[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
May patch?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
Why? :confused: It is really the end of the world if a phone doesn't get the latest Android version? If having the latest version means that much to you then wait and buy a phone with the latest as stock. But if Nougat was the latest when you bought your phone what is your complaint? Just sayin'. :confused:
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitJainWorld:
I love this phone because it is better than all of it's competitors like Redmi Note 4/5, Galaxy J7 Prime/Pro, Honor 6x, 9lite

It has killer camera.

Portrait shots from Honor 9Lite looks fake.

Moto G5 Plus provide awesome bokeh effect.

It has Gorilla Glass 3 also.

TurboPower with Great battery life.

This is smooth as silk.

Honor 9Lite has oreo but it has the worst UI.

and Motorola's one button navigation is really underrated.

Other Moto Gestures are also very handy.

I know oreo update is delayed because it has 32bit Nougat.

But Unfortunately Google stopped providing 32bit OS after Oreo.

Now their developers have to compile 32bit OS themselves.

If they provide 64bit upgrade then it will wipe internel storage then some people will criticise motorola.

Still we will get update very soon.

If you talk about Nokia

Their smartphones are priced at higher value.

They already charge more amount for software updates. Last year they sold Nokia 6 with snapdragon 430 at ₹16k

Nokia doesn't have wide range of devices like motorola so they can provide update more quickly.

Motorola will have to provide updates to 2016's Z series smartphones also including Moto G4 Plus.

Motorola used 32bit OS because It is more stable on midrangers and it can run 64bit apps also.

They didn't know what google is going to do.

Now they launched Moto G6 Series with 64bit Oreo and Project Treble.

I think G6 series devices will be one of the first midrangers to get Android P.

Last year Moto G4 Plus was one of the first midrangers which got Nougat.

Earlier they were providing security updates quarterly But now they are providing security updates in every 2 month.

I think motorola is still a good brand.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
I agree with you. Dollar for dollar they provide the best value. And the community support for their phones outweighs any shortcomings concerning factory updates. I have owned 3 previous Moto G models and am waiting on my G5 plus to arrive today. I have never regretted owning Motorola and my previous smart phones (Samsung and Huaweii) didn't hold a candle to the Moto's.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitJainWorld:
Why did you buy G5 Plus now?

You should have bought G5S Plus or G6 Plus
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
Because that was the phone I wanted, but since you asked. My wife has the G5s plus and I am not impressed with the camera. Also, the display is larger than I want. As far as the G6 plus 64 gig is over $110.00 more than the G5 plus 64g gig. Not to mention that it's not available in the U.S. so I'd have to buy the international version thus no manufacturer's warranty. And the display is larger than I want.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Here in Germany the G5+ is still more expensive than the 5S+ . (G5+ 240€, G5S+ 225€>) I think for a good reason. I bought it one day after Xmas for 190€ and the next day it was 240€ again).

I wanted exactly this device too, 5,2" is perfect for me and the dual camera of the 5S+ isn't that good.

I'm happy with the Moto stock cam, no need for a modded Gcam imo.

The G6 is maybe an alternative but it's too expensive atm here.

I like this device exactly as it is.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] bazinga137:
I absolutely agree, G5+ is overall better than G5S+ in all the right places. I even had a chance to buy the G5S+ for $20 cheaper than G5+, I still went for G5+.

First off, the cameras. G5+ has incredible camera hardware, snaps pics very quickly, and works better in the dark. Two mediocre cameras won't do better pictures than one good camera. Also the huge shutter lag of the G5S+ is very annoying, and the bokeh software is terrible.

The S+ is better built though, all metal, with a bouncier vibration motor and louder speaker, but I've read on moto forums that a really common problem was dust inside the camera lens, and the battery life isn't as good.

What really made me buy the G5+ was the community support. There is so much more going on on our forums than on G5S+. The chromatics mod, 64 bit roms came earlier, now even treble. Root fixes so much stuff.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pastorbob62:
I agree with you. The G5+ was the same price as the G5S+ when I went to Motorola.com. But I opted for the 64 GB version which made it more expensive. However, it was still considerably less expensive than the G6+ on Amazon. And it is fully warrantied (at least until I unlock and root it). Comparing it to my wife's G5S+ I am very happy with my choice, although she gets great battery life as well. In a nutshell, we are both happy with the phones. :;):good:

Hi guys, sorry if this isn't in the right category, I'm new. I'd like to ask if it's possible for me to get my stock rom from my J2 Pro and put it on my old J2 prime? will it work?

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Sachinfan:
Hi,

I am thinking of buying a oneplus device , the coming month, as it seems to me the most value for money smartphone in the premium handset segment. The reviews are always great , but having always used a samsung or apple flagship ......I have a couple of questions to ask.

1.

Customer Care service in India

? :

I have been googling around and it seems Oneplus doesn't have a robust and a customer friendly Customer service network. There have been articles of people getting a invoice....twice the amount of the phone itself or amazon dragging its heals when it comes to replacing/refunding for a faulty unit.

I understand, probably apart from Nokia/Samsung/Apple, most companies don't provide good service in India. But one is more apprehensive about brands like Oneplus, Xiaomi, Vivo etc who rely mostly on online sales model and are relatively new. Also, you have videos from youtubers which slam these chinese brands for their after-sales service or the lack of it...

2.

Durability/ Longevity ?

The other most heard complaint/opinion is that if the phone is priced less, then the company must have cut corners to save cost...Is oneplus doing so? There are videos on youtube which show it's black coating on the back panel isn't as durable, even if you use a cover.

I am looking for an honest opinion and please don't start a apple/samsung vs oneplus war here. I have for quite some time believed that 60-70 K charged by apple and samsung is a little too much when everyone knows that it cost less than half to make them... A price of around 40-44k is pretty ok , but not more.

Waiting for your opinions...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Shahitto:
I don't think so because it need to be ported to RR Rom from MIUI it's not easy. That's why I'am using multiboot Rom MIUI 9.5.12 as primary and RR rom as secondary.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] BadGuy:
I know it might be a trivial question, but recently I saw a new update for the G6 OREO (https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/development/lg-g6-oreo-g600-download-t3784263) , and was wondering if I can flash this update on my H870, or am I going to take a risk of brickning my G6?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Mikes:
This is for G600 variant so obviously you can't flash it.
[Magisk] Silkwormgirl:
Has anyone has success in installing this on Android 5.0 samsung S4 ? I followed the instructions and the manager just says not installed. :(
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Unless you provide more details and installation logs it's gonna be hard to help...
[Magisk] Silkwormgirl:
What details would you like to know? I flash it and then later restart but the manager was not there so I tried to install it from saving the apk file that I downloaded. But it just said it was not installed and later I found out I lost root from trying to flash Xposed on my phone. :(

I am very new to this and tried to follow the tutorials and videos but its not working cause I thought using Magisk I can install the seamless Xposed.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Those recovery/installation logs would be a good start.

You're muddling up the details a bit...

Was the Manager not installed or did it report that Magisk wasn't installed? And you lost root? But you said you couldn't install Magisk... Are you already rooted? That might cause issues.

Being nice and clear and detailed (what is being flashed, version numbers, what's already done, what works, what doesn't work, with logs, etc) in your descriptions would help.
[Magisk] Silkwormgirl:
I hope this is clearly for you! :)

1. I flash the file with TWRP with success

2. The phone got stuck on samsung logo

3. Root was removed.

4.I had to re flash stock and it is working again.

5. How do I get the logs of Magisk if my phone keeps looping?

I wanted to use Magisk to see if Xposed would work but it looks like i can't even get Magisk to work on my samsung i9500 with original rom. This same thing happens with Xposed where everything goes smoothly with flashing it in recovery and then a boot loop on the logo. Others on this forum have been complaining about this too and perhaps the developer might have not considered odexed rom like samsung for these wonderful apps to work? :(

I am going back to Kitkat where i don't have these issues and I can use Xposed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wilbur:
hi -

the problems: since flashing 2 weeks ago my vario III only works for voice and data in gsm only mode - with 3G enabled i generally can't make or receive a call or connect to data, but the device . Everything works when i switch to GSM only...

The complications/wierdness: straight after flashing a new rom or radio i have sometimes been able to get the device to connect to 3G or make a call - but this usually only last for one session or so.

What i've done: i've installed just about every combination of ROM and Radio i can find - including all of the 6.1 radios with Dutty's 6.1, the "official" vodafone 6.1 rom, alex's, schaps, and i've tried going back to 6.0 roms and the 1.27.12.32 and .11 radios but still the same

what is the verdict? bricked? or am i missing something....

<crosses fingers>
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kjb86:
I don't think it's bricked.. if it was bricked your device wouldn't even turn on.

Did you hard reset after each flash?

Was it working before your original flash?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wilbur:
answers to both: yes

- working fine before i flashed it

- I've been obeying Dutty's rebooting advice - how could I ignore instruction given in bold AND capitals? :)

I'm having the same problems. Thinking of putting origional ROM with radio back on and removing hardspl and returning under warrenty but cant find origional splash screen anywhere! Help would be appreciated
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] martyotaku:
had the same problem with my tilt...changed sim card ...different roms ...radios ...basically everthing i could do....but in the end called at&t and they sent me a replacement...goodluck
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kyphur:
I had a similiar situation but with my GPS.

The Tilt I bought just 1 month ago was a GPS Champ, always acquired a lock quick. I had flashed XDA-Live v1.5 right over the at&t 1.62 Rom (after HardSPL of course).

Then I used th enew SIM/CID Unlocker (with the hacked Polaris Radio) and of course flashed back to the at&t Radio (from the leaked at&t 1.60 Rom).

Since then I had a coupel of times where the GPS locked-up and required a soft reset.

So yesterday I flashed a WM6.1 Rom and a Niki Radio as I've seen a lot of user report excellent results.

It made my GPS useless. I quickly reflashed XDA Live v1.5 (with the Radio from the at&t 1.60 Rom) but my GPS still seemed lost.

Ironically today is day #29 of the 30 on this Tilt so last night I removed HardSPL and flashed the Official at&t 1.62 Released Rom using the Official exe and everything figuring I'd returnt he unit today.

Wouldn't you know it, I tested the GPS and even on the untouched at&t Rom it was working better than it had ever worked before!

Now I know that the Radio in at&t 1.60, 1.61 & 1.62 are *supposed* to be the exact same but I can say that the over from at&t 1.62 fixed a problem that the 1.60 Rom's radio couldn't. Yes, I do a hard reset after each flash already.

Heck when my daughters return from Disney I'm going to flash the 1.62 version fo the at&t Radio onto my oldest's Kaiser and see if it improved her GPS also.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] austinsnyc:
seems like everyone who replied has a tilt not a VIII. Are you sure your settings are correct for your network? that would be my first guess at this point :) input them manually and dont use the connection wizard app as sometimes it doesnt work right. also check your phone settings make sure its set to AUTO or UTMS only if all else falls force it into 3G mode using the Band settings post your results back please :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gladesmellzgood:
hey I am having a similar problem at my house when i first got my tilt i have a very strong 3G signal here. That tilt messed up sent it in and this new one that i got worked just fine till i flashed a new rom on it now it wont pick up 3G unless i go somewhere else and come back to my apt. And yes i HardSPL'ed it and hard reset after flashing. I even went back to stock tilt rom and that didn't work. I have tried all the radio's on this forum from stock to the new imported NIKI radio's nothing has brought it back. When I go get the 3G signal elsewhere and comeback god forbid i have to soft reset because there goes 3G out the window and locked to edge. Should i return to AT&T for an exchange or is there a fix i'm not finding?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kyphur:
The Tilt Roms by default don't allow manual band selection.

Bad Data settings wouldn't cause poor reception just inability to connect (regardless of 3G or Edge/Gprs) for data sessions.

Based on my experience I would say first test is to do the work and reset your phone to the latest shipped Carrier Rom for your Carrier and see if your problems persist.

When I was having my GPS issues I also had a few wierd Call issues like calls not disconnecting (I had to toggle the phone radio to actually end the call).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] farkah:
I had the same issue with a t-mobile(UK) viii. The issue appeared after a while using the phone before I'd got into flashing different ROMS. In the end, i had the unit swapped out and the problems went away and have not returned. You can assume its a hardware issue. I went through the is it your SIM, is it this... is it that... after explaining that basically i was right next to a 3G transceiver in a big city.

Like I mentioned, this was a fault which developed after two months of no issues.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wilbur:
thanks for all the feedback - shame there isn't a fix ..

austinsnyc: thanks for your help...

- i was using the connection wizard (difference i've noticed was that it includes a proxy server which i don't when i set up manually) so i created a new connection manually

- i've changed to 3G-only and i got "no service" (though i have previously got it to work)

- i put it on auto, it registered 2G then showed 3G signal in the taskbar. Tried to connect to my manually created connection - no joy: "cannot connect for an unknown reason etc".... then i got "no signal" for about 30 seconds, then full bars of gsm, then shows 3G again....

changed back to gsm only - works fine.

I'm not exactly sure t-mobile are going to take it back!... i'll have to hunt down the original t-mobile uk rom first....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gladesmellzgood:
got my new tilt in yesterday and it works totally fine like i thought in my apt. If you could wilbur i would definitely get a new one i think its the phone itself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gladesmellzgood:
lol so i checked to see if switching off the 3g on my new kaiser then switching back would cause the same problem and it sure did so now im stuck with edge in my damn apt. again. I wonder if these new kaiser's they're shipping out are different than the old ones, when i first bought mine at launch oct.5, 07 i could switch back and forth between 3g. Now with 3 new tilts i have gotten i cant do it anymore this blows:mad::mad: Damn i should have never given that first one away damn:mad::mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wilbur:
so annoying...

i upgraded to the latest Dutty Rom (the 6.1 hybrid) - sure enough, straight away after flashing i was able to use 3G to make and receive calls, and to make a data call (but it was really slow)... then, within 30 minutes, i was back to the old phone: cannot connect a 3G call and no connection to data... so annoying - i'd almost prefer it didn't work at all than tempt me with the prospect that one day i'll find a rom that works...

anyway - I'm going to need to replace it - anyone know which rom/radio combo i'd need to flash to convince the guys at T-Mobile to take my VIII back? and btw - does anyone have any experience of trying to return handsets covered in scratches?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mobilemaduk:
can anyone tell me if these problems are linked to Flashing ROMS? Since i had my last Vario 3 replaced ive been apprehensive about flashing if this is what broke the last one but i really want to flash it again.

I am trying to flash my ZTE ufire with Firefox os. The moment I try to enable debugging from the settings it gets off automatically, so adb cannot read it. Further whenever I try to get in recovery mode by pressing power and volume button there came a round ! without any option l. Now how to flash new ROM in it.
[General Questions and Answers] mohhaxs:
To flash ZTE phones, you would need an SD card. The file would have to be an update.zip package and you would put it in the root of your SD card. Then you go to Settings => About Phone => System updates => Storage card updates., then tap OK.

Can anyone give me a little guidance:

UK Vodafone supplied S7 Edge, not rooted. Received Oreo update this morning, phone is now stuck in a bootloop - it will get as far as the "Android is starting... optimising applications", that goes away and then it just reboots.

I've been in to the recovery menu and tried wiping the cache partition - to which it reports "could not find /misc partition". Attempting to mount system partition reports the same thing.

Do I have any chance of resurrecting this? the firmware isn't yet on sammobile but I was wondering if updating via ADB or sdcard would help.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] SwannyBhoy:
Hey Lammy696,

My mother is on Vodafone UK with the S7 Edge and is experiencing the bootloop. I would advise not to update for the time being.

I would strongly advise decrypting your SD card prior to updating.

I have tried wiping cache etc as per normal update process but that failed. Only options I have is to flash a custom recovery, mount the storage and backup (if I can do this) or to wipe it completely.

If you want to keep your warranty and support, do not use the custom recovery option.

Good luck.
