I also had issues with Action Launcher crashing immediately. Tried reinstalling and disabling the Google Backup restore for applications - still didn't work.

You have to set it as default and you can't do that from the launcher's settings.

Go to Settings of the phone > Apps and Notifications > Default Apps > Launcher

and set Action Launcher as the default. This fixed the crashes for me.

I tried Nova just to see if it's working as it should and it worked fine. Not sure why Action Launcher can't become default the normal way.

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
I wanna share my sad story with you.

10 days ago by my huge mistake I've flashed Oreo SOAK zips over 7.1.1 software (with February security patch, 26.118-22-2-17)... As a result of this my phone got hard bricked (not even able to boot into bootloader).

I've sent my Moto Z Play to warranty. Authorized Polish Moto Service Center (CTDI) replaced its motherboard for free (was this hard brick that HARD that Service Center did not notice my bootloader was previously unlocked? This is more than interesting actually, but nevermind).

Today I've got my phone back and I was happy with it only for first few moments: MOTO SERCICE CENTER HAS BLOCKED ABILITY TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER ON PHONE!

I was more than angry...

I did many phone calls to Service Center, Motorola Poland, Motorola UK, Motorola US and they escalated my case in their organizations but as two polish Moto Consultants told me that this is how their procedures in such cases look like, so bootloader in my Moto Z Play has to be forever blocked.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for a response from Moto Global/Moto US. Hope they'll keep being pro-consumer, not pro-internal-procedures being sticked to weird policy rules.

I will post more informations here once I get it.

PS. If my post here saves even 1 device from hard bricking, I AM HAPPY. Be careful, guys.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Nice heads-up.

You should be happy you got your device repaired for free.

My advice would be to sell the phone and get a new one, they're quite cheap right now.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
I will sell it for sure once it's 100% sure my bootloader can not be unlocked. :)

Unfortunately... There is no Moto Z Play on any market here in Poland anymore. Only Moto Z2 Play.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Well I bought mine from Amazon Germany and I live in South East Europe. That shouldn't be a problem with you being so close to Amazon countries. Last time it was selling for 230 euros new.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] MrPib:
So you voided the warranty, got a warranty replacement anyway, and now you're upset because they've prevented you from voiding the warranty again?

There's simply NO chance that you're not a millenial ;)

Anyway, thank you for the warning. I've been wanting Oreo myself, but my Z is my primary phone so I can't risk borking it.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
Well, phone with a blocked bootloader has the same value as hard bricked phone for me. :) Sounds stupid, but Android modding is my one of main hobbies since ~2010, so I simply does not feel comfortable using device with locked bootloader. :)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
There are no new cheap MZP on amazon and ebay (both uk and germany). The cheapest new MZP is still more expensive than cheapest new Moto Z2 Play with JBL Soundmod. Choice is simple... ;)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] MrPib:
I completely understand, Raf. Just kidding around. Used to love flashing different ROMs when I had the time for such things.

(First one was XDAndroid on an HTC Touch Pro 2!)

I've had good luck with swappa.com in the US, and I see they have an EU marketplace.

Hope you score an unlocked one soon.

I recently had my device invalidated in software update in February, I sent the motorola and they did not cover the warranty, I do not know how much it will be for them to repair, since a new card and the value of a new phone, I'm waiting for it You were lucky they changed you.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GuzXT:
I have the same problem and exactly the same answer of motorola.

Two devices (i think those are refurbished), and both with the "unlock data unavailable" message from bootloader.

Maybe sim unlocking can fix the data of bootloader and give a valid unlock code... i read that subsidy lock and partition that contain info about unlocking bootloader are related
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
But my case is kinda different. I get bootloader data for unlocking but Motorola unlock bootloader page does not recognize it.

I described my case here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTOROLA-Android-Developer/Bootloader-Unlock-Problems/m-p/4035328#M8429
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GuzXT:
Well, now i think that moto is blocked any software modifications in refurbished devices... Another difference is the cid number, these are cid0 while a new device, in my case, are cid50

They only said that my device need technical service, but don't support that modifications, so... :rolleyes:
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
My story has a happy ending: Motorola has provided me a new unlock code for my bootloader. Big thumb up for you, Moto! :)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Really_Rekt:
I was in a very similar situation; I bricked my device another way, but I pestered Motorola UK enough into giving me a refund for the phone. I've had enough of phones as large as the MZP, and I've now got an Honor 9.

Hi!

I tried to change the language to english on my chinese stratos (original cn firmware) by transmitting:

adb shell "setprop persist.sys.language en"

Unfortunately it doesn't boot to the start screen - it always keeps repeating 'optimizing app ... of 47

Does anyone know a solution for this problem?

Best Regards Alex

The solution is to reset the value back to its original (which I think is cn?)

The Chinese firmware on the Stratos doesn't have sufficient English translations to boot
[Amazfit] Veitschi:
HI!

Thanks for the tip.

I tried:

adb shell setprop persist.sys.language cn

adb shell setprop persist.sys.country CN

But it still keeps optimizing app ... total 47. after that it shows 'launching apps' and then I only see a black illuminated screen and then it repeats 'optimizing'

Maybe you've got another tip?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bunvilla:
i have spent many hours but i have finally unhid the Ext-rom in DCD's 3.01 kitchen. And fixed the bug where it would show u 2 Ext-rom's even though it was just the 1. It comes up as "Mounted Volume" instead of Ext-rom. I havent determined if this is a bad or good thing yet. I also made some cache tweaks of large per portions, (we r talking from 256k to almost 4mb) and still have 25mb of ,memory free after soft reboot. I was able to overcome alot of reg errors and come up with a stable ROM. Oh yea i forgot to mention that the response time from this ROM is great!! ill try and get screenshots later when i get a chance.

BUT, i said BUT, i have the ROM stripped down to the bone, and therefore i need to run a few more tests, before i release a copy of the ROM and the method i used. I have to go to work now and im dead tired so i will post my results later, when i get a chance to do more test.

But rest assured i have found the way to expose the Ext-rom in DCD's 3.01 kitchen for all u DCD fans.

=========================================================

CREDIT for this goes to No2chem and DCD, for all i did was manipulate what they have created, they provided the tools.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
lol i wasnt trying to make it a secret or anything.. to replace what i removed you need to put the extrom entries back into boot.rgu in the xip, and put oem_extrom.dll back into oemdrivers.

Is anyone else experiencing a camera glitch since using to Oreo?

On a number of occasions now when I've went to take a photo the screen goes black for a few seconds and the phone had to be unlocked again.

I've actually just had the phone reboot a few minutes ago doing the same thing.

It mainly happens for me after using double press of the power button to open the camera then switching to 2x zoom. Screen goes black and phone locks.

Does this about 3 times then either works or the phone reboots.

[General Questions and Answers] Raresch:
Hy there,

I hope I posted where I should and if I didn't please tell me the correct section where I should do this. Also, I am not a developer, I do not have root on my phone. I do not want solutions that require changing XML files or anything. I am just asking about an app that I could find in the Play Store, or, maybe, and apk to download (this being the second option)

I have a problem with the messaging app since I left my HTC One S for the Nexus 5X in June 2016 and I did not find an app to replace that, not even on my current Oneplus 5T.

So, I have a contact in my phonebook saved with multiple numbers - work / mobile / home etc. and she texts SMS from either of the numbers (doesn't really matter because they are included in the carrier plan as unlimited). But my messaging app is sorting those SMS as different entries by phone number, and not by contact. So if we start a conversation in a chat window based on the home number, the answer may end up in a different chat windows (she has a dual sim phone so it depends on the settings on which is right now, and because the SMSs are "free", she tends to not look at which carrier is using, because, why would you if they are all free?), but this actually disrupts the logical flow of the conversation.

I know that a such app exists because I used it on HTC One S in 2012 and I was able to send SMS to which number I wanted to select (home / mobile / work of the same contact from the phonebook) and I had all the conversation in only one place, but after I changed on Nexus 5X and now on OnePlus 5T I can not find this feature in the installed app messenger (Google's or Oneplus's), neither on Google searches or specialized websites. I have tested some of the SMS apps, looked for settings, but all of them seem to show the SMSs based on the phone number, and not based on the contact entries.

Can someone suggest an app that could do that? Maybe I didn't search good enough.

P.S. The MMS option to send grouped messages is not an option because this means I will send the same SMS to multiple numbers, but those numbers are of the same person so there is no need to do that ...

Thank you very much for Your answer.

I was thinking about uninstalling all the useless apps that came preinstalled on my device. My problem is that I don't know what's necessary for it to run smoothly.

There are lots of Samsung apps, and other strange apps (at least for me) that I don't find useful at all. What I usually use my phone for is Youtube, Facebook, Messenger, Camera, and some games.

So... if anybody knows what's important to keep, or whats "junk" I would appreciate a list or something about the necessary apps.

Thanks!

Clock widget, Google Widget, and a ram bar that lets me refresh it when i close an app, however i tried removing each widget one at a time, and then all of them and it didnt solve it.

Just installed Evie on my phone and everything was running buttery smooth. May need to run it for longer to see if it starts to slow down.

Does the lag persist on WiFi?

Hello everyone

Is it possible that my soc is just to bad?

In EX Kernel is even the minimal OC option causing a freeze within 1 to 5 minutes after applying. Regardless if on Nougat or Oreo Stock/custom/LOS etc

Zest Kernel is causing this issue without any tweaking, so it's unfornutaley not working for.

I'm wondering because In never read any user complaining about this.

If a logcat is needed (you can be sure I will only need 10 minutes and im ready to upload the log haha)

I will provide one or maybe one per rom/kernel constellation, maybe you suggest one, once my f*ing win10 is finally able top work properly, Im just reinstalling since yesterday literally 5 times due to this buggy v1803 OEM release ESDs.

My understanding is that Essential has made Android 8.1 available as an OTA update to all phones at this point.

But every time I check for an update, it says that I have the latest at 7.1.1

I am on Sprint, but it's my phone, not purchased through Sprint.

Is this common, or do I have a unique problem?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Jostian:
Everyone i know with PH1 got the OTA to 8.1 within a week of it being released, so i think it's a Sprint issue even though you got the phone yourself.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I'm pretty certain I read that Sprint customers got the 8.1 update like everybody else. You might want to contact Essential support to see if they have any recommendations. I'm assuming you've rebooted your phone at some point. Sometimes that's necessary before an update will show up. Hopefully Essential has a solution where you don't need to factory reset your phone but that might end up being your only option.

Just a tip in case you do end up doing a factory reset. It's a much better idea to choose the give your phone a fresh start option instead of restoring your phone from a Google Cloud backup. The cloud backup restores app and system data and can actually restore whatever was causing an issue on your phone.
