Have you been using your Microsoft Active Pen on your Z4? What is your experience?

Here's one I took at a basketball game. I was 18 rows up in the upper deck, and it was decently dark. I'd say if you know you're going to need zoom past 1.5x-2x that this camera is the better result, because it's optical zoom so there's no loss in resolution. I took it to Chicago and used it...

Sounds like you have a buggy phone. I've had none of these things happen on my Z2P.

I could get on board with this too.

I'd be on board with that

So, sounds like it's a Moto problem, and not a phone problem.

Looks like it's only available in Brazil. Not something that will be needed here state-side. Maybe it's like a DirecTV antenna, that can pull TV or maybe pull ATSC signals out of the air? Link: https://www.motorola.com.br/moto-z2-play-power-pack-dtv-edition/p

That could get confusing, because none of the battery mods have the same capacity as the phones, and none of the phones have the same capacity as each other, so it's not a 1:1 comparison. Also, how would it handle mods with internal batteries that are not specifically to charge the phone? I'm...

Used to have about one every 2 weeks, now only maybe once a month.

I have highly recommended the Z/Play series to anyone who will listen, and after 9 months, will continue to. I've noticed very good camera improvements on the software side, the past few months, and that makes this phone good even for quick snapshots. I can slap my camera mod on if I'm going...

I don't use a case, only screen protection. I've been through about 5 glass screen protectors for a price of about $20 altogether. I generally take care of my phones, but also, with the mods, I find it much more beneficial to not have a bumper/case on the phone. I have my moto battery mod on...

It's annoying about once a week. But its benefits far outweigh any annoyances. Been using mine for 9 months.

It's probably happened to me 10 times in the 6+ months I've had the phone. It was only inconvenient one of those ~10 times. I have a question for you now. Whenever you re-start your phone (or it re-starts itself), do you get a notification asking if you signed in __ days ago? Where __ is the...

So what are your thoughts?

For me, I just have the glass screen protector and a mod covering the phone. I don't care if the sides get dinged, because the phone was $400.
