[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piyush Pastor:
Not too bad

The Nexus 5 boasts a 4.95-inch 1920×1080

display (445 ppi) while the Moto G comes with

a 4.5-inch 1280×720 (329 ppi) screen. Not

only smaller, the Motorola screen is also a

lower resolution and pixel per inch count. Not

that this is perceptible to most users, but’s a

difference on paper. What’s more, the added

benefit of the lower resolution comes in

battery life and performance. In other words,

it’s less demanding of the phone to power

those pixels.

Any way N5 is better at every single aspect than the moto G but being said thats its cheaper and its resolution is also not too bad so It would be a better option if you have a low budget.........

Nexus 5 =Excellent

Moto G =Very good

Hit thanks if helped....
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shure2:
Until I get a moto g I won't be able to honestly comment but in he reviews I've read the colour reproduction is supposed to be better than the N5.

I have perfect vision and comparing a 329ppi and and 445ppi would be so minute that 99% of people wouldn't be able to tell the difference
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
I have both a Nexus 5 and a Moto G with me at the moment.

Yes the Nexus 5 screen is better (hardly surprising) but the Moto G is still very good, especially when you take into account it's pricetag.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shikhar623:
Hi Rusty. I want to know abt the Camera Quality of Moto G. is that comparable to as that of Nexus 4's? I know that N4's cam is 8MP as compared to MotoG's just 5MP. But its not always about the Pixel count. I have seen some sample shots of MotoG and they look quite promising.

Regards,

Shikhar
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
Had N5 too, Moto G screen is better in colors and viewing angles. Even the black is more black on Moto G, and not "grey" as with Nexus 5.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
No not really, the shots I've taken with the G are not as good as the Nexus 4/5. That could just be me though.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoltActionWaffle:
They use different display Technologies

N5=IPS

Moto G=AMOLED

IPS has more Accurate colours, "USUALLY" has better viewing angles, MUCH higher max brightness (nits)

AMOLED has oversaturated colours causing the colours to "Pop", Much Deeper blacks because the Pixels aren't On unlike IPS and because of that it tends to have slightly better battery life
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavafire:
Pretty sure Moto G uses IPS as well, it was mentioned in all the tech news I read. There is a possibility that they could be wrong, but I think they out number you before proven otherwise :p
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
Moto X uses AMOLED, Moto G and Nexus 5 have both IPS LCD and believe me, Nexus 5 is way more worse in viewing angles than Moto G.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chonghua:
[MENTION=5530044]BoltActionWaffle[/MENTION], Research when you have time. Moto G has an IPS like panel and LCD screen. If you say, Amoled then you're referring to Moto X.. okay?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levizx:
N5 has the worse screen?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Only if viewing angles are all you care about.

Most people don't use their phone at 60°, though.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
I do care, yes, because I see this every day when the Phone lies next to me on the desk.

You don't even need 60°, don't try to troll me :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shure2:
I don't know what all the fuss about viewing angles is, personally I look at my phone head on
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
I don't think we should discuss here, if, why and when something is useful/stupid or not - the OP clearly asked a question: "How is the screen quality compared to for example a Nexus 5" and so we should answer this :)

Sorry for the people who own a more expensive phone with lack of screen quality compared to a budget phone, and this implies color, black point and viewing angles, but reality is sometimes hard to take.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoltActionWaffle:
Oh shoot, Sorry I was thinking about the Moto X. :/

Sorry, I got confused with the Moto X. :/
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kohloe:
The Moto G screen is alright. Compared it right to my Nexus 5 and couldnt make out a large difference. Both are IPS as mentioned before. Although the black is darker on AMOLED, I prefer the colortone of IPS panels.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikey68:
This is the best screen I have had. It seems way sharper and colourful than my friends s4. I actually had n5, i5, s4 and MG out together and the mg looked best. It wasn't just price that blinded me, it was clarity. As for Camera, it takes much better pics than my old DHD and nexS.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Yeah that's what I was getting at :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavafire:
Had moto g for nearly 24 hours, I am just going to say the resolution of 326 ppi is perfect. There are enough pixels, so images look crisp but fewer than other flag ship phones with 400+ ppi, so it drains less power. :laugh::good::D
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billy Madison:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgorveatt:
I love the display but I'm coming from an old iPhone 4. The size is awesome in my opinion. It's bright, crisp and colors look great to me. The darks are also really impressive, I think they're better than the darks on the nexus 5.

I still can't get over how good this phone is for the price. Other than the camera it is sweet.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matttis:
I really love this screen! The size is perfect for me (I wanted something between 4 and 5 inches) and 720p is more than enough for a 4.5 inch display.

The colors are great, the whites actually look white, brightness and contrast are nice as well.

Plus the display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3! So if anything the display and the glass are the phone's strongest feature, especially at this price point.

Moto G Screen

I agree with most users in this thread the screen is absolutely amazing. Its definitely the strongest component on Moto G

Nice screen but diagonally the screen looks ****e.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
Then you haven't seen the Nexus 5 screen... :D Far worse than Moto's
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoneofgod:
Not sure how it can get any worse. Diagonally a black screen is a very bright (almost white) washed out image.

Then your device is not ok.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mr.lysgaard:
This mobile was shipped with Android 4.2.2, if I have understood things correctly I should NOT update this to Android 4.3 because of the new ''samsung security thing, KNOX or something)?

I should just rot, install recovery and flash 4.3 roms? Not upgrading first?
[Galaxy S 4 General] RossFixxed:
Up to you, but some 4.2.2 versions have KNOX bootloader so let us know your software version to see if you already have it. You can update and void knox if you don't care about using it or the warranty implications, which are unclear at best at the moment.

I rooted 4.2.2 with knox and installed a Google Edition ROM no hassle, working great, not looking back. I don't want knox, and I don't care about the warranty though!
[Galaxy S 4 General] mr.lysgaard:
Android 4.2.2

Baseband i9505XXUBMGA

[Galaxy S 4 General] RossFixxed:
Looks like that was the last Knox-free version! Open in download mode (volume up and power and home) just to be sure there is no Knox 0x0 in there, but afaik you're lucky and don't have it!
[Galaxy S 4 General] mr.lysgaard:
Thank you, doesnt say anything about knox...
[Galaxy S 4 General] RossFixxed:
Lucky you! :) Keep it that way I reckon, there are knox free roms. I'm a bit jealous. Once I rooted all I got was that damn security warning popping up all the time. Android is starting to converge with iOS as time goes by. The OEMs should not be allowed this kind of control, and the network carriers should be given a choice: sell the device as is, or don't.

Google kowtowing all the time is sickening and then the OEM/network clamp down more and more on the dev community.

Hi,

I did go there (sober now) but only saw the default options. In rings, I see my custom tones, but for messages, I don't.

Do they have to be put into a particular folder on the device?

Joe
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rottie:
just copy them into the windows folder. If the file format is ok, you'll be able to choose them as a message signal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
Many thanks, putting into the \windows folder did the trick.

Just my hangover to deal with now..... :?

It will only work in .wav format....are they .mp3 you are putting in the windows folder?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
They were wavs, just not in the right folder.

Interstingly though, only certain types of wav format play on the device.

Some smaller sized wav formats demanded by P910 type symbians won't play on WM.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:
Hi,

I've trawled the forum and I've followed all the TomTom setup procedures. The Problem is they seem to be for people who can't get TomTom working at all. I can get it working, just awkwardly.

Once I pair with my GPS receiver and go into TomTom i can get a connection. However when i quit TomTom and turn off the GPS it seems to forget. Next time I turn it on I don't get a connection.

The way I understand TomTom is that it seems to wait for the GPS receiver to contact the phone. This seems odd as I would have thought the phone would be the one to initiate contact.

Anyway my GPS receiver just seems to forget what phone it was connected to. TomTom obviously isn't forgetting the port, windows obviously isn't forgetting the pairing. But Every time I use it I have to re-pair the receiver (thus reminding the receiver of the phone it's supposed to be bonded to). It's beginning to drive me a bit insane.

Anyone else have this issue? Perhaps it's to do with my incoming and outcoming ports? Hopefully someone has already solved this? Not seen any references to it anywhere.

Lewis
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tig:
Hello,

Which version of Tomtom are you using ? The last one (5.21) ? If not, try to upgrade and try again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:
Yep 5.2 latest release.

I was hoping upgrade would fix it but alas no.

Lewis
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dox:
Don't mean to be picky, but 5.2 or 5.21?

I've held off installing TTN on my Wizard, as it works fine on my iPAQ 4700, I have a cradle for that, and according to ttcode, my current device is actually my old 3970, not the current iPAQ... Last week, I had a couple of hour drive to do, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. After an email exchange with TomTom support (who were more helpful than I'd originally given them credit for), I had a new activation code for the Wizard. Here's what I did, from a fairly recent hard reset with no previous TTN install whatsoever. Skip the mail if it doesn't look helpful, but I'll detail my steps in case it helps anyone else...

Although I believe the PC install is mended in 5.21 I copied the map and voice cab files from the CD to my SD card and installed them from there. The GPS drivers and main app I installed from the download I got from the TomTom support site by running the setup util on my PC. Once everything was installed, I moved the maps which seemed to finish up in a sub-directory on the card to the root of the card.

I paired the GPS (my old Emtac BT one) and selected serial port profile. I tried all the offered serial ports in the "Other BT GPS" list in TTN but none worked. Then I went to 'COM Ports' in Comm Manager/Bluetooth Settings and selected "New Outgoing Port". I picked the GPS from the list of paired SPP devices, and it created a new BT COM port on COM6. That definately hadn't been in TTN's list of BT com ports before, but is now there in the list with about half a dozen others. I selected that in the "Other BT GPS" list of BT ports, and TTN connects to the GPS each time.

As I said, I'd recently hard reset the device to try and prove a problem with my BT car-kit soit's quite possible the clean install was the secret, but try creating a new outgoing COM port against the GPS and see if TT remembers that...

Dox
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Beeble:
Which?

There are 2 general ways to set it up, 1 works 100% (i use it so know it does :) ) 1 i dont use and have never tried so may well work in the reverse direction and be causing you errors.

The way i set up tomtom; pair the BT GPS. Open an OUTGOING port to the BT GPS, set my GPS as OTHER (wired/cable) NEMA device (NOT bluetooth) in TTN5. now my tomtom connects to the bluetooth, not the otherway round. This method has thrown up no errors for me at all.

If you have followed the reg edit/hack to show the GPS page in connections then i dont know how the settings differ and the possible results this could have on connection issues.

Let us know which way you are going
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] toneslee:
I have the exact problem as BigDamHero. Each time I wanna use TTN, I need to delete the previously paired BT GPS and then pair it again, otherwise the TTN will just say No GPS Device. I use TTN v5.21 and Wizard with Windows Mobile 5. I tried my BT GPS device on my brother's PDA which runs on Windows Mobile 3, and it connects like a gem every time. I am also looking if anyone has solved this issue, cos it is tedious re-pairing every time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kilrah:
Had the same problem until 5 mins ago! Found an explanation in another thread, but only in Dutch..

Here's how to do it:

Turn on GPS

Activate bluetooth on device, go to BT parameters, delete previous pairing like you're used to ;)

Create new pairing, choose GPS, enter passkey, check Serial port in services, go to COM ports and add outgoing port (e.g. COM6) like you're still used to :roll:

Add an incoming port too (e.g. COM7) <-- Here's the trick!

Set your GPS apps to use COM6 (the outgoing one)... and here you are! This time it will work, you can turn off GPS and device bluetooth, turn on again and it will connect by itself.

If you want a bit more you can activate GPS panel, set program port to COM8 (then you will have to use this in your apps) and COM6 as hardware port.

Everything works fine now!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] toneslee:
hey man, wot a coincidence....i also just read that post which had the dutch explanation.....BUT however, it's not working for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dox:
I did everything in the list except for creating the incoming port and it still works everytime (I know that's no consellation to you). I wonder if something else you've installed, or the way you installed the app is causing the problem? Is it worth a hard reset and trying the entire install on a clean wizard?

Dox
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kilrah:
A friend didn't need the incoming port either. I believe it has something to do with the GPS, as he has a different brand than me.

With mine, before adding the incoming port if I started an app without erasing/redoing the pairing before I would get a notification saying "Navman GPS wants to connect" and asking me to pair. It would keep coming every 10 seconds whatever I did.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dox:
BigDamHero, what brand / model of GPS is it?

Maybe we can see if anybody here, or over on pocketgpsworld has been able to make the same combination work and if so, what they had to do to get it to fly...

Dox.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] toneslee:
well, tomtom was the very first thing I installed when I got my new vario. it was only after I got tomtom fully working (but still need to re-pair everytime), then I installed a couple of simple Card games.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dox:
A quick glance at pocketgps suggests others are having similar issues. There's a thread here that suggests leaving it a while, and I seem to remember other GPS issue threads saying power up the GPS and let it get a fix before starting TTN. A more detailed probe round the forum will probably show more of the same.

Dox
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Merlin_the_mog:
I've just flashed my Qtek 9100 to a new ROM, (the O2 one), and since then I've been getting this same problem. With my previous ROM everything worked fine. I was able to turn of either my PDA or GPS, and they would always auto-reconnect in a few seconds. Looks to me like something broke during one of the ROM changes. Which ROM versions does everyone with/without this problem have?

By the way, I have a BT77 GPS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:
Hey sorry for the total lack of reply. Been snowed under with exams.

Ok I tried most of what you guys said but didn`t work. BT ports aren't available to select as hardware ports.

However I have managed to solve it. The key was to pair the GPS, and create an UNENCRYPTED OUTGOING port. That's all. Previously I had encrypted ports outgoing and incoming. My GPS applet in control pannel is set to none so it,s nothing to do with that.

I don't know what my GPS is. Its unbranded. One of the cheap common ones.

Hope this helps some people with the same problem.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] gaofi:
Well, there are pros and cons.

I'm rather unhappy with the basic telephony subsystem :

- no automatic redial

- no callers groups

- ringtones are erraticly working (I use a basic 16 track midi file) especially whith the lid closed

- the hang off is slow, even with the hardware buttons

- the phone starts to wake up at the third ring, so if you're not fast enough, your caller gets directed to the voice message box.

On the other hand, I'm VERY pleased to be able to use softwares on my phone, on one my favorites beeing "smartfilter pro", which allows me to filter callees based on various criterias - an UNVALUABLE pro if you work in my field, when people don't bother waking you up in the middle of the night, or bothering you during lunch.

Truly, this was a feature I always dreamt of.

Other things terribly missing on this phone :

- a real alarm system (my T610 was better)

- chronometer, countdown, time sync.

- better sound handling

I know this has been a long and old habit for MS to deliver its OS with only crap utilities, but beeing acustomished with more "polished" quality on my previous devices (T610, Samsung SGH, Clié, Palm Vx), I'd expected a higher quality level with my Universal.

Plus.... it's big and heavy !
