    How does this compare with Samsung A32 4G?
    Looking at specs it seems only slightly better, but it is 2yrs newer?

    Would this be a significant upgrade?

        Its a USA sub, Motorola Mobility; they licence the Motorola logo.

        Its all funny money, because lenovo owns that sub, so china still gets the money after the US takes their tax; but regarding oversight and software and such its still 100% USA operated, registered and staffed.

      Should you feel a bit guilty of buying it from this poor old fella at such a cheap price?

      Brand new for $160.

      • HopeM on 10/09/2024 - 20:42

        That was the price he asked for it he wanted quick sale and he said it was on for $200 first then by the time I found it that was what he asked he said he couldn't return it so it was worth zero to him so that's what he agreed on.

      • Circly on 10/09/2024 - 20:53

          I get a very good bargain every now and again and feel guilty, feel like I ripped people off, even though the pricing was their decision etc.

          At these times I just give them a bit extra, make myself feel better.

        66% of new price for a secondhand phone is pretty reasonable.

      • MasterScythe on 11/09/2024 - 08:11

        No ethics issues in paying an asking price.

        Thats not even half price, so its not like it was 'given away' either, closer to 2/3rds, electronics usually drop pretty harshly 2nd hand.

        • HopeM on 11/09/2024 - 09:04

          @MasterScythe the rule is as soon as the item leaves the store its second hand and sold as such nobody paying retail if they can get it from the store for that price

          • MasterScythe on 11/09/2024 - 09:12

            @HopeM: Of course; 2nd hand is always cheaper than retail.

    • Bimbobob on 10/09/2024 - 21:48

      Telstra retail or wholesale network?

    • HopeM on 10/09/2024 - 21:58

      You're doing something wrong.

      You select (5g/4g) so the phone will automatically swap where the service is and if you're in the correct 5g location.

      if there's no 5G then it will connect to 4G same with any phone

      • Xizor on 13/09/2024 - 06:43

        He is probably experiencing sites with inadequate spectrum allocated to the 5G band(s). It happens for a period as reallocation occurs. Can last for months, but should not be noticeable for most unless doing speedtests/high bandwidth tasks.

        Numerous threads on reddit. Here's one example: Link

    • MasterScythe on 11/09/2024 - 08:20
      +2

      Both Meta tools; id start checking logs for a common flag (likely Doze).

      Try passing:
      dumpsys deviceidle disable
      Over ABD. That command lasts until next reboot, and disables doze entirely.

      If it helps, reach out to Meta support and open a bug report; because their messenger apps shouldnt enter deeper levels of doze (this is frequently an issue with Metas apps).

      • MadMapMan on 14/09/2024 - 06:21

        Thanks @MasterScythe - just got to test this. Seems to have fixed my 'dozing' imap email client.

        For those who really want to understand the guts of doze, try this

        Shame that this has to be done after every reboot :-(

          Mozilla's K-9 Mail handles doze correctly for me. Its a client worth trying.

          • MadMapMan on 14/09/2024 - 14:58

            @MasterScythe: Thanks. K9 has improved since I used it years ago, but Maildroid has served me well. Will persist and see if I need to change. Appreciate the help.

  • serenitynowman on 11/09/2024 - 08:45

    I picked one of these up a few months ago for $260. Really nice phone.

        its better if you get the right configuration but again only in certain situations. i.e. its more work than its worth when it comes to compariing the difference.

  • morediscount on 11/09/2024 - 09:18

    anyone know how would this compare to my S10e ?

    • smartProverble on 11/09/2024 - 10:59
      +1

      Personally have an S10.

      Not sure about S10e but the S10 is faultless still personally. Battery life isn't as good as a 5000mah battery but is good to last a day. Camera is obviously better than this Motorola, day and night. 6gb ram and 128gb storage is still fine, no lags or intrusive app closing. Still snappy etc. OneUI interface still is better than simple jack Pixel interface, and I love the inbuilt features like Dex and the Samsung Health app that tracks your sleeping and walking / pedometer automatically, and the bixby button as a flash button etc.

      Samsung flagships last.

      Only negative might be that the S10/s10e are not supported anymore, but 🤷 you and I were fine all these years so…

      The S10e is just a smaller version of the S10 right?

      How would it compare to this Motorola? If it's the same as the S10 I would say the Motorola would have much better battery life (probably 2+ days) but other than that, maybe slightly sluggish, bad camera, able to keep open more apps, larger… Personally not swapping for this.

    • MasterScythe on 11/09/2024 - 11:27

      Such a broad question, and full of personal preference.
      Id personally say very favorably, because you get to escape touchwiz/oneui, and go to stock android; but you might hate that.

      What areas is your s10e failing to satisfy? Then we can advise on if it will fix your experienced shortcomings or not :)

    • morediscount on 11/09/2024 - 11:34

      thanks … reason I'm looking to change is I keep getting Battery deterioration warning and yes my battery life has reduced.. also mic has started to give problems …and yes no more updates

      • MasterScythe on 11/09/2024 - 11:45

        Well then yes; any new phone will resolve all 3 of those issues.

        Motorola typically have less years of updates, so it's not as long-standing as you might be used to in Samsungs ecosystem, but its also a vanilla experience; so its more performant\less bloated OS out of the box (which I value).

        I'm a heavy user on the previous G82 (which shares the same SoC); 1TB memory card of H265 and FLAC media, emulation, SSH and Virtual Server Administration, RAW image processing, etc. and its able to smoothly handle these tasks.

        So if your concerns are Battery, Mic and Updates; yes, this will resolve this.

  • butterboy on 11/09/2024 - 10:52

    Great phone for the money.
    Battery life is incredible and I only charge in the car now, not at home.

    Only issues I have are that I need to manually unlock the phone before Android Auto will connect. Supposedly a fix is in the works.
    Some MacroDroid volume based automations seem to not always work (could be software but worked on previous phone).
    Can't get slow motion to work in GCam app (meh).

    • Minimalism on 11/09/2024 - 20:50

      What's the appeal of adroid auto? like what does it do that makes you go 'hell yeah'.

      • butterboy on 13/09/2024 - 09:05
        +1

        Nothing about it makes me go 'hell yeah'. But it puts the essentials at your fingertips while driving. Limited control of apps while driving and uses the cars interface screen/wheel/buttons. Voice control works well for app functions, and some car functions. In most instances is illegal and dangerous to use your phone while driving. Android Auto/Apple Carplay are legal and infinitely more safe.

        • Minimalism on 16/09/2024 - 19:43

          Ah. Thank you for explaining. My car turns 20 this year so that is why I couldn't understand the appeal.
