LOL! Should have done that.

And I got two for me too. Sadly the discount was applied just on one. I have shot an email to Flipkart but they haven't replied yet.

BTW can anybody give some some tips on how to remove the screen guard that comes with the device? I am having a hard time removing it.
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Well maybe you can drive now...since my device is still not shipped...I am sure you can fed ex it faster than FK

I think FK is purposefully hiding the the 16 gb stock (under coming soon) so that they can sell all the 8 gb stock too....Maybe they paid for all the stock upfront so any unsold stuff loss would directly come to them since they are importing it on their own too....

Hi!

Booked my moto g on 7th and got delivery on 9th in exact 2 days. It's an awesome device! the wait since November has paid off.

On first day I got battery backup of 18 hrs. It was Wifi+3G use. Is it less? Now waiting for Kitkat update. Will it improve battery performance?

Thanks
[Moto G General] akhilpo:
Yes I can read and write to the pendrive. And I have connected and disconnected pen drive multiple times and it worked all the time. While disconnecting it will show a notification that the USB device was not unmounted properly. I don't know how to unmount it properly.
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
Go to Settings -> Storage ...
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Sweet....I booked yesterday but it still shows processing...Mayb I will get it in next 2 days? And sure the Kitkat dealt with Project Svelte which was basically to tone down all the fat android gained during project butter so you must get a better batterylife in Theory

[Moto G General] Harsha Raj:
Use this app called contact remover ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.octabode.dcfd ) if you want to delete the contacts only in your phone.

Google maps has offline map cache option, but for directions and routing it needs Internet. Sygic is compete offline map.

Yes it does. I think even without needing Internet.

To everyone else, Moto G has GLONASS feature for GPS. I have used Note 2 which has this feature and the GPS will connect very very fast to the satellites. Even when inside buildings.

New battery will charge slowly

Finally got my Moto G this afternoon :victory: The red cover looks gorgeous even when it is not on the G :)

One thing I've noticed is if you hold the phone as still as possible, you can take good images with this phone too. But I need some practice though. BTW, I have now used this phone for around 4 hours on wifi and only 20% has drained. I'm lovin it:D

Also, someone earlier in the thread mentioned that his phone is charging very slow. In the user manual, the one which is in Hindi & about the power & battery, it is mentioned that new batteries take time early on to charge completely. But they charge at faster rate as they become old.

FYI the camera is much more improved in the 4.4.2 kitkat update.

Do look it up here:

havent tried it but some say that using a higher amp charger (upto 1.5A) improves the charging time.
[Moto G General] adidas007:
Yes it does, it even has a better animation and UI and a better voice guidance :P
[Moto G General] sihag:
Ok now all the replies here

1) USB OTG works. Copying from internal to USB stick not working.

2) Using 2A charger of Note 800 but charging is still slow on phone on.

3) Power + Volume down = Screenshot

4) In call speaker working fine for me= No distortion of voice.

5) Only white notification light.

6) Boot loop once = have to reset device.

7) Awkward flashing of home screen noticed once.

8) No emoji keyboard as in nexus 5.

9) Using app Power Toggles from play store for simple settings. Free app.

10) No lag in any app noticed till now.

11) Keep MyPhoneExplorer Client handy in case of any emergency. Took backup of all app updates now but after 2 resets.

Phone app sucks. No Facebook contacts integration and not any SNS updates.

Go to Settings >> Accounts >> Google >> your google account

Then uncheck syncing for 'Contacts' and 'People details'.

The go to Settings >> Apps >> Contacts storage and clear data.

This should clear contacts from phone while leaving them in google account. You can use a separate google account for contacts.

PS: the charger amp might just not make an issue as Moto G automatically cuts it down to 1.5A max

However its always good to use use as suggested by Motorola, i.e., upto 1.5A is fine.

The wall charger that comes with the phone is 0.5A only

I think something in the lines of 0.7-1A should work fine.

It looks like a hardware problem :( [I think display controller cant access the particular column].

this usually happens when there is loose contact in display connector/strip.

(2)It should not appear in snapshot[power key+volume down key]..

If both are true, then Get it replaced!!

Is it possible to use single SIM moto g's roms on dual SIM motor g?
[Moto G General] kdmehra:
Its a 8 GB model hence replacement, in case of non availability of product flipkart offers refund. Flipkart's response to replacement is quite good. Once you have raised a complain, Technical team will you within 24 Hrs and they would try to trouble shoot the problem. Once they are sure that product is defective they will arrange for replacement. Usually within 24 Hrs you will get the new product and the same person will collect the defective product. Few month back i brought a XOLO and it was defective and got it replaced with in 24 hrs.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Plastic packaging is done by Flipkart, not by Motorola. I am talking about Motorola seal over the packet.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

What cost saving? In USA, the price is 179$ . Flipkart is not importing it.No extra tax.And most important thing is that it contains pure vanilla Rom, no Motorola software. It is also not a Google play edition. So, no immediate update.
[Moto G General] mykimouse:
Its not pure vanilla, it has some motorola apps included.Although not a google play edition but it would be still faster than any non GPE out there.

Diffrences between Vanilla Android and the one on Moto G

Apps by moto:

Assist

Moto Migrate

Moto Care

these too are not the same as the vanilla app:

Camera

FM app

Clock

Furthermore, you will notice after the Kitkat update that

Kitkat for Moto G is not the same as Vanilla (this is for the update that has been posted on the forum):

>It still has a seperate tab for the widgets as in Jelly bean

>The play store icon is still there at the top right corner of the menu

>The icons size is still the same as opposed to the larger ones on Vanilla Kitkat

>The messaging app is not exclusively replaced by Hangouts,

however you can choose one as the default app for SMS.

>Cast Screen option is there but serving no clear purpose:confused:

This may sound a little absurd. But today I was helping a friend who was desperate to get a Moto G or a Moto G spec phone ASAP. Since Moto G isn't available off the shelf and we had no one coming from US soon so Moto G was ruled out.

We went to a local store and the shop suggested we look at Xolo Q700i. This phone is priced at 10450/- and surprisingly it has same specification as Moto G. Including the chip set. The screen has slightly lower P. PI but it has better camera, better battery and expandable storage. My friend picked it up right away and I can safely say the phone is pretty much at par with Moto G. It weighs a bit more than G but its acceptable.

Pros:

Expandable storage

Better battery

Better camera: front & rear

Dual Sim

Local availability and warranty.

Complete packaging.

Cons

Lower screen resolution. 960x540. 245 PPI

Slight bulky.

This is my observation and I am not saying its the ultimate phone out there but its an acceptable Moto G category phone.

Sent from my Moto G
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
Chipset

Xolo = Mediatek MT6589W-M

Moto G = Qualcomm Snapdragon 400

GPU

Xolo = PowerVR SGX544

Moto G = Adreno 305

Display Res

Xolo = qHD with 245 ppi

Moto G = HD with 326 ppi with Corning Gorilla Glass 3

The only plus points in Xolo is 8 MP cam and microSD support
[Moto G General] habunath:
There are plenty of better brands than mmx like Huawei, Gionee etc. Huawei G700 is a very good 15k phone but sadly with Mediatek SoC so no chance of kitkat.
[Moto G General] jamstar.5:
Stop comparing other phones with moto g guys... MOTOROLA has developed two awesome devices X n G... Two boons to the Android fraternity

As of xolo

They kept my phone for a year and when thy returned by saying that it has been solved

No, its a fake rumor. Even a brand named WickedLeak announced such things. All they will do is put a kitkat skin and edit build.prop. MT6589 doesn't have what it takes to run kitkat. XplodWild, the creator of OmniRom confirmed that after he failed to boot OmniRom(4.4) even after trying endlessly.

Hey guys, can anyone help me with deciding the case for the G. Should I go with the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case or its Rugged Armour case?

As for the screenguard, I think gadgetshieldz would be a good choice as someone mentioned earlier. I've only heard and seen them on the web and never used them.
