[Moto X General] phositadc:
It's true though that the X has lost more value from release date in 6 months than nearly any other flagship I've ever seen. Yes that's because google and Motorola themselves have dropped the price. But even so, resell value for those who bought on release date has dropped well over 50% in 6 months. That's remarkable. Takes an iPhone about 2 years to lose that much value. Samsung and htc flagships don't drop that fast either, by a long shot.
[Moto X General] detonation:
I'm thinking the major discounts are going to level off...I can't really see Moto selling this phone for less than $300. It's possible it might eventually hit $300 off contract as the standard price, but if you keep your phone in good condition, I would think you would be able to net $200 for it in the summer (so $220-230ish before fees/shipping). That's what I'm hoping at least...
[Moto X General] Darth:
I've never bothered selling an old phone....I gift them to family and friends that have even older phones. ;)

But, based on current prices of the Moto x, I'd say we won't be getting too much selling them used later. I've seen used nexus 4's for almost the same as used Moto x's.....

Guess we'll see later. :)

[Moto X General] DogzOfWar:
After I got the Moto X, I sold my previous phone (the HTC Rezound) on eBay for $80 (although I included 2 spare batteries, and had it S-OFF with an unlocked bootloader).

That phone was in rough shape, and heavily used. I think $100 will be the absolute minimum the Moto X would go for. A nice, thin 4G phone with great battery life? You won't get $250 in July, but it'll still hold up pretty well.

One problem I see is with bizarro color combinations, and the effect that will have on resale value.
[Moto X General] Darth:
Never thought of that. LOL. Moto makers will be a tough sell. They'd have to like the color combination to even consider it. Personally if I saw a wood back phone in the classifieds, I'd be hitting the back button before I read a thing. No matter the price. Lol

Get a nexus 5. I was one of the first to buy. I just sold it on eBay for 399.95. It cost me about 50 bucks for a few months which basically was tax and shipping. Chances are you'll like it enough to keep it.

MotoX Developer Edition, Bootloader Unlocked, Rooted, Stock with tweaks!
[Moto X General] erikiksaz:
Definitely not true. Prior to the price drops, 16GB Moto X's could be found on swappa for roughly 450 dollars. Roughly about the same price on ebay, but I was able to snag a very lucky BIN for $400 for a 16gb back in November.

If you look at the most recent sold listings on swappa, most of them are still in the $350 range, which is plenty good considering they had their huge fire sale for $350 a month ago AND the $300 sale the other day.

Phones that are usually subsidized by the carriers and that are actually POPULAR, like the HTC One or S4, usually sell for much less at this point in time. Look on swappa's listings of sold S4s, they're all low 300s. Granted the phone has been out longer, but that's nearly a 250-300 drop in value. The X's used price hasn't changed very much in comparison, given that Moto dropped the price over 150 dollars over the past couple months.
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
That my friend is supply and demand. There isn't an abundance of used x's like every other phone yet. I don't even think Motorola sold that many new lol. Up until a few days ago second hand was the only way to get them overseas. Now that's not the case so I still say the prices will drop, but you're still better buying and selling at full price than subsidizing with Verizon or at&t. Especially if you switch every few months.

For the op however, I reiterate... Nexus 5

[Moto X General] detonation:
Will be interesting to see what the $300 sale does to the average resale price. The $350 cyber monday deal definitely lowered it more than normal (at least the Verizon version). It's also interesting to see Sprint version is currently worth $50+ less than other major carrier versions (Verizon, ATT, Unlocked).
[Moto X General] mrtwisted6:
This is starting to make me want to sell mine to buy a Dev. I too took advantage of a BF deal, but got mine for only $0.01+tax :laugh:

I would go for it [MOTO X] though, as you may like it, and want to keep it, considering the phones you mentioned swapping it for...I would just keep it until something better than it actually came out.
[Moto X General] @rbiter:
Bad bad comparison.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Moto X General] lensgrabber:
Think about us who bought the Dev Edition. I paid like $670 or something for it after shipping and taxes. Now it's probably worth $350 with some accessories. I'll probably end up putting mine up on Craigslist and get another Nexus 5.

If you are looking at a phone for better resale down the road the Nexus line is a good bet. I will admit though I didn't think the X would drop so quickly.
[Moto X General] dchu:
Is there a way to figure out what color phone it is without opening the box. Long story short i won a Motox and want to resell it, but i cant figure out if its black or white, no mention at all in box. its xt 1058 model.
[Moto X General] NJGSII:
Yes if you're the type of person who likes to just get a new phone more than twice a year then just buying out right and reselling is the way to go. These things are never to be taken as an investment. Like a new car off the lot, the phone losses value once you take it out the box and turn it on lol. The only circumstance where you might make money off one directly is if you buy something that just came out and then sold out. Has happened with the past two nexus devices.

I'd say re-sell value of this phone right now in good condition will be between $275- 299 usd. Off contract new they're going for $329.99 right now.

Untested

Currently I'm using the iLoome Flex 8H

amazon dotcom/gp/product/B00F4AT5Q6/[/url]

With the Spigen Slim Armor

amazon dotcom/gp/product/B00ELMXZSC/

They work well together but in the event of a crash I have no idea the protection they will give. However I can say they feel very nice together. The iLoome feels like real glass, the only thing that has bothered me even a little about the iLoome is the height... It's thin but you can feel the edges they are sharp when you rub your finger across them.. not cut your finger sharp but just there's glass there sharp. As for the case my only issue is the rubber around the screen doesn't come but a half a mm off the glass so if you dropped it... well it'd probably be about like this

BTW that iLoome 8H is currently only $17 where it's normally $30.

When I put mine on twice I had it off center/ over the rounded edge and I was able to lift it with tape and recenter it with no bubbles or dust getting under. Love it!

Currently using Mime Ghost Glass with a Ballistic SG1233-A065 Shell Gel

Screen coverage between the 2 is near perfect (Ballistic face lip and screen coverage). Very small space betweeen the two but good enough for me with my rough trade and lifestyle. Quick pic below, Note I installed SP slightly off center

Mime Customer Service is awesome. Packaging is great and you get a large screen protector like sticky prep pad to pull all dust etc.. off screen before Glass SP install.

I have had mime in the past for my HTCone and a I purchased one for my son also.Once the SP install failed when installing on my HTCone, was my very first time installing (My faullt rushing) and mime replaced it free of charge no questions asked. I also cracked the SP at work and mime replaced the SP at 40-50% off original price. Dont remember if it was 40 or 50% percent but fair deal either way in my opinion. Before I traded in my One for the LG G2 I had the Mime on for 2 months with zero issues. Mime was the Top SP of choice over in the HTCone forum for durability, feel, looks and Customer service, keep in mind the HTCone was/is a very hot phone with many users participating in the HTCONE XDA accessory forums speaking highly of mime. I am another vouching for Mime, great Glass SP for sure.

I also have the LG WCP-300 Wireless Charging Pad and it works awesome charging with the Ballistic case on. I know a bit off topic but these three items are top notch additions to the G2 in my opinion!! :good:
[G2 Accessories] Ryoma1337:
I've mentioned this in a few other threads as well, but you need to be dead accurate to install the iloome, which is extremely hard. I have it and installed it a little off so it does not cover the entire light up display portion and looks weird. I wouldn't really recommend it due to the fact that you need a surgeon's precision.

Another SP that seems to work out well is the Panzer Glass, but people are having trouble getting it in the states.

perfect timing! just got a G2 and been researching accessories all week. just received diztronic clear tpu case yesterday and car mount arriving this weekend. However, I've never been more conflicted about putting a SP on a phone before! The feel of the G2 is unmatched! I've never felt a phone screen so smooth...it's hard for me to want to cover it up, but I also know I'll need to if I want to keep it scratch-free. Which SP feels the most like the glass on the phone?
[G2 Accessories] fULL_:
No Tempered glass protector can cover the entire screen since the curved edges. Im using the glass-m and that protects the entire DISPLAY area, not from edge to edge at screen tho. At first i thought this would suck but you dont think of it really.

Hi everyone, new guy here.

I'm rooted and currently running 9.18.79 with Verizon. I'm trying to install the 9.18.94 OTA update, but it fails everytime. After I select "Install Now" it reboots and starts to install, but then I get the Android robot on its back with the red triangle. The phone then reboots again and I get a message that says the software update failed. What's the secret to updating when rooted (while also making sure to still have root access afterward)?

Thanks...
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
You cannot be rooted or you must hide root w/ voodoo or super su. Also you must use stock recovery.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
the update will not

actually

fail if you are rooted, although it may report failing.

if it actually fails, you can obviously see it doesnt go through the process, then there is some other factor causing it to fail.

some things that would cause it to fail all together are: non stock recovery, freezing any bloat, removing any bloat, pretty much any modifications to the stock software other than rooting will cause it to fail.

once you have any system deficiencies fixed, use voodoo from the market to protect root and temp unroot before taking the update.

if you cant figure out what you did to the system to fix it, you may want to re-flash using the proper utility for your current system, re-root, protect and temp unroot through voodoo, then try the update again.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filmfanatic09:
Thanks for the replies.

The primary reason I rooted in the first place was to remove a ton of unwanted bloatware, so at this point it's not even close to resembling the stock software. What are my options? Do I really have to re-install everything I deleted, or is it possible to flash the whole system back to stock?

I apologize if this has been answered before, I've been searching the better part of the afternoon/evening and haven't been able to find anything that is exactly what I'm seeing.

I have been running Jellybeans ROM for months, but recently it has been giving me fits, so I thought I'd try out one of the newer 4.4 ROMs. I have not done the 4.3 OTA update, so I figured it would be pretty easy. Here's the issue. I can install the 4.3 stock ROM without the firmware, or the Jellybeans ROM, I assume any 4.1.2 ROM. If I attempt to install any of the 4.4 ROMs, the installation aborts immediately with the following error:
