this is just ridiculous - Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion

Had the phone since this past Sunday and have only charged it one time. Phone came delivered with 100% battery straight from Amazon. I literally am dumbfounded as to how efficient this thing is and how snappy and lagless it is as well. I'll let the screenshots do the rest of the talking. This phone is amazing!

It runs on magic and unicorns. I used to be all stingy with battery back when I had my Moto G 2014 but once I got this little beast I stopped caring, even when foregoing all optimizations I still get at least 8 hours of SoT.

Im really curious is this more of a SD625 thing or a Motorola thing.
A thorough head to head with the other 625s would be interesting

Honestly, my best devices have been Moto phones, even after the Lenovo take over.

this is more of a sd 625 plus stock android thing, moto just made the right choices and put it in a wonderful shell made of metal and glass.

Agreed. Hardware/spec choices were made for usability and power efficiency, rather than to fight in a spec war.

And they succeeded in grabbing my attention. Now, if they can improve the camera in speed and low light I'll be hooked for life

I have over a 100 apps installed and I see no lag or battery drain, definitely one of the best implementation of software + hardware of any android phone that I have used (and I have used maybe 10 different android phones including many flagships)

What recovery are you using?
Had this ROM installed since about 10PM last night. The ONLY time this ROM choked was when I pushed my phone to overclock between 1.8-2.035GHz (Which ran GREAT for about an hour before heavy multi tasking and a wrong governor caused my phone to freeze) The battery life is great, the Liquid addons are awesome. Best AOSP ROM out. Period.

I agree!
***Would like to have an option to change Text option from Contacts long-press on Contact photo to allow for Google Voice or to allow to set GV as the default app for texting, particularly from Icons.***
Also, still having issues with Lockscreen types - Sense nor Sense 3.0 (Ring) will activate; Ring activating AOSP style Lockscreen; Sense activating Rotary syle Lockscreen.
***Edit***
Found the Sense 3.0 style lockscreen as Halo.
***Edit***
I'm an idiot...if you have Google Voice installed and want to text someone from their Contacts pic via longpress just select the SMS icon (first time, as you can set GV to be default) and you'll then be offerred to set a default app (stock app or GV).

Flash the newest from ROM Manager (5.0.2.1). The one you're using is significantly outdated and, if I may venture a guess, is likely the reason why you're having a troubled installation.
Does the camera have these features?
1. Touch focus?
2. Focus while recording video?
3. Zoom while recording?
4. 720p?

Release Preview vs Consumer Preview?

Hello forum.
I was just wondering what is the main difference between the new Release preview and consumer preview? Is it like a better version of windows 8?
Thanks
to be blunt the whole thing is a lot more polished
The apps work a lot better, the graphics are better
So far stability is better. I don't have a multi monitor setup on this PC just now but apparently that's been improved
Metro looks a lot more usable, the tiles are a much more sensible size.
is it worth the upgrade over the CP?
without a doubt, Music, email (exchange works again), messaging, people, hubs all working sweet. I still don't like the people hub compared to Windows phone, but its a big improvement over CP
I think they did alot of work on drivers too, im not having anymore of the many driver issues i had at first, just finger scanner. The stability is great, and its faster.

What issues? I use Chrome with Windows Release Preview and it works fine.
Just saying Release is having some issues with chrome doesn't tell us what the problem is, we need more information to help you with it.
EDIT: Sorry, I just saw your thread and I have replied to it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what your problem is as Chrome and Flash both work fine on my netbook running the same OS.

[Q] Lag When Opening Gallery From The Camera

I get massive delay when I got to open the gallery to look at photos when I am inside the camera app. Anyone have any ideas as to why and how to solve it?
Surely I am not the only one with this issue? In fact I know I am not.

Same problem here with up to 5 sec complete freezes when opening gallery. No idea what to begin with.
The vast majority of samsung devices have this issue. You could try the lenovo super csmera, comes with its own gallery and I have to say I prefer the camera
---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------
As for a fix, a highly optimized rom would be an answer.
Same here.
Only a second or two for me
Tolerable. Using NOVA, doubt that makes a difference.
For me it was because Gallery was syncing with Dropbox. I enabled the sync OUTSIDE of the Gallery and now when I choose gallery, it loads much much quicker for me
Does your gallery settings have sync/display of synced content? I feel like that is the culprit

Opinions On the Amazon Fire (5th gen)

I picked mine up last week for the $35 Black Friday sale and it is the best 7-inch (although it isn't exactly that large) tablet I have ever owned in my opinion.
I would think the same thing if I could just get music apps to work on it
At $35 I think it's fracking fabulous!
I got a 2nd one that I might give to an older friend of my family. Just set up as little more than a media player (movies, tv shows, music loaded onto the sd card). Using SlimLP or CM & set up to be as easy to use as possible. At $35, why not?
A 3rd one for a friends child (moderated use / screen time).
And I almost feel like I should have got yet another one. Just to keep on hand in case I think of someone I'd like to give it to. If it had built-in gps I probably would have got one to set up & give as a car gps. You can grab gps off a phone over BT but it's just not as nice as built-in.

Are you on the stock amazon OS, SlimLP or CM12.1? What music apps aren't working for you?
Its better than the original Fire, which I have owned for a few years & had it on LP before it died. The experience here has improved noticeably, especially when installing apps in the background or using PDFs (both would really lag the OG KF).
General performance for reading is excellent, I open PDFs mostly that are ~20-50pgs usually and I can read them lag-free. The Kindle app seems alright too, didn't have issues with storing books, so will move onto comics/manga at some point.
Screen? Looks acceptable to me, but the min brightness is too bright for me. It's much brighter than other LCD/IPS based devices I've used.
Overall the experience so far has been better than with my Encore Mini, which randomly stopped charging not long after the return window.

I am on slimLP, have you tried keeping it for at least 30 minutes with screen off? It usually crashes mine within 15 minutes.
For$35 this thing is great! Thanks to the devs we can install Google play and basically make this a normal Android tablet and hide all the Amazon crapware. It's pretty responsive if you ask me. The screen isn't the best, but it's not a breaker by any means.
Best at all 7 inch using it as remote control with droimote app for my shield tv that is the reason,because I was using my phone,with CM12 pretty fast.
For the $35 I spent it is definitely worth it. My biggest gripe is the screen. They don't appear to have compensated for the pixel shape. It is slightly condensed in portrait and slightly wider in landscape. This is noticeable with text and icons. Since this is a kindle device I am kind of surprised. That said, the resolution is not as bad as I expected. Also amazon really needs more functionality to interact with with the Firetv. The other downer is there is not even a basic integration of Alexa or dictation.

No I didn't test over 15min originally, thought it was crashing right away on you.
Today, I'm currently over 30 min on pandora. Screen was turned off via power button. When I hit over 1 hour I'll test screen off via auto timeout. I know it really shouldn't make a difference at all but I'll try it anyway.

Best tablet I've ever owned I paid £50 for mine would have gotten another if I had the money black friday
Sent from my Amazon Fire 2015
I bought the tablet for my mom on ebay about a week before it even went on sale (Stupid me, forgot all about black friday/cyber monday and couldn't return) and this thing is pretty slick. I actually went ahead and bought one for myself for the $35 and it'll be here next week. I spent a lot of time looking at different tablets, specs (screen size, ppi, resolution, processor brand/speed/technology, RAM/size/ddr2/ddr3, and a few other things) and this thing is well worth it.
Some might say 7" is small but once you've got it in your hand it feels really good, might not be a 720p resolution for those HD movies but 7" or 10" your eyes are not going to notice a difference.
I don't think I'll keep the Fire OS on mine, wanting to just install android but I'm keeping the Fire OS on my moms. It's got a lot of bloatware it needs hidden but she's going to use it primarily for book reading, so a lot of the Fire OS stuff will work well for her.
This tablet is a steal. I bought two during the Black Friday sale.
I hid all the bloat and installed PlayStore for my mom. After letting my brother and mom use it for a few hours, they really like it. Especially since it is small. When my second one comes in, hopefully tomorrow, I'm going to try one of the custom ROMs available. After messing with it for a bit, I'll give it to my sister and see how she likes it.
My main tablet is an 8" Windows 10 tablet. There are times when I miss using an Android based tablet. So I will definitely borrow this from my sister frequently.

Just to say you aren't alone. Only used the stock rom with some of the stuff trimmed and didn't actually realise that was why it was stopping until checking after reading this yesterday. I just thought I'd reached the end of album/playlist as I wasn't paying enough attention. Playback stopped quite quickly on poweramp even though it was supposed to be looping an album.
I think its great. And it is already seeing a bit of development which I am excited about. Mine is currently rocking cm 12.1 and running like a dream. A quad core processor with a decent panel for $50-35$ is nuts.

I like it. Screen is nice. Battery life is great (got over 8 SOT first night). It never gets hot. PERFECT size for reading comic books.
Negatives: Might be slightly underpowered. I've felt some lags and frame skipping in the animations. Speaker is not great. Not having root is a (hopefully temporary) drag. "Android OS" is keeping my tablet from deep sleeping and I don't know how to tell what is actually keeping it awake.

I like it. Screen is nice. Battery life is great (got over 8 SOT first night). It never gets hot. PERFECT size for reading comic books.
Negatives: Might be slightly underpowered. I've felt some lags and frame skipping in the animations. Speaker is not great. Not having root is a (hopefully temporary) drag. "Android OS" is keeping my tablet from deep sleeping and I don't know how to tell what is actually keeping it awake.

Try installing greenify and enabling aggressive doze mode. That fixed the idle drain problem on my nexus 7.

Eh not in my experience. I own the 35 dollar kindle and in my opinion this tablet destroys it.

Sorry to be so off topic here but after using the tablet for a few more days I can say the only game it really "struggled" with (frame skipping) was Lara Craft Go. I've played Limbo, KotOR and others since and only ever caught the occasional lag. I'm very impressed with the Snapdragon 617, so impressed I ordered a Moto G that uses the same chip.
Can you play 60fps video in YouTube? Mine doesn't display it as an option (will only go up to 480p in videso with 720p/60fps and 1080p/60fps

I tried greenify with the aggressive doze mode enabled but the drain persists unfortunately.
A little late, but maybe, still useful - We do have a

A new update is coming.
Check the source code here:http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list...LL&search=v521
There used to be v10b source code and it disappeared two days ago. Today there is source code for a newer version v10c: LGV521WG_Marshmallow_Android_V521WG_v10c.
So it means we should be able to root our tablet once anyone pulls the new firmware v10c.
Update: I just checked system update, and there is an update with size of 452.5 MB, which would be automatically downloaded between 11 pm and 4 am.
Vola....

fastboot oem unlock works. I unlocked the bootloader of my V521 with this command.
