Hahaha.. I have dropped my device from my houses roof height while I'm trying to paint the roof.. Nothing happens and still working.. I'm also used so many cellphones including high end and low end.. And I never find a device's warranty that covering physical crashes. As smartphone technician I've repaired apple 5s last week.. The owner was covered by Apple warranty and special extended warranty.. But composing said that they can't do anything with physical crashes.. So , its not a problem... as technician I am very happy with its build quality and performance..
[Moto G General] Solaris81:
Well of course it's not a problem for you, you dropped it from the top of your house and it's fine, mine slipped from a bed less than 2 feet to the floor and the screen smashed. So basically, just because some people have no problem, it doesn't mean others don't. What's more of a problem though seems to be Motorola's inconsistent customer service, and so far refusal to comment on the illegal practice of quoting me the excluding VAT price for repair.

UPDATE:Rooting the device had affected my Second Sim hence orange color of signal at noification bar. Reflashing to Stock has resolved it! :cool:

LOL what a chief , jokes

What did it drop onto , your mom ? video or it didnt happen
[Moto G General] Reluaurel:
yes

It may be good for you to search better.

You must ENABLE data on that sim, and you CAN switch between 2G/3G !

[Moto G General] Reluaurel:
Data enable is never greyed !

You may set 2G/3G one by one.

I have data plan on both sims and I switch every day 2G/3G/ and data ON/OFF on every sim.

If you need only voice, is better using 2G. For data is better 3G.

As simple as that .... :)
[Moto G General] Solaris81:
An amusing reply from Motorola to my most recent question asking why I was quoted an excluding VAT price point. Here's is their reply...

"We are sorry to inform you that your case has already been escalated and the decision made by management is final. We are not allowed to re-escalate your case or to overrule management's decision. Should you have any more concerns, please address it to the complaints department address given on the previous message."

Sound familiar? They have copy and pasted their previous e-mail, ignoring the question about the quote for the 3rd time now. The only time they commented on the price was after my first message, in which I was unaware of the practice being illegal and hadn't worked out I was simply being quoted a pre-tax price, asking why i was quoted £59 and charged £71, they responsed saying, "The prices the repair centre is asking for this repair, are standard prices and are correct." That is a direct quote from the e-mail.

I've asked them again, and will continue to ask, just for the record to make it clear they are refusing to acknowledge the question once they realised I was informed of it's unlawful nature. I think it's time I contacted trading standards then. Any advice would be welcomed. :)

I own a Moto G 2G 2014. I used it for two months and happened the same, dropped it from the bed to floor (less than 50cm) and the screen of glass broke in several parts.

So sad.... $6000 is the cost of this phone in my country, it is no cheap. So mad with Motorola for making a so low quality phone. I always used Chinese phones and never.... never... had this problem. (Chinese phones have plastic, no glass).

How can I protect the phone? a Case? A Film protector? Please advice.
[Moto G General] sugarbuger70:
Same thing happened to me Aug last year off the bathroom sink to fake hardware floor and shattered (was waiting on protector in mail) gave it to my 4 year old and still works well now even though its smashed with pieces of glass missing lol

I deleted phone app etc so for her its her first tablet to break lol

Yes definitely get a case and screen protectors. I've dropped my new one several times and lost off my trunk on a dirt road and no cracks
[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
What happened to me..... I took care of every phone I got... None of my past phones had any serious issue caused by dropping it or something like that...

With this device.... I drop it just ONCE and... "Gorilla Grass 3" survived the fall, but "4,5 inch HD display" didn't... only the display got broken...

I wanted to cut my balls when I unlocked the phone and saw the display like this!!!!

Fortunately, next week I'll receive a new display... But, its true what some user said: It depends on the angle of the fall and if it hits with something... My device fell from my hand and hit a metallic chair with the frame, just next the unlock button. Anyway, I'll have my phone back! And yes, I deffinitely gonna buy a Motorola phone in the future!!!! :good:
[Moto G General] cyrus_ae:
I dropped my phone several times. At first by accident, then on purpose. The first time, it fell from about 1.5 meters, nearly horizontal. It got a minor crack which was nearly unnoticeable. Then I stepped on it by accident and.. well, you can guess what the screen looked like, but it still worked. Right afterwards I ordered a new screen and tools, which come to about 1/3rd of the phone's costs and then I started dropping it (with the already shattered screen). Turns out: The screen actually IS quite good, I would have expected more shattered glass and barely anything came off. Four or five purposeful drops, from varying heights. From the lower ones, the shatter was bigger, but still only about a quarter of the screen was shattered before I replaced it. Shattered, though not unusable.

Can't say anything about their support though, as I void my warranty nearly instantly with everything. I'm too much of a tinkerer to wait for it to run out.
[Moto G General] knizmi:
Wow, so many broken screens - I´ve always thought this phone to be a bit of an armoured tank - unbreakable.

I´ve dropped my Moto G at least a hundred times, even from a bicycle on concrete while Ingressing and the phone still looks like new. On the other hand I´ve bought the official bumper case from Motorola. The bumper looks like an even better investment after reading this thread.
[Moto G General] ATTACK:
I dropped my "unprotected" Moto G a couple of days ago. It fell from my bathroom counter top to tile floor and bounced a few times but it came out unscathed, not even a scratch - luck of the draw I suppose.

[Moto G General] shivam13:
Dropped my phone from 3 feet, skipped a heartbeat, not a single scratch. my lucky day.

The damage depends on the angle on which phone dropped. Mine dropped straight face down(Screen).

Guess its time to buy tempered screen/bumper case.
[Moto G General] NexusHeat:
I have dropped my Moto G LTE onto a wooden floor 5 times and 1 time on concrete and it barely has a scratch on it. Two of those times, the phone was completely naked. I think the Moto G is a really well made phone.
[Moto G General] mervluk:
This is a reason why the first thing after buying a phone, I buy a case usually the cheapest I can find, usually a couple of quid off of Amazon. In the case of the moto g, as a cheap phone, a simple slip in wallet. Also helps to protect from the other junk in my pocket.
[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
Junk LOL!!!!!! Good one!
[Moto G General] primewell:
Dude, just deal with it... Bad customer support from the side of moto for sure. But mate, that's life. I made such an experience with Apple (MacBook), HP (laptop), Samsung (TV and old phone) and VW (car). In none of the cases it was my fault, they were acting like dicks, but that is what can happen. It's called life. Rub your knee and deal with it, nothing else you/one can do...

on Manager).

Hey,

So, I've checked 'settings->apps->running' and I see that when I restart my phone the OS turn on Google location Manager, Google Play market, and some other thing.

I would really like if when I turn on my phone- no element could use my GPS unless I specifically tell it to run, then stop the usage when I tell it to close. Part of the tracking prevention, I imagine, will be done by disabling those services which are required for proper part functioning.

I suppose my questions are:

1) What services/elements should I disable?

2) How do I prevent them from running on startup?

3) How do disable parts of android to run on start up, in general?

Also I'd like to note that I would prefer not installing any apps or root the phone.

Thank you very much

For stopping any app on reboot you need to be rooted !!!

As you have to make changes in system files !!!

Without root access it’s not possible to stop a system app on startup...!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
Very intresting, thank you.

Anyone knows by any chance what other elements should be disabled so to prevent the activation of components that could theoretically be used for tracking (so that for instance the GPS or the WIFI or some motion sensors or perhaps some other information gatherer could not be turned on (even if the phone is infected by malware)) ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lim Wee Huat:
1) Download disable service in Google Play

2) Swipe to system apps, navigate to Google Play Services

3) Uncheck all mdm.services (first few)

4) Uncheck NlpLocationRecevierService, GoogleLocationManagerService, GoogleLocationService

5) Uncheck any plus, drive or cast service if you’re not using them.

* GPS will still work as normal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
Thank you.

when you say that GPS works as normal, does it mean that only the physical component is working but no app can access it (not even deliberate navigation apps)?

Also, I'll check this "disable service " but funny thing, one of the reviewers on the market has left this remark:

"Nearly useless I thought that if I disable some services - they won't run ever again. But then I learned that it is not so, and the bad apps who's services you disabled can undo that easily. Even if they get executed without SU rights. For me that means that DisableServices is potentially useless. If you would like to reproduce what I'm talking about - install Yandex.Maps, disable com.yandex.auth.AuthentificationService Please, add an active Guard to protect services from getting re-enabled"

Is there some truth in it?

And again thank you(!), will do what you suggested. :)

Hello guys,

I need your help with translations for the my new app. Will be great to have Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese translations.

About the app: it's very simple "talking watch" app, operated by the voice command. For example, you are jogging in the frosty morning, the phone is in your pocket, and you are listening music on headset. So, if you wanna know what time is it, just press a headset button and ask "What time is it", thats all...

The link to the translations spreadsheet: http://goo.gl/Dk9agG

(update): I forgot to enable spreadsheet editing, sorry. Now it fixed :)

Thanks a lot!

P.S. I know (and actually using) Microsoft Multilingual App Toolkit plugin to Visual Studio but the quality of the machine translation by Bing... hmm... tried for Russian language, results are... very strange :laugh:

P.P.S. I can add translators as a beta-testers - just PM me your LiveID email. The app will be available (for beta-testers) at http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=db62a73b-ea2e-40cd-9be8-e32d6582a327

[UPDATE] Guys, I don't have plans to localize app for the languages differ than above: there is no reason for that. The purpose of the app is simple: you asking your handset about time on your own native language, and phone tell you what time is it now. If your language has no support of TTS/STT (text-to-speech & speech-to-text i.e. voice commands), there is no reason to localize UI (theoretically, I can build this app UI-less).

[UPDATE 2] C'mon, guys; I saw a lot of people from France, Italia, Spain on xda... It will take just a 5 minutes, not longer - I promise! Please, help!

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
I thought you have files for each language to say the time .

Yes WP TTS System can't read Persian .

You can add Unsupported Languages by downloading a Package file .

For example if some one wants to add unsupported language first download a pack of files to read the clock in that language but they have to use English Speech ! a little mistake .

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate! Will add you as a beta-tester soon (need to complete Chinese translation first).

Could you please tell me, how to split 现在几点 (What time is it) sentense to the 2 parts? It's because of MS voice commands API limitation, I need to define prefix (for English, it's "what time" and command ("is it"). Could you do the same with Chinese hieroglyphs? By the way, how voice commands works on Chinese and other ideographic languages?

And (just to prove), "current time" on Chinese is "当前时间", right?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] wangmingfu0409:
"what time" is “几点” and "is it" can be considered as "现在", and i think the chinese voice commands works fine on wp8, it is better than google now.

for Q2, yes "current time" is 当前时间

I'm going to publish the app for the general public tomorrow; please report if you have a critical issues/corrections/suggestions only (other translations and corrections will be added to the new version).

Than app will be published, I'll open an app topic at "Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games" forum but will keep this beta published ('cause "Turn screen off" option will be paid), so translators/beta-testers will have a "commercial" version of the app.

I don't have a G2 but I absolutely love the knock-on feature which has been brought to other devices using custom kernels. On my device at least (Nexus 5) enabling this feature entails a significant battery drain.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
