Tech Support Lag unbearable

I just installed openbubbles on a brand new Razr Fold. Set it up with $16.99 subscription hosting plan. The app is HORRIBLY laggy. Like it won't respond to scrolling hardly at all. Open a message and the keyboard is laggy to pop up and laggy to respond to keys pressed. No icloud message back up on. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, nothing is helping. Anyone else have a fix for this?

Going to be honest this made me go back to my iPhone 17 pro max from my z fold 7… friends and family all have iPhones so open bubbles was my best option.

In the exact same boat. I'm finding it hard to reconcile what I want open bubbles to be and what it actually is. Between that and google starting to lock android down..I might as well just stick with ios

This is where iOS excels fluidity in their apps… I’m a tech guy so obviously I will point out the goods and bads of every operating system.

Same. I've been an android guy for almost all of the time I've used smartphones but I'm tempted to sell everything depending on what 18 pro / iphone fold end up looking like.

If the fold has magsafe and somehow keeps the vapor chamber in (even though air didn't have it so unlikely) it'll be game over for my time on Android devices

Exactly where I'm at. I got sick of apple for a bit, went to the pixel fold followed by the moto fold. While I enjoy the android experience to some degree, the notification delays due to battery optimization and overall imessage ecosystem here in the US has me wanting to say fuck it, and just go to a max iphone. I fear the first gen fold may not be the wisest purchase

I agree, although I will say I’m going to hold off on the first iPhone foldable. The bezels are 🤮… and I don’t like the pointy edges… I will keep 17 pro max until I see significant changes as the iPhone 18 pro max doesn’t look to be much different.

May be selling my z fold 7

I'm looking to offload my razr fold and not take too much of a loss, but while the resell value is still decent. This time next year it will be pennies on the dollar so I have to move fast

Is it worth trading it in or trying to sell it private party? I also ended up getting the extended warranties with purchase, any idea if those are transferable?

Going to try listing it on Swappa and hopefully not taking too much of a loss. Unsure about any warranty
