[Moto G General] Archies:
FAQ:

Q: When will i get OTA updates(Android 5.0)?

- Motorola is working on it kindly wait as bugs are not easy to fix.

Q: Can I flash the OTA file in my rooted/unrooted Moto G with stock rom?

- No, you need to be on pure stock images to flash the OTA file (i.e) flash the stock firmware first to flash the OTA

-There is method(for users with some knowledge,noobs keep out!)

Updater script of OTA has lines to check the system partition before flashing

So,download the captured OTA and remove those lines in the updater script and flash the OTA in recovery ;)

Q: Should i convert XT1033 to XT1032/XT1034 model as it is getting the OTA update(Android 4.4.3)?

- Will your hand or phone burn if you get the update 2-3 weeks late? if yes convert it and flash the update and if you aint got patience.

Q: I still cant wait that long for the update!

- Root the phone, flash custom recovery and flash custom roms like CM11,Omni,Mokee,etc which have already released 4.4.3/4.4.4 based roms.

Q: My Moto G takes long time to charge.

- Try a different charger

Q: First time charge ?

- Minimum 8 hours should do it!

Q: Will the white notification LED light when charging?

- Not always. The white notification LED only lights when charging and the battery voltage is not enough to power the display.

Q: My battery backup is low.

- Try Re-calibrating your battery, Try a Factory Reset, Use a Task Killer, Use Greenify. If it still does'nt help, you ought to get a replacement.

Battery calibration steps: (provided my MOTO CARE)

*Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more.

*Unplug the charger.

*Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.

*Unplug the charger.

*Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes.

*Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.

*Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot bettery now.

Q: Shall i switch to ART ?

- NO,many apps are still not compatible with ART RUNTIME. Do if you want better battery and don't require much apps.

Q: Can i use single sim custom rom on dual sim ?
