Roger that. How is it even possible for the battery level to substantially increase in safe mode without charging?

@B. Diddy I put the phone into safe mode when it was at 29% battery level. Over the next couple of hours, with no charging, the level actually rose slowly to 48%. Then I restarted the phone into regular mode and within 5 minutes it dropped to 0% and shut off. Does this suggest any particular issue?

@B. Diddy I downloaded AccuBattery, it says 83%. How do I put the phone into safe mode? The battery only costs $20 but is quite difficult to change, not sure if I can do it. Not sure what a phone store would charge to change it.

Hello, my phone works normally until the battery level goes sown to about 30%. Then the level suddenly drops to zero and the phone shuts off. Is this a battery issue or something else? Any fix? I've tried clearing the cache and deleting all non-essential apps, did not help. Thanks for any info, Bill

"T-Mobile (the German side of the company)" Interesting, I did not know that Orange and T-Mo are related. They appear to be competitors here in Slovakia.

Correct, this was in Slovakia.

Thanks for the reply. The guy did not chat with anyone, so either he had authority or it never was locked.

This may be a silly question, but I'd sure like to know the answer. I bought a Huawei phone at a T-Mobile store. The employee who sold me the phone said it was unlocked. When I got home, I tried it with SIM cards for 4 different operators, one was T-Mobile and the others were from competing...

I deleted and reinstalled, no joy, same result, still asking for a code, I tried the Moto and the the adapter on my wife's car, it worked immediately. So I assumed my car must be the issue. But then I tried the adapter and my old phone on my car, and it worked. The only combination that does...

It shows as one of the "Saved devices," but the phone shows the code each time I start the car.

Unfortunately, neither the video nor the manual says anything about a code. And I don't see anything about a code in the Bluetooth Settings on my phone.

So, I bought the adapter. I plugged it into the car's USB port. I tried to pair it with my Moto and the phone gives me a 6-digit "Bluetooth pairing code". How do I enter this code? There is no way to enter it on the adapter. After displaying the code for a few seconds, the code goes away and the...

The price differentials are so funny. The Motorola you linked is $79. Other models that purport to do the same things are as high as $140. And they sell them (not Motorola) for as little as $17 on Ali and Temu.

Wow, that is just what I need, thanks for the tip. I see there are several different adapters on Amazon, some of which are cheaper and higher rated, e.g., https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2YMJ8BC/ Anyone used any of these?

Prior device was Samsung S9+ running Android 10. It was convenient to just sit in the car and have it connect automatically to Spotify, now I must take the phone out of my pocket and start Spotify manually, sometimes while driving. Any hope that AA will someday be able to run via Bluetooth...
