    Nougat update bricked my Moto Z Force 11-30-2016

    Past few years I recall reading about updates on the Razr, and what not, where the update bricked the device. Doing a google search for nougat update this morning showed many had problems like mine with their Nexus devices following a nougat update a couple of months ago. I should have googled...

    Nougat update bricked my Moto Z Force 11-30-2016

    In the event that the update is buggy, as this one apparently is, I would read on the forums posts such as mine. Once it seemed all was cleared up, fixed, then install the update. I don't like beta testing unless I volunteer for it.

    Nougat update bricked my Moto Z Force 11-30-2016

    I installed it this morning when it was shown on my phone as ready to go. Two hours later, the screen flickering on and off every few minutes, I drove over to VZW and they are having a refurbished device sent to me. Fortunately for me they didn't accept my old Razr HD Maxx as a trade in because...

    OWNERS: What do you NOT LIKE about your Moto Z Force DROID?

    HAH ! You just taught an old dog (67) a new trick ! Yes I turn my screen on with the button, I didn't know there was another way. How about turning it off ? Seems I have to use the button to accomplish that .

    OWNERS: What do you NOT LIKE about your Moto Z Force DROID?

    Having had a Droid Razr for a couple of years, followed by the vastly improved RazrMaxxHD for another couple of years, I'm used to the top button turning the screen on, the button underneath for volume. What possessed Motorola to have two volume buttons at the top, and the turn on button...

    Z force or note 7

    If the exploding batteries hadn't happened I would have a Note 7 right now. I'm not 'happy' that Samsung has these problems, but very happy that I ended up with the Moto Z force. This is only my third cell phone/smart phone in my 67 years, and all have been Motorola. So I'm pretty familiar with...

    Got An Old Fashioned Film/Plastic Screen Protector

    I bought my Moto Z Force over at my local VZW store about 10 days ago. Upgrading from my Razr MaxxHD. Love the device. So at the store I told the salesman that I wanted a screen protector, and he went to the display and picked one out. He was taking it out of the package to install and I said...

    Bluetooth Earbud for the Moto Z Force ?

    Does the 5200 have a plug in charger to the earbud ? I notice a lot of complaints from people who say the magnetic charger of the Voyager/Legend series is inconsistent. I looked at the Jaybird but I don't want the X2 feature in a bluetooth headset.

    Bluetooth Earbud for the Moto Z Force ?

    Thanks, I found those, as well as a new single bud called Motorola Hint. I checked amazon and the hint got better reviews than the verve, neither got 5 stars. I think I may go with a Planotroics Legend 5200. I haven't made my mind up yet.

    Bluetooth Earbud for the Moto Z Force ?

    I need an earbud type bluetooth for my Moto Z Force phone. I had a Motorola Command One paired with my old Droid Razr, and the Razr MaxxHD. Lost it and never replaced it. I am retired and don't need it for work, but I like to talk on the phone hands free. So I looked around the web, around town...

    Moto Z Force Heat

    My first device was a Droid 4G Razr about 4-5 years ago. Didn't get any kind of cell phone until I was 62. Anyway, it would get hot. To the point where I called VZW. No worries they said, and it lasted the 2 years and beyond. (sold it on ebay after my upgrade) I upgraded to the RazrMaxxHD and...

    Couple of Days With the Phone and A Question About Volume

    I don't have a solution, but I too find the volume lacking. Maybe it is a Motorola thing, but the Droid RazrMaxx HD I've used the past couple of years suffered from the same shortcoming. With the Moto Z, as with the aforementioned Razr, I have to use speaker phone to comfortably use the phone...

    Best Cases for Moto Z Force

    I just got the Moto Z on Saturday. Had a Droid RazrMaxx HD the past couple of years. I'm loving this device. I bought the Tech21 Evo Check case at the VZW store when I picked up the phone. I probably wouldn't have gotten a case at all, but the furnished wooden back is so slippery that I wasn't...
