QUOTE(ijuanp03 @ Aug 27 2024, 02:13 PM) You CAN buy a Motorola phone from China but make sure it's SEALED and using CN ROM. Yes, asking the selling if their sets are factory sealed sets. But can only trust their word for it I guess. CN ROM --- OFFICIALLY supports Google Play and other Google services so you do NOT need a Global ROM. 2 things that do NOT work in CN ROM: - Android Auto - Use "Hey Google" to talk to your phone. --- this is disabled from the settings. Of course you can open Google app /Gemini by tapping the icon or double tap the back of your phone to trigger Google Assistant/ Gemini What is working? EVERYTHING. What is everything? Everything that you can think of that you use on a normal Android phone. That's it. Too bad Google Assistant is not working, as I do use the Hey Google feature quite a lot. Any work around? I am guessing CN rom will have their own voice assistant that is not linked to Google. Not really using Android auto, so no issues there. Anyone can confirm if Global rom's Hey Google function will work? This post has been edited by WIS9000: Aug 27 2024, 03:33 PM |

I am guessing CN rom will have their own voice assistant that is not linked to Google. Not really using Android auto, so no issues there. Anyone can confirm if Global rom's Hey Google function will work? - Global ROM converted from CN ROM? or - Global ROM because the device is sold officially OUTSIDE of China (those you can buy from Motorola UK, etc)? To answer your question, both should work (you can use Hey Google). Again, if your "Global ROM" is converted from China ROM, you will not be able to do software updates.. ever Your phone is stuck on whatever of Android OS version you have right now.

Luckily saw your reply on the converted CN rom topic before making the decision.- Global ROM converted from CN ROM? or - Global ROM because the device is sold officially OUTSIDE of China (those you can buy from Motorola UK, etc)? To answer your question, both should work (you can use Hey Google). Again, if your "Global ROM" is converted from China ROM, you will not be able to do software updates.. ever Your phone is stuck on whatever of Android OS version you have right now. Btw, since you are on CN rom, can help check if you can use Google Home or add this quick setting tile? I am hoping this would be a potential fix for the lack of Google Assistant since i use that to control my home automations. TIA. ![]() This post has been edited by WIS9000: Aug 27 2024, 04:27 PM |

Received and started using my RAZR 50 CN set recently. Turns out not really "sealed" as the Motorola white sticker was broken upon unwrapping. A little bit unethical on the seller's part since the broken seal was not obvious / noticeable due to the plastic wrap film.
Anyways, tested out and checked on warranty of the phone and all seems fine. The only question to all now is how do you guys log in to Lenovo ID to make use of the many functions like Xiao Tian AI etc.? It requires a China mobile number to receive a verification SMS. Kinda stuck here. |
