Does the ROM made for single SIM variant works on the dual SIM model, I mean does the 1SIM work perfectly...atleast 1SIM should work properly!
For sure an upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy SII, Epic 4g Touch. Mostly the battery and the screen. The camera is honestly slightly worse, but I don't instagram my food so it's not a huge deal to me.

Yes, perfectly normal - as long as you're using it on the first sim slot. Doing it myself on mine.
Go for it dude. I got the XT1032 (single-SIM) for 16.5K a few weeks ago, because I was concerned a lot about dev. support. But, seems like you can go with the XT1033 as well as it seems to support most ROMs.
buy it, you wont be disapointed. just remember if you let it discharge completely and it wont turn on or recharge - keep the power button pressed until it turns on
Fantastic phone for the money. Feels like a Nexus, looks like one, performs like one. Great phone, **** 2G battery drain though lol.

Been loving this phone myself. The battery life is amazing on it, and it is pretty tough to kill it. Wish it was 32 instead of 16 gigs but no biggie.

I call it the Nexus 5 Mini, its THAT good (especially considering the price tag)

I have moto g and I got the optimus g pro(New at atf is 333 bucks) while the g is a great phone the pro has been in my hands and I haven't even thought bout my g.
It depends on budget and what you need in a phone. I really enjoying have lte again and the pro has more bang for buck for another 100+ but if you need a unlocked phone then the g is your best bet.

I'm looking for an unlocked phone that wont break the bank, had high hopes for the new 6589 phones from China but between the 2GB RAM bugs and the subpar graphical performance (wasn't expecting much from the A7 cores from the start) combined with in most cases >$230~$299 prices for some of the actually good quality units (like the UMI) make me think the N4 is still the best bang for your buck out there.
Which is kind of sad given its not that new anymore and has that pain in the ass storage handicap, but the S4 Nexus being as expensive as an iphone5 is IMHO just too much money for a phone that might at best last 2 years before its effectively obsolete.
Frankly I can't find any alternatives to the N4 at that price range, can you?
Lg optimus g. There's many variants. There at&t variant has external SD plus internal SD. The lgog n the n4 are internally the same device. The lgog just had more options

The phone can be unlocked. Any gsm phone can be unlocked. There's also a Sprint variant, 2 Canadian variants, and a Korean variant. Pick your poising n unlock it.

Take nexus 7 ..
I know it can be unlocked, but I'm stuck with contract anyway, or have to pay full price which is much higher than the N4.
stick to the N4, you can't do much better with your money, or take a look at chinese phones but obviously you won't get the same support (custom rom)
I could reccomend the HTC ONE it's almost the same price

I would not expect much from the camera since it's pretty average but at the price you would be amazed it has a camera at all. but nevertheless the phone is totally worth buying without a doubt.

The camera is pretty subpar. Other than that you will be satisfied, at least for the price point.
I ordered the 8gb one. my sister told she does not need 16gb.. it was up to her to decide.
Battery cannot be removed will that be an issue ?

Where is it? Can't find it. Does it exist? I'm interested in buying it but not sure yet. Another question, if I buy it locked from amazon can I use it without a plan aka phone service? I'm planning to use it strictly for wifi/gps. As a tablet. Anyone know?

from a quick search it looks like it does not have a forum on XDA, but androidforums has one. as for the 2nd question, you are able to use it without a phone service and still use the wifi/gps.
i would recomend getting a moto g instead if your not going to use it for service. its $100 less on amazon but the F7 beats its specs by a little. theres a bigger display on the F7, bigger battery, better CPU (Dual core 1.5ghz vs quad core 1.2ghz) better Camera and expandable storage (MicroSD) while the moto g punchs the F7 with a Higher ppi (pixels per inch) and a hugely better GPU and will be updated to higher versions of android and has a active community on XDA.

Thanks. But they cost the same (200 dollars) on Amazon. So being "locked" won't make it unusable? It HAS to have a external micro sd card slot. So the moto g is not a good choice to me. I love love everything about the moto g EXCEPT the fact that it doesn't have the external sd card. So it has to be between the optimus f7 or optimus g. Both 200 dollars on amazon. Here's the link

When it means "locked" it means its locked to the carrier, but since its boost mobile you can most likely use it on sprint. As for the price, the moto g is $99 on Verizon (amazon) and $129 on boost mobile (amazon)

But the thing is that I don't plan on connecting it. I plan to use it strictly as a wifi only device. So being unlocked or locked doesn't matter if I don't plan on connecting it with a phone plan? Sorry for asking. For example would it matter if I got the cheaper prepaid moto g or the more expensive unlocked version?

I totally know what you mean mate, you are able to use any android device just for WiFi without a data plan,( it might prompt you to activate it but you can just ignore it) if you bought one of them you will be able to use it just like your using your galaxy player 4.2. I was only telling you the carrier info just in case you want to use it in the future

Hi All
I used to have a Motorola RAZR i
I had to give it way and now I bought a Moto G 16gb
Just got it today. And I am liking it so far.
However I noticed that the Power Button and the Volume Rocket Buttons are loose and noisy when the shake the phone.
Is this just my device or is this normal on a Moto G?
If it just mine, do you think I should return it to Amazon, its not the biggest issue but when I buy something new it just feels like it show be perfect.
Thanks

Yes... you should return it...

So this is not normal for a moto g?
Duplicated thread/topic. It has already been widely discussed here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547293
Even though is quite surprising and actually seems like an issue it's more of a manufacture standards thing not an excuse/reason to return the device once you'll probably receive another one with the same "issue"
Ok, So I did some searching around after posting
XDA Noob move :/
It seems this is normal for the Moto G, there are reviews and my people posting on numerous forums that this is just the way the build quality is.
Thanks Doublepranks
200 dollar phone. Gonna see some signs of the price in the build. Still amazing for the price.

G3 is cool, but it won't have the same feel, definitely not as smooth as the m8.
Pros:
Better screen
Less bezel
Lighter
Better rear camera
Cons:
Worse battery life
Phone gets too hot faster
Stupid rear buttons
Worse front facing camera
Not as fast as sense
That's at least what I've been reading, I wouldn't switch. And who knows if it'll have an unlocked bootloader.
I agree!!
If the G3 were to get rooted and bootloader unlocked, I might consider it. Otherwise, no chance.

That "better" screen on the G3 is actually the cause of most of the cons you listed. It kills the battery and causes the phone to lag from the extra work it has to do to render it. The general consensus seems to be that the screen is actually the biggest fault in the phone, and a good 1080p screen could have made it perfect.

That was something I was aware of, power hungry screen = hot phone, less battery. Definitely not needed, but the resolution is a huge selling point for them. They wouldn't be able to get as many sales with the same quality screen as the S5 or M8. Samsung would wipe them clear off the map.

You do realize Samsung Android devices account for the majority of all Android devices? Which is unfortunate, because they suck, but saying "You suck if you got beat by Samsung" is pretty inane.
A buddy just got the T-Mobile LG3 and we ran some benchmarks. Granted, this phone is 100% stock and I'm running GPE (not OC'd) on the M8 but he scored 22100 in Quad and I scored 24500. He scored 32000 in Antu and I scored 34000.
The LG3 is just a little too big for my taste. I have never owned an LG phone but my M7 was my first HTC. Was all Samsung before that. I'm sticking with my M8 until the M9 comes out and has S-Off.

A lot of the phones you can buy from the pre-paid carriers are cheap...what's your point? Not everyone can shell out $300 for a brand new phone. My cousin just bought a S3 because that's all he could afford (free being what he could afford).

I'm pretty sure he was talking about how people bash Samsung for making "cheap low cost" phones when there's a market for them as not everyone has the resources to shell out hundreds of dollars on a phone.
I applaud Samsung for reaching out to all types of consumers.
