Just A Piece Of Junk!

JVinCO . 2 months ago

My first Motorola phone screen cracked when I dropped it on the floor. Too bad as it was 3 years old and was working well. So I got this phone. And to say it is a piece of junk is bring very kind. It either changes screens when I barely touch the edge of the phone or it does nothing when I tap the screen. Battery life is all over the place, either it lasts forever to it drains in a matter of an hour or two. I have read over the instruction manual and nothing helps. I will look to pay this garbage off and either get a Samsung or Google phone. I do not want those, but Motorola gives me no choice. And I refuse to get an iPhone as they are overrated......

Wish I could give it a negative number. Worst ever.

John . 2 months ago

I am 26 year Verizon customer. Always had Motorola and Androis products. Was always happy before this phone. Got a good deal and it was 5G. Mechanically, this phone is a joke. Touch screen does not work half the time. Sometimes just kicks me out of an app. Loses 5G and doesn't connect to 4G. Many times have repeat action such as screen swipes seceral times. Had it replaced when I first got it. New phone worked just long enough to get out of the return period. Locked in now. Have to ride it out. Stay away.

I've been a Motorola fan since 2012 but this one is the worst one I've owned

Could be bettter . 3 months ago

Phone tends to lose signal indoors even though I've switched sim cards multiple times. The Bluetooth is crap sound quality is my thing and sometimes my music sounds terrible on Bluetooth compared to older devices I get it the sound quality is compressed on Bluetooth but this phone sometimes doesn't produce the bass the music has I first noticed it on a car audio sub and thought maybe it was my amp wiring then I noticed it on a basic factory stereo in a semi truck. The other issue with Bluetooth on this phone is sometimes you have to switch back to phone then back to Bluetooth because people think the call has dropped HUGE inconvenience driving a semi truck when I gotta mess with my phone. I bought a new headset thinking it was the issue turns out even brand new devices it's still crap. I'm considering switching brands of phone my next upgrade but I'm still on the fence Motorola used to be the best phone now I'm skeptical. I loved the moto edge with the curved screen but mine got water damage then I ended up with this one and it's been an issue since day one but I don't believe in insurance replacements because Verizon sends out used phones even under warranty now you get a "like new" device not happening with me if I'm paying new prices and it still works I'm keeping what I'm paying for refurbished phones are worse junk in my experience at least I know the issues with the one I have. Good thing it's almost paid off so I can find something better.

Dead battery after only 2yrs!!!

WolfWoman24 . 3 months ago

I've only had the phone for 23 months and the battery needs to be replaced. That's unacceptable for an $849 phone that I still have $289 left to pay on before I can get a new one. I've tried different cables tried the original block and cable, nothing will charge it. I have been using Motorola for 20 years and I'm now thinking of switching as my last Motolora Z3 Force did the exact same thing. So disappointment for a company that I've been with for so many years.

No more Motorola for me. Battery life is horrendous!

chachomp . 3 months ago

I've had my phone for about a year and the battery life is steadily gotten so bad that within 4 hours of regular talking use and an occasional look at Facebook or the news, the battery is down to 10% from a full charge. I use battery saver mode, and keep location turned off. Still no bueno.
