IMPORTANT NOTES:

  1. Below information is applicable only for "RETAIL" i.e unlocked or carrier-free models of Moto G phones.

These models are eligible for unofficial Android Pie & Oreo software in the forms of custom ROMs.
  2. Below information is not applicable carrier-locked or Amazon exclusive models. You may or may not get any Android version updates or security updates, since the final software build is made, tested & released by the carrier/Amazon & not by Motorola. These models are not eligible for unofficial Android Pie & Oreo software in the forms of custom ROMs.

SOFTWARE UPDATE INFO:

  1. Moto G Series get Android Version updates up to 1 year from launch date.
  2. Moto G Series get Android Security Patch updates up to 2 years from launch date.
  3. Only Moto G6 Plus has a 64-bit (kernel) OS, rest of the phones have and will remain on 32-bit OS till the end of support.
  4. It is generally observed that Brazil and Latin America are the first regions to receive software OTA updates followed by India, Asia, Europe, United States, Canada.
  5. Software OTA Updates are released in batches i.e. "phased roll out" to gather feedback for critical bugs and to minimize the bugs so all users are not affected at once.
  6. It is recommended to factory reset whenever there is a major Android version update. It is not compulsory, but it ensures that you start from a clean slate and minimize the bugs that might arise due to updating. Make sure you backup everything from the phone as a factory reset will wipe everything.

Discussion Is it normal for the back cover of the Moto G86 5G to flex slightly when pressed?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I have a Moto G86 5G, and I've noticed something about its back cover that I'm wondering if other owners have experienced.

When I press the back cover very gently, I can feel a very subtle movement, almost as if there's a tiny gap between the back cover and the internal components. It feels somewhat like pressing a button, but there's no click or popping sound, and the movement is barely visible.

The cover doesn't appear to be loose, and I'm not noticing any obvious separation.

Is this normal for the Moto G86 5G, or could it indicate a manufacturing or assembly issue? Are the internal components supposed to have a small gap between them and the back cover?

I'd appreciate hearing from other Moto G86 owners, especially if you've noticed the same thing on your phones.

Other I want to re-lock bootloader without brick !!

1 Upvotes

Hi. So I have a Moto G45 right now on a custom ROM with an unlocked bootloader. I'm planning to get a new phone, and I want to give away this one to my mom, but her primary need is to use all her banking apps with no issues, even those for EMI and loan services such as Snapmint. Therefore, I'll have to revert back to the stock Android firmware and lock the bootloader again. However, I am quite concerned about the risk of bricking my device in the process, as I have read that it can happen if not done correctly. Can you please advise me on the proper steps to take and whether or not I am likely to brick my device during the transition?

Oh my. Explosion, fire. Told text only to Co. Told to respond to their e mail with photos. I get "Our E mail channel is no longer available to contact Motorola support".. So I snail mail in photos and texts. Then told I must send this device through the mail to get any claim..from same No Reply E mail. The post office law says NO mailing damaged batteries. The thing could still be hot inside. Carpet burned, house smoke. What the crap does one do?

Other Is your battery draining on new moto edge fusion within 24 hrs normal?

2 Upvotes

So that's basically it,as the title suggest. I just brought the motorola edge 70 fusion for the bbd. The main reason was the battery for me. Bc I'm on my phone a lot for studies and other purposes. I read that the battery last for about 2 days, but it doesn't for me. Idk if that claim was for someone who is on their phones way less. But I have about 10 hr screentime. I charge the phone upto 80% like suggested and within 24 hrs the battery is down to 14% and I want to know if it's normal or if I should contact someone. This issue is mainly bc my previous phone(poco M2 PRO) did last more than 24 hours at the beginning and it only had 5000mah. Im not really tech savvy and any information would help bc I'm really lost

Other Found a Motorola moto g play 2024 - How to find the owner?

6 Upvotes

I found a Motorola moto g play 2024. The phone is locked and there's no user data. I saw how to reset it but there is the FRP issue.

This anti-theft feature cannot be bypassed through standard resets, so the phone can only be successfully reused if the previous owner's account details are known.

Is there anyway around this so I don't just throw it in the trash? A way to contact the owner? A service?

3rd Gen Moto G75 does not have certification

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I need some help with my Motorola Moto G75 5G.

My phone shows that it is not Play Protect certified, and because of this, I am having problems with Google Wallet. When I try to set up contactless payments, Google Wallet tells me that I need to factory reset my device. However, I don't want to erase all my personal data without knowing whether this will actually fix the problem.

I bought this phone online through Mercado Libre, which is a very popular online marketplace in Latin America, especially in Mexico. The phone came with its original factory software, and as far as I know, the bootloader is locked. I have not intentionally installed a custom ROM or rooted the device.

I have also checked for system updates, but my phone says that there are no updates available. I find it strange that a phone running its original software would have this certification issue.

I bought a replacement stylus for my Moto G Stylus 5G 2024.

The stylus will make the phone vibrate when I put the stylus in the silo. It sometimes works on the screen. It's like the switch isn't being touched. What can I do? Any suggestions or perhaps another stylus would be great. Thank you.
