Coming from Xperia Z5 compact:

Gains:

-Bigger & Better Display

-Amazing battery life, miles ahead of z5 compact

-Love the design more than z5

-Better front camera

-Fingerprint is much faster

-Performance is surprisingly better than snapdragon 810

-No overheating

- Rear omnivision sensor is much better in low light compared to 23mp of z5c

- 3GB ram vs 2GB ram

Loss:

-IP68 rating (Probably the biggest loss I had), but really does not matter as I never submerged my z5. Splash resistance will do for me

-Stereo speakers on z5c compared to one on z play. However no difference in quality noticed

Overall Z Play is miles ahead of z5c, arguably comparable to the new Xperia XZ.

Coming from OG Droid Turbo

Gains:

- Battery Life

- Fingerprint Sensor

- Camera (not the best, but the Turbo was AWFUL)

- Actual volume buttons instead of a weird sim car slot/rocker

- Software support beyond MM (Hopefully....)

- Moto Mods are neat.... but too expensive for me to really consider at this point

Losses:

- Pocketability (this thing is HUGE)

- Moto Display doesn't work as quick as on Turbo

- Wireless Charging

- Semi-ruggedness (my turbo survived a heck of a beating without a case)

- Root (unfortunately I have the VZW branded one)

All in all I'm pretty pleased with the device. Was a bit of a change to get used to the huge screen, but other than that it's essentially the same experience as the Turbo. I personally love the addition of the fingerprint sensor. With the combination of that and Moto Display, I almost never have to hit the lock button. And it is so much quicker than any other phone I've tried. (Watch your iOS friends try to unlock their phones... it's like they constantly fight with the button)

And the battery life on this thing..... AWESOME. I never understood the need to have the highest res screen or fastest SoC at the sacrifice of battery life. Finally Motorola made a smart move.

nexus 6/6p to Z play

Coming from the Motorola Nexus 6 and the Huawei Nexus 6p over the last two or three weeks.

Losses

dual front firing speakers on both the 6 and 6p

Quad HD screens

bad batteries

slow cameras

Nougat 7.0

bad echo while on speakerphone with the 6p

non expandable storage

Gains

battery battery battery ( have gotten 9 and 10 + hours SOT)

Better fingerprint scanner than the 6p and the 6p was good

moto mod- Accidently won an ebay auction for the jbl speaker. Will be here soon. Decent price. Will listen in the car, probably louder than the aux out option. Battery might be nice if cheap enough, but don't even need it.

Camera has been great so far. Way faster than the previous phones (6 and 6p)

Stays cool during video calls and video watching. Not a gamer. 625 chip is awesome. Better than both the other phones.

smaller ,thinner and lighter than the 6 and 6p

Screen is awesome and looks just as good. Dont miss the the 2k screens at all.

SD card slot. (128gb card coming this week)

Sensors work great even in the dark, Better than the ambient display on the 6/6p

Keeping the headphone jack.

Came from Nexus 5x so

Gain: nuclear power battery

Missing: none
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] azeem.droid:
My Nexus 6 screen gave up on me and the repair cost was coming around $180. No sense spending that money, will wait for spare parts prices to drop.

Went to Verizon and I was getting a Moto Z play with the Christmas offer, $ 0 down and $0/month for 24 months. So technically I got this phone for free, if I stay with Verizon, which I don't mind.

Took my chances and boy am surprised with this phone.

I'll start with what I miss.

1. Amazing 6" display of my Nexus. That screen was huge and unreal. Don't get me wrong, Z play has a decent AMOLED screen but nexus feels much better in this department.

2. Plenty of custom roms to play around with, but honestly I haven't been very active flasher in past one year, just wasn't getting enough time. Life is different when you aren't in school anymore and actually have calls which you can't miss.

3. The dual front speakers, though lately i observed they were starting to sound a lil weak.

4. I miss the image stabilization, specially during video recording. Moto z play takes a lot of time to focus and end result is usually unsatisfactory.

5. Wi-Fi performance is not as good as nexus 6 as it lacks WiFi ac band. That occasional buffering could have been avoided.

6. I am so not used to waiting for the updates, always had a nexus right from my galaxy nexus days. I was already using Nougat on my Nexus 6, which was pretty good, specifically the multi window feature which I was using quite a lot. Nougat update is supposed to come in March for Z play. Not sure if I'll be patient and wait till then or flash a custom. For now I plan to keep it stock.

What I love moving onto Z play:

1. It would be criminal if I don't mention the stupendous battery life. Can't praise it enough, am a heavy user and not having to charge every few hours is such a boon. 6 to 9hrs screen on time no matter what you use. I am spoiled now.

2. Didn't have a fingerprint sensor in my 6, thought it was all gimmicky. Boy I was so wrong. Dead accurate sensor of Z play is so convenient, plus I love the fact that the screen locks on touching it again. Power button is practically useless now.

3. Not really an audiophile but this definitely has a better DAC, my wired earphones do sound much better.

4. I do not feel the need to root. Almost stock rom with moto gestures make it feel like home.

5. Performance is decent, comparable to Nexus, but I think Nexus had a little better RAM management. Apps reload occasionally. Not that much of a big deal but yea could have been better.

6. I like the front camera with the front facing flash. It's a pretty unique feature and it does help in those low light selfies.

7. I haven't had to restart my phone in the last 15 days I have been using . No force closes. Moto android optimization is tight and that's great. Hope the Nougat update is similar.

8. Again, battery life, can't be more satisfied.

Overall this has been a decent upgrade for me and I would recommend this phone to anyone who's primary criteria is battery and stock optimized software. Camera is not top notch but you get what you paid for.

Enjoy.

Coming from a Nexus 4

Gains:

- Speeeeeed

- Battery life is amazing

- Fingerprint sensor

- Way better camera

- Better display

- Lots of storage

Losses:

You can block a contact by editing and then select the option in menu. Other Android versions you don't have to edit first.

Mz play vs:

LG g4 which was a beautiful phone with a great Sony camera. Unfortunately the chips desolder themselves. I had 3 g4s. Moto hardware has always been solid.

Nexus 5x which is a great budget phone until the motherboard also goes bad. Way to go again LG! I like the rear fingerprint sensor.

Pixel XL is bigger than it needs to be. They just copied Apple including that it's super slippery. Total drop magnet without a case. Also expensive considering I got the mz play free. For the raving, the camera was OK. Not as good as the g4. The pixel also uses AOSP exchange services which totally suck.

OnePlus 3t just showed up at the doorstep and wow is that nice. Gorgeous and unlocked Bl. No Moto mods though lol. Love the z projector.

There a comparison to some recent phones.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
It's right there - check the all calls to voicemail box
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] larsdennert:
I created contacts called blocked 1 and just add numbers to it whenever I get spam calls. When that one fills up I make a new one called blocked 2. I have about five of them with at least 50 numbers. If I get a new phone, those contacts sync and I just have to search for blocked and tell the phone to send them to voicemail. Works really well.

If you need to stop SMS, you can mute their conversation. Not sure if all SMS apps have that. I use Verizon message plus as it restores SMS when you switch phones.

There are third party apps that do this to, like sync.Me
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] alasgalux:
Coming from LG Nexus 5, these are the things I miss the most:

Missing things:

1. Weight: the Nexus 5 was a lot lighter than the Z Play

2. Faster updates: Moto is not very fast with updates, unlike updating directly from Google.

Gains:

1. Battery Life: There isn't even a discussion here. 3500mah over 2100mah? I'm sold.

2. Camera Quality: A lot better than the Nexus 5, that's for sure.

3. Fingerprint sensor: A needed extra-layer of protection on our devices for the guy who's also an enthusiastic of information security. Also doing payments with your fingerprint is a lot easier.

4. Moto mods compatibility: I'm really digging it, have 2 Style mods and can switch at will. The Incipio mod is excellent too, adding a lot more battery than needed (this phone is a beast on battery department lol)

5. AMOLED screen: I love AMOLED, so that's a plus. Also, it interacts very well with Moto Actions.

6. Speaker: a lot louder than the N5.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] fortunz:
Coming from Nexus 6

Missing:

* active development, custom kernels, well developed rooting, recovery, toolkits etc. KCAL color control. Edit: Since writing this post in Jan, helpful tutorials were written, development grew, and the generous [MENTION=4539224]tomparr[/MENTION] even added kcal color control to his f2fs-fixed kernel. Of course development still doesn't compare to a Nexus, but that's a pretty high bar to clear. But things have certainly improved quickly.

A wash:

* down to one speaker, but man, this sounds fantastic.

* loss of 100ppi, but even while reading, I don't miss it

* step down from s8xx to s6xx, but performance is very smooth.

Gains:

* fingerprint sensor, already used to using it to power on and off.

* haven't gotten to really pace the battery yet, but I've read the threads and I believe.

* Size, lost ~.5", but shamu was too broad anyway. Love the less wide feel.

* replaceable batteries... well, not the internal one, but thanks to motomods there's an alternative method
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] rondias18:
Came from the OnePlus 2 to the Moto Z Play.

Received a 50% discount in exchange for my 1.5yr old used OPT so all in all a pretty sweet deal.

Missing:

1) The snappy CPU, GPU and 4GB RAM.

2) Higher pixels in the front facing cam.

3) Was a bit more compact.

Gains:

1) Much much much better battery life.

2)Fast charging compared to the standard 5v/2A.

3)Expandable storage.

4)Front facing flash.

5)More pixels on the rear camera.

6) AMOLED Display (A must).

7) NFC.

There were a few similar features too.

1) OPT has swappable StyleSwa covers to change the back, which u get via the StyleMods.

2) USB type-C which means all my cables are still relevant since ditching micro USB completely.

3) Same 5.5 inch display size and resolution.

4) Both ran optimised versions of Stock Android. Although the MZP has official Nougat now.

All in all for the deal I got I'm happy I went for it as I can use for a year more atleast as a daily driver then maybe invest in a better flagship and still have this as a very capable secondary phone.

Hi,

I tried to unlock bootloader. Rooted phone using King Root successfully. Opened bootloader using inside terminal and installing proper aboot. Then without restart i also flashed proper TWRP usning Twrp manager and after clicking reboot bang... black screen and nothing happens. Phone wont act on power button , keys combinations etc. When i connect it using usb i see partition with 2 folders (version and images). I tried some methods like using LG Flash Tool 2014 but it stucks on 4% and wont go ahead no matter what i do (recconecting ,removing battery etc). I would be VERY thankful if someone can provide me step by step solution or just do it via Teamviewer. If someone would like to help using TV method please contact me via skype (siuted.max - ID) and i ll provide TV ID.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkEzz:
Hello everyone !

I do not know if I post this in the wrong forum but whatever.

I try for a few days now to carry the stock Elephone P7000 rom to my Mlais M52.

Both are under android 5.0 and use the same processor.

So I recovered an android 5.0 ROM on needrom to install with SP Flash Tool.

I installed it with no problem and the phone also started without problems.

Only I have a problem to bring the pilots of my stock rom to my port rom.

Everything works fine except the speaker and the internal storage that shows me 0.00B.

By searching the internet, I copy the files and pk vold my stock rom to the new, I also decompiled framework-res.apk and I replaced the the stock rom to the port the file storage_list.xml, I reboot but it still does not work: the internal storage is still 0,00B while the SD card running correctly.

The other thing is the speaker: the headphone jack works but the speaker it does not work. Still looking on the internet, I replaced this file:

*\ System \ lib \ hw \ libaudio.primary.default.so

and

\ System \ lib64 \ hw \ libaudio.primary.default.so

then I restart but the headphone jack was not working and when I looked in the engineering menu under the heading Audio, a message appears saying "The structure size is error".

Someone in there have a solution ?

Thank you in advance

[LG G Flex 2] X1ras:
I'm sorry to tell you Tim, they are lying to you.

I've been with O2 for about 8 years and I've never had any notification from THEM to say that my phone can be updated.

O2 have no control over firmware updates on the devices they sell.

It's a good and a bad thing.

It's good because they don't preload the phones with dozens of their own apps, you get the devices how the manufacturer intended.

It's bad because they're absolutely useless when you have a problem and they lie to you about the level of control they have over your devices.

Unlock your bootloader unofficially. It's a lot quicker. Plus, there's more chances of locking your bootloader again after flashing a custom ROM. don't find it necessary for permission to something that might get locked again.
