So....maybe im missing something but....
is motorola's own gallery app not compatible with their newest device? Or do they just expect us to use Google Photos? which i think is a significant downgrade from the actual motorola gallery...

I found a gallery apk from the Moto G that worked for me at:
http://www.androidsage.com/2016/06/...e-camera-file-manager-command-center-gallery/
Seems to look and work just like the one from my Turbo. Funny I didn't notice it missing till I read your post.

I'm very interested about audio quality on headphones. I was reading the reviews but there was nothing specific about this matter. I'm kinda audiophile person, and I;m very demanding when it comes to music playback. Right now i have Xperia Z3 which is awesome music player. I also have audiophile grade headphones.
Did someone tested it in more detailed way, in the matter of audio playback?
Can you share some thoughts on it?

So any way to disable the increasing ringtone? Tried the Disable Increasing Ring app in the play store, but didn't work.
And evidently this should work... But evidently you have to be rooted to edit the /system/ folders/files.

notifications and ringtones
So I bought the moto F Z and moved my sd card over to it.
My subdirectory structure is
/sdcard/media/audio/music
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
worked fine on my samsung S5
Where do I need these to be on the moto F Z ?
I ask because setting up an alarm does not show any of my music/ringtones.

Anyone using a hotspot tethering app or have a solution?

Anyone else notice that the jbl speaker messes with pics/videos using the flash?? I have a battery pack on its way soon. Does that interfere as well?
Also, how's everyone's call quality? I've read a couple reviews where some interference was noticed but the call quality rating was good. Mine hasn't been the greatest and I'm wondering if I have a bad device.
Edit: I exchanged my device and call quality is much better

The audio quality is great. I got the Moto z @ best buy for $1. I was a little taken aback about the attachment needed for headphone jack. The bass compared to my LG G5 is much deeper and richer without any equalizer adjustment. I tried several songs and radio on both. So if you like bass as I do you should be pretty happy. My $12 headphones sounded like they cost more.

Yeah, buy the tethering package. /snark
Free tethering apps, such as FoxFi, have either not worked for Moto phones for a while, or sometimes worked if you used their VPN. But there are not guarantees.

Do you not have hotspot on your Moto z? I do.

Moto Voice
I've been away from Moto devices for awhile. On the original Moto X the Moto Voice would work even through the lock screen, but that doesn't seem to be the case on this version of Moto Voice on my Z Force. I can only do certain things behind the lock screen. If, for example, I want to text someone using Moto Voice, it tells me to unlock the phone. This is super frustrating since not touching your phone should be the whole point of voice activated controls. Do you folks know a fix for this, or is this just what Moto Voice is nowadays? Thanks for your time.

Is there a setting to add "Reboot" as an option when you hold down the power button?

I believe you have to change your overall lock setting to not have any kind of password/gesture/fingerprint security.

[Q] Snapdragon 800 Voice activation

Hi, so i am concerned of the Voice Activation of the Snapdragon 800 .I just can't find people online talk about it. So can anybody help me? Thanks so much:laugh:
Is there any Voice Activation built into the G2??
It works on mine just like it did on my ole gnex .. I don't use it much though
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
I didn't even know...
How does one activate it?
And, more importantly, how does one shut it off?
?? That would be something I have never heard off before for g2.

Well what do you know there is voice activation on the G2 already!
I just tried to use "Voice Mate" and it's not responsive at all...
Is it possible to replace it with Google Now or the Moto X's voice activation?

Well, I'll be.... I really liked that feature on the droid maxx, but didn't want to get a substandard handset to get it.
Well well what a surprise. It does actually exist. =) need to play around with it some more. It was one if the first thing I ignored when I got the phone since I found it to be gimmicky.

I am actually interested in the "Always On" voice activation ala the Moto x so the phone can be spoken to while asleep and then taps into Googles voice commands. This was demoed by the Snapdragon folks using Hello Snapdragon command I believe

Played with it a bit and couldn't find a way to make it useful. It also doesn't work with nova home screen but works well on lock screen. So off it goes for now.

It only works on the lock screen, which really isnt voice activation like motoX or droids, I might as well swipe up and open google now and just ask google. Id want it to work with the phone/screen off
Pretty sure that the snapdragon 800 has a voice processor physically built in similar to the moto x that can listen for keywords even while in standby. I just think its not being fully utilized by lg in the same way as motorola. It might be possible for apps in the future to configure it. Please correct me if I'm wrong

That's correct. It's physically built into the chip. The manufacturers just have to access it. Works on standby so that it's always listening even when on standby and the processor is idle.

That's because lg didn't tale advantage of the feature at all. What you all are talking about with voice mate is the use thing the s4 does with svoice. What the s800 has is the ability to be in always listen mode like the motoX. Except neither Samsung (with the note 3) nor lg coded for it. So the top feature of the s800 is t used by any OEM as of right now

I can't get it to launch via hotword. I don't remember if I turned it on or where to find the on/off. Anyone?
Ok, I found it. So, I guess you can't launch the voice search. You have to be in either voice mate or google now before it recognizes yhe hotwords. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Motorola Moto G

Motorola Moto G launched. Seems very good hardware as always by Motorola with that price point and nice to see 4.3 out of the box. Will be launched in India also to give tough competition to Samsung/Sony/Micromax. But why no micro sd card slot??? what could be the logic?
Great phone! Want to buy one, but can't find anywhere 'in stock'? Tried searching for it in Canada, Brazil, Europe...

logic could be to force the customer to use google drive.

I have a 32GB micro SD to store all my music on. I assume the Drive storage can't be used to store and play music through a normal music app. We're seeing a lot of absence of expandable storage recently. In every case it's the thing that stops me being remotely interested in a phone. Most of all with the HTC One, because it was the one thing that stopped me buying it. I feel like it's just so manufacturers can sell phones with different storage sizes = more moneys...
I apologise for a lil' rant.

Same here. I was considering having the Moto G replace my Atrix, but the lack of expansion is really unattractive. Not only that, the 50GB of Drive is only for 2 years -- I'm expected to pay to keep that space later.

i have no problem with that - for music i also use cloud services like Spotify....
in Germany with some providers the spotify traffic does not even count as mobile data usage. So you still have your data volume for "normal use".
I for myself have no need for a huge internal storage....
about the cloud drive i'll save my Cloud Data to my NAS just before the 2 year's are near to end...
Just got my Moto G in the UK. SIIM-Free (no simlock) and the bootloader can be unlocked via: https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth
Seems like a decent budget device, and a welcome upgrade to my aging Desire HD.

I think they missed a large customer base by not including a 32GB model into the lineup. Although with the lack of 4G, a large release in the US may not be the goal.
anybody wanting to develop custom rom on it?
There is another version with 16gb internal and Google wants you using Google Drive. Sdcard isn't safe, anyone can take it out and have access to your files, but isn't possible stol internal memory, as it is inside the device. Sdcard still slow down the device, as it is one more partition to be mounted at boot and keep mounted when device is powered on. It's better w/o sdcard

For me, the 5 MP of Moto G is the only deal breaker for me.

On the 8gb version it was about 4.x GB so it should be about 12GB on the 16GB Version. It supports also USB OTG so you could expand it with an MicroSD Card in a small reader if you really need more storage for media files.
I think that it is a good device, but it is SIM-Free for all the countries or is according to the operator?

i think it will depend on where you buy it : independent retailer = no simlock ; MNO/MVNO with time-limited contract = simlocked

we wont be getting any answer until users will have this device in their own hands...
this is same story as the oneplus 2... they say its not gonna heat because of the lower core power combo with the sd810 but some users still experienced heat issues after using the device for some time...
so possible that the answer would ,, yes theres still heating up , or no its cool now...
so again we have to wait for the real world experience...

Your old USB chargers should work; the underlying USB standard's backward's compatible so it shouldn't have any problem drawing power from older USB chargers that supply the necessary voltage to the device. I have a OnePlus 2 and I'm able to use the accompanying cable with a variety of chargers.
any word on a CAT 6 modem for carrier aggregation ( especially on sprint/Fi)
Just making sure, the phone works with Verizon, right? I know it has all the correct bands. I'll just pop in my SIM and be good to go?

AndroidPolice said the device is USB 3.0 yet all the cables they sell on the Google store is USB 2.0. Does this matter? Can I buy any USB-A to USB-C on Amazon and assume it's compatible with quick charge? Any car chargers out right now that can do quick charge?
Thanks!
So I have a concern regarding the 810 V2.1
I have the OPT right now and I'm returning it
I noticed that the 6P has down clocked it as well from 2.0 to 1.8, the OPT definitely throttles when you game for a while and gaming tests have shown this how the phone starts lagging.
Even when you run benchmarks continuously the scores keep going down.
Is this something we should be concerned about? Or is the following happening with the OPT because of how they have configured their OS plus the OPT definitely gets hot when playing games on it for a while.

None of the US carriers are carrying the device. I just want to know if we can use it on Verizon at all. It supports all of their radio bands.
Micro sim (n5) to Nano Sim (n6p)... cut to resize or order new Sim and transfer number?

I've read that even with the open source hardware driver binaries, the nexus devices still typically suffer from issues with custom ROM's like certain features not working. Is this true, and if so why?
I love this phone and I'm looking forward to getting a CM or custom CM based ROM with theme support to make the OS look cool. Personally I find plain Android to be ugly. Better functionally wise but ugly, so a CM based ROM on the Nexus 6P with Project Fi service seems like the best of all available worlds.

I watched the Nexus event live and also it has been confirmed on numerous sites, this will definitely work on Verizon's network, as long as you have a nano sim for Verizon.
I heard of issues with the Moto X where you had to call customer service with your phone info, but even if this phone has the same issues, bottom line is it will work.
Ok when they say "The camera has the largest pixel of any smart phone." Are they referring to the camera sensor itself? I've never heard of a camera component be referred to as a pixel
Either way, I can't wait to get my hands on the 240 fps goodness.

My sister's Moto G takes way too long to charge with it's original charger. Way over 5 hours even though the device is supposed to be a fastcharge one. If she uses a standard charger from her old phone, it takes about 2.5 hours which, I think is normal considering those chargers don't support fast charge.
Yeah I'm using a Samsung fast charger which is charging from 10% to full in 50mins

It feels too slow for me too. How do you know something is a good charger for this phone? You should look at voltages right?
Does this phone support wireless charging?

I haven't received mine yet but I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Built-in, no. You'll most likely be able to use a 3rd party microUSB-to-Qi wireless charger receivers that can be found on Amazon for ~$12. Since the G4 lineup has a removable back plate, you might even be able to stick it inside the phone (if it doesn't fit, can just use a case).
Thanks for the responses, much appreciated
I'm excited about mine. I ordered one for my GF and I. I have the Note 5 but they are so slow with updates and I live down here in Colombia so walking around with the Note 5 isn't always the smartest. Plus all I use my phone for is work email, hangouts, whatsapp and skype. I will be getting mine next week and if for some reason I don't like it I can easily sell it down here. I think they run about $250-300 here in Colombia
Should've done some reseach, motorola is also quite slow with updates from what I've heard.

Meaning? Model or phone. In my experience Motorola is as good as most on updates, certainly better than some companies like Samsung.

I've had motos before and they always released before Samsung. Half the time I have to flash third party to get the update before Samsung does the official release. Plus I don't need a $500 phone anymore. I can buy 4 of these Moto g from Amazon for the price I got the note 5 for.

My note 5 was about 4-5 behind in get MM. Looks like most Moto phones got the release in Feb which is only 2 months behind the actual release date

I've previously had Samsung, LG, Moto and Huawei and the Moto's were the best on updating. Samsung was probably the worst but that was probably because they don't push out updates directly and instead let the providers do it. LG and Huawei, seem to make every phone end of life as soon as they release it.
spotify issues?
i'm about to pull the trigger on this but have had issues on my current phone using spotify and an sd card.
can someone confirm that there are no issues saving offline music to an sd card?
Does anybody have "burn-in" problems on the screen? I know it's LCD but the icons on the notification bar burn-in extremely fast. The problem goes away 100% overnight, but what bothers me is how ridiculously fast the burn in occurs. Could my screen be defective?

Terrible gaming performance (Pokemon Go, Hearthstone)
I am experiencing terrible frame rates in the only two games I play on my device, Hearthstone and Pokemon Go. Review videos showed the phone playing 3D games with ease, yet I seem to be having trouble . Is anyone else having issues? I can barely navigate the menus of Pokemon the framerate is so bad.

I've only had mine a couple of days, but I haven't seen that so far.
One question. Does G4 have any restriction in Wifi tethering? The reason I asked is I got burned last time I got a Nexus 6P from Google and it does not allow Wifi tethering unless carrier's plan allows it.
Thanks,
Lyre

Would use a lot of internal space and increase the cost for the few people that would want it so doubtful.
I think the better option would to hope for (or maybe it's already supported?) dual eSIM support
pixel 4 or xl
I've been waiting to buy a decent phone for a year now. Earlier i had se neo v then z1 compact. I love smaller phone that can easily fit in my pocket and palm. With lots of people thrashing pixel 4 for battery, still i want to go for pixel 4 as there is no smaller phone available in market. What you would suggest pixel 4 or xl.

The battery is blown out of proportion. My pixel 4 lasts 24 hours and the size is perfect for my small hands

Hide battery icon?
I have an unlocked and rooted Pixel 4 still on the October update.
Is there anyway to hide the battery icon? It's easy to hide some of the other status bar icons but the battery icon has historically been tough to hide without xposed, and I don't think xposed is working properly on 9.0+. Man I miss gravitybox!
Is there a magisk module that can do this? Or some other app like systemUI tuner? I prefer battery bars of the icon, it saves status bar real estate.
:good:

You can turn it off in the system UI tuner which is accessible with root (I think root is required).

Tried it... doesn't work.
Props
Can someone send the whole pixel 4 props list?
I'm so confused with the Photos. The only pictures applications can see are the screenshots. What should be my settings so that, ie, Snapseed can read and use the pictures I have?
Help Rooting Pixel 4
Hi guys, I am new to this forum and also new to rooting.
I am planning to root my pixel 4 just to use motion sense option in Oman.
I went through some procedures and videos in youtube but still scared to do it because there is chance of bricking my phone, ryt?!
just want to clarify few things.
1. What if it doesn't root properly, Can i bring my phone back to factory setting? Unroot possible?
2. What are the disadvantages in rooting? Malwares and virus can get in easily? Is it possible to protect?
3. Is it possible to install apps from apptricks.co or appinject.cc or tutuapp (like premium apps for free)
I appreciate your help & comments on this
Thanks,
