Now this was interesting.

I finally got the OTA to 8.1, it's been "Eh..." the phone has slowly been acting weird. Sometimes I wouldn't get any audible notifications, but then start. Random reboots. Just plain weirdness.

Just now, I noticed that in my SMS it was just showing phone numbers with no names. Went into my contacts and noticed that 90% of them were gone. Rebooted the phone, waited, and then the contacts came back, but still no contact names in my SMS list.

I was poking around trying to figure out what was the issue, then the phone rebooted, again. But this time, it was taking longer to reboot, and I finally realized that the phone reset itself back to factory!! And no... I wasn't even in the system settings screen what-so-ever.

Oh well, I was thinking about resetting anyway. I guess the phone read my mind and did it for me.

I am not use any case, & while charging also not use my phone,

Bcaz when battery is below 40/50 % it automatically sudden switch off,

I use my phone when battery is above 60%

I think somewhere is also software problem, bcaz when I check my battery into a service center they say battery is in fine condition, and also Moto help app say that
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Even if the help app says your battery is okay, your issues do seem to be battery or at least power related - they seem similar to the iPhone battery issue, where older batteries were unable to supply enough power to the device and caused sudden shutdowns. Especially as you've mentioned it happens at a certain percentage.

Do the shutdowns still occur if your device is on low power but connected to a charger?

As mentioned before, did you flash the fastboot stock ROM? Flashing the stock firmware should rule out any software issues - if your shutdown issues persist, that points to a hardware issue (and since it's an issue linked to a certain battery percentage, I'd look at the battery first or the battery connections. Hope it's not the motherboard...)

I am kinda Newbie in manual Software update.

So i was waiting for OTA official one, but now i have to do it manually.

I am on totally unmodified Stock 7.0 .

But the link for stock 7.0 NPJS25.93-14-18 is not working. Update is not available in that link.

If anybody can help, It would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Hi I've updated almost since a week.

I have to say the update satisfies me and it looks working good.

2 points I don't like:

-The battery drain, anyway it is slightly improving after some days and honestly it was already decreasing faster on nougat (not so faster though) so it could be due my battery but it still provides 2 days for my use.

-The camera, if I record a video there is a sort of white noise and it is really annoying.

Any way to unistall the camera and to reinstall? Previously on nougat it was possible to uninstall the latest update and revert to the first camera app, unfortunately I do not see the way to do that now or maybe there is not an initial camera app because this one comes directly with oreo.

Regards

Is Fastboot Link Ok?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Nvd2080:
No sir...

Here i have found the Link for OTA for Totally unmodified 7.0 to 8.1

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jP...imMX403GObjZx6

I want to update via placing the update in Internal storage - simplest method i can do ☺️

I have query about it that is this the OTA update that i can use?

And is it safe ?

Will update install correctly?

Any problems that may appear via this method that may not encounter in other methods.

BTW i am stock 7.0 with totally unmodified and locked bootloader with NPJS 25.93-14-18 with 1 april 2018 security patch.

Thank you.:o

The Link Above doesn't work, Flash This Zip File in the stock recovery or place it on the Internal Storage and then give storage permission to "Moto Update Services".

:svetius:
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
That's the link for the fastboot stock ROM, can't be flashed in recovery or via the updater. You need fastboot.

---------- Post added at 06:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

If the link you're referring to is https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jP6Ekc_um-VXnOqWrGimMX403GObjZx6/view , a 904 MB file, that should be the update from NPJS25.93-14-18 to OPJ28.111-22.

Since this is an OTA update from Motorola (and signed by them), it should be safe to update with that OTA update as you've described. However, a number of users have appeared to have hard bricked for an unknown reason whilst trying to use this OTA update. If you really want to be safe, use the fastboot stock ROM as linked above and flash via fastboot.

You will need to, as mentioned in the opening post, make sure that the OTA download is copied to your internal storage, and the storage permission given to the Motorola update services system app.

Using the OTA update should keep your data. As with any major update, you may encounter instabilities and thus may have to wipe your data. Thus, ensure you have a backup of your data.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Nvd2080:
Okk thank you sir.

But Google drive link that i found showing 904 MB size

And lolinet link you gave has 1.11 GB

So which one i have to use to place the update in the Internal storage.?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Use the Google drive link (the file starting with Blur) which is the OTA that can be placed in internal storage as described in the opening post. The 1.1 GB file as I mentioned above is the fastboot stock ROM - the fastboot stock ROM needs to be flashed via the bootloader.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Nvd2080:
Okkk great . I got it.

Thank you so much guys.

Problem on the chip

Hello friends, I have problem on the chip to make a connection, both in slot1 and slot2 does not connect, when I try to connect the message appears asking to disable the airplane mode, which is not activated. And all the chips I tested have the same problem. Remember that the operator and the number of the chip the cell detects. I've done all the downgrade, upgrade, but nothing worked. I ask friends if they already have some newer version of OREO in front of thene-8.1.0-OPJ28.111-22. I've been thinking a lot about Base Band. Because I saw some here in the country, where at the end of the Base Band version had Brazil. Does anyone know how to change this baseband ??? I have no phone since the 03/18/2019, when the update came via OTA.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] BadFranch:
Anyone knows why my compilation number is NPJS25.93-14-8.1-9 (April 2018 patch) and how can I update it to NPJS25.93-14-18?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
You're on a separate firmware branch (think it's a firmware for south America) - your firmware is the same security patch as NPJS25.93-14-18. You could wait for the OTA to arrive to your region, or you may have to unlock your bootloader and flash the NPJS25.93-14-18 firmware.

The other way, if you don't want to wait for the OTA and don't want to unlock your bootloader, is to directly flash the OPJ28.111-22 firmware directly to your device. Omit the fastboot erase userdata and fastboot oem lock begin steps if you want to save your data. https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 for the OPJ28.111-22 firmware (use the lolinet link). Flash at your own risk, I do not know if this will be/is the same firmware deployed to your region.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
What firmware are you running on your device? If you're running NPJS25.93-14-18 then you can download the OTA update : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jP6Ekc_um-VXnOqWrGimMX403GObjZx6/view Copy this to your internal storage and follow the instructions on the opening page.

What error are you getting on updating? If you keep getting errors, you are better off flashing the Oreo fastboot firmware https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 (use the lolinet link) or if you don't wish to formally update, you can use the TWRP flashable of the Oreo firmware: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-oreo-8-1-0-soak-test-t3873367

I haven't flashed it but I am asking if anything's goes wrong will I be able to revert back to official nougat version?also the official Oreo link says it's not available I think it's removed
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you're referring to the fastboot Oreo firmware, did you try the lolinet link as I mentioned? The main link is down, hence why I wrote to use the lolinet mirror.

If anything goes wrong, you'd have to unlock the bootloader to downgrade. Your device will be erased when you unlock the bootloader and if you downgrade, I would advise you do not use OTA updates. I can't recommend downgrading and as such we may not be able to support you, especially if you use OTA updates whilst downgraded.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Nvd2080:
I have entered in to Fastboot mode by Pressing Power button and Volume Down button. But i don't know How to apply software update from there. Can you help me please . If u have link for the steps of Fastboot please provide me.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you're trying to flash the fastboot firmware, please view the instructions here https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

Bootloader is not required to be locked or unlocked since you're flashing whole files to your device. If you want to try to keep your data, omit the fastboot OEM lock commands and the fastboot erase userdata command.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
To the best of my knowledge, it is the OPJ28.111-22 firmware that is the stable released build. I've seen it deployed in Brazil, India and the EU at least.

Since you were a soak tester, you should have gotten this build via OTA. If you're still suffering the same issues, if suggest a full clean flash of the Oreo fastboot firmware to resolve firmware issues and get your battery replaced, to rule out power issues.

That's the soak test build. No updates unless you were part of the soak test program. Easiest way to update without unlocking your bootloader would be to flash the OPJ28.111-22 firmware via fastboot.

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 for the firmware, user the lolinet link to download. If you want to keep your data, omit the fastboot erase userdata command.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Samruddh:
Thank you for the response..

So..after doing this update can we get official updates via OTA?!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
This is the official build for India, Brazil, EU and UK at least, so should be OTA eligible. Not sure if we'll get any more updates since our device is over 2 years old and is neither android one or Android enterprise. Already listed on Motorola's website that security patches have ceased.

Stock Oreo seems to be running okay, some users have reported low volume, but unknown what causes it. What are you looking for, gaming performance?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] slimbobaggins:
I said elsewhere in the forum, but my speakerphone is useless now. Anything that uses it, be it media, call, alarm, etc is automatically attenuated to the lowest volume possible, with no way to increase it.

Apparently Oero offers some new audio focus options for apps, and they seem to be haywire, at least on my phone.

Bluetooth performance is supposed to be better, but in my experience, it's worse. For example, on Nougat, my phone would be linked to both my car stereo and my bluetooth earpiece, and when I would receive calls, the audio would auto-route to the bluetooth earpiece. Now, I have to shut off the car stereo, or I can't hear anything, despite the fact that phone calls are disabled for the stereo bluetooth profile. Also, bluetooth syncing was seamless and required zero effort on Nougat; now, I have to manually tell my phone to connect to my car stereo, otherwise it usually doesn't connect. Just overall poor bluetooth performance.

Youtube casting to Chromecast is unusable now... terrible frame rates, audio not synced properly. No issues prior to Oreo upgrade. Also casting Youtube to Roku is disabled; prior to Oreo I had the ability to.

Google maps now asks me to enable wifi scanning every single time I use it now; this annoyance is new.

Battery performance is supposed to be improved, but built-in system battery stats have been neutered. Can't tap on the battery icon for details anymore, app battery useage is extremely inaccurate, doesn't show the extra details the way Nougat did. My phone wakelocked the other day and burned half of the battery, and I had no way to determine which app caused it.

Full disclosure: I haven't tried reloading Oreo. Perhaps I'd have better performance if I did.

I have updated my moto G4 Plus to Oreo 8.1 thanks to you guys.

One problem i have noticed which persists even in oreo 8.1 and was present on Nougat 7.0 is GHOST TOUCH.

Now mine one is little bit different from others.

Ghost touch starts as soon as i use my phone in outdoors. As soon as auto brightness increase the level of brightness it starts and whole Phone becomes tremendously hot. I have to lock the screen and again have to unlock for temporary relief. After Seconds it again starts. Literally i can't use my phone in outdoor conditions. I also have Tried to Off the Auto brightness. But then i have to increase brightness to level that i can see anything on phone(30-35% i think) and ghost touch again starts.

While charging It is completely fine. Phone becomes mad only in Outdoor conditions in bright Environment. I was hoping that issue might be solved after Oreo update but not. I think its a screen Fault may be I don't know.

Is there any Solution for this?

I have heard of Kernel Adiutor can fix this problem, but it requires root.

So any other solution available?

Thank you.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] slimbobaggins:
I had ghost touch really bad right after I bought my phone, and I opened a warranty case with Motorola, and they replaced it. I think it's a physical hardware problem and there's not much you can do about it.

After upgrading to the final version of Oreo 8.1 via TWRP, slot - 1 SIMCARD, it stopped working, SLOT - 2 only.

Before upgrading to the final version, I was using the previous version soak test, and in it, sometimes it presented this same problem, but most of the time it was just restarting the device that returned to normal the 2 SIMCARDs work.

Now with this final version, Slot - 1 is dead.

Any solution to this problem?

thank you
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TinoSantos:
Problems with ghost touch are related to static electricity problems, this is the reason why they usually appear when the charger is plugged in. Try using it with Energy Saver on, in my case the vibrator is the problem, the motor generates static and that "activate" the ghost touch, make sure the charging port is clean, because it could also be a source of static electricity in devices with OTG (like our phone), clean screen borders, headset hole and speaker hole. If none of that works, it might a hardware problem i think. (Sorry for my poor english), Good luck!

I have the same problem, i Upgraded first via OTA, SIMCARD Slot 1 also stopped working but on my device the slot 2 is broken ...

I already tried everything, after the problems with the official 8.1 via OTA i tried to downgrade to Stock Rom 7.0, unlocked bootloader , downgraded to 7.0 and it still doesnt get signal on Simcard and when i check the IMEI it was 0, so i installed TWRP and flashed Arrow OS 9.0 triyng to get IMEI and Simcard signal back, Clean flash i got my IMEI back but the Simcard doesnt get signal, recognizes but i cant do calls or use 4g keeps all the time "No Signal"

You'd likely have to flash magisk to hide the unlocked bootloader status and also get your play store certified. After that should be able to use Netflix.

On the Oreo stock ROM, should be able to root without needing a custom kernel, though up to you if you want to flash a custom kernel.
