[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] vinkho:
So after using the new update for a day, just want to give a small unscientific review for those who haven't got it yet.

Battery: this phone is my daily driver and I'm a heavy user. Battery usage is about par. It consumed about 3% overnight (7hrs) with both sim on in a low signal area, wifi/location off. This is the best I've seen since MM when it used to drain 2% overnight.

Some ringtones/notification sounds have been added.

There is a new initial charge animation when the phone is plugged in while off.

The phone seems to boot faster, although this could be my own personal perception.

Initiating one-handed mode is much smoother now. Previously i had to make multiple tries to swipe it to the left or right, now it just works.

Moto gestures app looks revamped, and chop chop/double twist camera seem to work faster. Again this could just be my personal perception.

Bluetooth connects with my car stereo really quick. Like, within a few seconds of turning on the stereo. I live in a congested city with a lot of start stop driving, and evertime i start the car, Bluetooth would be ready to make calls almost immediately. Previously it would take a while to connect each time. This is my favourite part since the update.

That's all I've noticed so far. No downsides as yet. VoLTE working fine on both sims.

Flash stock rom again from pc

that would delete all installed apps and data ??

BTW also tried

U r rooted and custom recovery installed so copy main file data through usb storage in twrp by connecting it to pc and then flash a custom rom and then flash stock rom

I was facing the same issue either go for adb side load or

You can check for updates in the settings

Same here. Stuck on TWRP screen after the update. Damn! Had unlocked the bootloader.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
There is absolutely no reason to have TWRP flashed if you are using stock ROMs. You can always just boot into TWRP (with a PC), do whatever you want and then boot back in stock recovery.

Like:

or

TWRP is to be used ONLY for CM/LinOS ROMs installations, not for Stock ROMs.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] abhi212b:
I think since you are rooted and you tried installing the OTA, the boot.img is replaced by the original one, that breaks the phone if flashed on root. so you can try 2 things:

1. Try flashing the EX kernel again. Flash the Uninstaller 1st and then flash it again and then normal boot from TWRP.. if it loops to TWRP, use point 2 procedure.. if it works...

2. If you are being re-directed to the TWRP. press and hold power + Vol down to go to bootloader and then use normal mode.

Personally, I would flash EX kernel again and then boot...

Hope it helps! :D

If Nothing helps..Make a Nandroid backup, Boot to bootloader by Power+Vol down. and then flash stock from PC..

u can restore the nandroid backup by Titanium Pro.. :D
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Shahbaz23:
Yeah, the 2nd point helped me... A simple fix... however note that u will still get the system update notification since ur phone isn't updated...

I have side-installed the 93-14-4 update on my US XT1644. It worked, but I started to have screen retention issues. And the battery life seemed shorter.

I have flashed back the 93-14 and th ebattery life is back to normal. However, the screen retention remained.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] oliyoup:
This OTA Update is also avalable in France.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
Finally the update arrived to my US retail XT1644, this time earlier than expected.

Of course, being rooted with custom kernel would require me to go back to stock first.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] WTF?:
I have brand new retail unlocked XT1644, just bought it new yesterday, before I did anything, it immediately notified me to take OTA 93-14, so I did, then rebooted and it then at that point it had 93-14-4 available, so I did that OTA as well.

Now at this point, what is my best way to root and not lose these OTA's ? Bootloader is still locked, but I could easily unlock it at Motorola website. This stock ROM is fine with me, but I do want to install several programs which require root. I have no interest in Xposed.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] toppits:
Before you can install the next OTA Update, everything needs to be "Stock". We need to flash a custom kernel to be able to root, so if you get the next OTA update you need to unroot and flash the boot.img (the Stock Kernel is in there). If any of your apps changed something else in /system or wherever else the system checks before an update, you need to reverse those changes as well.

A safe way would be to just flash the complete Stock ROM, but you lose all your data if you do that.

When Nougat hit our device I was von Stock MM, rooted. Since I didn't want to lose my data I searched till I found a way that worked (at least for the update from MM to N). As soon as the 93-14-4 update hits my country I'll try to update how I did it back then and hopefully it'll work. I wrote it down somewhere, give me a sec to find it. More or less it was just flashing some more files besides the boot.img.

Here it is https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71461568&postcount=64
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] abhi212b:
The way which i use is, flash the EX kernel and then Root it by flashing Magisk installer! Everything will be systemless this way, so whatever, u install and any changes u make, like u want to make any user app system app, u can use the app systemizer in magisk that way it will be done systemlessly and won't affect the OTA! All u will need to do to unroot is flash the uninstaller and that will remove any changes made to the system by magisk. That is the best thing! :D rest u can explore the magisk more, if u want... :fingers-crossed:

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jaime4272:
just to let you know, yesterday I went to my nearest best buy just to see and compare the galaxy S8+ to the mix and surprisingly they are at the same height and about 3/8'' narrower it does look good but I prefer mi mix over the S8+, what do you think?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jaime4272:
in this place you can compare different devices to the mix and or others.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Xi...X_id10294/size/Samsung-Galaxy-S8/phones/10312
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Nicolfa:
Not interested in less storage for a similar price, Samsung like apple has gotten greedy in the recent years. It offers 32gb and some 64gb devices like its doing people a favor. RAM is usually bogged down with bloat, cause the extra hassle of having to rom it to clean it up. Build quality is good though. Haven't been impressed since the Note 3. betting you can get a cheaper price on an LG6 which looks nearly the same, with a slightly smaller screen [same format nearly].
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jaime4272:
I hear you and I also think that this device is over hyped, I think that the mix is a better phone in some specs.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
I went from a 256gb Mi Mix to a G6 and I'm hating it. I have an S8+ on preorder but if I'm not blown away I'll probably sell it and pick up another mi mix. My only problem with the mix is that I have to use a case or else it get finger printed to hell.. and I've yet to find a nice slim case. I'm considering getting a white one just because it doesn't show fingerprints as bad but I really don't care for white phones. I know I'm being too picky. lol
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jim380:
Interesting. I also own a Mi Mix. I had the chance to play with the S8&S8+ at a TMO store and I loved them both. I particularly loved the S8 due to its smaller profile. And that brings up my biggest gripe with the Mi Mix, which is its size. The Mi Mix is just too big and wide to be comfortably held in hand. I've had mine since it came out, and I still can't get over its enormous size. There are of course other quirks with the Mi Mix that bother me. Such as the lack of speaker phone, mediocre camera etc. Long story short, I would trade my Mi Mix for an S8 in a heartbeat, if it didn't just receive LOS. Yes. I have Lineage OS running on my Mi Mix, and it has totally elevated my experience with the phone. I won't give up on the Mi Mix just yet, but I probably will somewhere down the road.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
The size is one of my favorite things about the Mix. I used to have a small tablet that I would take to the gym, now I just use my Mix. I also have the battery to handle it now.

How buggy is the lineage build? I've been checking in on the thread here and there but it seemed like it was still a little too buggy. My biggest gripe with the phone running epic rom is that there are some apps that I just can't get notifications for no matter what settings I enable or disable.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jim380:
"Buggy" is honestly the last word I would use to describe the LOS built. Matter of fact, it runs super smooth and fast. Except for the non-working proximity sensor, everything else works great. I highly recommend you to try it out. You won't look back.

With EpicRom, or any MIUI based ROMS, my experience is to turn off the "battery saving" option under Battery settings, and make sure the apps you use often are turned on in "Autostart" under Permission settings.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
I could definately live without the proximity sensor as it can be super annoying when playing games sometimes. I had heard the fingerprint sensor had issues though... as in it works but it registered as a screen press or something if you hit it? Anyway I probably will flash it if I get another mix. I sold my 256 version yesterday and I'm using a g6 for now... hate it. Once I get my s8+ and use it for a few days I'll decide if I'm going to keep it or sell it and get another Mix.

As for the app notifications, I know all the little tricks like locking the apps in memory, disabling ram management, disabling battery management, allowing autostart and all the other tricks but there were a few apps that no matter what I could not get to ever show a notification. The UoP app, google opinion rewards and a couple others. Most apps worked fine though and those few that didn't weren't deal breakers, just mildly annoying. I'm sure they will work fine on Lineage though.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jim380:
I hear you. What exactly about the G6 that you hate? I would definitely like to hear how you feel about the S8 once you get it.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
Fingerprint can worked around with fingerprint quick action from playstore, pressing power button when taking a call cancels out proximity sensor problem.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Nicolfa:
The G6 and the S8 are both nice devices, but feel less than they should be when you have had a Mix. Or that is how it feels to me, I find the Mix has just about everything i would want, the S8+ just seems like the "safer" version of it and the G6 is the cheaper safer version. Very glad I went with the Mix
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jaime4272:
mi mix vs s8/s8+

I have compare the s8+ to the mix and its about the same height, the mix is a little wide but no too much so the mix in my opinion is better but obviously the s8 is newer phone with better features like screen, iris scanner, camera etc. But the mix has more ram, rom and cheaper price?.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] loudog3114:
You're comparing an amazing piece of technology with samsungs latest pile of **** for mass consumption. No comparison.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jaime4272:
agreed

although I agree on some of your statement we can't denied that some new tech on this phone is good like the screen ( not complaining on my mix thought ), iris canner and replacement part, yea replacement parts.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
Well hate is a strong word.. its not a bad phone. Coming from the mix though... I dislike the much smaller screen. I dislike the much smaller battery. The auto brightness on it is always way too dark. It has noticeable jankiness that the mix doesn't have even though they're using the same processor. It doesn't seem like it charges as fast either.

Granted, most people wouldn't notice any of that stuff, especially if they weren't coming from a Mi Mix. The camera is supposedly great...but I don't take many pictures so its kinda wasted on me. Also the oleophobic coating on the screen doesn't appear to be very good... it's really hard to keep the phone screen clean even though its brand new. And there doesn't appear to even be a coating of any sort on the back. Minor nitpicks but like I said its a good phone..just not for me and I don't think it will hold up very well next to the S8.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
In that case, i think there's nothing you can do, even if you used a usb jig to boot into download mode, and install stock rom you might need to boot into recovery and wipe data in order for the phone to boot, but without the home button you're stuck, all you can do is fix it.

Please help me out. Cause I'm just a beginner.

If I fix the home button can I go to recovery.... Will installing the same ROM make a difference
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
Yes you can, you would simply boot into recovery and make a full wipe and flash the rom only, then reboot, then boot again into recovery and flash the Gapps and wipe cache and Dalvik cache then reboot, if that rom didn't work for you, then flash another nogut rom available like AICP or CrDroid.

I have a stock Moto G4 Plus. Today, I got the notification that Nougat update is available. I haven't updated it yet, as I read lots of problem with the Nougat on the web, things like reduce battery life, sluggish performance, lower volume sound etc... and etc...

What's your experience, if you already updated? I'd appreciate any inputs.

Should I or shouldn't I update? I don't care too much about the new Nougat functionalities.

The battery life of my G4 Plus is great with the current Marshmallow (4-5 hours SOT at the minimum) and it's smooth and fast for what I use it for.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hey guys, before you start polluting this thread with "this update made my phone overheats to hell" or "this phone is super laggy plzzz fixxx", do a factory reset after the update. Trust me, 99% of the time it'll fix any issues you have.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] bmeek:
While your response to [MENTION=3938342]SoNic67[/MENTION] seems a bit harsh, he's since edited his posts so I don't know if you were being righteous or not.

FWIW, I DO have a grandfathered UDP with Verizon, and regularly use androids' native portable WiFi hotspot to consume LOTS of bandwidth. Sonic67 had a point in that Verizon hasn't released the ROMs for the g4 plus - there's no vzw software on the phone that cares or checks to see if you're authorized by vzw to use your data however you see fit. He was wrong by implying that a carrier must "signal" its authorization for you to share your data connection with other devices - it doesn't work that way either. My advice: go ahead and update.

Oh - I should probably tell you that after I updated to moto's official Nougat, I promptly flashed the latest TWRP and [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION]'s InvictaOS before ever testing the stock Nougat ROMs' WiFi hotspot. I expect it works as well as moto's Marshmallow hotspot does. If not, you've got at least a dozen options.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
The tethering is not authorized on stock firmware until it is "checked" and gets"OK" from the provider. It happen to me with CricketWireless.

However, you are trying to help somebody that doesn't care to be helped, unless it's under his conditions. I have blocked him for being rude.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] bmeek:
As i gather you know, the portable WiFi hotspot in aosp certainly doesn't bother to get authorization from any carrier, and I recall no such hotspot authorization function added to moto's stock Marshmallow ROM for the unlocked G4.

Anyway, I guess neither of us have definitively answered the guy's question about the hotspot in moto's new OTA update to Nougat :).

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] bmeek:
That's interesting. Thanks.

Before reading your last post, I got curious so I installed the updated stock nougat ROM again and tested the hotspot. It worked fine (without any entitlement bypass tweaks and without root).

FWIW, I've never purchased / activated the hotspot option for my vzw unlimited data plan.

Edit: I read that tethering entitlement bypass thread's OP more closely, and he referred to "carriers' Moto Xs" and different carriers entitlement check apps. So, i don't believe it applies to the unlocked moto g4 plus not sold through carriers (which is what we're talking about here :).
