In my experience, Motorola is superior feature-.wise but the Pixel has far better build-quality. As for timely updates, they are at opposite ends of the spectrum, with Pixels being the first to receive them and Motorola being among the last. Since it won't be your primary phone, I don't think...

I had a similar problem with Visible when I went to activate my OnePlus Open. This was when it was very new to the market, similar to your situation. However, online support was able to overnight me a physical SIM. And I see now that the Open is listed by them as eSIM-compatible. Seems like it...

He surely did.

I moved last year, and as sometimes happens, couldn't find some items after unpacking at the new location. The "victims" this time were a prescription bottle and my phone charger. Replacing the prescription was no problem, and the charger wasn't an issue initially since my wife had the same...

Unfortunately, that's exactly right.

The ongoing animosity between Google and Amazon has just been kicked up a notch. The screenshot below is an email I received this morning.

I'm not familiar with swappa, but I've had this phone since the day it was released in the U.S. and no problems at all.

If it follows in the vein of the Razr+ 2023, it'll be a great device (as long as you can live with Motorola's slow update record).

Congrats! Though the Fold is a fine device, I also found the Open to be "just right." My wife and I each got our own 1+ Open 5 months ago, and no regrets.

Good find! Your solution works too, but I'm still keeping the Auto Notification app as it does many other things besides making silent notifications behave.

SD Maid is actually better than the ilk, but I believe its uninstall option exists for all apps, even uninstallable system apps (unless you have root). The way to uninstall it would be by using ADB. https://www.makeuseof.com/uninstall-android-app-adb-system-apps-bloatware/

Better than nothing, but it probably leaves a distaste for the brand. Oh well, you liked it enough to get it once; maybe the second time will be the charm. GL!

My wife made a similar change and loves it. She went from iPhone and iPad Mini to a OnePlus Open. She was in the Apple camp so long though that she made the 1+ look like an iPhone by enabling the "Standard mode." That causes the app icons to appear on the home screen(s) without an app drawer...

Just tried it again (3 hours later) and it updated fine. They must have realized they had a problem, or their server was overloaded from people updating simultaneously.

Got the usual update notification and everything proceeded normally until it came time to restart the phone. At which point I got the following error: Reset and tried again but same result. I then manually restarted and it seemed to work, but upon checking, I was still on the April update. My...
