No update for the UK?!

The fact there realising newer phones every 5 seconds!!!. I am finding the G5 to be one, if not one of the worse unstable phones I have ever had!.
I had the G4 before and then changed to the G5 when it came out 3/4 months ago (think it was when it was first released in UK?). The Google screen (when you swipe left) always says that "Launcher 3 Has Stopped working" and also call quality is bad with calling people.. (from what they have said lol).
I don't think it's a faulity device, as I have done full system reset and not really into rooting etc.. I just can't believe how buggy the phone is and as mentioned. Even when I bought it brand new/factory sealed. There was no updates. It's as though they don't care as there more bothered about the other handsets in the Moto series!.

Use evie launcher (playstore) - its the best one Iv used & has loads of extra features such as badge notifications (enable in its settings)
I don't know why you are facing so many problems - nothing wrong with my Moto G5

Thankyou. I thought about using another launcher lol. I don't know why either. Had the problem (as per pic) since I bought it and before I even installed any apps. Will see how it goes.

Hello All.
I'm on reteu software channel and yesterday I have recieved an OTA update that contains some improvement and android security patch 1 march. All went well except that it totally failed to install, first it tried to boot back, but froze when starting android window popped up, then I had to reboot it manually and then it ended up on a recovery screen showing error.
After the third reboot it managed to restart properly but gapps had been reset to default.
This is an xt1676 3gb ram model, with locked bootloader.
New build version Npp25.13-72
It is possible that this was an isolated case, but wanted to warn you guys

Another Sweet Security Patch (No Oreo In Next Update)

Yes There's an announcement u might Won't Like
https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/Solution/MS127512

Yup!! Got the update atleast there is a security update.

Got April security patch for Moto g5s plus in India. But no Oreo updates.

My recommendation....once officially updated into Oreo...give it away to any family or friend member and go with HTC or Google not Motorola anymore....unless you dont care at all about updates....bless you guys!

Same. Never buying a Motorola phone again. Poor camera+slow updates have killed it to me.

Moto is dead. After falcon, the downfall began, Lenovo was the finishing touch. I agree, save a little more and get a front line device.

Same here, Lenovo dissapointed me a lot, i liked a lot when it was with Google. But my next phone probably would be a Pixel, Xiaomi or a Nokia. No more Motorola

Now that RETIN has got the April update, I'm curious if the next update's release notes will mention if we'll get Oreo update next or not

Motorola: A true test of patience.
I've had it enough now, we've been waiting since February for this update and every month there's another security update. That's it I'm so done with motorola I'm going with rr rom from today.

April Security Patch

Just received April security patch on XT1685 (RETEU - Poland). NPNS25.137-93-10 - only 41 MB, so we have to still wait for Oreo.

First of all, the title of that topic is imprecise (it does not say about the APRIL update but about the "SWEET" update - what is it?!)
Secondly, there are only 2 posts talking about a possible coming, without any particulars that someone has already received.
That is why this topic is better.

nothing yet in retla, probably in 10 days

No other company except Nokia is providing Oreo update to its midrange smartphones.
Nokia also sells overpriced smartphones.
(i.e. Nokia 6) then they provide quick updates.
Motorola will provide oreo to G Series.
and G Series is more value for money.

True. Our device gets regularly security patches, will get Oreo soon, offers great hardware with an almost vanilla android OS for round about 200€.
It's my second Motorola and it won't be my last.
The only device coming to my mind that offers good value for that price is from Huawei (Honor) and I won't swap to a chinese device with worse update intervals.
This is a midrange phone, if someone wants Oreo at once he should buy a Pixel or a OP5. I'm not willing to spend that amount of money.

I am from India too... but no update for me till now....

May be they are providing phase by phase. It's already 2 days. You should be receiving by now.

Anyone facing charging issues after the update? And faster battery drain? Anyway to roll back?

I updated, new camera app seems to produce much better photos? Is it placebo on my end?

Any way to make this update flashable through TWRP? I'm using a deoxeded rom with Nov 2017 update and it doesn't find new updates.

Twrp flashable builds, especially when deodexed won't find any OTA because they aren't official firmware anymore. That's good because any OTA would hardbrick your device.
The only thing you can do is ask the dev of your ROM to update the source to the latest available full firmware which is as far as I know 93-4 or (92-4 for India) containing january security patch. These are full firmwares, not just as an OTA patch.

Gesture Navigation

Has anyone heard if the G8 will have gesture navigation (navigation pill)? I know it's a feature of Pie, but I'm not sure if it's something that can be disabled by manufacturers.

Gesture is terrible. It's not consider real swipe.

The g8 is a hard pass from me sadly. I wanted to upgrade from my g6 but there's almost ZERO reason to upgrade minus the 855 which I'm sure the LG slow ass skin will kill anyhow. I've my g6 and it was huge upgrade over my g3. But I still miss the curved back of my g3. Pixel 4 hopefully won't let me down like the g8 has

Question One ui 5 link needed for S901U

Has anyone captured the link for One Ui 5 on s901u?
If you have enrolled in One Ui 5 beta for s901u and haven't downloaded the update yet, you can try to capture the link easily by using the following instructions.
How to capture the update.zip file to share with other people:
1. Download HTTP canary app
2. Open HTTP Canary app
3. Start the update by pressing "download" and don't pause it
4. Go back to canary app and start it and it will grab the link for you

I got in to the beta. I have a Galaxy S22 from T-Mobile. Unfortunately, I don't know how to capture an update zip. Sorry I wasn't able to help out.

Given that you said T-Mobile, I'm assuming yours is a Snapdragon model. I should still ask, how's the performance on A13? The lag on the Exynos model is kililng me, and its an probably OS version agnostic problem, but I thought I should ask.

It has been great. I'm not seeing any lag. The only issue I have is sometimes my 5G is slow at work but that is because there is no signal in parts of the building.
It does seem to be a bit snappier than my Pixel 6 Pro. I have had my Pixel 6 Pro on bit A12 and the A13 beta. Too bad the S22 Ultra costs so much or I would have got that one. This 6.1" screen is gonna take getting used to, especially coming from a OnePlus 10 Pro on the line that I have the S22 on.

Wish that would've been my experience. Latest stable update (august A12) and this phone is still slower than a god damned S4 mini.
On the screen side, I had wanted to get something smaller after the OnePlus 6t so I'm fine with the 6.1". Cameras are good, display is good, battery life is ok, audio is good, but the SoC (or its firmware/drivers/whatever) is horrendous. Worst phone I've owned in a decade.

Hi,
I've used HttpCanary to capture the update link, however I am on an unlocked variant of the S22 (S901U1). I hope this helps in your findings. This is on the MetroPCS CSC (TMK), however it should auto-switch CSCs.

I'd just tried to see if I could downgrade and it wants me to wipe all of my data again, though I have a backup it'd take a long time to restore. So I'll try to get it as soon as I can, if not a future OneUI 5 update.
Have you tried using the
Code:
adb sideload
function? I'm not sure if that'd work but you have to rename the .bin to "update.zip" and sideload it, and then it's installed if it all goes right.

S901U1 is not S901U. U1 is unlocked, U is carrier. Be careful. You might need a modded Odin or be very selective about the slots you flash.
