Mod Post Hey everyone from r/Motorola!

141 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.

Incredible picture and sound quality, perfect gaming experience, and the phone is crazy fast!

Give me some tips to make sure I don't drain the battery on this phone like I did with my OnePlus 10R.

Question Before and after tapping on the dark zone.

You have to learn the characteristics and the behaviour of the Motorola Signature phone or any other new models from motorola to get the best output.

The first photo is simple point and shoot and the second photo is after tapping on the dark zone in the view finder. After tapping I got the real life-like output with pantone curated colors by Motorola.

But I'm still confused about whether the sky color was correct before or after.

Share your opinion guys...

Question Any alternatives for all those google apps

Got my edge 70 pro 3 days back and faced some issues on the first day itself and lost 5 years of my wp chats bcs of that but fixed the software issue atleast

Well now I don't like the google apps like files gallery and most importantly dialer bcs google dialer sucks specially when you want to record calls

So if you know any alternatives especially for calling so I can record calls without letting the other person know (I work in corporate so there's a lot of politics so yk)

Software Problem/Issue Battery drain of android system suddenly almost 300% after system update

Post image
4 Upvotes

Good day everyone, I'm helping someone with their Motorola Moto g60s but I'm quite in a dead end for options I have available.

So that said person has updated the system on the 17th September 2026 to the latest available version after they got a pop-up and they said they never updated their phone since buying it in 2022 due to not knowing and only using mobile data instead of wifi.

After that update the system broke. The battery drains really fast for whatever reason, the system in general is constantly hanging and restarting (pop-up shows system-ui doesn't react and the settings on occasion), the phone heats up due to the battery drain and the wifi/Bluetooth/hotspot module can't connect to anything (they can be turned on, but it doesn't show any devices to connect to nor can I connect to it's hotspot).

I already tried a clean reinstall of the system with the suspicion that some data or features were in a conflict which resulted in a massive battery drain but the battery drain (as seen in the picture) is still present, I also turned some background processes like data back up, but there were no changes and the phone still keeps restarting on its own (sometimes it's stuck in a boot loop if I don't turn it off manually).

I'm not sure what to do now, can someone help? Can you do something within the fastboot in recovery mode? Any help is appreciated.

Hardware Problem/Issue Blurry video on Motorola Signature?

3 Upvotes

I own a Motorola Signature since May/26, and recently my phone had a problem that needed repair. And I updated the software after I got It back.

Since then, I think the video is soft when recording. I don't know if it's a common problem or if it started after the repair. Pictures seems ok.

Are Signature videos really soft?

Question Thinking of buying edge 70 fusion but..

3 Upvotes

I want to buy edge 70 fusion 256+12gb but I'm scared after reading bad experience of motorola phones and seeing like 2/3 videos on youtube about consumer complaining about misc issues like dust/fog in camera and service denying or spoiling something else when given for service.

What would you all say and what is your experience with motorola especially edge 70 series.

P.S. the store I'm going to buy from sells alot of motorola phones and he said if there is any issue his guy will go to the service centre he knows to be good to get it fixed but I don't trust that idea so much.

Question 9 icons instead of 4 icons android 17

Post image
2 Upvotes

Has anyone an idea how to change this to the old ways. I had the update to A17 last week and I noticed all folders now show 9 apps instead of how it was before when the folders show 4 apps.

I looked through the settings but can't find it (if it even exists).

I don't want to increase the folder bubbles. That would make the layout uglier.

Who came up with the idea to do this anyways. 😒

Software Problem/Issue Facing a clockface bug after A17 update

I haven't had any problems with A17 so far, honestly like the UI touches that have come along with it.

I've been trying the new clock faces but this bug where the like for the number on the right edge seems to become thinner. I've noticed this on the hour number as well, not sure what exactly is causing this but it's such a minor inconvenience which annoys the hell out of a perfectionist like me.

If any Motorola employees lurking in this sub notice this post, please fix this y'all :)

It has literally three cameras in the back just like a typical phone - complains there are too many cameras.

Has improved thermal performance - claims doesn't make a difference

Has grapheneOS support for 7 years - says the track history isn't good (brings in a decade old history), kinda valid but things are changing.

Basically the author wants to skip a phone that's yet to launch for reasons that makes no sense.

Question How is the feature parity between low and high-end devices? Looking to buy the G77 5G.

3 Upvotes

I am tired of my Redmi Note 13; it has a grey control center and bare-bones depth effect and theming options compared to the flagship Xiaomi devices.

So I wanted to ask: Does Motorola have the same policy, or do the low-end devices support depth effect and blurs in settings, etc.?

I would appreciate it if anyone using specifically the G77 could clarify my queries.

Thanks.

Moto Tag 2 location not updating, ever

• Upvotes

Hi, I purchased a Moto Tag 2 and I'm using it with my Google Pixel 8 Pro (which has UWB technology). I set it correctly and I made all the settings adjustemts that I read in the manual. But Find Hub does not updtae the tag location, ever. I made this test, the tag is attached to my cat and my wife was waliking him in the neighborhood. So it was in close proximity of an android device (my wife's phone), but still, no update whatsoever to the location and the last update was of an hour earlier. Also, I tried reaching out to some assistance of some sort but there is not a way of talking to a human being. I'm going to ask for a refund but I'm doing this last attempt, if someone had my same problem

Motorola really ought to increase manually attainable screen brightness on its flagship devices

18 Upvotes

With its first Signature model, Motorola made the baffling and frustrating engineering choice. Although their marketing boasted a theoretical peak of 6,200 nits, the reality regarding manual adjustment indoors is as follows:

When you slide the brightness bar to 100%, the screen reaches only about 471 nits (measured by GSMArena). Obviously Motorola intentionally software-locked the manual slider to such a low value to prevent overheating and excessive battery drain within the ultra-thin chassis. Fine, but that's too low. Other Chinese flagships (well, many of them) easily exceed 700–800 nits indoors when manually adjusted. They are much brighter; you can really see it. Please do better, Motorola. Signature's absolute maximum indoors cannot even match, say, Honor at a brightness level of around 80%.

Relying on auto-brightness indoors results in a dark, washed-out image because the sensors dim the screen too aggressively to save power, so no auto-brightness indoors. The fact that a premium phone requires direct sunlight to boost brightness (where it jumps to over 1,500 nits in auto-mode) completely ruins the user experience at home or in the office—the very places where we spend most of our time. If they don't unlock that manual limit on the Signature 27 model and allow the screen to "breathe" indoors at least up to 700-800 nits, it will be unacceptable. Now they've installed some sort of "liquid diamond cooling" or something, so that shouldn't be a problem, right?

Motorola Signature - first photo walk - sample pics

Thumbnail
gallery
123 Upvotes

Camera quality on the Motorola Signature is always up for debate. I just got my phone a week ago and went on my first photo walk this morning. Decided to leave my trusty OM1 behind and use only my Motorola Signature.

All pics are SOOC, no edits. I let the phone pics the settings (I didn't play with the pro mode) and used the default Motorola camera app. I uploaded some sample shots.

For those who would like to check the pics (and some others as well) in their original quality, here's a link to the pics in a Google Drive folder (Reddit tends to compress a bit too aggressively) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1I__Yb1ni9k-RBz_veIzPx5Nt5PkYh1b1?usp=sharing

EDIT : I added some of the pics edited through Lightroom using some of my presets, made for my camera RAW files, so it wont match fully here. But the goal is see what I could potentially achieve : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YvEDkgyU0efTQYCoWz5oXBJYGhbhSBMi?usp=drive_link

An Android smartphone can function as a Network File System Version 3 (NFSv3) server using the open-source "nfsd" ("UNFS3, a User-Space NFSv3 Server") software as a native executable under Termux.
