I got 9/26 as well, but I ordered near launch

I could really care less, I think. Although soft plastic with rubbery feel is probably better. Sad thing is it's pobably better to wait anyway, if you do not need it wait till they offer promo's on it. Thats what I should have done. They should have had a special promo launch price, IMO. not just for students
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
that's just it... that is the promo. eventually that same promo will pop up again but it'll be for everyone instead of just students/educators. will be months before it's $100 off etc etc

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

supposedly they're all smooth plastic...
[X 2014 General] lin013190:
If you put a greeting.. can that be erased or changed later on?
[X 2014 General] knox07:
this is a huge bummer for me. i tend to gravitate towards rubbery soft touch materials. i really hope this is not true, and the plastic options offer some sort of rubbery touch to them
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
who knows. i certainly won't for quite some time. they're having mad issues with their system. i guess the phone was more popular than last year?
[X 2014 General] eksasol:
It won't take either of my Visa debit or credit card. I can't even call them up. They just don't want my money. :(
[X 2014 General] AndreaCristiano:
No
[X 2014 General] lin013190:
omg thanks. no resale value.. T__T
[X 2014 General] cent_0_o:
Is anyone else having problems with the site? I was getting the cart error, and now I'm seeing that there is a problem getting my payment to go through. I called the number for my moto credit account. They told me the website was having issues and no one is able to order. That doesn't sound right to me. Thoughts?
[X 2014 General] gammite:
the boot up greeting can be deleted. the name on the back of the phone can not.
[X 2014 General] lin013190:
Ohh, I see. yea, I was asking about the boot up greeting. Obviously the back of the phone can't... :rolleyes:
[X 2014 General] AndreaCristiano:
Couldn't pull the trigger don't know why. I think I have android fatigue
[X 2014 General] stvmac11:
I decided to go with the navy leather back, olive trim, and white front. We'll see!! Has anyone posted the return policy on this forum?
[X 2014 General] mgymnop:
I ordered the white front, bamboo back and silver accents. I like it simple. And of course most important 32GB. Took me a while until the order went through. First I wanted the black leather back but it said that it was no longer available when I put it in my basket. So I switched to bamboo.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
With the old Moto X, the return policy was 14 days

[X 2014 General] freeintruth:
EST delivery time is in Oct...am I alone?
[X 2014 General] INFRNL:
All depends on when you ordered. Many of us are 9/26, some 9/29, you oct., etc. I thought others that ordered this afternoon were already into oct, idk

I just build another just to see what delivery time is now. Early this morning for the first initial builds was 10 days, they are now out to 21 days for estimated delivery times
[X 2014 General] freeintruth:
Thanks!
[X 2014 General] Devans32:
I had problems all day yesterday and I'm still having them this morning. They told me the same thing but didn't know when it would be fixed. Did you ever get it to work?
[X 2014 General] cbasse:
Just got the same response when I called.

Curious - did anyone who successfully ordered a phone yesterday use Moto Credit?

I tried over and over yesterday with no luck, and same thing morning. Not a good start to my relationship with Motorola...
[X 2014 General] Devans32:
Sucks to be us right now, but glad I'm not alone. Misery loves company Haha
[X 2014 General] cbasse:
Would be great if they'd make it up to us somehow. Pretty sh*tty that we're being penalized for financing through them.

One can dream...
[X 2014 General] Devans32:
Yea, i thought about emailing them and see if they would do something. "i need to speak with your customer retention dept please" ha
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
has anyone called them and tried to do an order over the phone with Moto credit?
[X 2014 General] eksasol:
I was desperate enough to sign up for their Moto Credit since they still haven't fixed their credit card issue. But it takes 10 days to be accepted. Last night, when I tried ordering again it said the black front panel is out of stock, which is just unacceptable.

I noticed a lot of deals saving sites posted about the Moto X before the preorder started and how to get the promo code. So I'm willing to bet a lot of people who didn't even know about the phone or anticipated it went and bought it for the $450 price. What made me mad is that they if they knew they couldn't handle the traffic, they should have given loyal customers a head start. At this rate, the Nexus 6 will be announced before I can get my hand on this phone.
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
i re-designed one this morning and had no issue with grabbing a black front. just still couldn't check out.
[X 2014 General] TBayTom:
My $50 promotional code I got in my .edu email address wasn't working. I had to go ahead and order the phone yesterday, but moto customer support has been very helpful in helping me get my credit without cancelling my preorder. They have verified my code was valid but are trying to figure out why it wasn't working. They even call me directly on my phone when they have an update, instead of me waiting on hold all day. Very happy with the support team!
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
Anyone know when those 50 dollar codes expire?
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
since there is no date in the email, i will assume there is no expiration. there was an expiration date with the 2013 model promo codes

edit: even if there is an expiration, customer service would provide a new one for you if you complained. they're pretty good about making their customers happy
[X 2014 General] eksasol:
I finally got the order through. $556 for 32gb Bamboo and estimated for Oct. 13th. Not happy about that, but hope they can make it ahead of schedule like with the G. I almost wanted to order the original X with 64gb instead.

[X 2014 General] cbasse:
Was that a Moto credit order? I still can't do anything. Since I don't have $550 to blow on a phone, I need to do the credit plan. I'm getting pretty ticked off with this whole thing, to be honest...
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
i just processed my order about 5min ago via Moto credit
[X 2014 General] Devans32:
Mine just went through also with Moto credit
[X 2014 General] cbasse:
Are you guys able to see the item in your cart? I build my phone, put it in my cart, but then I can't see it. It shows how much it would cost, but no description or picture of the item at all. I'm hesitant to order it without being able to confirm it's what I wanted.
[X 2014 General] Devans32:
I ordered two phones but only one shows up. Prices are right though. Im going to call and make sure later when i feel like dealing with moto customer service again
[X 2014 General] cbasse:
That's part of my problem - not in a hurry to sit on hold and deal with a Rep that probably can't help me. I've been emailing support since yesterday - hopefully that bears fruit!
[X 2014 General] Devans32:
I pretty much gave up and i hope it turns out ok Haha

I just called and they verified my order. They had it right. The email i was sent and the website didn't display all my items but they had the order correct
[X 2014 General] noobsquared:
What number did you call? I'm trying to change my order from AT&T version to Pure and it's so hard to get a hold of anyone.

One a positive note, I did get an email last night saying that you designed it and we're building it. So it is being built right now I guess. I can always freeze ATT bloat and ATT insurance is nice to have just in case since they won't cover pure version under ATT insurance.
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
So I got the "We're assembling your phone" Email later in the AM tuesday night/wednesday morning. My estimated delivery was the 26th. Really hoping it gets here sooner then that, but they don't really have a good progress system by any means. Hell Pizza hut can tell me what stage my pizza is in at any given minute, but it's too sophisticated for Motorola to do?
[X 2014 General] DrexelDragon:
Seriously? wtf? I ordered 20 seconds after it went up I never got that email..
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
Yeah i was right on the bat getting mine in myself, just know that i got the Assembling email. Doesn't tell you anything really cause there are no time estimates or anything. Just hoping that means the will send it sooner!
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
i honestly don't care when the phone comes. i'll likely be selling it for a Z3
[X 2014 General] sabbotage:
Mine didn't work at launch either, so I chatted with support later in the day and they let me pick any accessory under 50 dollars for free. I got the turbo charger :)
[X 2014 General] TBayTom:
Looks like I'm getting $50 refunded back to my card
[X 2014 General] moneyman1978:
I had same issue ordered mine 12 hours ago with 9/26 as my delivery date

I just received an email that my Moto X is being assembled :D

Sent from my Nexus 4
[X 2014 General] lin013190:
Same.

The more reviews I'm reading, the more I want to return it for a Z3 though T__T
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
I don't trust reviewers. Many say it's good, and a few say it isn't that great. I need to judge for myself. But I do understand the reason why the Z3 is compelling for you. Each user has different needs. I am coming from an n4, so that plays a big role in my decision

My wants is stock Android, a battery that can last at least 12 hours or so (which it seems to be the case with Moto X), easy to hack with no restrictions, and quick updates. Moto X fits that (I can't think of the next rumored Nexus being a HUGE improvement over the current phones on the market)
[X 2014 General] lin013190:
Same. I'm coming from N4 and the battery life sucks... I need to charge it at least once a day and again when I sleep (20% left or less) and I love stock android, but I kinda want to try to see Sony's UI. I've heard it's closer to stock than LG's, Sense or touchwiz.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
my n4 sucks so bad, that only 1.5h SOT, my phone was at 15% :p

I looked at Sony's UI, and I just can't like it. something about it makes it look weird...I prefer Sense over that acually
[X 2014 General] lin013190:
Ahhh yea.. same 1.5 hours haha. super bad. I think I'll probably end up keeping the moto x. I just can't wait for the touchless features. I use google now so much for everything. I hate having to press a button in order to activate.
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
Sony just takes forever to update it's handsets. instead they just release a newer version 6mon later. only thing I don't like.
[X 2014 General] 338lm:
Tried to pre order at launch, but had some of the same problems that others have reported on Tuesday. Finally got my order to go through at 3:40 pm Eastern on Tuesday (yes, 3 hours and 40 minutes later), with an estimated delivery date of Oct. 13. [It was sad to see the estimated delivery dates get further and further away as the cart issues persisted]

Got the "We're assembling it" email yesterday at 9:00 pm Eastern. Yay! Hopefully will see it delivered much sooner than Oct. 13.

Just for curiosity, I went through the pre order process again yesterday, just to see what the expected delivery would be. Moto Maker displayed "7 days" as the estimated delivery, before I got to check out. However, today the expected delivery is 17 days. Fluctuating a lot
[X 2014 General] ZeroShifter:
Same here. I have Oct 13 delivery but also got that email last night. If I make the same phone today on Moto Maker it says the phone will come in 9 days. I am so confused.
[X 2014 General] cbasse:
My faith in Motorola is restored... finally able to order my phone, then on second thought wanted to add a case to my order. They couldn't add one, but offered to send me one for free! Score! :thumbup:
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
So, my step-dad ordered his phone on launch day in the evening, and is switching from and Iphone. He got a strange call from someone, claiming to be with Motorola Activation today, asking for his SSN to push the activation through, since he couldn't use the same SIM card coming from an Iphone. He's a wee-bit paranoid so refused to give it over, and argued with the guy some trying to get answers, and the guy hung up on him. Low and behold it was valid, the guy wasn't with Motorola, but Bestbuy, because they are processing the activations for Motorola's site. They cancelled his order, so now he won't be getting his. They even told him it was done assembling and bound for shipping out monday, to arrive possibly Wednesday, but it got canceled.

So! If you did a two year contract, and get a call from Motorola Activation, cooperate, or pay the price.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
That doesn't seem right that Best Buy would handle the activations. Also, I don't blame him about not giving out his SSN. I wouldn't either. They say never give your SSN over the phone or via email. Your step dad did the right thing imo

Sent from my Nexus 4
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
True, but if you look closely in the moto-maker when your going through upgrading it says powered by bestbuy. I'm assuming Bestbuy made some big deal with Motorola to get the contract of doing their activations or something. All i know is that his phone is canceled and he's not too happy.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
wow, I did not know that. I blame Best Buy though. they should not be asking for your SSN. that is unprofessional. I would complain to the company if I was him
[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
The 32 GB Pure is sold out at the moment. No more pre-orders for the only model that makes sense to me. I'll be watching to see if it opens back up before the end of the month.
[X 2014 General] marvin02:
Hopefully Motorola will wake up and offer a 64 GB version.
[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
That would get me to order instantly.
[X 2014 General] DrexelDragon:
Anybody who ordered from Motomaker had theirs ship yet?
[X 2014 General] godutch:
Does anyone know how I can order one from the german motomaker, I got a german address but the site won't accept my credit card :'(
[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
I may be wrong, but I don't think any ship before either the end of this week or start of next.

[X 2014 General] DrexelDragon:
This is such bull crap.. All these people ordering after me and have tracking.. Thanks Moto
[X 2014 General] Hexen302:
Whats the ATT next 18 price for the 32GB. I see its $21 a month but not sure if thats for the 16GB.
[X 2014 General] mwep:
Shipped!!

Ordered in Tuesday, assembly email on Saturday, shipped on Tuesday. Waiting for tracking number to be updated so I have ETA for delivery.
[X 2014 General] gammite:
att is not selling the 32 gig or motomaker codes yet.

i am waiting for them to start.
[X 2014 General] phermey:
mine has sipped also. but i didnt get the email.
[X 2014 General] Hexen302:
Ah ok. I can wait till then. Wife has to wait for iPhone 6 to be in stock before I pull the trigger anyway. It was between MotoX (2014) and LG G3. The G3 32gb is $24 month with next 18. Assuming the 32GB MotoX will be the same. Im going with the MotoX over the G3. Simplicity and functionality over big specs. Even though specs on the MotoX are just about the same. Using a HTC One M7 now. :)

I ordered on Tuesday, got the assembly email on Thursday. But it's not shipped yet.

Maybe wooden back takes longer to assemble?
[X 2014 General] DrexelDragon:
This is so unfair. Why do I always get the shaft on this stuff
[X 2014 General] mwep:
Dont think so... I ordered a Wooden back and it shipped. I think it more has to do with all the different options, engraving, etc.

I didnt opt for engraving since that kills the resale value. It could also be that they only have X number of parts in X color etc.

Are they still building these in Ft Worth or did they stop production there all together ?
[X 2014 General] phermey:
they are still building them in ft worth. i did not do the engraving either. i figured anything that thinned down the already thin piece of leather was a mistake.

Ugh when did you order? I'm getting really pissed off now that my order hasn't shipped yet.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nmbbf:
The title says it all!​

I wanted to hear about you guys about how satisfied are you with your Optimus 4x HD ! Say if it matched your initial expectations, long term satisfaction, if you still feel its fresh and not obsolete, how happy are you with LG's support to the phone and if you regret or not having bought it. Oh , and if you feel your battery performance is as good as in the first days !

Bring the debate on !
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gerciolisz:
Hey . I really feel its a better device than it was at the beggining. Everything is more smooth and faster. I prefer official cm sources over p880-dev but the strength goes from those second and there is future. Even if official sources gives fluidity etc i hope p880-dev sources will be fixed from all bugs if it is possible.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] amkirk94:
I agree. There was a period when Android 4.3 came out until early Android 4.4 (until Demetris got in charge of CM) that I was very desperate and I was thinking of replacing my p880 with something else.

The thing is, now it becomes better and better by the day. Especially with Official CM. It has got to a point that CM11 is smoother and generally better than stock.

Now that we're getting M builds (reference: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55447963 ) I expect that we can finally have something even more stable and reliable than ever!

I think I could keep using this phone until we stop getting official CM support (or until it breaks :p )
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nmbbf:
Really? I've been feeling exactly the opposite, but I'm using slim bean 4.2.2 because of the battery drain ive experiencied with other roms... What are you using now ? (rom , kernel , special apps )
[LG Optimus 4X HD] amkirk94:
Oh yeah, battery drain is definitely higher on everything 4.2+

I'm using what my signature says, but I don't mind charging my phone a lot. It usually makes throughout a whole day (barely). Sometimes it doesn't.

I'm not using any special apps for the time being. I used to use Tegra Overclock, but since I stopped using iodak/cyodak, I don't really need it.

If battery is something that you're really concerned about, stay on 4.2. Otherwise, if you're willing to sacrifice some of that in order to get performance, features and the latest version of android, Official CM is worth checking out! ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Graveen:
For me it is another time the community is great.

2 years ago, the stock LG was crap, locked bootloader etc...

Now, CM11 is starting to work correctly (i mean, all the bugs are fixed, and we could enjoy a really different experience), OmniRom, and a lot of others.

I'm simply angry LG did not support / open source everything they could after 6 / 8 months. The smartphone is not updated after this time, and some spent hours of hacks to make it supported.

Kudos Demetris, Lauffenstepenwolf, Adam77 and others.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] b886b:
Totally agree with you. The official support of our phone was crap, without the development of our great developers I think I would have ditched this phone long ago. After 1.5 yrs of using the phone, I think custom rom is the major force that keep 4x users, while official JB just drive them away.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
I am satisfied, but the device is nearing end of its life cycle for me. I knew if i chose this device, I'd choose good hardware for lackluster official software support, so I hoped for an active devs to bring us latest android builds bugfree, and that's what they did, to everyones delight ;p
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hamudistan:
Flashed device 1/2 hour after I purchased it. Original LG ROM was awfull. Worked fine on cm10, works even better on the new cm11 snapshot. Thanks [MENTION=1149134]Demetris[/MENTION] I'll gonna keep p880 as long as it will work

[LG Optimus 4X HD] TheSkyline35:
The battery is really bad, the phone is not as smooth as is should be, APN not very good...

I use it since 2 years, and at the end of the year i will change it !

Probably for a Nexus 5, or Xperia Z1, Moto X (2013) or OnePlus One

But thanks to this amazing community :victory:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Nutcake:
Yeah same here, terrible battery, constant lags, touchscreen accuracy issues and a lot of little things that ultimately add up to make for an awful experience all around.

Can't wait for the OnePlus One to get officially released without the need of an invitiation so I can leave this pile of trash and regret behind.

Now to be fair to the devs, ROMs have improved a great deal recently but no piece of software in this world can save this phone.

Only good thing is that you can use it as a hand-warmer in the winter since it always gets so hot. :P
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Labeo772:
Apart from battery life, and ultra weak camera, i like the phone...design is good, screen is good, performs well for me.

But battery and camera are MAJOR flaws. i will change this phone as soon as i can.
