Well, this turned interesting. I gave the phone another restart...and now things are working as expected. Strange, but I'll take it.

Here in the last week, my Moto Z Force received the Oreo update and...it hasn't been pleasant to be honest. I'm digging through threads and googling to figure out how things work now - but there's one that I haven't been able to get any hits on - the Recents softkey on my phone has become...

I have Android Auto in my new 2018 Hyundai Elantra and overall, I love it. However, I'm having two annoying issues and I'm curious if anyone else is or if there are fixes. I looked through this forum and some others, but I haven't had any luck. First - text messages. The behavior here is...

This has happened to my phone twice so far. The occurrences were months apart, but the last time was about a week ago. The symptoms are this - my phone will send out texts and make outgoing calls. It's clearly connected to the network. However, it won't receive texts or calls from anyone. I...

I'm using the stock messages app. So far, I haven't had any more issues since the reboot. I can at least receive SMS from my wife. Of course, I can't really know if I'm missing other messages if I'm not expecting them. My wife and daughter both have the Z Force as well, but mine was the...

Since my Moto Z Force got its Nougat upgrade recently, it's killed the IFTTT (If This, Then That automation app/service) on my phone. The app just crashes whenever it tries to run. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but the behavior is the same. Are any other IFTTT users having issues...

I've been having a weird problem with my Z Force lately and it's gotten worse with the Nougat update. I have the moto assist feature to announce calls and texts when I've got my bluetooth headset on or the phone is connected to the bluetooth in my car. Going back to the older Moto X's, this...

I had this happen to me over the weekend. Received texts up through Saturday night, and then none. I didn't figure it out until I was the one phone in our household not receiving update texts from my daughter's school that we had subscribed to. I ended up shutting down and restarting the...

That's good to see. I can tell from your pictures that port cut out is much bigger.

It's funny - I just found this forum. I had been using the quick link on the home page to go to the Moto Z forum, which has a Moto Z Droid edition sub-forum. I never knew there was a Force edition specific forum. So, I had to learn the hard way about the bumper case flaw. It took me a while...

Just finished installing this update on my phone as well. It still appears to be working, so that's good.

I also use my MXPE 25w charger with my Moto Z Force at the office with a Tronsmart adapter at the end of the cable. I get a charge rage between 1300 and 1500 mAh. However, that was after I cut a notch out of my Verizon bumper case so the cable could fully connect. Before that, if I could get...

Alas, that deal is dead now. The new deal is $100 off plus the JBL speaker. We saw this last night and my wife went to go get hers today (I already have the JBL speaker from the pre-order deal). She's not too happy with me right now....

I preordered through Best Buy on Tuesday. Received text Wednesday saying I could pick it up between the 28th and August 5th. Picked it up yesterday at lunch. Enjoying it so far and the JBL speaker mod makes for a nice little boom box and speaker phone.

I had been waiting to see what pricing was going to be on the Moto Z. I got the MXPE last year when it came out and had enjoyed it. However, it took a fall about three months ago and was going to be $200 to repair. I've been limping along with my original Moto X with it's own cracked, but...
