True it does look better naked but I did read a few posts about people dropping it and cracking the display so I'd rather not take a chance.

I do remember using a Galaxy S4 naked and with our dusty conditions the screen had a quite a few very fine scratches from dust. Gorilla glass is great with metal but not sand

Does anyone have any concrete info when the 32GB version will arrive in India? I contacted both Motorola and Flipkart but no clear reply :( I canceled my previous order of the 16GB version and desperately want the 32 GB version.

Get a pouch cove to give your X extra protection while on the move and carrying it and rest of the time let it breath it in open air while working on desk or seating somewhere. :)
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
So how do you guys find the 16GB of storage space?

I canceled my order sometimes back hoping that the 32GB version will arrive sometime later but it hasn't happens yet neither there is any news on that. I contacted Motorola and Flipkart both but both of them are not giving any clear reply on this.

Does anyone have any sure information if 32 GB version is going to come in India and when?

One thing is sure, I desperately want the new Moto X buy only thing delaying my decision is - the limited storage space available at this price point.

Just think - we get around 9 GB of space in a 16GB version. But get more than 25+ GB in the 32GB version which should cost around 2-3K more.
[X 2014 General] nithin1992:
There's a shortage of 32gb variants in the US as well, so the 32gigs variant wouldn't be coming to India anytime soon I believe. The space would be an issue depending on your usage I guess. But you gotta keep in mind this is USB otg compatible out of the box and you can easily get a 16gb USB otg specific pen drive for about 500bucks. So the 16 storage space is not a total deal breaker

Moto X 2014 IR sensors and Attentive display issue

Whenever i wave my hand only over the bottom two sensors, the screen doesn't lit up however if i wave my hand over the upper two sensors, the screens lits up. Is it normal or no? And the Motorola attentive display isn't working on my cell. If anyone can, please open settings>display>attentive display>see how it works. There should be an image which is displayed but my phone doesn't display the image. Is anyone else facing the same issue?
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
I also want a 32GB version, rather canceled my order of 16GB variant. My situation is something like either Moto X or nothing since my old Atrix 2 is still working great. I don't actually need an upgrade, its just that MotoX is something which is different than rest of the crowd.

I wonder if the above contract restricted versions will fully work in India. If so then I would also like to buy one of the above.

Isn't there any other source where fully unlocked Moto X is available where all the functions etc will work in India? Like from some south American country or from some European country?
[X 2014 General] nithin1992:
Buy an unlocked pure edition from Motorola from the US or the UK, everything should work fine, you might miss out on 4G LTE.
[X 2014 General] blademaster1990:
i would strongly suggest you wait for 1 more month.you can get the next generation for about 5-6k more.It will offer a far better camera and battery life.

These were the 2 main drawbacks of 2014 model. other than these drawbacks the phone is a beast
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Camera in the new versions are poorer. Culprit is ****ty software processing like whats done in Samsung, Sony, LG, Apple etc. People see the images in small size where they look good but don't have actual details as per the claimed megapixels. Current MotoX doesn't do those kind processing and pictures come out much more detailed.

So far Motorola cameras had minimal software processing but now its unfortunate to see they are also started walking on other's path.
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
It's too early to judge. From the samples I have seen it's a major improvement from moto x² for sure. Might not be top of the class, but still improvement is very important! There are lot of camera review's on the moto x play hitting the YouTube, more to come.

Moto X²/Paranoid Android
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
No imprivement. Please download samples in full size and see them at actual size and do the same thing with current MotoX pictures.

As I said, the pictures look good only when viewed at small size. But when viewed at large size, you will find the fine details missing and weird oily-cartoonish type of effect all over in the images. Same like samsung, sony, lg or apple cameras.

Thats not the case with current MotoX pictures, just click in 8MP mode using third party mode and pictures will be much detailed than rest.

I have done lot of experiments on the MotoX cameras and posted a thread in MotoX/General section. Visit that for more details.
[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
I haven't went deep on the details of the pic. I am talking how consumer eyes will look at the camera.

Moto X²/Paranoid Android
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Then i wonder why people care about megapixels? What usually people see is barely around 1 MP or even less.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
What do you suggest as the best settings? The camera takes pretty decent pics outdoor during the day. But inside the rooms where the light is lesser, it comes out grainy (which is fine) but with lesser details. I tried using the new Google camera from M preview which has the setting to use different resolutions but even with that, the results are the same. A better camera is fine but its very inconsistent with the result.

[X 2014 General] blademaster1990:
21 megapixel on moto x 2015 has been rated as second best camera in Dxo mark camera . Even motorola themselves claim that this is the best camera in a smartphone.

Even though camera of moto x 2015 maynot be great it will still be a significant upgrade over moto x 2014 camera
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Modified stock camera app with QC Denoise off @ 8MP is best if you are not bothered about the natural grain and want to capture maximum possible details. Once you capture the shot, better to process noise in some software like 'Neat Image'.

If you want to filter out the grain from camera app itself then third party apps are better. Camra Zoom FX and ProCapture are also good apps. They also have additional noise filter settings to use in night.

13MP will always come with the ugly artifacts so 8 MP still remains best compromise without loosing any significant details.

About so called "great" 20MP camera, the same reviewers gave high ratings to samsung, sony, lg and apple cameras which produce ugly and less detailed pictures compared to MotoX 2014 8MP shots. Just open your eyes, compare full resolutions shots on big monitors to believe yourself.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Earlier I saw samples of Moto X 2015

Style

which were too much over-processed resulted into lesser detailed ugly images when viewed at 100% zoom level. Now I see camera samples of Moto X 2015

Play

and surprisingly the processing seems far minimal compared to

Style

and shots are much more detailed, similar like current Moto X.

[X 2014 General] SB1993:
Hi guys. I've been using this phone for almost a year and absolutely love it even with all its minor drawbacks.

I've been wanting to root my phone for a while now - remove bloatware and stuff. Haven't been able to find a proper method to root it online. All tutorials found were for KitKat and none for lollipop. Could someone help me out with a simple tutorial? Running lollipop 5.1.

Also, I've read that once I root my phone I won't be able to install OTA updates. How true is it? Is it possible to download the OTA updates and flash them manually without causing any damage to the phone?

Thanks ☺
[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
Root is easy. Unlock your bootloader on the motorola website. Flash TWRP recovery. Start TWRP recovery. When you exit TWRP recovery it will ask if you want to root.

As far as OTA. OTA only works if your phone is 100% stock, no modifications. If even one thing is modified OTA will fail. You have to reflash the stock recovery, remove root, undo all changes you made with root. Then the OTA will work again.
[X 2014 General] SB1993:
The OTA issue sucks. Seems a little futile to have to undo everything again.

So I just bought Moto X 2014, but there seems to be a problem - cannot upgrade to android 5.1; currently running 5.0 which came with it. While checking for system update sit says: 'Unable to check for updates at present. Try again later.'

Any suggestions why it is not doing so?

I updated a Moto X 2014 to 5.1 before but got it replaced via Flipkart cause it had a mark on the leather backing. But this new one refuses to update. :(

[X 2014 General] AhmedFaiz:
To flash factory image you have to unlock bootloader, If your device is not a developer edition then your warranty will be void when you unlock the bootloader. If you don't want to loss your warranty just connect Motorola support ask for help.

Below is the link that tells you how to flash stock using adb and fastboot commands.

[X 2014 General] AGISCI:
You are partially correct. However you do not have to unlock the bootloader if the firmware is the correct one for the phone model and carrier. It just does not let you flash firmware from other models and carriers when it is locked.

My Moto X2 has been with the service center (B2X) for almost a month for screen replacement. They just keep giving me the same story every week - 'my case is being resolved on priority and they will complete the repair within a week'.

The service center guy showed me a similar case where the customer has been waiting for 6 weeks.

I posted on their forums and tweeted Motorola Support as well but did not get a response.

What are my options, can I file a consumer court complaint against the service center?

We're you able to take the ota without bricking?
[X 2014 General] kishanamlani:
Ya its safe.. Me too was worried about that because i had read it somewhere.. Then i asked many of my friends to confirm. All have said that flashing cm13 doesn't change anything in bootloader so downgrading will not be an issue.. It does so by flashing official marshmallow firmware..

So if you have flashed cm13 directly after 5.1 then you can downgrade again to latest 5.1 and get ota for 6.0..
[X 2014 General] vimanyu devgan:
Thanks...actually I was on 5.0 before I flashed cm13 ...so what I am planing is to flash the stock 5.0 image then taking the ota for 6.0
[X 2014 General] kishanamlani:
But you will not get 6.0 update on 5.0 firmware.. It will need that latest 5.1 firmware else it will not accept..
[X 2014 General] vimanyu devgan:
That's fine...I'll first update it to 5.1 then to 6.0

Flast TWRP through fastboot.

Then use TWRP to install SuperSU.zip (latest beta package) for Marshmallow.

Upon exit, if TWRP prompts to root device, press NO.

It needs unlocked BL. Right?

You will need to first unlock Boot Loader, there are plenty of guides out there.

And you can also, find youtube videos as well.

Go ahead with CF-Auto-Root-victara-victaratmo-xt1095, it works for xt1092(indian models) like charm.
