Motorola G4 Plus phone problems

MouldyOldDough

My wifes Motorola G4 Plus (Android 7) phone keeps on switching bluetooth on itself (at switch on) and also the screen keeps on flickering badly - I have googled both of these issues and come up with nothing.....ghost touch ??

Any advice please

It may not be a MSE-compliant solution but a new phone is probably the answer. It's a phone that's maybe 7 years old and was a budget phone in the first place has probably had it by now. Also it's very unlikely that Android 7 is secure any more. I bought a Motorola G6 in 2019, it was showing signs of failing last year and I replaced it with a G62.

The motorola g13 is £140 in argos, and very highly rated.

Try and look at one in the flesh as compared to a g4 it may be huge (I have a g9 power and it is just that little bit too big to carry around)

The G13 has a known txt problem - especially with O2 !!

If she thinks that a phone that's past the end of it's useful life having a problem is a reason not to trust the manufacturer then I repeat my suggestion from your thread on her mistrust of Li-ion batteries in cars: trade in the wife for a less paranoid model!

Does the Honor come with Google play store?
Because it claims to but I thought that huawei had been banned by Google? 
We haven't collected the phone yet

Honor has split from parent Huawei some years and is not affected by the ban
