Thanks for that info. I'll be sure to test for heat problems when I receive mines. Now I fear that I may have two problems when it comes to gaming, suttering and heat LOL.

I haven't had any heat problems with my current Z5 though. The only time was when recording in 4K during a heat wave (around 95F).
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Rtester:
Meh the play store is still full of *****y games that weren't even optimised for the adreno 530, the phone has no fault, the 530 destroys not only the competition(in the same category), but especially older mobile GPUs, ask the dev to use his fingers to make a proper app, the XZ has no fault.

I play EA sport - UFC game (i think this is a first-classe game for smartphone, close to PS3 games graphic and textures!!!)

i see lag when conect charger and play this game... this is normal for any phone when actived soc thermal controll (I have galaxy S6 before XZ too!)

any phone have good performance in gaming is "iPhone" but i am ok with freedom in android platform ;)

i test some apps i don't if it s the case or not but most games are developed by unity3d!

they are fine on other phones! on xperia this is the similar issue between games that slowing down
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] xerxess:
sometimes im playing game in my xz but i dont have really issue in heating or laggy (my phone have nougat version)

maybe your issue because you are in MM, lets try to nougat.

or use custome rom.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] shilent:
I received my XZ (F8331) a few days ago. I don't seem to be experiencing any heat issues when it comes to gaming. Also the stuttering I mentioned for Xperia devices is now almost gone. It's still there, but it's so little that it doesn't bother me anymore.

I've only played 3 games so far:

Skyforce Reloaded

Riptide GP Renegade

Asphalt Extreme

Running the Stability Test app from the Play store, the XZ does throttle down much much sooner than my Z5 (the Z5's heatpipes seems to work really well), but that app puts all CPU cores on full load.

I'm curious about this game Galvatronvs you're playing. I'd like to see if it runs the same on my XZ. Could you point me in the right direction to download this game?

Okey i test with "game benchmark"

And no difference between S6 and XZ in game frame rate...

Asphalt8: get 30fps in both devices.

Zombi Highway 2: get 60fps in both devices.

From that test you find:

1) some games locked in lower frame rate, or bad optimized. (asphalt lock on 30fps, zombi highway lock on 60fps)

2) android use "vsync" lock the hardware for limitted fps. Adreno 530 is more powerful then mali T760 (and T880 too!). but there are some software limitations.

3) limited adreno 530 result: gpu not need all his power for reach to 60fps. In my Xperia XZ gpu never reach to 60% load, because not need more load for recive to 60fps.

4) from number#3: none overheating feel when compared with my galaxy s6! s6 need more gpu load for reach to 60fps and gpu core loading heat up the device.

5) unlock software limitations needs custom kernels, and risk of overheating and hardware damage! You don't need more than 60fps for mobile gaming.

6) bad news: Snapdragon 808 can reach to 60fps easily. You can only see "hardware war" between companies. When older SoC can do perfect the end-user works!

Have you tried to format the partitions (from ext4 to ext4) before attempting to flash a rom and gapps? But careful with data as you might delete your internal storage too, so backup important stuff!

[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] __Miguel_:
Alcatel was never known for its software support.

And on this case, it doesn't surprise me a tiny bit, since the 4S is a rebrand of the TCL950, coming all the way from a Chinese manufacturer, which as we all know are more interested in pumping out more new devices, and not support existing ones :/

[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] xotz:
Hello , i think alcatel had its top performance with the idol 3 5.5 , the idol 4s , was a add features model, the idol 5s is just a stabilization of the company on its category(low end , medium end devices) . Alcatel was never a top brand , we cannot expect that from alcatel , but ,again , idol 3 5.5 still got updates , and thats amazing for a 2 year phone.

Regards
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] macallik:
Idol 3 definitely had the most bang for your buck but you can't really make an argument that it is overall a better performer/phone than the Idol 4S.

I had the 3 (and now the 4S) but it doesn't look promising for the Idol 5 if they didn't announce it at MWC. My next phone likely won't be an Alcatel device but I enjoyed the Idol 3 and hope that the 4S eventually gets Android 7.0

Oh I misunderstood. I agree with you as well now. There was an excitement around the Idol 3 and the community because everyone could clearly see what a great value it was.

The phone is in bootlop. I can't find signed MM images. The bootloader is locked. Any suggestions????
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] arides:
Is your phone rooted? Because the same thing happened to me, but with the Nougat OTA update, not the ADB. I tried to unroot, but It kept failing, until I flashed from scratch the Marshmallow (with ADB).

Then I went through the OTA update again and it worked!

Maybe if you install the MM again, the Nougat may work =)

if its modified flash this by fastboot method

check which ur device is and download latest stock firmware... everything will be just fine..

if it fails do report us we all are here to help you

edit: ur bootloader is locked... ur in trouble my son....

unlock it then flash firmware files...it should work out
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
You are aware that unlocking erases all data and voids warranty?

Without unlocking you may try starting with

fastboot oem lock start

ending with

fastboot oem lock

(Only from memory, don't know what needs to be integrated, should do no harm if it fails, just refuse changes - but have no experience with this)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Sagar_1401:
he anyways need to loose all his data... he has messed up already.. what could he do now?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
Maybe the data is lost, but the warranty isn't. At least by now.

Edit: I mean, it may be that the action makes sense. But it is not your decision and you should mention the drawbacks. He may not be aware that the data is lost, and there may be actions avoiding the data loss (may be needed to wait weeks or months to get the right nougat firmware). He may not be aware that warranty will be void, and it may also be an option to use the warranty and give it Lenovo. It is not your decision. Giving hints is fine, but always tell the negative part/alternative ways. You do suggestions, not a guide. The user has to decide himself, otherwise he has some right to get angry if something does not work fine.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] heisert:
Just my 2 cents: He needs a open bootloader to downgrade. If not, he have to wait for an full Android 7 Firmware File what is newer or exact Version of the flashed bootloader; what he flashed already i think. The big Question is: why the update stops. Where do you get the file?

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] zaver:
I cannot unlock bootloader, you need to modify a setting when the phone is running in developer options.

I don't care about the data and I already have the bootloader unlock key. I need to get official signed firmware files so I can flash MM from fastboot. At least that is what I think.

I assume this is because the update flashed newer firmware than what has been released by Motorola...

Attempting to sideload the .zip results in:

E: footer is wrong
EL signature verification failed
Installation aborted

So I'm left with the following choices:

1. Send the device back to Motorola for repair - won't have a phone in the meanwhile

2. Wait for Motorola to get a move on with releasing their firmware - phone unusable in the meanwhile

3. Unlock bootloader, void warranty, install LineageOS or similar, no camera until Motorola release the firmware blobs

Unless there are any other options I've missed, this is why you just cough up and go Google Nexus/Pixel gents...
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] flashallthetime:
Like I have said numerous times , DON'T ATTEMPT TO FLASH BACK TO MM unless you have a back up plan.

That back up plan would of course be, make sure you have the Nougat firmware for your specific device.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Wilko1337:
[MENTION=4661942]flashallthetime[/MENTION] Was this in reply to my post?

Let me walk you through what happened:

1. My phone is stock, untouched since buying from Amazon brand new.

2. Received official OTA update

3. Update runs. Not sideloading it. Not using fastboot or adb. Updating via their official way.

4. Is fine after update for a few days

5. One day, come back to phone at the white moto logo screen. It's now bootlooping with the "Your device has failed verification" message.

So where am I now?

1. I cannot boot into the OS.

2. I cannot write new or custom recovery/system because it is fully locked

3. I cannot unlock my bootloader because I need to "Allow OEM unlock"

- Bonus: I cannot allow the OEM unlock because the OS won't boot

4. I made the rookie mistake of requesting the unlock key, not remembering that the OEM unlock needs to be enabled within the OS. So I'm out of warranty

Do I now have a brick, or is there a way to get around any of this?

It seems a bit silly since nothing is fundamentally broken (for example if the bootloader had corrupted). It's just artificially bricked by design because the firmware is tightly coupled with the OS. Somewhat understandable, but I think there should be a third system independent of the other two (bootloader and OS) that manages this OEM unlock.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] flashallthetime:
I was not specifically talking to you, it is for everyone.

As for your specific issue , that's definitely a warranty issue.

Odds are out of the million or so moto devices that are receiving the ota, there's bound to be a few that go south.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] KurrKurr:
I know this is an old thread, but I think OP still has his warranty. If he sends in his phone and they boot it, the "bootloader unlocked" message won't appear -> still covered!

It cannot be, that you waive your warranty by filling out a silly online form. Imagine someone else fills it out for you without your knowledge!?

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] timster01:
there are other ways to find out if the bootloader was unlocked

reboot into recovery and look for 'qe 0/0' at the bottom, the 0/0 represents whether the bootloader is unlocked and the number of times rooted (eg. 1/3 ... unlocked, rooted 3 times)
