New moto g user

Hi guys my moto g arrives tomorrow, anything should i know about while checking the phone while delivery?

i know it has gg3 but suggest me a cheap screen guard plz.... waiting eagerly for my first smartphone.......:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Moto G General] andiroxu:
Nothing special to look for on receiving shipment. For screen gaurd check eBay. There are plenty of guards available at very cheap rate but have heavy shipment charges.
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
Go through the thread.

A lot has been discussed regarding checking the phone for faulty on arrival as well as Screen protectors and covers.

i accidentally cleared notifications and now m thinking i might have missed some imp. info ! is there anything to worry about ?

u got 8/16gb ?

u have missed nothing. 8gb..;) plz. someone my firmware..;) which one have u got?

Which anti-virus would you all recommend for the G ?
[Moto G General] andiroxu:
Do you really need an antivirus for an android OS? If you take care of what you are installing or installing using playstore than there would be no harm to your phone.
[Moto G General] ravidaada:
They will define their future strategies just wait.:angel:
[Moto G General] jamstar.5:
I do not feel we have to worry at all

They just made the deal official

It's not that they have officially announced no updates and unofficial skin on their phones!?

Indians have least to worry as the service from moti was supposed to be bad anyways so lenovo will be no better

Just wait and watch... Even if they don't launch updates we can always port the GPE roms and cm is always there

:)

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

My sources beg to differ as they have some leaks stating that global will be launched in India but no comments on the credibility of these sources :)
[Moto G General] the_hustler:
Why worry when the GPE Moto G is there. That will get updates for 18 months. Just port that on to whichever version you have. simple.

And being such a successful phone, Lenovo will be dumb to **** it up. I mean, if they stop issuing upgrades, lots of people will stop buying Motorola branded phones (I am sure Lenovo wont be the brand that they use in the US). They have everything to lose by not supporting Moto X and Moto G.

[Moto G General] mansigupta:
Noobie question?

What do you feel about the specs of the MotoG v/s a Micromax A117 (for example).. given the almost similar price... do you still feel that MotoG would be a better buy? If so, why?

Please excuse, if this is a dumb question...
[Moto G General] i_rnb:
Don't fall for any "DESI" brand ! Motorola is far better than they are when durability, android updates and development are concerned. Right now the best budget phones are Xperia M (single or dual) and L.
[Moto G General] mansigupta:
Thats one of the main reasons I am considering the MotoG - for the huge support on XDA...

I am currently using the Sony Xpera Neo V and rooting it with the help of the XDA threads was a breeze...

I don't see the same support for the local brands here but I wondered if that was only because of the limited market or of there is any other reason.
[Moto G General] jamstar.5:
Just one simple reason

Canvas - Mediatek

MotoG - Qualcomm

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Do you think canvas devices will ever have GPE????
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:

I have copied the whatsapp backup file folder from my Nokia Symbian phone. How and where do I copy the same on Motorola G?

I have already downloaded, though not activated the whatsapp software in Motorola G.
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
Copy it to the root of SD card (user memory space).
[Moto G General] gizmofreakxp:
In the root, I can see different folders like alarms, android, bacups etc. There is also a folder of 'whatsapp' and it contains subfolder 'media', & 'profile picture'.

So, I understand that I need to copy the entire 'wa' folder which contains three files by the name MsgStore.bak.1 to.3, in the folder where all other folder like alarm etc are located and not on the whatsapp folder itself. Am I right?

How do I copy the data there, through USB drive or some other method?
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
Copy the watsapp folder from old mobile and replace the watsapp folder on new mobile

copy via USB
[Moto G General] galaxys2s:
DOn't do this. Symbian and android file system have different structures ..

you can't simply copy & paste whatsapp folder from symbian to android ..

[Moto G General] gizmofreakxp:

Migrating chats from symbian to android is not possible but iPhone to Android is..

Help!

Guys please would you post your battery reviews along with some screen shots.

I think my battery is messed up. I wanted to know how other Indian users are getting battery life.
[Moto G General] havoc000:
Here are my stats, I have battery saving mode enabled in battery options
[Moto G General] akshaysalunke13:
What are those apps in Notification bar.?

Also what is the screen on time?
[Moto G General] havoc000:
I have 360 security and a battery indicator widget,

Screen on time
[Moto G General] akshaysalunke13:
WTF!! How can you get such a long screen on time.

At about 5hrs, my phone is left with 2-3% of battery that too with a usage of 14-15 hrs!

I think I Ssly need help now! :(
[Moto G General] dakshmay21:
There's nothing to worry about your battery life. 5 hours of screen on time is decent in 15 hours of usage. It depends on how you use your phone. I was mostly on a good wifi signal hence I got such battery life. When I go to college regularly, I don't get such battery life. 5 hours of SOT is amazing in any use case scenario, so chill!

Custom-ROM woes!

Hey!

I have the XT1033 Indian version, and I've flashed the GB (Great Britan) ROM, and everything works just fine (Single-sim, ofcourse).

The thing is, if I flash any CM-based ROMs (LiquidSmooth, Carbon ROM, etc.) my (cellular) radio latches to the signal just fine (with H+ enabled), but when I make a call, I can't end it (I have to reboot the phone) and if anyone call me, the phone rings from their end -- but on my end, I see absolutely no reaction from my phone (NOTHING at all), it's just like no one has called.

I've tried various methods: Flashing different Radio & Kernels (from here), even flashed the en.US ROM, only to discover the hard way that its not compatible with XT1033 (Radio dosen't work).

I'm on Nexus G+ ROM now + Faux kernel. Trying to make things work, by experimentation.

Anyone has similar problems? Is there any workaround?

Thanks, anyways! :)
[Moto G General] bytebrahma:
Hi all,

Planning to buy moto g. But I am curious to know few things from the community:

1. Legacy soft keys are not there(I think I will miss them!) Are you comfortable with on screen keys? Don't they eat min 0.5 inches of the screen? (Google should have used up the dead space below the screen! :( )

2. Lack of micro sd slot. Do you find 16gb enough for moderate gaming(navy fighter, highway rider etc ) and some music?

3. Battery - is it absolutely irreplacable or just a matter of few screws?

4. Camera - how do you find the 5MP shooting quality. Is it adequate?

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Raoku
[Moto G General] darkshadow246:
1. They don't occupy too much space and with the Kitkat update, there's immersive mode which removes them while playing games and other apps

2. This, I'm not sure as I still haven't moved my songs to the phone but with a few HD games, 16 GB is enough

3. It can be replaced I think by removing screws but Motorola recommends its own battery and not another one

4. I don't take much pictures but 5 MP is clear enough for me
[Moto G General] bytebrahma:
Thank you!
[Moto G General] jamstar.5:
Try out paranoid android build...... People are not giving that complaint on that rom....I haven't unlocked bootloader yet..... Will do soon and play with my ril files to see if I can get it to work ;):D
[Moto G General] galaxys2s:
True that , The camera of moto G is not that good enough ...

But you can try snap camera from playstore...

try some settings and post pics here...so we can see....

is it only you ? or its camera is like that..

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

1) On screen buttons takes space of about 0.2" and screen left is 4.3 but after kitkat update its transparent so screen appers bigger so don't worry.

2)Well , for casual gamers its enough , but if you have plenty of hd videos and movies then you should use USB OTG.

3) No one have posted guide for replacing the battery on our own by removing screws on our own yet , also Original battery is not available locally , so will be expensive if arranged from other sources..

4) Well To be honest , i am quite a disappointed by its camera quality ... Indoors pics are not that good enough for me...outdoors i haven't tested yet... but will find a way to increase its quality soon..

You sure PA will work? As in, do you know some one with XT1033 with successful ROM flash? :confused: If you do, a link will be appreciated!

Unlocking your bootloader? A beautiful world awaits you, mate! :D

Lemme know what you experiment then!

Appreciate the reply! :)

Edit: Tried PA latest build (AOSPA 4.1 Beta), and everything seems to be working fine. But I'm not a big fan of PA, and the features of CarbonROM (here) interests me.

Do you think extracting radio files from this ROM and flashing it in CarbonROM might help? (CarbonROM has CM11 base, right?) :confused:

Ahh! I hope [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] brings support for XT1033 soon (considering he's getting a loaned XT1033 -- any update on that?)

[Moto G General] satheesh.a:
I think the Moto G is not that bad like the reviewers say. I think it has much better dynamic range than xperia L's 8Mp camera.The color reproduction is very good under good lighting conditions. The HDR mode increases the amount of resolved details and dynamic range.

On the negative side, its Damn slow!! you need to keep the camera absolutely still to capture a decent photo.:crying:

in indoor and low light conditions, noise in the image goes to roof!!.

And when zoomed in, the image has a lot of 'banding effect' which is probably due to strong noise reduction algorithm to keep noise under limit..

'Im comparing it with my old phone( a half decade old nokia n79) so i might feel Moto g is good :D...

Edit: these are untouched samples from moto g, Last one is very good considering the that background was very bright and fore ground was very dark.

Less developer support, indeed being a dual SIM itself didn't interested me and the annoyance of "can't hide the unsued SIM icon" on the status bar without rooting. Don't know why Motorola wants to implement the likes of iPhone's annoyances into Android.

OK guys, I upgraded to KitKat 4.4.2 on Monday 2 days ago when my phone was fully charged at 100% battery level and the upgradation took almost 6-7 minutes. The phone was left with almost 52-53% charge after this process.

Now I have experienced some differences with 4.3 :

1) longer battery

2) better camera

3) charges a bit faster

4) volume level problem is gone now

5) smooth as ever (not a difference :P )

:) Also I'm not experiencing any force closes or signal drops as other users have reported.
[Moto G General] talktoraj83:
You should be happy then...enjoy ur motoG ride..:)
[Moto G General] B44Z:
Here are my battery stats with Screen on Time. That too with only 52% charge left. If it was 100% it would have been more. Will post that in future,if I notice any increase.

On WiFi only + updated apps as I did not do for most on 4.3 + up to 1hr gaming + music with screen off + twitter whatsapp flipboard etc intermittently. No mobile Internet.
[Moto G General] dakshmay21:
