“As part of Lenovo, Motorola Mobility will have a rapid path to achieving our goal of reaching the next 100 million people with the mobile Internet. With the recent launches of Moto X and Moto G, we have tremendous momentum right now and Lenovo’s hardware expertise and global reach will only help to accelerate this,” said Dennis Woodside, CEO, Motorola Mobility.

[Moto G General] nickchk:
let me ask u,which oem or even nexus's gonna get beyond 4.4.2? no phone promised be updated after 4.4.2. why u so worry moto g not gonna update beyond 4.4.2,thats still early to tell.

if lenovo can make ibm from 3rd largest computer manufacturer to 1st in the world,why couldn't they do the same to motorola? i don't know why u guys so depressing.

we already brought moto g,so just enjoy as it is,a lot of rom in dev section and the community grow even bigger,moto g still the best budget

smartphone for now,period.

if you guys not happy about it,just sell moto g,get a samsung,sony,or htc,i'm happy and proud of my moto g. :)
[Moto G General] Glicerck:
I wonder how will affect this to bootloader unlocking-warranty, maybe Lenovo will not void warranty? maybe Motorola still voiding it?
[Moto G General] theoneofgod:
Huh, I'm talking the opposite of what you suggested. Read the thread man!
[Moto G General] nickchk:
then why you're feeling depressing?mind tell me?

what of the point the i mentioned was wrong?don't tell me to read back the thread,i can read fyi :silly:
[Moto G General] UnknownAX:
The whole Googlerola thing was absurd anyway, so this was to be expected. Think about it: Google had its own company that competed with all the other manufacturers who use Googles OS. That didn't really make sense so they got rid of it.

I hope they won't turn Motorola into Lenovorola, but they probably will. RAZR, MOTO, who knows what's next?

And this totally explains why there's a GPE of the near stock Moto G.
[Moto G General] alpine101:
Because Google are an advertising company, that's how they make their money. All their hardware efforts are just a minor part of the aim to selectively advertise to YOU on top of their software. If the hardware side is unprofitable, or, more significantly, is seen as competing with the OEMs to whom they provide their software, then it has to go.
[Moto G General] theoneofgod:
It's depressing because every comment here is about how Motorola let us down and that we won't be getting any more quick updates when they never said we would.
[Moto G General] FabioSan:
Yes, but Motorola had created a device with the correct quality/price, and no one, no one company did something similar at today. And Motorola has released so quickly the kitkat update, for example. Other companies no.
[Moto G General] theoneofgod:
I'm not complaining, I'm happy with my Moto G. I'm talking about other peoples reactions to the Lenovo situation.
[Moto G General] diegodru:
I must say that I'm really disapointed. Not because I own a Moto G. In fact, I don't think that Moto G will have any kind of problems with this.

My problem is with the future of Motorola. I was thinking that in late 2014 we would have a Moto G2, with the same low price. And that would force all the other OEM to release great budget phones too. But now, I don't think that's gonna happen. I think we have a great chance to see new Moto devices with almost pure Android like we have now (remember, Motorola's CEO is still the same and he is definetly aware that Moto G and X are products that people really love), but I don't think the prices will continue to be low as they are.

Still, everything is kinda uncertain right now. Worst case scenario, Motorola will bring back some awful Android skins, Samsung will keep selling those ****ty bloated phones, Nexus will come to an end and we'll have to look for something else. Nokia maybe???:rolleyes:
[Moto G General] BarnOwl:
Nexus will come to an end? So what? I'm hot happy with the situation either, but as long as Google makes Android a pretty good OS there is nothing to worry about for us.

The Moto G we've got is still an awesome phone for petty cash. With the 4.4.2 we have an excellent OS. Google or Motorola did not say they would give us the latest firmwares.

And we have this wonderful forum, there will always be a good OS available here...........;)
[Moto G General] zener773:
And just yesterday I got my Moto G. I feel bad for the people at the Motorola plant in Texas.
[Moto G General] ma3oony:
motorola promised us with 4.4

now we didn't just had 4.4 nor 4.4.1 but 4.4.2 !!!

i hope the company and google still supporting this device with latest OS, or i'll sadly root it to put the latest stock ROM from GPE if it wont arrive to regular Moto G :"(

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

i checked with Motorola CS, and they assured me that we'll get all KK updates officially so far, but he didn't comment on the speed nor the after KK releases

welp, that's better than nothing
[Moto G General] Faruko:
On a sub-200 phone i doubted from the start that we would get an update after KK, these low-priced smatphones are about 1 year cycle, if at all...

Most low end devices dont even get updates, we were really lucky Motorola updated the G to 4.4.2, even at 4.3 this as already way more updated that a lot of flagship devices of other companies
[Moto G General] degsie:
Goodbye Android updates, hello bloatware.....:(
[Moto G General] votinh:
I hope you understand that Samsung is a Korean company while Sony is a Japanese one and I do hope you know ZTC, Lenovo, Meizu, ..... are Chinese mfg.

I don't understand why you bring Sammy and Sony in here? or was I saying that Lenovo is competing directly with those Korean/Japanese anywhere?

GPE Edition: 18 months !
[Moto G General] theoneofgod:
Look what I quoted:
[Moto G General] Faruko:
Moto G GPE... US only, besides the Nexus 5, the avalaibility of the GPE devices are really bad (US only).

So i say the GPE edition is kind of an exception to the rule

But i do think the GPE should help us with cuatom roms down the road
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
I guess everyone here would just port gpe roms to get android updates not a big concern for XDA regulars

The real reason why this news is so ill took is the Romance of owning a Google Device with a Google os.....we are a bunch of google fanboys and so we automatically adore Moto

Thanks for bursting our bubble Google
[Moto G General] diegodru:
There are rumors about the Nexus line being discontinued in 2015...

But I don't think that's gonna happen. And if it does, Google will surely make something to compensate. Maybe more devices will have Play Editions...
[Moto G General] jaset_uk:
The Moto G is manufactured in China already...
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
Why do you feel bad for them? That facility has been a big success. It couldn't be shut down easily since the customization options they provide couldn't be duplicated by another plant in the near future.
[Moto G General] zener773:
I used to work for Motorola's iDen division at Plantation Florida during the early 2000s. There's a lot of uncertainty when this sort of thing happens, especially when there is the potential of outsourcing. Things ended for us rather quickly even though we had an efficiency ration at around 98%. We all did a great job, but I guess that wasnt good enough.
[Moto G General] kieranc88:
Guys you bought a phone that costs 100£ that runs kitkat,has a decent build quality and has a flourishing development community and your complaining over a business deal between two tech giants. Sure I was looking forward to a moto g 2 with LTE,but now that moto and Google have broken that barrier with the moto g more companies will follow, and with the success of the moto g why wouldn't lenovo want to follow it up with a similar priced next gen moto g?? They have the cheap Chinese manufacturing power to do it at a similar price.
[Moto G General] votinh:
What you quoted was quoting entire of my post.

Regardless of what you did, you meant Lenovo will produce CHEAP phone, sub-$200 like the G???

I don't think so.
[Moto G General] theoneofgod:
No, but I also don't think they will release expensive phones like the S4.

Moto X is expensive btw.
[Moto G General] Faruko:
Edit: erased

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Lenovo has a really really small % of consumers (Smartphones), if the Moto G manages to be successfully... And it means Lenovo can get a higher share of the market... Why would they change that ?

The first thing Lenovo needs to do its make a name for themself on the smartphone market, they have failed so far but if (like i said) the Moto G manages to be a success why would they scrap a potential G2 that would give Lenovo a better name/market share in the "smartphone world"
[Moto G General] mrcorey:
Google kept project Ara. So we might see some cool modular phones out of Google

[Moto G General] Pinsa:
Do you guys think we will get Android 5.0? If yes, do you guys think it'll be much later after it's launched?
[Moto G General] Angenit:
I think the same. Lenovo won't buy an entire company just to destroy it... They are clearly trying to make it work. Better this than LG which can be successful but never gives update to medium devices.

[Moto G General] bozzykid:
Short-term, it will make no difference. So whatever Motorola planned on doing to the Moto G will still happen. Lenovo doesn't even officially own Motorola at this point.
[Moto G General] ma3oony:
.....

sorry
[Moto G General] denzel09:
I read that motorola and lenovo will remain 2 separate companies
[Moto G General] FabioSan:
Good news: Motorola answer to my question (i'm italian) in terms of warranty and updates:

Because google have the patents of Motorola, Motorola is Android and, as such, will continue to receive updates, when present, and the guarantee will not change.

So good news :D

Inviato dal mio Super Motorola Moto G!!
[Moto G General] ma3oony:
so , GPE is out of stock for 16 GB !!!!!

i swear it was available some hours earlier today !!!!

do you think they'll restock again any time soon?
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
Sure. Why would they not? Lenovo doesn't own Motorola yet. Even if they did, it will not affect the GPE devices.
[Moto G General] centavar:
It's a common knowledge that Google acquired Moto primarily for the patent portfolio. Apart from that they barely involved themselves in Motorola, except for perhaps injecting irrecoverable funds into the Moto G project, for the sake of promoting Android further. So, no big surprises here.
[Moto G General] kellerman40:
When I read about this, I instantly flashed to cyanogenmod. I tought I no longer need that stock rom. I got tired of that stock 4.4 pretty quickly too :D Screw OTA, CM11 by dhacker is such such better and runs amazingly well.

They release such a good phone and then sell the company...
[Moto G General] theoneofgod:
The stock rom is great, and you changed because Lenovo bought Motorola? Something wrong there.
[Moto G General] kellerman40:
No. Mainly because it has tons of useful features. Im kinda a power user so I enjoy the blacklist, builtin torch, superuser integration and all the other handy stuff.But I disliked the fact that Lenovo bought Motorola. Who knows whats gonna happen with updates in the future. I like to stick with the latest firmware.
[Moto G General] lollerblade:
Updates will still be carried on by Google, as Motorola assistance said to FabioSan, since Google still owns Motorola's software patents. Don't worry about that. Here I copy and translate what they said:

Le confermiamo che Google detiene ancora le patenti relative ai software di sistema Motorola che rimarranno Android e verranno correttamente aggiornati alle nuove versioni (quando disponibili).

We confirm that Google still holds Motorola's system software patents, which will remain Android and will correctly be updated to the latest versions (when available).
[Moto G General] ezarc:
I'm not happy with the decision and it seemed to come out of nowhere which made it worse, like google had betrayed us somehow behind our back.

My first phone was a Motorola back in 97, then my next 3 phones were Motorola's until I started buying the flagship Nokia every year or 2 for the next 13 years after that when they lost me due to spending close to $1000 on the N97 and abandoned updates for it and left it full so full of bugs it was virtually unusable.

Since then I had a HTC Incredible S, a Nexus 4 and now a Moto G.

I was just about to go full circle and go back to being a loyal customer to Motorola due to a mixture of nostalgia and the promising recent devices they had made in partnership with Google.

I can't blame Motorola as its Google who stripped them for everything before kicking them to the kerb, but my predictions for the future of Motorola is no where near the high expectations I had over a week ago. It seemed they had just got on to a good thing that would be a game changer for the industry but now I feel like it's just 1 phone and 18 months later they won't be able to offer us anything of interest.

Lenovo phones are junk and Lenovo bring nothing to the table for Motorola.

Hopefully in the next 12-18 months Lenovo will make a Moto G2 that will blow the Moto G away and have the same price point, if not I think all we can expect is crappy ergonomics with buggy software and heavy skins on a phone in the same price range that's 100% Lenovo with a Motorola logo on it.

Is it just me or does anyone else get emotional (borelderline depressed) over this kind of thing?

I really need to care less...
[Moto G General] Angenit:
Yep.

I think most of you are overreacting and don't understand what patents are.. Lenovo won't change things easily while google keeps the root of Motorola.

I thought I'd come back here and check for news, turns out it's just as depressing as it was the other day, in fact, much worse!

All this reminiscing, Motorola Mobility was sold to Google how long ago?
[Moto G General] mazinya:
This makes the Moto G GPE even more valuable now
[Moto G General] BarnOwl:
Here's a good video explaining the deal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBXTLLFgDeo
[Moto G General] kellerman40:
Okay, thanks for the information. Hope the OTA updates will still be pushed when a new version of android comes out.
[Moto G General] votinh:
Nobody says that Moto products or the G in this case will never get updated, it WILL as any other mfg. The question remains to be seen as well as being discussed here is HOW LONG the G owners have to wait to see the update after Google releases their latest firmware. Got it? Nobody says it isn't getting it.
[Moto G General] wrj54:
I agree 100% especially considering there is very little or no blot-ware riding on top of the Android system. I can't imagine why Motorola/Lenovo would not want to keep their phones current and drive sales at least for the normal life cycle of the phone.
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
Motorola got early access to each new release at the same time as every other major manufacturer who is a part of the program. I don't see any reason updates will take longer. Plus, Google just made the announcement. Lenovo has not taken over Motorola as of yet. Things like this do not happen that quickly.
[Moto G General] OrionBG:
Guys, there is new information on the Motorola/ Lenovo deal!

It appears the Google will not leave Motorola unattended as they purchased a part of Lenovo the same day that they sold Motorola!

Now, Google have 6% of Lenovo!!!

[Moto G General] votinh:
Motorola CEO has announced his step down.

Someone still tell me that nothing change and Lenovo let Motorola running on their own.

Think again.
[Moto G General] Faruko:
Everyone and their mothers konws that the CEO would change... it happens every time a company buys another, they put someone they can 100% rely on, sometimes things dont change, sometimes they do... you cant be sure about either

And Lenovo wants Motorola to be a world-wide company going strong into newer markets, something actually Dennis wasnt so sure about it, mostly because Motorola didnt had the money for it (huge losses), Lenovo on the other hand, is one company that is rising YoY quite a bit and could bring huge influx of money so Motorola can make it to more markets

Give it time, nobody knows how things will go, as of now its pretty much a coin toss

and my Moto G (and X) is still going strong :)
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Lenovo has already proved with thinkpad business that they can convert a sinking business which is losing money like crazy into a profitable one and becoming the no.1 pc manufacturer of the world in the process

They are capable and optimistic and they can arrange cash at will

Google bought 750 million shares and we know Google never backs a losing horse!

I hope lenovo uses their cash to retain and expand the Motorola brand by giving them full creative freedom and not letting design and engineering being too influenced. They could probably focus more on the sales and services side if things

Will we still get android L ?

Current Device : Moto G XT1032
[Moto G General] republicano:
You guys shouldn't worry, they won't change moto g/x overnight google has a duty of care to its current users and lenovo knows they will need to keep raising the bar and retain its current customers if they ever want Motorola to succeed as a business, they spend >3 billion they want to see revenue,

Its good google sold it, they shouldn't undercut the market other than providing a vanilla experience to show guidelines of what android should be and allow other companies to contract into the play store edition.

Read the blog from the link above, they will continue to maintain the moto name

Is this possible using ProxyDroid? Assuming I've already added the Play Store and Chrome to the individual bypass category.

The Following is, I installed a custom rom here on xda-developers l3 e400, the name of the ICS rom 4.0.4 is Rayogenmod has 1GHz overclocking, no longer use the rom in the frequency of 800MHz standard, never change the frequency held perfectly installing the rom works perfectly, and sometimes freezes and restarts.

this standard is for a custom ROM? have any solution?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TahaX:
Most custom ROMs aren't very stable yet and can lead to your phone crashing every so often. If your processor is running at its standard speed, you shouldn't experience any problems with it. I have no idea which kernel you're using and therefore suggest that you don't overclock your processor to higher than 800 MHz as it can seriously damage your phone.
