Discussion Should I buy the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion despite all the complaints?

4 Upvotes

I'm considering buying the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion, mainly for its camera, battery and overall specifications. However, after reading several discussions, reviews and on reddit I've come across a lot of complaints about various issues with the phone and Motorola's after-sales service.

Those of you who own this phone or have experience with Motorola, I'd really appreciate your honest opinions.

  • Are the reported problems actually common, or are they isolated cases?
  • How reliable is the phone in the long run?
  • Is Motorola's service and customer support really that bad in India?
  • Would you recommend buying it, or should I consider another phone in the same price range?

I'm particularly concerned about spending my money on a phone that might give me problems later and then be difficult to get repaired.

Would you buy the Edge 70 Fusion if you were in my position, or would you avoid it? Please share your actual experiences rather than just the specifications. Thanks!

Other Fixed BSNL calling issue on Motorola Edge 70 Fusion by disabling 4G Calling (VoLTE)

4 Upvotes

I recently moved my BSNL SIM from my old iPhone XR to my new Motorola Edge 70 Fusion. Everything seemed to work fine initially, except for one major issue: both incoming and outgoing calls were failing with the message “Calling barred.”

Interestingly, mobile data was working perfectly, incoming SMS messages were arriving, and the phone displayed the BSNL network name, signal bars, and VoLTE icon.

I contacted BSNL customer care using my Jio SIM. As usual, they said they would raise a complaint with their backend team, but I never received a follow-up or a solution.

I also tried changing the preferred network type on my Motorola, but nothing helped.

What made me suspect the problem?

I suddenly remembered how BSNL calls worked on my iPhone XR. Although the iPhone XR supports only up to 4G LTE, whenever I received or made a BSNL call, the network would automatically switch from 4G to 2G (mostly) or sometimes 3G.

This made me wonder whether the issue was related to BSNL's 4G voice calling support and the way the Motorola handled VoLTE.

The solution that worked for me

I went to the SIM settings on my Motorola Edge 70 Fusion and found an option labelled:

“Use 4G services to improve voice calls”

I switched this option OFF, and suddenly, both incoming and outgoing BSNL calls started working normally!

Mobile data was already working, and now voice calling works as well.

Sharing this in case it helps someone else

If you're using a BSNL SIM on a Motorola Edge 70 Fusion (or potentially another Android phone) and experience the following:

  • Mobile data works perfectly.
  • Incoming SMS messages work.
  • The BSNL network and VoLTE icon are visible.
  • Both incoming and outgoing calls fail with “Calling barred.”

Try disabling “Use 4G services to improve voice calls” in your SIM settings and test calling again.

This is the setting that fixed the issue on my phone. I can't confirm whether the same solution will work on every device, but it might be worth trying before spending hours with customer care!

Tech help Motorola G84 turning off when plugged in

2 Upvotes

Used motorola G84 I got from ebay. I bootloaded e/os/ on it before I used the phone so I'm not sure if this is a software, or hardware issue. Working fine until I plug it in, then it completely shuts off. Currently it won't turn back on, but previously it would only turn back on if I plugged it into a cable connected to my computer. It would then charge fine, and act fine for the rest of the day. That is not working now. Help.

While switching zoom from 1x to 0.5x there is a lag which even shows up visibly in video recording. Feels terrible to zoom in and out especially in that range . Higher zoom are smooth.

Any Fix available apart from using GCam?

Cuando instale la aplicación de VPN me dice que no es posible conectarla ​porque la función de VPN está en una opción siempre activa. En la configuración en Internet y Redes no me sale la opción VPN, es como si no reconociera que hay unas vpn, como si no me concediera el permiso. No sé cómo solucionar ese problema
