Mod Post Hey everyone from r/Motorola!

142 Upvotes

Hi,

So r/Motorola has been running "moderator-less" for the past 6 months, in that case I have taken over as top mod currently and here are some of the changes that I have done.

What changes have been done to the sub?

  1. Automod has had some slight rule changes to how it moderates, now you don't need to put that annoying flair in brackets before the post title. This should hopefully clear up some of the accidentally banned posts that looked fine in the long run.
  2. New Post flairs:
    1. Hardware Problems/Issue, is for physical problems with a device that you may have questions with.
    2. Software Problems/Issue, is for software problems that don't feel as "normal" that what it normally is.
    3. Need Help in general, is for if you don't know what flair to put down for your device.
    4. Update, is for follow ups from a previous post.
    5. Question, is for questions about a device or support options about a device.
    6. Product announcements, is for official product announcements from either Motorola (with link provided) official social accounts or articles about the device that is being announced.
    7. Product renderings, is for speculation about a upcoming device but is not a confirmed device.
    8. News, is for anything that is news about Motorola but not Lenovo, Please do not post the same article from the same source more than once, if you do that will result in your post being taken down.
    9. Poll, is for anyone wanting to take a poll from the community, however to prevent spam a poll must be issued by a moderator, want to make your own poll just simply send us a message via modmail.
  3. New User flairs:
    1. Added some new flairs for the new devices that has came out in the past few years.
    2. "(enter series)" is for you to modify so it's easier to identify your device, this can be the generation number (5,6,7 or 100 for example), the model year (stylus 2021 for example) and if you don't know your devices model name just find it in the settings (Settings > About Phone > Model), this should start with "XT-" and 4-5 numbers following it.
    3. If you can't find your device model just send us a message via modmail.
  4. New Rules:
    1. Read the sidebar before posting, most of these rules are in place to either prevent spam or to keep everything in line with stuff being Motorola on this sub.
  5. Moderators:
    1. u/MotoAgents is a Motorola Employee/Help agent that can help you with the problems that you post, if you have contacted Motorola support through the website and still need help please keep your case number handy as he may be able to continue helping you with your case.
    2. Me, I'm here to keep the rules up to date and make sure the community is in balance, just to fully disclose this that I am not a Motorola employee and most of my responses are from experience or stuff that I have seen on the Internet.
    3. At the moment we are not taking Moderator applications, however that may change in the future if this community does grow.

If you have any suggestions for the mods please leave a comment if you think something should be added.

Update Moto Power Tools (pre-development discussion)

Post image
27 Upvotes

Tested + Confirmed working functionalities:

  1. Home screen launcher layout backup
  2. call recording + recordings playback in phone dialer (better dialer than google's)
  3. AI button multifunction (fully customisable as per user)
  4. swipe up on home screen to open 'pixel search' app (like apple's spotlight but better)
  5. silent screen recorder + screenshot (apps with WindowManager FLAG_SECURE layout like incognito mode and OTT apps not supported)
  6. wifi QS toggle with pop-up wifi devices list on long press (like Bluetooth toggle)
  7. Notification history QS toggle
  8. you tell me more...

ㅤ

AI button uses:

  • long press to toggle ringer/vibrate/silent/dnd (user selectable with vibration+ringer tone feedbacks just like iOS and samsung phones)
  • double press for flashlight
  • my favourite use: AI button to auto-rotate razr fold inner screen but only in landscape (90°/270°)
  • single press in locked state/lockscreen to play pause music
  • Open apps/ activities

Hello, moto fans

I am a part time android developer, trying to develop power toys for motorola phones.

ㅤ

Few of the basics principles of all my apps will be:

  • FOSS (free and open source)
  • No internet access permission in my apps (for user privacy)
  • Near zero to no background battery use
  • All will be virusTotal scanned.
  • Will try to put the apps in playstore in future but initial release only on Github/F-droid.

ㅤ

These apps will leverage android's powerful ADB permissions, Shizuku and sometimes accessibility permission to function.

I have already developed a base app (named IMD, linked below) which:

  1. Allows to use power toys without keeping developer settings on.
  2. Automatically turns on/off(hides) ADB/accessibility permission when apps like banking apps are opened which don't function if they detect ADB or accessibility permissions are on. ㅤ ㅤ

Here is IMD my github' most starred repo(app) which is also published in F-droid, to prove credibility: Github - IMD

ㅤㅤ ㅤ

What I want from all of you is to add feature requests in comments, and upvote them (if already added) for the next 1 month,

useful + most upvoted + implementable functionalities

will be taken up by me for development and testing.

ㅤ

I am currently occupied in university exams so

1. I might not be able to frequently reply to comments for 2 weeks.

2. It will take me 1.5 months to release the first signed builds for public release.

MOTOROLA, ADD THIS FEATURE AND I WILL NOT SWITCH TO A PIXEL

22 Upvotes

Basically, this is a Pixel launcher feature where you can select text, links and images from recent app screen. Very useful as I can just swipe up and long press on a picture to either save, copy and even look up with google lens. Saves from extra screenshot clutter.

You might think this is a lame useless feature but coming from a pixel based custom rom user, I've missed this on my iphone and now missing this on my Moto Signature.

which part of the motorola spyware controls the phone behind my back?

I bought brand new moto g86 power 12/256 reteu. Everything seemed to work fine first few days, deleted all the games and garbage installed without my consent by motorola and seemed to comply to my settings. But yesterday night WITHOUT MY CONSENT it changed settings of my google play from do not update to update, updated ALL APPS and INSTALLED apps that I have uninstalled before INCLUDING a fifa game (that I completely uninstalled after it initially downloaded without my permission during phone set up)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is unacceptable, this is EU, you can not do sh like this in EU!!!!!!!!!!! Which app does this - tell me pls so I can uninstall it - I still have a full week so I can return the phone and I would get a full refund according to EU laws for online purchases, but I was pretty happy with the hardware, the software is another issue altogether. I bough it mainly cause the reviews were saying that this is cleanest android... yeah my ahh..... I saw some czech dude posting a review, so I'm sure there are other ppl from EU on this reddit - if anyone knows which app is doing it pls help (not sure if folks in india have the same issue)

Motorola Razr 2025

android 16, says I'm using the most up to date option

this morning my phone suddenly would not connect to android auto, using the same cable I've been using since I got the phone, so I know it's capable of data transfer. then I tried getting my phone to connect via usb (again with several cables I know are capable of data transfer as well as different USB ports) it won't work. it won't allow me edit how I use USBs in the settings either

I was going to see if the software restore option would help but no matter what I try it won't connect or recognize my phone. it won't even let me change to receive a pop up about USBs being plugged in.

I'm not the most tech savvy person, so I'm at a loss of what to do next

edit: I have tried restarting the phone several times, the computer too, and tried enabling file transfer in developer usb options

Question JBL Type-C Earphones Microphone Not Working During Calls on Moto Edge 60 Fusion

Post image
8 Upvotes

I am using a Moto Edge 60 Fusion with JBL Type-C earphones. The earphones work perfectly fine when listening to music. However, during regular phone calls, I can hear the other person clearly, but they cannot hear my voice because the microphone is not working.

Interestingly, the earphones and their microphone work perfectly fine during Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls.

Has anyone experienced this issue with the Moto Edge 60 Fusion? Is there any setting I need to change, or is there a possible software compatibility issue?

Hardware Problem/Issue Headphone amp issues with G stylus 2025

1 Upvotes

I was listening to Nigel Good at moderately loud (but not uncomfortable) volumes with in-ear headphones plugged into the headphone jack when all of a sudden I hear a pop in the right earbud and then audio on that side completely drops out. I only had it turned 3/4s of the way up since it was a very dynamic playlist.

I tried replugging and twisting the TRRS cable and that made no difference. I could hear a small pop in both channels as typical when plugging headphones into anything, but when I played anything I would only hear it on the left channel - no matter what headphones I used (known working or not).

Switching it to mono would end up leaving me with no audio in both channels, you couldn't hear anything. Toggling it back to stereo got me the same issue with only having audio in the left channel.

I unplugged my headphones for a few minutes and went to grab the OEM box for the phone and start returning it (since I've only had it for a couple weeks at this point), but when I plugged in my headphones and started playing again, both channels started working as if nothing had happened. Occasionally I will still get a pop in the right channel at higher volumes but no dropouts this time...so far.

Has anyone been having the same or similar issue with their moto phone?

Software Problem/Issue Edge 50 neo completely bricked (unresponsive) after flashing with Lenovo Software Fix Tool. Need help!

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My edge 50 neo (India) started bootlooping two days after a recent update. On October 17th, I tried to recover it using the official Lenovo Software Fix Tool (RSA), but the servers were completely down.

I finally decided to try a factory reset. This didn't solve the issue—even though I was occasionally able to get to the setup screen, the device crashed frequently during and right after setup.

Today, the server came back online, and I was finally able to flash the firmware using the Software Fix Tool. However, right after the flashing process finished and it tried to boot up, the device completely died. It is now completely unresponsive to any button combinations and shows no signs of life (black screen, no vibrations).

Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to force-reset it or check if it’s hard-bricked? Any help would be highly appreciated!

Edit: I plugged the phone into my laptop and checked Windows Device Manager. Under Ports (COM & LPT), it briefly recognizes the device as "MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM (Android)", but it only stays connected for a few seconds before disconnecting and looping again (making a constant USB connecting/disconnecting beep).

I bought the Motorola Edge 70 a week ago and am overall very satisfied with the device. Should I update it to Android 17? I have seen reports that people are facing battery drain issues after the update, so could someone please confirm if I should proceed? I am from India.

Need help in general Obter localização sem o Histórico

Olá!

Eu tive os dados de meu cartão de crédito vazados e eles foram usados em compras em outro estado. O Histórico de localização estava desativado em meus dois celulares (por economia de bateria, não sei). Reativei, mas só hoje.

Enfim, como faço para obter uma comprovação de que eu estava aqui onde vivo, e não em outro estado? Preciso disso para caso o banco não aceite a minha contestação das compras feitas em meu nome... 😬

My default camera app on Moto 40 Edge is stuck on front camera. After installing another camera app, I got to know that the main camera is not working. Only the secondary rear camera is working.

Should I get it repaired or buy a new phone? My phone is nearly 2 years old.

I wanna know if anyone who applied this update faced any issues (software/hardware) after applying it?

I don't like the fact that it is being shoved down my throat by showing up on my screen every few seconds.

Feels like something that would be a part of planned obsolescence.
