[POLL] Moto G6 Oreo vs Pie - Your thoughts? - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

Folks,
I am interested in making a little poll.
In your oppinion, what has a better usability on the G6, oreo or pie?
Write down your Pro's/Con's and why you like to use what you use.

i hate pie when a Bluetooth head set is connoted all sound goes thru the head set. the phone does not vibrate or make a sound in android 8 it comes thru both the head set and phone

Oreo. But it was too late for me.

Does the G5s Plus suffer from that old "Ascending Ringtone" nonsense?

At the title says, does the G5s Plus suffer from this old problem?
I assume it doesn't since it has a bottom ported speaker for audio stuff. I think Moto did it before to "save your ears" but it was just annoying and ruined short sounds.
I don't think it's present in G5S plus (it'd have been a nice feature, for me at least) but what I can confirm is that it comes with Horrible ringtones!

If you want some good ringtones and notification tones you should look at my audio project on XDA. I have a lot of flashable packs. It's called stereophonic marshmallow audio.
And I ended up getting the phone at least to test, but the main problem I have now is that the system volume is extremely low.
So like the touch, lock and unlock sounds are just extremely quiet. Any idea?
Yeah, I just checked by turning them on and they are in fact, quite low - all the three of them.
Thanks for sharing your project. I'll have a look at it. It does sound like it's for rooted phones, though. I haven't rooted it yet and won't do so till it's under warranty ?

Properly Working ROM for G6?

I have been using the unofficial LineageOS from the G6 forums. I love it, but I am facing one error, I can't change in-call volume. The volume when talking on the phone is SOOO loud it hurts my ear. Can't even turn down call volume from settings.
I am running ALI_RETAIL_9.0_PPS29.55-37-4 (Pie)
Does anyone have a recommendation for a working ROM? Also to note, I am on Google Fi.

Just got the phone in hand. Ask your questions.

I do not have access to wifi right now so I can't test that part but I can answer any questions you guys might have.
Just got mine last night. You having any luck with MMS? I'm using a Fi sim card, SMS works, but no dice on the MMS.
Nevermind, got MMS and SMS working. Made some adjustments to APNs. GSM with Fi sim getting strong Band 4 reception in my area. Everything works fine for $199...
Crappy camera(not really surprised) and slow fingerprint sensor aside, it's a pretty good phone. The display is very impressive for $200.
Anyone figure out how to root it ?

Do you have a link? It's $250 on Amazon.
I have the "new" Bold N1 phone on android 9 pie, and I thought this was an issue with the phone BUT the speakerphone and headphone volume in calls(media and notification sounds is loud enough) is LOWER than every other volume on the phone and super ****ing quiet. When you go to the sound settings it gives you 4 slider bars for volume, media, ringer etc and they give you a test sound when you lift your finger off the slider, well the call volume(not the ringer) is all the way up and WAY quieter than every other slider bar test sound when it is all the way up, I tested the same slider on my pixel 3 with android pie 9 and the exact same thing, does anyone know how to make the speakerphone/in call/in call headphone volume louder? it seems like its capped as the rest of the sounds on the devices are loud and clear.
I was about to do an RMA for the device but the same problem is on the pixel 3 as well running android 9, has anyone ran into this? If you are on android 9 on any phone, Go into your settings and goto sounds and put every slider up high and listen and see if the call volume beep slider is MUCH lower than the other sliders and reply to this please or if you have a fix tell me! it makes talking on the phone almost unusable with how quiet it is and is making me want to pull my hair out.
As proof its android 9 pie and NOT either of the phones I downloaded a secondary texting app called Textnow and placed a phone call through there and low and behold the speakerphone was loud and so was my headphones but it uses data and is not my actual phone number so not usable full time so something is happening with the actual phone software app on the phones and not a speaker defect. I have tried different phone apps too from the playstore but they all connect to the same dialer and therefore use the phone instead of textnow using their own dialer/phone software.

Just google root for Helio P70. There are a few apps to root it. I am using mine for work so rooting isn't an option.

I do not have this problem either on my Pixel 3 or this phone. It's loud enough to be used a speaker phone during call. I am on T-Mobile.
I haven't had any loudness issues, but I am experiencing the infamous Android Bluetooth "stutter". Overall, for 200 bucks, it's a pretty decent phone. OLED screen is worth the price alone. Headphone jack and wireless charging are nice. Build quality seems pretty good. Almost stock software is a bonus. But this is a budget phone, so... Haven't noticed much lag that you might expect from a device with the P70 chipset. The screen is actually a little "punchier" than the 3aXL I had. At least it seemed so to me. But again, it costs 200 bucks (from Blu/Bold with $50 launch discount). Had to tinker around to get Fi sim working (my Sony H9493 and Nexus 5 with Ubuntu Touch needed zero mods for Fi sim to work) and the Bluetooth stutter may be a deal breaker if I can't straighten it out. Also, expect zero customer service and few if any software updates along with a shady reputation... Anyway, just my two cents.
Ive been looking at rooting mines and I've google how to root the Helio P70 but I couldn't find anything the search came back with different phones did you have a link what I should look for about rooting the n1
Warning guys!
The first process: having a stock ROM!
Other situation: someone with experience for revive phone if happen anything wrong.
Possible process ROOT:
- patched boot with magisk
- TWRP
So think about....

Frameroot is known to work on Mediatek SOC. Try that.

You can't just pop a sim into an unknown unlock phone with Verizon. You gonna have to call CS and beg them to let the device active on Verizon. Good luck with that.
Okay, just found the original OEM for this phone. It's call Centric S1(which strangely MSRP in India for $278 USD)
There are root articles for that phone but they probably will not work due to N1 having July 2019 security patch with Android 9.
So.... I thought the P70 will run fornite but I keep getting device not supported... Was I wrong about the P70 supporting fornite?

That's weird. . . I still can't get this thing rooted. On the other hand, it's pretty snappy ??
Can someone make it clear - it has eMMC or UFS storage type? Thanks in advance.

Nokia 2.1 ringtone too quiet but played as mp3 is almost loud enough...

Hi all, I got my Mum a Nokia 2.1 for Christmas and it's great for everything except being a phone... Is the ringtone thing an issue with the phone in general or just ours? Is that why it was cheap? I don't really want to go through the hassle of rooting it.
I even edited the ringtone in Audacity and made it bigger and a bit compressed but it still can't be heard when it's in Mum's bag, am I going to have the same problem if I get another one ?
Help!
Brian
UPDATE... got a swap-out from the shop, (actually a shopping-channel's outlet store so they are probably returns anyway) that IS actually louder. Even so, I still put amplified/sound-levelled original Nokia ringtone and SMS notifs on it and though the sliders are still maxed it is audible. When I got the first one, I 'd updated the Oreo to Pie BEFORE I saw that unlocking the bootloader was going to be more difficult but the second one was already Pie so it'll be harder to get Viper4Android on to it if I need to
Bye

Alarm doesn't sound through speakers with headphones plugged in

So I have this problem where I can't make the alarm sound through speakers when headphones are plugged in, but this only happens with all custom ROMs I tried, with MIUI it works fine and the alarm sounds through speakers. There are some alarm apps that claim to be able to work with speakers exclusively, but it just doesn't work for me. It is a shame because I don't like MIUI very much, but I'm kinda forced to use it because of this.
Is there any solution for this issue on custom ROMs, or is this a AOSP issue?
Hey there, same Problem here.
That was so important for me, that i bought and old Samsung S7 and ran it with Android 7.1.2 Nougat.
I found out, that they removed this feature on Android 8 Oreo.
Now, i have to say that i am using this S7 with Lineage Android 7.1 (i switched days ago from Resurection Remix from 2018) BUT with the newest Security Updates and guess what, its not working anymore :-(
Another problem was fixed, but now i have to deal with that annyoing situation as on pie and Q.
Maybe a developer read this and can point me to a file that i have to change myself to bring that function back.
I dont get it..
Cheers
Update: for those who might be interested.
have still my S7, but now using a S10e. Very nice device! don't regret.
Running Lineage Android 11 and alarm is doing sound through speakers even headphones are plugged in, yay!! Finally!
