moto g lcd replacement - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I am from Pakistan and i have two moto g models, moto g xt1028 and motog xt1033. The lcd and in -call speaker and viberator of my xt1033 is not working. My question is that can i replace the above mentioned parts from moto g xt1028 to moto g xt1033?? 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

I asked moto support team many time about that but they could not give me answer every time... and actually i want to change the lcd with xt1031 not with 1028 (I checked the model number later) but there might be some compatibility issues as whenever i googled it, i found lcd of 1032, 1033 are compatible but i never find that xt1028, 1031 are compatible with xt1033.. thats why i want to be sure...please share your experiences friends

I don't know much about hardware but my friend who is an expert told me that the screen won't differ. You can try replacing the screen. Good luck

The vibrator is part of the motherboard IIRC. So unless you want to remove just that part, and are confident in your removal and replacement skills of parts on the board, I'd just get another phone.
The LCD is also a ***** to replace if not completely cracked (ie touchscreen issues).
Just remember the xt1028 is for verizon and I doubt works outside the us for any network.

[Q] Moto g on sprint

I'm looking to get my mom on a framily group on sprint but when I went to look at the phones available I didn't see the moto g. This would be the perfect phone for her because she wont be doing much on it. Anyone know if there is a moto g compatible with the sprint network. I guess my next question would be is there anything like the moto g(droid mini, razr i) that would work on the sprint network.

Are you sayingI can use the boost mobile moto g on sprint?

Moto g parts

I have a moto g unlocked that has a cracked screen. I was wondering if I could purchase a cheap boost mobile version of the moto g and switch out the screens. I don't see why that would not work, right?
Could I even just purchase a new boost mobile version of the moto g and just switch the motherboards?

Yes, that will work and its a very good option for getting cheap parts.I still need a new battery cover, coz my LED died and can't find such party lol.

Calling all DEVs Moto G CDMA (XT1028/31) variants CM12 issues

Hey guys & gals,
The CM Team started nightlies for the Moto G 1st gen (falcon) a while back and as before they were supposed to have multivariant support(to include XT1028/31). However this time the CDMA devices only have incoming calls and text and no data. We've posted in the official thread here to let the OP know of the issues and to let the maintainer for the falcon devices know. But there haven't been any official replies/announcements. So some of the code junkies who own the CDMA variants started a dedicated thread. You can find the thread here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3036120
The thread contains all logs, attempted fixes and theories to date. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Regards,
Chris

CDMA (Prepaid) is dead in the developing world. Just get gsm or gsm/cdma devices. I agree its absolutely ridiculous but its just how it is. I owned the boost moto g and ended up breaking it (hucked it across a room and onto the floor). but while i had it i told myself... look.. look at all these prepaid cdma devices. they are so cheap and plentiful but devs just dont like them.. i guess i will have to conform. Then i got a Moto G 2014 through consumer cellular.. It seems to be evened out in the non prepaid areas (cdma to gsm) but sprint prepaid mini companies just dont attract the attention that big guys like sprint, att, us cellular, and verizon do.
The short and simple. Buy a new phone (Unless you want to delve into development and work your brain out.. ALOT)

@CurbThePain Thanks for the post but...I'm already well into theming and development...I guess this news goes along with the coming Easter holiday because if CDMA development is dead then the Moto G just was resurrected, the CDMA data issue is solved for the Moto G CM12 as of this afternoon the code is being cleaned up as we speak. Not to mention the official soak test is well underway with an official 5.0.2 rom in the wild. I have a Nexus 5 and a Moto X 2nd Gen on T-Mobile, you shouldn't assume people just have one phone. ... I use my Boost phone for work so if I'm on a roof and it drops it won't cause a fit of rage or thoughts of suicide. Not to mention 45 bucks for 5GB of high-speed data on an MVNO subsidiary isn't bad. CDMA will be around till at least 2020 according to most articles released by the primary CDMA carriers.
Mods feel free to close this thread. Mission accomplished!

Wow...that's strange its one of the most developed for devices around. The 1st gen has official support for CM, AOSPA, PAC, Slim, Dirty Unicorns and almost all the major after market roms CDMA included. Has support for CWM standard and swipe, TWRP and Philz...I've actually enjoyed it.

xt1040 display

Hello all, i recently broke my display of xt1040, and i'm pretending to change it, but i have one question
Does the xt1040 shares the same display of xt1033?
i have the two models, but clearly the display of xt1040 is different.
if i purchase one for xt1033 it will work on 1040?

Weirdness, a (claimed) Verizon branded XT1540

I was looking at a local ad (listed only as a verizon motorolla phone) and asked the owner for some of entries in the "about phone". This is what I got;
“Model number moto g ( 3rd generation ) android 6.0”
“Build number mpi24.65-25.1”
“Sku xt1540”
“Version p2b”
“Ram size 2.00 gb”
“Serial number zy2237n329”
The pic shows verizon service (LTE) and it has a top speaker that could be 3rd gen, or it might be 2nd gen since I can't compare it to the bottom speaker (pic's bottom is cut off).
I'v emailed about the imei and maybe a swappa check can give me some additional info on the model number. Willmyphonework doesn't have any verizon compatible model listed and they seem pretty up to date to me.
The seller doesn't seem tech savvy at all, and does seem legit/trustworthy. Buuuuuuut, everything I'v seen contradicts the existence of a verizon version. Straight up scam? Did a few 3rd gens squeak out of verizon before just before the 4th gen release? Or ??
Any insight would be appreciated, as a trip to check it out is over a mountain range, and I'd rather not waste the time if it's an impossibility.
some extraneous info removed
Xt1540 is international, unlocked gsm, any sim will work, same device i have, get it, you'll love it

I think OP is concerned with the Verizon piece here... Verizon is a closed network CDMA carrier, their branded handsets are extremely locked down. From what we have seen there is no Verizon variant of the Moto G 2015 and it is incompatible with their network, bringing the sale post the OP is refering to into question of legitimacy. To my knowledge the only Verizon compatible Moto G models are the original Moto G (XT1028 variant) and the new Moto G4 series.
Also, the XT1540 is the North American variant, not "international"... there is no all encompassing "international" version, all Moto models are region specific. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_G_(3rd_generation)#Variants
