[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Mochan:
$300 for an Atom is an excellent price. The Atom doesn't crash anymore than any other PC unless you are treating it bad -- generally people who complain about PPC problems don't know what they're doing and are damaging their phones' setups with bad practices.

My Atom Exec has never crashed on me from normal use, and I bought it second hand. To think someone else was screwing with it before me! I just did a hard reset and set it up the way I wanted it. The only times I had to soft reset was after experimenting with new software. Just backup your phone before that just in case.

The only real problem I had with my Exec was the battery life, which is really abyssmal. But removing the O2 Plus application and making sure "Receive All Incoming Beams" option is off helps a lot. I don't even lower my backlight; I hate doing that. But you'll still only get like 3 days tops for moderate usage, usually less.

Another issue I had was with the Exec overheating; using WiFi drains the battery and makes it really hot really fast. Using the camera also does this, as does any other CPU-intensive app.The bad thing about this is that it can cause problems if too hot; like your camera gets really screwed if the device is too hot. A reset followed by cooling it off fixes it though.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Mochan:
I don't know about the Atom but I thought the Atom Exec had better screen quality than the JAMIN. Also I thought both had the exact same resolution.

As for the N95, isn't it "what computers have become" LOL
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] arnold3k:
It's good if you can live with its quirks

I've had mine for over a year now and I keep encountering these problems:

- it crashes often. A soft-reboot fixes it but it's annoying when i'm in the middle of a program. These could also be due to the programs i've loaded in it. Sometimes though it's the built in programs that freezes it, like the camera.

- battery life is pretty low- Less than a day. I have another 02, the XPhone II and the battery in that one lasts me 3 days.

- The hands free bluetooth headset isn't REALLY HANDS-FREE. Everytime I have to make a voice call, I have to hold down one of the buttons then announce a contact's name. Annoying really because it defeats the purpose of it being hands-free. The bluetooth works really well w/ my XPhoneII

- BIGGEST PROBLEM right now for me is that the battery drained to 0 and the unit shut down. Now I can't seem to charge the battery anymore?? The suggestion to charge the unit w/o the battery first then w/ the battery didn't work. So right now, I have a small brick in my hand and still awaiting help.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Mochan:
I've never had an issue with the built in camera crap crashing the phone, but then I don't use the camera often.

Often times crashing on PPC devices is due to the odd software loaded into it; my old PPC crashed a lot from Dinomite (a PopCap game ported by Astraware to PPC) and my current PC crashes from Monopoly.

Also running too many programs at the same time, especially the ones that do background processes, will cause it to crash. Taskbar managers like vBar and pBar are your friend.

The battery life is indeed abyssmal but it is just slighlyt below par with other PPC devices with this kind of processor. You can't compare it to the XPhone, which is only a smartphone. By the way, to improve your battery life uninstall that dreadful O2 Plus it drains your battery like crazy.

As for bluetooth handsfree I don't think there exists a trully "handsfree" solution anywhere yet. Every voice option needs you to at least press a button to activate it.

As for your phone dying now well sorry I don't know maybe it just up and gave up. Could be the new Quanta hardware isn't so durable.

[Moto G General] jgarcia88:
Motorola has announced the new gen of the the Moto G. The Moto G has been upgraded to a 5-inch screen. It also comes with an 8 megapixels camera in the back and 2 megapixels in the front. it will come in both 8GB & 16GB versions with a Micro SD slot. Motorola kept the phone at the same price as the original $179.99. The only bad thing is that there is no LTE version yet.
[Moto G General] miklosbard:
And the 5" screen...
[Moto G General] TeknoÖmer:
That Sound Good.
[Moto G General] ChaTy:
Yeah...and that too with dual front facing speakers....:highfive::good:
[Moto G General] eddydc1:
IMO 4.5" screen is better because it's easier to use it with one hand.. Also I don't like those front speakers, looks so ugly :(
[Moto G General] tekweezle:
did they beef up the battery or make it removable?
[Moto G General] MechanicaIMan:
No.
[Moto G General] merlinolillo:
I agree. Personally 5" is too much big for me. I feel unconfortable with a mobile of that size
[Moto G General] vkk178:
Mixed bag. I wish they had increased RAM a little bit more atleast 1.5 GB and beefed up the battery little bit more . I'd have seriously considered it
[Moto G General] dimsar2013:
Indeed, the RAM memory and the battery capacity could be increased. Also, I expected a little bit more powerful CPU (e.g. 1.5Ghz+), although the quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 is powerful enough. And last, the first generation Moto G has a 320dpi screen, while the second has a 294dpi.

I'm not sure about the pixel density, but I've read that in a site.
[Moto G General] Chivo2030:
bad bad:silly:
[Moto G General] doctor_droid:
Camera has been upgraded to 8mp rear and 2mp front...
[Moto G General] ReaverV2:
Heard it has a TV tuner as well?

The night is dark and full of terrors
[Moto G General] Jorge_007:
The bigger screen is great! The original Moto G feels small in my hand, so the option of a larger display is great. They could of added an extra gig of RAM though. 1GB is not enough for multi-tasking.
[Moto G General] mato_d007:
There is not much you can do keeping the price, I think that the upgrade is ok.
[Moto G General] andromobilogy:
Well for same price having some more upgrades aint bad.

I also wished they kept only the Camer upgrade and instead of others put a lil more RAM speed.

That would have been so cool.

But who would have considered the X generation if so ;p
[Moto G General] petraru1:
Yep, i also love the new moto g, at the same price you get a bigger screen, better camera, dual front facing speakers, sd card slot and more optimized software with a guaranteed upgrade to android L and many more... when this phone will be in stock in Romania i will buy it asap :D
[Moto G General] eltuxumuxu:
The most of the hardware is the same, so is the development easily portable to the new one?

I'm thinking on buy the new one because i was going to buy the 1st gen, but i like the improvements
[Moto G General] Ani0o7:
The biggest problem is going to battery of g2 which is 2070mAh they have upgraded the screen size from 4.5" to 5" and not the battery, in 4.4.4 Android, power backup is a issue but no improvement by Motorola, it will be power hungry, I don't see it is major upgrade which can turn the tables as our motor g does....... Also Not even a single in change in hardware, is there is no change happened in technology in previous two years, its better to wait for g3
[Moto G General] toobz:
Same amount of pixels even though the screen is bigger. My biggest problem with the g2 is the front speakers. Makes it look cheap and ugly compared to my speak moto g 4g lte
[Moto G General] oversleeper:
I also don't like those front speakers. The 1st Moto G looks better imo. Talking about the overall performance, nothing is changed from the old model, except for camera. While those specs were quite good for a 2013 phone, for a 2014 phone they looks outdated. Also it doesn't have LTE and probably there will never be a GPE version. Moto G was a shining champion for its price, G2 will be an ordinary budget phone.
[Moto G General] Thebobbr:
Hello guys, as the new hardware is the same old you think the new ROM will work on the old?
[Moto G General] 3andala:
what about sd card & bigger screen

as for me i just ordered from few days Moto G 2013 not received it yet then i will not open the box maybe sell it & buy the new one
[Moto G General] oversleeper:
Hmm about the 5" screen it depends on what you prefer, I don't dislike it but it's not a big improvement... moreover some people complain it's too much big. About the sd card, yep it's ok but the Moto G LTE already got this feature... so it's nothing new. If I was the the Motorola developing staff I would added some hardware features, like 500MB more ram, a little bit better cpu (1.4 GHz would have been enough), camera ok, sd card ok, speakers... well, the rear speaker was pretty good 'cause of the curved design of the back, I don't think front speakers will be a big improvement. Anyway I think Motorola made the G2 in this way intentionally, to have a better market with the Moto X+1 and the rumored Shamu (Nexus X). They just don't want all the people buy the Moto G2 insted of their high end phones (like happened with Moto G and Moto X).

Probably nope.
[Moto G General] lolcopter:
No additional RAM, no care
[Moto G General] 3andala:
agreed

i just meant that if u will buy the Moto G then buy the newer don't ever buy the older

yeah performance would be better of course i think that what happen from long time between Xperia Arc & Xperia Arc S

so little difference but Motorola tried to make the best for low price

Cheers
[Moto G General] jaspreet997:
Its a good thing because now our oldoto g can take advantage of updates released for new one So we may get a great port of Android L and M
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
I pre-ordered mine immediately. Once I had the taste of the forward stereo speakers on my One M7, it's hard to go back (speaker), plus the bigger screen and better camera, SD slot, it's an incredible deal for USD 179.

I'll order a second one in white next payday. Gotta stock up before Lenovo buys them out and ruins Moto forever.
[Moto G General] doctor_droid:

[Moto G General] dimsar2013:
This means that the 1st gen Moto G is discontinued by manufacturer?
[Moto G General] eddydc1:
Yep
[Moto G General] DrexelDragon:
So where is this going to be available? Only place I saw is on motos website and it is sold out.
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
I ordered mine yesterday and got estimated delivery the 19th. They must have sold truckloads, which is good.
[Moto G General] pritsey:
Any word on notification led?
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
What about it?
[Moto G General] alochmst98:
The notification LED on the 2013 Moto G can only display white. There's no way to use software tweaks to make it display a different color. This means you can't have different colors for different apps, or different colors for charging vs fully charged.

Pritsey probably wants to know if this has changed with the 2014 model.
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
I doubt it has changed. Most manufacturers have actually gone away from colored leds recently.
[Moto G General] vkk178:
I suppose they don't yet have grip shells for the new model.
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
They have everything that's branded on the Motorola store, but what I can't find are any 3rd party cases.
[Moto G General] vkk178:
There are third party bumper cases for MotoX 2 gen but not for moto G
[Moto G General] K.khiladi:
Personally 4.7" screen is manageable but 5" one is really big for me...
[Moto G General] jman1234:
Definitely selling my moto g and getting this new one.
[Moto G General] pritsey:
Exactly. When I had a Galaxy Nexus I found the multi colour LED extremely useful. I've just ordered the new moto g to play with but hoping for an RGB LED.
[Moto G General] Itachitops:
Just a question: He has a gyroscope?
[Moto G General] GoneTomorrow:
Not terribly impressed. In the year since the Moto G release they could have improved the RAM and SoC. 1.5GB RAM and a Snapdragon 410 would have made me interested, as I have issues with RAM on my Moto G. I'd actually prefer the old Moto G if I was buying today.

At least the hardware similarities have seemed to make the old Moto G's update to Android L easier and more likely.
[Moto G General] veryFATHAMSTER:
Completely agree. I expected something more from Moto G 2, not just a bigger screen and a few details.
[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
But the 5" screen is brand new!!
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
Aside from a 5" display, better camera and SD card slot not really being so "minor", the truly remarkable thing is that they kept the pricepoint of USD179 the same.

If you want all of these features, plus more RAM, faster CPU, GPU, etc., you're looking at a flagship phone for considerably more money.
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
It is a bit surprising they didn't at least bump up the CPU. Given the bigger screen, it is likely to actually have worse performance than the current Moto G.
[Moto G General] mato_d007:
The screen has the same resolution so its not going to impact performance or battery. You are missing the point here guys: keep the price low. Moto G is all about the price point.
[Moto G General] GoneTomorrow:
Not denying that, but come on, 1 year later and it has the exact same SoC and memory. I would have much preferred they kept the same screen and bumped the SoC and memory if it really came down to it. There are newer replacements for the Snapdragon 400 now, based on the 64 bit A53 instead of A7. These sit in the same budget bracket so there isn't any reason not to use them, but are about 50% faster than the A7 cores. HTC Desire 510 has the Snapdragon 410 for roughly the same price as a Moto G, but the CPU is up to 50% faster. Seems Motorola might be getting lazy with the SoC's, like how the Moto 360 uses a 2010 era OMAP 3. What a joke.
[Moto G General] K.khiladi:
But I think htc desire 510 isn't readily available yet while new moto g is already available in some markets..

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

The price is its best point and the addition of expandable memory and camera bump makes cheery on the cake.
[Moto G General] eddydc1:
I'm sure camera is still not so good, just marketing trick to put 8mp sensor
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
And that's why you aren't in design and marketing - Moto sold tons of Gs, so they know what they're doing. Very few people would upgrade for a "faster" under-the-hood improvement, while making a bigger screen not only appeals to more people (such as older demos whose eyes prefer larger screens), you're again missing the point entirely that they made visible, considerable improvements *without* jacking up the price.

If you need a faster CPU, etc., then the Moto G isn't for you - you need to move up to a Moto X.
[Moto G General] GoneTomorrow:
I disagree for several reasons. Many companies release new phones with the main update being faster SoC's. Apple loves doing this, their iPhone 5S announcement made heaps of fuss over the A7 SoC, and their phones are arguably the best marketed, and pretty much everyone (millions) upgraded for the faster under-the-hood improvement.

Computational speed improvements are very important to most people. If this wasn't so, and the Snapdragon 400 is perfectly fine, why stop there and not just go back to a 2MHz Intel 8080? The Snapdragon 400 was already a fairly slow and oldish architecture when the old Moto G came out, lets alone the new one. Older SoC's are less likely to have good experiences going forward as apps and OS's get heavier, and support is more likely to be dropped entirely for old architectures.

I'm not saying I need a faster CPU, I'm just saying that they passed up the opportunity to slot in basically a newer version of the same SoC, for the same price (probably), based on a much newer architecture that will have much longer longevity. Don't get me wrong I love my Moto G, but a 1 year refresh of a phone these days with exactly the same innards is pretty much unheard of.
[Moto G General] K.khiladi:
I agree with you...
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
I agree. However, people buying a new Moto G may not be quite so happy in a few months when the upgrade to Android L makes the phone much slower. A slight bump in specs could have made the overall experience better (and not just the buying experience).
[Moto G General] GoneTomorrow:
Seems reviewers have a similar view as me:

As I have said, they likely could have included this SoC for minimal cost, and helped with longevity. By the time the Moto G gets updated again, we'll be on the doorstep of 2016 and that 400 is going to feel hella slow.
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
I agree and have also experienced some bottlenecking due to the relatively CPU and low RAM, but you can't get these specs on an off-contract price for USD179 anywhere in the world.

You could make a laundry list of all of the things that could be bumped up on a G, but if you made a list of all of the phones that have the G's specs for the G's pricepoint, the list would only have one item: the Moto G.
[Moto G General] toobz:
I don't see any reason to get this over my moto g 4g lte. It would feel like a downgrade imo
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
I went back to a regular 16GB Moto G as my primary phone from the 4G LTE because I never really need 4G speed - don't stream or DL much except on WiFi and the more internal room made some things easier to install and manage.

Now for what i do use my Moto G for a lot is watching avi videos, TomTom nav in the car and playing games, so the larger screen and forward-facing stereo speakers will be HUGE for me.
[Moto G General] Smokey Mc Pot:
Same here,

? I like my 4G with unlimited data!

The new device sounds great with a bigger screen and dual speakers and all the rest, but they forgot to include LTE and bump up the battery capacity in conjunction with the new specs.

If I am to buy the new moto g?!

Than I will wait for the revised device with LTE.

But in reality 1GB Ram is not really enough to me.

? doh!
[Moto G General] byron84:
This budget phone is a fantastic deal. All that for less than $200? Damn.

Nice to see that old Moto G display is slightly better ;) I think they used cheaper panel than old moto..

Camera seems to be MUCH on new moto better, not so much waterpaint effect

Battery life is better old moto
[Moto G General] tekweezle:
I'll be interested in this phone when it's offered for $60. That's the current low price for the Boost Mobile version that many people have modified to work on Pageplus Cellular via the Verizon network.

Sent from a Freedompop HTC Evo 4G
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
Mine is being shipped right now - estimated for Monday, the 15th, which is faster than the original estimated delivery of 9/19.

If I could get WiFi calling on my Moto Gs, I'd sell all of my flagship phones in a heartbeat. That's the only reason why I need TMOUS-branded phones at all - I live in a dead zone, although the antenna on my Gs seems better than other non-WiFi calling phones I've owned. For comparison, my wife's iPhone 5 is horrible - she has to stand in the front yard to get a signal.

Also, funny thing when I got this email last week from Motorola. Looks like they used the wrong email template and it shows I ordered a Moto X, which I didn't.

It would be very nice if they made a mistake and ship me an X instead of the G, but I'm not counting on it;)
[Moto G General] Smokey Mc Pot:
Download "Hangouts v2.3 + Hangouts Dialer" you can also integrate your Google Voice number...

? Works sweet on Wi-Fi.
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
Thanks for the idea.
[Moto G General] wshelton24:
Confused

Im terribly confused at the new Moto G. As an owner of the original (3G) Moto G, i can say this is definitely NOT an upgrade. While i love this phone, i can admit i miss LTE, NFC, and gyroscope. Without those items, how can this really be an upgade for (3G) Moto G users? Even if i had the 4G LTE model, i wouldnt not consider upgrading. Maybe its just me. This device seems more targeted to bringing NEW moto users, not existing ones. I mean, if i ever feel into a pickle, and needed a cheap near-flagship replacement..but other than that, ill look elsewhere. Id honestly almost rather have a first gen moto X instead of the new G. Why couldnt they have pulled an Apple and just rebranded last years X (with FF speakers) as a new G? Hell, id almost rather have a 2012 Nexus 4 than the new G.

Disagree if you may, but as a 3G Moto g user id MUCH prefer the new HTC Desire 610..if were sticking to the $200 price point.

/rant
[Moto G General] FoneWatcher:
Can't disagree with your opinion - "Everyone is entitled to their opinion. No one is entitled to their facts." (can't remember quoter), but point being that there aren't too many new, no-contract HTC Desire 610s for "$200 price point."

The going price for them from a retailer, not an eBay individual or "open box" deal is $249. Moto G 2nd Gen, is $179, free shipping, out the door. That's a $70 difference.

And the G has a markedly better display, better front camera, Gorilla Glass 3 (which feels amazing to me) and, IMO, much better software. I like HTC phones, but the first thing I do is disable Blinkfeed.: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6647&idPhone2=6160
