I would not call it a scam

Hi there!

I would not call it a scam.

Unlocked Fire phone works without problems in Europe and other countries.

I am living in Romania (Europe) and I use one of those "UNLOCKED" Fire Phones, You have mentioned.

And I can certainly confirm to You that everything is working on it as intended here.

Used frequencies on Orange Romania:

2G = 900 Mhz / 1800 Mhz

3G = 2100 Mhz / 900 Mhz

4G = 800 Mhz / 1800 Mhz / 2600 Mhz.

There might be an issue with the type of the SIM card (it is possible that there might be incompatible think USIM cards).

You can simply check if the card is SIM/USIM by the number of supported contacts (SIM has a maximum of 256).
[Amazon Fire Phone] Firetooth:
Amazon has accepted that there is a problem with the phone in India and they have accepted that they have to look into their product description as Unlocked. But they have not made any changes in their page. So it is a scam (DOT)
[Amazon Fire Phone] arth_ur:
As multiple people from India managed to resolve the issue, I'm afraid you are wrong.

Fixed!

Tekify has released a video on his YouTube channel showing how to do it. Worked for me:D

[G 2014 General] xmaciek82x:
Hey everyone, I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus since it came out in late 2011. I think it is time to upgrade. I'm not looking to get the latest and greatest, just a phone that is better and more stable then what I currently have. I know the Moto G (2nd gen) does not have much better specs then my existing phone, so would it be worth the upgrade? Any feedback would be great.

I use my phone for email, games, movies, etc. I also regularly try different roms, kernels, etc.,, so a good dev support is important. I want to get the Nexus 5 but I would prefer to save the $ and use it for other things.

Thanks
[G 2014 General] tmittelstaedt:
I have one. I really like it. Battery life is not great so I would get a car charger if you intend on using it as a mobile GPS. The form factor is shirt pocket and convenient, the CPU is fast enough so the phone response is good, and it's inexpensive so if you drown it in the crapper you won't be pooping bricks right after it.

But you need to be aware that if you get a new one of these that the carrier has contractually obligated Motorola to not provide a bootloader unlock code, then there is no way to root it. Verizon is one of these carriers. If you can find a used phone that hasn't been upgraded to kitkat 4.4.4 then you CAN unlock it with Sunshine. But the carriers pushed 4.4.4 via OTA the minute it became available and all the new ones come with it.

Right now there's a lot of "developer version" moto G's for sale on Ebay. Apparently Motorola screwed up and marked a large number of them in their database as restricted from unlocking, then went and dumped them on the secondary market. These CAN be unlocked but Motorola is handling unlock requests on those on a case-by-case basis.

Some carriers do not restrict bootloader unlocking. Who is your carrier?
[G 2014 General] xmaciek82x:
Thanks for the info! I won;t be going through a carrier, I use T-mobile but usually buy my phone somewhere else and don't worry about contracts. I was going to get the xt1063 on amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Moto-2nd-generation-Unlocked/dp/B00MWI4HW0/ref=dp_ob_title_def

It doesn't seem like I should worry about unlocking it and then rooting since it is not carrier specific. My GNEX has an upgraded battery that is the same as the current moto g one, but the moto g has a more efficient processor so I think I'll be ok with the battery life on the moto g.
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
If you don't plan on going outside the us get the xt1064 instead of global. Updates are not faster on one va the other. Plus the xt1064 has an it's to 5.0.1
[G 2014 General] xmaciek82x:
I do travel outside the US once in a while. Sorry, I am a little confused by your statement. xt1063 does get updates quicker? What other advantages does 1064 have over 1063?
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
They are basically the same phone. The us edition received an update from 21.11.23 to 5.0.1 before the global.

The difference is in the supported bands. The US GSM version includes bands that are used by T-Mobile in the US. Frequency Bands (by model) US GSM Model: (Optimized for T-Mobile US) GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 1700 (AWS), 1900 MHz) Global GSM Model: (Optimized for AT&T and Global Use) GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
[G 2014 General] jayjr1105:
So is there still no 5.0.1 for the Global XT1063?
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Yes and no..... For XT1063 If your phone comes with 21.11.17 then yes there are 3 otas to flash 22.11.6 22.11.16 and 22.21.25. If it comes with 21.11.23 then you are still waiting for lollipop. For XT1064 if your phone comes with 21.11.17 then you can upgrade only to 5.0 with ota 22.11.6 if it has 22.11.23 there is an ota for 5.0.1 in 22.21.25.

If you are not afraid of unlocking the boot loader then you can flash firmware to get to 5.0.1 either way
[G 2014 General] jayjr1105:
Yep, XT1063 on 21.11.23. Unlocking the BL requires a request to Motorola correct? And it voids warranty automatically?
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Yup. Its only 149.99 for me so I didn't care and unlocked the boot loader. If you don't do that its a waiting game for the ota, or someone with root to pull their ota and post.
[G 2014 General] Lokke9191:
I have a n5 and my wife has a moto g 2014. Without a doubt pay the extra 100 or 150 and buy the n5. Its better in every way possible, even battery life if you flash elementalX kernal.
[G 2014 General] draztikrhymez:
My HTC M7 died so I picked a 2nd Gen unlocked G up. Its not bad at all so far we'll see after I get lollipop how it runs.
[G 2014 General] jayjr1105:
Clearly spec wise the N5 is a better phone. You're stating the obvious. People buy the Moto G because they want to save some money. That extra $150 could potentially buy you 6 months worth of phone service. Some people value the $ savings vs. having a slightly faster, larger phone.
[G 2014 General] Lokke9191:
When I said every way possible, I was not referring to merely the specs. Every way possible, including dev support, kernels, roms, n5 is less glitchy, feels better in the hand, better screen quality, etc. etc. . Ive never had a freeze up, or random reboot like my wifes moto g has almost everyday. Id easily pay 150 dollars to avoid having a year of frustration with my phone, that i use every day and rely on. If people like you want to put up with sub par dev, and a glitchy device that feels like a brick, made of dated hardware just to save 150 bucks, have fun with that. Im all for saving money, which is why my wife bought the moto g instead of spending a little more and getting an n5, which I've had problem free since release. Big mistake.
[G 2014 General] mark_kou:
I used to have a Nexus5 which I sold and bought the moto g. For normal everyday use there's no significant difference(at least for me). Battery life was horrible on the nexus, something that was obviously better when I used the elementalx kernel, but the moto g lasts even longer with the exact same use. SOT 5hr 20' on the nexus (with changed kernel) where on the moto g I can easily get 6hours and it's completely stock. My record is 7 hours 6'. And to be honest I never had a reboot having the phone for 3 months now.

Στάλθηκε από το Moto G μου
[G 2014 General] doctor_droid:
Exactly the same situation here...however i gave my nexus 5 to elder brother...

Finally got rid of horrible battery life... Moto g2 runs widout a glitch and more than happy to keep it wid me... Although no custom rom support but i dont care as long as i dont feel the urgency to flash one :p
[G 2014 General] bluehacker007:
I don't have any experience with the n5 but my experience with my new moto g 2014 has been nothing like what lokke9191 is describing. I've had 0 reboots, 0 boot loops and 0 app crashes. Just like anyone else, I need a dependable phone as well and I've had no indication that the moto G 2014 doesn't meet that requirement. I would recommend reading a few reviews on both the moto G 2013 and the 2014 to get a better sense of the bang for your buck these phones give you as far as specs go.

I'm on Tmobile and passed up the opportunity to get a moto x for $340 and couldn't be happier with my moto g. I got a Consumer Cellular xt1064 from Sears for $150 and paid $3 for an unlock code on Ebay. I needed tethering so the first thing I did was get a stock xt1064 KitKat ROM (21.11.23) and I've stuck with it since (I'm not going to go to Lollipop yet because of the reports of bugs across almost all Android devices).

Edit: @OP: I would look very carefully into xt1063 vs xt1064 - the Consumer Cellular Sears models appear to be xt1064 and not xt1063. Also, I don't know if the xt1063 will get H+ on Tmobile but the xt1064 definitely does. If the xt1063 doesn't get H+ you're going to be stuck on 2G.

Finally, I don't think it is fair to compare XDA support for the n5 to that of the moto g 2014 - the n5 has been out way longer than the moto g 2014. I had no trouble finding what I needed on XDA to get the stock Motorola KitKat installed (vs the Consumer Cellular ROM). Also, depending on what the needs of the OP are, custom ROMs could be a total waste of time.
[G 2014 General] jayjr1105:
My wife's moto G has been fantastic in every way. Battery is 3 times better than her Galaxy S2, 0 random reboots or any nonsense like that. She is on Straight Talk $45 unlimited plan. Plain and simple it's an amazing phone for $150. I do regret getting the global version over the US. I will likely stick with AT&T prepaid providers but it would have been nice to have Tmobile as an option. Still is just no 4G.
[G 2014 General] draztikrhymez:
On day 3 now and haven't had a single random reboot or any problems. Battery life has been great and lollipop is running without a hitch.

Also I have the unlocked US version on tmobile and don't really feel the loss of LTE with what I do.

Great phone for the price
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
LTE is overrated in my opinion
[G 2014 General] draztikrhymez:
Honestly I agree in the sense that depending on what the average user does on their phone really H+ is enough

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] keithspg:
I have spent quite a bit of time educating myself on this and still have not come up with a solution. What I want is the simple, old, google provided 'Car Home' apk to work in 4.4.2 when I plug the phone into the dock. It used to work with the phone when I got it. It works somewhat with CM10/11. I recently put S3Rx final on the phone and like it quite a bit. The main reason I put it on instead of CM11 was the voice search function does not work when docked in CM11. (The internal mic is clobbered). CM is not interested in fixing it. This failure is consistent with all AOSP roms AFAIK.

With this S3Rx rom, when I plug it into the dock, it does go into '"Hands Freee" mode, but I think this only enables S-Voice. SO, this new 4.4.2 TW rom does monitor the UBS port and can detect when it is 'docked', but it does not provide an alternate UI like "car home".

I did try installing the new Samsung Drive apk form the non-att S5 roms. I do not know if it launches when docked, but it is pretty lame in comparison to the old google app, IMO. Does anyone know why it will not launch or how we might be able to fix it for 4.4.2? It does launch in CM's verison of 4.4.4...

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s.mihir94:
Hello friends i purchased 2nd gen moto g on 25th dec in india from flipkart! I got it delivered on 26th dec. that was really fast! thank you for that flipkart!

But after using it for next 2-3 days i found white pixels on my moto g to be little yellowish! i compared my moto g to my friend's moto g(same model) and his phone is perfectly fine! i tried digging for the solution on internet and i found out that some other people also complain about the same! they also said that the replacement unit is also same! Is there anyone else from india who is facing the same issue? What i should do? Will flipkart replace my phone? Really worried.. and if it replaces the device is there any chance for new device having the same problem ? :(

Please share your experience about replacement with flipkart in india.

May be if someone has bought Moto G 2014 in last few days can check their phone and reply? Just wanna know if the whole bunch of stock is damaged?!?!?! may be?

here is the screen shot i took with my phone! I have no idea if it looks yellowish in screenshot or not! that can be a hardware fault or an lollipop update will fix it ?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MechanicaIMan:
Are you just saying that you think the color temperature is too warm or what? A screenshot won't show that. Pictures posted by other owners have shown color temperature variance of ~1000K or more, and the measurements I've seen vary greatly. PhoneArena measured their review sample at 8290K, NotebookCheck measured one at 7336K, and I measured my own XT1064 at 6855K (20% - 100%). So there seems to be a large variance. Because it is typical for phones to have a color temperature that is too cool, I wonder if some of you people who complain about "yellow" screens may actually have phones that are reasonably close to the ideal of ~6500K and perhaps don't know what an accurate color temperature looks like?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy_Rohit:
Although I've a different kitkat phone but I don't see any color difference b/w mine & yours(in msg. app, for instance)...Both appear same.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MechanicaIMan:
This won't show up in a screenshot. He would need to take an actual photo of the phone to show the color temperature, but that would be affected by the lighting, the camera, our monitors....

The version of Android will have no affect on this at all, and Android doesn't support color correction.

It would be rare for phones to have a color temp that is too warm. They are usually too cool.

But FWIW, the phone shown in this picture does appear to have a very warm color temp. There is obviously a huge variance from unit to unit, and it may be even more of a problem in India than elsewhere. My US model has a decent (slightly cool) color temp and slightly undersaturated colors. It's a big improvement from my Sensation.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s.mihir94:
Yeah bro thanks for care but the android version is just okey because my friend is on the same stock ROM that i have! And his phone is just fine!

I dont know much about color temp on any device honestly! but i just know is that the phone that i have it's display looks sooo dull due to yellow color on white pixels! i compared it with the other phone (same model "Moto G 2014") that my friend has! His phone displays perfect clear white! That makes me worried about this thing being a defective unit! I have seen on internet people talking about putting their phone in direct sunlight to remove yellow tint but i dont think i should do this coz i just bought it from Flipkart so its their responsibility to provide a fully working unit!

I will only keep this if a software update can fix this issue!

Though i have already requested replacement i haven't got any call back from them to ensure the replacement process! This is the first time i'm feeling this bad service from flipkart :(

I'm attaching a picture taken with other camera in the first post! take a look.. sorry about the picture quality! i just hav my old nokia phone that i can use as a camera for now!

I have added another screenshot and i see there is nothing wrong coming up in the screen shot so Is it the hardware issue with the LCD panel ? :o :crying
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parth7667:
Have the same issue. And other too.

I have the same issue with my unit itself. It is way too yellowish. Color calibration is always same for the same model from the software-side. Eg. Your's and your friend's phone. So it is a hardware issue. Good thing you requested for replacement. Flipkart will take a bit of time to get back to you on Electronics replacement, because they would like to help you troubleshoot first with the assumption that just something is set wrong and it is not a hardware issue. I requested yesterday and they got back to me today only. Just for information, I requested replacement for flushed buttons on side. I have a really hard to press power button and volume rocker. Replacement is on it's way. And yours will be soon too, nothing to worry.

Btw, how are the buttons feeling on your phone? Is it mushy or hard to press or something like that? Just so I know.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s.mihir94:
Yes thank you for reply :) i got my replacement approved and on it's way now. Will reach to me before 8th jan! Soo excited once again! :p

Read somewhere that a guy asked for the replacement for his yellowish looking display on moto g and got the same issue on new replacement unit (from Flipkart ofc)! I hope that wont happen to us. Fingers cross!

Talking about the buttons, they were hard on the first day but got lose just in 2 days after i started using it! My friend told me to be careful with buttons as they get very loose overtime!

Can you tell me when you got your moto g delivered to you?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parth7667:
Same old same old.

Received my replacement. Has the same yellowish tint, nothing too distracting though. And same old S#itty buttons. Very disappointed.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s.mihir94:
yeah same thing! I also got it today! same yellow tint! and mushy buttons! I think the buttons were better on the previous unit! I'm thinking of keeping this now! what ure doing with ur device?

I saw that the same tint is found on the new one plus one! And also people are saying it goes away in 2-3 weeks! or by putting the phone in sunlight for 2 hours!

are you going for another replacement? Do they give refund??
