Hi,

I just got a new phone. A modest Moto g52. There were only two choices
with Android 12, the other one was the g22, but commentators said it
felt slow. And I am partial to this brand (fewer customization). I
bought the previous model on spring or summer of 2018, and it is still
working except one thing (and no system updates).

I find few snags: no FM radio (the g22 has it), that it is not 5G, and
that the dual sim slot is "hybrid", ie, the second position is either
the second SIM or a micro SD card (the g22 admits the 3 cards). It only
has 6GB ram, 128 GB of flash. If I add the µSD card, it can be 1TB (the
g22 has 4GB ram).

Compromises.

I made a full backup of the old phone on my computer (a moto G6+), and
started the new phone without the SIM, yet. Soon after starting, after
activating the wifi, it asked if I wanted to copy over accounts/apps/data.

Hell yes.

Connect cables, "no, I don't see your other phone". And then it says
that it is a phone to phone cable, an usb-c to usb-c.

I still had time to try to buy one, but it is a holiday here, many
places do not open. And it is 6€ more for a 10 cm cable.

Fortunately, it accepts WiFi.

It told me to find and start Google app on the other phone, but there
was no need: after placing one near the other, the old phone detected
the new one and asked if I wanted to allow the copy. It asked if I saw
the same geometric pattern on both phones. Then just a few questions
about what I wanted to copy. I said all. 15GB. Still, it says some
videos and photos may not be copied. Well, maybe I can transfer those
later, manually, if I want to.

This was a nice surprise, transferring old phone to new phone has never
been easier.

Of course, there is still 54 minutes to go, it says. Oops, now it says 49.

Cheers, Carlos.

I haven't seen anything in the news worthwhile about Android 12 that you
can't back port if you really want the feature; have you? Has anyone?

I've had the $200 Moto G and the $100 Moto G7, both from Google on sale
each time, and I too liked the "clean" interface of the Motorola Android.

The nice thing is almost all consumer electronics get better faster cheaper
over time (save for one, and you know which one that is, so I won't say).

> and it is still
> working except one thing (and no system updates).

Just to be clear to the others lurking, you have plenty of "updates" on an
Android phone, as even all the way back to 4.4 the news said they were
being updated; what you don't have are Android _version_ updates most
likely, and, likely the security patch updates (after a few years).

The rest of Android (which is _most_ of Android), updates for quite a long
time, and, for some items, there is no known EOL date any of us can find.

Here is a one-to-one comparison of those two phones, G52 vs G22
<https://phonesdata.com/en/compare/5462208/5462094/>
Release Date: 2022, April | 2022, March 04
Dimensions: 160.1 x 74.5 x 8 mm | 164 x 75 x 8.5 mm
Weight: 169 g | 185 g
Screen: 6.6", AMOLED | 6.5", IPS LCD
Main Camera: Triple, 50 MP | Quad, 50 MP
Selfi Camera: Single, 16 MP | Single, 16 MP
Memory: 128GB 4GB RAM | 64GB 4GB RAM
Battery: 5000 mAh | 5000 mAh
Headphone Jack: Yes | Yes
Approximate price: 250 EUR | $ 345

Where, like most phones (save for one brand) it has the standard
functionality of the headphone jack & the sdslot (so it's odd that it
doesn't have the FM radio you speak of).

Running through the rest of the specs, your new phone has a Qualcomm
processor (Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G (6 nm), Octa-core (4x2.4 GHz
Kryo 265 Gold & 4x1.9 GHz Kryo 265 Silver), while the older phone was a
Mediatek CPU.

And the new phone is a fast charging 30 Watt, which is hard to tell from
the specs, but did the 30W fast charging brick come with the new phone?

I recently set up a spare Samsung Galaxy A32-5G and it too asked me if I
wanted to do that (this person had a google account set up on the phone).

You can do it over the radio if they're on the same network, I think.
I think it uses an ad hoc network in fact - but I'm not really sure.

Ah, yes. I thought so. That was my experience although I was wary of the
transfer so I'll be interested to see how well yours went along, but bear
in mind I've posted many times that _all_ the crap that the Android's used
to do that the iKooks blasphemed, have been rectified over time (the iKooks
haven't kept up with the times of course).

One of those things was how easy it is nowadays to move your stuff over.

Is it using an ad hoc network? I think it may be doing that.
Others will know better than I do though.

I suspect that may be standard boilerplate because you can put media in a
ton of places that it might not be looking (e.g., I have my PulseSMS media
go into its own folder on the external sdcard).

Yup. Not only have almost all consumer electronics (save for one) gotten
better faster cheaper over time, but Android updates have gotten better, as
had Android app functionality, and, in particular, the integration of teh
Android device for easy updates.

> Of course, there is still 54 minutes to go, it says. Oops, now it says 49.

Please let us knwo the details as I was leery of it so I did a manual
migration instead but I saw what you saw (Android 11 in this case).

then you haven't looked, and what you call 'back port' is essentially
reimplementing android 12, something which took google quite some time
to do.

When you say no FM radio do you mean no FM chip? If it has a radio chip you
can use next radio and your earphone (cable acts as antenna) to listen to
off-the-air stations as opposed to over the net ones.

You bullshit so much nospam that I'm not even going to ask you to name even
a _single_ useful functionality of Android 12 that isn't already backported
into Android 11.

You _hate_ that your beloved iPhone is the only common consumer electronics
that does NOT get better faster cheaper over time.

>> Others will know better than I do though.
>

And yet you never can back up a single claim you make nospam.

The reason you can't back up any of your claims is simple:
a. Your IQ is no higher than about 80
b. You lack formal education
c. Your self esteem is in the toilet (rightfully so) where you are
_desperate_ to garner self esteem from what Apple advertising feeds you.

When you can back up even a single claim you make, then, after that, you
can come back and tell we Android owners how much you know about Android.

The adults on this newsgroup will note all but the iKooks are trying to
_help_ Chris, where I too found it odd that the FM radio would be missing.

Especially given that the headphone jack is still there (which is half the
problem set).

The OP knows exactly what sub model he has, but a general check finds
conflicting information on the presence of the Motorola G52 FM radio.
<https://droidchart.com/en/motorola/motorola-moto-g52-motog52-7773>
"This Motorola smartphone has FM radio receiver."
<https://www.gizmochina.com/product/motorola-moto-g52/>
"FM Radio = Unspecified"

<https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-Moto-G52_id11899>
"Radio: FM, Stereo, RDS"

<https://latestmobilefaq.com/motorola-moto-g52-faqs-nfc-ir-blaster-ois-5g-waterproof-body/>
"Q : Does Motorola Moto G52 support FM Radio?
A : No, Motorola Moto G52 does not supports FM Radio."

etc.
--
Everyone but the iKooks is trying to be purposefully helpful to the OP.
(The iKooks are only interested in defending all things Apple.)

Yes, that's what I did. It insists the phones have to be close to one

It did not transfer the entire whatsapp stuff, only a little bit. It
relies on whatasapp own internal backup (which is uploaded to google
drive), but that one doesn't include photos/videos unless you tick for
it, and then it takes ages. So I did that internal backup of messages,
and later just cloned the directories across phones, using the computer.
Worked perfectly. Oh, it insisted on importing from the google drive
backup any way, so I let it. But I can see the photos on the messages,
so it's fine.

Of course, takes a lot of space in the phone. I will deal with that
another day.

It worked well, but not everything was transferred. Whatsapp I copied
manually. k9 did not transfer; on starting it, I noticed it suggested to
import a backup file, which I then generated on the old phone, and
transferred. I imported it, but I still had to enter the isp mail
password - which is a good thing.

So I think that applications that have their own backup system (like
these two) are not transferred via the general system.

It transferred my background photo, but it did not transfer "the icons"
on the "desktop". So now I am creating the shortcuts to start each app,
one by one, and re-organizing them.

Interestingly, even though the screens are the same size on both phones,
at least one widget is bigger on the new phone. Both are 2x1, but has
more pixels. Visibly so. (rain alarm).

AFAIK, no FM radio chip. The old phone has it, but not the g52. I would
like it to have FM, but there was no choice.

Well, I just tried, and indeed the radio FM works. I'm very surprised.
It is certainly not mentioned by them:

https://www.motorola.es/smartphones-moto-g-52/p

And has RDS, at least the station name and maybe program name.

The SOC in the g52 (Snapdragon 680) supports an FM radio, and the G52
has a headphone jack for an antenna.

<https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-Moto-G52_id11899> states
that the g52 has an FM radio. They might have been basing this off the
fact that the Snapdragon 680 has FM radio capability, though it's
possible that Motorola disabled the FM radio.

Sometimes you have to just install an FM radio app when the specs don't
say that it has an FM radio. Try

Samsung includes a USB-A to USB-C OTG adapter as well as a USB-A to
USB-C cable so you can do USB-C to USB-C transfer.

Since many new USB-C PD chargers also support QC 3.0, I prefer USB-C to
USB-C cables and having a good stock of high-quality, high-wattage,
cables is a good idea. These cables are not cheap, even ordered from
China they are around $4 for a high quality, braided, strain-relieved,
100 watt, cable from a >96% rated seller.

I always find it a little disappointing that it only transfers data and
a list of apps to be installed, and nothing w.r.t. settings, stored
credentials, etc.

Even when the old and new phone are exactly the same type (happens regularly
in our company when people have dropped the phone etc), it still is a lot
of work to get everything setup, registered and logged in again. I
would hope that at some time Google can master the art of transferring
settings 100% between the same devices and "as best as possible" when
upgrading to a new device.

We covered this. In detail. Ask Andy Burns.
You get _plenty_ of system updates on Android after Android 10.

In fact you get updates to almost the entire system (25 core modules!).
Those _system_ updates are in _addition_ to the key app updates.

And they're in addition to _Android Security_ updates.
And they're in addition to _Android Version_ updates.

Almost all of the Android _system_ is updated with no known EOL date.

> that the last one is from July 2020.

You didn't say of what, so I presume you mean Security Updates.

I agree that they don't last as long as the Android system updates do.
Nor as long as the Android Version updates do.

In another post to someone else on this same thread I showed that you can
easily find that some reports say the FM radio is there, others say it's
not there, and that still others say it's maybe there. :)

I'm just saying in general I've seen the FM radio and the headphone jack as
a pair, but they don't have to be a pair - they just often usually are.

Most Android phones come with huge batteries and fast chargers nowadays.

Great! Motorola knows how to take care of their customer base.

Thanks for that information. When I saw what it wanted to do, I wasn't sure
what it would do so I didn't do it. It's nice that you tried & that it
worked. I wonder if it copied over all the old apps and re-installed them?

Good! Thanks for letting us know as just with almost all consumer devices
getting better faster cheaper, Android is just getting easier to port from
one phone to another by the day! Good for you! Good for us.

You have plenty. :) I think you said you have 128GB. Plus portable memory
if you want it (the sdcard isn't really useful anymore for expansion - but
it's _still_ useful for portable memory - like thumb drives are on PCs).

Interesting. Good to know. Luckily you still have the old phone so you can
copy "stuff" over one by one as you find out what's missing.

Just a reminder that "some" App Launchers have a "backup" option.
Nova free launcher does, for example.

Nova will bring over _all_ the app icons in the exact same place they were
on your old phone. I've done it many times so I know that it works well.

I don't remember the pixel difference but that "might" be the reason.
Also each launcher default to its own grid (Nova lets you set the grid).

Thanks for checking as I found it odd that it had all the basic expected
industry standard functionality that most phones have, so I found it odd
that it wouldn't have FM radio.

I don't even know what RDS is... so I'll search since others may be similar
to me in not knowing offhand what it is...
"Radio data system or RDS is a standard for sending small amounts
of data through conventional FM radio broadcasts. The RDS system
standardizes several types of information transmitted, including
track/artist info and station identification."
<https://www.gsmarena.com/glossary.php3>
<https://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=339>

There's a lot more detail here:
*What the heck is the RDS?*
<https://boss104.gu/boss-104-3-blog/322619>

I'm glad it supports industry standards, unlike some other brand we know.

While I have a good stock of ten feet long USB-C to USB-A, and luckily, so
far, all my free fast chargers have been USB-A, I think we're all destined
to need to keep those USB-C to USB-C cables around (Sigh. One more cable.)

No, it is "actualizaciones de sistema", clearly labelled as such in the
setup of my phone. Then it says that the last security patch was applied
2020-07-01.

And then I have the problem of "Android Auto" not connecting to my car.

It even has a semi-soft transparent plastic back cover.

The manual is just 2 or 3 pages in each language, fits in my palm. Small
print.

I still have not figured out "gestures", which are different than on the
previous phone for no reason.

It is not that plenty when photos get bigger with each camera; and I can
not put a memory card as I want to have the 2nd SIM available for
travelling when needed.

I will have a go at further compressing the photos, and perhaps the
videos. Some script. One week I'm not too busy.

I guess NFC for negotiation and authorization, then WiFi. I heard of an

I made a full backup to the computer. My previous phone will be

go to storage or guests.

Yes, I know, we commented about that. I like keeping these things on

I take the chance to reorganize the icons :-)

Basically, it transmits the (FM) station identifier, or network
identifier; sometimes also the program name. It is useful in the car
radio, because as you drive the system automatically moves over to
another station of the same name in the area. It also transmits some
other data such as the current hour and I forget which.

Unfortunately, some stations do not transmit a "good" time clock, can be
off by anything from one minute to 30, even hours. So you set the car
clock to "auto", and it is constantly shifting and driving you nuts. So,
set the car clock to "manual". Have new gadgets to then disable them.
Not the first time they goof like this... happened to the VCRs, too.

Changing stations automatically can also be a problem, when the radio
network changes to regional or local information instead of national.
When you are in the "frontier" region or in the mountains, the radio
keeps changing to the best station, but the program is totally
different. Pain on the backside then.

Maybe they think that transmitting passwords is a security risk. Clone a
phone with the cable, and steal that person identity.

As you noted, before the transfer starts there are things that you
need to do on both phones, and maybe they can be extended.
But as it is now, swapping a phone because of a defect or upgrade is
much more work than would be desirable (and than is the case with
the equipment of the competitor)

I was surprised at just how many people actually use the FM radio. I've
used it on occasion but lately I've seen others using it and not buying
phones that lack it.

bullshit, nor can you tell if someone is using it without asking them.

industry stats show that it's rarely used and not a factor in purchase
decisions.

It is a commodity.

Say I'm driving listening to something, so when I enter the supermarket
I may want to continue listening to it. Not something I do every day,
far from it, but occasionally. It is the only place I use it, elsewhere
I prefer a real radio with proper speakers.

Given the choice of having it or not, I prefer a phone with it, if the
rest is acceptable.

Other people take a walk while listening to the radio. Yes, there is
internet radio, but not everybody has unlimited internet plans.

For instance, when using internet radio with "radioonline", I can only
select the central station of the network I want, not the local one of
my city. I can use the app provided by that network to select any city,
but it is full of adware, bloated. A pain to use. And requires registration.

Cheers, Carlos.

Did anyone receive the April Play System Update yet? I'm still stuck on the
March version. On my Pixel5a it has already received the May Security Update.

But they still make it almost impossible to see what "core module" updates your
device has received via the play system mechanism... you shouldn't have to copy
apk/apex files off the thing over adb and poke about inside zip archives on a PC
to check what version you have ...

You're well ahead of me with your Pixel over my Samsung Galaxy A32-5G.
One UI version = 4.1
Android version = 12
Google Play Store = 30.3.21-21 <com.android.vending>
Google Play Services = 22.12.15 <com.google.android.gms>
Google Play system update = January 1, 2022
Baseband version = A326USQU7BVD1
Kernel version = 4.14.186-23893183 Apr 7 2022
Build number = SP1A.210812.016.A326USQU7BVD1
SE for Android status = Apr 07 2022
Knox version = 3.8 Knox API level 35
Service provider software version = (long - see screenshot)
Carrier configuration version = 2.370001
Security software version = ASKS v4.5 Release 20211027
Android security patch level = April 1, 2022

However, I just noticed I have a "Google Play Services" update:
<https://i.postimg.cc/FHJ16nvF/update01.jpg> Android 11->12 screwed up!
<https://i.postimg.cc/BZD7B2tr/update02.jpg> 22.12.15 (150400-439420056)
<https://i.postimg.cc/cJK9rbjn/update03.jpg> Reload all software :(
<https://i.postimg.cc/yNwf9T4r/update04.jpg> Google Play Services update

So I just updated it
From: Google Play Services 22.12.15 (150400-439420056)
To: Google Play Services 22.12.15 (190400-439420056)
<https://i.postimg.cc/mkSVvfc0/update05.jpg> 22.12.15 (190400-439420056)

You're still way ahead of me on your Google Play system update though.
Yours: April 1, 2022
Mine: January 1, 2022

Let's see where the others are.
