Thread: Nougat update bricked my Moto Z Force phone 11-30-2016

If anyone has an Android through VZW beware of the latest update.

I installed it this morning when it was shown on my phone as ready to go. Two hours later, the screen flickering on and off every few minutes, I drove over to VZW and they are having a refurbished device sent to me.

Fortunately for me they didn't accept my old Razr HD Maxx as a trade in because of a cracked screen. So at least I have a phone in the meantime. They reactivated the old device.

I still have the Moto Z Force. I'm supposed to send it back when I receive the replacement. I know better than to do an update when they are newly released, but I figured I'd dodge the bullet. No such luck. In the past I've waited to see that the bugs were worked out.

Cellphones are a PITA these days, I really miss my Brick cellphone.
That was a real cellphone.

yea, and you looked really cool using it and so few folks had a cell they just knew you were really important if you had one.

Envy, Spendur,, will get you nowhere.
Had I'd known that you were "Cell-less" at the time, I would have said a prayer for you.

Hey, the poor guy still carries a pocket watch ! ...........

Watch it there fellas, I still carry a pocket watch too. And i long for my old StarTac

Actually when they came out Uncle Sam bought them for us so I carried one from day one. I also had a satellite phone for a while too.

Most of my working life I carried 3 cell phones. One was my personal phone, the other was my issued phone and the other was the duty phone.

When I retired I swore I would never carry a cell again. Well, yes I have a smartphone these days but most of the time it sits on my desk turned off.

That's because nobody calls you,.

:cry

They be afraid to.

Pffffft, nowadays, nobody calls anyone. It's all text messages and emails.

I decided to not post in this thread immediately after I updated my phone. Wanting to see what would happen. I have a Galaxy S6 through Sprint and it is chugging along just fine.

Might be a hardware issue?
