Weird - a month later, and also on TMO-unlocked.

So, resurrecting a dormant thread: One of the thing nobody seems to have mentioned - and on which, for me, is the Moto "killer app", is 'Ready For'. Install on the laptop, and when your phone and your laptop are all on the same WiFi segment, it will connect - which you approve on the phone...

Well, a day on - and the experience has been uneventful and largely invisible. Worst thing I've seen was a warning 'app not compatible with OS version, check for update' message, and with the app continuing to work. Which, compared to the Pixel file lock-out fiasco is a good thing. Fun fact...

Edge+ 2023 2.4 GB, and it brought Jan 24 security update. WOO-HOO

Regarding the headphone jack - I've purchased the USB-C adapter for prior device (S20FE). Haven't tried it on the current device, and I lost track of where I put the adapter - but it should work (playing music works OK with Android Auto) when plugged in - I believe they use the USB output. The...

I took advantage of a similar deal back in mid December on the Plus - right around $540 including tax. My thing was my tendency to collect 'digital clutter', and I felt that the 512 of the Plus provided more headroom. Mine did include the OEM charging brick - I guess that's a plus for the...

In case you didn't already get it figured out, and for other folks quick reference - During Bluetooth pairing the 'code' display is to verify you are pairing to the 'right' device. Typically, the device will display a number, and you have to 'verify' that the same number is on the pairing...

No change in plan or pricing. I'm BYOD on T-mobile - so just swap SIM into the new device and go on with life. Previous device was carrier branded - which we got as part of '5G upgrade promotion' they ran 3 years back. Before purchasing, the new device, I compared the bands supported between...

Coming from a Sam S20FE 5G, and the speedtest results had been underwhelming (160 MB down,20 up), . With the Edge, in same locations, I'm getting 1.4 GB down, 86 MB up. Generation change in MODEM/Chipset? Not being 'carrier branded', a temporary lack of tower-side throttle? What has other...

Installed and evaluating. Typical of power tools, seems to have a bit of a learning curve.

I looked at it for personalization a while back on a LG phone - and for that, it may well be the ticket - albeit at a price. Back then, it was a bit flaky - which could have been LG. I didn't think (and play store highlights didn't show) any automation stuff - like 'if it's 9 PM on a Friday...

Recent (like3 days in) convert to Moto world with an 23 Edge+. Took advantage of a Best Buy Open Box deal that ended up at a price comparable to what S23FE has been going for, with much better specs. While most 'vanilla' things are comparable (if in slightly different places), so far I...
