[Moto X Q&A] charcoalbox:
I am going to buy a Moto X in the US and use it abroad. May I get some suggestion about which version to buy other than the Dev Ed because I managed to get a promotion code which can only be used for MotoMaker ones.

Is there any version that is unlocked for sim cards other than the carrier indicated?

which version is easier to root and unlock the BL of Moto X?

Thank you very much.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
TMo
[Moto X Q&A] yghrv:
TMO is sim unlocked and bootloader unlockable
[Moto X Q&A] charcoalbox:
Thank you!
[Moto X Q&A] charcoalbox:
Thanks alot.
[Moto X Q&A] P!X3L:
I'm going to Mexico in January and I have the Verizon Dev edition; as far as I know, it has the same internals as the standard moto x, only the bootloader being unlockable is different. It's my understanding that Verzion phones come carrier unlocked, and the new ones (including the x) have gsm bands as well as cdma and LTE bands. My mexican (telcel) sim card shipped today so I should find out soon. These are the bands included in the verizon moto x:

Network: LTE, CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz)

LTE B13/4 700/1700

Global Network: EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS( 850/900/1900/2100), HSDPA 42.2 Mbps (Category 20), HSUPA 5.76 Mbps

As long as your overseas carrier offers one of those you should be fine. Also, if you're about to buy, I'd hold off for a week if you can. I hear wood backs are coming to moto maker.
[Moto X Q&A] Jas0nMack:
Have you confirmed if it worked or not? I am thinking of sending a few to Honduras to run on Claro and it looks like they should be able to get nano sims there since Claro offers the iPhone 5S. They currently all have Droid 3 phones.
[Moto X Q&A] bmszabo:
I've got an ATT Moto X, proparly unlocked; works fine in Europe, w/o any issues! Few ATT spamware (phonebook, backup) disabled, everything else is just fine pure Android experience. Got mine from Ebay.
[Moto X Q&A] xylencia:
Best to get the T-Mobile Moto X. Why is because it comes unlocked for GSM networks right out of the box and furthermore, it doesn't even have a carrier logo on the back.

I got one and its happily working fine in Malaysia with no network issues.
[Moto X Q&A] skotturi:
I believe the T-Mobile one is the best global solution as xylencia mentioned, it comes carrier unlocked (not bootloader unlocked, as some confuse the difference). I just took my moto to Canada and got a nano Sim from telus, paid $30 for a month and its working great.

I moved away from Verizon because their phones don't work on any other network (unless things have changed recently)
[Moto X Q&A] SupaSwag:
Verizon LTE devices come sim unlocked for GSM carriers. It's part of an agreement with the FCC. You can use it stateside and globally.
[Moto X Q&A] Jayrod1980:
T-Mobile or the Dev gsm is best for travel other than for Korea and Japan and even then you will have 3g
[Moto X Q&A] xylencia:
Cool. Moreover, I actually used LiveChat with a Motorola rep and she confirmed that only T-Mobile's version comes carrier unlocked out of the box. Even though NO CONTRACT options are also available with the other carriers.

[Moto X Q&A] kolyan:
Correct me if I am wrong, Europe uses 4G band 7 right? Which GSM Dev Moto X doesn't support.
[Moto X Q&A] amarguli:
You are right. Only XT1058 supports band 7
[Moto X Q&A] kolyan:
That sucks. I am pretty sure T-Mobile S4 had band 7... ..I checked Nexus 5 also doesn't have it.
[Moto X Q&A] xylencia:
Well if u really need LTE on 2600, just buy the ATT version and have it unlocked by a third party. Probably cost u something like ten bucks.
[Moto X Q&A] Vivjen:
Now is not the only model at the moment. European Moto X (I don't know model number yet) supports band 7 too
[Moto X Q&A] kolyan:
But ATT doesn't have 1700. All Motos missing something.....sucks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneak:
So I'm typically getting 3-4Mbps down and 2.3 or so up with t-mobile despite my address showing "excellent" coverage (their top rated coverage on the coverage map). When I asked for an estimate of what speed I should expect in my area they told me 20Megabytes per second.. yes they said "megabytes". I corrected them and they confirmed that it's actually 20 Megabits.

That was one of several lies they told me, here are a few more:

1) They said that I could activate the $30 5GB 4G/100min plan by calling them. It says on the website that it's only available on t-mobile's website and at walmart. When I called to activate the plan as they told me I could, I was notified that it isn't possible. I fought back explaining that they told me I can do that and they said they would do it as a "courtesy".

2) Prior to signing up, when I asked for a tax/fees estimate for my state, the sales rep's exact words were: "What you see is what you pay, all fees and taxes are included in the listed prices." I soon found out that it's also false and they do charge some extra fees on top of that $30, as well as the other plans.

3) I just called them regarding the very slow speeds and the guy asked me to turn my phone off and leave it off so he can do something and then asked me to turn it on and do a test. This time the result was: 11.05 down / 2.71 up with 103ms ping. He didn't listen to me when I said 11 down and 2.7 up so he said "oh, 2 mbps is normal for LTE". He thought that I was saying I had 2.71 down and that this is "normal". He explained that the tech team would see that I got atleast 2 MBps and tell me it's normal for LTE. I said: "really? because if you actually look at the specifications you would see that none of the carriers actually provide LTE speeds." He said "I'm glad you're up to date on the knowledge of it, the thing is they will see that you hit atleast 2 Mbps and will say that it's normal." He basically refuses to do anything actually useful for me to fix their network issue. I live about 5 minutes (walking time) from a state university so they better get their network straight and fix these issues.

This is the second time T-mobile has lied to me. Back when I lived in California I had a sidekick in 2008 and they told me I'd be having full bars every around my address for a large radius. I came out here and the signal was terrible and dropping calls constantly. They told me they'd waive the cancellation fee for me since their agent was incorrect, then proceeded to send me bills and harass me for an early termination fee.

What would be the best way to get through to these low level uneducated tier 1 support agents and actually get the issue resolved? T-mobile appears to be the only company in the area with "LTE coverage". Maybe I'm better off trying out AT&T?

I think I'll call again in a moment to see what they tell me next.

I'm wondering how to get t-mobile to understand that 2Mbps isn't LTE speed.. lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonelcack:
i get 40mbps down and 15mbps up 30ms ping with 3-4 LTE bars

sounds like yours is actually still on HSPA...have you tried typing *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer and selecting LTE only?

note that you won't actually be able to make calls when using these settings just for testing
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneak:
I tried it and didn't get any singal at all. Someone I spoke to this time told me they'd transfer me to a tech support agent, apparently he's the same old tier 1 loser.

He says that because I don't have a "t-mobile branded device" I can't get LTE. He says it has to be straight from t-mobile. He says that it's the same for all phones. I told him he's full of crap and it's the same phone regardless of being branded. He says that it's because if I owned ATT I wouldn't want people using it on t-mobile. I said no, this is an unbiased unlocked by manufacturer device straight from Google. He keeps saying he isn't making it up and can send me an email. I said it's no good to send me that now, after your company told me I can use LTE on an unlocked Nexus 5.

I accepted the email he wanted to sent me and it said it needs the 1700/2100 band to operate on their network. I said I checked that before-hand and told him already. He starts asking if I installed apps and telling me to uninstall all third-party browsers because they cause issues on the phone.

He said to go into "browser" and look for "bands" in "settings". He told me to clear the cache/cookies/history in Chrome and turn off the phone and that he'd "get me a new connection". Nice irrelevant cache purging t-mobile! He had me turn it back on and asked for my address for coverage checking. He said he can't find my street address which is odd since nobody ever has that issue. Now he says "who told you that you can get LTE at your address?" I told him that tmobile told me and the chart shows it. He says I'm between the 3G and 4G connection, I'm really close to it. He tried to tell me that H means 4G and I explained that it's actually 3G.

He asked me who told me that HSPA is 3G? I told him what to search for in google and he keeps repeating to back up my arguments with facts and I keep explaining to him why and where to look. He says I don't back up my facts and now he's asking "if you're the technician at t-mobile and the customer is saying H is not 4G what would you think?" I said that they are lying to me or misinformed. He just argues non-stop. He said if I believe t-mobile is wrong and "H is not 4G" then maybe I can talk to the supervisor and tell them that H is not a 4G sign.

I spoke with the supervisor and they said they can't guarantee LTE on a non-tmobile branded phone. I asked what the difference is, they said the "Settings on your device". She sent me another email. I asked about the ISIS sim card I read about people receiving for their unlocked Nexus 5's on this forum and they said a new sim card won't change anything.

I'm calling again :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
you do get the LTE symbol next to the bars correct?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
How many bars of LTE are you seeing? I normally only get HSPA in my house, and LTE outside. I just did a test and I'm getting 2.42/.32 with 2-3 bars of HSPA. With about 2 bars of LTE though outside of my house I get about 18mbs down. With full bars I've gotten a little under 50 mbs down which impressed me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Have you re-checked & compare your T_Mo APN settings (i.e. using fast.t-mobile.com) - using IPV 4 instead of IPV6 (toggle them & test to see if you notice any difference.) If you move to another nearby location closer to T-Mo towers and check your speed again - are there any difference on both downloads & uploads?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneak:
No, I get 3G or H.

I get 3-4 bars typically but NOT of LTE. I can't get the LTE icon to even appear. I've gone outside and still only was able to get H. I will go outside again in a moment and check for LTE.

I haven't tried forcing IPv6 or IPv4. I'm doing that now and with full "H" bars I got 7 down and 1 up on IPv4. When switching to IPv6 only, I get 7 down and 1 up.

I went outside to perform the same tests. I got 9/2 on full "H" bars using IPv4 and the same results for IPv6, however on IPv6 I did get an upload spike to 62Mbps which I guess is just a mistake from the app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] embhorn:
Can you ask the local TM store to give you a test phone to verify that LTE is possible in the area? The maps are always inaccurate, and there are often coverage holes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneak:
The closest store is too far to walk and I have no car now, but thanks for the good suggestion.

I was told by ATT last night that they "mix HSPA+ and LTE" for "better speeds and more consistent coverage". Most likely feeding me garbage like t-mobile? I told them how I've seen an LTE S4 getting 30Mbps on Sprint and suggested that since theirs is "better than the other networks" as they claim, that I should be able to get such speeds. They told me "those speeds or better".
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
if you're not getting a LTE symbol, your account isnt provisioned for it and needs to have that provision OR you do not have LTE signal available at your residence/places you go.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneak:
Interesting, I can ask them if they've done that. Anyways, they told me before buying that I'd have it and it even shows on their coverage chart:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
Maybe he didn't know the difference between HSPA and LTE since they call HSPA "4G". He thought 2 mbs is good for HSPA (which it's ok, not great. I' ve usually gotten about 5 mbs on HSPA)

EDITL Yeah, that's what I thought. The map is a bit misleading. It' shows "4G" coverage which is what they call HSPA as well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
that actually shows you have 4G which tmobile considers h/h+. you need to find a LTE coverage map.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dtalwar14:
Hello, guys. I'm sharing with you the app ZIPme, it allows you to create a flashable backup ZIP of anything! Build.prop, boot animation, system fonts, accounts, messages, wallpaper, Wi-Fi, apks, apks+data, only data etc.

It's really easy, I added some screenshots to you.

Tested in:

Xperia U | Xperia P

Note: if you test tell me to add in list

Hope you like!

Words of developer (JRummy Apps):

ZIPme is in beta. This means there will be bugs and some hiccups.

ZIPme is a powerful tool to create update ZIP packages to install in recovery. Whether you are a ROM developer or just getting into "root" and "ROMs" ZIPme can simplify your life.

Who should use ZIPme?

If you install custom ROMs on your rooted Android device then ZIPme can be a powerful tool. ZIPme requires root access.

What does ZIPme do?

ZIPme creates ZIP packages to install in recovery mode. When you install a new ROM your system is wiped and many times you clear your data. ZIPme can create a package of your apps, data and files you want to install right after a ROM or as a ROM addon. ZIPme programs and signs the update ZIP package so your recovery can install it.

I'm running the 12-10 CM11 nightly and the headset volume is really low. I use an FM transmitter in my car because I'm old skool like that and I have to crank the head unit all the way up just to get music to play at an acceptable level. My question to you: what apps are you all running (if any at all) to help boost output?

I tried several apps and none of boost the sound but have no problems reducing output. Is there something in the build.prop that can be changed or is that only earpiece volume?

Why do case manufacturers insist on leaving a gaping hole where the camera is! A simple magnetic or even Velcro flap over the lens hole would prevent perhaps the most prone to damage area of the phone from getting scratched and dirty!

it drives me nuts!... I remember when phone makers used to have lens protectors built in, I remember a couple of great Sony Ericsson handsets,.

Does anyone have any remedies, other than putting my phone in a sock!

In case you don't know:

1. The piece of glass above the camera is Gorilla Glass. The same material that's protecting the screen.

2. It is possible (in fact very easily) to replace that cover. Just search ebay for N9005 Rear Chassis Housing. It's not cheap, but certainly not expensive either. ($ 20 - 30)

I really don't see the necessity, if it ever gets that bad just replace it or use a piece of scotch tape that you take off to use it.
