I see in various models the "M" of the back case in white mate color. Maybe it is a one of possibilities.

In Pakistan moto g parts are not available so i want to ask you that is there any difference in hardware of both above mentioned models or they are same from inside except cdma and gsm??
thanks in advance for your help

[Q] Moto G vs Moto G 4G LTE

I just looked in the Motorola website and it looks like the moto g 4g LTE is finally in stock and ready to ship out. With that being said I'm ready to purchase one but with one question comes to my mind.. Since both the moto g and moto g 4g LTE are identical besides the 4g LTE and sdcard support.. Does anybody know if the roms/rooting method will be the same? All the Roms out for the moto g will work on the moto g 4g LTE? Or is there a slight difference where that won't work?
I Donno about the rooting, but it's not really in Stock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772304&page=2

We don't know yet since no one has the hardware. But it is likely they will be separate ROMs as the radio will probably be different. And it is going to be using different drivers since the chipset for the radio is different.

Moto G LTE

Can anyone confirm that current Moto G 4G LTE sold here works in European countries?
The comparison chart of Moto G and Moto G 4G can be previewed here: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/4fa012ec47
By the chart the conclusion is that it can be used in EU, with the lack of LTE band coverage?
Their (Motorola's) agent isnt saying anything except that the chart is correct, however, they can only guarantee that it will work in US (since its US GSM version).
It would be great if anyone could confirm that he/she uses the device in EU and everything (with or without 4G/LTE) works.
Thank you.

looking to buy a d6616 unlocked for att

I found a few people that have unlocked a Tmobile z3, some say it works with att and others say it doesn't. I am looking to buy one and there is one locally that is a d6616. He suggests to unlock the sim for it to work on att. I read the manual and it says the d6616 can only use LET bands for 2, 4, and 12. so if I read this correctly, unlocking a sim, does only that - unlock the sim for other carriers, not unlock the sim to a d6603 where it has bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,13,17 and 20.
Am I correct or are all these D6603, d6633, d6643, d6653 and d6616 all have the same radio and when unlocked is available to all bands?
im skeptical because I have a LG VS980 (lg g2) and it does not have the main band 5 for ATT service so most of the time I get HSPA+ not LTE.
that is a good option,
I just got the D6616 for use on AT&T. Currently seeking a cost effective sim unlock code.

Does it work fine with at&t? You can unlock more bands, since all z3 use the same soc, snapdragon 801. That's not an easy task but can be done

I ended up selling it because I couldn't get it unlocked.

You could get it as cheap as 30 in cell unlocker or 35 in Xperiacodes, I've already unlocked many z1s and I'm using them with other carriers
Carriers that work on band 4

No, while they have the same silicon, the RF frontend circuitry is different.
Also, D6616, even if you manage to SIM-unlock it, will be bootloader-locked.
Get a D6603 instead - although since Sony closed down the Sony Store a few days ago, I don't know where you can get one with US warranty any more. Dumb of Sony to close down the ONLY place you could buy a Z3 without doing greymarket import shenanigans.
Is it necessary to unlock bootloader to unlock more bands?

Even if you unlock more bands with software hacks, the circuitry is wrong so you're going to have poor performance on those bands (just like the Nexus 4 LTE hack)
Fortunately my carrier uses band 4 and those 32gb are great, too bad the updates are slow

LTE Bands?

Hi
This phone have the late band 2 and 4 for America? Thanks
Enviado desde mi Mi MIX 2 mediante Tapatalk
I don't recommend global version in America because doesn't support any 4G Carrier Aggregation combinations there. I have listed Carrier Aggregation combinations here: https://cacombos.com/device?model=SM-A908B . Better buy device sold from US to get best performance.
