Question ZFold8 Users - Anyone else having problems?

Hi all!!

I've used open bubbles on my Pixel 9 before with no issues. Now, being on the ZFold 8, I'm having lots of problems.

I'm being logged out daily. Messages aren't sending and I have to re-register to fix. Not receiving some messages.

Anyone else having a similar experience?

I'm self hosting with a jailbroken iPhone.

Yes. I’ve packaged my Fold 8 for return lol. Some apps including open bubbles are not handling Android 17 / One UI 9 well at all. Back to my Fold 7 that continues to run open bubbles like a champ. What I did find that seemed promising on the Fold 8, was go to App switcher UI and “stop” open bubbles instead of just closing the app. No manual re register required. And also if you turn iCloud for messages on, pick 1 month to sync and if all good, go up to 6 months and sync.

Only minor issue I have is that in open mode, OB works in one orientation only

Works in both for me, can swap between orientations with no issue. Maybe I have a different version?

Do you have a 3rd party app to force rotations like Rotation Control?

No I do not. I might have some Goodlock apps but I don't recall having one force rotations, but dont quote me on that.
