[T-Mobile LG G4] jagman96:
I've read concerns about unlocking the bootloader on the 815 variant potentially voiding warranty. I think it was Autoprime but I remember one of the devs in the Simple Root thread saying the T-Mobile BL isn't locked or unlocked once rooted... basically it is open for lack of a better term. Can one interpret that as meaning we have the benefit of an unlocked BL without the warranty concerns? Does that mean we can go back to stock and they'd never knowing the phone was rooted provided the T-Mobile app asking for root was disabled prior to actually rooting? I've searched quite a bit but not seen a definitive answer specifically for the 811h variant. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G4] cajunflavoredbob:
There is no way to lock or unlock the bootloader on the H811. It's a "special" or "odd" bootloader in that it is only ever open. Since it cannot be unlocked, there is no downside to your phone being in its normal state, however odd its normal state might be.

As far as root goes, T-Mobile is using it as an excuse to say "well you shouldn't have rooted" when you're having software issues, so they can tell you to factory reset instead of troubleshooting. If your phone dies or something, they would have to prove that root was the cause in order to deny a warranty claim. Considering how much T-Mobile is enjoying being the favorite carrier in the spotlight, I doubt they would risk a media storm by telling you that you're warranty is void and they won't repair something unless you did something dumb and root access was the cause. It's more of a safety net for them than something they are going to pursue. Either way, freezing/removing the T-Mobile app and denying SU is a great thing to do.
[T-Mobile LG G4] jagman96:
I went ahead and did it. Super easy process. Thanks for the advice!
[T-Mobile LG G4] dislplin01:
Pro tip for everyone reading you can just call them and play dumb like you don't know what happened, you just woke up and turned it on like that and they will warranty it no problem, and, In fact there is a very real possibility that if you are on XDA you may e more tech savvy than the person you are talking too.
[T-Mobile LG G4] mawells787:
I've never used an LG phone besides my nexus5, but if the bootloader is unlocked. Then why can't we just flash twrp through adb and then flash superSU?
[T-Mobile LG G4] cajunflavoredbob:
The T-Mobile bootloader cannot be unlocked, nor can it be locked. It is special. We are able to disable security, but we are not able to unlock the bootloader like the European model. Basically, this is the best it's going to get unless there's a bootloader update that fixes this. If that happens, we would then need to be allowed to unlock the bootloader through LG in order to get fastboot actions.

If you've ever used an HTC device, think of it as S-Off without BL unlock. It's weird, but it works.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leon_r:
Sorry, me compleet noob. But i managed to root and custom rom my GT-I9300.

Has latest crdroid on it. Works perfect accept i can't acces the google play store. When i tab the icon it blinks white and dissapears. At this point i have no clue on solving this.
[Moto G 2015 General] ben7337:
I just got an 8GB/1GB model Moto G XT-1540from BestBuy, it looks like the ones from Motorola directly take time to come in, and this was an instant way to test and compare the Moto G. So far these are things I noticed.

1) The haptic feedback makes the phone sound like something is shaking inside, which feels a bit cheap. This may be a bad early production model.

2) There is no notification light though androidpit did show a picture of one. Not sure where they got their pic since it does seem to be a moto g 3rd gen in their pics.

3) There is no gryoscope, pressure sensor, or temperature sensor in the phone. It does have a magnetic sensor.

4) The back plate around the camera accent seems to have a small gap on one side even thought everything is clicked in, it may not be waterproof due to this, or maybe it's just variation in manufacturing, but it does worry me a bit.

5) The camera does have a 720p slo-mo option

6) It seems to open things faster than my Galaxy s4, which really surprised me, but is definitely nice to see.

7) There's no really good way to display battery percentage. Moto didn't build an option in, and the lollipop built in option needs to be enabled by an app and results in a very small percentage in the battery icon itself which is hardly legible. As roms and root and custom options come out, I suspect there will be ways to fix this, but in the meantime it's kind of stinky.

8) It has an FM radio. The app requires headphones to be plugged in as it uses them as the antenna, but it seems to work pretty well. I don't really care about this feature too much, but I know some people do.

I still haven't put it through anything too taxing, but if anyone wants to know if it can run any particular games ok or anything feel free to ask, or if there's any features you're curious about.

EDIT: Also I wanted to note one more thing that really blew me away. This phone has the same storage, ram, and a higher resolution screen compared to the LG Leon, which is a cheap T-mobile branded phone. I bought one of them about a month ago to test, and despite a lower res screen and the same general specs, it was laggy, annoying, and the low res screen was a huge nuisance as so little could fit on it. Compared to that phone the Moto G runs buttery smooth and goes a great job, it really is fairly comparable to my Galaxy S4 and seems to load things quicker, though it does also seem to have priority on wifi which means it gets all the bandwidth while the S4 is struggling to get its share, which may partly account for that.
[Moto G 2015 General] Cer3alKiller:
Could you conffirm usb otg support ?

Thanks in advance man, i'm looking forward to get the 2gb version myself. Some people over the internet say there is no usb otg support, i think it's kind of an unlikely scenario, but it would be nice if an actual user confirms it.
[Moto G 2015 General] ben7337:
The USB OTG Checker app says the phone has the API. I don't have anything I can plug into the phone to test that for signal though. Hope this helps even if just a bit. If there's a way to test actual functionality without a female usb a to male micro usb b, let me know. I do have a wireless keyboard but without a cable like that, I don't think there's a way for me to test the functionality.
[Moto G 2015 General] manan.dope:
There is USB-OTG support.

There is USB-OTG support. The phone is pretty much good. Does the work, but, I would have preferred a gyroscope sensor instead of FM Radio.
[Moto G 2015 General] ben7337:
Me too, gyroscope is way more useful than Radio, I'd rather have a notification light too though, it costs next to nothing and is so useful. Moto display isn't nearly as functional.
[Moto G 2015 General] m4tt94:
It's pretty sad that it doesn't have a gyroscope, last years model did have one.
[Moto G 2015 General] Oddb411:
Gotta disagree, I love the FM radio and am glad Motorola still includes it. It's a bummer about the gyroscope, but I never used it. I'm much more disappointed by the lack of a notification LED and being forced to use Moto Display.

Speaking of which, does the Moto Display show music player controls on the lockscreen? I use Poweramp and I'm wondering if I would be able to pause/play/rewind/skip on the lockscreen without having to input a PIN or do extra actions just to get to the music controls.
[Moto G 2015 General] ben7337:
No it does not. I just put poweramp on my phone and when I flip the phone up to turn on moto display it only shows the time and the unlock option because I have no notifications at the moment. If I use the power button to turn on the screen I can see the skip and play/pause options for poweramp though, so there is that. Hope that helps.
[Moto G 2015 General] Oddb411:
Thanks for answering. So Moto Display doesn't show the Poweramp controls even though it has a persistent notification? That's a real bummer since Google Play Music apparently has Moto Display controls. I guess it's not a huge loss since you'd have to press the power button on every other phone to get to the lockscreen controls anyway.
[Moto G 2015 General] ben7337:
Yup, just tested with google play music which is what I normally use since it works best with my bluetooth in my car in my experience. It does show in moto display.
[Moto G 2015 General] JulesJam:
yeah the FM radio is great!
[Moto G 2015 General] ben7337:
It has multiple accelerometers for orientation, but no gyroscope. I tested with a sensor tester yesterday and noted it in my main post. Just installed z device test and found the same, there is no gyroscope.
[Moto G 2015 General] Techguy18:
Too bad. Motorola.. seriously?

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

Does the phone have a panorama function? Is it 360 degrees?
[Moto G 2015 General] ben7337:
No it doesn't have panorama function, and by multiple accelerometers I mean I think it has the standard number of axes other phones do for accelerometers, but it works on more than just x and y, though maybe I'm wrong there.
[Moto G 2015 General] squid2:
No, the phone does have panorama support with the Motorola camera app. Even the 2015 Moto E has panorama support. The purpose of the dual accelerometers is for the gestures and panorama functionality. They emulate some of a gyroscope's functionality using two accelerometers.
[Moto G 2015 General] ben7337:
Sorry, it supports panorama, what it doesn't support is photosphere.
[Moto G 2015 General] falcon26:
Does the Moto G have the active display like the moto x? I mean can I just wave my hand over the phone and it will light up with notifications and such without touching the phone...
[Moto G 2015 General] Techguy18:
But would there be any way to emulate a gyroscope? A hack or alternative app for Photospheres?

Those tilt control racing games work.. they use accelerometers?
[Moto G 2015 General] squid2:
The accelerometer should be adequate for a tilt control racing game.

Emulating a gyroscope with the dual accelerometers and magnetometer would be an interesting but challenging task. I'll be busy for the next couple weeks, but I could look into creating a kernel module that does this when I get time. Obviously, it wouldn't be perfect, since we'd be fudging the data of a sensor that isn't actually there, but it should be possible to create a good enough imitation for photo sphere to work.
[Moto G 2015 General] ronj1986:
It Has Active Display

Yes it has active display. After I wave my hand and it displays notifications it won't do so again for awhile.
[Moto G 2015 General] AbhijeetNagawade:
It does have Active Display but no touchless control
[Moto G 2015 General] Techguy18:
squid2 thanks a ton!

It's such a nice phone, dunno why Motorola left out the gyro and ruined it. Will still buy it most probably though :)

Even if it isn't too accurate, would be nice to get photo-sphere to work.
[Moto G 2015 General] falcon26:
Wait so what is it? One guy says it does and one guy says it doesn't :) And I can't find any info on that on any web site...
[Moto G 2015 General] samven582:

What does it do?

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Received 2/16 yesterday. First impression its very fast, fluid, no lag. Neither the earpiece or speaker are loud. I'd say acceptable volume, but my gs3/cm12 is much louder. GS3 wasn't originally so loud out of the box, so i hope future custom roms improve moto g. I've always had flat phones. When trying to operate on flat surface like a desk, it wobbles. A little annoying. I'm glad its not LG Flex. Prior to this i bought LG Stylo. Polarized sunglasses make Stylo and this phone dark in landscape viewing. Almost cried because i wanted to return this phone but i don't have a screen protector on it yet. Put a cheap ebay protector over it and its perfect in portrait/landscape. Glad i returned 5.7" Stylo. Can't tolerate anything larger than G. Feels good in the hand but wish it was flat like my other phones. Back cover doesn't creek. It doesn't seal the back. Youtube videos show water under the cover. Moto says only fresh water. I'm around salt water so other than rain i don't plan to use it underwater without a protective case. I'd rather have something useful than IPX7 certification. I'm not crazy about the camera accent and textured back. Prefer smooth grippy material. 720p slow mo is fun. Not amazing but ok. I was concerned about the lack of physical home button or screen knock. Screen unlocking is not an issue most of the time. I guess moto screen works with accelerometer? and constantly monitors position of the phone. WiFi is good, GPS is instant compared to my other devices. It has N6 cam sensor. N6 does 4k video. Would be amazing to unlock/hack 4k in G. The screen is bright and usable in bright sunlight, compared to gs3.

First time i listened to the fm radio the phone rebooted after a few minutes of use. Did not overheat, not many apps running in background. Will need to do more fm tuner testing. I use it for pics/videos, dashcam. Recorded video ~8-10 min length while driving, 93+F hot sunny outside, AC running inside. The back got hot, the screen got very hot. Usually my LG phones would shut down, disable brightness control, disable charging to prevent overheating. This phone doesn't seem to have a thermal sensor? It just keeps going? Is it normal to get very hot, especially in the screen? Never had anything like this before, first experience with moto brand.
[Moto G 2015 General] Techguy18:
Wave? Don't you have to physically life the phone?
[Moto G 2015 General] guest_2011:
I wave my hand but nothing happens when i have new messages. Lifting the phone activates screen unlock.
[Moto G 2015 General] samven582:
Am I the only one who has a yellow tint on the bottom of screen?
[Moto G 2015 General] 144556:
why they do 8GB/1GB model
[Moto G 2015 General] scott_doyland:
Good question, seems pointless to have an 8GB model.

People who need space will use SD card anyway. People who need less space surely need at least 16GB model. I plan to buy 16GB as I know its enough space for me, but 8GB is not.

And why would I want just 1GB memory, may as well future proof it with 2GB to be on safe side.

And why is 16GB difficult to buy, seems in UK only 8GB available. Perhaps 16GB sold out ;)
[Moto G 2015 General] ZETROzky:
System Dump?

Anyone got a system dump or the apks yet?
[Moto G 2015 General] aaopt:
Battery percentage in the status bar icon is too small, I agree. But if you slide down the quick shade, and slide it down AGAIN for the quick toggles, then you can see the percentage in somewhat more normal text next to the battery icon.
[Moto G 2015 General] Techguy18:
Does the phone have a compass? does navigation (google maps) work fine?
[Moto G 2015 General] aaopt:
I use a different app, but navigation works fine.
[Moto G 2015 General] Techguy18:
Does the map rotate when you rotate the phone? (aka does the compass work?)

CPUZ showed a manetic sensor, but I read somewhere that the phone has no compass.
[Moto G 2015 General] aaopt:
It is rotating. Direction is off, perhaps due to the computers in my office. Calibration helped a little.
[Moto G 2015 General] Techguy18:
Calibration? There's an option to do that?
[Moto G 2015 General] forgeek:
For the price, you cant go wrong with this phone. I brought this for my mum a few days ago its absolutely brilliant for the price
[Moto G 2015 General] golgiapp:
I love this phone so far but the one thing I hate is the lack of notification light. How do you NOT put that on? So annoying.
[Moto G 2015 General] Tel864:
I don't know if it's a general way to do it, but I have the smart tools app that contains various tools for measurement, magnification, and such. In its compass app it says to calibrate the compass by holding it in the air and rotating your arm in a figure 8 pattern.
[Moto G 2015 General] Tuborg68:
Thanks for sharing guys! Any more input on 1gb vs 2gb? Here in Sweden only 1gb version is available at the moment and I need to get a phone now (birthday gift). Figured Moto G 3gen would be a good option. But maybe the 1gb version is just to laggy...

[Moto G 2015 General] thedude59:
I have had the 1gb for about a week now and no issues. It surfs the web, makes calls, texts, streams music, YouTube no problem. And I get excellent battery life. Love this phone. Lolipop is much better then KitKat, much easier to use. Great camera also. And the karate chop flash feature is so useful. This phone has an SD card slot, and water proof for like 30 minutes. You will not be disappointed with this device. Only thing I don't like about the phone is front facing speakers because when its in my pocket the speaker seems to get muffled.
[Moto G 2015 General] nebulaoperator:
I have had my one for over week now. 16GB 2GB RAM version.This phone is simply superb given price tag. I am actually amazed of how fast, lag ,stutter free this phone is . I simply fly through the phone . I don't do games but lots of reading , photo taking music.I had X play and I sent it bag because of those issues and bought this one as a transition phone. It also my first experience with Android stock (near stock) . I absolutely love the simplicity of it. Screen is very nice and pleasant to stare at pixel density is fine ( coming from FHD and Iph6) for both watching films and reading. Speaker is Ok loud not the cleariest but does the job. phone is very comfortable to hold in the palm so the one hander at ease.

It has very good camera though have tendency to saturate greens/yellows depending on the exposure but generally I am very happy. I didn't expected it to be on that level.

No the battery life. Kidding me right? All day long. 4 hours SOT . Half day LTE half day Wi-Fi . 50% brightness. Some 75 photos taken , 4 video recordings, browsing music , few phone calls , hangouts. If wi-fi only expect battery better.

Great phone great price and even greater performance.
[Moto G 2015 General] JasonValentine:
I've been using this little buddy for a couple of days (speaking about the 8Gb/1Gb variant), and i'm pretty pleased with it.

I come from the good old 1st Gen Moto G 4G, and the experience is just as it should be.

I mean, I don't think there is that much difference in term of speed performance between the 1st and 3rd gen, but the original Moto G always gave me entire satisfaction : never had lags, stutters, and the experience on 5.1 was just a blast.

This Moto G 2015 is just about the same with bigger screen, bigger battery life (yes, it's possible) and better camera.

And I think that's what I expect from my phones, I use them a lot but I'm not a poweruser.

If you are the kind of guy, like me, who use his phone for texting, chrome, spotify, tripadvisor, forecasts, news, etc ... as a smartphone but not as a handheld console, well this Moto G is just what a phone should be in term of speed, battery, etc ...

The only thing about this entry-level variant (the 8gb/1gb) is not about the RAM, cause I have 0 issue with this single gb of RAM (and this is coming from a guy who owned a 2012 Nexus 7 and it's spotify lags when you were browsing Chrome) but about the storage ...

8Gb was manageable back in 2012 but nowadays apps are becoming more and more storage-hungry and even with an SD Card I'm not sure It will be manageable on a long term.

If I find it to be too short, I'll probably offer this little guy to my girlfriend and order the 16Gb one (which is currently OOS in France).

But if your main concern is about the 1 gig of RAM, well, there's no reason to worry about it : this little guy litterally flies just like the original Moto G did out of the box.

Must buy.
[Moto G 2015 General] aion11:
I was confused by that post as well I have to lift or move the phone a bit.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

I can see the battery percentage when I expand the notifications menu. Was this added in an update after you wrote your comments?
[Moto G 2015 General] ben7337:
Maybe, I don't have the phone anymore since it didn't have band 12, but I like being able to see signal strength and battery life in my status bar, so it's something I immediately know, having to pull down the notification is just as slow and annoying as having to pull it down then tap a button to tap a shortcut for quick toggles when most roms have had quick toggles directly in the notification panel for years. That's something Google really needs to change, quick toggles are slow toggles, and what you said is needed to check battery life sounds like a slow check too.
