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.

Update Motorola scammed me.

11 Upvotes

Hi guys, I want to share my experience with motorola. I have a Motorola Edge 70 which I bought in July and on Sep 16th, I got an android 17 update for my phone. I updated it on the same day. After the update, I noticed that there were green dots around the live notifications pill. So I went to the service center in Nehru place, Delhi. They told me that it's a hardware issue and we have to replace your screen. But I thought it was a software issue because the dots were appearing sometimes and sometimes not. Like on some pages/apps. The service center team was insisting many times that it's a hardware issue and I should submit the phone. So I submitted it for repair.

After 2 weeks I got my phone back and did not feel satisfied but felt scammed.

First, the screen they replaced is having a gap in the frame. So I feel the phone is not properly sealed and water can get inside easily now.

Second, they have installed an unstable version of android 17 on my phone due to which Aod, dark mode and night light mode are not properly working.

Third, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, I was told after repair in the service center that I will get 1 year warranty on my replaced screen from now onwards but they did not give me any repair proof. They just said you don't need to worry we have your data in our system. After reaching home, I contacted motorola customer care and asked the same thing. They told me that there is only 1 month warranty on screen instead of 1 year.

I really feel bad for buying motorola and after this experience , i am not gonna recommend it to anyone.

Edit: I feel they have installed a fake/cheap screen on my device.

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.

Software Problem/Issue I'm having tons of glitches after android 17

7 Upvotes

I have a Moto edge 70 (Indian Unit). I got the android 17 update on 31 august and after that my unit has started glitching a lot.

The kinetic gestures (the torch and the double tap at back feature, even the swipe to screenshot) suddenly stopped working and I've done everything short of factory reset to get it working again.

I play bgmi while using tws and whenever I open my mic in game the sound shifts from tws to the physical speaker.

Idk why it's happening and honestly now I'm at my limit.

I bought the just 4 months back.

Motorola Edge 70 pro plus

Motorola Edge 70 Pro plus: Back to Android after 2 years with an iPhone 11 Pro!

I've been an Android user for most of my life. In 2024, I decided to try iOS and bought a used iPhone 11 Pro (512GB) instead of spending a fortune on the iPhone 16 Pro.

Two years later, it's been a love-hate relationship. I absolutely loved the compact form factor and premium build, but the software felt restrictive. As someone who used to flash custom ROMs on my OnePlus 7T, I really missed Android's freedom and customisation.

So, I'm back! This time with the Motorola Edge 70 Pro plus.

This is my third Moto phone, after the Moto G5s Plus and Moto Razr Flip. Here's my experience so far.

✅ The good stuff

1. Design and in-hand feel

I'm using the wood-textured variant, and I absolutely love the design. It's sleek, slim, lightweight and well-balanced. I was initially sceptical about the curved display, but the in-hand feel is fantastic. Surprisingly, I haven't experienced any accidental touches either. The camera plateau also provides a nice resting point for my fingers. The frame isn't aluminium, but it doesn't feel cheap.

2. Display and performance

The display is gorgeous, with crisp visuals and punchy colours. Moving from 60Hz to 120Hz is a noticeable upgrade.

I was a little concerned about the MediaTek chipset, but the phone has been smooth and snappy. It got warm on the first day, but I haven't noticed any heating issues since. I'm not much of a gamer anymore, so I can't comment on demanding games, but everyday performance has been excellent.

3. Battery life

Easily one of my favourite aspects. I leave home at 100% and, with moderate usage, still have around 70% by evening. It comfortably feels like a day-and-a-half phone for my usage.

4. Speakers

The speakers are genuinely good! Audio is loud, clear and enjoyable for watching videos or casually listening to music. Definitely a pleasant surprise.

5. Cameras

The cameras are good enough for my needs. My iPhone 11 Pro could take pictures in a similar league in some situations, but the Moto's zoom performance feels better to me. Nothing groundbreaking, but perfectly capable for everyday photography.

6. Back to Android!

This is the biggest win. I love being back in the Android ecosystem. Motorola's gestures and useful extras are welcome, the interface feels clean, and the pre installed apps I didn't need could be uninstalled.

❌ The not-so-good stuff

Software updates: Motorola's track record with slow updates and customer service still worries me. Hopefully, they prove me wrong.

Software polish: A few bugs and missing quality-of-life features need attention. Some tasks require more taps than necessary.

Customisation: Coming from flashing ROMs on the OnePlus 7T, I wish Moto offered more control over the lock screen, status bar, quick settings and overall interface.

Moto AI key: It needs more customization. Let users decide what a dedicated hardware button should do.

Hardware compromises: At this price, a more premium frame would have been nice. Long-term durability is also something only time will tell.

Curved display repairs: While I haven't had accidental touches, screen protection and potential display repair costs remain concerns worth considering.

None of these is a deal-breaker for me, but Motorola definitely has room for improvement.

💸 The buying decision

I bought it for ₹43,000 on Flipkart, including credit card cashback, with no exchange.

I'm keeping my iPhone 11 Pro because I still love its form factor and build quality. I simply wanted to return to Android for my daily use.

I considered OnePlus, Samsung, iQOO, OPPO and Nothing. Each had its own compromises. Even the Edge 70 Pro was an option I considered, but with a budget of around ₹45,000, I decided to go with what felt like the right balance for me. (And honestly, I wasn't sure my 11 pro could last another year)

Were there better options? Absolutely. I know that, and I agree.

But there's always going to be another phone with a better camera, faster processor or more features. At some point, you have to stop comparing specifications and commit to a choice.

Having used Motorola before, I knew roughly what I was getting into. Maybe their marketing worked on me a little. 😂

Final thoughts

The design, display, speakers, smooth performance and battery life have made a great first impression. The software and update policy remain my biggest concerns.

I'm not claiming this is the best phone for ₹43K, nor am I going to defend every decision Motorola makes. I bought it because it suited my priorities, and so far, I'm happy with my decision.

Fingers crossed for stable software, timely updates and a drama-free few years with Moto. 🤞

For those considering this phone, do your research and understand the compromises. There will always be a better option on paper. Find the one whose compromises you're willing to live with.

Question Hate around motorola edge phones on Instagram

11 Upvotes

I've been using a Motorola Edge 40 for the last 2.5 years (bought in March 2024), and I haven't experienced many issues like lagging. I have noticed the phone overheating at times, but it never actually lags during games.

​I really don't understand why people hate on or troll Motorola Edge users, or why so many phone repair shop accounts on Instagram constantly post about CPU-related issues like overheating and CPU reballing for these devices.

​I just ordered a Motorola Edge 70 Pro (8GB/256GB) for myself purely based on the hardware specs, as my dad needs a working phone and I'll be passing my old one down to him.

2 rough slide-out QWERTY case concepts.

3 Upvotes

The Edge 70 case is vertical, because its basically the only practical way to have a QWERTY keyboard.

The Razr Flex case is sideways because it would allow it to be used well when unfolded. (Also cuz horizontal sliding keyboards on phones are cool). It would have to kinda get into place when sliding because of the camera bump, maybe a bit similar to the HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1 where it kinda goes left, but here it wouldn't come back since it would start uncentered.

I chose the BB Q10 keyboard because of the Fairberry project. I chose the Edge 70 because it's only 6mm thick. I chose the Razr Flex rumor phone because it's so short when folded.
