Well seeing how none of us in our family have ever used Google pay or even know what NFC is ... I think the phones are going to be just fine. The three phones arrived last week, I chopped their sim cards, and fired up the phones and they all work just fine. They seem to be good phones that do...

So my wife's Samsung S5 is four years old and she would like a new phone. Both of my daughters have Moto G4's and are starting to have battery issues after two years. I've got a Moto Z Play that is still rocking and in general I've had great luck with my various Moto phones. With the current...

I am at Day 5 so far and I cannot believe how solid the phone is running. Everything seems faster/snappier. And the crazy thing is the battery life has gotten even better if that was even possible. I run my phone a lot during the day between calls (people actually still do this with phones)...

My Z Play Droid updated to Oreo yesterday and knock on wood, so far everything is running very well. I even think it is snappier when launching apps and just in general. Battery life so far has been good as well. Time will tell. Not sure I like the fact that my screen is now clogged down...

My new Moto Z Play Droid came in yesterday. I got it up and running in short order. There is a definite difference in the feel in how a USB-C charger feels when it is plugged into this phone. There is a kind of "snap" feel to it, where on my old one it didn't feel that way. That definitely...

Motorola is sending me a new phone as of yesterday.

I have been dealing with a charging issue as well. I have a thread that I posted on here a week or so ago. Mine would only re-charge if I rebooted the phone. Then in the past few days, similar to yours, the charging icon is still lit up after I unplug it. My phone even has been flashing a...

I have tried everything with this phone, including a complete factory reset. It will only charge on the low voltage chargers (I have a Motorola brand one) and even then it is hit or miss and nearly every time I have to re-boot the phone. I've tried multiple cables too, including a brand new...

Has anyone experienced any charging issues with your Z Play? I am going one year with my Z Play. I love the thing still and the major selling point for me, battery life, is still awesome. I run it hard and still at the end of the day am at over 50% in battery most days. However, lately I am...

It is an interesting update. I installed it yesterday. Smaller and round icons. I can fit more on the screen. Not sure how I like the swipe up to get to the tray versus the old touch the dotted icon setup. I am sure it will grow on me.

Open the contact. Push the pencil looking icon at the top right (edit command). On the next screen push the three dots at the top right. Select "Set Ringtone" and choose any ring tone that is listed on your phone.

I ended up buying the Z Play Droid a few weeks ago. So far I really like the phone. The battery life is amazing. I miss the smaller size of the Turbo, but everything else about the Z Play I like better.

So I finally got a chance to shoot a few photos with my Z Play Droid. Full disclosure, I was using the A Better Camera app. These photos are untouched outside of slight crops. Decent enough for a smart phone camera when my DSLR is not handy or practical.

Honestly, I haven't taken many pictures with it yet. I know many hated the Turbo's camera when it came out but I found over the long haul with various upgrades and using the app A Better Camera, that I could take some pretty good pictures with it. At least good enough for social media stuff...

I have had my Z Play Droid for a week now. I went from an original Turbo to this phone. If my 27 month old Turbo would let me run hard for a full day (like it did for the first 18 months I had it) I would still be using it but over time that battery just lost its capacity to to keep up with...
