Don't know if I should return phone to store

Definitely eBay. Maybe even Verizon.

Nope and nope. Verizon stopped selling the Turbo and the ones on eBay are refurbs with original batteries.

Not true. There are some new ones on eBay if you look closely.

My phone signal is pretty much like op's when its on lte. Is my unit defective also?

 

[mobrules]

There's an app called SignalCheck Lite. Install it and check.

Keep in mind the lower the number the better the signal. So a -80 is a better signal than a signal of -100.

Mine was really bad. Even though it said 4g was connected my signal averaged -120 to -125, barely one bar. I complained enough and got a deal on a 4g network extender. My signal is now about -70, with 5 full bars.

 

[tg2708]

Yea tried its like -90 for tmobile. Also the phone keep cutting off music streaming apps like, tidal and spotify. Quite annoying when trying to listen to music as it just stops.

So, is this good or bad?

 

[mobrules]

That's a hard question to answer. Everyone's signal strength can be different. I'll attach a screen shot from mine. I was using a G4 phone, but either way it's the same on Z Play and Force.

But keep in mind it's only because I'm connected to a 4G extender. Without that I would guess my battery life would decrease by 40-50%.Trying to maintain the 4G connection is very taxing on any device.

I just checked the signal for my play and I'm around -90 DB and I have 4 to 5 bars all the time. Im on Verizon and never have problems.

Also no Mirrorcast.

Does the Moto Z Play or Moto Z Play Droid manual mention it?

 

[TJH132]

Here we go again!

 

[huungryshark]

Yes it's in the manual , too . But lacking the feature . It's even there in settings , but without any function.

 

[huungryshark]

down there at bottom. But useless, it will never find any miracast or wireless display devices. Because Moto disabled it.

Understandable. They don't want you to cheap and easy share your stuff on TV bam via WiFi ...They want sell projector mod


That's why they disabled it all. I long thought about it why they removed those protocols, can't find any other reason.

 

[huungryshark]

someone can try sue them because it's advertised as working , even in the device manual

Maybe in the USA with a good lawyer ,lol
