt of people supports their products.

I got all my devices on the 19, but I ordered while they were doing the unpack event.

[@TechOdyssey]

Nice!

This is just one of many reasons why I'm so over Samsung. They closed all our stores, here in Canada. Team Pixel & iPhone. I'm done with Samsung. 😅

My ordeal is different, but just as frustrating. I've bought the Z Flip series (unlocked ones) for the past few years and been able to use the Xfinity Mobile sim card for my service. I did the same yearly pre order routine, got the Z Flip 6, inserted the Xfinity sim card, and nothing! I took it to the Xfinity store in case i needed an updated sim card, and was informed my Z Flip 6 was incompatible. I double checked through the website, entered the IMEI number, and yup, incompatible. Of course the Xfinity salesman tried to tell me to return the phone and buy the one offered by Xfinity Mobile....with barely any incentives. So, I basically have a little over a 1 week window to return the Flip 6 (in the meantime, I'm checking Xfinity's website each day for updates to see if my phone is whitelisted). So much for early pre-order savings.....if I have to return it I'll just keep using my Flip 5 I guess.

Same here with Spectrum. Said it wasn't compatible, but I could buy one from them. Nope. Cancelled the service after porting number to Tello.

[@simplydan]

Oh man that is so terrible luck. I'm not shocked your order with UPS was stolen. This is why I only do store pickup for phones now. Especially after my pixel 6 was stolen years ago and whoever took it ripped one side open and filled it up with some crap and sealed it.

As one who lives close to Houston, what mexican restaurant did you go to?

[@TechOdyssey]

I like a lot of them. Depends on what side of town though. I'm on the south east side

Multiple systems have been affected by the Crowdstrike situation. It's unfortunate, but that's life. Make lemonade with lemons

I’m currently drinking lemonade
