They don't rattle when you shake the phone. They sit a little "loose" but not so loose that they rattle when you move the phone. I have no issue with them.

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

iPhones are far from perfect. My phone is perfect, thus far, based upon my own standards and criteria. That is different for each person, and my own opinion may even change over time. Nonetheless, it's perfect for what I need it to be.
[Moto G General] techguyone:
No problems here, no rattles, dead pixels, or diagonal angles (though I do think that that is bull**** as that's an 'all models have it or none' type of thing. Think Sony displays, so to say 3 different ones all suffer from that problem, yet I've not heard anyone else mention it ever, on ANY forum. Smells like troll to me.
[Moto G General] fubag:
Lol every post on this forum that dude with the three defects has just been negative that's all I'm saying. Feel like another company paid this dude to write negative comments. Just let people try it before you scare them was my point.
[Moto G General] eXelero:
identical Moto G as yours should be delivered to me tomorrow :) can't wait and hoping it's a "0-problem" item, too :)
[Moto G General] t-bon3:
Got mine from phones4u the day they were released.

Build quality is great overall, much nicer than any of my previous phones Huawei G300, Orange Sandiego, HTC Desire HD, But for sure it's a long way from the iPhone 5 or HTC One.

Power button does have some free play and will rattle very slightly if the phone is shaken.

Original 'black' rear case seems low quality, some creaks near the corners where it didn't snap shut really tight, the rear cover also cracked near the headphone hole the first time I changed the SIM. The white rear cover that phones4u sent in the mail seems better, less flimsy and slightly more grippy.

Screen is great, no dead pixels or backlight bleed. Screen mounting clips are visible on the right edge of the screen when viewed at an angle but I never actually notice them in normal use.

Annoying gap between the gorilla glass and the plastic casing that goes around it, this seems to collect dust, especially up near the earpiece.

Here's the gap i'm talking about:
[Moto G General] gwiqu:
ouch, i really wonder how are we gonna clean that area
[Moto G General] iamwyim:
I am also interesting about the phone as well but ave a both feeling on the phone!

It is nice and affordable.However, I am worrying about the free ram available on the phone!!

Some source said that it has only 882.2MB ram rather than 1 GB!!I hope that there will be

more free rams on the phone once when the phone has the kitkat update!

Another major drawback that I am concerning about is the camera, which has only 5MP!!!

hat is the same as my old P970, which is already rolled out two years and a half ago !!!

I really hope that if Motorola can rolled out an updated version with 1.5GB of ram and 8MP camera!!
[Moto G General] Lyokacanthrope:
They rattle slightly, but no more than any other phone I've ever used. Overall, this phone is actually one of the most solid devices I've ever held, next to premium hardware like the iPhone, HTC One, etc. Feels a helluva lot better than anything Samsung's ever put out, to me.
[Moto G General] mjjferreira:
I dont have that gap in mine.
[Moto G General] gwiqu:
O.o than alls good hahahaha, can't wait to get my hands on it, too bad its gonna take a long time for it to get here (Amazon Y U NO SHIP MOTO G TO SINGAPORE??)
[Moto G General] denzel09:
I tried in my hands 3 moto g and all have a very slight buttons rattle if you move very fast phone from ear but is it real problem? They have some slight free play no more.

I think that for this phone buttons are maked in this way.

It s really a soft problem, i dont think there is a simple self made solution..

I talked with man that sell me phone in a big commercal centre and all their moto g have this very slight button play.

Question is always same: it is a problem in a 200 dollars phone ?
[Moto G General] lamaboy99:
In personally am kinda worried about dead pixels but it is a good source (negrielectronics.com)
[Moto G General] CADude:
I just received 2 Moto G's. Both had flawless screens, both have the wiggly buttons that seem to be like that by design. The buttons don't fill me with much confidence, but they don't seem like they will break easily either.

If the buttons were wider and didn't wiggle, the build quality would be perfect for this price point.
[Moto G General] rpaloalto:
Just got a moto g today. No dead pixels. Button rattle is not present unless I tap the phone against my hand, or slap it on the table.

No noticeable gapes either...

Very impressed with this piece of plastic:)

If people are familiar with the nexus 4 there is a thread here somewhere about a slight rattle that most or all have. It's not the buttons. It's the auto focus glass element in the camera that you can hear a slight rattle when you tap the phone??
[Moto G General] shaftenberg:
I think there is no need to worry. I am in two forums and read only one(!) report of a dead pixel display, that is so little compared to other phones.

Regarding RAM, 1GB is easy and fully sufficient.
[Moto G General] gwiqu:
Do u guys think motorola will be like google and adjust the cut outs for the buttons so that it will not rattle? hahaha
[Moto G General] denzel09:
You guys have in mind some self solution for "play buttons"? My worry is that this slight "play" can be dangerous when phone is in pocket. Phone can turn on itself i think.. or buttons can deteriorate over time. These are my worries..

What you think?
[Moto G General] fubag:
I got this phone yesterday. None of the issues you guys mention above seem to apply to me, but I guess it depends how picky you are with your tech. For me the phone is super fast (coming from an older phone), vibrant display, stellar battery life, finally freaking jelly bean smooth. I have no complaints for the price I paid for this phone. Here's an album I created: http://imgur.com/a/hpml7
[Moto G General] lollerblade:
My Moto G had slightly "playing" buttons too, I easily fixed them inserting a tiny piece of paper (better if black colored) in the space between the buttons and the back cover.
[Moto G General] Andiii:
Bought four 8GB MotoGs one was DOA. The picture was shaking all the time. Even during Boot Logo sequence.

Gesendet von meinem XT1032 mit Tapatalk
[Moto G General] denzel09:
yup, all have this really slight play, i'll try you advice for curiosity ;) Thanks
[Moto G General] melcali:
Yeah that is what I am worried about...

The button "rattle" has been established and is more of an annoyance but what about the "clickiness". Do any of you feel the buttons will lose life easily or start to feel mushy and hard to press?
[Moto G General] CheloLeonicio:
Well, my Moto G has no problems. Probably one but still dont know if its a problem. Im having issues with the Wifi. I compared it with my Tab 3 and my tab 3 has no problems with the wifi. Cant watch youtube videos cuz it stops loading the video and problems with Twitter, generally Wifi. It also can be problem of my modem so dont know, still testing. Anywas, excelent phone, no screen problems, buttons, battery. Its just perfect.

Well, i dont think it will lose life and its not hard to press.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

My battery last like 25 hours using it a lot, not playing ofcourse, just twitter and whatsapp on auto brightness
[Moto G General] stringy2010:
Another perfect G here. Bought from P4U in the UK
[Moto G General] denzel09:
All moto G are perfect, all those that i had in my hands, this is not the problem. But all have the buttons that slightly play. It's normal for a 200$ phone. My worries if this can be a problem in future, like loss sensibility or accidentally turn on the phone. This is my worry. But probably it's a worry overrated for the future, i think..:good:
[Moto G General] YuhaoUK:
Mine does have the usual slight button rattle when shaking the phone but in normal use it's not noticable at all. I was also wondering if anyone else noticed a slightly loud clicking sound when closing the camera app or switching from the rear to the front facing camera. I know most phones do this but I seems to be louder than average on my Moto G. I guess it's just the cheap camera sensor/hardware :rolleyes:. Overall I really love my Moto G, a real bargain!
[Moto G General] lollerblade:
Yes, I also noticed the click when opening or closing camera or switching rear/front camera, it seems like it's the sound of the camera objective switching on/off, it's curious and I never heard it on any other phone (or maybe it was not so loud to be heard), but that's definitely nothing to worry about.
[Moto G General] denzel09:
Yup, all normal :good:
[Moto G General] theoneofgod:
Stability, not battery life.
[Moto G General] renatoakamur:
The music players on my moto are stop playing randomly. I don't know what is happening. Almost all the times this happens when playing on my pants pocket.. I will try a factory reset on weekend and see if something changes...
[Moto G General] denzel09:
I listened music for 3 hours yesterday continously without any stop man. :thumbup:
[Moto G General] renatoakamur:
I'm able to listen for hours too, but my phone need to stay on same position. My problem is only walking, when the phone shakes a lot.

ps. I think this started to happen after one week of use.

ps2. I'm not using the stock earphone, but my Philips SHS3200 is new and working fine on ther devices...
[Moto G General] shaftenberg:
Have that too sometimes, don't know the cause. I don't use Play Music.

Seems like a sleeping issue, if you wait long enough, playing continues ;)

And if you wake up the device, playing continues immediately.
[Moto G General] renatoakamur:
I've tried other players, this occurs on all. Sometimes when i'm too fast to unlock the phone i can see this on my screen (Starting or Initializing in english). I've waited to see what it is, but nothing happens after..
[Moto G General] Ravinxx:
I walk 45 minutes to work with my phone in my pocket and it hasn't ever stopped for me. I use Google Play music though.
[Moto G General] shaftenberg:
This is the message you get, wenn you start a search via bluetooth headset, it is from the Google Search App.

Interesting...

Do you listen via BT?
[Moto G General] renatoakamur:
No, I'm using a wired earphone and my BT is turned off.
[Moto G General] shaftenberg:
Ok. I just tried and made a log of the time the audio playback paused.

Passed this to Motorola.

[Moto G General] gotokyo:
I've noticed my music stopping randomly but that was only using the Pandora app. I'm assuming it has more to do with the app then the phone itself.

One thing I did notice the other day was my compass wasn't accurate while using navigation in Google maps. Hopefully it was just a bug, I'll have to do more testing with it before I know for sure.
[Moto G General] linsspinho:
I agree with you, for me this phone is FAR from been perfect!!! People gotta respect others members opnion, and beside your states I'll complete that saying:

-There is about half inch of screen next (under) to the home "button" the makes no sense for me ( I feel that I got stolen), it is 4 inch only;

-The screen is a fake gorila glass, 'cos I have got a thin scratch in the middle of the screen, BUY A PROTECTION.

-The sound regulation is bad, I mean when the progress sound bar is 80% ther sound seems on 50%;

-The battery is not enough for a quad core phone;

The phone is good, 7/10 for the hardware and 6,5/10 for the system (cos samsung customization e much better).

So It depends in which phone you got before, if you got a bad phone this is perfect or maybe you dont know how measure quality etc.

My next phone will be a SONY -> looking for a PERFECT ONE for me!!!!
[Moto G General] shaftenberg:
Yes, good luck :D
[Moto G General] fubag:
lloool who da heck is this guy? fake gorilla glass :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

not enough battery for a quad core? wtf dude my Amaze 4G barely gets 1.5 hours of screen time on a dual core, this baby gives me like 4
[Moto G General] davwman:
US version here. No rattles, no light bleed, fast and seeing what kitkat was on the nexus 5, the moto g will only improve when kitkat gets pushed to this phone. In response to the mention of the battery being to small, its actually perfect for a lower powered screen, lower powered soc, and lower powered 3g radio. Six hours of screen time with moderate use on 3g/WiFi is not unreasonable. Build quality is definitely great. Not for a $199 dollar phone, but for the build quality moto is known for.

Moto Gee :-¢
[Moto G General] chowy993:
UK version 8GB from EE/T-mobile

I guess I've been lucky, the only problems I have are the buttons rattling and the fact that the back cover is really hard to remove.

You can solve the button rattle really easily, just stick a bit of paper in there. Now there is no rattle at all. Check the attachments.

(I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the pictures; the Galaxy Nexus is not known for an amazing camera :D)

The display on mine has no light bleed, no dead pixels, and the phone itself has no battery issues or any other problem noted.

I hope that those with such problems are successful in getting a replacement, because this phone with no problems is a truly great phone :good:

I look forward to seeing KK on this phone after witnessing how much faster my aging Galaxy Nexus became after installing KK on it :D

[Moto G General] AluKed:
How can a human being cram so much wrong in so little text? You pretty much turned it into an artform, dude :good:

- I think you don't understand how screen sizes are measured. Scratch that, I'm sure you don't.

- Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Yeah, it will survive a lot of stuff, but it will get scratched eventually. Quartz, one of the most abundant substances out there - found in sand and dust, for instance - will scratch GG.

- Sound regulation is bad compared to exactly what? What loudness scale are you measuring it against?

- The number of processor cores is fairly irrelevant when talking about battery capacity. If clocked slower and inherently more efficient - say, from a smaller manufacturing proccess, an octo-core processor might even sip less power than a single core 90nm 4ghz monster. If you'd talked about screen size, I'd even give you something - despite the fact that the phone is getting pretty nice battery life for what it is.

- Samsung customization is better. I... just... I... ah... seriously. I don't even know where to begin.

[Moto G General] Brand New:
Just got my Moto G, it was working great. Now my screen has a red-ish tint to it. I think it might just be a loose connector though, when I put pressure on the bottom corners it corrects itself. Has anyone found some teardowns yet? I've only come across one site in german, and it doesn't really go into any details on void stickers,etc. Pics soon.

Mine have some problems: In dark situations, it changes green color with red but after shooting , picture is fine. Second thing is problem with copy/paste files on internal memory. Everytime i want to copy few files on it, ist stuck after some time and just tell copying and nothing. No reboot option, wtf ?

[Moto G General] Clivectmob:
My take: Simply put, at the price point, even factoring some of the complaints ppl have here, you just can't go wrong. Use it and enjoy the performance you get and feel smug at the fact you didn't pay much.

I have a Google Nexus 5 that I bought a few weeks ago also, and I have dust under the screen on that and a pale spot on the screen. No such issues here. Rattly buttons? Who cares!! Jeez!

[Moto G General] miklosbard:
To be honest I don't see why this can be so important for you, so shed some light on it for me please. In the meantime I have a good workaround for you; press the power button 5 seconds after you clicked power off. (I hope this answer is smart enough for your gentle hearth)
[Moto G General] ViD0:
Good answer but again with unnecessary sarcasm.yes its important for me cause i had it on much cheqper devices so why i dont have it on motog. Greetings from my gentle heart :D

:) The reboot option was never included on vanilla as far as I remember, but is usually the first thing added by custom roms with options to reboot to bootloader/recovery as well. I think you have to live with it missing for the time being.

I have been on the border about this phone for a few days now. I like my Samsung because I can pop in a new battery whenever I need to and instantly have 100% battery left. The battery thread with all of the screenshots of running for over 12hrs convinced me on that front. My other concern is storage space. Is 8GB really enough? Any issues on storage from any of you guys?
[Moto G General] miklosbard:
on the 8gb one you have like 5.5 left for you. that is enough for me, since I usually have wifi, so the 50 GB cloud storage does the trick quite well :) Also if I want to travel and watch a movie for example, I just need to plug in my pendrive and that's it. of course you can opt for the 16 gb one if you prefer more space

[Moto G General] Ravinxx:
I'm sorry, but I really think you might have got a defective phone. The majority of the people (at least here on this forum) get amazing battery life. Im a pretty heavy user and I only charge it every other night.

I've dropped my phone face down onto concrete and the screen is still in perfect condition.

You are right about the sound bar though. It seems the last three notches double the volume when listening through headphones.

About the screen size thing, with the update to KitKat, the bottom navigation bar is going to be transparent so that might be better for you.
[Moto G General] ksuuk:
If You are using it as offline player, 8GB isn't enough for You. But if You use it online, then 50GB Google Drive is a good thing. And BTW, if the storage is big, You use is as warehouse add stuff and forget it, but if the storage is small, You will save only really needed stuff there...

For me ( I don't listen music, play games) is 8GB OK.
[Moto G General] linsspinho:
Probabily I have got a defective battery! ok I agree.

I have dropped my Samsung with not gorilla glass, several times and nothing happens

About the screen: Motorola states it is 4,5 inch, but display size is 4 inch including the the bottom navigation bar (misleading)

I dont know why people keep atacking me
[Moto G General] ksuuk:
First check out whats eating battery, use some special apps for that.
[Moto G General] miklosbard:
Are you sure that you hold a Moto G in your hands? I just measured mine, it has around 11.5 cm=4.52" usable screen.
[Moto G General] linsspinho:
I understand the display size view is 4 inch only. Motorola is misleading people to think it is 4.5 inch.

About the scratch I think you are a little confused 'cos you said : "Scratch that, I'm sure you don't." than "not scratch proof"

About the sound, when the sound bar is in between 0 and 80% the sounds doesn't changes much, It starts to change after 80% until reach 100%,that is important? not that important but i was accustomed with others phone that when it was 50% on sound it was 50% in the progress sound bar! just this.

About the cores you are quite right, but the problem is that my last 1 core phone would get better battery performance than this one. So still worth!

About the Samsung customization's, this is personal opinion, for me Samsung customization's is much much much better than Motorola customization's.

So AGAIN!!

LETS RESPECT OTHERS MEMBERS OPINION! thus STOP ATTACKING ME!

I even can say that my MOTO G is a piece of s...
