Hey folks!

As expected, there is a bevy of ROMs for the moto G.

But my question is, (since I plan to buy one later) will all of those ROMs work on the Dual Sim Variant? (XT1033)?

Note that I don't care if the dual-SIM functionality breaks, I use only one SIM.

HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I WAS OF ANY HELP :D
[Moto G General] Deadpool:
Yes

Hey wait wait. wait.. wait... wait....

Hello Moto!!!

I booked the device exactly at 12:00 A.M. on 6th Feb. The item was delivered on Saturday 8th Feb at 4:10 P.M. The phone is amazing!! Compact, stylish, feature-rich and easy to use. Got the red shell for a discount too. Feels good to hold it in the hand.

I've realised that 3G does not seem to work on the phone. There is certainly some investigation going on internally because I went through the Official motorola forums https://forums.motorola.com/posts/48fb0b8150 and a fix has not been made yet. So, hopefully they will fix it soon. I can live on WIFI though.

anybody using gadgetshield or azmer screen protector? can you pls tell about its quality, does it(screen guard) gets finger prints and scratches?..

i am planning to buy screen guard.which one to buy..(one which does not destroy beauty of its screen by showing lots of scratches and finger prints)
[Moto G General] adidas007:
Using Gadgetshieldz for around 6 months now on my nexus 4 no scratchers yet. I do handle my phone a bit roughly but still no scratches.

It's not a finger print magnet but yeah if oily hands are used like after eating something finger prints do appear

[Moto G General] AbhishekS:
How to sideload? And are you sure that warranty is not void? Also is the any data loss after upgrading?
[Moto G General] B44Z:
Its features say its glossy. So we're gonna have problems in direct sunlight. I'll probably go with the gadgetshieldz one after a bit more searching. Have seen many better reviews. Isn't totally out of my budget as well. Still checking for any better option tho.
[Moto G General] sbhas2k:
You are not rooting or unlocking the bootloader, so warranty won't be void.

Anybody who received their Moto G from Gaziabad warehouse please confirm the Date of Import from their box.

[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:

[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Naah the 240 devices imported in dec must have been for motorola service centres and mayb for their technical support

The units imported in feb still says month of import as January right?

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

How much do you think flipkart is making per device ....2 thousand?
[Moto G General] sihag:
240 devices should be to check the compatibility and to order the charger + headphones. Any tests related to ROM + as the importer is Flipkart and not Motorola am still not sure about the service center thing. But as 240 is good amount to check compatibility and to make accessories order I think Jaspreet should be right.
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
If I was making decisions for flipkart I wouldn't have imported any 8 gb models and would have invested more on covers nd stuff

I am pretty sure Motorola / flipkart is making more money on covers than they are making on the actual device itself

That back cover can't be more than 50 rupees to produce
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
I am sure that those 240 handsets must have been for technical compliance and stuff like that but just had a thought as a very small number of handsets were shipped from Gaziabad and rest all were shipped from Whitefield, Bengaluru.
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:

Jaspreet Singh)12/02/2014

hi,

i ordered a 16 gb moto g on 9th Feb and i have still not recieved any update

on the product whatsoever from your end.

This is highly unprofessional on your part because in the age of internet

you cant really expect people to wait for 20 days for a freaking device !! This is a clear misuse of

your EXCLUSIVE partnership with the Motorola brand.

Anyway i would like to know a real expected date for shipping of my

device and please don't make excuses like you don't know Since its a largely

known that you guys are directly importing the stocks from China ( written

right on the box) . Seriously this should have been a great chance for you

guys to cash in on Moto g Rather than losing Ur existing customer base over

it

PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THIS EMAIL

THANKS

To reboot in case phone hangs use power+volume down for few seconds.

Only the power button and not the volume down button if I'm not wrong. Power button + volume down is for screen shots

Switched off phone boots automatically while charging through a usb connected to pc.

Ok guys, I've used this phone for 2 days now. Battery level out of the box was almost 50%, so I let it drain completely and only then charged completely. So 50% battery easily lasted 2 days with a SOT almost 3h. Used it on wifi for web browsing, updating apps, exploring play store and downloading apps. Also played a few games for almost 1.5-2 hrs. Also some Bluetooth data transfer and feature exploration of the device. The phone was idle most of the time. Also did a couple of reboots.and was switched off intermediately for some time. The boot animation is so good :) So this phone should easily last a day with medium to heavy usage while 100% charged.

Now, I did notice a few things while charging today. Charging via the default charger is really a pain, it charges so slow. Only charged 38% in 1 hr. Charging via usb connected to pc is slow too. So, I used a Nokia lumia 1.2A charger to charge it completely. It was only marginally faster than the default Moto one. Though, the problem is that when I power it off and charge via usb it automatically powers on. But remains off while charged via wall charger(both Moto and Lumia, or any other for that matter). Even if I power it off again while being charged with a usb cable, it automatically boots again. Is it a normal thing? Does it happen to anyone else? Or am I the only one who experienced this? It never happened with my previous phone.
[Moto G General] pr.itdude:
nice experience with gadgetshieldz, they are professional. Delivered within 2 days from Chennai to Del.

I watched a tutorial on youtube and with confidence applied the screen guard without a single bubble. :cowboy:

But, the outer side is somewhat dirty now, might be my hands with soapy solution did that, but there are some sticky type stains left. I tried to clean that with cotton cloth & tissue paper but no luck. Even tried with mild colin as well but couldn't removed those patches.

Any help ?:rolleyes:

[MENTION=5527144]B44Z[/MENTION] well modern Li - on batteries (I know they are around for a while ) do not have memory cells so a discharge wasn't really necesary Just a tip for any smartphone...if you want to keep ur battery healthy never charge it beyond 85% and never let it degrade below 25%...that's the batteries comfort zone
[Moto G General] B44Z:
Is it glossy or reflective? How is visibility in sunlight?

Thanx. But since I played with custom roms on my previous phone, this is what I did first :P Do you have any idea about the usb charging problem? It boots automatically. It isn't very necessary thing that I'll do often, but I think its a weird kind of behaviour from my device :P

volume problem

Can someone confirm that. I have noticed that reducing the phone volume has a bug even if I reduce voulume to around 50-60% phone voulme get too low that it is impossible to hear anything.

Also noticed that fm radio app has no loudspeaker mode. (P.S. rate the motorola fm app low on play store so that they should realize and add this basic feature )
[Moto G General] B44Z:
Yes, I faced the same on my phone. Even 50-60% volume is too low. Can't hear nothing unless I'm in my room. I don't know if others are facing the same. And the earphones act as antenna to the FM, that's why it doesn't work in loudspeaker mode.
[Moto G General] sahilisburman:
Yaa I know that earphone act as an anteena but what I meant to say was, that every phone with fm has a option to switch to speaker mode after connecting the headset. The moto g does not provide that. Even a basic 2000 rupees phone does have that feature.
[Moto G General] pjaware:
The official instruction is to use Johnson baby shampoo but i used the normal dettol liquid soap handwash (Just 2-3 drops). It is mainly used to clean your fingers before applying the solution on the adhesive or sticky part of the gadgetshield cover.

After application of screen protector, screen will be hazy for few hours. You can use a credit card to pluck excess bubbles out. If few of them remain, do not worry as they will go away within few hours.
