Switched to the Moto G4 Plus as my daily driver:- Ask your questions about the phone! - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello everyone! So I recently bought the new Moto G4 Plus(3GB RAM variant) and I am switching to it as my daily driver for a few days(My usual daily driver is the Galaxy S6). There seems to be a lot of controversies about the G4, mostly regarding the CPU. Hence, I am creating this post for all you users out there who are considering the New Moto G4 plus as their next phone. I will keep updating this thread as I keep using the phone and I will post various things like a full review,camera samples,battery life statistics etc. My impressions with the phone so far
- Very Good 1080p Display
- Camera is a solid improvement over the last generation
- Fingerprint scanner is amazing! Just made a video comparing it with my Galaxy S6 and the G4 Plus wins
- Haven't faced the heating issues as of now but I haven't extensively used the device
- Battery life seems to be promising,but will hold my opinion until I use for a few days
- Turbo Charging is present which is great.
- Dual SIMs + MicroSD Card slot + 32GB built-in storage
- Proper Manual Mode in the Camera is a great thing to have.
Do let me know your questions about the phone and I will make sure to answer all of them.
More updates shall follow

Moto G4 Stress Test - Does it really overheat?
Video comparing the fingerprint reader :-

I'm switching from my actually still pretty usable Moto G 1 to this new version -- although only the 2 GB RAM variant is available to me.
What do you think of the quality of the Wi-Fi, data, GPS? Pretty solid, good range?
Thanks and keep posting your impressions!

Hello!
Thanks for making this informative thread!
I have two queries prior to purchasing Moto G4 Plus. Pls help me out by answering both of them --
1.) Is there any call recording app which works fine in Moto G4 Plus? Also, does that app also records the calls when the headphones are connected?
2.) Can we save default location storage for whatsapp and other apps to be the external memory card?

Can you test this app using a headphone?

Can you run the app GPS Status?

Thanks a lot for the reply!
Can you pls chk if we can change it's storage path to be set as external memory card (for the call recordings)?
Also, did u check that both side audio is clear with headphones too?
Thanks again!

See the screenshots. Storage path is set to external sdcard. Recordings are crystal clear on both sides.

Is it allowing to install 64bit apps? Also what about the overheating issue which is reported by many users.
Thinking to Switch from my old Moto G to G3 or G4 Plus. Actually, G3 is enough for my kind of use and it's also water resistant. But only concern is that we might get an old stock piece when we purchase now.

Just wanted to know whether we can set the whatsapp default folder also to be the external card without rooting the phone?

That's a feature WhatsApp should support and I don't think the official app supports it.

Actually, I had used Acer Z630s and in that, by default, all the media content as well as backup files of whatsapp used to save in external sd card. So, that's what I wanted to know..
Moreover, someone told me that under Storage settings, we can change the default storage location to external sd card so that all the apps get saved in the sd card. So, is there any option in Moto G4 Plus? Pls reply!
Thanks!

Donno. Someone using WhatsApp has to help you out with it.

Old stock piece is not a problem if you ask me.
64-bit apps are not supported as of now due to 32-bit kernel/OS.
Overheating issue remains to be seen. Probably not a problem if you live in a Nordic country.

Hi..
I am not asking about how to restore backup.
I meant to ask that can I set the external sd card to be the default location for whatsapp and other apps?
And I dont want to set my external sd card as adoptable storage..

As OP has mentioned it's a WhatsApp issue not a G4 Plus issue, so please don't keep on asking off-topic questions.
Marshmallow has changed how external SD is handled, if you don't like it you can stick with your Acer Z630S
Of course there are ways to hack this through, someone may explain to you, say, if you ask nicely

Can't use the Gallery preview on HTC Legend (zeubea-cm-9.0.0-Alpha2.3-legend-KANG)

You can get QuickPic by Alensw from the market this works really well as a non stock gallery replacment.
Yes I read it:
18) most of widgets (Bookmarks, Gallery preview, Time and Weather, GMail, etc.)

Hi, i think what he meant by 'Gallery Preview' is the Photo Gallery widget. I can use it without any issue in my homescreen. But the one you are saying having an issue is the Gallery app itself which have similar issue like Camera and etc. Try installing other 3rd party gallery apps or just use QuickPic like our friend suggested.
Anyway, stock Gallery should work with the last version ( 2.4 ).

Yeah, yeap, i agree with u. QuickPic is way better than stock app. Because i can use it to set wallpaper. Using stock Pick activity to set wallpaper always not responding for me.

A Decent observations of samsung S3 leaked firmware 4.2.2

First I’d like to thank my friend “Akram Khan” for giving me this opportunity then I’d like to thank “XDA” for accepting our Post by trusting us and also would like to Samsung for giving such an amazing device in last year.
I am one of the happiest user of Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), it is an International version which boast Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 processor, with 1 GB of RAM in Exynos 4412 Quad Chipset having Mali-400MP GPU displaying the brighter Resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.8 inches (306 ppi) in samsung’s innovative Super AMOLED display. The internal memory storage has 3 sizes 16,32 & 64 GB with additional MicroSD slot to extend the storage upto additional of 32 GB.
To say about me I’m an normal technology lover as usual as how most of the common Indian youngsters are. This is my 3rd android device prior to this I had LG Optimus Black and HTC sensation. Through the Service Center I got the Latest 4.2.2 update & in this Post I am willing to share few words about the latest update & also my experience with Samsung Galaxy S3.
Since I am one of the privileged customer for Samsung , I got a call from one of the Service Center nearby my place regarding the galaxy S3 update for 4.2.2.it took almost 10 to 15 min’s to complete the update through jig device. After the update my phone started to respond much faster. I felt as if I am having one of the new phone from the market. The response was seamless & tremendous fast didn’t even had a single lag in any part. They enriched the OS by adding few more additional Software chages.
Lock screen.
Let me start from the Lock Screen it has the same kind of light effect moving along with your finger motion in the screen, as how you have it in the latest Galaxy S4 & the lock screen customizable option has been Enabled now you can add upto 4 pages in the Lock screen allowing you to add multiple widgets avoiding to unlock the screen & you can also customize the message displaying in the lock screen.
Display
Display part there are couple of tweaks the adaptive Display & additional display modes available such has the option to enable the Adaptive display which adapts according to the light & also additional display mode which is the “Professional photo” mode for better display to help in photo shoot.

}
Notification panel
In the Notification area they have enhanced the option to delete any screenshot which you captured and also to delete any received pictures or songs & rest all remains the same.
New Additional Features
The settings menu has been provided with sub menu in the Tab wise as seen in Galaxy S4.
The 3D display in the Gallery has a white Background, prior to this which was in Black color.
In the Smart Switch Widget they have added 4 additional features which are for enableing & disabling the “Direct Call, Smart Stay,Voice Control & SBeam. The stock video player is also enhanced with the Scren capture option to snapup the currnetly played video & rest of the features remains the same & the phone has the buttery smooth response.
Overall Experience with this update is impressive, Samsung has tried much to provide few features from Galaxy S4 to its last year successor Galaxy S3 & the highlight of this update is it has not caused any performance issues in the device.
An Un-noticed Issue
Even though Samsung has enhanced the Galaxy S3 features, it has failed to imporve the Call Log issue,even after this latest update still the Call logs are taking few more seconds to get launched & even in toggeling between the Call logs & contacts has a huge lag.However this issue is being carried since the launch of this device this & not yet fixed. Even a normal phone would load the call logs much faster than this smart phone.

they did call, as he has reported multiple issues with the phone and i had raised a complaint against them, they took back the 16gig and replaced with 32gig as the 16gig had lot of issues.

My apologies .This was moved.
Moved as it was in question and answers .
Fact is you made out you are a privileged user who Samsung allowed a preview of 4.2.2 .
Fact is that the release you previewed is not a Samsung release at all but the old leak .
Any Samsung employee advising or giving out this leaked beta test firmware would be sacked .
That in a nutshell is why i thought your post was a fake .

KitKat update worth the headache?

Just hoping for some user experience on stock kitkat vs custom .
Currently using Free Xperia 302 based on CM 10 JB 4.3, I cant find a single thing wrong with this rom. It's very fast and stable, GPS, camera and netflix working great!
Should I update, is the os as smooth as JB 4.3 cm build? I would imagine it would not because it is not ASOP. But is it that different in speed?
I personally don't see much of an advantage and you're probably getting great or better performance already. I guess some points come to mind:
Pros
-Small Apps will return with stock
-I like the Sony UI
-I don't know if you've installed a compatible IR blaster with your custom rom but if not you'll get that functionality back with stock.
Cons
-SD card permission problem (but I guess you'll still root)
-Apparently there is a battery drain issue with Google Play Services on 4.4 (and opting out of interest based ads in the settings is supposed to help)
Thanks, I'm not upgrading. Cheers!

Thanks for recommending this ROM: installed it last night and wow! Installed
omni-4.4.3-20140614-pollux_windy-NIGHTLY.zip
Its flawless! Games look better and game frame rates are higher I'm coming from CM 4.3.3
All hardware works; GPS, Camera, etc. Netflix too. I uninstalled DSP manager and replaced with Viper4android. So awesome!! KitKat 4.4.3; it is so buttery smooth and stable; no crashes of FC.I recommend everyone at least try this build; its money! I'm so glad I didn't upgrade to official Sony Kitkat ROM and that I saw you post. Definitely will be sending a donation tithes guys for doing such a good job. This will be my new rail driver.
Omni awesome!

Well, you see, this is just one of the BIG KK-Disadvantage.
So Upgrading to KitKat is a QuiteVERY BIG AND BAD DISASTER! A horribly bad mistake that many people (incl. my self) trap into!
If you install CameraMX for example, make videos and photo-recordings etc. then let's see what will happen, if you deinstall/uninstall it...!
Android 4.3.1/Lower: All Recordings will stay. Only the app itself is deleted. Even on the External Storage you'll keep them all.
But since 4.4.0, your recordings will all be erased forever.
Thank you Microsoft to introdûce MTP just for Zune Player. A good alternative to Mass-Storage. No access to File System=Inrecoverible!
And if your BootLoader is Locked, the „Factory_Data-Reset“ will WIPE, SAFE DELETE OFF ALL FILES so that the recoverage-chance would be absuloutelý dead!
But: If MTP would not be there, maybe GooGLE would have made something even worse!
Google has done every version very well. But since KitKat, theý, the Programmers and Android-Enginierrs did actually ruin it all!
Well done, Google! Good JOB!
Top 4 Worst KitKat-Versions:
#3 - 4.4.0
#4 - 4.4.1
#1 - 4.4.4
#2 - 4.4.3
#0 = Android 4.4.2 KitKat

Some another KitKat-Problems:
>WiFi not stamina (Only for 4.4.2)
>Battery-problems because of task „Android·OS“ - Only 4.4(.0) and 4.4.2!
>64% of all 4.4.2 users have battery-problems with Skýpe. Google recommends you to UN - INSTALL!!! ! ! - Have i got to give a comment about Googles recommendation??? ? ?-Well..., i don't think so. So what...?
>And many other problems. If you want to know more, then ask me.
If you haven't got a XDA-Forum Account but you want to know...
Well, then just NOT UPGRADE, if you don't want to take any risk!
>New Accent-Colour (betonungsfarbe) of the Status-Bar.
>WiFi and Network-Status ↑↓ is not shown up anymore „to avoid battery and useless CPU-Usage. “
AnD THE WORST:
More and More phones START WITH KshITKAT!
The first KK-Statrer was the Nexus 5. Well, it's a Google-Phone, so it's got the newer „better“ version!
And ALL S5 Variants too! (S5 +S5Mini+Active+Sport+all others.... like LTE-A)
All new HTC One, luckily not the MAX.
Sony Xperia: Z2 and Z2 Tablet, Z3, Z3 Compact and the Z3-Tablet·ComPact!
Galaxy Tab S, Note Pro, Tab 4.
And many others too.....

I personally don't see much of an advantage and you're probably getting great or better performance already. I guess some points come to mind:
Pros
-Small Apps will return with stock
-I like the Sony UI
-I don't know if you've installed a compatible IR blaster with your custom rom but if not you'll get that functionality back with stock.
Cons
-SD card permission problem (but I guess you'll still root)
-Apparently there is a battery drain issue with Google Play Services on 4.4 (and opting out of interest based ads in the settings is supposed to help)

Well... Google knows about this battery problem but they don't want to tell us, what causes that bug... what did cause this bug? Well, Google does not want to tell us that, about the Android-Code and so on... but well..... 4.4.3 fixes this.!

yep, but 4.4.4 is a pretty good one, especially if fine-tuned a bit.

The Note 4 has 4.4.4
But i hate 4.4.2
4.4.4 is still much better than 4.4.2.
We should be getting 5.0.2 this month or early next month, which should bring some worthwhile changes to the table.

For some phons, it's already there.
Sure, Nexus 5,6,9
HTC One M9
Galaxy S6
And Xperia Z4, whenever it comes out.

this is just ridiculous

Had the phone since this past Sunday and have only charged it one time. Phone came delivered with 100% battery straight from Amazon. I literally am dumbfounded as to how efficient this thing is and how snappy and lagless it is as well. I'll let the screenshots do the rest of the talking. This phone is amazing!
It runs on magic and unicorns. I used to be all stingy with battery back when I had my Moto G 2014 but once I got this little beast I stopped caring, even when foregoing all optimizations I still get at least 8 hours of SoT.
Im really curious is this more of a SD625 thing or a Motorola thing.
A thorough head to head with the other 625s would be interesting
Honestly, my best devices have been Moto phones, even after the Lenovo take over.

this is more of a sd 625 plus stock android thing, moto just made the right choices and put it in a wonderful shell made of metal and glass.

Agreed. Hardware/spec choices were made for usability and power efficiency, rather than to fight in a spec war.

And they succeeded in grabbing my attention. Now, if they can improve the camera in speed and low light I'll be hooked for life
I have over a 100 apps installed and I see no lag or battery drain, definitely one of the best implementation of software + hardware of any android phone that I have used (and I have used maybe 10 different android phones including many flagships)

Please enlighten us here and share your methods, I want root for a few reasons (Viper4android and dual speaker mod mainly and the permanent removal of bloat and clearing the system to be better optimized)
Much appreciated.

What is this duel speaker mod you speak of? I'm out of the loop. Haven't been rooted in 5 months, feels weird.

It's a mod which enables the earpiece speaker with any audio/ video giving the phone a "stereo" experience and your videos and songs will sound louder. Just think HTC dual speakers.

Just used this and it worked.
Just install using the install.bat
There is a uninstall.bat as well.
My phone is a little laggy after rooting. So I can't attribute it's behavior to this mod. I still have to refine the necessary lag root issues.

Well wifi calling works until I installed the zip to remove the VOLTE icon.So as long as you don't mind the hurricane type of icon in your notification bar you won't have a problem

My S-Health doesnt work either, see ss below.
Xposed has not been officially released for Nougat, last I checked anyways. I've been waiting for it myself.

If you uninstall s health and then install and older version before 5.0 it will work and then you can update to the latest s health within the app. That's what worked for me at least
So what your saying is use Samsung S health 4.8 apk and it will work for root
---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------
Also,the duel speaker mod works with Nougat and it's not broken meaning it works with everything!In 6.0 some music apps didnt work like blackplayer,utube,spotify,stock samsung music and video apps and such now works.
I reset value for audio to 93.Keep it between 90-95 and with Nougat atom dolby mod.The phone is screaming!!!
---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------
My s7 is so smooth its hard to believe its rooted with eng.bootloader.It feels like stock with no lag or stuttering and or freezing.I let my 7 and 8 year old play with phone for testing and loving it!
Governor set to ondemand
Swapper 3.91 gb +50% swapper
Set on performance or extream performance mod
Not sure why people are having problems with S Health. I haven't factory wiped my phone so basically Nougat was an over the air update. I did reinstall stock a few times because of wifi calling issues but I've gotten those worked out.
S Health works fine for me To all of you that can't get S Health work did you disable Knox by chance?
I'm an idiot and messed up the build.prop and forgot to back it up can somebody help me with the stock one thanks
