So this will get fixed with 4.4.2 update?

Can you link me to any article/FAQ where this is stated as a known bug, Just so tht i can close my other thread regarding this issue , thanks!
[Moto G General] sihag:
Can anybody tell where they are facing volume issues? Like in call or music or radio? I don't have any such issue nowhere.
[Moto G General] tejajuloori:
on android 4.3 while playing music if volume is reduced to around 40-50% the speaker output becomes almost inaudible.
[Moto G General] sihag:
Try some other music app. Had this problem first day but after factory reset it was not noticed again. Google play music app sucks.
[Moto G General] tejajuloori:
occurs while setting up ringtones too, is not related to play music app
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
I read about it in a old thread .....something about logarithmic volume increase to make sure music is of proper quality at all volumes..Just sideload the kitkat version...it won't void ur warranty or need a unlocked bootloader

[Moto G General] tejajuloori:
there is no such issue with 4.4.2 then?

if there is fix in 4.4.2, its all good then, thanks!
[Moto G General] sihag:
Perhaps new lot of devices theory is right. But still try factory reset. Take backup of existing device with Helium backup and than copy the carbon folder in the device to external drive and than factory reset it. Untick app data only in helium.

You can take backup of updated system apps by myphoneexplorer client, but it needs a PC.
[Moto G General] ankur.walia:
i noticed it while playing games..and i have not done factory reset..should i do it?
[Moto G General] pr.itdude:
Its a problem (or don't know if a feature) with the phone itself and not any app. The volume is very good (read loud) at full volume but very low at 50%.

I think, kitkat update would overcome this.

Btw, can anyone tell me a good app/pc suite to take backup of the device before factory reset or format?
[Moto G General] sahilisburman:
Factory reset won't do anything. I have tried it 2 times already.

Phone not sleeping

Hi Everyone,

I've had my Moto G for several days, and for some reason, the phone doesn't go into sleep mode. Once I put the phone down, it just remains on that screen forever. I have tried adjusting the sleep timings ( I tried various timings, from 15 seconds up to 5 minutes). This is draining my battery. Is anyone else having this problem?

Also, how much time do we have to complain to Flipkart and request a replacement phone?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Moto G General] adidas007:
30 days.
[Moto G General] pratik11:
One of the users has confirmed here that kitkat update solves the non-linear audio volume scaling.
[Moto G General] sbhas2k:
There is some kind of distortion in the ear phone speaker.. I thought it is not an issue, but lately i have observed 8 out of 10 times, the distortion happens.. Have anyone facing this problem

I tried calling the same friend from a nokia phone and it sounds much better (old nokia with resistive touch screen)

I have updated to Kitkat.. Is it due of this? Kindly let me know.
[Moto G General] mannulko:
Vol. Down button is very tight on this phn.pls check evryone
[Moto G General] sihag:
KK overcame this for sure. Anyway there was no problem with me on GB.

2) Use helium to take backup of App+Data without Root. Don't forget to copy whole internal memory before Factory Reset. Copy paste it later. Helium will need a PC and a days cable too. Read the helium app page thoroughly.

I have updated to KitKat by sideloading it. Now if i do a factory reset, what will happen? Will it stay in Kitkat or revert to 4.3? Kindly confirm

Storage query

M planning to buy 8gb version from flipkart.....will it be enough for my usage >>>

normal browsing,,some social networking apps,,,aroung 1gb music,, ,,,,and basic photography...and finally around 40 to 50 apps.....

<<<<<<

M not a heavy gamer or music freak

so kindly help me out

also let me know exact internal memory available out of 8gb...

[Moto G General] kozaks:
Need Urgent Help!

I need a screenshot for Booking till Dispatch from Flipkart where the Booking happened post 7th February'14. This is to prove that they have stock and I can get my replacement due to Problematic internal speaker.

They are OK with replacement. However, replacement is going to happen once the product is in stock, and if they are already dispatching then it will never be back in Stock....

You may cut the details related to your identify out. If you don't, I will ensure that it is removed before sending it to FK challenging them

Assistance here will really be appreciated.
[Moto G General] ashut0sh:
You get only 5gb for usage in the 8gb version

So 1gb of music

Say around another 500mb for apps and everything (keepin in mind that certain app increase in size on the go like fb Gmail browser etc)

At least 700mb of pics and vids

Then you will have everything coming in from WhatsApp

Hardly any space shall be available for any further usage

And also loading it this much would lead to slowing down the processing

With just 1500 rs of difference I don't find a reason of spending 12.5k and then regret

You will have only more never less

And I am saying this after having experienced similar issues

I was planning to order the phone but have read many here complaining about the low voice volume/quality of the phone.

More than anything else, I would like to have the phone with loud and clear voice which I could also reduce in silent room (or in office) when I does not want other to hear the voice from other side.

Does reducing the voice by 20% or little more make the caller's voice inaudible? Is there any hope of improvement?

Now Flipkart is sending out emails to those who asked to be notified when 16 gb is available. I see double standard here since they haven't shipped my device yet and they are refusing replacements requests as well

Is flipkart always this incompetent?
[Moto G General] satheesh.a:
Finally after several months of endless waiting, today i got my Moto G!![Booked on 7th evening with debit card payment]

The flipkart guy delivered it on 12.30pm sharply.

It was packed nicely and came without any problems :)

My initial impressions:

Display is Impressive:good: Wide viewing angles,Very good contrast and almost accurate color reproduction. No light bleeding, good sunlight legibility(not best). no dead/stuck pixels in camera or in display, there are two dust particles under default scratch guard and a very small one under display glass.

Loud speaker is good with adequate volume levels[it sounds more like a walkie-talkie :D][the volume varies in log scale-From 0 to 70% very low sound, 70 to 100% damn loud!!-an obvious software bug] earpiece is nice and clear(not muffled like old moto flipout, w230).

I broke left index finger nail while trying to open back cover(then only read the instructions in the box leaflet):p. The back cover is designed well with strength ribs and manufactured using good quality plastic:good:.

camera seems good but little slow(I didnt checked it enough)

performance is very good and plays fullHD videos easily. UI is very smooth.

Phone came with 45% charge and it lasted 8 hrs with 3 hrs SOT.:)

I didnt bought any scratch guard for phone in advance.I noticed the logo and company name printed on the default one using screen printing method so poured two drops of isopropyl alcohol in the printing and wiped it. now i got a clean temp scratch guard;)

As for the simcard, I cut the simcards my self using a paper knife. first i used a rejected simcard to get practice and then i cut my normal simcards.

[Moto G General] balboarocky:
I just contacted motorola and the exec told me that the release has been delayed until end feb- march.I went ahead and bought a desire 501 for myself.The impatient guys can import the unlocked moto g (16 gb) directly from us. There is a website called - ishopinternational-dot-com.

Just go to the amazon, choose the moto g variant you want and provide the amazon link of that variant to ishopinternational.

They site will tell you the quote price ( incl. Of all taxes an duties).Register and pay the amount and the device will be shipped within 10 buss. days.

Last time i checked they were quoting inr15560 to ship the 16 gb variant to india.

Good News Guys!

Motorola Indian website just got revamped and now you can chat with Live Customer Support online. Just had a chat with them, they are almost sure that Moto G will launch end of this month, although they have not got the official date and price yet. They also added that they will be updating the website pretty soon with the price once they get the word. Meanwhile I went through the page source of that website and it has a flipkart link on it (commented) :laugh: :good: :cool: I hope the launch is imminent and we just have to wait few more days. :victory:

Does ur MOTO G have "Global/International Warranty"?

I'll check it today/ tomorrow and will let you know.
[Moto G General] balboarocky:
Motorola doesn't provide an international bill.

Your device won't be covered by warranty if you buy it from outside the country you live in.
[Moto G General] techmachi:
Be careful while choosing dual sim variant..

Most of the available developers own Single Sim variant

So limited availability of dual sim developers and No CynogenMod support ..

I want 16Gig single sim..

Hope they will release it or else i will buy it somewhr else.
[Moto G General] nitin.chobhe:
This may be true. But what do you mean by international bill? In fact Motorola has not provided any bill with the shipment :o
[Moto G General] balboarocky:
International bill=international warranty. Its really strange that motorola didnt provide any bill with the box. Please check the box carefully( not that its going to be of any use in india).
[Moto G General] nitin.chobhe:
Hmmm, I got that part. But what is the difference between international and other bills? I'm hearing this for the first time- International bill :confused:
[Moto G General] balboarocky:
You can produce an international bill in front of any service centre in the world and claim your warranty. A local bill applies only to the service centre of the country where bill was issued.
[Moto G General] sudipt123:
I just spoke to Moto Support and they confirmed that they would be launching only the DUAL SIM variant of Moto G though Flipkart by end of the month. AFAIK the hardware for dual SIM and Single SIM remains same- So does that mean no CM?
[Moto G General] mokkami:
The Hardware is not entirely the same. The Dual Sim version has a bit more Hardware to adress the second Sim card.

There are also different firmwares for SingleSim and DualSim, e.g. :

Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umts.Brasil.en.BR

Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umtsds.Brasil.en.BR

In my opinion your only hope is that developers are able/interested to build a switch or something like that which will give the User the choice to flash the one or the other version. Otherwise as most of the developers seem to have the Single Sim version i doubt that there will be a big choice between different DS ROM's. Also the cook must be finally interested to implement this feature, if someday available, into his ROM.

Edit: Follow this Thread maybe someday something will be announced here.
