[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] peacemaarkhan:
Hi users of Moto Z Play,

I just bought the phone (to be delivered tomorrow).

It seems like a decent phone with a lot of the features that I want. Reviews also seem decent, except that I couldn't find a drop test video.

Since I drop my phone quite frequently from the desk level or hand level, I wanted to know - should I be worried about cracking my phone's screen / destroying the phone itself?

I have been using the Moto G3 so far and am VERY happy with its survival - barring a few small dents to the body, it has taken all the maltreatment I have meted out with staggering grace. :)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] leoavi94:
Luckily, I haven't had any such encounters with my moto z play but before I bought mzp I thoroughly researched about sturdiness of thr phone, how company handles warranties etc.

Let me tell you that I use my phone bare, with no screen gaurds, and I hate phone covers to the core. When I added mzp to my online cart, I also added a good screen guard protector and an armored back cover for my phone because every damn review site clearly told that screen is very fragile. One of them had his review unit damaged when he dropped his phone from table.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] peacemaarkhan:
I also hate screen protectors and screen guards - what protectors / guards are you using now?

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] varun jashnani:
No matter how sturdy, this is a glass phone, having gorilla 4 front and back. But it also depends on the impact point, if you are unlucky the glass will break in a small fall also. So if you are not carefull with handling, i suggest a normal case rubber one which has lip for camera and on the front to protect the display, and no need of screen gaurd or tempered glass.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] peacemaarkhan:
I understand, but is the phone sturdy overall - compared to solid phones like Moto G3 or the Lumia series of old times?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Yash24:
I had dropped my phone once directly from screen side :p

But it didn't broke!

It also passed water test and will receive Android 7.1.1 upgrade also!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] classic757:
I have owned Motorola now Lenovo phones since the flip phone era and from my experience they are very durable, well built phones.

I purchased the Moto Z Play Droid xt1635-01 (Verizon variant) several days ago and I really like this phone. Phone came with Marshmallow 6.0.1 preinstalled but shortly after I powered it up I got the Nougat update OTA along with two separate security updates.

Whils I am not one to frequently drop my phone, I do install a screen protector and a case on all of my phones, just for extra protection. On my Moto Z Play I have an Incipio dual layer dual pro case (from Amazon) and a Zagg tempered glass screen protector. (from Verizon) They both work very well on this phone.

Since you mentioned that you frequently drop your phone, I would advise you to get a case and a screen protector to put on it.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] yumfoods:
Hi, guys!

I'm in the process of migrating from my N6P to a G5 Plus. When setting up the G5 Plus, Google didn't show me the backup set for my (stock, out of the box) N6P. Instead, it's only showing me the backup set for the phone prior to the N6P. I was able to examine that backup set (because Google gave me the option to pick-and-choose which apps I wanted to restore to the G5 Plus). It is an old backup set, missing about half of the apps I currently use (some of which are paid versions).

I've had the N6P doing Automatic Backups from Day #1. The settings have been (and still are)

Back up my data: ON

Backup account is correct

Automatic restore: ON

So, if any of you have any ideas of how I can get my G5 Plus to find my N6P backup set, so that I can properly set up my G5 Plus, I would really appreciate it.

BTW, as I was having trouble with the set up, on about attempt #5, my G5 Plus showed me an option to set up the G5 Plus using the Bluetooth Nearby Device feature. Make sure you have any existing Bluetooth connections or devices turned off (my headphones were inadvertently still on and commandeered the connection from the other room). But this feature worked a treat in moving my Google credentials over to the G5 Plus. Sadly, this still didn't help me with the backup data.

I know this is more of a Google question than perhaps a device question, but the rules suggest I ask here first. (If you all have a better suggestion for my thread location, I'm open to it.)

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] yumfoods:
An update: In discussing this with others, it seems the culprit may be the fact that my N6P is Android v. 7.1.2 and the G5 Plus is on v. 7.0. Some people told me that when they were playing with the beta version of 7.1, they weren't able to restore their 7.1 backups to 7.0 phones.

Unless you all have any better suggestion, it seems I will have to manually set up this phone and lose some (hopefully, little) app data. I'll be using the Search function to research backup apps for this phone.

Got a chinese mirror. Android was giving all sorts of error. Now its not booting up.

The original firmware version was:

Anyone has this firmware file?
[Connected Car] mehdis:
Look at your message box
[Connected Car] universeisgr8:
I found the file myself and have uploaded on the cloud to help others in need. In fact this is a newer version of the firmware and working great. I am using this version on the mirror that looks like the one in attached pic.

The firmware can be found at the MEGA link below. Just use Phoenixcard software to burn the sd card as "product", insert the card in mirror and boot. It will load the firmware, takes about a minute, and will turn off. Take the card out, turn on the mirror and all set. Reformat the card as normal and continue using it. If phoenixcard doesnt run on windows 10, try to run in compatibility mode for windows 7.

hi i had the same problem when i installed wm6.It said sim lock and told me to ask an unlocking code from my provider.I made a hard reset and everything was ok.Good luck.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Maggy:
itsme's tool should do the trick. Unlocking SIM should have no effect on your installed WM6. In the unlikely event that it would harm WM6, just simply reflash.

But it's also very likely that you can just call your provider for the unlocking code. SIM lock is a way in which providers make sure to make money on "cheap" phones, the actual cost of the device is hidden in the cost per month or per call. Countries can have different laws:

-in Belgium the provider has to give you the unlock code when you ask for it, even if it's one day after purchase.

-in the Netherlands the provider should give it after 1 year (if you ask for it)

Once you've unlocked, you can shop for the cheapest provider. If you don't you keep on paying for a device you already paid...

Installed the first the Kernel and then the Nougat_7_1_1_B02_we_can_do_it_better_than_zte.zip.

Wipe Cache and Reboot to recovery , than into to the system.

Result:

Need a Pin for the first start, but no ok. I could input all numbers and delete it. But nothing go on.

Any Idea for my failure ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tron1:
Yes, I have an idea. You didn't read and/or under-stand what you have to flash and what not. You don't have to flash the kernel (it's just in case you played with other kernels, so you don't need to flash the whole system). The thing you have to flash before is the universal Bootstack from the LOS thread. For removing the pin do the following in TWRP:

head to Advanced > File Manager, and go to the /data/system folder. Scroll down and find the two files with the .key extension. Delete both of them (by tapping on the file and then tapping the “Delete” button). Then, delete all the files containing the word locksettings.
