Notifications issue got resolved but battery drain issue is back.
Sometimes it is behaving normally but sometimes it is draining very fast.
Yesterday my phone went from 15% to 1% within 2mins, while i was just using whatsapp with no background apps running.
Battery is draining faster than before.

No update here actually PD1805F_EX_A_8.12.0 is last update available for my NEX...
But when u loose 14% in 2 minutes... howto say... i'm not excited...
Did u full charge cycle 3/5 times after update, u don't activate extra feature like visual notifications eye candy feature who drain battery for nothing ?

Yes, i did that full charge cycle.....its been more than a month now....
I don't use any eye candy features.... I use my phone as plain as possible....

Very strange... U try to reinstall firmware update ? Sometimes it can help or like all the time, we need to wait update !

No, i haven't done that.....
This sudden battery drop is a random phenomenon..... Doesn't happen ever time.... But yes, overall battery backup has reduced markably.

I've been using 8.12.1 for the past few days and battery life seems ok for me.

I received 8.70.8 update two days ago and my network connection keeps failing, sometimes several times in a minute. Almost unusable at this point.

Nougat update is out. Find any differences?

I saw myself 3 mobiles getting an update today.
I've updated my phone today as soon as I received the notification.
Details about update -Android version 7.0, Build: NPJ25.93-11.
List of BIG changes that I observed:
1. Boot animation - It is completely revamped and now says "Hello Moto" with an iconic voice every time you boot up the phone. Just found out that it can be turned off in Settings>Sounds.
2. Internal memory pumped up - This is a big surprise for me. My available free memory was 7.3 GB before the update and now it is 8.22 GB. It is a very good thing.
3. Battery backup seems to be improved. This is my one day observation and still needs more observation of course.
4. A special Moto action is added called Swipe to shrink screen. (meh!)
5. Fingerprint sensor can now lock the device. Power button is safe forever. Unregistered fingers can also put phone to sleep.
6. Toggle WiFi, BT, Data etc. in one tap if you pull down notification bar once else if you pull down twice you get to choose from a list of devices.
7. Device temperature is now nominal while charging.
8. I don't see network related settings like 2G, 3G, 4G selection per SIM. It is all grayed out. I think it will choose the n/w on its own.
All other N features (split screen, notification in-line-reply, better recent apps preview, etc) are known. So there is nothing special to say about that.
Cons inherited from Marshmallow:
*** Hidden LED is still kept hidden. What a waste!
*** Although device is locked you can still swipe down notification bar and toggle all the important and sensitive controls like WiFi, Location, Bluetooth, Data, Airplane mode. This is really an insecure feature.
I'll keep updating this as I go on finding something new.
Other changes are mentioned in changelog on Moto website.
P.s: Go for the update.

I have flashed my moto g4 plus with official soak test nougat. But I didn't receive any notification for official nougat. Will I get a notification or will I have to flash it manually using official nougat update?

You should get the update according to sources. Maybe you will have to wait for a while.
Well if you don't get it you can always downgrade to 6.0 to start over.

the problem with the screenshot is that android system and android OS never were the top consuming items back in marshmallow
They were in my case but now it's much worse... sometimes can't make it till dinner time.
Together with the Bluetooth crashing this Nougat upgrade it's a total disappointment.

did u do a factory reset ?
Still not, I'm planning to do it but it's so much work...
Suddenly without any new SW update (still B341) the battery drain is much better.
It didn't came for free though: the timer is totally screwed up so alarms are missed or late, apps in background closed, whatsapp messages received only at screen unlock plus as soon I unlock and bring down the notifications the new ones randomly disappears.
I was waiting a new SW update since there are many new versions around but it looks takes much longer with the EVA-L09 Vodafone Germany version.
Thinking about using the downgrade package provided by Huawei.

1st update on my Indian Moto x4

Hey guys just received 1st update from Moto let's see what's all improvement done.
Yup. They sent it out yesterday. Says it improves depth mode. I tested it and I should say it does have slight improvement however I still experience foreground blur on my face and my body. Don't worry i won't post any selfies ? here ? . But I'm still kind of disappointed. Anyways, if you want better foreground focus in portrait mode, I suggest using the paid version of "Camera FV-5" app from the playstore. It doesn't have a very strong blur like the stock camera, but at least it manages to focus properly. Other software improvements I'm yet to test but so far I'm really glad that at least motorola (lenovo) rolled out an update!

Sounds stupid but... I have something like that and after restart, everything is back to normal again.
It sounds like Oreo is just around the corner.
I hope the memory management, and lag in apps like play store and Twitter shld be gone with Oreo. Really annoying. Anybody else have this problem or it's only me??

Cheers. Just reinstalled and can confirm it works now.
It feels like but not confirmed yet:
Accessibility setting are sticking. I used the jovi button which i have assigned to back action immediately after the update reboot. It worked, and is still working after 7 hours. Will report later.

Failed. Had to update accessibility settings after 13 hours.
Seems like battery monitoring apps(such as Accubattery) are now not able to read battery stats from phone after update. It shows attached error. Worked fine before.
Thanks for nothing, vivo.

Why you wana calibrate unnecessarily and that too even without root ? U want to calibrate battery, do it non-root method way
Method 1
Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
Unplug your charger.
Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Now, let your battery discharge all the way down to 0 percent and let your phone turn off again.
Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption and you should have reset the Android system's battery percentage.

This is kinda great idea. Anybody just post a screenshot of changelog as soon as the Update of Vivo Nex comes so that some people who passes by who are suspicious or reluctant about Vivo software updates can see the proof . How about it ? Just post under a single thread to avoid overflooding with multiple threads

I do not want to calibrate my battery. This is what the AccuBattery terms for reading the battery consumption. Read the entire message and the screenshot message.
May I know how to revert back to previous version? The battery drain is so bad at this firmware. And how to download the previous version?
Same here quite the drain after the new update. Still bearable but way better before...
need some experts to teach us how to downgrade..
this is link for the previous version.

Used HiCare for latest update. Phone was getting very glitchy before, but new update has sorted things out. It's maddening having such a great phone but it being so limited due to non rooting.
today i get the update Al00 9.0.0.198
Not a single problem with 198 here.

I just update to 198 and from what i can see, this Update makes the battery drain faster... at least for me... before the Update, i watch Youtube for about 1 hour and only 8% percentage drain... after the update, i watch Youtube 1 hours and i get like 12-15% percentage drain... (
I will not update my other unit to 198 for the moment, i'll stick with 195...
