A few months ago, I got an opportunity to try a handful of Motorola smartphone. They look good and even stand out, although the brand appears to be pulling lazy-samsang-dizine accessories with some of its release. But then, Samsung is worsening, so that bitwatch is consolation.
It can be argued here that Motorola is putting some great phone on the shelf with a premium feel and competitive inn at attractive prices. But it is undisputed that Motorola is not in the best position, at least from the point of view of users who have recently made a cash plan to get the Moto smartphone.
Thus, the Motorola has an account of the loss directly caused by the Lylists, which displays the ongoing struggles of the brand. But even more important thing is that these can carry forward stones for redemption as Motorola chiefs in the 2025 calendar year.
Blotware: Brezen or Sneaky?
Last year, Digital Trends' Mobile Section Editor Joe Maring highlighted its effort with Motorola phone throughout the year and needs to fix the brand as 2025.
One of the core swallows in the article was the amount of blotware. Android's bond with unnecessary and completely shady software is not a new story. Some brands have also fixed the situation, after extensive criticism.
Unfortunately, Motorola has taken the opposite route and fairly irony fashion. The first aspect that comes to mind when buying a Motorola phone is-Stock, Pixel-like Android UX. Well, it only appears to be the story of the surface.
Below, there is something strange. Reddit, X, and product forums have a complete bunch of swimming reports around, where users reported automated installation of blotware. Motoapps pop up as a criminal to be repeated in the user rent.
A recurring theme is a software update, which clearly downloads unnecessary advertising-ordered apps without user consent or even declares it first-hand. The entire installation pipeline is executed in the background.
Some solutions are creating rounds of the user community, such as inactivating motoaps, disabled moto services, and buying unlocked phones instead of a carrier store. Nor is there an ideal situation.
Why the burden of users in the first place?
Why would the “Adaptation Update” need to be installed without a poorly designed puzzle games without consent? It is like your calculator app that secretly gives it a privilege, even if it does not require any system access to operate it in the first place.
Unfortunately, this is not the end of it. Crisis expanded in all ways to lock screen experience, where a bad advertising-unjust app called Tabola, which is bothering users to “interests” so that it can show them ads on the lock screen.
For an average person, it is impossible to get rid of it because they need to run the ADB command. It seems that the phone reads it as a system app, which means that even if you disable the activity, it automatically enables its functionality.
“Efforts to de-blot the device further resulted in soft-baking. I will try to install Custom Rome to completely separate the Motorola software ecosystem,” wrote A mifed user in a thread with similar stories.
Absolutely, Motorola phone Users Are No Happy About it. Detailed ADB tutorials are also swimming to help users who are not fans of infiltration lock screen adware activity. This is not an easy route; Some have also traveled a way at the cost of bricking their phone.
A long mark of connectivity crisis
We buy the phone to call, well, phone things, such as calls and texting. This will fruitless all cellular innovations (and bloated bills) if the phone cannot go to its intended network lane.
Nevertheless, it is fine that Motorola smartphone users are reporting for some time. We received at least four years back dating similar complaints. Curiously, crisis has not received any media attention, but a quick look at social media and user forums detects a ton of 5G connectivity-related complaints.
Digital trends spoke to at least three Motorola smartphone users, who have faced issues with 5G connectivity on their phone and confirmed that it remains unsolved despite receiving many major and minor software updates.
We tried to discuss the issue with customer aid workers at Motorola service outlets authorized in the national capital of India. However, he refused to comment on technical shortcomings that could be in playing here.
In addition, it seems that the 5G connectivity crisis is not limited to a particular area. Motorola smartphone users have reported cellular issues in many countries including North America.
Such a complaint states, “I have now got about 50 fusion about a week and I have seen that it loses its carrier signal completely in random moments. If I wait for about 10-30 seconds it comes back on its own.”
27% left I need to plug into my 5G @Moto It does not get only 5g only 4 g+
I do not recommend anyone to buy a motorola in the UK … This is a serious issue with the phone … Network is not a matter not pic.twitter.com/y48oybo6jj– Anthony's Stormy World@(@anthonystorms 7) 26 April, 2024
So far, we have not encountered any concrete solutions, nor have Motorola officially accepted it, providing a fix alone. Some users guess that the problem raised his head after a special software update, which did something strange with the network configuration setup. Nevertheless, other people claim that it is a hardware defect.
We are uncertain whether Motorola cut any cost and went with inferior quality antenna hardware or if it was just another case of poor network reception that has given the same slander for Google Pixel phones.
Motorola employees R/Motorola have been very active in the posts that discuss connectivity crises in the subredit and suggest network reset as one of the solutions. Unfortunately, this suggestion does not appear to be a magic medicine.
Network keeps connecting and disconnecting on my Motorola Edge 30 while on 5G. There was never a problem on the device before. Don't know what is the reason…. It quickly removes the battery … anyone is facing the same issue? @Motorlandia @Moto_support @Moto @Techwiser pic.twitter.com/avwpikyin4

Rebooting the phone, resetting the network profile, or switching back and forth between airplane mode is not given any relief to the affected users. Some people have got luck with NR network mode, but also, the network coverage and technology related to carrier.
Quantum computing is not required to understand the gravity of this fundamental problem. Users have resorted to switching their network preference to 3G mode to get a reliable network, but it only provides temporary relief.
“Dude, I am disappointed with this 4G/5G signal bar amazement mark. wrote One such motorola phone user.
However, it appears that the carriers Motorola are aware of the connectivity troubles on the phone. “I was told by Verizon that this phone is known to be a bad antenna,” claims a motorola phone user in a thread describing similar issues on the US and Canadian network.
G, Motorola, Moto G fix!
The Moto G series was quite literally the champion of Android. When the first Moto G phone was launched in 2013, it was a smash hit. Of course, a price tag within $ 200 margin was an important factor, but the phone was a total package.
A beautifully understood design, a sharp HD display, a Qualcomm processor, and Vanilla Android 2013 had recipes for success. When Motorola brought it to India, it quickly became a hot favorite, similar to the situation in other emerging markets.
,Motorola makes a strong comeback to India in its unique way.,How Motorola became a smash hit in India,Motorola needs India to rolish its speed.“These were some headlines that appeared in the respected business and tech journalism outlet at that time.
Ever since, Motorola has dramatically diversified in its portfolio by killing the flagship X line in favor of the Edge series and reviving RAZR as a foldable phone line. But in that mantra, the Moto G series lost its attraction, and in quite dramatic fashion.
“Motorola is ruining cheap Android phones.” This is a digital trend title about the sorry state of Motorola's budget G-series phone. Moto G Power 5G 2024 launched the Abysmal 5/10 review score, while the Moto G 5G 2024 can be only 4/10 in its assessment.
For example, Motorola G85, which is definitely the most spectacularly designed phone that you can only get for $ 250. You need to hold it in your hands to realize how gorgeous the hardware is, especially for that price bracket.
It offers a curved screen with Gorilla Glass 5, a magnificent rear texture design, a 120Hz screen, a high-end Sony sensor and a large battery with fast charging skills. Motorola has also set its terrible software update policy at the end of 2024.
Not ahead of home, Motorola
Motorola must live with this formula and recur on it. In doing so, the brand may also use some trimming and prounting in low -priced segment, where its phones are not only competitive against fellow Chinese rivals.
Of course, the Chinese brands are voluntarily not going to eliminate any ground. However, Motorola still commands the honor in the market and some of its moto G-series phones are enough to make a solid niche for themselves.
But before this happens, Motorola will also have to struggle with green line complaints, camera crisis, performance discrepancies and of course, increasing tide of cellular connectivity issues.
Motorola definitely has adequate experience, engineering skills and Lenovo money to pull everyone. The intention is definitelyAll this needs to be done, listen to the users' response and chart your course for the forward year accordingly.
