Anyhow, putting in my headphones doesn't work, might still be a bug?

Otherwise the experience is very interesting. Will report on battery life, although I didn't put in a sim yet. Gotta get a nanosim first...

EDIT: battery life is incredible, and the headphones are hardware, not software related.

Can confirm that dual sim works perfectly too.

Battery life should be awesome considering the Moto Z Play has a 3510 ma/hr battery.

With Android on my Moto Z Play I can hold the phone sideways and shake it twice to turn on the flashlight (torch) then shake it twice again to turn off the flashlight.
Is this a function of the phone and is supported in Android? Will this work with Sailfish? If not, then how easy or difficult would it be to add this function to Sailfish?

This is a Moto special feature an done in Software.
You can configure the gesture action in the Moto App or Settings. (sorry, no phone here to check).
As i am using the phone for photos mostly the "twist twice" gesture to start camera comes quite handy also.

I have a bug, one that might be very expensive to debug! While on the Thalys, my playing music stutters as we go 300km/h...

It gets better when I'm actually doing something on the phone, but when I turn off the screen, it usually stutters. Only on the Thalys though, didn't experience it anywhere else -- yet.

The other day I plugged in a USB cable to my Moto Z Play and the file manager on my desktop PC was blank. I am assuming the phone is encrypted.
If it is encrypted then how do I disable the encryption?
The phone came with Android 6 and with the updates now has Android 7.11

Tried to flash the zip today, but twrp gives me an error message saying "this is for moto z play addison. Your phone is.. "
Well, I'm on addison with patched decrypted stock 7.1.1. and have no clue at the moment how to get further on without massive fiddling around

I have a question:

Will this work with Moto Z (no play )?

Not yet due to different SoC mainly.
But if you want (to) help go to freenode IRC #sailfish-porters.
Even if you do not know how to port yourself but are really desperate, it may be an option to offer SSH access to your location/device.
Maybe someone is looking for a fun hacking time

MisterMagister was quite verbose on moto porting ambitions, maybe ask him?
