    Moto Edge Screen Disaster

    There are 57 pages about this issue in the moto edge+ forums. My original phone, which I ordered within the hour it became available, had the issue. I got a prompt replacement from Verizon and it has been flawless. Others have not been so fortunate, requiring multiple replacements. it's a...

    "Extended Network"

    Thanks for the reply. With respect to the signal at home, I'm a half mile from the tower in clear line of sight, so signal is 5x5.

    "Extended Network"

    Thanks. one suggestion from that thread was cycle Airplane Mode in/off to force reacquisition of the best tower. I'll try that next time, although I haven't seen an indication to alert if I'm in or out of the VZW network.

    "Extended Network"

    My Verizon moto edge+ sometimes announces "Extended Network" when I'm sitting at home with full-bar Verizon service from a tower a half mile away. There are no other visual or audible indications. I understand this happens when the phone locks on to another tower, but I'm mystified as to why, or...

    Moto Edge+ major screen issue, green and blotchy after update.

    I had a display problem that was similar but involved gray "smudges" and the screen developed a greenish cast. Verizon replaced it in two days without issue. Screen capture didn't show it so I took a pic with my wife's phone. Hmmm... not seeing the attachment icon...

    "Mark All Read" as an option in forums?

    When joining a new forum I'd like the ability to check "Mark All Read" as a baseline. I don't see that option. Am I missing it?

    "Edge Touch" Not Working

    Issue is resolved. several hours after applying the QPB30.188.43 update, the features mysteriously appeared. I don't think I've observed delayed behavior like that; the phone was restarted several times after the update without showing the missing features, and there was no restart later. The...

    "Edge Touch" Not Working

    Edit: Resolved with build update and waiting several hours. Last week I got a new motorola edge plus but had to get a warranty replacement after several days due to a defective screen. Verizon was better than excellent in handling the warranty replacement. As of right now I have both phones...

    Google At-a-Glance Not Working

    I have a Moto Z Force Droid upgraded from Nougat to Oreo some months ago. I got an app notice that Google Feed is being deprecated and replaced by At-a-Glance, which I found present in the available widgets and moved to an available screen. It shows and updates date-time and weather but...

    "Oops... Can you try again?"

    Sorry I failed to post resolution. As B. Diddy suggested, the next update fixed the issue. Thanks.

    "Oops... Can you try again?"

    On my Moto Z Force (Nougat), Google Assistant has started giving the answer above to most questions. I checked for threads here and found a similar thread on the Pixel 2 but nothing here. I reverted back to factory app and it worked with that version, but forgot to turn off auto update so it...

    Gmail Client IMAP/POP3

    Add-on question: If I make the changes to POP and delete/redo the phone installation, then go back and set to IMAP, will the phone account retain its POP configuration? Would that be a way to trick Gmail?

    Gmail Client IMAP/POP3

    Thanks. I've done those steps except for deleting and re-adding the account on the phone. So it sounds like the setting is global for all accounts? I was hoping to have Gmail act as IMAP and the third-party as POP3. But I missed the key step of deleting/adding on the phone. Thanks for your...

    Gmail Client IMAP/POP3

    My wife just got a Pixel 2 phone running Oreo (nice, snappy phone!). We've set up her Gmail and third-party account on the Gmail client. The Gmail client appears to set up all accounts as IMAP (sync with server) but she prefers not sync deletions from phone to server. I spent an hour trying...
