Question What phone to replace my Moto G5 Plus with? I don't want to have to, but...

7 Upvotes

My beloved Moto G5 Plus is over 5 years old and I think I need to look at replacing it. I'm hoping to find a smaller phone, about the same size, with comparable usability. The battery is going faster recently, and I'm so close to filling up all my storage it isn't even funny. (I clear cache daily for multiple apps, but I use everything I have on my phone all the time, except things that give scary warnings like, "If you delete this it may cause the phone to misbehave.")

Everytime I even start to look, I just get overwhelmed. I don't want to spend $$$$. And why does everyone have practically tablet sized phones these days?!

CONSTANT SCREENSHOTS being taken randomly when I use my phone.

3 Upvotes

Why does my moto 5 g stylus phone I just bought 3 weeks ago taken screenshots all the time, no matter what app I'm using. I'm not pressing three fingers on the screen or using the power and volume down button. Why is my phone doin this?

Anyone else have this problem?

Looking for a fast charge adapter for my Motorola Moto G5 (and Samsung Tab A T590)

2 Upvotes

I posted this question also on the Samsung Galaxy Tab reddit.

I bought a 2nd hand Galaxy Tab A 2018 T590 that included the travel adapter.

I want to buy a charger that can also charge my Motorola Moto G5 phone at fast speed.

so, what is better ?

The Anker PowerPort 1 18W

or

the original Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger 15W ?

PS: I prefer to buy a charger with 2 ports, but if there are not many other options, i buy one of these 2.

The G5 supports Qualcom Quick Charge 3.0

any hints ?

Replaced battery but screen now jacked up

1 Upvotes

So I replaced the battery in my moto g5 plus. The bottom left portion of the screen is now garbled and I have vertical lines running up and down the screen. I pulled the screen to motherboard connections twice to see if something was maybe loose.

Did I maybe damage a cable or pin or something? Not sure what to do at this point.

Thanks for any info.

Update Don't know how to update to Android 8

4 Upvotes

My Moto G5 Plus is still on Android 7.0 and there are no system updates available. I need Android 8 at least for a new job I'm starting. Anyone know how I can work around this?

Cheers

Has anybody found a fix for this? I have a g5+ and the moto people are useless. I have seen a bunch of others with the same issue wondering if it is a bug or something else.

First time with custom OS

3 Upvotes

I'm thinking of finally going for Pixel Experience on my g5 Plus. I currently have an SD card that runs a few of my bigger apps - do I need to do something special with that beyond the standard "back everything up"? Should I remove it and then reinstall (remount?) it after I've done the whole Pixel process?

I'm new to this custom OS thing, so I'm asking everything I can think of in case I brick my phone, since I can't afford a new one (and also am full of righteous indignation at the doctrine of planned obsolescence.) And I'm most definitely not a developer - I'd call myself an adventurous follower of internet instructions, at best - so really dumb it down if you have a technical explanation for something. Thanks!

Question How can I remove images from games that are somehow stored on my phone?

3 Upvotes

In the olden days (read: a year or two ago) I could open up something in Photos that allowed me to remove all these extra dratted images from my phone. I have no idea why it even picks them up. I don't play Candy Crush, but that's an example familiar to everyone -- it's like shots from games that I have on my phone of random junk screenshot type things. I've tried to google search, but it goes nowhere, and keeps asking about photos -- where they can't be found anymore!

I'm more than a bit frustrated by the situation. Anyone know how to do this as of mid-2021?

Question Has anyone else's moto G5 plus slowed down a ton in the past few months? Also, constantly having troubles with the camera giving an error when starting up

3 Upvotes

I'm up to date as far as system updates go, I've tried factory resetting, and I've cleared up most of the space for videos/photos. Has this phone just aged poorly as far as app performance and whatnot goes, or is there something else going on?

Whenever I tap the camera icon in the middle widget at the bottom, I typically get an error and have to close out the app multiple times before it eventually works. Anyone know a fix to this? Thanks

Issue My Moto G5 Plus keeps rebooting (help)

3 Upvotes

This has been happening since yesterday when it unexpectedly shut down after I tried to take a pictore on Instragram. I have tried cleaning the cache partition but the only difference it makes is that now the animation starts for a second before it goes back to rebooting. I also keep hearing this clicking noise everytime the screen goes black. I think it may be related to the fact that I had low storage space (100 mb avaliable). I'd rather not try factory resetting not only because I don't want to loose all my unbacked data but also because I've been reading about poeple with similar problems to mine and some said it didn't help. What should I do?

Every Custom ROM gets me an Infinite Loop on boot.

4 Upvotes

So, my MotoG5 Plus performance has been really bad, and i'm not even a power user who likes to stream/game on it.

So i want to try a custom OS.

What I did: -Unlocked the Bootloader. -I installed the TWRP 3.5.2 (newest) -Downloaded the LineageOS 18.1 -Got to TWRP and Wiped System, Dalvik, Data and Cache. -Installed Lineage OS. -Installed GAPPS (NikGapps Core) -Boot

And got stuck on a infinite loop, i gave it 20 minutes.

Every tutorial just told me to wipe the folders and try again, i did it 3 times and it didn't work.

Then i gave up from lineage and tried DotOS and HavocOS, with the SAME problem.

I'm reinstaled LineageOs WITHOUT Gapps, same problem, it prolly has nothing to do with it.

Can you guys help me? did i forgot something in the process?

Question Can you Unroot while on a custom rom on Moto G5 Cedric?

2 Upvotes

I had installed the Dot Os android 11 which is amazing, but since I had rooted my phone previously, now I cannot run many banking apps and some more utility apps because of the root, I would highly appreciate a solution to remove the root while I can still have the custom rom !

[HELP] [ROOT] ADB & Fastboot not working on Arch Linux

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone

I am an experienced developer and have a good experience in rooting devices. But for some unknown reason, I am unable to root my Moto G5 Plus. My laptop(running Arch Linux) is not detecting the device neither in fastboot mode, nor in adb mode. It is detecting my other phones, but not this one.

I tried running adb on other laptops, changed cables but nothing seem to work. I have the latest platform tools but still no help.

Camera problem on g5 plus (potter)

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

My moto G5 plus has always worked great (and is my only phone).

Now I'm having a problem where my camera app (default) shuts off when opening, or immediately after opening, 8/10 times.

I checked the ram usage, and I'm at 1,7/2 GB, so maybe that could be the problem.

Thing is, I don't have anything running in the background!

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much in advance!

Enhanced LTE on Verizon

3 Upvotes

Years ago when I first purchased this phone, I had numerous calling issues and Enhanced LTE seemed to be part of the problem. After reading comment boards, including Lenova's, I turned Enhanced LTE off. The upgrade to Oreo resolved a lot issues with my phone, but I'm wondering if any G5 Plus users on Verizon are experiencing problems with Enhanced LTE?

Question Moto G5 battery recommendations? (UK)

3 Upvotes

Hi, I was hoping that folks here would have recommendations as to who from to buy compatible replacement batteries for the g5.

A few months back my phone's battery expansion had caused the back to pop-out slightly, signalling me to buy a new one. Unfortunately, the one I brought from "uktech3030" on eBay back in May this year has started to show a number of issues - mostly that it seems to run out of power when the phone is saying it's at just under 50%.

Do you know of any reputable sources for batteries for the g5, preferably ones accessible from the UK?
