New to moto z play - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hey everyone
I had purchased moto z pay about two weeks ago ,great experience but i have some questions about some issues with the handset just to make sure it's normal or what :
1- when making a phone call i hear some strong hissing(buzzing as some says)in total it's another sound besides the voice of the other guys on phone , not a very quit voice as i used to in any mobile , is that normal ? is it soothing related with my phone carrier service or 4G or 3G stuff?
2- when applying style shell- which are very awesome - i can found out that it could be moved a little if swipe it in left or right around camera lens something like little shaky or moving, not just stick to the handset and ever never moved unless you remove it , is that normal K i was told it is at seller but you guys have it so is it normal ?
last thing is just a question and not an issue
Motorola is giving full support and update to the mobile even if it was like 4 or 5 years later , in other word how long i will be get the latest android updates for life time of the handset or maybe 3 years and will get bored and it is out ?
that's everything i want to know till now , if i had any issues i will post it here
so thank you guys so much for your help and patience
many regards

Updates? Maybe 3 or 4 years. It's Z modell, so I think we should get updates very long. But I don't know.

1. I think it's your carrier problem. which carrier are you using?
2. If it's never removed unless you remove it, it's ok.
3. Not 3 years! It's a very long time period.
Device is currently running 7.0 and company representative confirmed that it will get 7.1.1 soon And according to sources It'll definetly receive Android 8 in 2017 only.
Cheers!

Are you sure that's android 7.1.1? Maybe it's 7.1.2

But I don't know. Nothing is sure. But you can later use custom roms very good on this phone, if there are really no updates anymore. But I don't know the update plans, just that we can expect all update to android O and all other we must be wait and see. But I think so because it's not a cheap phone. And because the Moto G4(much cheaper and older phone) get android O, too. So, Moto Z modells should, too. And security patches at least for 3 years. All other would not be nice from motorola.

Z is a Flagship series and every company tries to provide updates faster in their Flagship devices.
Also, Acc to sources Z Series will be the first to get Android O.

Nougat update for Motorola Droid Turbo 2 receives Bluetooth SIG certification

Looks like some good news may really be coming (Nougat)...
http://www.gsmarena.com/nougat_upda...es_bluetooth_sig_certification-news-22523.php
Looks like the Motorola Droid Turbo 2 will soon get Nougat as the Android 7.0 update for the handset (model number XT1585) has been certified by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).
Now we will finally get root! Hehe

wh
I've come to terms with the likelihood that this phone will never see root. And if it does, there will be little to no development for custom roms or other goodies. I am to the point where I think the glory days of rooting and having cool software hacks that actually improve the phones are behind us. Now my opinion could be, because my last three phones have been locked down on Verizon, and my Razr M once unlocked never had great builds. The builds it did have had issues due to bootloader changes and my lack of willingness to downgrade the bootloader once other changes were made. As I recall. Still excited to see Nougat coming at least.

Well since Verizon just got rid of 2 year contracts for everyone so no subsidized phones I won't buy another carrier phone. My wife has the pixel xl and loves it. I will be going Google not so much for the unlocked bootloader more for immediate updates. Screw carrier and manufacturer taking forever to update or decide not to update (Droid Maxx 5.1 I'm looking at you).

Yup. Every single phone I have had has been in the Droid Line (HTC Included). No more!! Not after this phone runs dry.

Delayed until May?

Since Lenovo bought moto it's just going downhill.
Top range phone for £500 and need to wait 6 months for update. This is a joke.

How does the Bluetooth SIG certification affect my phone?
I use Bluetooth with my truck and some earbuds...... I don't see where I would see extra functionality.
Does not affect your phone. It's just a way how info about update leaks. Every phone/update needs to pass certification before is released.

HTC lagging behind with Security Patches?

I have recently noticed that my HTC 10 is still stuck on the January 2017 security patch, despite the earlier eagerness of HTC to keep the 10 updated. And from what I was able to find on the internet, the US Unlocked version has at least reached the April patch. But five patches missed is pretty ridiculous.
How are the security patches coming along for the rest of you guys?
May 5th.
I'm on Lineage OS though. You give up Android Pay, but it's worth it for me.
I get the full Google experience. [Ik, should've buy the Pixel..don't worry...plan on doing it this year]

Mine is pretty snappy so far; DOESN'T compare with a Nexus/Pixel... But giving that is WIP, I have no doubt that in time the device tree will be optimised.
HTC says if there's no security patches means we don't need... (in a conversation with HTC France support)
I was like.... "WTF"???
Kinda disappointed. HTC 10 would be my last HTC phone, going for Pixel2.
I own both the HTC 10 and the Pixel. I regret buying the 10 for both my wife and I. Although I would prefer to have the Pixel XL and 128GB instead of 32GB, it was just too good a deal to pass up, and the up to date Android software runs the best stock experience I've ever had on any phone. There are still reasons I run custom ROMs and rooted, but there'll always be reasons.
I'm more disappointed that the HTC 10 doesn't have 7.1.2 yet, but you're right, it is ridiculous that it's not getting the monthly security patches. I do like the shape and feel of the 10 over the Pixel, but that's it. Mixed feelings about the fingerprint reader on the front versus the back - ideally there would be both.
I'm going to switch back to the 10 on a custom ROM soon only so that I can play around more freely with making my own ROM for the Pixel based on Google's factory image.

I'm on Orange Romania, but my phone is WWE. I bought it off contract. I'm not sure how this works, I'm pretty much a noob, but does my carrier still have a say on what updates I receive if my phone is a WWE version that wasn't bought from them?
And I'm pretty sure that it's a general problem. Only the US Unlocked version are up to date or close to it, the rest of the world is lagging behind.

Well, Android Pay doesn't work in Romania anyway.
And I don't know.. there are small problems like this that make me regret buying the HTC 10 a little, and I am a long time HTC fan.
But my choices were restricted from the start. I hugely dislike Samsung, so I never considered the S7, the Pixel was slightly too expensive, and the OnePlus 3 meant throwing my 128 GB sd card away. I actually wanted to buy the OnePlus 3T, but once again, the price in Romania was too much.
So I caught the 10 while it was on sale, and I bought it. But it will probably be my last HTC phone unless HTC starts doing stuff.
And I was thinking about installing a custom ROM, Lineage OS or Resurrection Remix. But I'm hesitating.

I totally agree, besides the build quality, and the hardware selection. HTC really blows on software...
Try the PureNexus MOD from Eliminator74, I'm running this for 3 days now :-?, And can't be happier.
You will have to flash a zip after flashing the rom, to change the sepolicy in order to work with your 128 SD Card.
Aand, the Video recording is not working.
But: The devs are amazing, and they put a whole lot of effort into this is project.
I have no doubt that these issues will be fixed soon
PS: Salut xD

It looks interesting. I can flash that to get the sd card working, and I don't use video recording anyway. I only took a quick look at it, but it doesn't have root by default, does it?
I'm mainly hesitating because of a thing I read online, it said that flashing ROM's on your phone could eventually damage it, like its battery. Did you ever have any problems because of flashing ROM's?
I still have a year of warranty left, so I the risk is bugging me a little.
Ah, acum am observat. Salut xD

I think it's nice due to the fact that is the "Vanilla" Android, which is what I prefer, but it has options to customise it as per your liking.
Ahmm, regarding the battery questions: I've always flashed or built roms for my devices. And yes; Some roms are poorly optimised and your battery may take a toll.
But when a rom's device tree and kernel are optimised; You shouldn't face any issues. Eliminator and tabp0le are working on this rom, and so far the battery is not WOW, but I'm sure with time, they'll nail down the correct parameters.
Use sunshine (it's$25) to S-OFF (Use LOCKED), and if ever: something happens to your device, you just run a RUU, a fastboot command, and your phone will be like new.
NOTE: I, nor the ROM developers I've mentioned above cannot be to blame if something does happen, and your phone cannot be recovered.
Hope it helps

Thanks. But that's the firmware for the USA unlocked version only. I have the European unlocked version, which is still on the January security patch, and that file doesn't work at all, right?
Cheers
Yeah, I don't think that the software for the US Unlocked version works on European unlocked.
I tried to change my 10's software to the US Unlocked back when they had the Nougat update, but no matter what you do, if you switch it and change the CID and stuff, you're left with the red warning text during boot. And the procedure to get rid of it is dangerous, complicated, and repetitive.
So unfortunately, we can't exactly do much about it but wait.
It's still on January Patch. That's just ridiculous. I'm not even talking about the Android version, that can be understandable. But lacking behind in monthly security patches is just unacceptable!
Apparently, we might finally get an update sometime these days.

Oreo update starts rolling out today!

Good news guys Looks like Google is giving us treats for the holiday season.
https://www.gsmarena.com/android_wear_devices_to_get_oreo_update_starting_today-news-28614.php
I'm guessing that every watch that is supported by AW2.0 will also be getting Oreo update. Yes, original Huawei watch is already beyond the 2 year support period but i don't think that the same rules goes for watches like it's usually the case with phones. Do you think original HW will be getting Oreo? I mean, we got new security update some days ago so it's still supported
I hope so,waiting for the update in a month.
In comments on articles about this, people have been reporting even the original Moto 360 is already getting this. I'm not sure the relationship between android version and android wear code but maybe it's pretty easy to merge the Oreo updates with the manufacturer's code now that they are on AW 2.0.

The original moto 360 never even made it to android wear 2.0, so I highly doubt it is getting this update.

The fact that we got a security update doesn't mean much. There were some pretty high profile vulnerabilities that needed patching (KRACK, etc.).

That sucks :/ I kinda knew this would happen eventhough i was optimistic and hopeful that Huawei Watch still gets it. So, it's finally the end of software support for our beloved original HW **** you, you ugly ass HW2!
Can someone explain this End Of Life situation though...? The Huawei Watch is STILL on sale via Huawei's direct website! Surely they shouldn't be selling a watch without providing the software support seriously!? I thought the deal was 2 years after the device goes on sale or 18 months after it stops being on sale (whichever is longer).
I think this statement needs to be reiterated to Huawei and Google.
Also I bought the watch thinking the support life would be alot longer than a phone... People don't buy +£200 watches for only 2 years usage.
This "policy" may have just made me decide that I'm not interested in Android Wear anymore... Even my Pixel 2 will have a longer shelf life!
EOL is not here yet, just no Oreo. This is near the bottom of the article.
Some of the watches dropped from support include the ASUS ZenWatch 2 and 3, the original Fossil Q Founder, the LG G Watch R/Urbane/Urbane LTE, the second-gen Moto 360 and 360 Sport, and the original Huawei Watch. Those watches will continue to get Android Wear updates (like the recent v2.6 update) through the Play Store, but the underlying Android version will be stuck on Nougat.

The only one for the HW1 is discontinued. The dev's watch died and Huawei gave him a watch 2. If another dev steps up, yes, but since there was only one and that dev does not plan to continue.
The thing is I only love the look of HV1 watch. Most stylish. There is no other V2 watch out there that comes close.
I have a Huawei Mate 10 running Oreo so it's a shame my watch won't match my phone.
Custom ROMs are our only hope now!

Well actually, just staying on wear 2 isn't a bad option, it still works wonderfully.
I agree. The more that Huawei Watch (1) is still officially on sale and is more expensive in stores than Huawei Watch 2.
I've made a post on their Swedish FB-site, here in Sweden it is still actively sold by two of Huawei's recommended resellers advertised at Huawei's site.
Can we figure out if the 18 months after sale claim is valid for Wear as well as regular Android? And was this formulated before or after the launch of the Watch?
I spoke to Huawei Technical Service. They do not have anywhere indicated that they provide support for 18 months from purchase / production. They claim that it depends on Google - not from them. They do not guarantee anything
It's a pity, because I have their P9 Plus smartphone and Watch 1 smartwatch and I think it makes the highest-class flagship.

Mi a2 lite where is Android 10 ?

The xiaomi mi a2 lite / mi a2 released in 2018 - and the AndroidOne phones will get Android update for tow years any know about Android 10? It's need to be released other Android one phones have the last Android one 10 update
Well... I don't think we gonna get it in December so maybe January. Meanwhile Huawei, Nokia, Samsung already started to roll out the Android 10 updates we have to wait. Seems like at xiaomi's miui is higher priority then Android one.

Employees in Xiaomi support suck a**. They don't know the slightest thing they're talking about. Last time I asked them when we were gonna get the Android 10 update they told me "very soon", "we're working on it" etc. All evasive responses. Some other dude asked Xiaomi support and they told him we'd get it two weeks after he asked which was about 1,5 months ago. So, don't trust Xiaomi support, they don't know what they're saying/doing. But I believe in January we'll get the update, a really crappy one. Just like how it was with Android Pie, full of bugs and missing features. LOL :laugh:

Or you know, support robots, canned messages that promises Android 10 etc., yet nothing happened, just to ignore lots of peoples' queries, but instead, meaningless blurbs by Xiaomeme. No surprises here.
Anyway, custom ROM scenes did better job at this than Xiaomeme. Glad I don't go wait with their 'bUg FiXeS aNd ImPrOvEmEnTs' updates.

Or you know, support robots, canned messages that promises Android 10 etc., yet nothing happened, just to ignore lots of peoples' queries, but instead, meaningless blurbs by Xiaomeme. No surprises here.

I agree that the Custom ROMs are very stable right now, but I can't trust them. That's the reason I'm still using stock ROM with locked BL in 2019 haha. I wish Xiaomi cared more for their Android One devices, but it seems they only wanted hop on another trend real quick and they are technically not giving a sh*t at all. When I first bought this phone, I expected all Android One devices to run the same OS, but somehow Nokia Android One devices get better, faster and more polished updates. I wish I had gotten the Nokia 7.1 when I had the chance. Shame.

Wise! Beware of open source.

[Q] Are there going to be anymore OTA updates?

Hi,
Like many of you, few weeks ago I received the Oxygen 10 update on my OnePlus 5T (received it OTA, didn't do it manaully).
Needless to say that this update is full of bugs.
What is most important to me is the call recording, which is worthless now.
BUT, I'm not here to complain, I think the OnePlus support/feedback forums are flooded enough with bugs of this version.
All I'm interested to know is whether OnePlus is working on fixes for the OnePlus 5T?
Does anyone know if they're going to release a fix update anytime soon?
Because if not- I might flash the previous stable 9.0.11 ROM, which will cause me to perform a factory reset, which I'm not thrilled about, so I don't want to do it for nothing.
When I asked this in OnePlus forums I was redirected to:
Oxygen 10 mega-thread, which is kind of pointless because it contains hunderds of pages of people complaining and no one answers
OnePlus Software Maintenance Schedule, also provides no answers
Oxygen FAQ, mentions expected release by mid-July, which obviously didn't happen
I know most people have no idea, but maybe someone have some inside information, will be great to share.
Thanks

This phone is outdated. It has been 3 years . What else do you expect ?
It will come when it comes . That's what's meant for outdated phones.
OnePlus only delivers software os update for 2 years and security patch upto 3 years.
There's no point in arguing about bugs or asking about update.
If you need bugless try custom roms , way better.
Or buy a new phone from another company. That's the only way .

I know it's been 3 years and they don't have to provide software updates, but OnePlus chose to give this update, the least they can do is provide an update without as many bugs.
I didn't ask for this update, I received it OTA, I would probably be just fine with Oxygen 9.0.11, which I might return to if they won't push some fixes anytime soon.
If they pushed this buggy update just to make people buy a new phone- thats a dirty move.
As for buying a new phone, I'm currently waiting for upcoming releases, so I'll keep using my 5T in the meantime, but these bugs are super annoying.. Like, why, why push the last update for 5T with so many bugs, seriously, minimal QA, really disappointing.

I'll disappoint you, RAM usage is "****ty" on ALL android devices, it's philosophy of Linux which serves as base for androids. "Free ram is wasted ram" that's it...
All is not the bug there

Actually, inoperational call recording on Android 10 is not a bug but a deliberate choice not to allow people record their calls, and IMO evil one, by Google.

Same.
It's not allowed in my country, but you can easily activate it using jOnePlus Tools.
It worked great until the last update. Now it's activated but all the recordings has weird voice like you said. Except when using headphones, then I hear myself well, but not the other side.

A10 now is a waste . .
Cos many people who sent their phone to repair with A10 , got it back with A9.
The official site still doesn't have A10 .
Means A10 isn't worth flashing.
