I don't know a ton about this but can't you just flash the stable/release OTA image? Google says this can be done without unlocking or losing your data: https://developers.google.com/android/ota "This page contains full OTA update packages that allow you to restore your Nexus or Pixel...

Found this on Reddit and it worked for me: 1. Go to settings -> apps -> Google Play Services -> Storage & Cache 2. Hit the Clear Storage icon 3. Hit the Clear All Data button. 4. Reboot For me it picked up the update immediately after reboot. DISCLAIMER: For me, on my phone, clearing all the...

Thank you everyone :)

That's great, thank you!

I'm thinking of purchasing the 3a XL but there's a key feature I need and I can't find confirmation of it anywhere. Will the 3a XL respond to "OK google" with the screen off and no charging cable attached? I will be using a Wear OS device for smart unlock once it wakes up, I just need to know...

Couple things to try (which you probably already did but I'll throw it out there): 1. When you connect the USB cable you should see some type of notice on the phone asking if you're connecting to charge or for storage access (not sure what it looks like on the Moto but all my Android phones...

I use DriverMode and it works really well as a Cortana replacement. Like you I went through a bunch of different options but I never found a better alternative. I do see that you've tried it already however so it's unfortunate that it's not working for you. It has an option in the Bluetooth...

I have a G6 as well. I had this problem with Nougat and it was very intermittent. Over the course of 6 months I had 1 text from my son and 1 text from my brother come through as Chat. All of the other texts from them came through as regular texts (same phones). I was using Textra at the time and...

bobdob likely has the correct answer. Go into the stock app and long press one of the messages that came only to the stock app. Then select Details. If the message type is something other than Text Message or Mulit-Media Message (like Chat or Advanced Message) it's likely RCS and not handled by...

I use Glimpse Notifications: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.nullgrad.glimpse Works great for me.

I use Glimpse Notifications on my G6. Works very well for this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.nullgrad.glimpse

The Drivemode app will tell you you've received a text, ask it you want it read, and allow to respond with your voice all without touching your phone (which you have to to with Android Auto). It allows for auto launch with vehicle motion or bluetooth connection. There is a small one-time fee to...

Go to Settings -> Home Screen -> Select Home and choose Home & app drawer.

I've had this over 5 years worth of android phones. Tried all the different settings (unlimited access to battery, unlimited access to data, wi-fi on/off) just as you have. The gmail app will always work fine for 30 minutes or so and then stop retrieving mail until I open the app and refresh it...

Right. I forgot about that feature and it's still a problem for me. I remember Win Phone had the feature where you could check the "connect in a different way" box and it would make Cortana's interactions simulate an incoming call so your car would always route it through the car's stereo. For...
