Are custom launchers worth it?

I recently switched to Motorola and it definitely has a bunch of features that I really like. HelloUI is better than I expected, with little customization, but very good options like the icon shapes and system colors. However, there's a few things that are really bugging me.

  • First off, the bar on top doesn't show when headphones are plugged in. It's a very small detail, but pretty useful when testing old headphones or if the jack ever starts to malfunction.

  • No option for "infinite scrolling" and no "app tray" button option. I would like to be able to use a button to open the app tray instead of needing the swipe gesture, and to go through the home screen and app menu horizontally while returning to the first screen after the end.

  • The accessibility button placement. Already love this little guy, really comes in handy for many things, but it's bugging the hell out of me that there's no way to place the navigation buttons equidistant from each other. Why can't the other 3 buttons just move a little to the left to accommodate for the fourth one? It looks terrible.

I don't know if a custom launcher like Nova can fix all of this, but for those who have tried one, are there any cons like reduced performance and battery drainage? And do you think it's worth it?

Removing ads and spam from Motorola Edge 50 Neo

I bought my mum an Edge 50 Neo almost a year ago thinking it'd be a decent basic phone. I recently looked at her phone and noticed all this spam! There are even ads on her lock screen.

My mum isn't tech savvy and her eyesight isn't the best so I don't want her seeing and clicking things she shouldn't. Could anyone let me know what things I should clear from her phone/what settings I should adjust?

(I saw that the lock screen ads are from an app called Live Lock Screen that I can't remove and even when I disable it, it keeps coming back..)

Thanks, Moto... I guess?

Seeing some people posting zoom photos from the Edge 50 Neo here made me open the camera and photograph the moon early this morning, just to see what would come up.

First photo is when "Natural" style, while the second was with "Enhanced".
I just had to laugh when I looked at the results. Enhanced painted the Moon yellow was one would "expect" from a Moon photo... at night.

Unknown audio playing out of nowhere

Hi everyone,

Recently an issue has begun where my phone will start playing a random video's audio, and the only thing that will stop it is restarting. Even if I close all open apps, press "clear all," the audio won't stop.

It's very, very annoying to have to restart my phone just to stop something from playing. I'm not 100% sure which app it could be, but I'm sure it's audios from my own personal videos based on what I can hear.

I'm also worried that one day, something might play that I don't want people to hear, like where I'm saying something personal, etc. And in general, it's very awkward to just have my phone start emitting sounds out of nowhere in certain situations.

I would greatly appreciate some help🥹

Moto g power 2026 Prepaid Phone setup Help?

Please help me if you can. I went to Walmart and purchased this Moto g power 2026 at&t prepaid phone to replace my old at&t prepaid phone, I already have a phone plan. My phone plan is call and text only, with no internet access as crazy as it sounds. The Walmart employee told me that all I needed to do in order to get this new prepaid phone to work is to simply insert my old sim card in to this new prepaid phone and it should work that easy. Well I did that and it doesn't work. Is there anything else that I should try to get the phone working? Thanks for your help.
