I'm running a Motorola G Power for the headphone jack. Do you have more info on their predatory update policy? Genuinely curious to know what's in store for me in the future. I'm not crazy about this phone but it does have a headphone jack and an SD card slot which is why I settled for it.
Here is a thread: https://piefed.zip/c/android/p/724108/motorola-ignores-eu-regulation-on-security-updates-for-smartphones-will-this-end-well#post_replies
It's a shame, I like Motorola's software, the phones are decent, but this is just... bad.
Ugh that sucks. Thanks for sharing though.
Would be nice if graphene os supported this device but I don't hold out much hope. Maybe the EU will make things difficult for Motorola but again I don't have much hope.
Fuck Motorola. I had to pay $30 to get a warranty replacement for this phone when the USB port stopped working about 2 months into owning it.
Also the fact that there's no way to disable 5g which means constant cell signal dropouts while the phone switches back and forth between 3 bars of 4g and 1 bar of 5g. I'm seriously considering buying a 4g only phone from a few years ago just because 5g has only made my experience worse.
