r/MotorolaSignature

I bought the Motorola Signature back in February, a month after it was released. I bought it from an eBay seller. I got the Indian global model, and surprisingly, it works perfectly with all major US carriers: T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T.

If you're going to buy one, get the Indian model. I would recommend using an MVNO company like US Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, Tello, or Google Fi, because if you use this phone with postpaid (as far as AT&T and Verizon) and use the physical SIM card, there are chances that they will kick you off the network. You will have to take the SIM card out, put it into a US model, reactivate it, and then put it back into the SIM tray in the Signature.

MVNO companies usually bypass that hurdle, and I've been using it with US Mobile on Light Speed, which is T-Mobile, Darkstar, AT&T, and Verizon, and I've had no connection issues. The phone surprisingly supports full 5G carrier aggregation. I have tested it with NetMonster, and I'm just blown away by how this phone works just as well as a US domestic phone.

This is the only global phone that will work perfectly like a US domestic phone here in the United States. I have a vivo X300 Pro that doesn't support 5G carrier aggregation. It will work, but it's not the greatest. I hope the next model from Motorola comes out with the Signature Plus and has even better cameras and better specs. That would be awesome.

Thank you, Motorola. You guys nailed this and knocked this out of the park.

Quick update guys: I just checked with Motorola Support (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/motorola-signature/Android-17-Motorola-signature/m-p/10041519) and came to know that Android 17 for Motorola Signature is still in testing/beta phase, and the stable public release is not available yet.

The ~5.75 GB update file is also not publicly available at the moment. Once testing is completed and Motorola starts the official rollout.

So, if you are waiting for Android 17, we need to wait a little longer. 😄

I just bought Moto Signature 2 months ago and already facing a major issue. My phone is stuck at 50% charge and is not going more than that no matter how much time i charge it with the moto charger.

And when i do unplug it shuts down after 5 minutes and doesn't start even after pressing snd holding the power button.

Only starts when i connect it again with the moto charger to active power socket.

This highly looks like a hardware or battery issue to me.

Is anybody else facing this or has any solution software wise.

I have always used the moto charger and kept the battery saver and protection on as well. I even kept the charge boost off from the first day and kept safe charging on to 80%.

Please provide any solution if anybody has one. I really went against all others opinions to trust moto and buy this phone.

So I've been enjoying the phone for 6 months now. I've got a magsafe power bank that I'd like to use but cannot find a decent magsafe case in India. All the ones I tried have the magnets positioned slightly below the actual wireless charging coil.

Have any of you found one that has a good magnet position?

PS. I know AliExpress has some good options but it's banned in India.

UPDATE: seems I may have just been really unlucky with the 4 cases I tried. Signature cases with a normal profile do exist. It's just hard to see from the webstore pictures and select the right one. That said, ALL magsafe rings I've seen were completely misaligned compared to the official case.

One of the reasons I chose this phone is because it has similar width, weight and thickness as my old device, a Oneplus 6 (I know, my phones last long!). The signature is even a bit thinner, and I'm very happy with it out of the box.

What's really disappointing, is the available TPU cases. ALL of them:

• Have the magsafe ring in the wrong place. Just compare it with the placement in Motorola's official case.
• Are badly designed and WAY too thick. The OnePlus 6, with a standard TPU case, goes from 7.75mm, to ~9mm thick. The Signature, with a standard TPU case, goes from 6.99mm to ~13mm. With similar crazy increases in widt and weight.
• Seem to be from at most 3 almost identical moulds. Barely any variety with identical oversized measurements and erroneous mag ring placement.

Does anyone know why this is? Is it like this for all phones nowadays? Or is it only because the Signature is not as widely adopted as Samsung and Apple devices? Meaning companies don't invest much in making a proper fit? I rarely buy phones so I wouldn't know.

I'm somewhat annoyed. The Signature is a beautiful, slim, lightweight device that sets itself apart with flagship specs. IMO it's the ergonomic sweet-spot on the market right now. I loathe that every single case for it so far turns it into an unwieldy brick.

Thanks for reading my rant and please do share suggestions if you have any.

I wanna buy a phone so can you please give me suggestions?

Pixel 10a , Motorola Signature , Samsung S24, Samsung S25 FE

I have these options in mind. So can you suggest to me please which one is better and why?

I guess they have stopped rolling out the A17 update. I haven't received yet and it seems like no one is receiving the same.

I am about to get the phone tomorrow.
I am wondering if we can unlock its bootloader aka rooting it?

I mostly use xiaomi phones and first thing i do is, using pixel os in it after unlocking.

so wondering if same is possible.

ps: i heard it doesn't come with default gallery app etc, how you guys handling that? (i personally use aves and google photos but a photo gallery like from xiaomi would be good)

Now that i see (and heard) it doesn't provide many default apps, i am wondering what apps do you guys use for like

1. gallery
2. gallery editor
3. dialer (i hate google dialer)
4. compass

coming from MI phone, i absolutely love their gallery and gallery editor (even in my AOSP roms, i use them only) and mi phone dialer is very good.

what i hate most about 3rd party gallery apps is ads in between, except aves which i really like.

so i want to hear your suggestions and while we are at it, would be great if you can mention any useful/unique apps you use (like camera pass gcam etc)

Whenever I try to open a shortcut from the lockscreen, it asks for a password. I feel like I’m missing a setting here. Help me out!

Received my device today. Love it so far, but am a bit surprised to find the 'Edge Lighting' options missing from the Personalization menu in the settings.

Searching online doesn't give a definitive answer on if Motorola displays with a 'half-curve' like the Signature and specific Edge 50, 60 and 70 models even come with the Edge Lighting feature.

I found posts on Reddit and Lenovo forums confirming a store model of an Edge 70 Fusion had the Edge Lighting options, but their own personal model didn't.

Do any of you have this option in their menu? And if not, do you have any other suggestions for something that can replace the function of a notification LED?
