Plastic ones were shit, but glass you don't really notice it's there.
A flip case is the most effective though.

Got one from Ebay for £135. Looks ok, but the instructions are all in foreign.
Gonna get a case before I start using it.

Updated my G6+ with Motorola security update on Thursday night, and suddenly my battery is being caned at a rate of knots with basic use.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

Talking to my phone isn't something I think I'll ever get used to. I've ordered an Amazon Alexa thing for my ladies house, cos she's a "prime member" and all that jazz, but I can't picture either of us ever being all like "Alexa, what's the weather like in Watford tomorrow?" or "Alexa, play some pop classics".
Maybe we'll get used to it, but I'm not picturing it. Anyway, we'll see.
I tried using voice for my phone, but I'm just so used to doing things the way I currently do that it never caught on. Doing it in public was obviously a non-starter, and when I'm at home it's not that inconvenient to just open my apps the old fashioned way.
Hmmm...

Hi Jon-of-arc in my defence this is my first smartphone in a while so I am not yet so hot at typing with thumbs. I just rattled off a couple of texts in no time and it read my voice perfectly which I think is the thing that impressed me most.
Recently I had to communicate with a Chinese man who spoke no English and I typed into G translate and then let it say my words in trad Chinese. It would have been much quicker had I managed to speak my English words into it - but at the time I hadn't tried it.

Anyone in the know?
I am having trouble getting photos off my phone and onto my PC.
I have tried emailing them, they send ok but they are in a much lower resolution than the phone camera that took them so are useless.
..
Scratch that, sorted it, had to select USB PTP on the phone and then I could do it.

Any idea on what happened? I've just bought a G6 and so I probably have that security update and my battery is terrible - a full charge lasts less than half a day! Thinking of taking it back if it's a permanent thing
Fuck knows. I'm not really techy like this, but there's probably a few million of us, so we can't all be alone. My battery was pretty damned superb until 3 days ago. I don't really know what to Google or how to feed it back to the powers that be.

What has transformed my (G7 power) battery life, which wasn't bad in the first place, is switching things off which I am not using.
So for example I don't need Bluetooth on all the time, any of the time in my case, I think that saves some energy. There is a power saving mode which I have enabled. HotSpot and Tethering is also set to off. basically I have been switching things I don't need off and that seems to have boosted life.

hmm at battery thing
sounds like either some app is running when it's not supposed to be, or is constantly searching for an update, or something like that.
having GPS on takes up battery. I only switch it on very rarely when it's essential.
may be worth switching the bugger off and on again
or disabling non critical apps and see if it gets better. isn't there something in settings to see what app is soaking up the most battery?

I've finally got round to switching phones, but the new phone only takes Nano SIM cards and my card is a Micro.

Comparison with differences highlighted here:
The Power is only 5mm thicker, is 0.1 inch bigger screen and has an aluminium frame as opposed to plastic plus is shipped with Android 10 as opposed to 9 on the Plus but has a a 16mpixel camera as opposed to a 48mpixel.
These are the main differences - more listed on the link

bloody furious
I don't get the massive difference on megapixels on these two phones - does that mean one has a much better phone that the other?
Fwiw Which scores the camera the same on both versions..
Though in the same range Which gives the OppoRX17 Pro and XiaomiMi 8 higer scores all round for about the same price..
Wondering if it might be time to move on from Motorola..
