Yippee, reteu made its way to Norway too.

But, and this is one huge butt, did anyone here install Magisk and the systemless beta of Xposed with some Xposed modules? If Xpricacy Lua and GravityBox don't work, I will wait until Xposed gets out of beta ...
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
I did install twrp then Magisk v16 + enable this from terminal in twrp ( echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk

echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk ) then flashed f2fs kernel workaround, then flash unsintall magisk, and flash magisk again + kernerl workaround then reboot).

No xposed though.

i did factory reset, and so far i am not sure..

last night my battery drained, and today the charger took too long to refill only up to 1/3, but now i spend the whole day using it without it drop AT ALL!!

so my battery % must be busted and need couple charges to fix itself, so i cant offer any info about battery life

other than that, i believe its a tiny bit laggy now, probably moto used more aggressive battery friendly governors, etc
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] astmacca:
Wot he said. :)

Looks good so far. Battery in settings is telling me i have 4 days left?? :) I use my phone pretty much as a phone and camera so i'd be a light user.

However, will see how its goes and am not expecting 4 days in the real world. Still, if i get 2 days will be satisfied 8 as good as 7, and if better...whoopee. :)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
You reminding to one real life anecdote. When guy, he was "a bit" drunk, said that battery on his phone lasts for months. When we asked, wtf man?! He said: well, battery is the same, I'm just putting the phone on the charger every night :D

RETLA FINALLY got the update. Got it this morning. So far so good. Hope we get a later security update though...
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
Not likely, last sec patch was April 1, now is end of June...
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] gigitravels:
I made the upgrade (Moto Z Play) and it mostly seems fine but the navigation bar buttons are less responsive. Sometimes you need to press them two or three times before they react, they just feel less reactive. Anybody else experiencing this? Really annoying. Hopefully this gets patched..
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
Yeah, it's happening to me as well. I haven't noticed that before to report :(

Maybe is just because "anti-burn-in" feature and we are pressing on the wrong spot...
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Sometimes it may be hit or miss, the position is not that great.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
Exactly, buttons are moving left/right. I remember it was reported and asked can touch area remain the same even button is moved a bit.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] fraunhofer777:
Fair enough. Good thing I've got a z2 force dual sim waiting for me :)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] gigitravels:
- Navigation buttons less responsive

- Gmail no longer has custom label notifications in Oreo, had to program these with Tasker

- Notification area is ugly white, read: ugly. Only Google can be so screwed up when it comes to design, no else can do it that bad

Advantages of upgrade: none? Nothing practical added in this version, except fingerprint sensor is somewhat faster when unlocking.

Just telling it like it is.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] jceballos:
Yeah noticed the same, got bored of that and now I'm using navigation gestures beta which has oneplus gestures (the beta from the telegram group)

Great battery life on Oreo

I originally started with Nougat and my battery life was really good. Then suddenly my phone's screen turned off for several seconds if any physical pressure was applied to the proximity sensor (was really weird) and I sent it in for repair. They repaired it and flashed a Nougat firmware over the existing one. After the repair the battery life was notably worse! I decided to upgrade to Oreo (reteu) without factory reset and now the battery performance is back to awesome :) I get around 6h SOT within 3 days of use (without turning the phone of at night). So I can definetely recommend to update!

Got June update right now on RETLA

Damn, you beat me to it. I also just got the June update last night. So much for no more security updates :).

also TWRP instead of stock recovery.

what's the procedure to update then?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Agusti94:
Same Question
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] jceballos:
I think it would be:

1. Uninstall xposed

2. Uninstall magisk

3. Flash stock recovery

4. Install june security update

5. Flash twrp

6. Install magisk

7. Install xposed

Can someone confirm?

I tried cleaning cache & dalvik few times with twrp, it fixes for 1 to 2 days and the problems came back afterwards. Anyone have the same problem with me?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
No, around 80 is normal. System is caching apps. Try to remove magisk or something else which may cause your problems.

Any chance retbr also gets FM Radio in the future?

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Of course the Rom is still 32bit and it will be forever. There's no way to do it via a software update.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] JonasVFC:
that must be the screen burn in protection
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] abhighosh96:
I know about screen burn in, but how is it protected?

Also, I never noticed burn in on this phone.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] vivebatu:
Well, we have a 64 bit custom ROM, so definitely possible via a software update
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] djdelarosa25:
That's new in Oreo. Screen burn-in protection

How about you try to Google how?

That depends on usage habits.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] vivebatu:
So this ad is now showing up on the phone every now and then, good stuff
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rodrigo9411:
It's not the same, the rom requires a special Recovery and a complete factory reset to work, i dbout regular people would be happy with an update that factory resets their phone.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] vivebatu:
I agree but 1) 64 bit is definitely possible with software, 2) why not give the customer the option? Who knows somebody might want to get the 64 bit at the cost of a full reset ?

Overall though Motorola needs to be commended for updating a 1.5 yr old phone
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
They will not give you the option because it's not safe. If there are risks involved then it won't happen. No product manager will agree with that.

Also Lenovo wants you to upgrade as fast as possible to a new phone, that's where the money comes from.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] PRo_Artsy:
So Now they're giving screen burn-in protection. Mine burned ages ago. And service centers denied stating that it is a type of display to align software keys. They also showed me their phones with same issue and I was like, "Who are these unique set of lives!"

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] formula2:
Why?:confused:
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
- worse battery life;

- more bloatware stuff;

- not compatible with Xposed yet;
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Baronik:
The first is sad, but strange, since some users reports better battery life, some doesn't see difference, you report worse:confused: Second is inevitable if it will be in official release, but manageable (turning off or hiding icons with Launcher3 I use). Third is completely irrelevant for me, I'm not going to modify soft.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] formula2:
I would not agree to battery consumption. I think it is the same or almost the same as Nougat.

Specifically, which bloatware can not be controlled?

At this point, I do not care about the third. :)

Anyway, thanks for the information.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_m:
Xposed for Oreo is available as beta. Even a systemless Magisk version is available.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
You're right. I've tried and tested both with only few modules installed and it's not ready for a daily driver device.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_m:
Too bad. Thanks for testing though!

Which modules did you try? At least XprivacyLua and GravityBox are important modules to me ... but also quite "invasive" :)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] djdelarosa25:
Battery life is worse compared to Nougat. I can confirm. I already did a factory data reset and there is no difference.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
You're welcome :)

GravityBox (looks like this is the most compatible module for Oreo so far)

X Messenger Privacy (causes many FC)

My Day Off (causes many FC)

XInsta (causes many FC)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Baronik:
It's sad to hear that kind of information... If more people will report considerable worse battery life, then I'll reconsider upgrading.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] :
IMO, it's quite worse than Nougat. I think it uses about 20-25% more than the previous version...
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Have you performed a clean install with factory reset?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] djdelarosa25:
I have. On Nougat I could get around 7 hours SoT with heavy use, Oreo gets around 5.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
That's quite bad. But I'll take my chances and factory reset before and after and come back with results, when reteu receives the OTA.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rodrigo9411:

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
You will be for sure able to update via OTA to the next version once it's available.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] djdelarosa25:
Maybe it's due to the battery drain. I hope they roll out a new build that fixes those issues.

Thank for the answers.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] michalw2:
I'm on reteu and the update is still not available.

Do they have to release separate software version for each update channel (retapac/reteu) or it just that they want to avoid people all over the world start downloading the software at the same time (and causing performance issues)?

Phone vendors are very greedy these days and they want customer to buy new phones every year.

I would rather wish that updates would be part of paid service. We would get Oreo like 6 months ago.

If something is for free it's usually not worth it.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] djdelarosa25:
You do have a point. It would make sense to let retin (India) and retbr (Brazil) download the update first since they have the bigger populations. Though, this is nothing more than a guess.
