[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] instigate666:
Hi everyone,

I am looking to buy a new phone here in India and I am looking for a phone which will last me atleast 18-20 months from say January, 2017. I loved the battery stats of Moto Z PLay and since I dont game much on the phone apart from normal games and a Dead Trigger here and there, my priority is will the Snapdragon 625 processor be able to handle the upcoming apps and will its battery stay the same (approx) after 2 years or so.

I am a moderate user with social media, whats app and a bit of high net usage on wi-fi. Should I go for this or spend sme bucks more and buy OP3 or OP3T?

Thanks in advance!!! :)

:good: :good:
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
I was having the same debate - moto z play vs OP3T. I don't game at all, so the battery life + expandable storage trumps the top end performance and slightly better camera for me. Don't have it yet, but ordered a Z play yesterday. I'm seeing some pretty impressive battery numbers reported on the OP3T as well, so it's no slouch - solid for one day of heavy use

Dev support seems to be at about the same level on both devices at the moment, though if I had to guess, the OP3T will probably win out there in the end - only because in my experience most devs tend to purchase devices with higher end specs.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] RealiZms:
I've never been a big gamer but in normal everyday use the Z play is faster and smoother than my past few nexus phones. After using the phone for a few weeks the last thing I'm worried about is performance. Dropping it before I get a case is my biggest concern. Get a case or a bumper for this one
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Bimmerpro:
I would say go for the Z Play. I have had mine for over a month and it has truly impressed me. I have thought about exchanging for the regular Z but it's insane battery is not worth the extra performance I won't notice. The thing that impressed me most was even though I use it for intense games I have never noticed it struggle. It's mainly because the Z is such a well optimized phone. I think you will be very happy with your purchase.

Best regards

first things I do after buying new phone is case and screen protector. My current Xperia Z2 fell screen down, flat from a height of 4 and half feet and my heart stopped. Picked it up, nothing happened thanks to glass screen protector.

Anyways, the dual sim and sd card option is very attractive and though I wont even fill up the 64GB in OP3T, the spare parts avaialbility and after sale support of OP is dreadful. Till now, the lord of smartphones has been kind enough to keep me away from repair centers, but if it happens on OP, i will keep the phone (if I buy it) as a memento of the stupid decision to buy the damn phone.!!

[MENTION=3214812]RealiZms[/MENTION]... thanks a lot for the reply and help..
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] instigate666:
If it gives me even 3/4th the battery life and performance after 20 months times (talking abt the Z Play), I will be very happy. I was looking to buy the Moto G4 Plus, but the heating and ghost touch issues put me off. Will be going to check the handset out in a couple of days and will order it during the Christmas/New Year sale on Amazon or Flipkart (Local Indian e-commerce site).

The only thing keeping me from splurging on OP3/3T is the horror stories of after sales service. The lack of spare parts and other things have kept me away from buying even the OP2. Hope my choice of Z Play doesnt dissapoint me.

thanks for your reply and help, mate. :good: :good:

Good day bros.

I was asking the exact same question for the past week. Got rid of my Mi 5 due to its inability to make the NFC transit card work. Non-gamer mostly social media, surfing on my phone use. Was tempted by the great 'bang for the buck' offered by 3T, but I got the Z play in the end because, among other things, the one and only oneplus service centre in my country has closed down.

Not regretting it. No need to root, etc, everything NFC transport sim, fingerprint login with bank apps, Android Pay, it all just works. No hardcore gaming but regular apps work. No annoying china brand UI to deal with.

Oh and the battery life. Insane. I didn't even bring my USB-C wire to the office :)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] catpunt:
Tried the Moto G Plus and returned it due to inadequate performance and ghost touch. Tried the Pixel XL but returned it because overpriced and not perfect. Tried the Moto Z Play and love it. Surprisingly haven't noticed any performance issues aside from the mediocre camera. The UI is very snappy. However the battery will change your life.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] abhilash_s_j:
I got indian version of z play and let me tell ya, i play in it like a desktop (hardcore) and it gives me 8-9 hour battery. I download 80+GB from wifi each month. Its been 2 month i guess. I think Moto Z Play is the best smartphone within 30000₹ including future considerations.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] iBolski:
I'm coming from an LG G3. Loved that phone, but tonight, it just died right in the middle of my using it. It's two years old and JUST went off contract. Took the latest update a few weeks ago and then my SD Card slot started acting flaky. So, I'm thinking this is all part of hardware failure and maybe the SD slot not working was the first sign.

Gaming wise, the G3 was awesome. I play games like Walking Dead No Man's Land, Game of War, Clash of Clans, and I do have games purchases like the GTA games. Does anyone have any idea how well this phone would work with those games? I can get this from VZW for $17/month which is cheaper than what my G3 was on the old contract ($40/month). Of course, after this month, my bill WOULD have dropped $20/month when the phone went off contract. Makes me wonder if VZW did this? lol

In any case, I've read reviews and even though the camera is 16mp as opposed to the 13mp I had on the G3, it sounds like the camera is the typical old Moto camera that ISN'T the best. But, I'm not a proffesional photographer. if it's good for just taking normal family pictures, etc, that's all I care.

Battery life is the big thing. I could get the G3 to last over a day with normal talk and text. But I also game, so I suck the life out the battery pretty quickly.

Any help you can provide if this would be a good replacement will be much appreciated. I've been with XDA for over 5 years ever since I got my first Android phone.

Thanks and I might be joining the family here if I do get this phone.

UPDATE: Starting today, VZW is having the Moto Z, Samsung Galaxy S7 and Google Pixel for $10/month with NO trade-in. So it looks like I'll be getting one of those. Just found out today while looking on their website.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] instigate666:
I actually dont use the camera much apart from clicking pics at family functions or outings. I dnt think I have even taken a selfie. the camera on Xperia Z2 was great, not only in terms of specs (21 mp and all), but the pics came out great. but if Moto Z Play's camera does what I have read, its adequate for me. If needed will buy a second hand DSLR.

;)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] instigate666:
if it performs the way you said, I might have made a good decision in ordering Moto Z PLay from Flipkart. Only mistake I made was ordering the white one, when I wanted a black one. Well, same thing!! :P
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] instigate666:
Hi everyone who helped me in making this decision. I have ordered a Moto Z PLay (white....by mistake :P) from Flipkart (indian e-commerce site).

I exchanged it for my old Xperia Z2 and got it for 15k INR or around 230 USD along with all discounts with credit cards and everything. will be delivered on boxing day and thankfully will be able to update on it in next few weeks.

Ciao!!

Apparently Flipkart is selling bad phones
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] instigate666:
Bad phones, can you elaborate please?

If you are talking about OnePlus 3 fiasco, its their own doing, trying to get noticed by any means necessary.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] abhilash_s_j:
Few Moto z play brought from it are missing its nano coating, had scratches, defective parts etc etc. That's why I brought from Amazon. Even review on z play in Flipkart is bad.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] shantusingh:
i am shocked many people say it doesn't support wireless display/mirroring/miracast . Is it true ?! And is it a good buy after htc one m8 gold (with the jbl mod) in performance/multitasking ?!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] parusia:
I got an LG 65" smart TV, a 55" Samsung smart TV and 52" Vizio Smart TV, MirrorLink to smart TV is not working with any of them. However you can use an application named AllCast from play store (it's a paid application, the free one gives you only 5 minutes of transmission time for free), with that application you will be able to mirror videos, pictures, power points, etc to the smart TV. You can't mirror the entire content from your phone to the smart TV, but that is good enough for me.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] instigate666:
Okay...

But the phone has 4.0/5 on Amazon and 4.4/5 on Flipkart. But I got a great deal on it on so bought it. Anyways I have had good experiences with both e-commerce sites.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] instigate666:
It doesnt support Miracast. as far as performance goes, most have given it rave reviews except the average camera. Never used HTC phones due to their pathetic batteries, so cannot comment on that. However as advised, you can use the allcast app and pay for it, if you are going to use it for mirroring on a smart TV regularly.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] turkobr:
You can make miracast work if you root your phone. Just posted a how-to on the miracast thread.

Im trying to call "callRecordClicked" from class "com.android.incallui.CallButtonPresenter" class link

My module code:

Class<?> mClassCallButtonPresenter = XposedHelpers.findClass("com.android.incallui.CallButtonPresenter", classLoader);
XposedHelpers.callMethod(mClassCallButtonPresenter, "callRecordClicked", true);

Gives this error:

So, how can i properly call "callRecordClicked" method in "com.android.incallui.CallButtonPresenter" class??

Thanks

Maybe try gsam battery monitor.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dancrow:
Found no option for showing deep sleep percent in GSamBattery Monitor
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
It show when the phone is awake and when it's not and what consuming the battery.

So it has the deep sleep info you need.

I'm not going to install to try it :) but i remember it has it.
