Download Verizon Moto Z4 Android 10 Update: QDF30.130-42-5-17

What’s changing:

The current software update gives you the most up to date Android security patches on your device.

Android 10 OS Upgrade

Volume controls: Adjust any app’s volume without leaving the screen you’re on. After you press a Volume button and touch the screen icon, all volume sliders appear on the screen.

System-Wide Dark Mode: The new system-wide dark mode allows you to use the Dark theme all the time.

Navigation Gestures: Moving between apps and screens is even easier with new gestures:

• Go home – Swipe up from the bottom of your screen to go to your home screen.
• Go back – Swipe towards the middle from the left or right edge to go back to the last screen.
• Switch between recent apps – Swipe up from the bottom of your screen, hold, then release. While using an app, you can also swipe the bar at the bottom of the screen left or right to switch between apps.

The icons and gestures from previous Android versions are still available.

Peeking: For some apps, you can open the sidebar with a gesture. Touch and hold your finger on the very edge of your screen for a second, until you see the bar peeking in from the side, then swipe to open the sidebar.

Notification improvements: Automatically organize and minimize distractions, with improved notification management:

• Get the notifications that matter most. You can mark notifications as Silent or Alerting. Silent notifications won’t make a noise or appear on your lock screen, so you can focus on what needs your attention. They are grouped together and you can dismiss them individually or as a group.
• All notifications now include suggested actions. For example, if a friend sends an address, you’ll see a suggestion to open the address in Maps.
• Android 10 uses on-device machine learning to predict what you’ll type next and suggest responses that are tailored to the messages you receive. In addition to Google messaging apps, this works with notifications from non-Google apps, including WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
• Notification snoozing is optional but disabled by default.
• Music notifications have a progress bar.

Easy Wi-Fi connection with QR codes: To connect to a new Wi-Fi network, you can now scan a QR code instead of typing the password. You can also help others connect to a network you’re on by sharing a QR code.

To share your hotspot, your phone can generate a QR code your friends can scan to connect instantly. No need to give them your phone’s hotspot name and password (but you can still use that method, too).

Security enhancements: View a small snippet of data within an app without actually opening it.

Privacy

• Settings now includes a Privacy menu, with more permissions to preserve privacy. Easily see and adjust which apps have access to your phone data and features, like which apps can use the camera or microphone.
• Better controls for file management allow you to restrict access to tracking identifiers, such as IMEI, serial number, and other IDs.

Location

• Settings now includes a Location menu, with better control over location data and sharing.
• When apps request permission to use your location, you’ll see a pop-up which lets you control when the app accesses your location (never, only when app is open, or always).
• If you’ve set an app to always be able to access your location, you’ll see a pop-up when it accesses your location in the background.

Project Mainline: Works in the background to provide faster security updates through Play Store.

Other improvements:

• App info page: View the number of notifications an app sends and the amount of mobile data and Wi-Fi it uses. You can also open the app from the info page.
• Bluetooth: For convenience, you can now access previously-connected Bluetooth devices right on the main Connected devices screen.
• Display settings: Sleep is now Screen timeout.
• Power button menu: Now includes an Emergency option that opens your emergency information.
• Share options: When you touch to share content, the options load instantly and recommend frequently used apps and recipients. Better security allows you to choose files to share, without sharing all files.
