[Moto X Q&A] leffer:
I have a Verizon Motomaker Moto X on 4.4.4.

I tried the T-Mobile test drive with the iPhone5s...

I was able to switch the sim from the iPhone into my Moto X with minimal issues. Just changed the network to Global. Got 4G and fast data. After making some test calls and texts I knew I would be safe to switch to T-Mobile.

The only weird thing I've noticed that is not an issue at all is when I make or receive a call. The signal switches from 4G to HSPA+, but after the call it switches right back to 4g. No problem.

Yesterday I proudly dropped Verizon for T-Mobile and all I had to do was pop in the new T-Mobile sim.

Running T-Mobile today on a Verizon Moto X and I think it's hysterical. Verizon can go screw. :highfive:
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
That's actually not weird at all. Until VOLTE is implemented, calls cannot be made or received over LTE. The phone MUST switch down to UMTS (HSPA+) in order for your voice traffic to reach the network. If your network used TDD-LTE (Time division duplex LTE), it probably wouldn't need to switch. Nonetheless, it is a hardware limitation that causes the "switch" to be necessary.

Glad you are enjoying your new service! Hope you're saving lots of cash.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
When the Verizon X (XT1060) is used on GSM carriers, it will fall back to H/H+ data when a voice call is in progress. That is normal. Btw, the ATT iPhone does this too.

Also keep in mind there is a difference in the definition of "4G"

For Verizon, they use EVDO for their 3G, and their 4G is 4GLTE. Nothing in between.

But for T-Mobile and ATT... They use UMTS/HSPA as 3G, and they have HSPA/HSPA+ which is faster than their 3G, so they call it 4G. And the also have 4GLTE. So for them, 4G can mean either HSPA+ or LTE.

Question...

My VZ Moto X has an unlocked bootloader... This doesn't mean I'm free to flash anything though right? The ROM still has to be compatible with the Verizon variant?

My question, now that I'm using a Verizon Phone on T-Mobile is, could I flash a T-Mobile ROM? Or would that brick my device?

How does that work?
[Moto X Q&A] ericizzy1:
I have developer edition Verizon moto x that i eant to use on tmobile, i would also want to hack the hotspot and get unlimited hotspot, what would be the best rom for the tmobile network?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Be absolutely sure you don't downgrade and you will be fine.

We don't normally advise to flash another carriers ROM, because it is too easy to accidentally downgrade.

T mobile is on 4.4.3, so do not flash that if your vzw ROM is already on 4.4.4 or you can/will brick.

You might consider using the "stock flashable tmo ROM" in the android Dev sub forum. That is the only one you can safely flash if you are already on 4.4.4.

The reason it is safe is because it ONLY includes /system and /boot and therefore you are not downgrading the partition table or bootloader.

It must be flashed with twrp recovery. Follow the instructions in the original post of that thread.

It is located here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/rom-stock-flashable-t-mobile-t2773675

Also, you MUST disable ota updates or you will brick when the next T-Mobile ota update is released. Only applies to the rom linked above.

Always take great care with ota updates once you have changed firmware. My recommendation is to never take ota updates. Instead, wait for a new safe flashable ROM to be released.
[Moto X Q&A] leffer:
Is this rule (don't downgrade) specific to the switching of carrier firmware? Or just in general?

For example, If I was to flash older Verizon firmware that would also brick my device?

I'm not sure I want to do it yet. But thanks for all the information.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Any variant, any ROM, downgrade = brick. Doesn't matter if locked or unlocked.

Don't do it no matter what.

Only exception is twrp flashable Roms that only include system and boot.
[Moto X Q&A] ericizzy1:
Want to use my verizon de moto x on the tmobile network, what would work better, stock verizon 4.4.4 or the 4.4.3 tmobile rom you pointed to?
[Moto X Q&A] Maverick0984:
It sounds like the Verizon 4.4.4 version is what you should use.

Does anyone know of a way to block OTA updates without root once you've moved a VZW Moto X to TMobile? I have a rooted dev edition so I'm sure I could do it fairly easily but my wife has a non-rooted, non-dev edition and if I switched to TMobile, I'd like to not have to rebuy phones and need to keep the WAF up as much as possible, meaning completely disable the update instead of telling her not to take it.
[Moto X Q&A] x000x:
a little off topic but how well does a verizon moto x work on at&t? I'm guessing you won't get 4glte at&t service with it, but would it at least get HSDPA? or HSDPA+ ?
[Moto X Q&A] adiktivedrumz:
Im using a vzw moto x on straight talk using att network and I got lte during a trip to Los Angeles. But I normally get hspa+ where I live.
[Moto X Q&A] x000x:
Thanks, did you have to manually input an at&t apn? or did it switch automatically?
[Moto X Q&A] adiktivedrumz:
I had to input the correct APN settings when I switched to straight talk. I'm not sure if Kit Kat does it automatically now.
[Moto X Q&A] mikeschevelle:
Anyone been able to get their VZW running on TMo to set up Google Voice or YouMail?
[Moto X Q&A] tonkafire:
My vzw x works 100% on tmo

I have a vzw moto x and i've been using it on tmo since may. hangouts was updated a few days ago and they synced hangouts with google voice.see if that works.
[Moto X Q&A] FlyingBOat2:
How about the MotoX Gen2?

Will Verizons Moto X gen 2 work on TM?
[Moto X Q&A] tonkafire:
Yes it should. Any LTE phones should be able to work with any carrier. I currently have T-Mobile with 4 lines and they are all Verizon phones. Moto X, S4, HTC One, Iphone 5S. all work voice, sms, mms, and 4G lte data. 4g lte date works 90% of the time. then it says H+ for data the other 10%. but it still runs pretty fast.
[Moto X Q&A] FlyingBOat2:
But didn't everyone need to jump through hoops to get Moto X to work? And still not sure what that was from reading this thread, if needed to flash, do 4.4. update or not, etc., and now it works fine?

The Moto X 2nd Gen is Volte if that makes any difference. I am planning to buy from Verizon and then move to TM. I am thinking I would be better off buying a different phone from Ver and sell it then, then wait for the Moto X 2nd gen to come out for TM. But if I knew the Ver Moto X 2nd Gen worked for sure, I would go straight to that and save the hassle of selling and needing to wait until it comes out for TM.

I suppose the other option would be to buy the Moto X, use it for a bit on Ver, then try it on TM and sell it as used instead of just selling it as NIB. I also don't want to go through a year of trying to get this to work right on TM.
[Moto X Q&A] Gtech145:
There was an issue on the VZ Moto X with the LTE handoff for T-Mobile. That was fixed on the stock 4.4.4 ROM for VZ Moto X. As far as I know the VZ Moto X works perfectly fine on T-Mobile LTE now.
[Moto X Q&A] FlyingBOat2:
OK, thanks. I am going to try for the Moto X 2 then.
[Moto X Q&A] natezire71:
I have a Verizon MotoX (retail version) and I skimmed through this thread. It sounded like I could put a T-mobile SIM in my MotoX and it would work fine. However, I can't get data, send texts, or make calls. If someone texts me, I get it fine; if someone calls me, I get the call.

I had my mobile settings set to Global but that didn't work. I manually entered my APN settings and that didn't work either. I'm rooted and am using Safestrap. Currently on 4.4.2. Any help?

Edit: I'm able to make calls and send texts if I set the Preferred network type to "LTE / GSM / UMTS" and make the "Select network" to "GSM Only". But still don't have data...

Edit 2: Now I have H+, but no LTE. I have the same Network type selected, but changed the network to "UMTS only".
[Moto X Q&A] drdeathly:
wifi calling?

I'm using my VZW DE Moto X on t-mobile and mostly it works well. Can I enable tmo wifi calling (other than using hangouts dialer)? Is there a ROM that I could switch to that would make my phone more t-mobile native? Also, when I try to use codes to enable/disable call forwarding I get some message about Verizon. Confusing.

Thanks,

[RAZR i Themes and Apps] Beamer.e36:
Hi Folks,

I just wanted to know if there's a launcher that shows the app shortcuts

either ONLY

on the

Homescreen or in the drawer

when it has not been placed on the Homescreen. For Example the telephone app has no function in the drawer, because its always on the main side of the Homescreen.

I would find this very useful!

thanks in advance

P.s. after posting i realized that this is not the right forum for this but i don't know how to delete or transfer it. Sorry bout that dear Admin.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] alienyd:
nova launcher? or apex? you choose to hide things which are in a group from appearing in other groups.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] Beamer.e36:
I know that you can hide Apps in the drawer. But i don't really get what you mean with hiding groups. I want Apps to AUTOMATICALLY "hide" when i place an app to homescreen.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] servalan:

[General Accessories] thmes:
Thanks for the review.

Question about pairing:

Would it be possible to set up a tasker task to automatically pair my phone to it? Or does the device require me to do something?

Thanks!
[General Accessories] vectron:
Typically with this or any other wireless/bluetooth speakers you just need to pair it up once. After that, every time you turn the power on it will connect automatically. No need to pair it up again or do anything else.
[General Accessories] savannahluis6:
I can also recommend checking out Fragstore if you're looking for good-quality gaming souvenirs. They offer a wide choice of those, and the delivery is fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SpyroDazee:
If at all possible, can someone upload a system image of 4.3?

if you're rooted and on 4.3 OTA, you can use adb with

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/debrick.bin bs=1024 count=81920

or flash this in recovery (will probably need to use stock recovery)

https://www.copy.com/s/1ggUuyIqHUrF

If you're wondering why I'm inquiring about an .img

for reference, if it works for them. Then it MAY work for vzw and it'll help some unbrick.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I just got my Moga Hero Power controller today, and I've been playing with it for the past couple of hours. This is one seriously awesome toy. For those unfamiliar, it's a bluetooth gamepad that has a built in clip for holding your phone, and a lot of games have native support for it so theres no need to map buttons out like with sixaxis. It even has an HID mode for games that don't have native support.

Another cool feature is that it's got a built in rechargeable battery that not only powers the gamepad, but through a USB port on the back it can actually charge your phone as well for extended gaming sessions. Pretty neat feature. The Hero has an 1800mah battery and the larger Pro version has a 2200mah battery. It even comes with a short micro usb cable for it.

To use the controller, you need to download the Moga Pivot app from the play store. It pairs the controller with your phone, and also helps you to find Moga compatible games. There is quite an extensive list of compatible games, and it is growing daily. Developers clearly have taken a liking to the Moga, and that is very good news for you and I.

So far I've played N.O.V.A. 3, NFS:MW, and Wild Blood with it. N.O.V.A. 3 is a little tough to control, I think it might be easier to play without the controller, but both NFS and Wild Blood benefit immensely from this thing. Wild Blood is like a completely different game when using the Moga. My problem with N.O.V.A. might be that the analog sticks on this controller are pretty small and it's real easy to over aim so it's hard lining up good shots. And when there's a ton of enemies on screen it gets REAL difficult. I'm considering getting the Pro version because it's the size of a normal gamepad with normal sized analog sticks, just didn't want to plop down $65 for something I was unsure of. After using the Hero Power today, I am definitely sure of it now.

Kind of a quick little review, I'll probably type up a full one after using it for a few days. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, and a full recommendation. Buy it, it's amazing.

If you want to check out what games are compatible, go here- http://www.mogaanywhere.com/games/#/platform/apple/android/flag/toppicks

Games that I've tested with the Moga:

N.O.V.A. 3

Need For Speed: Most Wanted

Shadowgun

Wild Blood

Asphalt 8

Asphalt 7

Dungeon Hunter 4

Wraithborne

Riptide GP 2

[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Got it from amazon for $48. Worth every penny, believe me. I was gonna buy a Nvidia Shield but once I found this it made the Shield completely pointless (aside from the few tegra exclusive games). It quite literally turns your phone into a full fledged portable gaming console, and on the N5's 5" screen, it's just awesome.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Doukeyakusha:
Hey, thanks for this! I have been eying one myself. Are you able to test if it works with emulators like drastic, epsxe, and such? thanks again for your mini review! Nevermind, I answered my own question. Here's this info from a review on amazon for the pro version:

Awesome :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
No problem. I haven't tested it with any emulators but like the review you found says, it works with a bunch. Remember, it has an HID mode so I'd imagine you can make it work with just about any emulator.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Erica Griffin does a really good review of the Moga controllers. She uses a Nexus 5 on her Android portion of the review as well.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] B29Korn:
Sorry for that propably noobish question, but does it connect using bluetooth like most of the other controllers do or by using the cable?

Or is the cable for charging purpose only?

Nice review so far, I think im gonna get one of those guys :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Bluetooth. The cable is for charging only. There's an app you download called Moga Pivot that pairs the controller to the phone.

It's identical to the Hero Power except it has a larger battery and is a full sized controller. It also comes with a stand for a tablet.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
I'm probably going to pick one up myself. I might go hero though, don't think I need the full size pro.

I do find it hilarious though how nvidia was boasting all this about shield, spending so much on r&d only to be bested by a smaller company that released a controller that can be used by everyone. And the best thing is you're not limited by the hardware of the shield. You buy a new phone and boom you've just upgraded everything.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
My thoughts exactly. The Shield is pointless when things like the Moga are a fraction of the price and completely future proof. A year from now the Shield will be considered low spec, and I'll still have my Moga with whatever superphone is available at the time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Caelrie:
I wish they would make that arm extend just a bit more so I could fit my nexus 7 in there.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
That would be pretty badass but it's about an inch too short. I'd imagine though that it would be somewhat awkward because of how top heavy it would be. I'm gonna try and rig something up for mine, I'm sure I can figure something out. I do know that you can fit an Xperia Z Ultra in it, that's gotta be an incredible gaming experience.

That's not the Pro Power, that's just the older Pro model. Different physical design, and doesn't charge the phone. That's why it's so cheap. Still worth it, IMO.
