Razr 50 Ultra
Hi
Recently got the Razr 50 ultra as I always want a smaller phone but they're getting rare...and Moto were clearing them out at a pretty good price. £450 plus the Loop earbuds foc.
Love the form factor, display is great and the fold doesn't bother me as much as I thought it might, the camera is pretty good, battery is fine etc. and it's nice and small in the pocket.
Now I've had it a couple of weeks a few gremlins have appeared which I don't know if they're just quirks of Android 16 which I updated to straight away or inherent to the device.
Any fixes or tips gratefully received.
The proximity sensor isn't great, while on a call my cheek/face is obviously pressing various different options and when I end a call there's all sorts of shenanigans happened. Any tips?
Wireless Android Auto, won't connect while folded. As soon as it's unfolded it'll connect perfectly. Bluetooth connects almost instantly though. Has it always been like that?
Making a call in the car, it doesn't seem to be using the car kit all the time, it'll show the Bluetooth connection and the car is showing the connection but the call is coming out of the phone. Is this a recent thing?
As an aside I'm a bit disappointed to find out a phone at this level doesn't have USB C HDMI out but that's on me for not checking first.
Thanks in advance!
