[MENTION=4658859]Galaxo60[/MENTION]: Is your phone still pending for customs clearance?

Could you keep us updated on its status? Getting anxious over here :eek:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
It is not that I'm rich, but I some times have that feeling, that time is more valuable than some extra bucks; when people have a comfortable life, money passes to second term.

:cowboy:

I called FedEx all day, and it seems that all phones are treated as "dangerous" because of the battery they have. It is 3 days now that the phone is still in customs clearance, but FedEx has give me the number of customs in Toluca, so I can call and see what's happening or what do they need to release the phone and send it to me.

Phone should be delivered on November 25, but as I'm seeing all this, maybe it will take more; I think it is luck, some packages or phones maybe would get it quicker than mine, if phone didn't have that problem, the phone would take around a week or less to arrive.

:crying:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:
Wow! Really? That's incredibly dumb...! and sad...!!

I'm guessing Motorola is the one that should fix that problem as I'm sure ALL Moto Maxx's are stucked in customs and Motorola should be pretty worried about it. Let's wait and see if it gets resolved.

Bad news all around, but thanks for the input :good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
I will call tomorrow to Toluca and ask what do they need or how the process is going to be, because I'm leaving Mexico in few days and I don't want to leave my phone here.

:(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] elgringoloco77:
same situation

I'm in the exact same situation, i talked to fedex and they told me that i need an aduanal agent in order of release the package, then i call to Motorola and they answered that all the necessary papers had been send and everything was under control so i said to myself chill out and if the 25 i didn't receive my phone then i will release my rage ja
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mfractal:
seller on ebay is me guys, I should be getting 3 more phones today..

price on ebay is higher than what I offer it here for..

with usd to brl conversation rate of today I can ship it to you via ems for 1050 usd (that's 50 bucks for me, rest is paypal fess).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
Motorola told me the same, that the delivery should be on 25, but my specifically problem is that I leave Mexico next week and I'm not planning to return in a couple of years, that's why I'm so anxious about the arrival of the phone, I wouldn't have a problem to wait a little more days if I will be here in Mexico, but this is becoming insane at least for me.

:(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Huiver:
Thats completely normal I work in a customs broker office and I know how the import customs clearance works. When a battery is in the product is treated like a dangerous cargo and have to fulfill all papers and NOMs in order to customs authority can release the cargo. In other words a normal cargo (not dangerous) takes like 2-3 days to be released by customs (in best cases) and dangerous cargo takes like 5-7 days (best cases as well) to be released.

I know Mexico has a poor cutoms system.

The only thing you can do is Wait. :(

Today I will call to motorola, I havent receive my trucking numbre yet since a week and a day is gone. :confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
That's exactly my point, I don't have too much time to wait, that's why I'm worried about.

:rolleyes:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
Little update for all:

I called today customs and Motorola, and it seems that the delay in the delivery is because they need the documentation as [MENTION=5084848]Huiver[/MENTION] said, which I find pretty stupid, why not just sent the documentation and the phone together?.

Anyway, it seems that it is on customs side, an they guaranteed to me that the package should be arriving tomorrow or monday at most.

Also told them I'm leaving Mexico next week, and if phone still is not there, that I should call them back and see what they can do for me.

Moto Maxx launched in Chile

Motorola Mobility launches Moto Maxx phone in Chile

Friday 21 November 2014 | 13:56 CET

Motorola Mobility has launched its new Moto Maxx smartphone in Chile. The Android 4.4 smartphone boasts a 3,900 mAh battery, which Motorola says supports 48 hours without charging. With the company's Turbo charging feature, users can also get up to eight hours more power with just a 15-minute charge. The Moto Maxx features a 5.2-inch Quad HD display, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor, a 21-megapixel camera with 4K video, LTE, 3GB RAM and 64GB of storage. Motorola said that the device will be commercially available in the local market by the end of November.

Does anyone know whether or not Moto Chile will ship internationally? thanks a lot.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:
That's great news.

The more countries have it for sale, the more developers we'll get :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
It's just an announcement. Not actually available yet. These tech writers confuse ANNOUNCEMENT with LAUNCH. Launch means available for purchase. It's not available yet.

Here's the Motorola Chile site, see for yourself. All teaser information, nothing to actually ordering yet.

http://www.motorola.cl/

But still, it's good news.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Huiver:
Good news to Chile and moto maxx community

I just called to motorola and they told me that today my moto maxx will be sent and also today I will receive my trucking number.

[MENTION=4658859]Galaxo60[/MENTION] I hope you receive your moto maxx soon
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aaronc_98:
In any retail Stores in Tijuana?

Does anyone know if there are any retail stores in Tijuana that carry the MOTO MAXX? I will be in SD next week and I was hoping I could just drive across the border and pick one up somewhere.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:
Not that I know of.

It's only selling through Motorola's website.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
It seems that the package was released and the documents were sent and ready, so it is only a matter of time for it to arrive to my place.

It seems that Motorola counts those 3-4 days of delay as part of the estimated time for delivery and the delay is already planned in Motorola's time.

:p
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:
Great news! I hope mine gets released tomorrow.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] krabman:
Maybe not as exciting as receiving a strippergram but hopefully you folks will get your device soon. ;) I've been looking at the documentation for building TWRP and I'm thinking it is beyond me. I can work in adb and various other basic stuff and I've made launcher changes compile and things of that sort that I imagine a lot of users at a site like this can do but this appears to me to be something that is going to take someone who is in the field to take on if we want to see it reach fruition. A little sad for me because I had been thinking reading what some of the developers had been saying (at random with various devices) about working it up for a device it was something that a dumbass like me could do if I was willing to put in the time, beat my head against the wall, etc. In other words it wouldn't be easy but perseverance would see a person through.

Not sure where I'm going here, I'm a little deflated I suppose because I had made a presumption that I could take care of myself as far as getting root goes on this device but as I read about building TWRP tonight I'm starting to realize that I was woefully mistaken in that presumption.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] elgringoloco77:
finally released

Looks like mine is arriving Monday can't wait anymore so anxious
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] respider:
have you unlocked your bootloader?

you could try to boot some other device TWRP (without flashing), check inside TWRP if partitions are mounted OK and then flash super su from there. This could work
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] alexcreto:
I just got off the phone with a Motorola support/dev guy. I've got great news.

I'm gonna make a topic just for it.

Long story short, firmware wise, it's identical to the Moto x AND Moto x 2014.

He told me that it shouldn't be a problem using those recoveries...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] respider:
not so sure about that... was this guy a dev or just a support guy? how did you contact him?

at least partitions number from moto x 2014 are different from moto maxx and from nexus 6, I've checked that
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] alexcreto:
I sent an email asking about bootloaders and recoveries.

He called me back.

I asked if he was a developer. He told me he wasn't a dev, but rather a developer support guy.

He said that whenever someone has a problem with a device he tries it out to find a solution.

during the call he said that he tried to use the Moto X's firmware on the Maxx and that it worked.

I also asked if Motorola would give us the images and he said no....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
I made a little research, and it seems that the Maxx in Chile would have another price range, one between Mexico and Brasil, according to the prices of the Moto X and Moto G with the phone companies from there. Being more specifically, we should expect around $100 USD more than Mexico's prices and $100 USD less than Brasil's prices.

Another question would be if [MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION] could change the name of the thread to something more "general" to not change the title every time the Maxx got released in other country, because as far as I'm reading, the Maxx seems to be arriving to most of the countries in Latin America.

;)

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

I saw you signature, and I was curious about battery life: I know the G2 was one of the most endurable phones in terms of battery, how would you compare the battery on the G2 with the Maxx?, it is a real difference or not so much?.

Thanks

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] michaelbru:
Mexico infrastructure to support a rapid order?

I'm going to be in Mexico the second week in December (for close to a week). Are there motorola stores or some equivalent to Best Buy or something that I can walk in and buy an unlocked moto maxx at? I understand that they may still be out of stock and just not available. Verizon does a lot of locking on their phones, do I have to worry about that with a Mexico carrier? Is it viable to walk into a carrier store in Mexico and buy an unlocked Maxx? If so, which carriers would I be looking for storefronts for?

Another option I'm hoping may be available is prepaid credit cards. I can buy these at any grocery store in the US. Can I do the same in Mexico? Just walk into a store, put 700$ onto a Mexican prepaid card, and go to the moto site and order the phone with rapid shipping to the hotel I'm staying at? This should avoid the CC and shipping address problems. Once again, I understand that this relies a lot on stock being readily available.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:
There is no retail store (we have Best Buys in Mexico BTW ;)) or carrier currently selling the phone.

You can only purchase one through Motorola's website and it comes unlocked as it's a "pure" edition.

AFAIK some carriers would start selling them during december, but I'm not completely sure.

If that's the case, then you would be able to buy one without problems. Carriers provide an option to purchase a phone right away without contracts; unless they have made a deal with the OEM to sell the phone exclusively with a contract (at least for a couple of months).

All that information would only be available in the following weeks.

About the prepaid card, I have never heard of that, I'm sorry.

Maybe someone else over here could give you some ideas about getting the Moto Maxx during your trip.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
The phone is currently out of stock, so there is no way you can get one at this moment, not on store, carrier or from Motorola's page. The phone won't be sold by any carrier or store until mid-end of December, and probably you wouldn't be able to buy it because when a new phone comes out, mexican carriers just sell it in a contract for 1-2 years at least for the first 3-4 months, and you would have to pay around $200-$300 besides the contract for it.

There is no rapid shipping in Motorola's website, all the shippings are made through standard Fedex, and it would take around 12 days (mine took that) too arrive.

It seems that it would be impossible to get the phone according to the dates and availability of the phone at the moment, sorry to say that, but maybe someone in eBay would sell in a future.

:(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
i'll be the third mexican to answer

first of all, currently the phone has been released only in motorola's mexico webpage, theres no carrier version at the moment, but will be in the first weeks of december, no exact date yet, also the carrier version will be more expensive obviously, and once they are avaible, yes you could walk into a store and buy one, all phones are unlocked from any carrier since july from this year. look for telcel which its the same bands as att.

option 2 as you said its prepaid credit cards, i've never seen CREDIT cards, we have prepaid debit cards in soriana which its the mexican walmart, but i dont know if they could work on moto's site, and even if you manage to do that, moto's page doesnt have the option to fast delivery, its just standard delivery, when you order one they ship it from china, so... its kind of difficult.

for the last option i've seen that motorola has some experience booths on the some of the biggest malls on mexico where you can buy directly from them but they are too few of em. link here: http://www.xataka.com.mx/celulares-...hora-es-posible-en-sus-modulos-de-experiencia

thats my two cents.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] marcelopg:
I tried to boot both recoveries (TWRP and CWM) for victara (Moto X 2nd) on my Moto Maxx and it didn't work, it froze on the Motorola logo screen.

I used the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command and the CWM-6.0.5.1-victara-Test-8.img and TWRP 2.8.1.0.

Any sugestions?

The N6 TWRP recovery is for LP and will not work with KK, not sure where that leaves us after the phone updates to LP but for now the dog wont hunt. I got this directly from TWRP on their IRC

The dude messed up. The root method was the XDA's droid Maxx. He has removed that part.

Is it locked to Claro? Can we order it?

I would guess it is locked. Havent tried any other sim in it. Just got it a couple of hours ago.

Just looking around t see if theres a working root for it.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:
Hey Galaxo, do you have Motorola's phone number of customer service? I'm gonna have to call them.

I'm getting impatient, I ordered my MMaxx just 5 hours after you but mine is still in customs waiting for authorization... :mad::crying:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
The phone is: 01 800 021 0000; customs is tricky, some phones are delayed more than others.

:confused:

It took one day less than what Motorola said.

:silly:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:
Thanks! I'm going to wait until tomorrow (Motorola's ETA is on the 25th which obviously won't happen since the phone is still in cutoms) but if it doesn't get released, then I'm going to have to start pushing them really hard.

Thanks again for all the info, you've been quite helpful.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mathab:
I don't think they can do something about that, maybe its better to call Fedex
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ImpheOtus:
Really? But FedEx tracking website says "Clearance instructions from the importer are required."

Isn't that something that Motorola should provide?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
I was calling both Motorola and FedEx about the documents and shipping ever 2 days, but I'm not sure if that helped in some way.

I attach the screen of the shipping, so others can know more less how much time does the purchase take. Just to take in mind, I bought mine on Nov 13 around 3:00AM, and it was delivered today (Nov 24).

Curious about Claro Puerto Rico Moto Maxx. Did you pay for it in full or on contract? Is it available off contract with Claro? How much?

Not available yet in Chile, sold out in Mexico and over $1000 in Brazil. :p So curious about Puerto Rico. Motorola Puerto Rico website only gives specs, not where to buy it. Claro Puerto Rico website doesn't even mention the phone. Very strange.

YOU actually have one. Please give us all details. Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] prking07:
Well i bought it outright no contract. Off contract price here is $650. Its not on their website yet cause it just arrived yesterday afternoon. Also not listed in their site is the Xperia Z3 ($650 off contract) and the Nexus 6 wich arrives this week.

Can someone verify the advantages of having a Moto Maxx over a Verizon Droid Turbo?

Do they have the exact same bands and hardware?

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
They have the same hardware, but not the same bands:

Moto Maxx

GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

LTE 700 / 1700 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 (Bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 17)

Droid Turbo

GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

CDMA 800 / 1900

HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

CDMA2000 1xEV-DO

LTE 700 / 1700 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 (Bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13)

:good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] krabman:
The obvious plus of the Moto Maxx is that the bootloader can be unlocked. As its a GSM device its also a better traveler. More debatable is that many would say the Moto Maxx has the plus of not being tied to the most restrictive and expensive carrier in the US. The bloat is easy enough to kick to the curb even with a locked phone so I wouldn't consider it as part of the equation unless all else was equal.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
So from the looks of it the turbo has more band options? Am I reading this correctly?

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
The Turbo is CDMA based and Verizon locked; the Maxx is GSM based and it is unlocked; besides this, some LTE bands are different.

:cool:
