I just picked up this phone this morning,,,,, Thanks for this AWESOME vid!!!! The worst part about getting a new phone is learning the navigation..... YOU MADE IT VERY EASY!!!!
Thanks so much for such a clear-cut video, relaxed manner, it's very helpful. My problem is with the cool double tap the power to get shortcuts. I followed your instructions but I only get lunch assistant or the camera, and none. There is no option for shortcuts or anything like that that you show. Any idea what kind of thing I could have changed on the phone, it's a new one, that would have made this cool feature not work for me? To be clear, I do have a Motorola Moto g power 2021 Android phone.
I set my roommate up with one of these to upgrade from an ancient flip phone. It "spoke" to me so I just got one to replace my 5yr old Samsung. I love that I still have the freedom of an unlocked phone, and the switch was seamless and nearly instant! (I use tracfone) Your research & testing of all these features is amazing!
honestly, after watching a bunch of reviews and tips and tricks video for this phone i just got, i was so bored. clicked on yours bc you offered 44 of them, and i gotta say, i genuinely appreciate the little backround decoration n' sht you got going on. its refreshing that i'm not just staring at a blank table.
I'm having the same problem with my text sound notifications. I always receive my text messages, but the sound notification is intermittent. It is like there is a limit on how many sound notifications I can get per contact? Seems to happen mainly with my frequent contacts. Thanks.
Some of the changes involves more than what you say and have turn you to stop and then finish the procedure!!!!!! Or go back and forth as you do go a little fast because you have been there before!!! Not all the tricks I like but boy Oh boy a lot of them are great!!! You have great way of presenting them with clarity but a little fast!!!!!!!
thats a good question but i dont have my sim in at the moment. I believe all you have to do it go to the contact and add it there in contacts settings but let me play with it.
@@CButler Thank you. I figured it out, You have to go to that contact in text, then tap on the 3 dots and hit details. Then tap notifications, tap advanced, then sound
Great video but I have some quick question!How to silence notifications only and what if when you pull down the screen it doesn't have guest screen icon, how do you then get to it?
The Motorola G is a fantastic phone you have to get one it's close to a Samsung and most the upgrade phones I have one so I know it's a great phone I'm loving it it's better than most of the phones they get I'm so happy they upgraded some of their phones is terrible I have noticed other people talked about it but I haven't had that problem yet there are really great programs you have to try it save on a lot of bills🤩🥰🤑
So, looking at the screen it is hard to see the difference in 720-1080p display.. so that's kinda cool. I make alot of music and screenwriting. So it might okay for those things..
I cannot figure out why I am not hearing any sound for my incoming messages! I have my volume turned up the whole way and also have individual sound settings set up for different things like notifications, but I still don’t hear anything when I receive a message. Can anyone help?
I can't wait to listen to all these super features since I already got the phone lol I haven't had a good phone for a really long time, and despite paying 129.00 for the 4/64 GB version, this is BY FAR the best phone I've gotten myself in years. So far I'm extremely impressed, mainly because as I use this 130 dollar phone, I can't help but imagine what the experience is like having a $1k phone, right now lol I can't imagine it feels much different, unless you're doing professional gaming/filming/photography, etc. I just needed a phone 😁
Cool video. I just snagged this phone for 260 Canadian. It’s the 64gb version with 4gb of ram. It’s gonna be my phone for when I leave the country. Hopefully it works good. Looking forward to checking it out.
I think that I was able to activate the announcement of a text message by highlighting the triangle icon at the top of the phone where it's notated: Conversations and choosing from the drop down items..
I found this enlightening. But I have a question. How can I change the colour of a button on an app icon which indicates that i have a notification? Tks
So on guess mode, Can someone access the messages and messenger and UA-cam and stuff like that?. Or does it just block all apps from Opening up Incase a kid starts pressing buttons ??
Trying to decide on this phone. Many are saying, it’s a downgrade or side step from G power 2020 model. I’m want a phone with large screen, good battery and not looking to sped 300.-. Thanks
I just can't with that fake plant! I also want to give you a manicure or at least a coconut oil and sugar scrub. Otherwise, love the content, really helped me set up and learn about my new phone. Best video, great voice and you covered a lot!
First thing I did was change the gestures to the 3 button layout. ALSO btw, my last phone was some cheaper Motorola I got a few years ago, and the only (MAIN) reason I bought THIS phone, was for that Motorola flashlight shaking feature! That's the COOLEST feature I've seen on a smartphone in a decade, then Amazon said this phone was 48% off 👀 and when I saw that, I hit buy now and got a waterproof case. I've lost too many phones getting randomly caught in the rain on my motorcycle.
I have Moto power 2021. Some things are different. I STILL cannot get my phone to vibrate AND ring. My vibrate setting turns off the ringer! Piece of junk!! ☹️
I received this phone last week and really disliked it bcuz I knew nothing about it. You've created the most informative tutorial, concise, laid back, just wish you went a bit slower for those of us who may be a bit slower. Stellar ✌️♥️
C Butler I've been trying to format my moto as yours. The kid @ the store really blew it w contacts, apps, sim and sd card. How do I get my apps where I want them? Like you did?! I was gonna give my Moto away but I'm keeping it bcuz of your tips n tricks TY
I meant to ask you....have you ever seen 3rd party apps that people use to manage their photos on android that are cooler than the stock motorola photos app? I'm not a fan so far.
All you do is open Hotspot and setup a password then turn on Hotspot then connect any device through through wifi but enter the password in the other device and it connects automatically
How did you get the notifications on the lock screen (where the clock is showing before you actually turn on the phone)? I'm not sure how you do that.. I don't have that turned or anything. Help? And a pretty neat trick is to hold the power button for a second and you can screenshot with a tap. It's neat. Like if you tried this if you have this phone 😊
Before you can add a guest user you have to have that ability turned on in settings! You go so fast that I have to stop and stop and stop to find out what’s going on.
When accessing my photos in the gallery I sporadically get interrupted by games to download, tic-toc etc and sometimes have difficulty stopping this annoyance. Is there a solution?
Bought my wife the G power cellphone. While watching your tips i heard that ding dong ring about 16 minutes in your video. You said nothing about it. My wife's phone does this. My question is what is it? How does she turn it off?
Something I hated about my last phone (Revvlry+) it was some Motorola clone made my T mobile, it had NO GALLERY. So weird. Gonna check out this Gallery app. Bruh, my phone gonna be exactly like yours by the end of this, sorry for copying you but you simply made the phone 100% better. I gotta get my Microsoft Swift key set up tho I can't use this keyboard that came with this phone (Moto G Power 2021). It doesn't feel like 48mp on the camera, sup with that lol? Can you explain what they mean by 48MP?? FR it looks nothing better than 16mp tops.
How can I get Spotify to play while my screen is locked and my headphones are plugged in? Spotify keeps pausing on me when I lock my screen with headphones plugged in
Somehow I was having a lot of difficulty; after tapping the screen twice, I was able to get back to the program and remove it. Not what I was looking for.

Hey how can I stop my actual message from being seen when I get a text? If someone is using my phone and a text come in they can see my actual message and I HATE THAT!!!!

I'm having the same problem with my text sound notifications. I always receive my text messages, but the sound notification is intermittent. It is like there is a limit on how many sound notifications I can get per contact? Seems to happen mainly with my frequent contacts. Thanks.
Thank you for your super help. I learned about alot of features I didnt know I had! You are appreciated for sharing with us! 🙂
very beautiful video and very helpful thanks bless you for your kindness
Dude this is my second power phone and I had no idea. Thank you sir!

I got a G7 power happy with it but today I cracked the glass.... I'm upgrading to a G Power 2020 Thanks for the info it really helped me decide ... 👍.

you can always activate it by going to settings then display, then lock screen display , then click add users from lock screen.

I’ve set a time is itbeen researching last few days. Either read or heard, this phone doesn’t work out of country. Contact Motorola to confirm.
i was not expecting this
What's up bro I like to know where can I get this phone from is it at metro by T-mobile or best buy great video bro keep it up the great work bro
Hey brother yeah Walmart ,amazon,moto website best buy and metro and the mobile and the prepaid carriers
@@CButler thanks bro
Great! How can this phone be waked up without power button or face recognition? Not locked; tried everything. Thank you!!
this is terrific! thank you
I think that I was able to activate the announcement of a text message by highlighting the triangle icon at the top of the phone where it's notated: Conversations and choosing from the drop down items..
Which protective case you recommend??
Poetic or ghostek, I reviewed both of them
@@CButler ….Thanks again.
I found this enlightening. But I have a question.
How can I change the colour of a button on an app icon which indicates that i have a notification? Tks
For real, "shake for flashlight" was so genius, Motorola been selling phones based on that alone and "shake torch" been selling apps from it too.
Can these tricks be done on the Motorola 5g ace ?
Yes most of them will be the same
Thank you that was helpful
So on guess mode,
Can someone access the messages and messenger and UA-cam and stuff like that?. Or does it just block all apps from Opening up Incase a kid starts pressing buttons ??
Nah it will make everything like it's out of the box no messages no account access to UA-cam account etc.

Just got this phone today but can't get the Bluetooth to connect to anything. Any tips??
Maybe I should exchange it?
Yeah I think so I never heard of that issue before , did you try other earbuds or headphones other than the first pair to see if it was just those
Damn that sucks bro
thank you for listing the time/subject!!! :)
The dbl press doesn't work if you have a case on it

C. Butler, how to activate sound or voice when receiving text messages?
Go to settings then accessibility then activate talk back
@@CButler I did this but cannot leave "welcome to talkback" page, and cannot access the phone. How do I close this?
Somehow I was having a lot of difficulty; after tapping the screen twice, I was able to get back to the program and remove it. Not what I was looking for.
Voice readouts (TalkBack)
Get your navigation and selections, read out loud to you. To turn on voice readouts (similar to TalkBack), touch Menu > Settings > Accessibility. Touch Accessibility to enable the settings, then touch Voice readouts.
From the home screen, swipe down from the Notification bar with two fingers.
Tap the Settings icon.

Tap the TalkBack switch to toggle on/off.
Tap OK.
