Motorola Moto G5 Plus 16GB Questions & Answers

I've not had any such Bluetooth connectivity issues. My phone and car are always connected via Bluetooth. The only issue I ever have is music not automatically playing, but that seems to be an issue with the music player app, as calls work just fine. You've also mentioned that Bluetooth breaks up now and then, and I've had this too, when using 2.4Ghz WiFi at the same time. Bluetooth & WiFi share 2.4Ghz, and do interfere with one another. Since switching to 5Ghz WiFi, there's been no issues.

yes I purchased the XT1805 moto g 5 plus from Kogan and am having bluetooth issues. I cant seem to answer the phone normally and have to put it on speaker. I have another moto g 5 plus model XT1585 that works perfectly. I am wondering if the kogan stock was grey import?

Do you mean the phone screen thinks you touched it when you actually didn't? I don't have that problem on my G5 Plus.

I bought the phone from Good Guys, and it definitely has a gyroscope. (The gyroscope works fine, too.)

Can't find it maybe ?

Sorry from the wrong generation to be able to answer that. I would be contacting Motorola.au thru this link they have a chat online times listed they are roughly 8:30am - 6:30 you can contacted. They should be able to provide you this answer. Good luck. (:

Sorry just noticed you answered your own question the next day that you bought the phone.

Hi Lochie,. Unfortunately the Australian version doesn't have the gyro sensor, but I have found that Google maps works well in the suburbs but not city centres as it uses triangulation from phone towers for location. The signal gets scrambled around high rise buildings. Download TomTom for Android, it has inbuilt maps.

the australian model has a gyroscope according to Motorola. If your phone supports LTE band 28 (700mHz) its most likely an australian model. Kogan and others mostly sell "grey" imports with different specs. LTE band 28 is extremely valuable as virtually all regional 4g networks are going to be on that band previously used for analog tv before it was switched off and now used by telstra and optus. If you have the turbo charger with Australian plug built in it is a genuine Australian model. If supplied with a generic charger or adaptor it is a grey import.

Just regarding Charlie's comment that the Australian version doesn't have the gyro sensor: I bought one from Good Guys, and it came with a working gyroscope sensor.
