    Bluetooth Challenges

    Yes, there is an option for refresh and I have used it to no avail. I think I'll just order and try another pair of Bluetooth earbuds and if I can't get them to connect, I'll post again. Thx

    Bluetooth Challenges

    Thanks for the suggestion and instructions. Turning on Safe Mode didn't help. Still no Bluetooth recognition of the earbuds, even though my Kindle recognized them with no problem. Just to be clear: the way to scan for a Bluetooth device from the Moto G5s Plus is to turn Bluetooth off, and then...

    Bluetooth Challenges

    On my Moto G5s plus, I continue to have Bluetooth issues. The latest is trying to pair some Anker SoundBuds Slim+ Even when the phone is in pairing mode--as are the buds--the phone doesn't recognize them. I was then able to pair the earbuds with my Kindle with no difficulty. Also, my Moto...

    Saving Wet Moto G5s Plus: How to reboot charging system?

    Strangely, my Moto G5s Plus seems to have resurrected itself. However, on the Turbo charger, it took all night for the phone to go from an 11% to 85% charge. While on the Turbo charger, the phone cycles between the "charging" notice at the bottom of the screen and no notice. I don't know if that...

    Saving Wet Moto G5s Plus: How to reboot charging system?

    Thx for your reply. Any idea what it would cost via Motorola or elsewhere to fix this phone? Or would I be better off putting the money toward a replacement?

    Saving Wet Moto G5s Plus: How to reboot charging system?

    I dropped my Moto G5s Plus in the toilet of a Porta Potty (don't ask!). Due to the sewage and sludge, the phone wasn't immersed but sat on top of the water. It had a case on it that partly protected it. I did the bag of rice thing overnight and to my surprise, the phone mostly worked. The only...

    Camera - is it really slow?

    The camera has gotten faster with updates. I also find it is faster when choosing "Professional" mode than standard mode. There is also a rapid fire (burst mode), I believe, that should help with actions shots. I have not had any problem with blurred action shots but catching the exact moment...

    G5S Plus First Impressions

    I got the Moto G5s Plus a couple of weeks ago and I'm crazy about it. The larger screen (though essentially the same size phone as the G5 Plus) helps more than I expected when reading and watching videos. The build quality approximates that of a $600 phone. Battery life is as good or better...

    Call Quality on G5s Plus?

    Actually, I upgraded to the G5s Plus and haven't had the problem, even though it's the same sim card

    Call Quality on G5s Plus?

    Thx. I think the problem may be a loss of my wireless carrier signal in a new office where I'm working now.

    Call Quality on G5s Plus?

    I'm missing calls on my G5 Plus, which may be due to a low signal. I also don't get as many bars (signal quality) on this phone as I did on my old iPhone 6s. Any idea if the new G5s Plus, given its new antenna bands, will be any better?

    Moto G4 Plus 4 gig ram 64 store or G5 Plus 2 gig ram

    A related question: I have the Moto G5 Plus (32 gig) and love it. However, I am still within the return window on this phone (Costo) and am wondering if I should buy the upcoming S version (Moto G5s Plus). Any word on when it will be available in the US and at what price? The only thing I...

    Moto G5 Plus updates

    I agree but that's not the case. See screenshots.

    Moto G5S and G5S Plus already due.

    Any update on the G5S+ from the Motorola launch in NY today? Or from anywhere else?
