    Moto G Play, a good, reliable cellphone

    Being a first time cell phone owner, I was looking for a basic, reliable and easy to use cellphone. So far, the Moto G Play phone fits those requirements quite well. I have 2 small issues with this phone: !) That a hard copy instruction manual was not included with the phone. 2) Battery life seems a little short.

    Not worth your $100. Was expecting better. This phone does the basic stuff, but nothing too great. It’s very slow when loading apps and it freezes and shuts down when used with certain apps on android auto. The browser also reloads pages every time you open it. Also, the speaker started malfunctioning during calls. The fingerprint reader is also slow. Only the battery is decent. I would suggest spending more for a responsive phone.

      Hi Steve, we're sorry to hear that you are encountering concerns on your device where it freezes and auto reset itself. Let me help you with that! May I suggest checking if your device has the latest software update? To do this, go to your Settings > System > Advanced > System updates and make sure all your apps are updated. Meanwhile, you can also try resetting your app preferences. These will reset your notification settings and default apps, but your data will remain intact. Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all apps > Menu (three dots on the top right) > Reset app preferences. Please keep us updated on how this goes for you. For other concerns, please send us an email at supportforums@motorola.com. -Ythan MotorolaMobility

      Hi WilliamW, We're sorry to know that you're experiencing slowness on your phone. Slow is sometimes caused by too many running apps in the background, use your recent apps button to close apps you're not using. It is also a good practice to restart the device periodically (every 2-3 days) to clear out buffers and memory that may lead to intermittent issues. If the concern persists, kindly go to this link: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/landing_troubleshooter/g_id/5059>; Next > Display/Touchscreen > Phone is slow/unstable and try the recommended steps there. Let us know if this helps by sending us an email at supportforums@motorola.com. -Mitch MotorolaMobility
