    speaker locked off except during phone operations

    Have a 2016 moto g generation 3 running Android version 6.0. I had an audio firmware or app firmware problem I will relate herein that I've cleared up in case others have the same issue or better an Android software engineer sees this. The problem appears to be a firmware or app bug. I lost...

    looking for simple local music player

    Looking for a simple music player app that will play my local Android resident music on my moto g without getting tangled up with the Internet, streaming, and syncing functions that seem to dominate players I've poked around with so far. I don't mind those functions as long as they are safely...

    Why my music sound is coming from earpiece not from my speaker ?

    This same problem seems to have occurred on my moto g this morning also. I have a 2015 3rd generation unlocked phone. The phone was bought in the fall of 2015 and this is the first time I have had the issue. I have rarely been using the headphone jack. The problem is I had normal audio if...

    moto g (2015) tripod adaptor

    There is a long list of relatively inexpensive smartphone camera tripod adapters one will find on say amazon. However each smartphone has buttons, controls, and sensors in different locations such that any adapter that necessarily grabs onto the sides, top, and or bottom of a phone might press...

    Why or why not enable security lock/unlock?

    Indeed my statement was terse and misleading, as I can indeed answer the phone without unlocking. What does happen is if I accidentally touch something inadvertently while grabbing the phone to respond to a call, it sometimes interferes with my ability to answer by going into the unlock pattern...

    Why or why not enable security lock/unlock?

    I've had the newer moto g for about a year now, my first smart phone. I just turned off the security swipe pattern unlock feature as I have always found it annoying. Especially when answering phone calls that demand one enter the pattern before continuing. Up to this point I've tried to live...

    How happy are you with your Moto G³?

    Generally positive. Have been involved in computer engineering in Silicon Valley for decades. This is my first ever smartphone. Smartphones by nature because of their tiny size are awkward compared to a pc and can be annoying if one is not familiar with doing things because operations may...

    Where is my Moto G phone number hiding?

    Re: Where is my moto g phone number hiding? Indeed there it is thankyou. I actually looked in Settings...About Phone...Status but at the time that the phone number would be in SIM Status apparently didn't register with my thoughts. Probably because I was looking for something with "phone"...

    Where is my Moto G phone number hiding?

    Where is my moto g phone number hiding? I have new moto g for which I set up a Consumer Cellular phone account. That phone service has been working fine. Although I have memorized the phone number for that account, it occurred to me that somewhere within the moto g I ought to be able to...

    PC can't access Moto G files

    Would you please explain how to enable MTP with the gen 3 moto g as I'm apparently stuck in PPT and have not stumbled on where that is set up?

    PC can't access Moto G files

    Have same issue on my moto g and seems to have noticed this after allowing a system update. Searched online and for "android enable usb mtp" or "moto g enable usb mtp" any useful hits are overwhelmed by the large number of hits for previous moto g versions that had the issue. Went through...

    Securing a moto g with attachment loop

    As for water immersion, the rear cover is certainly not going to completely inhibit water entering inside. For that it would require a design with a gasket and screws along edges applying pressure. What the rear cover will do is slow water entry significantly and minimize peak pressure on any...
