(Part 2) Top products from r/MotoX4

IQ Shield HD Clear. It's a liquid application screen protector, meaning you spray it down with a solution before applying, and let it dry. It's like those Zagg protectors people used to put on their iPods back in the day. I actually like it a lot more than I thought I would. The cutouts are perfect, and the application took just a few minutes. It's super clear, and doesn't feel rubbery or anything. They also make full body protectors.

That's pretty good. Really.

Is this with the stock camera app?

When I bought my X4 I had reservations about the camera after reading too many posts in here. Once I got the X4 I installed the GCAM and about 8-10 more cameras (I channeled the nerd in me). I did some tests and.... the stock camera is good enough for casual social media posts, more then good enough.

Now, for professional photography? Not really.

But here the thing (comparison), of someone really wanted something more "professional"

Price of Pixel 3 5.5" 64GB: $799

Price of X4 ($149) + price of "Canon EOS Rebel T6 DSLR Camera Bundle with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens + 2pc SanDisk 32GB Memory Cards + Accessory Kit" ($439) = $588

I bet the Canon takes better pics/video than the Pixel

Add a WiFi sd card for $38.99.

Are you using a Quickcharge charger? If yes, check the connections. Sometimes lint or debris can get in there and you won't get Turbo Charge. Also if possible try a different charger. If the charger or cord is starting to get old they might not work for turbo charging. My original charger had the cord split. Now I use these chargers from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019GQ6S2C
They work great for turbo charging and I can replace the cord if it frays or I need something with a different length.

I went with Anker branded cables (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6F3WHG) with an Aukey 18w charger with Qualcomm Quickcharge 3 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018RR30TK) and it works perfectly.

​

Just stick with the name brands for cables, and for chargers look for Qualcomm Quickcharge 3 with 18w and you should be good to go.

I have had good luck so far with the AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB-A Male 3.1 Gen2 Cable - 3 Feet (0.9 Meters). At the same time I updated to the April 1st 2019 security update. Since both of those Auto has been rock solid. Before that I'd get several disconnects to the point of getting a similar USB device error, even on short drives.

I still have to unlock the phone to get Auto started, unlike all the other phones in my household that connect automatically even when locked.

My HU is a Sony XAV-AX100.

I've been happy with this:

Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Bundle: 10000mAh QC Aluminum Exterior Power Bank https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XT6Q887/

I've been using my Anker 10 ft micro USB cables and they work just fine. I had to get a couple of these adapters for them. Havn't had any problems and seem to work well for fast charging.

Ya I have one and like it. Here's the amazon link but sadly they're oos now sry. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T5KG8G5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Edit: here's one I found with google, idk if it or the store is good tho

This cable fixed all the problems I was having been working great about 6 months now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GN0M6NE?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

Get a USB voltage/current meter and you'll know for sure. Here's a decent meter:

Sometimes the voltage is increased to get more energy into the phone without using as much current (heats wires and contacts).

Sometimes a bad cable can limit the amount of current that gets through to the phone.

These both work well for me. IIRC they generally show a little over 4V while charging.

Bought this case and some of these plugs. I don't have any complaints for either item.

The one I got is out of stock but there are other.s suggested in the page. Approx $5-6.

Unifix Back Rear Camera Glass Lens Replacement with Adhesive for Motorola Moto X4 XT1900 (ALL CARRIERS) + Repair Tools https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0145MD62C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_PmtJBbSTVJCKP

I started a thread in the Lenovo forums a few months ago and we were asked to provide bug reports and phone and car unit information, but as today no solution has been provided from Motorola.

Some users suggested using different cables. I tried most of the suggested cables but the problem didn't want to go away. Then someone suggested this Amazon cable (AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB-A Male 3.1 Gen2 Adapter Charger Cable - 3 Feet (0.9 Meters) - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGKYS6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Ew0iDbC14VGG5) and I was not going to try it since the other cable suggestions didn't work. But I went ahead and ordered it anyway and just like other people have reported, I haven't had a disconnection since.

I'll remember this if I ever experience another disconnect. However, I just bought an Anker cable and have had no disconnect issues at all. Driving a 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage.

I'm using These which are quite similar (might even be the same cable sold under another brand or something) Turbo works and everything. The dangerous thing would be if your external power pack couldn't put out 3A *2.4A.

I can get 3 full charges off this. If I have no apps open I can get 2000 mAh steady
