Hi Karin,

Thanks for the followup. The message from xlilfly... is a concern. Were there any replies that contained further information?

By the way, I replaced one of my three phones. The one I replaced didn't need extra RAM so I purchased the latest Xfinity model (Moto G Stylus 5G - 2023 with 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage) and inserted the SIM card from the previous Xfinity phone. I had a similar experience as you -- the Xfinity Mobile app still lists the previous LG Stylo 5 phone with its number.

And I was disappointed with the Google Setup app which ran during the activation. If you transfer data from the previous phone to the new, it can only transfer the text of SMS and MMS messages. Any attached photos or files are left behind. I'll have to purchase a third-party app to handle the transfer with my other two phones because they are loaded with attached photos and videos that my family still wants to be available in the Messages app.

As tempting as your unlocked 2022 Moto G Stylus 5G is (because of its 8 GB of RAM), I'm thinking about passing on it and getting a couple of unlocked 2023 models with 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage because it will be sufficient and they are on sale now at Motorola and Amazon.

However, it would be a disaster if xlilfly...'s experience happens to us (the cellular data connection stops working). This means my family might not be able to communicate when we are away from home (when we would normally be using the Xfinity cell network). We only need wi-fi when we're at home because our home is located where there is no cell coverage (from any carrier).

Another question: Can you turn off the 5G radio on your phone? I cannot find a way to do so on my 2023 model. I hate the idea of wasting the battery when, most of the time, there is no 5G coverage in my part of western Michigan.

Kind regards, David

David, I did read the comments when I was on the thread, but nothing enlightening. I guess I'm just crossing my fingers that it doesn't happen to me. The fact that NONE of the Xfinity agents I worked with gave even a hint of my phone not being compatible makes me more comfortable.

On your next point, I asked every agent at the Xfinity store and they all said you can't turn off 5g. My brother did, on his Pixel 7, so I keep searching. Would you want to post that question here on XDA Forum?

And I guess I lost my MMS pics, because I used the setup wizard to transfer my data. But if I hadn't saved it to my gallery at that point, I guess I want to interested!

Look forward to hearing that it all works for you!

Hi Karin,

Thanks again. I guess I'm just going to have to try it and, if problems arise, I'll have to take a loss and sell it. So I ordered one unlocked 2023 Moto G Stylus 5G direct from Motorola last night. I'll test it for a couple of weeks and, if all is well, order a second.

Regarding the 5G radio, I enabled "Developer" mode on my phone to see if it added a 5G on/off control in the Settings. As far as I can tell, it did not. To investigate further may require rooting the phone. I've done that before (to a Droid X and two different Galaxy Note model years). But that was when I used Verizon (before Xfinity Mobile existed). The downside to rooting is that you won't get Android updates (including security updates) and some carriers will disable some features if they detect a rooted phone. I've never attempted to use a rooted phone on Xfinity and, even though they use the Verizon network, I'm not sure that I want the hassle right now. But it sure would be nice to be able to use Titanium Backup Pro again and be able to selectively disable any system component.

Regarding the MMs links, I agree fully---anything worth saving should be copied to a safer location. But, for convenience (especially in ongoing group threads with extended family), it is still desirable to keep some photos and videos linked to the original MMS message. I'm thinking about trying iMobie's AnyDroid software here to see if it does what they claim and copy all the media with the texts and preserve the links. If I do, I'll test it on my phone first, before attempting to use it on the other phones in my family. I don't expect it to work with anything encrypted (like Signal), but, if their claims are true, it should work with the unencrypted stuff. The AnyDroid program must be run on a computer under MS Windows or Apple's OS and the computer supervises the transfer. So the source and destination phones are connected to the computer. If desired, a backup can be stored on the computer. It isn't free (a single perpetual license is $39.99 as I write, or you can rent it for $29.99 for one year). I've never used AnyDroid and cannot vouch for it. I learned about it while searching for ways to transfer message content for Android phones.

To other readers in the U.S. who may be thinking about buying one of these unlocked phones: Motorola has a sale on right now (20-Aug-2023) and the Moto G Stylus 5G is marked down $100. They only sell the unlocked version to the public with 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, which lists for $399.99, so the price is $299.99 during the sale (same as Amazon). But, if you give Motorola your email address and sign up to receive their newsletter before the purchase, they will offer you a 5% discount (in addition to any sale price) for your first purchase direct from them. That knocked another $15 off the price, bringing the total down to $284.99. The 5% discount will arrive in their welcome email after you sign up. You click on the link in the email and it takes you to the Motorola website with the additional 5% markdown visible.

Kind regards, David

I think I found something helpful: see attached. They mention an app, but I got into the Phone Information options using the sequence shown. YMMV

Also, this might help your decision making:

Allowing for the specs on the 239.99 2022 model, the comparison made it simple for me to go with the older phone:

Wow, you are a veritable encyclopedia on these Moto phones! I just read several trusted reviewers who suggested the 2022 over the 2023 models of the same Moto G stylus 5G phones, that's all. I would've loved to have found a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, but even at 3 years old they were going for nearly $1000. I can live with a mediocre camera and keep my $1000 in my pocket!

My phone is still on LTE using the Phone Information trick, but the defaulted order you described is the same on my UNlocked Moto G stylus 5G 2022. It hasn't been a problem having LTE listed last, but I'll be traveling tomorrow so I'll let you know.

When I have the time, I'm going to try to figure out how to create a shortcut to toggle back to 5g, cause I'm sure I'll forget the "code"...

keep me posted,

Karin

Has anyone that has successfully used an unlocked phone with Xfinity mobile had any issues with voicemail? I have an unlocked moto g stylus 5g 2022, with 8gb RAM that I've tried with the Xfinity sim card. Calling, including wifi calling, texting and data all work fine. But I have not been able to get voicemail to work. I don't get voicemail messages in my inbox and if I try calling voicemail from the phone app, I get a message saying voice mail is not available for the number. The stylus 5g 2023 from Xfinity is kind of a turd. Works for general things, but I've found that apps refresh when they lose focus (game screens wiped, etc), and Android Auto is frequently crashing. Never had these problems with the 2022 version.

Are there any work arounds to get voicemail to work? I tried setting preferred network type and the one recommended in these messages stream doesn't stick. Also tried the YouMail a

I have the same phone for about a week now, unlocked from Amazon. Initially, it was spotty - some calls got my old VM message and were able to leave a message, others got "no VM set up" message. Just checking now, and all seems to be working fine. Even transcribed, as should be, within Xfinity VM app.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] XDAv1d:
Hi psthornton,

I've had trouble with voice messaging (VM) on Xfinity Mobile for years. This is with official Xfinity phones like their LG Stylo 5. I recently replaced one of the LG Stylo 5 phones with an Xfinity 2023 Moto G Stylus 5G (so it's locked to Xfinity Mobile also). The Moto G Stylus 5G has the same trouble with VM (it happened yesterday).

Sometimes VM works. Other times (most of the time recently), the VM app says it cannot connect to the server. So the problem is not unique to phones that are

not

locked to Xfinity Mobile. I don't use VM much so I've never looked into the problem. But, based on my experience, the problem is either with the app, Xfinity or Verizon (Xfinity Mobile uses the Verizon network).

Because I have no cell coverage at my home, I use wi-fi. So, most of the time, when I try to use VM, it is via wi-fi. That may be a relevant factor.

------------------

Hi Karin,

My unlocked 2023 Moto G Stylus 5G with 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage arrived yesterday. Wahoo! Sadly, it will be a few days before I can fire it up and activate it. And I have to double-check to make sure that I have a working solution for transfering media files with MMS texts. This is complicated on the phone it replaces because it uses the Textra app for SMS and MMS instead of the default Google Messages app. And, to make it even more "fun", I also have to deal with tranfering the messages and media from the encrypted Signal app. Oh joy!

Kind regards, David

i hate verizon mvnos

i'm trying to get my unlocked metro 2022 stylus 5g to work with Spectrum, which uses verizon as well.

but the MVNOs are picky as hell. Can't get my phone to work at all. Not even voice, even though voice works perfectly fine to call Spectrum customer service. That's f'd up, right?

gsm networks don't seem to be this picky
[Moto G Stylus 5G] psthornton:
Hello guys, and thanks for your responses. I've had no issues with VM using the XM locked moto stylus 2023, in the couple of weeks we've had the phones. But when I swap the SIM card to the stylus 5g 2022, VM becomes completely inactive. No calls into VM, no access to VM. Everything else is fine.

Fatcat59, you said VM settled down on your phone after about a week for you?

I bought the stylus 5g 2022 last year, prime days. Been a great Android phone. We had US Mobile with no issues. Switched to Xfinity recently because of multiple mailings we got - one free unlimited line for 2 years. That seems a complete scam now. They won't honor it, "customer service" claims it's not even a thing. The offshore customer service has been absolutely no help. Heavy regretting the decision to switch. Has anyone else gotten these mailings? New customers only, but we haven't had Xfinity mobile for a while now. They aren't telling me I'm ineligible, it just doesn't exist.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] XDAv1d:
Hi psthornton,

I checked the reviews for the Xfinity Mobile VM app at Google Play and most recent reviews have been 1-star reviews with strong criticism. The following reply by Xfinity (Comcast) was interesting:

According to Xfinity (underlined in red), they began to stop using their Xfinity Mobile VM app on new phones about 2019 (the Galaxy S10 was released Feb-2019) and switched to Google's generic version. My 4-year-old Xfinity LG Stylo 5 came a few months later (Jun-2019) and it had Google's generic VM app (version 7.4.0.6).

As for my Xfinity 2023 Moto G Stylus 5G, it doesn't appear to have a separate VM app at all. There is no Voicemail app in the tray. Nor is there a Voicemail listed among the running apps (I included the system apps in my search). Instead, the 2023 VM may be integrated into the Android 13 Phone app.

The bottom line: (1) Lots of Xfinity Mobile customers have been reporting problems with the Xfinity Mobile VM app. (2) Xfinity has been transitioning away from the Xfinity Mobile VM app since at least 2019.

Kind regard, David

Thank you! That's a step in the right direction. I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly which mediatek my onn tablet has. It's the 2apuqwm1036p which is said to be the Onn 2022 10.1 Android 11 GO edition.

So, to use this tool I have to install the mediatek drivers, then use linusb? I need to flash the firmware with the SP Flash tool? I'm so lost! Do you know of any websites I can follow at all? I really appreciate your help. I'm just trying not to brick it. I found some videos, but, once again, I'm not for sure what media tek processor this has. I had used an unlock tool that told me and I saved it in a text file but for the life of me CANNOT find it or remember what tool I used that told me.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That isn't enough information to identify your CPU. The number you gave above, is that the supposed model number? I think it isn't actually an Onn device, it appears to be a clone of some kind based on searches done using the information you provided.
[General Questions and Answers] dahuchsi:
Yes, it's an ONN tablet. 10.1 inch. I believe the 2022.
[General Questions and Answers] dahuchsi:
There was one of the programs that told me what MediaTek it was, but I can't remember what program I used. And so... kind of at a standstill. Do you know a program that can identify which processor is in the tablet so that I can continue forward? Or, any other ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
All you did was repeat the exact same information that I already said was not enough. I know it is Mediatek but that isn't enough, the information I need to know about will be the CPU series. It will be something like MT(4 numbers here).

I've already done searches using the info that you have already given and it doesn't find anything conclusive that even suggests what series of Mediatek processor your device has. The info you provided somewhat finds info for an "Onn" device that is actually a rebrand of some other obscure device, that is why I said I think you have a knock-off/clone. I think you'll have trouble truly identifying the device and the exact processor it actually has because knock-off clones give false information about themselves when probed for identifying info. They tend to say they are "this" when they are actually "that" or they say they have "this" processor when they actually have"that" processor.

No esim - just dual physical sim. No GMS at the moment either, though might be available at the end of the month when apparently the global version is released and the chinese version might get the option to either turn on GMS or reflash with global rom - but we will have to see. Great slim and light foldable otherwise.
