      Is it the stock camera app, or a third-party camera app?

      Anyway, you can reset the app. Tap and hold the camera app icon (not to open the app), tap the “i” icon in the context menu, tap Storage and cache, then tap Clear storage, and clear cache. Now, open the app again.

      The front camera on Moto G9 does NOT support slow motion. It can only capture videos at 30fps.

      But it does support full HD (1080p). You can record a video and check the details.

    After upgrading my Moto g2 to Android 6.0 from lollypop, I’m unable to use 3G data. Only 2G data is recognised by my phone. Tried by removing the sim card and inserting again, restarted and put airplane mode but without success.

      Anyway, if the phone cannot make any sound, you probably have to backup the phone and try a factory reset, or visit the local service center.

          Also, after factory reset, you need use your Google account to re-activate the phone. This is a security feature since Lollipop 5.1.

          Thank you for sharing the update. You should avoid such apps.

          Anyway, system update should not change your lock screen security. But apps, may do anything. This is the reason why you should only install apps you knows, and from reliable sources.

          Android update cannot be reverted. You have to visit the service center if you need old version of Android. They may help you flash the version you want.

          For RAM usage, you can reboot the phone to see whether it helps.

      Please be patient. You need wait it till finishes. After each reboot, you have to start the optimizing apps procedure, no exceptions.

      As mentioned in other replies, this is due to apps that are not updated for long time. You may consider to uninstall apps that you are not using any more.

    Have tried to download Device Manager without success. When trying to open file ‘Unspecified problem’ notified.
    Initially Moto G was recognised and I could transfer files. However, on second attempt to transfer files, Moto not recognised. Have tried several un-/re-installs, but no luck. My PC is 64-bit, could it be that download is 32-bit and causing problem? If so, how do I obtain correct software? If not, any thoughts?

      Motorola device manager works with both 32bit and 64bit machines. It is not necessary to re-install several times. What you really need is the USB driver.

      After connecting Moto G to the PC, you should check the notifications on the phone. You need also check device manager on the PC if Moto G is not recognized.

      After getting Marshmallow update, the bottom left should be Google Now voice icon, not phone. You can swipe up to unlock the phone. If lock screen security is not swipe, you can tap the emergency button below the keypad to make b emergency calls. The phone icon in the lock screen on lollipop is for emergency calls only ( you need define ICE group in contacts app). You cannot use it for other calls.

      Google Now launch doesn’t allow you to customize the lock screen. If you really want to change it, you can try third party launchers. Some lock screen apps may also have this feature.

      Is the wifi off in settings – WiFi? What’s the icon for WiFi in quick settings panel?

          If you turn WiFi on (drag the switch to right side), does it turn off automatically (go back to left)? Or you just cannot get connected?

          Then you may have to backup the phone, then try a factory data reset.

      It could be just caused by interrupted connection to Google servers. You can try again later.

      Voicemail is managed by your carrier (phone company), not your phone. You need check with them to modify the password for voicemail box.

      It’s part of the Google Now launcher. If you don’t like it, you can use any other third party launchers.

      it is better to check with your phone company on how to divert calls. In this case, the calls are diverted when your phone is off.

      if you really want to do this on your phone, you can open Phone app, switch to call history, tap menu key (3 vertical dots) in top right, tap settings, tap call settings–, tap call forwarding.

      An update should not delete you photos. But if you reset (factory data reset) the phone, all your files in the internal storage will be removed.

      Can you find the Gallery app?

      All you photos should saved in DCIM/camera folder (both internal storage and SD card should have this folder). You can check the files on PC or with a file explorer (e.g., ES File Explorer)
