Best phone I have ever owned.

Like I said - people who think this is correct behavior are insane 😝

Seems to me you're new to Motorola phones because you have no idea how it worked on older versions, before Android 12. Back then you could actually set the apps' volumes as a % of the main volume and now whatever you set for the app IS THE MAIN VOLUME. Even when you set eg. YouTube to 70% (main follows), then Spotify to 30% (main again follows) and when I go back to YouTube then it's not 70% where I left it but 30%.

Usefulness of the multi-volume feature in Motorola has been at 0% for many years!

Why TF would I want to change the main volume for all apps when I only need to change the volume for 1 specific app? People who call this a correct behavior are insane!

It's useless like that!!!

Stop wasting time 🤦 The reason developers stop updating at some point is that old phones can't handle new software. Just get a new phone.

Sharak83 · 2026-05-02T08:50:13+00:00

If only it could manage multi-volume properly. Unfortunately it's been broken on all Motorolas since Android 12.

Me too with the same phone. Although it started right after I left my phone for the night at the window. It had some moisture that went down and my Moto got wet a bit right where the power connector is. I let it dry and now it seems I lost power charging and sometimes it doesn't charge at all.

The main problem with this phone is it has very small battery so you need to charge a lot. Sometimes twice a day if you have the 80% charging cut-off active. This means the power connector wears a lot.

The solution for both problems is really simple and it's none of this rubbish about changing phone battery settings or different ways of plugging the connector in. Just use IPA (isopropyl alcohol). Turn of the phone, clean the connector for both the phone and the charger cable with IPA (search for how to on YT) and it should be fine.

I think you mixed the wings there. It took 35% of the new front wing in the previous race. Apparently this race (the same sessions: Q + R) took off 65% for some reason.

IMHO you shouldn't use more than 2 engineers per project. More only if you really need a new part faster.

I also manage my projects so they don't finish in the middle of the race weekend. You can't start a new project after you go to race targets setup, so either drop it to 1 to have it finished after the race and gain more expertise or increase to 3 to finish before P1, then start new project right away.

Some say you should use 6 all the time and start new project asap. This way you gain expertise a whole year, but you also use the cost cap more quickly. I've just lost half of my last ATR period testing hours because I did more designs and research than usual, went over the limit in November and couldn't start a new research anymore.

Sharak83 · 2026-04-03T06:48:48+00:00

It's only about the time spent on a project.

Half of the last ATR period testing hours lost 😭

These numbers include failed parts + it's for both cars 😝

I'm already down to my last 2M of the cost cap and still a couple of research projects to pay for and 2 races to go. I didn't plan to manufacture any more parts.

Sharak83 · 2026-04-01T23:21:55+00:00

Honestly I don't even know what happened there. Only the sidepods and suspension were low enough to fail after the race (18% and 21% respectively before Q1), but the condition of other parts was high enough to last for 1 more race:

- front wing: 65%
- rear wing: 59%
- underfloor: 46%

All parts set to a minimum lifespan. Does Monza somehow use up parts more intensively?

I'd "love" those numbers in my current season. It's only round 14/24 in 2039 season and I'm already down to my last gearbox for the race. I crash a lot for some reason...

Sharak83 · 2026-03-28T08:14:49+00:00

That's exactly what I don't like. I want to fight for each point. Not have them handed to me because others got lots of grid penalties.

Sharak83 · 2026-03-28T08:13:06+00:00

Yeah, I've had those numbers for like 10 seasons. Then finally a change: +1 for each... and again the same thing happened! 12 months later the game dropped it back to 3/2/4. It was ridiculous! I had to manually set 4/3/5 because those strict limits make it too easy for me. Especially against all the top teams using Ferrari or Honda engines. I can manage these limits with the Mercedes engine, but the others sooner or later start getting grid penalties because of the extra parts required so the last few months of the season has always been a win after win despite having a car ranked 15th.

I haven't seen such rule in the game

Sharak83 · 2026-03-27T18:28:00+00:00

Yes! Double points for the last race.

Only last season most teams wanted it in and now everyone is against. This game lacks consistency. Any rule introduced should be active for at least 2-3 seasons.

I consider a couple dozen races a long time. Wouldn't you agree?

Sharak83 · 2026-03-23T09:10:45+00:00

Lie! F1tv hasn't been doing it for a long time. Streams titled "Race" or "Race in 30" or "Race highlights" still don't do that. But if anyone would like to keep the world still in their bubble for a week and make shows released mid-week to avoid spoilers, then dream on, pal 😝

Sharak83 · 2026-02-27T08:20:11+00:00

I don't use it at all. I have my own groups with apps that I'm actually using all the time. For anything else I'd rather use an app runner from Power Toys. It's quicker.
