    So far so good

    I bought an int'l version a couple of weeks ago. The battery is insane. I use to have to recharge my G4 Plus at least once during the day, but I have yet to get my G7 Power's battery down to below 80% after a full day of use. I'm not a big fan of the 720 x 1570 resolution, but that's a minor...

    Best Widget that show time, weather and battery power

    The battery level was removed from the widget. The developer says that it is due to latest Android restrictions, though others (e.g. Chronus) still have it.

    Any weather app suggestions?

    For weather widget, I like Chronus: Lots of widget types, including Pixel 2, and several weather services. The downside is that it doesn't have its own weather details screen, but I just use the date hotspot to bring up the native app of the service I use (Dark Sky or Weather Underground for...

    Weather Apps?

    It's with Weather Underground on Transparent Clock and Weather only. It doesn't occur with other widgets I've tested that use WU (HD Widgets, Weather Timeline, Chronus), and it doesn't occur on TCW with any of its other weather services. The developer says it's something from WU, but that...

    Weather Apps?

    Another one is Transparent Clock and Weather: lots of features, frequent updates. They have a slight bug with Weather Underground where in mid-afternoon the forecasted low temperature reverts to the previous night's low. Otherwise it's worth trying.

    Weather Apps?

    For widgets, nothing beats Chronus. It has a variety of widget options, ability to update manually, adjust transparency, update only on WiFi, and excellent support. It also has many options for weather services. What it lacks is its own detailed weather app, but I use its Dark Sky or Weather...

    Email app...

    I've used Aqua Mail for years. It has almost every feature that any other has (push, rich text, etc.), plus one feature that I have yet to see with any competitor: the ability to have sync and push only on WiFi, a great feature for limited plans. Even with this feature turned on, one can...

    G⁴ Plus XT1644 Repair Report

    Coincidentally, I had the same issue with the USB port a couple of months ago and returned the device. I was told to take off and keep the battery cover. I received a replacement in good working order, with a battery cover, so now I have an extra cover. My only issue is that the process took...

    Weather Widget Alternative

    Not sure. I guess the widget doesn't work on Nougat. Sorry.

    Unread notifications on the app-icons/badges?

    Samsung's Touchwiz launcher included unread counts. I've had the paid version of Nova for years. I'm not sure that the free version includes unread counts. There are some free launchers that have unread count capability, e.g. Solo Launcher, with its additional free Solo Notifier plug-in app...

    Android Updates ?

    It's not affected by the SIM card. The network you're on for this unlocked phone shouldn't affect when it gets updated. That will be up to Motorola. There's no need to not use it in the meantime.

    Android Updates ?

    For unlocked phones that are purchased that way and not tied to a carrier, yes.
