For people having problem with Samsung watch 4/5 , watch4 classic and watch5 pro , the following app in the last reply worked for me like a charm. It did all the necessary installtions itself.

Just one more question, is android 13 stable build released? I just downgraded to Android 12 stable version. The new Android 13 update is showing up in software update on Android 12 stable version. Not going through the trial menu.

I m on OS13 beta and noticing flickering of the screen when switching between apps, minimizing the app. Clearly looks like. Software issue and wondering if anybody is facing a similar issue.

I am from UK. And using without problems. I use VOXI (Vodafone), TEst with Smarty (Three). No problem at all. The strange thing is that not showing 5G. It says that is not in China. Or something like this. Otherwise everything is fine with connection. I don't use Android Auto. I can't say anything. Notifications are strange. No Dual APP :(. You have to install 3rd part app. Google Pay is not accepting all cards. To install Galaxy Watch 4 you have to download chinese WearOS.
Hi I'm with voxi as well and thinking about buying the x fold plus. Can you answer a few questions please. After the recent origin OS 3 update does Google maps timeline location history work? Can you tether on voxi as I currently use Voxi too and tether alot of data on my Xiaomi Mi 9. So need the fold to allow tethering. Does Google pay accept Santander?

Haha that's what I always have it set to without vibration. But on MIUI you can put it on DND mode AND allow the sound for phone calls via dialler or WhatsApp etc that would be ideal.

Anyone found a complete solution for forcing full play on every app in unfolđ mode?
I have every setting checked but many apps do not stretch over the camera hold in the inner screen.

Anyone know why my background power consumptions are constantly getting back to default after every reboot of the vivo x fold? Very annoying as i constantly have to adjust this **** again, as no notifications are coming on my huawei watch, etc...

    This phone is still top foldable device on the market till date. Every now and then a foldable device is released surely can't compete with the Vivo x Fold and Fold +
    The bigger screens, the better camera, the wireless charging option, the faster charging speed wired and wireless, the infra red port and the onscreen fingerprint sensors just makes it unbeatable!!!!
    I really wish they could have a global rom based version to get to use android auto and app clone and have a perfect experience with this marvelous phone!!!

    Recieved another update this morning.

    Does anyone know if I have to do some extra steps to allow Google find my phone to work? I've enabled all notifs, given all permission but location permission only allows "when using device" and not always allow. I've also enable high power usage and and tried it with the app open, locked in recents and still can't get it to "make a sound" from my other phone. Is this one of those features like Google play that can never work. Also is there an alternative as vivo find doesn't work also since it says I'm in the wrong region (UK). Edit: I also enabled all permissions in device manager to allow the app to erase everything etc. But still can't find the device using my other phone.

    It works the other way round I can "find" my tablet and make it ring and make my other phone ring with the vivo x fold plus
    I didn't do anything and i was able to locate my x fold tho. The ringing is also working for me.

    Thanks. The carrier check is off which is good. Now Open dial and Type *#*#4636#*#* · Choose the Phone information option, what do you see for VoLTE Provisioned I see you have the HD icon and it seems to be on?

    Thanks, but then i get message ''USSD code running'' and than ''connection problem or invalid MMI code''

    I installed SystemUI Tuner and gave it adb access with Shizuku. In SystemUI Tune there is an option icon blacklist to hide icons in status bar and turning of "hd" in auto did the job.

    use zfont 3, it offer you to install any ttf you want. first you must add one adb command but all easy. works perfect

    Well, it seems that I have skipped the last update and got a more recent one. Now all apps can be added to the sidebar and can be put into floating windows, which is just great.
    i went to their forum, nagged about their OS and lacked of multiwindows features and finally they listened.

    Finally successfully root my X Fold.
    System Version is 15.7, here's my original boot.img without patch, hope this is useful to you guys.

    And this is the 15.7 OTA package link which I intercept by wireshark.

    And is there anyone know how to connect Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 to Vivo X fold?
    Tried for a few hours, but didn't get any solution.

    What needs to happen in order to get an official forum? Is it time? Post interest? World domination?

    Just got my X Fold yesterday in Canada and loving it so far. I have 5G on the videotron network and forced the 5G radio by using the app "ForceLTE" in the Play Store. I previously used this app to enable 5G for my Oppo Find N and it has worked on both phones with China ROM. I change the settings to "NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA" under set preferred network type. After a few moments I have full 5G signal.

    I also have managed to get all notifications working using the methods described by Greggles on YouTube. I noticed that even though notifications were being delivered, that they would not appear on the lockscreen. I isolated the culprit to be "Smart Notifications" under "Notifications and Status Bar". By turning that thing off, all my notifications started to appear on the lockscreen. I also ensured that "Google Basic Service Management" was turned on under "Accounts and Sync" which seemed to also help with notification issues.

    Lastly, I followed the steps to set up a Vivo account to set a default launcher from a 3rd party app also outlined by Greggles. I have been using Niagara for quite some time and it scaled beautifully for outer screen and inner screen (see photo).

    I can say that I have tried most foldables (Z Fold 1/2/3, Surface Duo 1/2, Oppo Find N), and the X Fold has so far delivered the best experience so far. It was well worth it. Happy to see many others enjoying too!
