moto g is not available in my country so I gonna travel to suadi arabia. please some one led me to where can i found this phone in suadi arabia only for single sim x1032 version?tnx:D
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroBoy89:
If I were buying a phone to use overseas, I would just buy it online through Motorola or amazon. Those are the places you can buy the unlocked international gsm version, whereas most retail stores carry the CDMA version, at least that's how it is in the U.S. I wouldn't buy it in Saudi Arabia as their prices tend to be high, so ordering it online would be the cheapest option and shipping times aren't too bad; about 1 week or less.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapnix:
you can go to EXTRA or in BATHA ( if you know that place ) there in sony building on the 3rd floor you can see lot of shops selling moto g. But all this one is in dual sim which is international version.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali.sbi:
tnx for your reply.you mean that i can't find single sim?i only want single sim dual is useless for me.:( and what's the price for moto G in saudi arabia?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pir4t3:
i think it's for 899 SR for 16 GB or 799 SR for 8 GB from Jarir Bookstore

do you where we can buy some of this cover for our moto g?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pir4t3:
at the same store .. Jarir

but if you wanna buy moto g from them .. i don't recommend it .. it's xt1033 " dual sim " .. for me i don't like dual sim because you can't install roms " not all the roms here are compatible with this version "

[General Questions and Answers] alturic:
Ok, so I've been using root (and CyanogenMod since v10 was released) and I've done more flashing to other versions that I can count but I swear I used to never have "storage space" problems before.

Needless to say without using programs like link2sd or anything am I just not remembering the past correctly? I swear Cyanogen/AndroidOS used to just inherently write to free space on the mSD when internal memory was full (and of course you could manually Move to SD Card/Phone as well) but lately either I'm using too many apps or of the course of flashes and formats to the SD card I busted something...

So the only reason I THINK(?) it's because of something I did is because CWM 6.0.4.6 shows errors of "Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found" and "Can't partition non mmcblk device"?

The question I suppose is is there anyway without link2sd (or the like) to have programs automatically get placed on the mSD card when internal is full? I assume that's a pretty "normal" feature, no?

I feel as though it's something I did wrong over the course of a years worth of flashing, etc but can't seem to pull up any solid solutions.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QBaller:

[HTC One Max] Jet_Life:
Sometime this week, I will take my HTC One Max to Cricket and have it flashed to their network. If any of this matters, my phone is:

Relocked Bootloader

Will my phone be affected anyway or do you guys recommend that I go back to stock?
[Xperia Z1 General] goon3r:
Just looking to gauge the feelings of the z1s owners regarding updates. Given that we may never be able flash stock FTFs we will be waiting for an extra few months at least after the non-carrier phones get updates. Assuming we get any updates at all. It took 5 months for the Xperia z 6906 to get 4.2.2 after the unbranded devices. 4.3 is nowhere in sight. Of course updates are not the be all end all or we would all buy a Nexus 5, but it is dissapointing.

Accessories is another area where we are severely limited also.

I dont regret getting the Z1s, the $100 visa and PS+ offers alone made it a worthwhile purchase. Im happy with the build quality, camera and overall user experience.

Just looking for feedback from the owners here.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
I think it will and my gut tells me it won't take us as long to get it as it did with T-Mobile Xperia Z owners. A few reasons I feel this was way.

1. Sony is really building a good relationship with T-Mobile. It seems to be growing more and more.

2. This phone is already selling better then the Z did for The-Mobile. More owners means more hungry customers awaiting the update, word of mouth.

3. Sony is doing more to expand brand awareness in NA.

Those all have a lot to do with the priority of the update. I say once the non-carrier branded phones get it, maybe 2-3 months later we'll get it? Just a guess...
[Xperia Z1 General] CollinFX45:
These are all good points. I was on the fence about the Z1s and ultimately went and got the Z1 Compact instead from overseas. Anyway, one other thing I wanted to mention is that T-Mobile recently has been very good with updates. I have an LG G2 on T-Mobile which I purchased thinking there was absolutely no chance of timely updates. To my surprise, KitKat arrived on Friday and made my day. Know this isn't a Sony and I'm not trying to go off-topic here, but I have been very impressed with T-Mobile releasing updates over the last few weeks. Maybe the same will hold true for the Z1S. It would be horrible for them to drop support for it. I think the ball is in Sony's court at this point since none of the phones have KitKat.

-Collin-
[Xperia Z1 General] goon3r:
All three are very great points. Admittedly I am not as confident mainly because I see Sony releasing almost one or two new phones per month and I fear they are stretching themselves thin on resources to push out updates. I believe their intent is 18 months of updates for Xperia devices.

Their T-Mobile relationship is an interesting one, I have to admit that I wasn't happy with the fact that Sony refused to release an unbranded LTE Z or Z1 in the US. I also couldn't understand why they were doing this. I think its now clearly obvious they did this to avoid competing with T-Mobile. I suppose they have to take steps to build relationships with the carrier but I was disappointed all the same to have to wait for an LTE version. It appears that the converse of this is also true in that any device that DOES make it into the Sony Store (physical or online) with LTE, is likely NOT going to end up on any carrier (think Z Ultra).

Personally, I think 5-6 months (after Z1) wait before we see KitKat on the Z1s. Nice to hear that it is selling well though.
[Xperia Z1 General] aooga:
Carriers have to get their act together. If the Z1 is going to get KK in April, the Tmobile version (almost exact same software) should get it no more than a month later. I might throw a fit if I have to wait till October. By then, 4.5 or 5.0 will be out!

At least let us unlock the BL so we can get KK on there ourselves. Sheesh.
[Xperia Z1 General] goon3r:
I was planning to wait until the Z3 for my next upgrade, with the hopes of native wireless charging as that is the feature I wish for the most. I can say though that if we are looking at a 5+ month wait for Kit Kat, my Z1s will end up on eBay and will be the last carrier branded device I buy for a while.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
Sony promised Kitkat update by Q1 2014, we should get it before end of this month.
[Xperia Z1 General] Don_Perrignon:
Then we still have to wait for T-mobile.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
This month.
[Xperia Z1 General] Moze666:
Z1 Gets in April, so I think that every new Sony phone will get it then ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] aooga:
We all wish.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

The only thing I'll give to tmobile is that they have to implement wifi calling. At least thats some excuse. With ATT, Verizon, and all the other ones, they don't have to do anything but add bloatware that probably needed no change anyway.

Microsoft is doing it right as of now with their developer update program thing (I forgot what it's called). Opt-in, skip the carriers, and get your updates when the manufacturer releases it, not the carrier.
[Xperia Z1 General] goon3r:
Those of you saying April 2014, have you seen anything from Sony explicitly state a Z1s timeframe ? (Link ?)

I've seen tons of articles/blogs talking about the Z, Z1, Ultra, Tablet Z etc. getting KitKat, but I have not seen anything mentioned about the Z1s.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
The Z1s is the same as the Z1...let's be real here, the only difference is T-Mobile. Again, I say 2-3 months after the Z1 gets it. I'd be surprised if we got it sooner but not shocked, no way it takes longer than that though.
[Xperia Z1 General] jmwils3:
Given that the xperia z just got 4.3 today when the International model got it in November/December, I'm not so sure when it comes to T-Mobile and their track record updating Sony phones.
[Xperia Z1 General] chriscosta77:
I think I might be trading my Z1s in for an LG G2, or maybe a Nexus 5... When I bought this phone, I didn't expect it to be such a fringe device, with no Root, or unlocked bootloader.

It's a nice phone, with fantastic specs, 32GB, and a wonderful screen... but I'm getting a bad feeling about the speed of updates, and never achieving root.
[Xperia Z1 General] Don_Perrignon:
Today??
[Xperia Z1 General] jmwils3:
Sorry, I meant the xperia z. Stupid autocorrect, lol
[Xperia Z1 General] Don_Perrignon:
LOL, I was like, "what the?!"
[Xperia Z1 General] jmwils3:
Yes, I would be quite upset to get the one z1s that didn't have 4.3,lol.
[Xperia Z1 General] MON5TER:
I have a strong feeling they will let the z2 sell for 3-6 months or so before releasing kit kat.

it would just make more sense for sony to do this atleast from a marketing position,

besides we only just got jelly bean 4.3 in February

si id estimate a july-september kit kat launch

Imo, putting up such a post is trolling. Uploading pictures are as easy as replying. Poor excuse. Until he posts proof, he's trolling. I'd love it if he proves me wrong.

Have we even gotten a patch for heart bleed? I would like the new OS but this is part of my reason for not being happy about the lack of any update at all. I still love this phone and hope to get the z3... But only if it's like the international version (with the option of Wi-Fi calling).

But in all honesty the lack of security updates is a clear reason for at least communication on the subject from Sony/T-Mobile

It looks like your 2 month estimate may not be far off. Although I can't post links, if you google "Sony Xperia Z1s for T-Mobile could soon receive Android 4.4 update" you should find phonesreview.co.uk and a few other sites reporting on a new build number getting certified which most likely points to a release in a few weeks time!
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
Would be nice if true. Hopefully it isn't plagued with bugs like I'm hearing a lot of Z1 users have. The 4.3 that the Z1s is on hasn't given me any issues, at all. I want to keep a smooth experience.
[Xperia Z1 General] killer_roach:
I saw something online a little while back where Sony was mentioning a May release for the 4.4.2 update for the Z1S, and the fact that T-Mobile certified a build a couple weeks ago seems to put that sort of a release date into the realm of plausibility.

Here's to hoping that it's early in May, not later.
