Not sure if you used the original X before, but it can only be understand if you used it. I would say the One is a downgrade from the original X because I lost lots of useful Motorola features, third party apps and Tasker profiles just isn't as good and intuitive.

The OnePlus battery life is a little better than the X, but I never had issues with the X battery life either, I could get 4.5 to 5 hours of screen ontime with it, I do not want to be looking at my phone screen more than that in a single day.

I will miss the One camera, which is the best phone camera I've used, especially 4K DCI. But the X use the same camera as the G3 and Note 3, which is going to be good enough for me.

Storage isn't so much as an issue since I will buy the MotoMaker version with 32gb, which I can live with.

As for ram. I use ART and I don't do any heavy gaming on my phone. I use Greenify to hibernate apps. I always have 2 or 1.5GB of free ram on the One.

It's definitely worth it for an extra $150. I like AMOLED screen, even though people say it's not as good as IPS in sunlight, I prefer it under sunlight over IPS, especially due to the great viewing angle. And I love the deep black and contrast. I love the Moto ergonomic design and their build quality. The size decrease is welcome as well, the One is too big in my pocket. The Moto features like MotoDisplay, camera shake, Bluetooth trusted device and Assist are things that are useful to me. I would pay Motorola $100 for their software suite if they release it for non Motorola phones.

Moto G 2nd Gen Unboxing and Honest Review

http://youtu.be/7_iJYCZ-BGI
[G 2014 General] eksasol:
Pardon me but I'm not going to waste my time watching that because I think unbocking videos are useless and I don't see how it can be an honest review if it's 6 minutes long (half of it probably spent on unboxing) and haven't spent a week using it extensively as a primary daily driver and record the battery base on consistent usage.

I hope it's not you doing self promotion.
[G 2014 General] FoneWatcher:
I don't even need to see a review - I'm already salivating waiting for mine. It's a Moto G. with extra stuff. for the same price.:victory:
[G 2014 General] eksasol:
The phone has just been delivered, but it will take me till end of next week to post a full review because I need to use it as a daily driver for a while to see. I'll go ahead and sell my OnePlus and use this G until the X is released.
[G 2014 General] FoneWatcher:
Mine just arrived by Fedex, 3 days earlier than the Monday shipping estimate and 7 days earlier than the original order estimate. Motorola does things right.

I also stick to my prediction that the company will become a shell of its former self after lenovo gets done with it. Get your Motorola devices while it's still a Google company.
[G 2014 General] eksasol:
Honestly, I don't think Google have much of an influence on Motorola design. I think the Moto X design was all Motorola in house with maybe minimal help from Google. Which is why they are so quick to sell it off once they get their patents.

I'm still hoping the X will be assembled in USA, it's like a dying breed, not only I enjoyed the build quality of the original X, but the customer support as well, and their shipping speed is excellent.

You might be right if the Lenovo's IBM Thinkpad acquisition is anything to go by. My last few laptops are from them, and recently the build quality is vastly decreased.
[G 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
So,

I am interested in the question at the top of the thread, why did you buy the new G. Personally, I saw the new G and went out and got a 16GB original G on discount instantly. I have one G, and really like it, but almost nothing changed. The phone got bigger, but for 720, I think a 4.5" screen is plenty big. The battery didn't even get bigger, so the big screen will just run it down faster. MicroSD is the only improvement I saw, but I went with the 16 GB this time, so that is not quite as big of deal.

So everybody, why the new G?
[G 2014 General] El_Froz:
Well, old g was at 150€ and new g was at 160€. With bigger screen and better camera it was a no brainer.
[G 2014 General] iG0tB0lts:
Nexus 4 fell down, screen cracked and touch input didn't work no more. This was the only reasonable (I wouldn't buy a China make) budget phone below 15,000INR. My brother had the old G, and seeing how the new one improved in terms of screen size, camera, etc I decided to go for it. The Slo-Mo video is also pretty nice :P
[G 2014 General] vikasb32:

[G 2014 General] rillrill:
I needed Dual SIM and good Software Support. I can bet, there is no other Dual Sim Device that gets so much Android Love! I'm looking forward for Android L and official CyanogenMod Support.

I came from Huawei Ascend Mate and OnePlus One and I'm glad i made the step to a smaller device.
[G 2014 General] Mojonator:
I just got the Moto G second edition for the wife. We switched over to at&t form sprint and she needed a new phone. She was using the iphone4 and i wasn't sure how she would handle the change. So far she loves it! The big screen,the speed,price,and syncing contacts with icloud was a breeze with the Motorola software. She had it for a day and so far its good for her needs.
[G 2014 General] Moemen Shahawy:
Well, I bought mine because I was fed up of using my old HTC One V which lagged more than I could say! I didn't know its capabilities until I started using it. The only reason I got it in the first place, was the price tag. I got it for around 90 pounds when I was over in London during Holiday. Good bargain.
[G 2014 General] Pyr0_Bl4de:
I bought Moto G 2nd gen most importantly for Android L . I have never bought an up-to-date mobile in my life before. So this was the best option to upgrade from Xperia L.
[G 2014 General] danieliop:
I was rocking Windows Phone and was waiting for the Lumia 730.

But then they announced the new Moto G, and for that price tag and specs, it's a sweeter deal than Nokia's deserts.

Windows Phone is great, but after 2 years of use things can get boring.

Just because of developement

I have bought this phone from flipkart yesterday and it will be delivered today. I have used xolo q800(mtk) phone in the past which had a number of custom roms but no kernel sources. I have also used redmi 1s for 15 days but was not satisfied with the miui software. The sole reason that i have bought this device is development. The previous generation moto g got huge development and m expecting same for this one. Waiting for kernel sources to be released.

[G 2014 General] pastorbob62:
I bought this phone to replace my aged and now totally unsupported Huawei 8800-51. It served me well but even the aftermarket support and custom ROMs are non-existent.

This phone freaking ROCKS. ANd the price for what you get was great. I paid $179.99 for it which is half what I paid for my wife's Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini over a year ago.

The 5" screen is great, especially with my aging eyes. The performance and responsiveness is better than any phone I have ever tried. It blows my brother-in-law's iPhone 5C out of the water.
[G 2014 General] Lokke9191:
I bought this phone to replace my wife's galaxy s2 t989. Her s2 was still holding up being that it was running the newest paranoid android. She needed something unlocked, bigger screen, higher specs, and upgradeable to Android l. This fit her criteria perfectly. Also she was tired of me modding her phone to keep it up to date. She loves her new moto g, and wont let me touch it. But... I ordered a wireless charging addon and plan on soldering it into her g2 next weekend without telling her. :)
[G 2014 General] :
I ordered this phone as a birthday present for my dad. His Lumia 521 was on its last breath so when this came out I was like heck why not. So far I'm impressed with this phone. Fast, responsive and it looks and feels much more expensive than it is. And maybe it's because of my bad eyesight but I can't tell the difference between this and my Nexus 5 in terms of screen resolution.
[G 2014 General] dxxvi:
I buy this phone because I have a t-mobile account but no phone right now, but if the nexus 5 price goes down to less than $280 in 2 weeks, I'll get the nexus 5 and return this one.

Well My xperia L was dying(blue screen, screen freezing- changed roms,factory resets,changed kernel's still no use, battery was draining and POWER button was almost dead- sony asked 8000 Rupees for repair)

Well, I had a S3 (Gt-i9300) with me for 2 years. It slowed down to **** after a year or so, no matter what ROM I flashed. I didn't have a huge budget at the time, so I decided to go with the Moto G 2014 simply because of near stock android experience and future fast updates.

Safe to say, no regrets at all!
[G 2014 General] Jhyrachy:
I changed my nexus s a week ago for a lumia 735.

I was happy the first days, but then the horrible shadow of the lack of app and functions (no background irc app, no torrent download in background, THE HORROR, THE HORROR!) surrounded me.

Luckily i have a lot if friends in the store and they changed it for a new Moto G 2014.

I'm happy to be at home again :)

I'll only miss the macro of the camera, but i think i will carry on without problems :)
[G 2014 General] @rbiter:
Used my 3.5 year old atrix for trade in promotion with Samsung. Was using it as a dashcam and wanted something white because black absorbs too much heat on windshield. I could've got a dedicated dashcam for cheaper but the moto g has WiFi and makes it easier to upload videos without taking SD card out. Also battery life is much better. Haven't uploaded a video to my laptop so don't know if video quality is better but I'm quite it is somewhat better.
[G 2014 General] :
Since, the lumia 730 is available now!

[G 2014 General] V4lve:
It was time to replace my Galaxy Ace 2. Had got to Kit Kat 4.4.4 via TC ROM so wanted a phone as close to the latest pure Android as possible. Also needed to reduce my monthly bill. The Moto G was the obvious solution. Especially as I could buy if from Amazon and get a really cheap SIM only deal from Talk Talk. Very pleased. Really surprised what it offers for the money.
[G 2014 General] glimiril:
So far so good...

Finally after what must be 4 years of using my HTC Desire HD, currently with 4.4.4 I decided I needed to get something new.

Price point and specs were very important for me. I have seen the flag ship phones and most are just loaded with apps I would only use every now and then, plus I have already purchased apps that I like so I wanted a nearly clean starting phone, sure the flag ship phones are overall better hardware specs, yet I am coming from a DHD this phone is a massive improvement (I just had to move my DHD away so it didn't see what I just wrote)

I have a fairly decent pc, so gaming I do on that so no need for my phone to do it, I mostly use a phone as information center, personal assistant and voice command tasks using tasker and autoapps to make the overall feel smart and tailored to me. This phone fits the bill, plus dual sim is a bonus and thankfully micro SD card slot. The screen size is perfect for my needs, I had to keep using Xposed and app settings to adjust individual app DPI settings on DHD as it was always looking like UI was clunky and Iphone like. Having played with this phone for almost 3 hours now, having not charged from opening package, I am loving new clarity and dimensions..oh and battery is lasting well. Then there is music and front speakers is a real plus, I cannot believe how loud this phone is and actually playing music through speakers is pleasurable not tinny.

Camera is on par with my DHD which is ok as I don't take that many pictures to get all serious about the need for super this and that thingies :laugh:, however I never had a front facing camera on DHD, so guess what I did, oh yes I had to test out face unlock :good:.

Anyway thanks to you guys that have purchased and wrote on these forums in XDA, you helped me make a better decision and I have no regrets in purchasing this phone. Sure there are a few little teething issues, I am aware of them and looking forward to Lolipop and getting this device rooted.
[G 2014 General] Anne_Droid:
Great post! You may have convinced me to purchase this phone.

At the moment, from where I am, I can only get my hands on an 8GB unit, which is why I'm still holding off. 16GB would be perfect for my needs.

BestBuy has 'em

I was able to walk into my local BestBuy and get the US GMS black version for $179, which is what most online places charge. I had it home and was playing in a few minutes!

I bought this phone because for once I wanted a phone with up to date Android without mortgaging my house. I am very pleased with it, can't wait for Lollipop! I had a cheapie BLU phone but in spite of their promises they provided zero updates for it, in spite of it having stock android.

I would love to hear what the experienced users advice in regards to a lite and stable rom because actually the there's so much bloat ware on the stock one and I've heard that the battery life is improved on the custom ones .

Your help is really appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
You can always debloat your stock ROM. Of course, root is required. If you're looking for a lite and stable ROM I'd recommend you try custom TW ROMs since AOSP ROMs tend to have hiccups here and there. I personally don't like heavily customized ROMs. While certain amounts of customization options can be very useful, too much of it, especially poorly designed ones, will do more harm than good. Best thing is to try and find out what fits best to your needs.

Did you change from ART to Dalvik? That *might* help... ART is still somewhat unstable, and lags and such depend alot on the kernel you're using. 2.6 is stable but a bit sluggish, 3.1 is faster but hás camera bugs and is battery hungry.

Slimkat options

Hiya,

I was wondering if anyone had any memory options for the current Slimkat, with built in 3.1 kernel (basically out of box settings) that are suitable to keep it running somewhat smooth after a week or so.

The only thing i've been able to do is dumping of the cache, and using the Fstrim command to keep the lag at bay, but this still causes memory drops of some apps, ... like Phone calls being dropped, and keyboard crashing even when I have as much as 40mb of free memory.

I do keep Skype open in the background I need it to keep in contact with someone special. so i've greenified everything else that can be hibernated. except for Viper, and other CPU and kernel managers. ( and ofcourse Skype for above reason)

the phone app crashes alot after one week of use, i don't use other social apps like facebook or whatapp. I only use Skype, and Now browser. with normal Phone and Messaging app.

I may play music sometimes. but when finished I kill the app. allowing everything else to be alright.

anyway. if there is a preferred CPU / Gov / sched / swap / zram combination that is working well for people, I would appreciate some feedback on what works for them, with minimal cache dumping, and memory leaking.

Also. please let me know via PM, if I should post this elsewhere. I'll edit the post and correctly post in the correct thread, without cluttering up the thread.

Thank you.

Necro.
[LG Optimus 2x] b3zCesr:
I'm hoping for this info too! Just installed Slimkat and despite it being quick for the first 30 minutes after clean install it gets slower and slower and now even pressing power on can take up to 30 seconds just to get to the lock screen. Yes, it's insane.

[LG Optimus 2x] roc.mateo:

but Ramexpander only helps the ram. so its not worth it for me.
