But after updating the ROM only I'm facing this problem..before it was giving me good battery backup...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] M.Dias:
I did it few days ago, same problem, the mobile network standby need some optimization, to use less battery, actually if you let mobile data on, it will drop your battery in like 30 ~ 35% of max
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jack_04:
When the final version of this ROM will be released. Any idea?

Apart from slow camera issue, I am facing a issue while receiving calls, blank screen is displayed when I someone calls me. There is no information about who is calling and there is no button to receive the call. This is an intermittent issue. Anyone facing the same?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Arivendu:

No, I am using the default phone app.

Which TWRP recommended for this?

I'm on Lineage OS without root. Bootloader is unlocked. Can I install this thru current TWRP? Or it is compulsory to upgrade TWRP which you mentioned in OP? Pls help
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
The OP doesn't mention any upgrades as such, if you come from Android 7, just backup your efs beforehand
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kolheRk:
Thanks for replying but current TWRP 3.0 don't have option for backing up efs. Well, I tried to flashing this TWRP which mentioned in OP. But I'm stuck at 'waiting for devices' while flashing recovery. :eek: I have installed proper device drivers, minimal adb and fastboot drivers too. But still when I drop command in terminal fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It comes in waiting for devices. :rolleyes::rolleyes::(
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
CHECK FOR THE FOLLOWING ERRORS:-

1) Is your twrp file named recovery.img

2) Does the file exist in the Adb folder

3) The phone sometimes gets stuck on the bootloader screen, try the command "fastboot devices" to check if it's connected, just reboot the phone to bootloader again.

If not these, hit me up again
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
The computer is not able to recognize your device. Check for your device in device manager (if you are using windows). If drivers are installed as you say, it might be either unrecognized or not show up at all.

You can also manually backup efs and persist by the following command. The TWRP which has option for efs backup, does backup persist along with efs.

Type the following commands in a terminal app:

su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/modemst1.img
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/modemst2.img
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img

These commands will place modemst1.img, modemst2.img and persist.img in your internal storage (i.e /sdcard) directory

modemst1 and modemst2 together are your efs. But don't just backup efs, backup persist along with it too as the problems caused with imei are actually due to changes in persist by the ROM.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kolheRk:
Thank you so much for the reply. I tried on current TWRP 3.0 and it succeed af. No issue found related IMEI. ROM is butter. Nothing I backup before flashing this TWRP flashabel zip.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
It will definitely work for now, and you won't have any IMEI problems now. You will surely lose IMEI after flashing Stock ROM again via fastboot. Just follow this thread (don't try anything stupid) when you get your IMEI=0, [Guide] [XT16XX] [Solve] Moto G4/Plus IMEI=0 issue

are they gonna release the update anytime soon? i'm reading all the news about many devices either testing Pie or officially receiving it, i'm being embarrassed waiting for Oreo in late 2018
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
Maybe you didn't read it https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/...4-oreo-soak-test-update-t3871136/post78436273

The problem is, that only lenovo can make the update public, no one else. And you can be sure that there will never be official pie for this device cause it's too old.

It was shipped with marshmallow, received official nougat and now(maybe) official Oreo, that's normal for a mid range device.

Don't expect pie now.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
did YOU even read my comment? i didn't say i want Pie, i said other companies are rolling it while we're still waiting for Oreo... i know what i'm talking about i have this device since 2016

and of course it's Lenovo who can make the update public, i'm not sure why you even mentioned that, i've been an Android user since 2012, and again, i know what i'm talking about
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
So if you know what you're talking about and know that lenovo can make the update public and you are an android user since 2012, why you asking this question?

I don't understand what answer you expect with your question:

"are they gonna release the update anytime soon?"
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
well.. you should expect stupid questions like this especially the update is too old and the company has taken its sweet time "developing" it, when they could've simply done with it this summer when it was relatively new before Pie was announced, the device is too old, the update is too old, they almost didn't wanna send and they're taking all the time they want... people are losing their patience because this actually the last update we'll ever receive so people wanna have it early to end the suffering of waiting

Installed it on Moto G4 dual sim XT1622 2gb ram, 16gb rom, locked bootloader, via OTA update. Works well, no more ghosting. Camera and flashlight take 3-5 seconds to react and it gets annoying in whatsapp, for example.

Do you know, when the official update gets released and posted around here, will I be able to install that? I was just about the buy another phone today because of the screen ghosting but now it works great. If camera would work ok, it would be perfect.

''1. Make sure you are on NPJS25.93-14-18 build number.

I've installed this soak test version without rooting my device and without unlocking bootloader. Will I get the official build from motorola if they release a different version of this build ?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Likely no - the official OTA servers may not recognise your build since it's the soak test. Thus, you may not receive updates unless you can flash the remaining soak test updates (to bring yourself up to the official build, no guarantee that the updates would be leaked), flash the Oreo fastboot stock ROM (only will be released/leaked when the soak test is completed) or a risky downgrade to Nougat (which would require you unlocking your bootloader).

Safest method would be to wait for the official Oreo fastboot stock ROM to be leaked.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] santiagog242:
Well, for some reason at first try it worked but a second time when I did a factory reset and installed Xposed again it didn't work. I was frustrated and installed other modules like "init.d injector", "Viper4Android FX", "Magisk props hide" and BusyBox. Time later I tried to install again Xposed and it worked! I don't know which one of those modules helped Xposed to work, but I hope this help.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] diego.avgo:
That happened because Xposed was left with superuser permissions. When one gives you root rights Xposed freezes and that is what you have to avoid. If you can give permission through MagiskSU It is much better. regards
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] brundark:
I installed normally on magisk, the trick is on restart, the first restart to enable the xposed module should normally be done using "normal reboot", then open the xposed and you will get a yellow error, click the three dots to show the settings of the xposed, and go on 'fast reboot', it will work. And you will not be able to do a normal 'reboot', whenever you need to restart, use the option 'fast reboot'.

it's important you always have the magisk uninstaller ( https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/amp/)

Brother, you can do it in another way. Download the soak build and put it into your root storage. Now go to application and find "motorola updater service".

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
Do not recommend that method to those who have their bootloader unlocked. It will cause their bootloader and gpt partitions to upgrade, and unlocked bootloader means you are already risking many things like hard brick and if that happens, the current blank flash wouldn't work.

I had once got my device hard bricked by doing simply nothing. I was on Custom ROM and had to use blankflash. When this happened, I had my device on nougat's firmware so blank flash worked. If something similar is to happen with anybody else after upgrading to Oreo soak test by the method you mentioned, they have pretty much lost their device unless we get a new blank flash.

For sound issues, keep whatever is playing and without pausing it call a number and then end the call, the media volume will increase and stay at the proper level until a new notification comes. This is just a workaround and not a solution.
