Am I at the right place???

Wow!
Is this the moto g forum? I take it it is, but it looks so quiet!
I just got my moto g today 100 quid and I know the phone is very new on the market, but I thought it would have been a lot busier here. Not even the usual nice xda phone specs header on the main page?
Either I am very lucky in getting on of these phones quick or no one is buying them lol.

Today is the first day the Moto G is sold in germany officially, in other countries the same.
So enjoy being one of the first users

The Forum JUST opened which would be why it is so quiet. Also, it is just now being released in several countries. I am excited for when it finally hits the USA and I will probably pick one up!

Too bad the 16GB is not available yet. Btw: here in the Netherlands they ask 199 EUR for 8GB ...

Patience young one.
This device has only just been released, you got to wait till January when the US get it available. The flood gates will open then.

Phones4u.. they are the only ones that I could find in the UK that have the phone in the shops...
The other shops just said Moto what? idiots lol.
Anyway because my partner had an orange sim pay as you go it reduced the price to 99,95!!! and free white cover (phone is black) looks gorgeous with the white back and black front
I was shocked it was the last shop I was going to try as there seemed no chance anyone would have it :/ and bingo, they had it.
Good luck.

The dual sim 16 GB is around U$350 on the Motorola website, but you can find it for U$300 in other stores.

[Discussion] HTC ONE E8 - General/Varied topics

The reason of making this thread is making a GENERAL DISCUSSION about the phone
Example : news , software updates news , user experience . user problems & more

Hi ! I want to buy this phone, where can I buy it the best price...
I live in France

root acces
Are there active users of the HTC One E8 (dual sim) on this forum?
I received mine today but it doesn't have root access so I can not use titanium backup. I already tried getting root access using WeakSauce but unfortunately that did't work.
Besides this little problem (that will be fixed) I'm very than happy with the phone!

Brazilian language
I'm thinking in buying a E8 but I got a question to who got one:
Does the E8 have under language settings the Portuguese Brazil (pt-br) option?
Thanks in advance!

My China version only Chinese and English

AFAIK, there is no root method for this, except for HTCDEV bootloader unlock.
I did that and then flashed SuperSu. I got root.
But i am still having other issues and still trying to sort out the kinks...
thanks

Hi All
My friend wants to buy the E8 white version. But in few reviews, it is said that white has silver finish on the front, which does not look so good.
He does not mind the glossiness. Can someone tell me if the white looks good? I havent had a chance to look at it personally.
Does white with silver look odd? Or it looks classy? Please comment

The silver part is just like 1/10 of the front part. To the eye, it even looks whitish unless u pay attention to it only

Ambiguity- HTC one E8 vs Moto X vs Nexus 5
Hey Guys,
I want to buy a phone and am confused between HTC E8 and Nexus 5 and Moto X. Price wise Moto X is similar to HTC E8, however nexus 5 i can get at around 5k lower price than the other two.
I am greatly fascinated by HTC one E8 features and want to buy the phone. Most of my friends who use this says that HTC doesn't upgrade the OS and the best you can have with E8 is Android L. However for google supported phones such issue will not arise. Can you guys help me with your experience with HTC phones and how important is the OS upgrade.

Wow, you're lucky! Moto X is not available where I live, and the Nexus 5 costs as much as the E8...
All of the devices you mention will run any apps just fine, so the difference lies in the UI. Do you prefer Android L to Sense? If you do, get the X or N5. I like Sense a lot and even think it looks better than L in some regards. My experience with this phone has been quite pleasant, apart from the sound...
I think E8 is similar enough to M8, so maybe it'll get the same treatment as M8 regarding OTA updates. That said, I've only received one OTA update, and haven't got the Eye Experience OTA yet. Someone from my country has ported some ROMs from the M8 to E8, but hasn't released them. I hope that we'll get ported ROMs soon. I won't use them anyway, but other users may benefit from them.

Advice before buying

Hello my friends
Am a holder of a MI2
And i decided to buy Mi4 and i need your advice...
Am living in Cyprus (Europe)
1. Which sites are trusted.? And which are you recommend
2. What to choose standard English rom or multi rom
3. When do we expect black colour?
4.what shipping method to choose?

No one??

Hi,
1) Sites that are trusted are http://www.xiaomishop.com/ and http://www.ibuygou.com/
To name a few. I would recommend xiaomishop because you can choose to ship from Europe so you avoid customs, taxes etc
2) The phone will ship with normal MIUI which has Chinese or English language . If you want more languages see the multi rom version here http://xiaomi.eu/community/
3) Black was released in China only on the 28th of October. There is no date for international availability
4) For shipping, I would recommend http://www.xiaomishop.com/
Because they have a warehouse in Europe, make sure to choose that option to make thigns easier :good:
Hope I helped.
Regards

Thank you..
So there is no black version for other countries??
Also do you know vickomall. Com? It looks to have the best prices,

No black version in other countries, not yet.
Vickmall prices are the same as xiaomishop, 389 dollars. With Vickmall they are located in China so you will have to deal with customs and taxes whereas xiaomishop has a warehouse in europe so it will be easier for you :good:

But they want 35 euros for delivery, and that is ridiculous...

since today, the black version is available on xiaomi's shop. Just ordered mine.

I've ordered both my Mi3 and Mi4 from xiaomiworld
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi4

Is it still worth buying? I don't really care a lot about LTE. I was wondering if is still a good choice Mi4 64GB and how much should i pay for a second-hand ? 300€?

Yes it is worth byuing, i'm going to update my white to black version when i see good price. Don't care 4G either, all frequencies are not supported here so i'm not gonna pay extra for it.
I like especially display and camera, also speaker phone works very well compared to other phones i've had. MIUI v6 is still work in progress, but xiaomi.eu developer versions have been good enough for daily use, not major problems so far.

absolutely! Been using it for a few weeks now and can't spot any disadvantage. Only the battery seems a bit weak, but up to now, i always got past one day without the need of recharging.

LG G Flex 2 Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Hey guys, i looked up on the net for this but on news articles it says it will get the upgrade but on some forums people say they contacted LG and they say it won't get the upgrade. Do you know what will happen for certain? Please let me know.

I think its just matter of time when will they confirm it officially, LG PL said they cant give exact info,but LG Romania said they will roll update in H1 2016,so we got to wait. Also on LG Smartworld there appeared option for Android 6.0,so its close.

Well I hope they confirm it soon because I will choose to buy G Flex 2 over G3 if it supports Marshmallow. What do you think, which one would last me longer? I won't be buying a new phone for at least 2 years, so i want good specs on my phone.

Well,hard to say which one will have better support. Overall,G3 has better support from community,but i cant say anything about LG support itself. The G2 is unexpected to receive Android 6 for example and it went through 4.2.2 and ended on Android 5.1,and i think its good support,while G Flex 1 started on Android 4.4 just receiver 5.0 with no word about 5.1,not even 6.0,and thats what im afraid of with G Flex 2. But A 6.0 is almost confirmed,so its maybe better now with Flex series

u should buy a Nexus or a high end smartphone with unlocked bootloader
so you should get the newest version of Android from Google or CM
if you search a smartphone from a OEM u should pick HTC (90 days update delay to Google) or Moto
other OEMs have a bigger delay with new updates.

I was thinking about buying a moto x pure or nexus 5x but they dont sell it here in Turkey. And i don't have that much money to buy one of the lastest flagships. So with a budget about 400$ at most (here in Turkey latest phones are at about 600$ right now) i have options like lg g3, g flex 2, htc m8 and sony xperia m5 (won't buy a samsung phone anytime soon) and the first two are the best among these in my opinion. So what would you recommend from these ones?

Truth is , nobody can answer this question , we can only hope it will. But I don't mind 6.0 really , ux 4.0 is what I am after

Yes,on amazon or ebay G Flex 2 goes around 200 USD unlocked,i think its fair price.
PS: Android 6 must be really close-i found folder CapturePlus in system files (CapturePlus is a new name in Android 6.0 for QuickMemo+)

Moto G4 Plus just launched! Development possibilities??

Hi there! Moto has just unveiled their Moto G4, G4 Plus and G4 Play. I'm really excited, and I don't want to wait for user reviews
So I guess I'll just trust Moto with their reputation, and order one today itself if I can :victory:
What do you guys think of the new model(s)? Do you think there will be much development going on? I'm prepared to wait for the fun to begin, but I just wanted your thoughts on the matter...
I know it is too early, and probably a dumb question but there are many variants (G4 Plus has 16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants)... Could that possibly hamper development scope? Also, I've mostly seen that such variants of mainstream models ('plus', 'play', etc) do not have as many options, as far as kernels and ROMs are concerned.

m also in same dilemaa..waiting for some recognized developers words on it @Vatsal is one of them.

:fingers-crossed: Ordered today, Arriving tomorrow.

It won't be hard to port all development work to the plus and play, you just need someone who knows what they're doing. I wouldn't be worried.

I wouldn't worry, as with the previous Moto G's, I expect this one to get some developers on board that know what they're doing. I'll try to help, but can't help with the first steps (twrp, root) as I'm way to inexperienced. (Been battling with the build environment for the Tab S2 for moths, would prefer to work on the code itself )
I'm still in doubt between the G4 and the plus, the latter being released here around the 9th. (the G4 is due 1st of june)
