[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tinystonego:
Is anyone using an open case on the S9? I mean no lips on the left and right edges. I really want to try one because the screen is gorgeous to admire, which is the main reason that I bought this phone. But I don't think I can afford the repair fee in case the screen gets damaged.

Any suggestion? I'm currently waiting for the PITAKA MagCase as their case is the slimmest and lightest I've found so far.

There are also some reviews made by other guys.

I'm not sure what you mean by "no lips" on the sides. If you mean what I think you mean, that would offer even less protection for the edges of the screen.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] netwave:
I recently fixed a bricked XZP with Flashtool, get the latest stock firmware from Xperifirm if you dont have on hand an older hackable firmware from XperiFIX

in Xperifirm setting, set it to extract firmware automatically once downloaded to speed things up,

In flashtool/Tools/bundles/Create, select source folder (your downloaded extracted firmware)

in device "double click" & select your phone model from the list.

branding: add as your download example, custom_uk

version: firmware version copy & paste from download

copy all files from file list to firmware content & click create

this will build a .ftf flash tools file which can then be flashed to your bricked device

just follow the prompts in flashtool....

worked for me,

good luck ;)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] iArvee:
Lol. Sony phones are really hard to brick. You really can't brick a Sony phone even if you intentionally wanted to. I've even had a failed flash (phone disconnected while flashing) and was still able to flash using flashtool.

Anyways, I know this has been said before, but what happens after you flash using flashtool? Did you check all the boxes for a full wipe?

BTW, bad mouthing a phone just because you can't solve your problem won't help you.

so you say fck sony while you used their products more than a year without problems? its like having a young sexy girlfriend and she becomes a grandma, will you also say fck my girlfriend she isnt good in bed anymore.

with sony you get a naked, clean, good smelling nice girl with cheetah reflexes.

other phones, for ex. samsung, the girl looks nice from a distance but when you start to know her, you will hate her, and she is always slowing you down.

with other companies they give you a girl, but without even a place to insert your sd card.

Men i said that this problem got fully fixed by sony service but just after two month a ip68 phone that i even used it in pool get water damage by washing it normally with water, board get damage and by cause baseband not working and no warranty. Because warranty time expired.

About samsung yes it's true i had a phone from Samsung , a goddamn phone just in four months i was forced to 5 time changing the charging port and 2 time changing charges and one time chaning lcd, that's crazy right but its truth i was sold that phone and buy a lg g3 and ihave it now after 2 year and half without problem.

Now i got a new phone, y7 prime 2018, and I'm happy with it because if it get damaged i will lose less than 200$.

Hi....., How do you know that the battery is damaged?

my xzp is dead, does not vibrate, does not flash the led, does nothing...
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_m:
They release new phones quicker than they release updates. Reading about the Oreo update on GSMAarena, just made my blood boil ... "That said, the Moto Z Play is unlikely to receive another update for some time (or ever)".

Yes, maybe GSMArena is wrong and we will get security fixes after the Oreo update. But so far, Moto/Lenovo has disappointed me with their slow and sparse OTAs.

Seeing how they are going to release the Moto Z3 Play soon just makes me angry. The performance increase is minimal, the battery will most likely be as small as the one in the Moto Z2 Play, or smaller.

Am I stupid to think that a new model of anything should be improved so much that owners of the current model might want to upgrade? At least after the third generation? The Z2 and Z3 series are aimed at new customers, not at owners of a Z1.

[MENTION=293243]Moto[/MENTION]/Lenovo: Slow the f**k down! Support your cr*p with regular updates! And release new phones when technology (CPU, battery, camera ...) has improved significantly to make the next generation of phones interesting to your current customers!
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] scottdanpor:
Yeah the Z2 play was a dud. Take the main selling point of this phone and nerf it... the battery.

I'd be very happy though with an incremental upgrade, maybe some more RAM and a 636 CPU... but make it IP68 waterproof! So far though looks like the Z3 Play is also a dud with a 3000mah battery.

The Galaxy A7 is basically the kind of phone I'd like, but without all the Samsung bloat. Bigger battery than the Z Play and waterproof. Maybe 4GB+ of RAM would be nice though.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] geetesh.kumbhare:
That's why i will not waiting for z3play and buy honor view 10. It's sad that Motorola phones not appeal anymore and hope they will make intresting phone so people again look at them.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_m:
Exactly, battery and headphone plug :D

I could imaging that Moto (and others!) simply want to have the newest CPU in their phones, so that they "rank better" ... on price comparison sites ... or to give salesmen a simple reason to sell "this phone over that one".

Apart from that, it doesn't make sense at all. We have Apple and Samsung as the big players. The others come up with something different every now and then. Due to their "always the newest hardware strategy", they either produce the same products as everyone else, or they kill their darlings by dropping them like a hot, half-arsed potato. In the end, only the price tag determines which phone will sell. And Moto has no way to compete against "true Chinese brands" in that respect.

Even worse, some of those "crappy Chinese brands" actually do offer more regular updates and longer support...

It's a shame that no one in the business has balls (or a uterus) and does something extraordinary and stand out from the crowd.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] vivebatu:
We got 2 OS updates on on this phone and security patches also have been coming through, what is the rant about?.... Google itself promises 2 years of updates, so we are at par with that philosophy, not behind... Infact even after releasing so many new phones after the z play, they have not forgotten it, is commendable no?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] TigerCourage:
Exactly.

It got the same amount of updates as a flagship. What else do you want? Do you think Samsung is going to give Android P to Galaxy S7 users or what? You're also up to date with security patches. I can't see another big brand updating their mid-range as long as Motorola did.

OS updates end here but they will continue to provide security patches if they want. Most people upgrade after 2 years anyway.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_m:
Sorry, that is pure whataboutism. The notion that other companies don't support their products doesn't make it acceptable in any way.

I am not concerned about not getting Android P, but I would like to have Oreo supported with security fixes.

Apart from that, you really are satisfied with two years of support?! You are any phone manufacturers dream customer!

I bought my MZP in 2017, when it was still a decent phone. Therefore I got only 1 year of support. Not very impressive in my opinion.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] scottdanpor:
This is another good point. We compare to other manufacturers who have super short support spans and think Motorola is doing great. None of them provide much support because they want us to buy new devices. The whole system is designed to keep people paying for new phones and stuck in expensive plans (at least in Canada it's that way). We're so happy they throw us a few crumbs we forget they're sitting at a feast, for an analogy.

Not meaning to be too negative, the phone we have works great I think. Looking at the big picture though, we're just consumers to them in the end.

I hope treble changes things up, there's hope.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] vivebatu:
Well let's see

1) whataboutism ; while it was alluded to and I don't endorse bringing others down but peers are the natural reference point , apples to apples right !

2) 1 year support and the 2 year debate: this one is a totally different discussion. I guess the topic is a rant against Motorola , so we are debating if Motorola did good or not. But the 2 year update issue is a different issue. From Google itself there is an ownership deficit with andoid, they don't feel responsible enough for it, like say apple does for iOS. In the name of open source, they have gotten away with a lot of accountability. If today Google owns up and pushes OEMs, things can change drastically, but they won't because they are happy spreading the Google ecosystem everywhere.

3) buying new phones ; this is a value debate ie did you get enough value for the money you paid, I would say a resounding yes for this phone. Well pixels and iphones have 3 yr or 5 yrs support but the damage accordingly is nuclear to the pocket
