I believe that soon we'll finally get our update... :)

And a factory image of the soak test is not available anywhere? Found only one with files corrupting GPU. Found soak test image for Z2 Force which runs like a charm. So there should be one for Z1, too.

Did they fix the battery problem.... I don't expect much from oreo, but I hope that Lenovo will fix their ****ty battery.

Top 3 thinnest phone in the world. "****ty battery". LMAO
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] assyriska:
It's about the battery management. My phone shows me 56% remaining battery, but after a forced restart it jumps down to 2%. This is my problem, not the 2620mAh battery.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Defaultnickname:
Uhm. Just replace it. Obviously, its dead. If you dont believe me, check with some app. Moto Z battery wont last long, anyway
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Tlucent:
Sometimes it happens to me.

What i do is force a restart for 4, 5 times and put it to recharge

Then my phone works fine for a month...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Maheshwara:
In my case, it is a bit different: Battery sometimes goes down till around 50% within a quite usual time, but then, it sometimes just takes half an hour to an hour till it will have gone down to 2%. Without any restart. Or sometimes, it goes off itself around 50% left and after having switched it on again it indicates battery almost empty.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Tlucent:
Other thing that you may try:

Charge phone until 100%.

Then do a force restart. Probably battery indicator will decrease a lot. Recharge phone until 100% and see if make any difference.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] legendaryoneman:
Cool

Was Moto Display one of those apps? And are you on Nougat or Oreo?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBr1ckfy:
I had an issue with battery, but changing ROM+Kernel make it good again.

Btw, someone with OPL27.76-15 zip file?

I'm using ErfanROM 8.0 now, but Incipio Battery Mod is not working here

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

Yes, Moto Display was one of those.

In that post, I was using Official Nougat, with November Security Path.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] legendaryoneman:
So nothing changed?

So it didn't change when you updated then? Does it look any different?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBr1ckfy:
Moto Display get some colors. Just like Moto Z2/G5/etc..

Moto Actions was little bit more fast.

From Nougat -> Oreo, Oreo is more fast, fluid.. Just my battery and Mod that is not good, but its a beta ROM.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] legendaryoneman:
Yea I already had the colored one. So no difference there. Yea that's true it's pretty cool that your on the beta. I would love to try it but I get frustrated with bugs in official releases so there's no way I'm running something that's meant to be buggy on my daily driver. How's the themeing?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBr1ckfy:
What do you mean with themeing? Substratum?

If so, I dont use.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] legendaryoneman:
Ok

Yea that's what I meant. Guess I have to wait till I get it then to test it out. Your battery got worse? How so?

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

Don't the original pixel and XL have treble tho? Edit: I didn't realize the pixels are the exception. Of course they would be. And why would Google do that introduce it like it's a new feature that everyone can get when really it is only a day one thing. And I thought it was just manufacturers being lazy. Is there really nothing they can do to implement it into current phones?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] RCN07:
There's an increase in battery drain after installing the latest moto display..... anyone experiencing the same or is it just my device?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] jafffar98:
My Moto Z gets serious overheating and it kills the batter. I can't even get more than 1 hr and 30 mins of SOT. Are there any possible solution? I tried wiping it more than once and nothing changed, I also tried updating it to 8.0 beta.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBr1ckfy:
Well.. bad SOT (something like 1h).. Spending 1% per minute.. its very very very bad.

But, as I said, thats not a big problem for me, now. So, I'm using as daily driver anyway.

Nothing with me in Nougat ROM.

Nothing for now.. But the best setup is Nougat, in my case.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] legendaryoneman:
Wow

Yea that does sound really bad. Well hopefully that's fixed before the official release or else that would suck.

ai dont know what to do now. I can't flash stock firmware

Please help
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Danilo_Pascal:
Any news?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Tlucent:
Unfortunately not yet.

Unofficial informations tells that this last soak test update contains january security patch.

Based on this, and based on usual Motorola's schedule when they release security updates every 5th day of the subsequent month, i really hope that on next week we'll find some good news...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] saikrissh:
I hope so.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] assyriska:
Hope too... Even phones like a honor 9 are getting oreo, and they even get an update for their UI. I thought that Lenovo / Motorola provides us updates very fast, but unfortunately they go the same way like other Chinese fabricator and push out to many models and variants of their phones.

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Kungencortes:
LOL.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] LoadGamePL:
We'll get the same treatment as Moto X Style/Pure with Nougat. Except Oreo in summer. Lenovo ain't Google, you can say goodbye to fast updates. I was aware of this when I bought Moto Z, so I'm not really that disappointed they kept the Oreo in Autumn promise only for Z2 Force.

The only thing I can say to cheer all of you up is that I had Oreo on my Nexus 5x and it sucked, I prefer having a good phone with no updates that a crappy lagging phone with fast updates.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Kam1leee:
he doubts that it will be the same because soak test for Moto x style began in early April and for Moto Z at the end of December
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] LoadGamePL:
That's a fair point.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Lif3mau5:
I get my phone back to life from dead/hard brick cauz I flashed the whole buggy Oreo Soak Test Fastboot Image... with lost IMEI Recover without EFS, only with 2x Fastboot Images and change Bootloader and Commands My own help, but this was a hard way to find out, how this works...!

The old Oreo Soak Rom was very blazing fast and stable by me ^^
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Maheshwara:
Moto Z Android Oreo Update Available -Soak Test- (screenshot)

Why didn't you stick with Oreo Soak ROM, If this was so fast and stable?

I thought, this image was buggy - at least the modem causes GPU malfunction.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Lif3mau5:
No the Image didn't have big Bugs (with GPU Driver or Modem) - the first time I flashed it, I get a flickering Screen but after the second time flashing the Firmware, no Bugs, very stable

My Bootloader was relocked:

replace the Bootloader of the "XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_NPLS26.118-20-5-11_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml-Fastboot Image" from the Oero Soak Image and take this commands:

"fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

fastboot erase ddr

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear "

then this command, for the Oreo Image, I don't remember for 100% the correct commands but I think it is... :

"fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

fastboot erase ddr

fastboot reboot "

... and zap my IMEI Bug (the "zero" was displayed as IMEI but I still had a mobile net) was also a thing of the past.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] piotriix:
Hi.

Can you see where you got the android oreo from?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] julioesc:
Motorola :(
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Loverj:
can u share oreo soak test ota ? and soak test completed or Not ?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] julioesc:
I do not have. I am in the eternal waiting for Mototrash to release version 8
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Lunatiic:
I bought my Moto Z Jul/2016 thinking that it would be as good as my old Moto X 2014 was, what a joke. Aside from the extremely scratch prone camera lens and fingerprint scanner, the trash battery and the underclocked SD820, Motorola Brazil doesn't sell Moto Style Shells despite advertising the phone as 'customizable' on the look and feel. They charge almost the price of a new phone on each Mod, for those mods that actually come to Brazil and are available for purchase, because the few that are displayed on their website are 99% of the time sold out. Now we have this LONG AF WAITING for a software released more than 6 months ago, Android P is already near the first developer preview and still no Oreo from Motorola. As a computing engineer I can only say how pathetic that is unless they are using a single intern to develop the 8.0 update.

Back then, the Moto X 2014 received the 6.0 update on NOVEMBER, and was the most stable release for that device since the 4.4.4 KitKat days, not needing any bug fixes or patches or whatever. How I miss Google behind Motorola... So I call the "wait longer for more stable software" completely bullsh*t, I work on software development and if we don't meet our schedule, we get fired even before the deadline, and I expected a company as big as Motorola/Lenovo to actually not be the last one the release the 8.0 update for their flagship devices.

Guess I'll be jumping ships to OnePlus sooner than expected, just like I did when I left Sony for Motorola.

Sorry for the rant.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] byhawk:
hoollaaa, thank you for news :p
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] welder73:
Who knows when we will get Oreo :confused:

Maybe it's time for me to root and try some custom roms...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] pzUH:
Haha yeah better go on custom rom if you have obsession for updates xD

And, holy cow, someone buy a phone with 2600 mah battery & 2k screen resolution and expect it to have good battery life xD
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Lunatiic:
Holy cow, that would make sense if the phone discharge rate were high only when the screen is on, but it loses 2-3%+ per hour with the screen OFF. Or should Motorola underclock the SD820 even more so it performs like the SD620 but costs twice as much? Very nice to pay a premium price to have 1h30m of sot during the day. xD
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Gandolff:
What are you running on your phone that you only get 1h30m sot, I get 3h sot on 10 to 12 h usage per day.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Lunatiic:
Almost no apps installed, the consumption comes from "Android OS", the apps I use most never go above 1% of battery usage. I get 1h30m sot on a 8h usage with brightness on ~30%, no GPS and no Bluetooth, and great signal reception on both wi-fi and 4g. Battery simply evaporates since I updated to 7.1.1. Factory reseting did nothing and the phone isn't even a year old yet.. If I go to sleep with 100% battery, I'll wake up with roughly 70-60% left.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Defaultnickname:
Reflash with wiping data/cache/dalvik. Common problem.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] RCN07:
This is exactly what is happening with my device as well and on top of this phone switches off even with some juice left in the battery and fails to switch on until i connect the device to the charger!.... anyone else with similar issues?

If yes, have u found any fix to this?

Thanks in advance:)
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Lunatiic:
Already did it, twice. Came to the point where I have almost no apps installed so I can try to reach mid-day without charging. Also tried disabling all motorola gestures as well as the ir sensors.

I had random shut downs just like yours with the battery at 30%+ about 5 times now, but not very common. When I try to power it back on it says it has no juice left, but when I connect the charger it starts from where it originaly was, and when I disconnect the charger and turn the phone back on, it discharges normally until 1%.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] ad86:
I had exactly the same problem today. I restarted the phone in recovery mode (power + down) and power off menu. After that it boot normaly now.

I bought Moto z in January 18, So what You suggest

go for Oreo via unlock bootloader nad install custom ROM like Lineage Os 15.1

or

Stay with Stock OS wait for official Oreo ?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] leoshyt:
wait for a month or 2, then decide
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] STALKERok:
For me using custom Oreo ROMs still uncomfortable because of unchangeable incall volume. If it's not a problem for you, just get a try and decide. In general Oreo customs is very good, stable and fast for daily using
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeik:
If a device I get has active rom development, I unlock it on day one.

I did exactly that with my Moto Z and I have no regrets, especially since 8.1-based custom roms work great for me ( I don't care about the in-call volume setting bug, I never used it anyways ).

But in the end, it's up to you since you are voiding your warranty ( it's kinda overrated, the only part known to die on this phone is the battery which costs 20$ online ). If you take care of your device ( tempered glass on the screen and good cases for drop protection ) , you have nothing to worry about. The stock rom is sluggish and can't be themed easily.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Loverj:
which custom ROM You used? share download link
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeik:
My AospExtended builds. You can get it in the ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development section.

But LineageOS 15.1 and AICP builds have the same base and work equally well ( the difference is only in features for customization ) .
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] some_shyguy:
Looks like Verizon is putting out another security update for the Moto Z Force. NCLS26.118-23-13-6-5 (83.6MB)

I haven't downloaded it yet but I guess I got nothing to lose.

I already pre-ordered my Galaxy S9+, i'm sick of Lenovo/Motorola, both companies have no respect to their customers. I'm selling this Moto Z before one of these companies bankrupts and no one wants their products anymore.

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Elsnakes:
I received this update on my Moto z yesterday. Seems like the development for the moto family first gen is not dead. I hope we get Oreo soon.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] LoadGamePL:
If you care so much about updates, why Samsung?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Lunatiic:
I'm not upset just because of oreo, It's the terrible battery ( my Z just completely discharged in 4h with only 30m of SOT and no apps installed since I factery reset it yesterday ), and the phone has only 7 months of usage. The camera lens is heavily scratched, the display has severe burn in, the fingerprint scanner is also moderately scratched but thankfuly still works fine. The device heats up like crazy with low brightness and the underclocked variant of the SD820 (1.8Ghz). I got some random reboots now and then. My phone shuts off randomly with 30%+ battery sometimes and says it has no juice left, but as soon as I plug in the charger it starts from where it originally was. Since the device get's hot quite fast, the UI starts lagging due to throttling. Motorola here in Brazil advertises the phone as customizable (Moto Style Shells), it even comes with all style shell images on the box, but doesn't sell them anywhere in the country since May or June/2017 and I only found it out after I bought the phone. Naiive me trusting them instead of searching first. The Moto Mods are almost the price of the phone itself and are always unavailable at their website, you can check it out yourself: https://www.motorola.com.br/moto-snaps (No Style Shells and from the few mods that they sell here, most are unavailable).

It has just been an awful experience all around, and the faster update cycle was what the only thing that kept me going for Moto. But even Samsung, which has always been the last one to deliver android updates, is managing to release stable versions of Oreo sooner than moto with much more customization and features baked in.

I went from Sony to Motorola to begin with, since I was fed up with Sony when they burried the Xperia S less than 6 months after it launched. So i'm not going back to Sony. I'm not fond of LG's UI. HTC doesn't sell devices here. Neither does Huawei, OnePlus, OPPO, or Xiaomi. Pixel devices are also not available here. So it's either Samsung or Apple. Since I had a great experience back in 2012 with the Galaxy S2, I'll give samsung another try. Updates are not that important to me if the phone is well built and behaves well, which is not the case with my particular Moto Z. I know quite a few people using the S8/S8+ and they all love it, so why not? They all get 5-6h SOT and I'm here struggling to get 1h. :D

I'll be sending my Z for a battery replacement under warranty, then after the S9 arrives I'll be selling it real cheap just to get rid of it.

/EDIT

For those who might think I'm blowing things out of proportion or making things look worse than they actually is, here are some pictures:
