[Moto G Accessories] angomy:
Well, my case arrived today --- even though I paid for regular shipping, like others here, they shipped it 2-day and I got it this morning.

Including photos of the chalk version next to my white Ringke Slim case (ignore the background, it's a couch throw blanket)

Overall impressions -

Solid build, as to be expected of a Moto accessory it fits the phone perfectly. There is definitely no "clicking" to let you know the case is seated properly so I'm not sure if it actually clicked into the back of the phone or if it's held together by the rubber strip. Instructions show only to press down on 6 points on the front of the phone after insertion (no text in instructions) which I did repeatedly.

The "chalk" version is not 100% white. I'm not sure if you can tell from these photos but it's actually less pure white than the Ringke (the Moto Grip is slightly yellower/darker when put next to the Ringke, you won't notice if it's by itself). In terms of texture, it's exactly like the original black back cover. So more grippy than the Ringke, but also looks like it'll acquire and hold stains much easier.

The rubber strip going around has a smooth, hard texture (it's actually less grippy than the back part) so I don't think it'll catch much when going in pockets.

I really like the covered power button / volume rocker as it adds more protection (and also my power button is a bit wobbly and it hides that), but they are much more prominent now so I'm more likely to turn on the screen by accident from the power button getting nudged if I have it in my pocket.

None of the ports are covered. I'm still able to use a headphone dust plug without any obstruction issues.
[Moto G Accessories] eljueta:
Can you make some pictures of the blue/green shell on the phone? I'm tempted to buy one but I can't decide between that and chalk :x
[Moto G Accessories] kellerman40:
These shells are very nice, a friend of mine bought one and it feels fantastic in hand. Although you can't get cheap ones like originals on ebay (as far as I know).
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
I'd still like more pictures and detailed reviews (angomy was ok but too brief)

I'm still unclear if the backs snap on like the normal back or if its the sides that keep it on etc

[Moto G Accessories] digitalmahdi:
anyone living in asia got this? why isn't it anywhere like amazon or ebay :(
[Moto G Accessories] kellerman40:
We probably need to wait for some cheap ones to appear. I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/111241765228 instead to protect my phone from scratches, dust'n'stuff...

Hi guys, You can find the motorola g grip shell on amazon.de, regards

Not yet........pre-order
[Moto G Accessories] papatiago:
Exact sorry for my mystake!
[Moto G Accessories] digitalmahdi:
Well I bought some cheap case already but it does not cover the upper and bottom of the phone. I cannot use such thing which you are using. I tried those kind of cases before.

Amazon.de does not ship gripshells to Asia.
[Moto G Accessories] James Randi:
Is it correct that the motorola.com shop is the only place to get the grip shell at the moment?

I know amazon.de has it listed, but only as pre-order.

I was about to order the moto g + grip shell and have a friend bring it from the US but the motorola shop only accepts US credit cards. Bought the phone from amazon.com now but still want the grip shell... :(
[Moto G Accessories] angomy:
Just an update on my previous (brief) review of the moto g grip shell (specifically chalk one)

- The material that the back part is very much a dirt magnet --- I keep the phone in my inner coat pocket or in a subpocket of my bag with nothing else, and it's still managed to acquire some black smudges that takes some elbow work to remove entirely. I didn't have this problem with the Ringke Slim case which has less of a grit to it (dirt slid off it rather than getting embedded). I somewhat regret purchasing the chalk over a different color as I've had to regularly rub marks off of it.

- While I'm pleased with the 1mm clearance for the screen, I'm not so pleased with the lack of clearance for the back camera as any sand etc on a table would come into contact with it -- there's barely a lip for the camera and so I find myself facing the phone down a lot to avoid any potential camera scratches, not ideal since I can't see any notification LEDs. Perhaps I'm being a tad paranoid.

I know the point of this accessory is more of a "back plate replacement with some extra protection" rather than a full-blown case, but I'd have taken an extra 2-3mm of thickness to add more protection to the camera via thickening the back plate than what they did.
[Moto G Accessories] kemoran:
As far as the dirt is concerned do you think it would be better if you had another color such as the blue or the red one? Is the case from the same material as the original black cover cause I don't like the fact that my fingertips appear in the back everytime I touch it? Btw is it possible to tell me the dimensions of the package where the case was in when you purchased it?
[Moto G Accessories] angomy:
I think dirt would hide better on the blue or red, but I prefer neutral colors for my cases (black or white pretty much). From what I can tell, the material is the same exact stuff and texture that the normal black back of the Moto G comes in -- feels exactly the same

You're in luck, I still have the original package since I'm storing the original black back + my old Ringke case in it :P Dimensions are (used a ruler so perhaps not 100% exact) 7 & 3/8th inches x 4 & 1/8 inches x 3/4 inches (18cm7.3mm x 10cm5mm x 1.9cm):

(ignore the stuff inside, that's the original back + Ringke Slim case)
[Moto G Accessories] Kostakis07:
Hey guys, I'm getting my moto g tomorrow and I'm also getting a case... I like the grip shell case but amazon says pre-order only... Weirdly enough some people posted reviews of the case which means they bought it from there... WTF??? Anyway if someone received the case from amazon.de please let me know
[Moto G Accessories] BarnOwl:
Well, if you just check on the reviews at Amazon.de, you know exactly who got it..........waiting for the last 4 weeks.

I actually bought two other cases cause I do not believe they will ever come......:eek:

[MENTION=4051868]angomy[/MENTION]: thanks a lot! you even did the conversion from inches to cm... It seems almost like the perfect case, if only it had the texture of the flip shell... I know, you can't have everything!
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
Those reviews on the German Amazon site Amazon.de are not actually for the grip shell but the flip case. Go figure, google translate for the win.

Who knows why the two products have been mixed, maybe its to fool people into thinking the grip shell is going to be awesome.
[Moto G Accessories] Albertini:
native german speaking here. the flip shell/shell/grip shell all are "one" product on amazon.de - you choose the variant and color when you order them via drop down menus. kind of silly, because you have to read each review to figure out for which of those three cases it really is.

so far nobody got a grip shell...only reviews for shell/flip shell.

Greetz!

[Moto G Accessories] amrulicious:
how about the rubber part? is it black or dark grey?

The TPU part looks black except in bright direct sunlight (like any other black really). I put up two "black" comparison photos (in the shade no direct light, in direct bright sunlight) in my review thread.

Any idea what might be the problem of spots and low definition when i made videos in 720p (in 480p works fine)?

I can't seem to get "assist" to not accept calls while in sleep mode. All calls ring through no matter what. I have "silence" checked and if I set the time from 7am-5pm when I test it with another phone the call comes through. The phone number I am calling from is not marked as a favorite. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] jimmyz80:
I've found this feature to be so buggy that it's not even usable. I had the same problem as you, and read tips online that say to reset the app data. I did that, reconfigured the app, and then sleep mode worked as advertised. Next day, busted again. If you want to reset the app every day, that seems to be the only way to get it to work. Lame...

I rooted my phone and installed the cyan fox rom in December and it was working flawlessly, but yesterday it would randomly shut down and then get stuck in a boot loop or wouldn't boot up. So i installed a stock rom and there are no problems with that. Today I installed cyanogen mod on now the problem is coming up again. I have tried wiping dalvik cache, factory resting and that doesn't seem to do much.

I hate how much hangouts lag and I know that the 8sms app from the play store is pretty close to a stock messaging app, but does anyone know why installing the mms.apk from CM11 or Gummy 4.4.2 wouldn't work? On both of them I get an "App not installed" message when I try to run them straight out of es file explorer. Is there something that I am missing?

Have you tried unzipping the ROM, placing the apk in the system/app folder, re-zipping, and flashing the new package?

That did the trick. Thanks for the suggestion.

No problem. The error was caused by the file permissions. Repackaging the ROM with that apk is the fast, easy, and painless way of getting it installed with the proper permissions.

For future reference, you can drop the APK in /system/app then go into CWM > advanced > fix permissions.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isibix:
Hi,

I have a Defy "Green lens" (don't know if it still matters) with the build 29.12.13 + the update patch.

All my apps are linked to my SD card with Link2SD.

Everything is working fine for me (e-mails Gmail, e-mails Exchange, WIFI, Camera...) except Spotify.

Each time I try to open Spotify, it begins to synchronize my music and my phone reboots... :(

I read that it was a good idea to limit the CPU to 800Mhz with this build so I did it but there is no change.

Does anyone has an idea what I can do to be able to use Spotify?

Thank you for your help!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isibix:
Now everything is working

Hi,

I reply to myself to find easily what I have done and also to give a feedback of the build of 25 May 2014.

1) Since January 2014 I didn't update my phone and I was waiting for good feedback of a build.

So since January 2014, no more music on my defy, some automatic reboots due to telephony issues, a black screen during a few seconds before being able to answer a call...

2) One month ago I bought a new battery (Motorola BF5X) on Amazon because I had too many problems with my original one (3 years old now :))

This was a good idea because even with a non stable ROM, the battery usage at the end of the day was something like 50 to 60% for a lot e-mail, newspapers sites and some little videos. Before buying the new one, after 1PM my phone was at 80% of battery usage...

3) Impossible for me to get rid of the "setup wizard crash" with the 2 workarounds:

1. After flashing only the nightly (i.e. without gapps) do the first boot and then flash gapps after the first boot.

2. After flashing both nightly and gapps, when in setup wizard scroll down the status bar, then touch on the date, it will send you to sign on Google, after you sign just reboots and wizard will works just fine.

--> I was obliged to remove the file system/priv-app/SetupWizard.apk before flashing to solve the problem.

4) Installation steps

1. Flash "safewipe.zip"

2. Flash "cm-11-20140525-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip"

3. Flash "GappsForDefy-CM11.0.zip".

5) Installation of software

1. Link2SD

2. Aerocontrol

3. All the others

6) Syncing agenda problem

1. I'm able to sync from my google calendar on my laptop to my defy but not in the other direction...

2. I finally found a guy (Measel) who was talking about this problem (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49867025&highlight=calendar#post49867025)

3. I followed what he said --> Flash the file "5-22_AOSP_Calendar_Sync_4.4.2_signed.zip"

7) Everything is working fine! Even Spotify :)

Thank you to all developers!!!
[Moto G General] badkitties:
I know this is going to sound stupid, but I wanted to listen to FM Radio on the Moto G using my bluetooth stereo headset.

I took an old earphon and just cut it, leaving about 8 inches hanging from the audio jack. It worked fine as an antenna.

For some odd reason, my Bluetooth headset wasn't getting any audio from the FM Radio app. I started another audio app and played a MP3. Then the audio from the FM Radio started getting mixed with the MP3. I closed the MP3 and then the radio played fine.
[Moto G General] paulzie:
Can you elaborate on the exact steps and software you are using to get this to work? I've connected external headphones/speakers to my audio jack to act as an antenna, starter the FM app, then started another MP3 playing app (Apollo, poweramp, Google Music) and cannot get the 'mixing' affect you are describing. Am using 4.4.2.

The only revolutionary thing I've discovered is I can use the Google Play "HF Button" to route the FM radio out the moto g speaker rather than external headphones.

Would love to get FM radio routed out my bluetooth headphones.
[General Questions and Answers] just.garet:
My technique for managing many photos:

download photos from my phone to to my computer then delete them from the phone,

crop, and edit on my computer

import only the best ones back to my phone.

When dealing with many photos, this is actually much faster then trying to edit and crop many photos on the phone.

The problem is, whenever I import photos to my phone from my computer, the gallery apps, including the stock Android gallery app, sort photos by the date modified or imported to my phone, not the date taken. So my photos taken last year will be sorted by the time I exported from my computer, not the time the photo was taken. Other than using Quick Pic does anyone have a way to fix this?

I'm using a Sony Xperia Z1 and a Nexus 7, and HTC One before that, and all of the native gallery apps had the same problem.

Hi Guys,

Got a question. I am thinking of investing in a copy of MS Voice Command so that i don't have to setup voice tags for a lot of my contacts. At the moment when i press the green dial button on my CK3000 i have to say one of the voice tags. From what i have read on here it looks like it is possible to get Voice Command to start instead of the internal voice tag system. Is that correct?

If this is right, then it looks like a worthwhile bit of software for my MDA Vario.

Thanks

Yes you can change it with a registry edit.

Great Hack; however....

GReat Hack. It works beautifully on my MDA. I use a parrot CK kit modified to interface with the BMW bus. Here is what I can do now:

1/ When pressing the phone button I can dial using voice commands throught the BT!!!! commands are captured through the bt command and audio is played through my car speakers!

2/ I can start an application by pressing the same button (still throught BT)

3/ the tomtom navigator 5 prompts are played throught the car speakers!

Only glitch: After the voice prompt such as: "turn right" has played my car stereo does not automatically return to the audio program I was playing (radio, cd....)

Does this have to do with the value not set for "default" ?
