sometimes I cannot access Internet on 2g

i have 2g internet pack on my airtel sim..in moto g. sometimes it works like buttery smooth....showing E aside network icon. but sometimes there is no sign there...even with data enabled. i know that when u disable data...there is a crossed E symbol there aside signal icon. i have 2g selected in mobile network setting.

the workaround i have found out is that, when i select 3g in setting..then i cn access Internet. but now there is H+ sign there. i knw its for 3g. But battery drain faster..and i notice slow in speed of internet.

why is it' so?

another problem is i cannot access google play sometimes. it keeps on loading...the circle keeps on circling. i hv tried disabling it and deleting cache..but the problem is still there.

for your info..airtel network in my area is always full.

Guys.... I am getting just around 16 hours battery with a few calls, browsing for 2 hours and music for 2 hours. Isn't it too less? Should I be worried?

I went to sleep turning off wifi and 3g and after 6 hours my battery fell by 9% no use just standby :(

I'm seriously thinking for asking flipkart for a replacement.
[Moto G General] VrVenkat:
I think 16 hours battery backup is normal, IMHO you dont need to ask for a replacement. You did 2 hours browsing and 2 hours of music, I think 16 hours is okay and you have not mentioned about your brightness level, your signal strength , 2G/3G etc.

What about 9% battery drop with no usage and wifi and 3g off?

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

Is battery drop of 9% in 6 hours with wifi and 3G off normal? I didn't use the phone even once in the meantime.
[Moto G General] nitin_ko:
phone radios are active and 9% loss overnite is ok. signal strength etc also take a toll on the battery. some apps do wake up your device eg whatsapp has a pre-scheduled backup at 4am or so.
[Moto G General] buntysatya:
But my old HTC Buzz hardly drops 3-4% battery overnight.
[Moto G General] VrVenkat:
Check your Location Sharing is set to Battery Saving, make sure you actually set the Preferred Network type to 2G and check if any background apps draining the battery. Even then 9% drop in 6 hours is not HUGE. So take a chill pill.
[Moto G General] buntysatya:
Yes my location is set to battery saving

as i said, some apps cause wakelocks which result in battery drain. signal strength is also a factor and any drop will make the radios work harder.

I would recommend the armour case (one with the kick stand) if you don't mind the spoiled looks else go with moto's grip shell. I bought the black one for my father and its pretty solid (+ good looks).

Rooting Help

Ok I just bought the Moto G 16 GB variant (XT1033) from flipkart. Now I need to update it to KitKat 4.4.2 and root it. I am not concerned about the warranty.

So can anyone provide step by step instructions or give a link for unlocking the bootloader and rooting this phone? Also, should I update the phone to 4.4.2 first and then root it or first root and then update to 4.4.2?

I have tried reading a few articles regarding this and learned a little about the available methods. The problem is that most of them seem to be for the single sim version and so not sure what to do with this dual sim variant.

This is for those of you who still haven't bought the moto g or want to buy another as in my case. If you don't care about your operator MOTO G IS in ebay for 7355 only

You can manually MEID register it for 500 rupees.If you don't believe me check out this. A seller is offering it for 11,999.00.

As far as I know, fully paid-for Verizon devices can be registered on Reliance.

Not the Boost Mobile ones. These cannot be unlocked for Reliance.

Not sure though.

Anyway, Reliance's CDMA coverage is very very bad.

Better just get the official GSM 8GB one with warranty for only 500 more.

Also , you cannot unlock bootloader on CDMA models at all.

Or else , you can get it with a free extra case for Rs 8800 - link

[Moto G General] ts1506:
Cant access the page. Even if you could, the fact still remains that CDMA coverage in India is sucky. Why not simply give Rs 500 more and get the unlocked GSM ? For the Rs 7300 boost mobile one, you still have to get it unregistered from Boost, and MEID registered here with Reliance or something. Companies usually dont want to register your device, so you may end up paying as much as 3000-4000 to get it working.

Lastly, Boost Mobile devices are PAYG devices. Operators dont usually release PAYG devices for registration on other network unless you are their customer for some period of time (usually 6 months), and all payment is done. There is a reason why unlocked GSM is $179 and Boost Mobile XT1031 is $99

It all depends on your luck, whether the employee you end up talking with wants to help you or not.

I know that. If you keep on searching, and bid intelligently, you can grab good products for cheap. I won a Nexus 7 2013 3 weeks old perfect condition for my friend at only $160. Trending price was around 260-280.

As far as TATA and MTS, they dont even have CDMA in Kolkata, so I dont know about them. And Reliance does have CDMA here, but network is pure BS.

you are wrong here when you say "you still have to get it unregistered from Boost" also one can get meid registered with reliance by paying as low as 500 to 1000 and even free if you have the source.

also reliance is now importing phones like S4 and S3, Note 2, LG G2, razr m etc etc and offering 1 year warranty also. http://shop.rcom.co.in/index.php?controller=cdma&fc=module&module=gsmhandsets#

New Charger

Hi guys i have a serious concern... The charger which i got with the box charges my phone from complete 0% to Full charge for maybe 5 to 6 hours..... Wat the hell??? Its supposed to charge and not take away time like that...

I dont like to put phone to charge and sleep as i am concerned about the life of battery due to overcharging as well.

I have 3G enabled all the time. But i keep removing apps in background and also use greenify to help get more battery life but too bad my moto drinks more juice.

It takes off around 15 to 18% of battery over night without any use of phone.[3G would be ON]. Even with 3G on, drinking about 18% of battery isnt something a phone is allowed to do as i would have never touched phone in that 7 to 8 hours time.

I know signal strength, background apps would wake up etc etc. Even then i think its too much...

I think motorola should do something about battery problem soon. :(

For now can u people tell me if oyur using stock charger?? Can i have a better charger?? Can anyone post link as i am scared to buy a charger which would damage my phone...

Thanks in advance.

[Moto G General] vkk178:
I think it's an interesting question. What other chargers does Motorola recommend ? The provided charger though of good quality is not practical for daily use . It's painfully slow . For e.g. Can we use the Moto X charger or the Micromax 1A charger. I've measured Some chargers like micro max which output 5.1V . Can we use those safely without killing the battery ?
[Moto G General] VrVenkat:
The charger that comes with MotoG is painfully slow. It only has output of 550mA which will take lot of time to charge MotoG, I use my old Sony phone's charger which has an output of 850mA and it charges bit faster. I have even used my nexus 7 charger which is way too high for our phone although MotoG cut shorts the extra power that is supplied and it charges the phone very fast. So change your charger first.
[Moto G General] Xenous:
This question has been raised in other threads as well & i have seen replies with people using their nexus 7 (5v 2A) as well other kind chargers with specs (5v 1a) or (5v 800mah).

As per the replies max current that moto g can draw is 1.5 A with voltage being constant at 5v. Even with a 5v 2A charger the device will not draw more than 1.5A current.I am yet to find an offical moto g document with states above.

Its upto the device to pull power from the adapter rather than the adapter pushing power to the device.

I have been using my spice mi410 charger with spcs (5v 1A) since day one to charge moto g and haven't had any problems till now. It takes about 2 hrs to charge the device frm 18% to 100%.
[Moto G General] salvachn:
I use my iPad's charger which charges my phone from 10% to full in around 80 minutes.
[Moto G General] Ayaz ansari:
Any possibility root moto g without unlock bootloader ?
[Moto G General] anonyo:
There's a reason why Moto has provided a charger with low rating. Quite a lot of people are in the habit of charging their phones via USB port on a laptop/computer. The max power output of a USB 2.0 is 500 mA. If you are in the habit of sometimes charging via wall charger and sometimes via USB, and if the wall charger does not have the same power output as USB, then your phone's battery calibration gets screwed. All those complaining about sudden drop in battery percentages, weird battery behavior, most probably mix 'n match USB and wall charger. In order to avoid complaints about "bad battery behavior", I think Moto provided with a charger with low power output.

As long as you are consistent in using the same charger all the time, IMHO it shouldn't be an issue. Also, if any harm is going to come, I think it is going to be only software related, i.e., battery calibration of android will be screwed, which of course can be rectified (only if you are rooted). Hope this helps all :fingers-crossed:
[Moto G General] Xenous:
Yeah but people are not happy with Motorola's reasoning of providing 500ma charger to charge 2070 mah battery hence looking for alternatives.:thumbup:
[Moto G General] ts1506:
Your link was not opening then. Its opening now, let me check.

And when you buy from Reliance themselves (your link), obviously they will make sure that its already registered and fully working on their network.

But in that Moto G link you gave, its Rs 13500, tell me one thing, what is the point of buying a CDMA model by paying 1000 more than the unlocked GSM ?

And lastly, if Reliance sells you a Verizon model, you cant even unlock the bootloader at all (Boost works).

In the end, it boils down to

Why would you pay more for a CDMA Moto G from Reliance, than Indian GSM ?

Also considering about imported one, that with the phone price + shipping, the total cost incurred is not going to be too less than the actual cost of the indian variant.
[Moto G General] vkk178:
Yes I know this device can be charged using any other 5V 1A charger and it should not have immediate problems . But what about long term battery life and so on ? how sensitive is the Li-Po battery to voltage changes ? . I happened to measure the voltage of the motorola provided charger ; it is slightly under 5V (looks like a safe setting) ; where as I also have a micromax charger and another charger whose output is 5.1 V 1A ( though rated 5V 1 A) . I am tempted to use the micromax charger but slightly sceptical . Its bit of a gray area ;hence would be gr8 if motorola provided some input on these lines . Would a charger like this http://goo.gl/Da7qPF be fine .
