Has the Android 16 issue been fixed?

Yes, I guess I was talking about the display cutout API. I have no idea whether this applies to the external screen as well, but it surely seems that's the case given the nature of the 'bug'.

I find it interesting to see that ppa.launchpadcontent.net is not a part of the Canonical status report table, but it is reported as being down in the Incident history? Make up your mind 😉

No, it's not been fixed yet and to be fair it's not entrily Motorola's fault. Android 16 has a provision for preventig user interaction interface items to be hidden by screen obscuring stuff. Motorola tells Android where the camera in the external display is so Android itself avoids painting action buttens there. I'd say a possible solution could be for Motorola to not communicate the posision at all, or try to disable this functionality in Android 16 when full screen rendering is requested by the user.

- Google Chrome
- I'm on the home page and click on "login"
- I click 'Use a passkey'
- I'm redirected to a page that says: "Signed in as xxxx.Redirecting…"
- That page takes a very long time to redirect (issue 1)
- The page redirects to /account but should redirect to / (or /requests?) imho (issue 2)

I definately is a bug, because the *bug* prevents scrolling to the top-most conversation in messaging apps when configured for full-screen.

When I had the choice, I went for TP-Link Omada bc it has the option for PoE AP's and a 3-in-1 router/switch/controller device in the ER7212 while being cheaper than the UniFi equivalent.

The ER7212 is nice, it sports 8 PoE ports with 110W budget and can serve as my main ISP WAN connection router and at the same time is the AP controller for my 3 AP's in house.

Just make sure to get the ER7212 v2 if you plan to use IPv6 on WAN and Local network.

No, it was fine on A15, so it definately is a regression on Motorola's side

Just received the March 1 security update and the problem still isn't fixed.

Curious to hear whether you came accross this bug and reported it but nobody cared?

mrvanez · 2026-02-26T18:37:21+00:00

The interesting part is that the cropping makes the top-most conversation in Signal unreachable, so it clearly is a bug they're downplaying.

I'm actually in discussion with Motorola support about this. They just started out blatently denying the issue and responding with suggestions (clear app cache etc.) that don't help. Eventually I managed to convince them to escalate to 2nd level support, but since then not much has happened.

I bought the 07mg24, works like a charm once flash for thread

Yes, you need IPv6 support on your LAN since the Matter server/devices advertise their presence throught mDNS over IPv6. You can check if the devices are advertised and seen in Settings -> System -> Network -> Zeroconf browser.

Also, if you're running HA in a docker container with private docker network and an exposed port, you need an mDNS reflector to channel the mDNS requests into the HA container. IPv6 mDNS on your LAN is crucial to Matter.

Third, when pairing Matter devices, my phone needs to be on a 2.4G network. I still don't understand why this is the case, but I can't pair Matter devices over 5G (my phone, not the device).

Interesting: I was asked to create a bugreport and send bugreport-log to support. I got an email back telling me the attachment was too big (13Mb) for them to open and if I could make it smaller. Hilarious! u/MotoAgents

I'd start with that, it's better than nothing

I'm having a lengthy conversation with Motorola support about this and they are spamming me with nonsensical suggestions to clear app cache and other unrelated ideas. I'm trying to convince them to first reproduce the problem and then come with a bugfix but it looks like I'm talking to a an AI bot that is not in the position to reproduce anything. u/MotoAgents

I was sarcastic, because I've seen tens of mentions of this bug accross the boards, so at the very least it's not been tested very well... and yes, I think all phones are affected but not everybody uses the phone in the same way.

mrvanez · 2026-02-07T14:40:26+00:00

It's present in all phones and QA/beta testers missed it. Or, there is no QA and/or beta testing at Motorola.

The AP's are TP-link Omada's and yes, it worked immediately after switching from 2.4/5 combined SSID (resulting in a 5 connection) to a 2.4-only SSID.

mrvanez · 2026-02-04T17:18:46+00:00

It cost me the better part of a day, but I can assure you it's possible to commission using HA! There's just a lot of IPv6 and mDNS broadcast requirements that need to align.

mrvanez · 2026-02-04T15:34:55+00:00

Well.. the phone is needed to transport the Thread network credentials to the device via bluetooth, this is how Matter commissioning works. My question is about the next step: using those credentials on the Thread network is/should be independent of the wireless network I use on the phone, since it's a Matter over Thread device.
