I'm using it for a unique purpose where I have a computer hutch (armoire) wall unit and in one of the small nooks (shelf) I had an old 13" old school TV that I needed to replaced with a small 15" Flat screen HD TV, but this TV was 1" too wide to fit inside the nook (shelf). - - - I bought this awesome TV Wall Mount, although it is overkill for my 15" TV, it does what I needed it to do - - - so when I'm done with using the computer and watching this TV, I can maneuver the TV in such a way as to tuck it inside the nook shelf space to put it out of the way so I can close the whole wall unit Hutch with their two doors - - - similar to an armoire. - - - Good quality product.

I bought this Moto X4 Unlocked 32GB/3GB Ram to (Activate Later) for $149.99 (reg $349.99) to activate Tracfone on it with the “Tracfone: Keep your own smartphone Sim Kit - AT&T” for my mom. (XT1900-1)
#1) BUY THIS PHONE! – For this price, you should run out of the store like you stole something, lol. Why? Because the specs on this phone for that price is just awesome.
#2) Just for an example: I have the LG G6 and while the specs are better on paper – this Moto X4 seems better in every category. I am Jelly.
#3) My LG phone ppi = 564 , Moto X4 ppi = 424 (but the Moto looks more crisp and detailed)
My phone processor = 821 , Moto processor = 630 (but the Moto seems snappier)
My phone processor = 821 , Moto processor = 630 (but the Moto seems snappier)
#4) This is the Moto X4 “Android One” meaning that this device runs a “pure Android experience” that focuses on providing timely OS and security updates. Motorola and Google promise that this device will get Android Oreo 8.0 and with a guaranteed and fast update to Android Pie 9.0 with all the security update in between.
This is exactly what happen to me: Phone started with Android Oreo 8.1.0 OPWS 28.46-21-16 and then got 5 separate Security Patches, then got the Android Pie 9.0 then got another 4 Security Patches. I am now at the Security Patch: PPW 29.69-39-2 (April 1, 2019).
So, I went through 9 Security Updates and 1 Android OS UpGrade, so you’ll have to dedicate about 2.9 hours to this, I didn’t want to NOT do an update fearing that if I went back to the phone later to continue the rest of the updates to find out that it won’t update anymore for some reason.
NOTE: Have the phone plugged into the wall power outlet the whole time you do these updates, you will be doing a lot of restarts and boot-ups – and be patient, let the phone boot-up completely before doing another update and restart. Never rush this type of procedure.

More General Cellphone Notes:
1) Never fill up your internal hard-drive with Apps, try to have only Half filled – the phone will run faster and actually uses the empty space to run quicker.
1) Never fill up your internal hard-drive with Apps, try to have only Half filled – the phone will run faster and actually uses the empty space to run quicker.
2) Buy the highest capacity external SDHC Card you can afford to put you MP3 music and have your pictures go to the SDHC Card and not the internal hard drive.
3) If you use any widgets for example: a Weather App or Calendar App, try to only have 2 widgets running on the phone Max. Having more running, constantly drains resources and pulls too much RAM (memory).
Bottom Line: BUY THIS PHONE!

Connect your ISP to it, then it to your Router - does what a modem does - also, my ISP actually sent an update to the modem - in my area the down stream is blue but the up stream is green - but in time both down and up stream will be in Blue eventually.

It's the same Gen 2 Fire TV Stick with an improved Gen 2 Alexa Voice Remote that has the added Volume up/down, mute and power button for the TV only. I do wish the power was for the Fire TV Stick, but no, you put it to sleep just like before. I also notice that there is WiFi activity from the Fire TV Stick even though it's in sleep mode, kinda weird, I think it's for updates in the background.

After taking a photo, it's very fast on writing to the card and displaying on the preview screen on a (LG G6), no lag whatsoever.
Does what RAM does ;)
Bought it for $41.99 seemed to be a good price at the time and it's an : A1 that is faster for Apps if Apps are installed onto the SD card.

I bought this because I wanted good specs like the harddrive space 32GB and 4GB RAM with a good processor - I was tired of waiting for an App or webpage to load and needed more memory, since all my other older phones just had only 1GB of RAM and in 2018 - that's just not enough.
There's nothing I don't like about the phone, it's great all around, and it even updated from Android 7.1 to Oreo 8.0 at initial startup.
I am using a Tracfone sim card through Verizon network and it's great.
I have just one little gripe and I bet it will be addressed in the next OS update to PIE 9.0 - but when charging the phone, when finished - the phone gives no audible indication that it's fully charged, like all my other LG phones have done, I find it quite strange, really. It does show in the notification dropdown but no audible indication - so you might be keeping it on the charger for longer than needed.
Talking about the battery: it gives me 2 days charge, with WiFi, Location, Bluetooth and Sync ON.
- - - - - I highly recommend this phone. - - - - -

I just bought the $19.99 pre paid plan for 90 days. But it is $17.99 because I got the auto refill. Just confirming this $17.99 will be charged every 90 days
Yes, you are correct, I am doing the same exact thing. - - - - - - BUT check on the Tracfone APP on your phone to see if it still says that your enrolled in the AUTO REFILL, mine still says its ok, BUT my friend's phone for some strange reason was knocked off the Auto Refill and the website have erased the previous transaction so they can't just enroll in the Auto Refill because there is NO Transaction history to "Auto Refill" to. - - - - - So they will have to re-buy the $19.99 / 90 Day Plan and activate the Auto-Refill at that point. Very Frustrating!

i have a account , but for two days i cant get in my account, i cant get my balance or add time to my phone
Yes, as of March 22, 2022, I am still having problem logging into my Account as well and if you go online hundreds of thousands of customers are having the same problem. - - - - - - It's because Tracfone has been sold to Verizon and their website techs seem to be working on their website. - - - - - - - The site was working perfectly before Verizon took over the company and it seems that they should have just left the website alone.

how can i block spam calls and text on this phone
On what phone? All cellphones have a way to block calls and text, just look in the manual or online for directions. - - - - But generally: go to > Phone > Recents > look for the phone # you want to block > tap on the ( i ) Icon > there should be a Block option.

Have an unlocked iPhone SE. Can I use a prepaid 60 minute tracfone card in this phone? Need phone service for temporary travel..
I don't see why not - - - - For example: I bought an Unlocked LG G6 from BestBuy and then bought the Tracfone SIM card kit for $1.00 and picked my carrier of choice: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile - - - - went online with Tracfone and activated the cellphone with the new SIM card I bought and it's working great. - - - - - - Although I just bought a newer Tracfone branded phone and switched over and then after a certain period of time I will be able to have this Tracfone branded cellphone unlocked by Tracfone.
