[Moto G General] The "A" Factor:
WTF ?!?

Why are you guys paying 100rs or even 50rs to just get your Sim cut ????

Haven't you heard of your network carries service centers/ galleries ?????

You get a BRAND NEW MICRO SIM (along with a adapter to convert it to normal Sim) for Free !!!

I recently switched my normal Sim to Micro Sim and got it activated at Vodafone Gallery in just 15 minutes !
[Moto G General] 008Rohit:
****, I wasn't sure if DoCoMo would replace it because I didn't have documents of it with me. :/
[Moto G General] adidas007:
You need no documents :P
[Moto G General] satheesh.a:
Do operators convert normal sim to microsim even if the sim is not in my name?? because it's on my friends name and he's in abroad :(
[Moto G General] adidas007:
It's not free. You must be postpaid? They'll charge you in your bill. They charged my dad in the bill despite being a corporate connection :P but it's always better to get a new sim because these converted sims many times cause issues!
[Moto G General] 008Rohit:
Such mistake, wow, much regret. :)
[Moto G General] gizmofreakxp:
Is there any feature which is there in US version of the phone that is not there is Indian version like NFC? It has great review about its build-in quality etc, but has the same quality been replicated in Indian version?
[Moto G General] B44Z:
:eek: Build quality should be same everywhere. They do not differentiate in this regard between the build quality in US and India.

And there is no NFC in the Moto G, be it US or Indian version.
[Moto G General] luckydogra:
???

Any moto g owner can tell where moto g is made. Is it made in china or usa?

its probabaly written on box or battery.

Anyone can specify how much total and free RAM available?
[Moto G General] 008Rohit:
At this very moment, 540MB used out of 882MB. XT1032 on 4.4.2 with tons of apps installed.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Ohh, and just checked, my XT1032 is also made in China.
[Moto G General] lost101:
Can I just clarify; the XT1032 being sold in India is dual-sim? or are both single-sim and dual-sim versions being sold? So far the only dual-sim model has been XT1033.
[Moto G General] 008Rohit:
Only XT1033 is being sold in India. I got the XT1032 indirectly from Amazon.com

[Moto G General] yash295:
Hello Guys! Sorry for dumb question but my friend is about to buy moto g. All this XT1032 and XT1033 models confuses me, will i be able to flash all the roms in indian version?
[Moto G General] adidas007:
Ye you'll be. But I don't think currently any rom for the Dual sim version is out yet, but definitely it's just a matter of time before the threads are flooded with roms for the dual sim version too!
[Moto G General] B44Z:
XT1032 - Single sim US/International version

XT1033 - Dual Sim Indian version

No custom roms have been developed for the dual sim version. Also flashing the custom roms developed for Single sim models doesn't work 100% in primary testing. Yes it gets flashed properly but you don't receive any mobile network. so no use as of now.
[Moto G General] reversegear:
received today

upgraded to Kitkat. :)
[Moto G General] B44Z:
Did you flash the zip or OTA update is available?
[Moto G General] pxdx:
OTA? What was the update size? Are you from India?
[Moto G General] galaxys2s:
Can any 16 GB owner of Moto G post the screenshot of storage

I just want to know the total storage available out of which is usable in terms of apps and Mass storage ?

and how's audio quality in earphones other than moto g' s one.. ?
[Moto G General] reversegear:
Manual update. It's 230mb official..

Its available in general section head over there

Yes I'm INDIAN
[Moto G General] archicorn27:
Any store where one can buy spare batteries in case the current one dies out ? I did read about them somewhere on forums but quickly forgot about it. Some people get higher capacity batteries for that extra life out of their phones. Well, that is secondary.

Once the battery runs out of its charge cycles, one will have to get it replaced. I couldn't get any information so far. Googling didn't reveal much. I did, however, go through a replacement guide for Nexus 4 battery replacement but then again nothing much about stores here in India

EDIT: Okay, this shouldn't be a problem if one takes assistance from authorized service centres
[Moto G General] dzarg:
need screen protector, case

Can someone point me to a good way to get a screen protector and case for my new Moto G. Am unable to find it in local stores, and flipkart doesnt have any protectors in stock either.

what is the correct way to update india versions of Moto G to Kitkat?
[Moto G General] mansigupta:
Hey... you don't need a screen protector for Gorilla Glass... its really really strong. And I drop my phone all the time, carry it in my bag with keys and stuff.. nothing happens to it.

Also, I got my micro sim from the Vodafone store.... super convenient. Took 5 minutes and they'll add 25 bucks into my next month bill. I think thats a better option than getting the sim cut, cos the edges and and shape never get cut too neatly and sometimes its sticks inside the sim card slot.
[Moto G General] vd1900:
Not available for me could you post your details
[Moto G General] b30sam:
Did the Vodafone guys also give you a sim adaptor with the micro sim?
[Moto G General] sihag:
Is kitkat supporting USB OTG?
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
KitKat does not support USB OTG natively.

The work around is either a paid app

or

a free app after unlocking bootloader and rooting the the device.
[Moto G General] sihag:
You have the device to claim that?
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
Yes very much.
[Moto G General] sihag:
I had a conversation with Motorola customer care regarding USB OTG but she said it will work even after kitkat update. And even assured me about that. Silly?
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
Not much needs to be said regarding the level of knowledge of these customer care people.

IMHO they are there just to make you feel better. :rolleyes:
[Moto G General] CedricAndroidlover:
Available in ebay.in. I ordered 3
[Moto G General] gagan97:
hey but someone in this thread wo has updated to indian kitkat version has said... its working properly.. search th thread... kitkat and otg will work with third party app is true of internationl single sim version i guess..
[Moto G General] galaxys2s:
Could anyone answer this ??
[Moto G General] ts1506:
Total usable space is 12.92GB, and about 12.6GB is free out of the box.
[Moto G General] B44Z:
I saw someone in the thread mention that they received the sim adaptor for free. Maybe it just depends upon carrier to carrier :confused:
[Moto G General] fulltank:
I also received a confirmation mail from flipkart that I can order one piece of missed out cover in offer price till March 31st.I Awaiting now for restock.:good:

I sent them a mail y'day - login to FK a/c , go to 24x7 Customer Care on top, select order related query / MOTO G/ MOTO G /Where is my order/email us - describe the missing cover > no stock while ordering etc. - make sure an acknowledgement is received in the registered mail id .
[Moto G General] galaxys2s:
So 12.6GB is both for Mass Storage and apps ?

There is no different partition for apps like 1.9 GB only for Apps like in Galaxy series or other androids ??
[Moto G General] B44Z:

Here is the thread for the OTA zip file : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639384
[Moto G General] dzarg:
Does this Kitkat upgrade work for the Indian XT1033 as well?

Will Motorola be separately releasing an OTA for the Indian version, or is the above update file supposed to be common to all the Asian XT1033 versions?
[Moto G General] pjaware:
Yes, I am just coming from vodafone store and they give you sim adapter with microsim.
[Moto G General] akhilpo:
Hey all, I received my MOTO G. And guess what, its better than what I expected. :) :)
[Moto G General] pjaware:
Got my Moto G as well. It is a beauty especially coming from Samsung Galaxy Fit.:laugh:
[Moto G General] nishthecooldude:
Yes bro I updated manually Indian version and works great...Kitkat...Feels like mini Nexus :D...

OTA will surely be out within few days...or u can manually update now
[Moto G General] hisee:
Hw much u paid for sim?
[Moto G General] akshatsourav:
got mine too :)

nybody tried malaysian kitkt ota zip?
[Moto G General] B44Z:
Yes this update works for the Indian model (mentioned by "reversegear" on Page 71 of this thread). I think it should be common to all the Asian dual sim models as they carry the same build(but I'm not sure). Also the OTA shouldn't be too far.

Can you please post the screenshots of the available storage & ram and the battery level when you boot the phone first? This will put any doubts to rest as the users keep asking the same questions again and again.
[Moto G General] luckydogra:
Moto g has a unlock counter i guess, show 1/1 if unlocked.

(boot into bootloader and check)

so no way to reset it to 0/0. if service centre see it, you will be caught.
[Moto G General] mansigupta:
Yes. I got an adapter also.
[Moto G General] reversegear:
Any one Rooted the Indian dual sim xt1033 version

[Moto G General] galaxys2s:
if we again unlock the bootloader and flash stock ROM again then warranty can be retrieved ??

well if not then what's the advantage of such a great budget phone whom you can't root without unlocking bootloader will will void your warranty forever :p

I mean seriously How many people will root their phones and will kiss their warranties good bye unknowingly the you cannot retrieve the warranty later..
[Moto G General] reversegear:
Lenovo super camera will solve your problem
[Moto G General] ruggedknot:
Have you made any progress on this? I've tried both rooting methods (the ones that worked for the international variants) and I'm having no luck.
[Moto G General] B44Z:
:eek: No, you lose warranty as soon as you unlock the bootloader. Flashing stock rom and claiming warranty won't work my friend :silly:

Yes Moto g has unlock counter. It has software programmable fuses that are blown once the bootloader gets unlocked. So it can't be reverted back to its original state.

Much of Qualcomm's security architecture is implemented using QFuses, which are software-programmable fuses that allow one-time configuration of device settings and cryptographic materials such as hashes or keys. Because of their physical nature, once a QFuse has been blown, it is impossible to "unblow" it to revert its original value.

Waiting for the exploit. Hope someone comes up with it quickly:)
[Moto G General] galaxys2s:
The day when exploit will be found I m gonna BUY the Moto G :D
[Moto G General] ts1506:
Doesnt really matter about exploits, unless you want only root and nothing else.

In matter of custom AOSP ROMs, even if you have root and CWM/TWRP, you will still need an unlocked bootloader, so may as well do it.

Also, unlocking bootloader , flashing CWM v3 for Kitkat (see Development forum) and flashing SuperSu zip from its website should work fine.
[Moto G General] ruggedknot:
Moto G unlocked and rooted

The variant I've got (Indian dual SIM) is an MOTO G XT1033, same as the Brazilian dual-sim version, going by the model number.

Unlocking the phone is a breeze, far as rooting goes, I had to install CWM and then flash Super SU by going into recovery.

All credit, instructions and additional info here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2584210

Presumably, the Brazilian ROMS are going to be compatible, given the same model number but don't hold me to it.

Hope that helped.

Try motorola migrate app.

Else simply take backup of contracts in Nokia phone, then copy the vcf files to moto g and import them

Or paste all the vcf to a folder in pc and use command prompt to merge all vcf to a single file and then import it to Gmail and later sync in moto g. (Google for this method)

[Moto G General] nirmalbalaji:
Probably I will go with it since I really don't need a dual SIM mobile and the XT1032 available on eBay is too costly compared the official India price of Moto G.

I haven't purchased anything on Infibeam so far. How's their service?
[Moto G General] mani0008:
That would do that act as it will make only one sim work but it may cuz some problems. So I was thinking if someone could make a xposed module as it would not disable the sim permanently but will remove the icon of the notification bar. As not being expert in making this module thing, maybe someone will make it soon.
[Moto G General] invisiblebond:
Will have to reconfirm from Infibeam whether it is really dual/single SIM,

Infibeam service:- "good" & Its not like Sandeal tied up with third party to sell MotoG"

Motorola Moto G

And thank you @rakeshtvla for the quick feedback :good:
[Moto G General] rakeshtvla:
Last week Motorola announced Moto G in Malaysia, they priced 8GB version at RM 698 (13.2K INR) and 16GB at RM 798 (15.1K INR). Since Indian versions will be dual sim variants, I guess the price may be 1-2 K more. I have no idea of Malaysian taxes, VAT etc. to compare with that of India.

The benchmark results of my Moto-G are the following,

ANTUTU - 17165

Quadrant- 5744

Vellamo- HTML5- 1270

Vellamo- Metal- 515
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:

Today i saw the phone on ebay india's website...22K for 16Gb unlocked and 20K for 8Gb unlocked...these r not indian dual sim version but dual sim might be priced higher...

[Moto G General] harshaldesai:
I have been using the Moto G on kitkat 4.4.2 and I must say its one hell of a device. The device is far from lag and the battery life is just awesome. I am on 3G or WiFi 24*7.

This is the consistent battery life that I am getting.

50 GB free storage is like icing on the cake.

I got the Global GSM 16GB variant from US. I paid a total of $226 including tax + shipping.

Its a super value for money device. Better than any sub 20K phones available in Indian Market. Even if launched at around 16K in Indian Market its worth every penny.

Anyone who is considering buying this phone, please do so without any doubts.
[Moto G General] nickchk:
well the retail price are rm799 for 16gb,but i preordered mine for rm758(14364 INR) with free flip case worth rm128(2.4k INR),plus free shipping,they told us that eta is between 20-22 january,i assume it would be the same for u guys at india.

Phew. Good thing I got it on vacation (in UAE) before going back to India. Even the cheapest prices in India don't compare to the other countries mentioned in this thread. Unfortunately, it's always been like this for us. It's especially annoying if you consider the difference in value of the Rupee and, for example, Dollar. Bigger dent in your wallet. I've had a terrible experience with pricing in India over the last few years, the most recent disappointment being the Nexus 5. Oh well...It shouldn't really make too much of a difference since it's not one of the more expensive phones but I'd still suggest buying it outside India or asking someone you know to get it for you if you can.
