Motorola Moto G7 Play: Any unlocking companies who can ACTUALLY unlock this phone?

Sun, 27 Mar 2022 00:38:29 -0700

Normally I unlock these by trying my current AT&T SIM (it used to work), but since the Device Unlock app and relies on the device it historically has not - why not admit you just hate having to unlock phones already, AT&T? The issue now is I ported my number to T-Mobile, so that option is done. This mess is making these phones waste so far.

At one point, I got a Moto G7 Play (purchased used) which is SIM locked to AT&T I got as a backup phone, before switching. This phone has always been SIM locked, but it was cheap and I had AT&T at the time. However, it keeps getting denied for ineligibility and AT&T denies and says use the app. I tried to have it done with The Unlocking Company, but they couldn’t figure it out and refunded me… Not great, since they also had trouble with an AT&T locked LG I tried with them. I think these Device Unlock phones are difficult out of spite.

Is there any unlocking companies who are reasonably priced who can figure this out, without paying for AT&T service for 6 months and looking like a drug dealer for months just to pay up the nose for a “SIM unlock”? I’d sooner dump the locked phones on eBay if I can’t do it without giving them money again. See why here:

PS: Yes, I looked into the “shill it to family” method, but they’re looking past AT&T too.

Motorola Moto G7 Play: Not finding satellites when connected to HS720 drone

Thu, 14 Oct 2021 17:29:32 -0700

I have a Holy Stone 720 drone. It uses the Ophelia app. The phone runs the app and connects with the camera just fine but does not find any satellites. Therefore all the follow me and circle features don’t work. My wife’s iPhone 6 works just fine with all the features. Since the iPhone does work, I am guessing then that it must be some setting on the Moto G7. Any suggestions?

Thu, 04 Jun 2020 00:23:01 -0700

So I have this Moto g7 play Android phone running on 9 pie. Not even sure what that really means but my phone is hacked and the few phones before that were hacked into also I've changed phones, phone numbers, and phone carriers even went through a whole lotta different Google and Facebook accounts always same result. How I always know is the phone regardless if where I am it always says I'm in Pennsylvania however I've never even been there I'm pretty sure I know who is doing it but the real question is. How do I make it stop and reclaim my phone and really my life too

Motorola Moto G7 Play: People can't hear me only from my house.

Sun, 31 Dec 2023 13:58:27 -0700

My phone worked fine until my Frontier internet was 'upgraded' to Fiber Optics.

The internet and wifi work fine in my house.

My cell phone does not work fine any more.

People cannot hear me when I call or they call when I am in the house. Frontier won't let me go back to my simply broadband internet which allowed my cell phone to work just fine once I had a 4g LTE Network Extender from Verizon.

When I use the extender with the fiber optics internet, people can't hear me. I can hear them

I have tried everything and then some.

My cell phone worked fine in my house until they changed my internet to Fiber Optics.

There must be a solution to this problem out there somewhere...?

I need to be able to use my phone in my own house.

Any ideas are super appreciated.

Thanks.

Motorola Moto G7 Play: Perfect screen, touch not recognized. Motherboard or screen issue?

Sat, 03 Apr 2021 10:52:20 -0700

My phone is relative new but it started having a problem a couple of weeks ago with not recognizing touch on the screen. It hasn’t been dropped, and the screen itself is in perfect condition.

At first it seemed like I could reset the phone a few times and it would work again for a while, but it no longer recognizes touch at all despite a factory reset and anything else I can think of that may have been software related.

I opened up the back of the phone to see if the display cable was loose, but it wasn’t. It also didn’t show any signs of being broken, shorted, etc. I disconnected the cable and connected it again just in case, but the screen still doesn’t recognize touch. The screen lights up and everything displays perfectly, but the touch sensing capabilities are just not there.

So, my question is this: Does this sound like an issue where I should replace the screen? Or does this sound like an issue where the motherboard itself is bad? I’d hate to spend the money and buy a new screen and have it just do the same thing with the new screen.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and your advice!
