[Moto G General] The Sicilian:
Thanks. Which screen guard are you using? If possible post the link to order one :P

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Where did you order it from? Is it good? Does it fit properly?
[Moto G General] kozaks:
Got my Amzer TPU today. Considering i had a look at all the other options, this one looks the best.

Fits perfectly.

Adds a macho look to our moto g.

No issues with cuts for ports. My OTG cable worked perfectly.

Matte finish at the back gives you a good feel & grip
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Moto g is quite wow The only issue I have is loose power button

Anyone else feel that their power button is lose?
[Moto G General] zarz123:
Same thing here. Mine is not a dual sim version. But i think it rattles. I had similar thing on my 5s but they replaced it, i dont think they will replace the moto g for the rattling power button though.
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Well its not really rattling....just loose....we should get grip shells That would keep the button firm
[Moto G General] Piyush Rawal:
Is it just my phone or this phone charges really slow?
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
What's the rating of the charger you are using?

Moto recommends 500 mA to 1500 mA @ 5 V

500mA @ 5V will charge slow

1500mA @ 5V will charge fast

charger above above 1500mA MotoG will cut the current down to 1500mA.
[Moto G General] Piyush Rawal:
I'm using the charge that came with the phone
[Moto G General] talktoraj83:
I thing we should use the charge which comes with MotoG...other chargers may cause problem
[Moto G General] adidas007:
That's the 500mA charger.

Don't know why Motorola have 0.5A chargers! Every other company gives 1A charger at least.
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
That charger is rated as 550mA @5V

but it actually gives 600mA as reported by some.

Considering the range of charger rating recommended by motorola 600mA charger is on the lower end and will take more time to charge.

It it should not take too long to charge.

Batteries usually take a few charge cycles to work optimally.
[Moto G General] The "A" Factor:
Power as well as Volume buttons have excessive play ..

Since you got the device now, how's the VIBRATION ???

Does it make little noise on upper side (behind speaker area)???

(Best way to check is through keyboard App) or Navigation Buttons .

My phone makes a little rattling sound if I hear it closely .
[Moto G General] hisee:
ya same here
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Vibrations seem fine.......power button is only loose....I guess its some manufacturing miscalculation which was have been too expensive to rectify

I will just buy a grip band

Edit: is it just me or the packing box is way too small?

I that there's no way there's a charger and headphones in there
[Moto G General] reversegear:
Whole forum guys are happy for that...

You r the one who booked at earliest

And getting at last :)
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Haha I first booked on 9th and canceled at 21st I think.....then booked on 23rd and it got shipped in few hours..........anyway its a sweet phone ....just having a hard time with on screen keyboard...
[Moto G General] Sandeep Srikantam:
Finally my order got shipped today. It's at the whitefield right now.

I did a booking for 16 GB ver on 16 Feb at 10:53 PM
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
The courier guy asked me to call him if someone wants a moto g ....he will sell them a unit somebody declined to accept
[Moto G General] ankur.walia:
yeah power button is loose in almost every moto g i think, just open the back cover and stuck a very small paper with power button and close the cover.it will act loose then..
[Moto G General] darkshadow246:
The flipkart guy?

I will order one very soon but I'm not sure if my dad will accept to order it today for me

sent from my muffin
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Yeah he said demand is so high he will just fake the sign and sell the phone which some one did not accept delivery for...

Tell your dad there won't be a phone like this again
[Moto G General] adidas007:
I don't think that would be a wise choice. Considering the billing name and address on the bill being of someone else, and that person will also get the order confirmation mails and bills with the IMEI and if He wants he can tell flip kart that he didn't receive the phone and then the delivery guy will be in trouble and the phone can be locked...
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
I know sounded fishy to me too.....and now Flipkart has the product in ready stock anyway
[Moto G General] darkshadow246:
What happens if you drop the phone or some problem comes

There are no service centres of Motorola in India right

Delivery time in NOIDA

Just ordered the moto g 16GB.

How long is the delivery time in NOIDA?

Anybody ordered here from NOIDA?
[Moto G General] techpick:
When I received the motog pack from flipkart, it had the list of service centers (authorized) from my state. I'm pretty sure all the states will have their own service centers... Sorry about the bad image quality....;)
[Moto G General] techpick:
Check what flipkart says is the delivery date...
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Am sure it will be better than micromax lava karbonn combined

Plus you won't get hardware complaints ..its a solid build
[Moto G General] shivam1003:
all it says

"Will ship once released."

"Your order has been placed"

What to expect?
[Moto G General] techpick:
Per the website, the piece will be available in a weeks time. So you can probably get it shipped after that and may be 2 or 3 days from then...
[Moto G General] darkshadow246:
I was talking about the glass shattering or water damage but seems there are service centres if such things do happen

Please advise how can I transfer my calendar entries and messages from Nokia Symbian phone to Motorola G?
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
First sync your Nokia calender to Google Calender.

then sync Moto G's Calender with Google calender.

not sure about SMSes
[Moto G General] gizmofreakxp:
can you please advise how to sync nokia calendar with google calendar?
[Moto G General] AbhijeetNagawade:
It's been long since I used Nokia (Symbian) phones.

Google sync used to work in those days for contacts and calender.

I used to keep my phones contacts and Calender entries synced to Google.

Don't know about now.

Try googling for some app.

How does the case fit the back? Do you still feel the curve after you put the case on?
[Moto G General] anonyo:
Motorola Mobility never withdrew from India completely, they are aware of the huge potential market that India is for mobile.

Their service centers are still active all over India. Just visit motorola india site for list of service centers.

[Moto G General] jyotman007:
The fitting is just perfect and case actually looks much nicer than it looked in the pics... It does make the phone look a little bigger but its still slightly curved from the back with the cover.

But this cover is really unique I have to say... Looks stunning and very different. Sure to catch some eyeballs especially if you have a bright colored one :p

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

Guys I've noticed something on my phone... Whenever I open the camera or close the camera there is some 'tick tick' sound coming from the hardware... Its more prominent while closing the camera.

Is anybody else having this sound while opening or closing the camera?

The sound is not loud but u can easily hear it in a quite place.
[Moto G General] jamstar.5:
Happens with mine too

Guess it has something to do with lens protection?

[Moto G General] mohitdabbaail:
Is it safe to buy Moto G from a mobile store? The guy at the store said that the phone has bill, warranty and it's a brand new packed piece. I have read that Moto G is available through Flipkart only. Is it safe to buy from him ?

I experienced a drastic change of battery life from 2+ days to 1+ days after i added one more sim to use dual sim funtionality. Did someone else experience this?
[Moto G General] talktoraj83:
Yes dual sim will definitely gonna impact battery life compared to single Sim..but it should not be drastic...
[Moto G General] ch@ts:
I've got 2 moto g's.

Ones got 2 sims in it, and it lasts for just about 2 days, with 5 hours screen on time, and 2 hours talk time.

The other's got a single sim and that lasts about 6 days! But screen on time is like 1 hour and talk time is less than 10 mins.

Wi-fi always on, twitter, whatsapp, facebook, google+, skype, email all running in the background on both phones.

The second phone is for my fiancée to replace the phone which she lost while travelling. I'm going to meet her next week at which point she'll put in a second sim card, and then I'll be able to report how much adding the second sim affected battery life.

So Indian users will get this same update soon :

1) Fixed temporary cellular network loss – Fixed an issue which could lead to temporary loss of cellular network service for a small number of Moto G customers.

2) Fixed wallpaper cropping issue – Fixed an issue which could cause the home screen wallpaper on some devices to be cropped after rebooting the phone.

3) Resolved USB OTG support issue – Resolved a USB On The Go support issue that prevented Moto G from writing data to a connected USB storage device.

4) Fixed voice call volume issue – Fixed an issue where the volume of voice calls heard through the device earpiece could gradually become too low.

These are the mostly main issues people are getting & going to be solved soon ..

Must say Moto is working hard :)

As my moto g is on the way in shipping process , i am buying this phone for my Dad and i have second thoughts for Sony Xperia M which is available for 10961 on snapdeal.. So there is price difference of total about 3,000/- INR..

My dad will not play games but will Use internet , Chat apps like Whatsapp , Music & calls & other basic apps.... SO main things required is good battery backup , good looks , Good audio quality on both speakerphone & earphone , good camera , Fast , Fluid ,buttery & Lag free UI and Android updates..

So can any one tell me which should i go for my dad b/w moto g & Sony xperia m where that 3,000 INR will justify the price ??

I can still return the moto g... so that will be n0 the problem...

Here's the some points i have made over both:

Moto G over Xperia M

bigger 4.5" 720p display over 4" one

better quadcore snapdragon400 processor

Gorilla Glass

2070 Mah battery over 1750Mah

1hour diff. b/w both for 2G calling

FASTER & LATEST ANDROID UPDATES , VANILLA ANDROID

Xperia M over Moto g

Much better Looking then Moto G

Lighter &Slimmer

Removable battery

SD card Slot

NFC

Much Cheaper Back covers or Panels(OPTIONAL)

Can be rooted & still can get warranty

P.S- Features i need is for my dad's respective So only Judge through that not yours :p
[Moto G General] ajeetone:
Yes Sure, even 5000 rs difference will justify the MOTO G...
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Better looking? I think not.... Have you held a motto g on your hand yet?

I too thought that it would be a thick brick bit the curves make it feel much slimmer than it is

And the display..... Your dad would love this display.... Easily Worth the extra 3000 bucks

Typing on 4 inches isn't all that easy too so what's up would become a passion for heavy users
[Moto G General] galaxys2s:
Well I am not sure of the aftersale service of Moto ... I have no clue of how its comparable to Sony ?

& after 1 year what if moto g battery have to be replaced then what will be the Cost of replacing it from moto care as it will be no in warranty then as its not user replaceable and It will be Expensive too..
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Well yes if you think like that Sony is a better choice Go for it!

I checked with the seller, he says that one is matte and other is of clear quality. What is the difference between the two and which would be better? What is the quality of GadgetShieldz screen protector?
[Moto G General] shivam1003:
How long does Flipkart take to ship the Moto G from Bangalore to NOIDA?
[Moto G General] sbhas2k:
Gadgetshieldz is of clear quality a.k.a glossy. Matte finish will reduce the overall brightness and to some extent picture quality, but not reflective and no finger print smudges. Glossy is bright and has awesome picture quality, but attracts finger prints which requires frequent cleaning and reflective. Your pick :)
[Moto G General] adidas007:
Matte will feel like the 'Baked lays' packet, whereas glossy will feel almost like glass :P
[Moto G General] ts1506:
Those fixes are for the XT1032 Single SIM.

XT1032 got Kitkat in december.

XT1033 got Kitkat a few weeks ago, and it includes all those fixes.

XT1032 is getting a new build, same as the current XT1033 update.
[Moto G General] B44Z:
Yes, it does have the click sound when opening and closing the camera. One reason could be this. If you noticed while closing the camera app, it saves the last frame caught by the camera while it was open. And when you open it, it begins from the start. You'll know what I'm saying when you first close the camera and go back to your homescreen. Then open the recent apps and see the camera. You'll see that the camera has saved the last frame while it was open before being closed. This is the only thing I can think of right now. Or maybe its a common feature. I don't really know :silly:

2 days normal usage with everything working : 2 sims working, 2 G, wi-fi, around 45 min calling, whatsapp, few hours games, lots of music with screen off and other apps constantly in sync.

1 day easily with whatever I want to do with heavy gaming.

My app backup works easy with Helium. You'll have to download the separate apk and latest drivers from here : https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481/action/auth

The motorola drivers given on the Helium(CWM) website is outdated. Also, do read the instructions mentioned on the Helium site here http://www.clockworkmod.com/carbon

It took a couple of pc restarts to work successfully. There will be a folder in the storage called Carbon that will have all your Helium(erstwhile Carbon) backups.

Alternately, use G Cloud Backup or Super Backup to backup sms/contacts. They don't backup apps and data unless you are rooted :(

Also, in case you want to backup apps there is another way. I use ES File Explorer ,It will only backup the app apk installer and not the app data.

1. Open ES File Explorer.

2. Tap on Fast Access icon (top left)

3. Now in the swipe menu tap on App Manager

4. In user app list ... Long press on the app or game you wish to backup as apk.

5. Finally Tap on Backup in the bottom menu

The apps installer will be saved in a folder called "Backup" in the ES File Explorer.

Could be a calibration problem here. Just try out a couple of full recharge and discharge cycles. Also, let it charge preferably atleast half hour more after attaining 100% charge.

I don't know if this phone has arrived at the local retailers. Confirm before you buy. Make sure its the XT1033 dual sim Indian model. Or your warranty won't be entertained.

Yes, I saw that here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2662608 Too bad, I have already further trimmed down my sim card as it showed the 1st problem. I thought it didn't fit properly as it used to lose network and just won't come back even after reboots. Now, it is smaller than a usual micro-sim:crying:
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Looks like Motorola will implement an option to hide inactive Sim icon

The software team replied to me on g+ He also notified Meet Jariwala who handles the moto g
[Moto G General] gizmofreakxp:
So, that means I should go for clear glossy guard. I wonder if that is the way than why is it priced lower than matte finish.

I got my moto g two days before, and i have a major issue regarding the network, the phone automatically looses the network showing the red plus symbol or sometimes looses the net connection. im using BSNL on first slot and Vodafone on second, both looses net connectivity frequently.

and it takes alot time or a restart to get connected to net, Airplain mode on and off also dint worked.

Please Help.

[Moto G General] sbhas2k:
It is your personal preference buddy. There is a market for both. Previous MacBookPro used to come with both the options and suddenly they stopped matte finish which made a lot of users disappointed (Note: I owned a matte finish one and i loved it)

In my earlier two phone (HD2 & Desire SV), i used matte finish with any issue. For Moto g i ordered clear screen one, for more clarity and also bcz i have flip cover. So if it is not an issue for you, buy both and try it for yourself

All the best :)

and where to find cases or covers cheaply as on ebay it starts from 250 or more That's high as for other phones you can get soft ones or hard ones ealisy at 100 INR..

If these cases or covers are avaialble locally ??
