[Q] Should I Worry from this Phone?

hello
i bought the phone from amazon but it's still on the way
t the beginning i was trying to find a budget phone and the option was SAM S4 mini, but i dont like Samsung and want some official OS like nexus, and BOOM the MOTO G is the answer !!
read and watched some reviews and by that i decide to buy it -GLOBAL SIM ver-
now while i'm reading the threads, i found some people complain from signals issues, low calls volumes, kitkat issues and battery issues :crying:
i don't believe the whole stock is defective, maybe some, but still , the numbers are increasing
should i worry ?

Don't waste your time worrying about that.
If you have a defective one getting a replacement from Amazon is quite comfortable (you probably know..).
I think the mayority of the phones are fine so the chances are good that yours is, too.

I have zero issues with my phone. I have turned the volume down for calls, my battery is usually at 50% after 14 hours of use, and there is no lag.

Signal is too Strong
My call volume is too loud
KitKat runs too fast
My battery lasts too long
No issues here

that's really comforting guys
i'm really exciting bout this device for both specs and price, Motorola is a great company, even without using their devices since long time , they are well known
even tho i'm an importer, but i know Amazon and their CS are top notch, so i can figure it out with them if something goes wrong, but i really hope everything is gonna be OK
thank you all

Just to tell you to have fun with this device
This device is still brand new so stalk the roms section to try new roms, pretty fun.
Ps: Never had battery issue or software issue or having a defective model

i received the mobile, but my SIM went out of service so i need to buy a new one lately
anyways, the first thing im doing is charging it to 100%, then upgrade to KitKat, i wished to test somethings on JB before upgrading just to make sure everything is OK, but i'm excited lol
after the upgrade i'll shut it down till i bring a new SIM, hope everything is ok
i noticed i can't charge the phone via USB cable while it's OFF, it'll turn ON right away, trivial but whatever
can i upgrade the system from Motorola Device Manager ? cause i think from the WiFi it's taking around an hour and half

lol
the battery as 100% while downloading KK update
after completion in 2 hrs still high percentage
after installing the update and rebooting,i'm at 40%
is this natural?
i hadnt done anything else yet

That happens when you update. Just use it and you will notice that the 40% last for a very long time. Or just recharge it instead...

...

just wanted to confirm that i had the low voice problem on KK, i encountered only once so far
i was to open the speaker, but the voice was so low that i thought it wasnt on speaker, but when i pressed the volume button the voice went loud just fine as it should on the speaker
hope i wont encounter it very often

Touchscreen goes crazy - Unusable phone

Hi everyone,
I bought a Oneplus One in past July with enthusiasm.
After few days of use, began the "ghost swipes" issue (as every owner of the One) and multitouch issues (my phone is basically recognizing 1 finger at the same time) preventing any pinch to zoom or notification expand gesture.
But that's not the worst, after few weeks of use, began the most annoying issue I ever had on a device : my touchscreen is going crazy detecting contacts on the touchscreen by itself.
This issue began slowly but is getting worse over time. I noticed that the issue appears only after keeping my phone on my pocket for a while... I need to wait up to 10 mins after taking it out for the problem to disappear.
At first, a simple reboot was temporary the issue but not anymore. It's simple, I only can use my phone 10% of the day... During the remaining 90% it calls numbers, takes photos, deletes messages by itself...
Watch this video, it speaks for itself :
I do not know if anyone else has the same issue or not and I can't determine if it is a software problem, a hardware one or a combination of both...
I opened a support ticket on Oneplus website (but it seems I won't have answer before a few weeks... ) and I don't even know if they will accept doing a swap (OPO support is one of the worst I know).
What's sure is I am really disapointed by this device, whatever its price tag... And I won't recommend it to anyone and I won't give out my invites.
Guys, don't buy this phone and wait for the next Nexus device with which you'll have a high quality device at a decent price...
I let them a little while to find a fix to this situation and if nothing comes, I'll buy another one and use all means at my disposal to be refunded (the French law is quite helpful in the field).

There are many users facing this issue. Check around the forums you'll see numerous threads about this issue, you might also find some tips to reduce the issue.
AFAIK this is as of yet not permanent fix for this issue, but since i dont have this issue i havent been following it so i might be wrong. Good luck though.

The only solution is to RMA the device. Took me 6 weeks of haggling with One Plus but finally the RMA is in process.

[Q] Xperia problems after fall

Hello,
i'm new here i was trying to find answers on my problem but i wasn't able to find anything so i'm creating this new topic.
Last month i accidentally dropped my phone. I wasn't able to do anything (touch screen didn't respond) so i reseted it through the battery and it worked...but since then it's overheating anytime i use it (even usual works like phone calls makes it overheated) therefore the battery die out really quickly...charging took ages and it's also overheating during it. My camera is not working and internet connection does not work too...but if i remove battery and sim card it's working again...and for a while it's not overheating...but after 1 hour or so it's happening again..... any hints pleeeease ?

Most probably it's a hardware issue since you dropped your phone. You can get it repaired by the service centre or any other shops
And there's a seperate section to post queries/questions/problems. Use that next instead of posting so that somebody easily finds you
Hit the thanks button if it helped!

All I can say is ughhh

I really wanted to love this phone,I loved how it looked, read all the reviews and then.. I did the initial set up downloading all my apps,it froze multiple times, had to reboot,apps keep crashing,the app drawer keeps disappearing and then showing back up..and the LAG, where do I start? My spare back up a ZTE ZMAX runs better than this phone. I factory reset and still the same issue ! The screen freezes at random times throughout the day. After a week with it,I'm done! I just purchased a Asus Zenfone 2, which was my other choice,hopefully I'll have better luck. I don't know if I got a dud,or if other people have had better experiences but for me I can't keep a phone that I have to restart multiple times a day just to use and then even then still runs slowwwww.....

You should try exchanging it for a new one first. Sounds like you just got a bad unit. I have very few issues with my unit. I would try a new one and if that doesn't work out then get the ZF2.

Same sentiments here - it does look like you were unlucky and got a bad unit. I am not going to say this is the best phone money can buy - but after more than two weeks of usage - I have not had any of the symptoms you are describing. App loading for me has certainly been slow - but that is pretty much the only performance problem I have had. No freezing or crashing - at all. And for the past week, the double tap issues has disappeared as well.
One thing - if you experienced freezing when updating all the apps during initial setup - that is a common problem I have faced with other devices and ROMs as well - and can be fixed by clearing cache and data on Play Services - and other Google apps.

I can't say i've had any issues with this phone other than the double tap to wake not working at random times. I paid $200 on preorder so i can't complain for the price. After coming from a GalaXY SII, this phone is great. Now I only wish someone would figure out how to root it. That and I wish Alcatel would update it to 5.1 but i'm not holding my breath for that one.

I agree. I have tried to enjoy the phone mainly because of the awesome speakers. But mine freezes and lags too bad to continue. It takes apps 5-10 seconds to load every time. I am done.

Which apps? I just tested 12 random apps and while it is on the slow side, on average I'm getting about 3.5 seconds to open an app. Slacker radio was the longest at almost six seconds but it took at least that long on my HTC one m7. Also at what points does the phone freeze? Have you tried a factory reset? I haven't had a single freeze on mine, as others suggested maybe you got a bad one.

No freezes here.
Apps load a little slow but never more than a couple of seconds.
hopefully when sources are released, things will improve.

I didn't have any of those issues. Just return it to Amazon and get a new one, their customer care is excellent.

same issue
I've the exact same issue as you experienced : app diseapearing, lock screen disapearing, app crash...
How did you solved this ?
Thks a lot

My (negative) findings after 2 months

My Nokia 7 PLUS was bought mainly as a backup phone and to experience pure Android without paying an insane amount for a Pixel. I like my new Nokia but there are so many positive reviews out there that tell you why this is a good purchase, so I'll try to mention the weird stuff I've experienced. This phone has been my daily driver for 2 months now.
First and foremost the quick charging issues that I have another topic going about, so I'll skip this part.
Wi-fi disconnecting and giving me a notification sound. I don't know if I'm just being a noob here, but getting "ghost" notifications throughout the day has been a bit bothersome. At first I didn't know what was going on, I was seemingly getting notification sounds without there being any updates for me in any apps. But the other day just as I unlocked the phone I got the sound and saw the wifi being disconnected for a splitsecond. I don't know how I turn off wifi sound notifications without impacting other more important sounds so I guess I'll just have to live with this. But it's still annoying to get this sound if the wifi DC's for half a second.
Rubber around the edges of the screen coming loose. I got the bronze coloured model and if you look just at the edge of the screen there's a millimeter thick bronze frame, and between that frame and the screen some sort of black rubber or adhesive is starting to come loose. I noticed this about 2 weeks ago and I thought it was a hair that had become stuck and as I started pulling about 5 cm of black rubber came loose along the screen. I think the rubber casing that was with the phone is the culprit, because when your phone is in your jeans for several hours a day the "case" seems to dig just at the edge of the screen which could cause this. The rubber that has come loose was not visible before and it's not visible that it was been removed either.
Google Assistant opening seemingly randomly. I have two phones on my computer table just to the left of me, both with Android Nougat installed and Assistant enabled. Sometimes I sit in complete silence and play PC games, only with audible key clicks and Google Assistant will open on my Nokia 7, yet it has never happened on my other phone (Galaxy s8+). It's spooky in more ways than one.
The 3.5mm jack port is behaving weirdly. I've tried with 3 different headphones and it's always the same. I need to push, pull and turn before the headphones get properly connected and still then they can get disconnected at any moment. You can probably imagine how much of a nuisance that is if people around you don't agree with your musical taste. (hint: train rides.)
This may seem like a long list but my overall impression is still largely positive, especially when it comes to lack of bloatware, duplicate apps and the battery life is outstanding.

The headphone thing I find as well but I have a carbon fibre case on my 7+ and this is what causes it as if I remove the case the problem does not manifest. The other things you mention I have never had. I have the TA-1055 UK version since its release.

I really don't recognize any of your complaints. I can't type a long search query in the adressbar in Lightning, but that's about it. Maybe you should RTM your device.

The ghost notification sounds annoys me as well.
My headphone jack works fine.
Issues I have:
Ui stutter/lag compared to other phones.
Phone showing as uncertified in google play store.
Not getting android updates (still on may patch).
Battery not as good as expected for the battery size the phone has.

Don't experience any of the above issues here. Fully reset you phone or RMA.

Thanks, did the first part and saw an improvement, but will this impact battery life? Because I will gladly keep the stutters if I lose my almost 2 days bat life

About a week since I have received the phone.
The mobile connection is usually 4g+ to 4g. depending on where I am I guess. However, I have noticed that on phone calls, the icon changes to hspa+
I don't notice any speed change but I'm guessing this is related to no support for VoLTE?
Also, I notice that from wifi to mobile transition occurs very sluggishly. Sometimes on banking applications the wifi doesn't work which is odd, but it doesn't connect to mobile on the fly either. Usually I have to turn off the wifi for it to work.

I've also had some weird experiences with my N7 plus.
1. Headphones do not work randomly. When this happens only the speakers work the ear piece on the phone doesn't work as well. Phone needs to be rebooted to fix this.
2. Some apps, such as Prime music and Quora, do not work when connected to the TP link ADSL router aty home. The iOS versions of the same apps work from the same router. Apps on the Nokia start working only when I connect to mobile data or office WiFi.

Volte is a mess on Android. In the UK it mostly only works on iphones or Android devices bought directly from the network who modify the firmware.
That said I'm on BT Mobile in the UK (uses EE network) and Volte and wifi calling work well based upon my experience so far using Oreo 8 with July updates.

Since the day I started playing PUBG, the call speaker is acting quite weird. Many times when I get a call, the speaker will be automatically turned on, but it doesn't show that. I have to turn it on and back off to hear it from the earpiece. It mostly happens when I'm in a game. But it has happened other times as well. I don't know if it is a problem on just my phone or android in general. Anybody have any fix for this?
