Hello, I have a 32/2 GB Eu variant of the g4 plus. Much to my dismay it doesn't have the CDMA support for certain US networks. I'm giving mine to my mum here and getting a us 64/4 GB model, and would like to basically carbon copy this phone. I've rooted and optimised and modded and have tuned it with my governors and uninstalled all sorts of moto crap. My screen on time has gone from 4 h to ~5.5. Furthermore my Google play music is all cached. (Such a pain to redownload)
If possible I'd like to not have to set up everything again. I know titanium is good for apps, any recommendations for the rest?
Thanks guys!
I don't know if anyone else noticed this but the new Moto is more Google than ever. Is this part of the deal with Lenovo? To keep things as Google as possible? If so, I'm super excited.
Let me explain how I came to this conclusion.
I've owned all the Moto phones since Google acquired Motorola Mobility. All of them had some extra Moto apps, Moto Gallery, Messages, Alert, Migrate, Connect, E-Mail etc except this year. This year they were different. They removed all the apps except the Moto Camera and the Moto app (except the droids since they have the Verizon bloatware and Verizon launcher, the unlocked ones come with Google Now Launcher and Google Messenger). Now all the Moto phones have the same look as a Nexus with 2 - 3 extra additions that we know and love. If that is not enough to convince you, take a look at the design guidelines of their website, it looks like something made by Google. Same font, same writing style everything, just different logo. Still not convinced? Take a look at the new Moto logo on top of the fingerprint scanner, it's using Google's own custom font from the new android logo. The custom font was made for Google only. No other brand has the right to use this font, and it is not available anywhere. Google says on their android developer page that the custom font may not be used by anyone so that means Google has its designers take care of Moto.
What do you think? Does it all make sense now?
I would very much agree!
However, the true test of their relationship with Google will be how long it takes for us to get Nougat.
Hey guys, I have a very specific question that I was hoping someone here would know the answer to, and have some advice for.
I bought a Verizon Motorola E4 from Walmart for the sole purpose of being a secondary device to play Pokemon Go.
It actually plays quite well - very adequate performance, plus remarkable battery life.
However, there is one major problem, and that is the Bluetooth functionality seems to be completely broken.
Because of this, it's impossible to connect a Pokemon Go Plus to the phone.
I'm a new user, so I'm unable to post a link, but there are many threads about this on the official Lenovo forum.
If you Google "motorola e4 pokemon go plus", the top link should be one of them.
After many months, Lenovo has done absolutely nothing to address the issue.
So now I'm here to ask whether there might be any alternative options.
Would flashing a third party ROM potentially fix the Bluetooth issues?
Does anyone here play Pokemon Go on a Motorola E4 on a third party ROM?
Does anyone here play Pokemon Go on a Motorola E4 with a Pokemon Go Plus on a third party ROM?
Thanks in advance!

No custom ROMs for this pup (XT1767) as device/rom can not be rooted or unlocked.

Also, it looks like Pokemon go plus isn't just Bluetooth, it's BLE (Bluetooth low energy). Very different. Don't think this device is capable. It also doesn't have NFC.
This phone's Bluetooth is not broken at all, you're just trying to use a feature it doesn't have.
Thanks for the replies... appreciate it.

This was certainly interesting, as I knew nothing about BLE.
However, it seems like the Motorola E4 should have LE though?
It's listed on the gsmarena page on both the regular and USA versions.
I guess this would take me by surprise as even much older phones like a Samsung Note 2 is capable of pairing with a Pokemon Go Plus.

It has Bluetooth 4.0 which actually should be capable of BLE, so I may have been wrong. I know for sure it doesn't have NFC, so maybe the Pokemon go plus uses that as well as BLE.
Because the e4 has good Bluetooth function for everything I've thrown at it.
So on Google Play I've noticed that Moto Alexa has gotten a redesign with Motorolas new icon redesign and the screenshots seem to show a updated version of the app with closer ties to Moto Voice. However my Moto Z2 Play still has the older version. Does anyone have the updated version yet and if so could I have an apk for it? thanks in advance!
Hi guys!
My sister got me a OnePlus Watch CyberPunk 2077 Edition.
She got it from eBay and she didn't know that it won't work outside of China!
After some digging I found out that you can download a global firmware so it'll work.
But I also saw that I'll lose my limited watch faces
Is there any way to bypass the app location or change the firmware without losing the watch faces?
Thanks in advance!
