I saw that, I'm really miffed now as my unlocked (but on Verizon network) Fold 2 has no sign of an update yet. I thought by getting the unlocked version I would get updates more quickly, I guess not.
Got a tip for us?

Its a shame. This morning.. found out AT&T has pushed out an update, tried to change my date for tomorrow to force an update. But, no go!
On a positive side, there's an update to Goodlock. I like how animated it looks.
Yes but I would think even a US unlocked one, in theory, should be faster because Samsung does not have to get US carrier approval/testing, etc.
Who knows the complexity/reasoning behind these things same with Apple many things in the US are not available elsewhere but were are not making a crusade out of it
What are your must-have tools and use cases for Good Lock? I tried it but didn't really feel any need for it so I deleted it.Its a shame. This morning.. found out AT&T has pushed out an update, tried to change my date for tomorrow to force an update. But, no go!

Glad you asked.Let’s start with QuickStar, I used this to remove icons from the status bar. I prefer having a clean status bar... I only use Cellular, Wifi and Battery Icon. I even remove the battery percentage and time, I can swipe down to get that information from Notification Center.
Then there’s MultiStar, I feel like this is a must for Galaxy Fold... primarily because Samsung hasn’t really fulfilled tablet UI and I think this helps in that aspect. I mostly rely on Enabling MultiWindow for all apps and Multi-Window Screen zoom. The Multi-Window Screen zoom helps for when in pop-up action to view more content. There’s plenty more features to MultiStar, but I don’t really rely on too many options though.
And then there’s HomeUp, I use this to change my Home Screen... I can add more app grids to it for more apps and add a blur to the App Tray. Then there’s the PopUp (app) folder, you can change how that looks as well. Samsung released this Share Manager feature under HomeUp about a month or two ago. It helps to customize the share sheet... makes it less convoluted.
There’s plenty of other modules under GoodLock to use.. but these modules that I personally use. And there’s the Family section under GoodLock, but those modules are standalone apps.. like One Hand Operations+ & Sound Assistant (both are a must).
Just bought the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 for €891 euro's with the new €500 euro cashback of Samsung. Well that's an insane low price for the Fold 2.
Thanks for all that! Looks like I have some work to do to put all of that to use.

I got the update today, unlocked version.
And I'm still waiting... smh.
It should of hit my phone by now, I don't know what's causing the issue.
Hmm hope soon... No big deal so far haven't had a chance to check around... But seems OK minus a few Good Lock apps need updates
Yeah, I read there’s not much to it. A few visual changes... most Fold owners are not a fan of how the narrow the Notification Center is. I was just hoping to see more specific Fold features.
Yup yup hate the narrow drop down... Stock multi task sucks too... And I'm seeing re draw going home from inside an app on Smart Launcher
Finally got my update last night, woohoo. The phone app is goofy though, not sure if I like the new fonts/look. Plus it doesn't work with Google Voice anymore. You used to be able to dial from the Samsung phone app and it would give you the choice to use your Google number or your carrier number. Now when trying to enable that feature again inside Google Voice I get an error message that says: "Your phone can't use Voice" with no other options. Sigh, so now every call I make has my "real" number, which is exactly what I want to avoid.
Not sure what you mean re draw from going home? I don't use any other launchers except for stock. And yeah, I've seen complaints about the new Multi-task... however I tend to just multitask with my Edge Panel.
Having 20 apps to utilize under Edge Panel is enough for me to multitask.
Yeah, that's not good. I use Google Voice, but not for voice/calling purposes... I mainly use it for text.
Can you double check and see if you are getting that error as well? The setting is in Google Voice, under "Calls started from this device's phone app" I'm hoping it's just that the phone app needs to be updated. I'm not sure where I would feedback this to Samsung though.
Delay to see my home screen icons and widget..
I don't use it for calls but this is what I see..
Yeah, its definitely something to do with OneUI 3.0 for Samsung.
On your status bar... do you use a theme to customize your icons or is that a standalone app.

Thanks guys, ok so something in my setup isn't working. Going to try to reinstall Google Voice. Is there any way to uninstall/reinstall Samsung phone app?
Edit: never mind, a reinstall fixed everything!
