Moto assist - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

My previous phones, Moto x and Moto x 2014 had Moto assist where my phone would automatically go on silent when I entered my work places. I am unable to find the same settings on my Moto z play Droid. I am also not able to wake up my phone from a locked screen using OK Google as I could from the Moto x phones. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Moto assist was dropped when Lenovo took over. Im the moto app, you can do some of the functions but a lot has been left out.
The "Ok, moto" does not work when the screen is locked

If I can help out here I encountered some issues as well. It's because Google and Moto voice conflict with one another. So you basically have to pick one or the other. Depending on which you choose both "OK Moto" or "OK Google" work when the screen is off.

As for your phone going on silent at work and so on this can easily be configured under settings>sound & notifications>Do not disturb

[Q] sms font size problem

something i just noticed
i set the font size to small, and it seems to stay that way, until i receive a sms
at that stage when i go into it, it actually is back to "medium"
i can change it back, but then it seems to reset itself back to medium each time i get an incoming sms
can anyone tell me they have similar issues?
Yep. Been a bug in the stock ROM since release. Sometimes my settings stick for a day or so, then it reverts back to medium.
Something I've also noticed, you can pinch to control the zoom levels, and it is possible to get one size smaller than the 'Small' setting, but not always, and it also doesn't stick.
Hopping in and out of the SMS app seems ok, but if I force stop it, the text has reverted back to medium when I open it again.
you can pinch and zoom text in sms
yupp,still got it even with the new update 1.29.707.11 LOL

Have GPS directions replace watch face while navigating

It is frustrating to have to constantly tilt to wake, then swipe up to see the navigation directions. I mean, if I wake my phone while navigating, it shows me the directions instead of the usual lock screen. Why not the watch as well?
Not sure if this helps, but when I touch the Google Maps icon on my 360, I get a card that says "Support for Maps coming soon." So, maybe there will be some nice changes in how Maps works with the watch?

Also, perhaps the 5.1.1 update will have more options for a feature of an app to stay on, like directions in Maps.

If you received the 5.1.1 update for the 360, you should now have more options with Google Maps on the 360.

Touch input temporarially stops working until after phone goes to sleep

Sprint LG G3, the 990 version. Stock ui.
So yesterday this all started. The touch sensor suddenly stopped registering inputs. From my testing on it (this problem has happened dozens of times since yesterday afternoon) eventually after a few minutes of use the input will just stop working, but the phone functions still work. Videos and games continue to play, phone and video calls still keep running properly, and the home screen clock will keep running while the touch input is disabled. I can volume up and down, but cannot interact with the screen. The power button will not put the screen to sleep.
Eventually the screen will timeout, now I can interact with it again. I hit the power button like normal, and get a vibration, then the screen turns on and I get the dialog box to turn off or restart the phone over my lock screen, as if I long-pressed the power button. I can click away from this and start using the phone again like normal.
But it will happen again. I can get a few minutes of use usually before the touch input disables itself again.
I didn't download anything recently. I did disable notifications for my LINE app yesterday through the app drawer, but after this started I reverted that, just to be sure. Some apps might have auto updated, but this is happening in any app I use.
I have looked around lots of places, but can't find anyone else saying they have this particular problem. Any idea what is going on and how I can troubleshoot this short of trying a factory reset?

Hey, thanks for the reply. So I did what you said. I ended up doing a factory restore of my device.
I have had this phone since about a month after it was released two years ago. I rooted way back then, did not install any rom over it yet... and then a few weeks later my kid went and clicked through a software update one day and removed my root, so I just left it go.
Anyway, I did the full factory reset, and started setting my phone up again, and a couple times the problem resurfaced. No apps from the store yet installed, the phone just stopped responding to any touch inputs. I wait for it to go to sleep, and then wake it up to use it again.
This sucks, I guess this is forcing me to upgrade when the G5 releases. But any ideas still? I dread being stuck with the phone being buggy like this for another two months or so. It's not app related, it doesn't SEEM to be hardware based, since everything works perfect up until it just locks up. The problem happens with different batteries I use. There doesn't appear to be any physical damage to the phone at all.

Does anybody know how to disassembly the Blade V8 pro? My phone is dead.

Hello.
A couple of days ago when I turned on my phone screen, and a message saying "power off" appeared, and the phone turned off. After that I proceeded to turn on the phone again, and it loaded the OS normally, and then again, the same message appeared and the phone turned off again, and phone never turned on again. By the time that happened the phone had a charge of 92% approximately. I don't know what it could have been, but I'm guessing it is battery-related, so that's why I'm asking if any of you know how to disassembly this phone or at least get to the battery, as I'd like to see if maybe the battery attachment thing got loose or something like that. If anyone knows what could have happened, let me know please.
Nope but why salvage it? Prolly better to sell on ebay as "for parts" at this point.
I can tell you that's just one of the issues our phone Blade V8 pro has. but if you start the rooting process it gets better. What I mean is im about as far as I can be with rooting my phone, without actually completing the task. I don't have a laptop or access to one. So that's the hold up for me. Although I do have everything I need to complete the task already. My List: #1. 7.0 Nugat Update Zip inside my SD Card #2. I have a entire Super User Management products assortment.. Also have apps downloaded that Impose the 7.0 and the 8.1 Updates, so my phone already runs as though I have the updates. But it still shows 6.1 in the Info page.

I have this if you can get a file manager to write it on your build properties persist.sys.debug.multi_window=true
just copy and paste it at the very bottom of the document.. I just tried to add screen shots as attachments but wouldn't load them so Ill list the products I use below..
/!\ kShark /!\ has a "Excellent" line of SuperUser products! just search Google Play Store kShark
both FREE and PAID work extreemly well and the Developer answers emails so support is Good.
Also for the most responcive file manager Although Ill Never give up on ES pro.. Maple has File Manager Pro (paid total of 5.99) its Red folder and after u upgrade it has the pirate android on the side also asked if I wanted classic edition gray.. but its the only one I found that will write system files without having root permition, although I never did the root checker and I don't advise you to start that process on any application unless they do it for you. Instantly locks you out of any possible advantage
I noticed a larger than normal defect rate. My phone has a bad fingerprint sensor, and my wife's has a bad mic. My phone broke (i dont like cases) and I tore down the device to swap the mic. Now she can make calls while not on speakerphone. The teardown is not too bad. you start with the back cover. i used a razor blade to get between it and the metal, afterwards i used a guitar pick to pry the rest of it open. it has clips and weak glue. The rest is all screws. so it is pretty straightforward.

[Solved] Robin isn't using smart storage

I bought a Robin a week ago and since I have it, cloud used space is 0b, I've activated everything and still not working.
However, at the night, when I put my Robin to charge, the back four LEDs begins to blink as if the phone was making the backup.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Edit: Razer fixed the issue, now is working perfectly

O, it says on their website they stopped the support and services on August 1st
I don't think that is the reason, plus, software support ends in February 2018
Even though the software support ends (which mainly is the device's firmware support) I think the cloud storage has been slowly shut down.
Within few weeks of announcement of the end of Robin they had shut down the cloud storage web interface login , so no surprise that the cloud storage is gone too.
But still don't think so, in Razer forums, they said they will look into that problem, and even they are thinking of updating the device to Oreo, I hope this is an error
Smart storage has been fixed, is working right now!
