Moto One Action vs. Moto G Power - Moto G Power Questions & Answers

Anyone here upgrade from the Moto One Action to the Power?
I use the One Action as a backup, little hiccups like the slow(er) charging and the less-than-ideal screen sensitivity are making me lean towards replacing it with one of the new offerings.
I'd be interested to know if anyone else went from the One Action to the Power and what differences/improvements/downgrades you have noticed.

Mine (one Power) screen is 100% even glass plate installed
One Power can take 15 Watts charging

The screen protector option is really a hanging point for me, good to know the Power doesn't carry over the same issue.
Did you have the Moto One Action?

Cracked unresponsive black screen

I've been studying converting my razr to a razr maxx and had the opportunity to purchase a maxx for a reasonable price with a clean esn.
Here's the catch, it has a cracked unresponsive black screen. It powers up when rebooted, makes the startup sound and vibrates. The screen is deader than dead. No hepatic?? feedback, no lower key lights, etc. Does have the flashing green light upper left.
Instead of waiting for the battery to die is there a way to to it off with the side keys? I'd like to take it apart soon but would rather have it completely turned off before I do that.
Googled this question and searched the forum. I probably do not know what to use as a querry.
Be gentle I'm a noob.

Hi! The right thing to do is to leave it at motorola service center for a fix or replacement. Sorry

Hold volume down + power for few seconds
There's a remote chance the screen still accepts input, but not being able to see what's happening, who knows.... do you have an HDMI cable? Plug it into a TV and see if touch input still works, then shut it down if it does.

Thanks but its too late. My big fingers kept turn both phones on and off while separating the case so it did not matter.
I just finished the conversion. Its a pretty simple procedure. Once I figure out how to take it apart the rest was simple.
I used a hobby heat gun to warm the phone and a guitar pick to separate the case.
I have a few pictures of the maxx apart but I can't post pics yet.

I have the XT912 MAXX with the same blank screen and blinking green LED. Please describe how did you revive your phone?
I don't get this, i know you can exchange parts between XT910 and XT912 but isn't the MAXX a totaly different model?

[Q] Top Power Button

From the reviews, it seems the power button is tough to hit, without completely changing your grip on the phone. I actually hated trying to hit the power button on the HTC one x. I assume this will be even tougher with the longer length. Are there any apps, to allow the volume rocker to power on the phone?

There is no doubt devs will implement a volume rocker wake toggle into roms in the near future.. but frankly I'm okay with the power btn, I have a Rezound with a button that's completely flush to the device xD It's annoying but the DNA looks like it has a little bit of "space" for u to hit it, aka it's not flush.
ah well.

I have a Nexus now and use the Liquid rom which definitely has this feature to wake up using volume buttons. Also there are apps like Smart screen On which make use of proximity sensor to wake up device.

Yes, the smart screen on app is fantastic, pull the phone out of your pocket or swipe your hand over the sensor and it wakes (to the unlock screen), put it back in your pocket (or leave the screen/flip the device to cover the prox sensor) and screen goes off!

Flashing White Screen

I was woken last night by a flashing light in my room, the screen on my N10 was cycling between white, black, and backlight off.
The power button would not wake the device, the only thing I could do is hold the power button down until it turned off.
On powering back up, everything was fine and it didn't do it again.
I don't have any apps installed that would cause this, no screen flash notifiers or anything like that, what the hell happened?
I had that happen once, about three weeks ago. Also don't know why, but it hasn't happened again since.

Maybe OP has an Ouija Board app installed on his N10!?!?
Happened to me too
The screen was flashing a monochrome pattern that looked like a TV test pattern. I had to reboot by holding down the power button. It hasn't happened yet. It also went completely black another time and wouldn't respond, I had to reset it that time as well. I was afraid that it was because I bought a reburbished Nexus 10. I'll repost if it happens again.

You bought a refurbished N10? Interesting. I'm curious - how well does it perform? Any issues, other than the aforementioned? I can only afford a refurbished model at the moment, I'm looking at the one currently on eBay buy-it-now 32GB for $430; are the speakers okay? How is the battery life? Solid?
Sorry for derailing the topic, you're just one of the first that I've seen who have bought a refurbished model.
That's probably the memory leak in the graphics driver that some people mentioned (and the crash resulting from it). I had this happening 2 or 3 times on my N10, but only after long uptimes (2-3 weeks). Until it gets hopefully fixed .. reboot more often.
It works well. The speakers sound great, the battery life is pretty good (I use it a lot). It does charge a bit slow, but I may buy the pogo charger.

Does power button wear out?

The button seems very fragile on this device. On my other phones I am in the habit to click the power button to turn off the screen. But has anybody had their button "wear out" and need to be replaced?
Maybe I would be better off to double tap the screen to turn off the screen?
I've had mine for almost 2 years now and always turn the screen on/off via power button ... zero issues here, it still works as it did on day 1
Yeah me neither is working fine for almost 2years
Thanks guys, I was afraid it might be fragile since it jiggles. I just read a forum with people that bought refurb lg g5 and sent it back for rma to the ebay seller because the power button "jiggled around" and they thought the phone must be fooked up and sent it back for a refund
Yes it does. Dirt collects behind it and the button feature fails. Sensor still works.
You will need to buy a phone repair kit, and a button to replace it. All you need is a blowdryer to reheat the plate that keeps it in place, and remove it. Consider buying a new plate for it as you could damage it taking it off.

I know it's been a long time, but mine did as well.
I found that it's just extremely touchy. You have to remove the back case to get good access to the entire button underneath and just press the button in various places/positions.
It may take awhile to find the position that'll trigger it.
You can find a replacement button at https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2510209.m570.l1313&_nkw=htc+amaze+power&_sacat=0
And to take the device apart: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HTC+Amaze+Motherboard+Replacement/73022

I haven't done it yet, and may not considering 3G is going away and there is no LTE with it (funny, given "4G" in the name).
Given the "similar threads", it seems this is a common issue. Disappointing, but definitely better than LG or Moto issues. My old Nokia has been flawless other than using the very obsolete Symbian OS.
