Son wants to know...can this run fortnite? - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

Has anybody been successful in getting the Moto G6 to run fortnite? My son is wanting to buy himself a new phone and being able to play fortnite is one of the things he's looking into. It's not a dealbreaker, but part of the overall package he's looking at....
Thanks!

Fortnite is only compatible with phones that have a 64-bit OS, which the Moto G6 does not have.

Thanks for the answer! I'll let him know.

this phone wont handle games well.

They have an official list of compatible phones both on there website and also on android authority in this link. https://www.androidauthority.com/fortnite-mobile-compatible-android-devices-888466/ the Moto g6, play g6, nor the g6 plus are compatible. I have the Moto z2 force as well as the g6 play and I'll straight tell you know from playing on my z2 force and my friends Razer phone It's not worth it. Stick with console or PC tbh.

Moto display/voice ports

Y'all think they'll be available, seeing as how this seems to be based on the droid turbo with most of the same hardware?
I had a moto x (2013) and loved those features, just wasn't crazy about the battery life.
A nexus 6 with working active display/moto voice would be amazing.
It looks like Google has incorporated similar features into Android itself.
There's something new called Ambient Display, which is similar to Moto Display.
You can say "OK Google" with the screen off, which is functionally similar to Moto Voice — albeit without the custom launch phrases.
Moto Voice records your voice and then pipes that recording into Google Now. Since this new feature launches Google Now directly, it's probably a lot faster than Moto Voice.
Is there anything setting need to do before OK Google works with screen off?

To be honest I rather have Moto Display than Ambient Display, Google's version just has soo many flaws, and sometimes its not consistent and not only that, theres not much features
If porting the Moto Display and other goodies from the X will be possible I'll be keeping a close eye out
I exported most of the files required for it, but am stuck at the Motorola-specific signature process... And life is getting in the way as well.
Anyone see that China is getting the moto x pro? It's basically the nexus 6 without the nexus branding. Any bets on whether it'll come with the moto tweaks and that a ROM can be made for the nexus 6?
Does anyone know if the moto voice has been ported for the Nexus 6? I like that the moto voice will read your messages to you.

Not yet. I think the best bet would be perhaps getting a dump from the Moto X Pro, which is the Chinese variation of the Nexus 6. China doesn't have Google services, so the Nexus branding has been dropped and all Google apps, but Moto looks to have added their apps to it. Some pics here, which you can see some of the icons on the home screen (unsure if it will have all of the Moto apps though).

Theres a Moto X Pro system dump in this thread.
The Moto X Pro bootanimation.zip uses video files and videodesc.txt instead of .png images and desc.txt like Nexus 6, but it works by just copying /system/bin/bootanimation file from Moto X Pro to Nexus 6, changing permissions and rebooting. Can the same be said for the Moto Apps? Just copy all the apks from /system/priv-app on Moto X Pro to same place on Nexus 6, as well as the /system/lib and /system/bin files?
If anyone knows how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime I'll be searching for threads that point me in the right direction and trying the method I mentioned to see what happens.

Gear S on N6

I own a Moto360 (great watch) and Gear S & 2 but posting the Gear 2 on Craig's List this week. Will the Gear S work when I get the N6 this month?
I am thinking no but was not sure if I could use TB and backup Gear software and restore it on the N6 and work...I have seen post of the Android Wear devices working fine...
Anyone with a Gear running Tizen using the N6?

You can get Samsung smart watches to work on non Samsung phones. Keep in mine if you manually install it by moving to system/app then it should work. I did this for my gear fit on my G3. You won't necessarily get all of the same functionality as with a Samsung phone from what I recall. Its worth a try to see what works and what doesn't.
I'd just get a smart watch I knew would work...rather than spend a pile of money on something that I knew going in would never quite work fully no matter what.

Nexus line

We are not going to get all the features in Pixel in 7.1. Im hoping after someone does get an unlocked version we can get the features. But it looks like it will only be exclusive to Pixel phones including the launcher
May I ask will Nexus 6 get any more security updates as they come down or no?
Or after Nougat thats it plain and simple?
Thanks In advance
The Launcher is an app. I'm already using an older version of it.

No more major Android upgrades, but security updates for at least another year.

After 7.1 that will be it for the 6 i believe. They say the 6 is iffy on getting the 7.1 and it will be a dev preview if we get it and it will be before end of year.

The new launcher will be hard to get until someone gets the phone then im sure we will have it
who cares about updates?
If the phone runs fine, has great specs, and dev support, no one cares about any of this update non sense..
Do you REALLY care if you get the Pixel launcher on this phone, when Nova already blows it away??
Security updates???? You root your phone, don't you, so you obviously dont care that much about "Security"
This obsession with "updates" is really nothing more than a learned dysfunction...

So, I get it, the Pixel is too expensive for me too. But so was the 6 and the 6P. I bought the 6 after it's been out a year. And the Pixel XL is obviously a good phone, even if we disregard all the PR rubbish they said. Well I couldn't give a critter's backside for the Google Assist, but if it sells more phones, good for them. But the camera is superb for the first time, and the screen looks great, and it's optimized for that hardware. That means a no lag Android phone.
If all the above is true, then it should compete with the Galaxy S, and the iPhone line.

It was already mentioned yesterday from the SVP of Google that we will not see all the Pixel exclusive features in 7.1 unless you buy that said phone. They may agree later to expand to other phones just not sure
aside from the better camera, I am not sure many real Nexus "fans" care about any of the so called "features" of 7.1 or the Pixel line itself..

I hear you im happy with my N5 and 6. I dont even use Allo or Duo. Action Launcher and others is just fine with me.
agreed; I tried Allo and duo, but after reading how intrusive and spy ware based they are, I got rid of them..plenty of other choices out there that do the same thing..

Moto Alexa APK

Hi!
I bought my Z3 from BHPhoto in the US and I got the Alexa speaker mod free, which is great, however I can't use it to the fullest because the Moto Alexa app isn't available here in Canada.
I can only find older versions, which work fine with my old Z2 Play, but just crash constantly with the Z3 ...
Does anybody by any chance know where I can get the latest version?
Alexa.?.

Yeah, it's pretty silly, but the mod does still work as a very good speaker at least.
I'm sure they'll get around to translating the app to Canadian soon... :silly:
Just change your location with a VPN to America and it should work fine
Tunnel Bear to the US didn't work, it still tells me it is not available in my country. Anyone find a work around yet?

Glitches on GPU Turbo ??

anyone got blue glitches on pubg after update firmware with gpu turbo?
Thank you. I thought i was the only one! It happened to me after the last pubg update.
I think its a bug from the gpu turbo... Other games are fine such as mobile legends, asphalt 9 etc...
using a p20 pro i also got the same problem.
---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------
my pr20 pro also have the same problem
Have it too!
Do you guys know how to disable GPU Turbo?
Emailed Huawei support and here is their reply
Thank you for reaching Huawei. We are sorry to hear about the issue you are facing, rest assured we will do our best to assist you.
Kindly be advised that since troubleshooting is done, and the issue persist, we would recommend you contact the application developer to investigate and release an update to resolve the issue. Please update your application to the latest version once available.
Sucks... Looks like hey blamin PUBG lol
Update
Enquiry: SR220180918075329914: Regarding your graphics and app display.
Thank you for reaching Huawei. We understand where you are coming from, allow us to explain further.
Since these apps are developed by third party app developers, we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility with the device. Hence, we request to message the app developers in order for them to update their version and to match the phone.
Damn...
Updated, now let's see if it works...
Sent from my HUAWEI ALP-L29 using XDA Labs
Just got the update as well.. Funny how Huawei's email is pointing to PUBGM.
Will try it now
I don't think it's a gpu turbo problem. I was playing just fine before the last update. I reported the issue to them. Maybe you should do the same. Maybe if there are many reports they will do sth to fix the game.
I don't get update from huawei using a p20 pro
Tried the update. Already working fine now.

I was playing fine after GPU Turbo update and before PUBG Sanhok update, if I'm not mistaken. I tried some Fortnite clone today and it worked fine too. Seems like the problem is with the PUBG itself. I emailed them my screenshots and they replied with some generic stuff about how they were already doing something about that.
Don't know who is really to blame as teams on both ends are obliged to provide normal performance of their software. Also would be nice to disable that GPU Turbo, without bootloader unlock codes I can't even rollback to previous update.
Damn, I just want to play PUBG.
I have no update notification just yet ?... Really wanna play PUBG so damn much!!
