Update for Moto G in india

My Moto G(From US) will be shipped to me by 24th,

Can anyone tell me how to update it from india (Proxy Servers etc!!!).

Thanks and regards.
[Moto G General] shaftenberg:
Sure you can...!

Take for example the RootExplorer, browse to /cache/ and copy the file to SD card, even without root!
[Moto G General] NoNameAtAll:
I tried with Root Explorer, but it still didn't let me. Probably due to lacking root permissions.

Sorry folks.
[Moto G General] Alejandrissimo:
What if I told you, that you can use roms?

[Moto G General] ZealotRush:

Hi where I can find the .zip in the phone in which folder is that thanx
[Moto G General] joel_sinbad:
Well, Happy Holidays everybody! Motorola has surprised us again with KitKat, I've softbricked my phone because I moved the wrong folders lol, but I'm going to revive it tomorrow, I'm drinking some Budweissers :) Cheers!
[Moto G General] synescu:

[Moto G General] hendykhanh:
When you up 4.4 via OTA . You lost root and custom recovery . Wait dev do root agian .

Update Hit AT&T SIM in NYC

Just hit my Moto G, umts.Retail.en.US. I'll grab the OTA files if anyone needs. I know we have repacks and a Global version coming, but just in case, let me know.
[Moto G General] greg787:
Just got the notification last night but each time it restarts during the install,it gets a quarter of the way through and then fails. Has anyone had a similar experience?
[Moto G General] kpfx:
Seeing the same thing here. Downloads, begins to install but fails (error) about 1/4 into the update.

I suspect it has to do with the root (I'm rooted, but using the standard unlocked boot-loader). I'll post an update if I can find any work-around without having to do a full wipe, but I'm pretty sure one of the more talented DEVs here will have a proper fix / update / patch shortly!
[Moto G General] antiquezip:
I've been struggling with this in the last 3 days

You guys will need to go back to stock recovery in order to install the OTA. How to re-flash stock firmware

Noticed: You'll need to use the Mfastboot v.2 to flash the system.img

After restored to complete stock - no more custom recovery, no more Superuser app installed. Go ahead and check system-update and download again and install.
[Moto G General] Jooosty:
Got mine !!!

Sent from my MOTO G!!!
[Moto G General] kpfx:
Thanks. Since I still have the stock recovery I was hoping to avoid a wipe. However, it looks like if we used Superboot to root, then it will fail.

Can anyone who has already installed the update confirm that Korean (한국어) can be now selected as language under Settings? I've bought the Moto G as a gift and I really like the phone but I need translated text across all menus... MoreLocale2 doesn't translate e.g. all the settings and Google apps.

Did 4.4.2 fix the problem with led which doesn't blink on missing calls at 4.3 ?
[Moto G General] ponxho:
It doesnt blink on 4.4.2 neither...
[Moto G General] denzel09:
It never ll blink on missing calls. It is set in this way by motorola. It s not a bug. I talked with motorola and they have confirmed. I don't know if in future they ll introduce also this feature. It's not a bug.
[Moto G General] S0bes:
and it's definitely a bug because the problem can easily be solved by this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager&hl=ru
[Moto G General] denzel09:
If you can solve that or other with an app this not means that it's a bug. It's not a bug. Motorola chose that led must not blink on missing calls. It's a choice, i talked with motorola and they have confirmed. I don't know if in future they ll reintroduce this feature also for missing calls.

For now if you want led on calls you must use an external app. But it's not a bug. It's a their simple choice. It is set in this way.

I can use Gravity to shut off screen automatically, without not. So without Gravity i have a bug? Come on.. :good:
[Moto G General] S0bes:
but it's ridiculous do not allow led blinking on missing calls :D The same thing with languages. "Ok, we'll make a great cheapest phone ever which will be a selling leader. All around the world will love it. But.. we have to cut some languages from it. For example, who will be use this phone in Russia? Right, nobody. "

And I think it's a little bug when your screen can't turn off automatically. It works perfect to me
[Moto G General] denzel09:
Yup, you re right it s a bit unsense, but it's a their choice. I talked with their in chat and they confirmed to me that it's a choice. I don't know why. I have not asked to them. But it's not a bug in the strict sense. This is important. Too many expectations from this phone.

I agree with you, it has not sense. I hope that in future they will add that also for calls :highfive:

LOL You do not understand to me :D I use Gravity to shut off screen when screen is on the table or in pocket istantantly and turn it on automatically without any input. So without this app i can not to do this in this way. It's a bug? Obviously not.

Mine was an example, a provocation.. :good:
[Moto G General] kpfx:
I think the logic with not blinking the LED with a missed call is similar to the behavior with standard "low-importance" notifications (i.e. software updates, WiFi notifications, etc).

Typically if I miss a call and its important, the caller will usually leave a voice-mail, TXT message, or email (which does blink the LED notification). Otherwise, I really don't want to have a blinking LED just because I missed some random un-important call.

Just my $0.02.... but hey, at least it can always be enabled with an app if that's a function you want.
[Moto G General] denzel09:
Agree ....

USB OTG

Kitkat killed OTG on the Moto X. So far I haven't seen anything online about the same for the Moto G. Has anyone had any problems with OTG since updating to 4.4.x?
[Moto G General] drfr:
No more native support for OTG here either. Need for 3rd party solution.
[Moto G General] DaveinAsia:
The following link is an article at Android Central accompanied by an infographic from HTC describing the different processes required for an Android update. Since we're talking about the 4.4.2 update - specifically the speed with which is was rolled out on the just released Moto G - I thought it would be interesting to show others HTC's own update route and wonder aloud how much more efficient the New Motorola is. My guess is the Moto G and X paths are somewhat akin to HTC's Google play and Developer Edition routes.

[Moto G General] nlra:
I think we all need to be *very* careful with how we define and use our terms. I just tested my XT1032 with the official KitKat OTA applied, and "OTG" absolutely does work. I tested it both with a USB keyboard as well as a USB audio DAC, and both things worked perfectly right out of the box.

I *suspect* what you meant is that you couldn't make USB external storage (hard drive, flash, SD card reader, etc.) work. I didn't try that. But "OTG" only refers strictly to the phone's ability to act as a USB host, and nothing more. It makes no claims about which USB devices it supports or has drivers built-in for. If you can't make external storage work, then say you can't make external storage work. But let's not confuse others by telling them that "OTG" as a whole doesn't work when it most emphatically does. Oftentimes, for other phone models, OTG as a whole absolutely doesn't work at all (meaning you cannot use ANY USB devices with it, period), and making the OTG part work on such phones is (more than) half the battle, assuming it is even possible. After you clear the OTG hurdle, you then start working on supporting specific kinds of USB devices, such as storage.

[Moto G General] Rusty!:
That doesn't make it a bug. There are lots of things stock phones don't do that can be added by third party apps.
[Moto G General] frojnd:
Hi there.

I was wondering if with kitkat GPS is fixed? I found this review: http://translate.google.com/transla...Test-Motorola-Moto-G-Smartphone.106672.0.html

Where you can see that GPS is not so accurate. Can someone confirms that gps is more accurate with newst version of android?
[Moto G General] theArchitektas:
I don't think it's a software problem. The GPS module on a dedicated GPS device, quite possibly, is better than the one on most phones, so accuracy differences are to be expected.

Now I'm sitting in my flat and Google Maps gets my location instantly, with a correction of ~5 meters, haven't really tried out it when traveling.
[Moto G General] gee2012:
GPS is dead on for me, XT-1032 8GB Germany Retail not rooted JB 4.3.

I received my Moto G 2 days ago and it received the update to Kit Kat as soon as I powered it on. This is my first android device since the original galaxy s. So excited to play with this thing!

For those that are so concern about the camera and how will it be after update - I've checked out and it seems that after the update the camera its a 12mpx ois and takes photo automatically for you as a pro / like they were taken with a DSLR / such camera. so sharp. many pixels. WOW!

SERIOUSLY NOW

Its a goddamn 5mpx sensor on a 170$ phone! As a reviewer said, you should be thankful and surprise that theres a camera at all at this price!

Yes, the default camera software may be not the best - buy hey, youre on Android you have like a zillion camera app alternatives!

Gosh... Im the only one around that just waits 4.4 for the software enhacements NOT related to hw?

[Moto G General] iamwyim:
Can you ask him about the ram consumption on the phone as well?

How many MB of ram use on the system at bootup?
[Moto G General] techguyone:
Word of caution for non US owners, some of the american phone radio bands are different, by switching it's possible you may get problems connecting with your carrier. On a different note, someone with the update could check if Miracast is now enabled?
[Moto G General] nupi:
Fair point, but Moto also sells the Global GSM one in the US, did that already get an update?
[Moto G General] drfr:
Scroll down the page, Global GSM gets update too. Should work fine on uk/de/fr retail, I suppose.

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/97632
[Moto G General] nupi:
Yeah that one ought to work just fine on the European ones. Now we just need someone to capture that OTA :)
[Moto G General] DaveinAsia:
What in particular would you be expecting?

I have used stock and developed ROMs of 4.4, 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 on my N4 and honestly didn't notice any significant improvement in my day-to-day use of the phone over when I had 4.3 installed. ART is interesting but again, no noticeable improvement over Dalvik. The only thing I did notice was less battery life which seemed consistent with the majority of N4 user posts I read.

That doesn't keep me from hoping for a better performing G, but I'm not sure where I would realistically expect to see a

significant

improvement. Hopefully it would be in a more efficient use of RAM and possibly the camera processing of jpegs.
[Moto G General] the|gamer:
The OTA Update is in: /cache/ after you searched for an Update and Downloaded it, you will find it there and with E.S. File Explorer you can move it to internal.SD /storage/sdcard0 and then uploaded it :)

Regards,

Deniz
[Moto G General] a1Pha:
Yup, and a CWM backup from an unlocked user would be great..
[Moto G General] darkeingel:
Hopefully people will not encourage those who receives an update to install it just for the sake of seeing the "better camera" and encourage them to try and find a solution and share it with the community.
[Moto G General] nupi:
I have a feeling we will get one in a couple of hours, it's night /early morning in the US right now...
[Moto G General] gandalf2013:
In Germany the update is available now

[Moto G General] gunnroseclose:
So can you extract the update/ota link for us ?
[Moto G General] miklosbard:
Did I read your title correctly, that the rollout started in Germany as well? What is your system version? Thanks
[Moto G General] danger2u:

nothing here
[Moto G General] PRNSTR:
I think the german G gets the small ota-update..

I got that one too.. it's not 4.4
[Moto G General] Kai Robinson:
So far no OTA has appeared on my phone - it repeatedly tells me there's no new update, if done via the phone, and Motorola Device Manager says the same thing.
[Moto G General] P650SE:
Nothing happening on UK devices yet. :(
[Moto G General] PRNSTR:
Seeing how Motorola anounced they will roll out 4.4.2 on US retail Moto G's, i'm guessing they will not be rolling out in other regions unannounced. ;)
[Moto G General] makcode:
The OTA for 4.4.2 is ONLY for the US Global and US GSM Models.

(Ordered from Amazon.com and Motorola.com)

German / UK / FR maybe at the end of december (if we have luck) else in january.

Also, you can't flash the original signed US Global firmware (of 4.3) over a european Moto G.

greets
[Moto G General] SickBeast:
People in Germany and France have been reporting that they are getting the ota update now. Do you know if I can flash the retail us rom over the Canadian Koodo rom with the bootloader locked?
[Moto G General] makcode:
They get only a small OTA for the 4.3, that fixes the APK bug and several GPS issues.
[Moto G General] darkeingel:
Probably they get the 14.91.11
[Moto G General] miklosbard:
That OTA is 14Mb and is NOT the KitKat one.

Oh okay thanks guys.

[Moto G General] NoNameAtAll:
Okay, my impressions of it. Note that some of it is conjecture as I didn't have much time with it. I myself also have a Moto X, so a lot of what I noticed is very similar.

*The phone is still snappy as ever. Kitkat did nothing to cause lag from what I can tell

*I did not get the chance to test the camera. Even then, I'm not about to upload pictures. Sorry, but I take anonymity pretty seriously. :P

*Google Experience Launcher now allows for one to say "Ok Google" at the home screen and open up the voice search. It's not quite as in-depth as the touchless control on the Moto X, but for most, I'd say it works

*ART Runtime is an option. I did not set my brother for that though as...well, it's not my phone. Expect the same stuff as with the Moto X or any other 4.4.x device with that as an option. Probably same battery gains or whatever as well as the same busted apps (WhatsApp for instance)

Also, I'm posting in his stead. Do note that he himself is diagnosed with Autism. Even though he's incredibly high functioning, this is still not his area of expertise, so I wouldn't be able to ask him stuff as he wouldn't know.

Lastly, I had not considered using logcat. Granted, I've never had any luck with it, but it's something to take into account for any others who get the OTA.

[Moto G General] Jkmoran:
The kitkat one? Someknows something about the ota in Brasil?
[Moto G General] drfr:
So I decided to give it a go and flashed Global US retail over my German G. Everything works fine, no OTA yet, though. As a side-effect I noticed that I lost access to phone testing through *#*#4636#*#*. Not that it would be a problem, just saying.

Edit: interesting reading on updates:

[Moto G General] eeshlikhith:
These problems were fixed with the 4.4.1 update.
[Moto G General] nupi:
Yes but no xposed and by extension no gravity box on ART (plus rather limited performance gains to start with). Not ready for prime time, in my opinion.
[Moto G General] denzel09:
Someone with 4.4.2 can see if there is the option in developer menu about runtime change from dalvik to art? Because about stock i see this option only on n5. For example on my n7 on 4.4.2 i have not that option. So...
[Moto G General] flibblesan:
That's why ART is hidden away because it's meant for developers to use and not consumers.
[Moto G General] nupi:
I thought that was pretty obvious by it being hidden in developer options :D
[Moto G General] antiquezip:
U.S version here. Updated OTA last night to KitKat 4.4.2

Confirmed loosing access to *#*#INFO#*#*

ART is an option in Developer. Running ART speeds thing up noticable. I used .5 scale in Window animation with Dalvik and change back animation scale to default (1) and noticed the same smooth with 1 scale in ART as with .5 scale in Dalvik.
[Moto G General] Jkmoran:
Motorola Brasil via twitter confirmed that the ota will be available in that country in January. So for now just US will have the ota.

Motorola Colombia also annuced that kitkat will be available in first trimester of 2014.
[Moto G General] yev49:
So 4.4 on Moto g will not look like 4.4 on Nexus 5 (oversized icons and lighter theme)?

[Moto G General] Rusty!:
As a Nexus 5 user, there isn't a lighter theme, and the larger icons are due to the 1080p screen (XXHDPI)
[Moto G General] joel_sinbad:
So... they're people around here that have the KitKat OTA and they can't share a backup or didn't save the .zip file?

Motorola Brasil said that on november when kitkat for u.s. customers was on schedule for january too.. I hope we'll get on next days too..

The icons are actually physically larger. It's a GEL feature.

They had given us (by us I mean Brazilians) a January date for the Moto X update, as well, and it's already rolling out ahead of the schedule. I'm pretty confident the G update will hit us soon.
