Don't do it.

I have a basically new moto z (reteu) that came with 6.0 2 months ago. First I used it on 6.0 due to fear, since many people wrote bad reviews about 7.0/1, after some time the complaints weren't so often so I updated all the way to 7.1.1. Whereas the phone worked great and didn't heat up much on 6.0/7.0, on 7.1.1 it really gets unusually warm (comparably same as my old model with sd810) even during browsing the net or reading Xda forums in the Xda app... Naturally the battery life is worser, as are some unknown wake locks or battery drain in idle, which were not present on 6.0. Can't say if these were present on 7.0 as i used it for 30 mina or so before updating to 7.1.1.

Perhaps this is just my experience, but I wanted to say it out loud as it is frustrating me, even if I got the phone really cheap (250 new) and I can't do **** about it, since if I unlock and try another kernel/rom the warranty is allegedly void. Whereas I don't believe that the retailer will replace the phone on my claims of overheating, with a new one... So I'm back to using my mi5 or ages old LG g2 which both last almost 2 times longer now and don't heat up as much (the mi5 stays with same load cold, while the moto z now heats up the whole back even if i have the back cover on).

I'm almost daily checking if they might release the August security patch with this issue/bug fixed as well
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] doree:
If you're experiencing problems after installing 7.1.1, then you did most likely something wrong or you have a bad unit. Never had these mentioned issues. No "overheating" issues, no LTE issues, no battery issues at all, overall performance and experience is better than ever. And I know a lot of people who share the same experience.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Benoe:
I just wanted to praise the phone, that after the factory reset, that I did on sunday, everything is ok, two glitches (1. settings app force closed when I tried to check wifi usage, 2. I had to tap two times on the search bar in the home screen to enter something) went away, today I faced a not so short hangup, that I also had earlier:

The phone seemingly frozed, has not reacted to any of the buttons nor the fingerprint reader. Then after 5 minutes it came back. It has happened between this two log entries, telling me nothing about the core of the issue:

08-24 12:46:11.093 2729 2916 I chatty : uid=1000(system) android.display expire 17 lines

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] crnkoj:
Sir I'm not sure if this is about my post, but I had at least 20 different android phones until now, used custom os's on all of them but the moto z right now and I couldn't say that I can make a simple update now wrong. And all of those phones in the end always worked/those that I know of still work properly. As for defective hardware, I find it weird that up until and including 7.0 the issues didn't manifest, that is somewhat weird no???

My suspicion is that moto used a wrong governor for 7.1.1 since the phone gets hot in near idle state, which it before did not... But as stated, waiting for the August patch to see if this gets resolved, before I send the phone back or unlock it and Flash custom os/kernel, since moto is being a **** with the warranty after unlock.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] kaliberx:
Same as in 6.x and 7.0 = Interactive, so as said : You did something wrong, or your Hardware has a fault (Which mostly ends into a too hot SoC).

Why ? : Because many many others (including myself) have absolute no Problems with Heat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdTOIG9WRq8 << I even used it (Gaming) before the Test, so there is not a huge Change in temperature with Geekbench4.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] crnkoj:
Same governor, can have different settings. Srsly. What can anyone do wrong with an update, for which you just have to click I agree/proceed???

And if it's a hardware fault, why did it manifest exactly after updating to 7.1.1 and not earlier? Statistically the chance for it happening earlier is 2 months vs 1 minute...

I must I was slightly hesitant at first having read posts about phones being bricked etc. but bit the bullet and so far the phone seems to be okay (though it's only been an hour since the ROM installed). I am also running the modified Pixel Launcher from Android Ohttp://www.androidpolice.com/2017/08/25/modified-pixel-launcher-devices-hits-version-2-1-brings-new-oreo-features-much/ which is great since now I can have 5 icons across the row instead of 4.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

So you're saying that someone that updates through OTA on a locked phone and had issues did something wrong or had a bad unit? No... Sorry. It's not because your phone has no issues that everyone else's shouldn't. There are many factors to take into consideration before making bold statements like that. Just the fact that they just released NCL26.118-23-1 goes to show that their release HAS issues. It can be issues that affect a small percentage of people, but there are issues nonetheless.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Lunatiic:
Started having some random reboots on the oficial 7.1 update. Not rooted. Happened 3 times now, right after unlocking the device
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] crnkoj:
Just wanted to give an update. After a few days it randomly started working normally, but the again getting warm and using more battery than on 6.0. So i factory restored it and mostly now it does not get so warm and it doesn't drain battery as much. However it still randomly when being used (with same usage patterns always) gets warm and uses more battery than normally. Without root it is really hard to figure out the reason and I still haven't unlocked naturally because of this issue... I still mostly assume it is a kernel issue with the cpu governor (I see it many times that both clusters run at full speed, even when it's not necessary). Probably unlocking and using a custom kernel would fix this...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ph03n!x:
Do you have the JBL speakers mod? I've seen this happen if I have the mod attached and if I leave the phone with the screen facing down. It starts getting warm and will keep rebooting (can't check if it's bootlooping coz screen is facing down). If I remove the mod, everything is good with the world!
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] crnkoj:
Nah no mod. Just plain phone with the stock back that comes with it.

I was thinking it could be moto display, but the issue arises in use mostly, not in idle. At least after the factory restore now.

New update...ago security path

I recived new OTA
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Krehetin:
Ditto

I'm having battery issues too. I never had battery problems before. My phone will be fully charged, and then quickly drain. I was under warranty still so I exchanged my phone because of the battery. I have the new phone and it wants to update and I'm afraid to do it and have the same problems
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Maheshwara:
Same issue here. Contacted Lenovo and got adviced to do a battery reset:

Press Power button as long as device reboots.

Then, during reboot, connect charger.

Let it charge till 100% and afterwards, do not disconnect it for another 2 - 3 hours.

Then disconnect it from charger.

Did this yesterday and today, I have had the impression, that battery has not drained as quickly as during the last time.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] crnkoj:
How did you exchange? I'm in Germany, bought from mediamarkt.de 6/17. I think I would get a refurbished or they would just reflash it and say it's normal, no???

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Maheshwara:
Download-Link see #22, how to manually flash see #27. Managed it exactly this way.

Is there any source to download OTA with September security patches? Still not got it, therefore would like to sideload...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] bullfinch110:
Remove your sim card, reboot your device, insert the sim card again and wait for its registration. After a while, you should get the OTA notification. If not, check in Settings "About Phone".

If you didn't modify your system (custom recovery, custom kernel, root, etc) you could download/install the 7.1.1 OTA without problems. Be sure that you have a pure Stock 7.0 before installing 7.1.1.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] blckDTshadow:
Never heard of that method before. Unfortunately this did not do the trick. So I guess there's only one way to go. If I flash the OTA can I keep my data partition?
