Hi, my 8gb moto g's screen cracked so I was looking for a moto g to take its display off and put it on mine, but instead I found a 16gb moto g with a broken charging port, and I wanna keep that instead, so my question is, is it possible to remove my 8gb moto g's charging port and put it on the 16gb one?
Because I took it for repair and they said that I need a new one which I feel is an unneccesary spend since I have my own to use.
Or course it's possible, if you have the soldering skills. The part can be found on eBay.
Yes you can.

Other's have already done it with different intentions.

If you type "Moto G teardown" on google, there is an article showing that some group from Germany did it. They were trying to see if it would be possible to upgrade the storage. They confirmed the storage cannot be upgraded, however, they found out that the battery can be replaced.
It'll probably be awhile until there will be battery replacements available. Motorola intended for the battery to not be replaced, so I can only see third parties producing batteries for sale. You know, the ones that claim 5000mah capacity.... lol
Also the moto g battery looked like it wasn't the simple redwire/blackwire/pin-type batteries from older phones or a battery you can just solder on. Its a ribbon with a special connector.
Helo,
My 1 day old Moto G fell on the ground. Result is that the screen isn't broken, but the right side off the screen doesn't respond anymore and the colors of the screen are also strange...

I found a tear down video off the Moto G here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd3AZSXhOf8
If I buy a new Moto G screen/digitizer like here: http://www.etradesupply.com/motorola-moto-g-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-black.html
Should this fix my problem?

Not sure if a new screen/digitizer will fix your problem but you may want to consider just selling your current phone on ebay and then using the auction funds to purchase a new Moto G since the device is relatively inexpensive. Cracked Moto Gs on ebay seem to be fetching at least $100 or more for the 16 GB version:

No one who already repaired his broken screen?
As was suggested i would put it on ebay and put the money it makes towards a new one.
If you try repairing it you might end up worse off.
Firstly while doing the strip down and repair you might break something else and secondly you might do it correctly and still find out it didn't fix the problem.
Hi all,
could somebody help me where can I get a replacement logic board for XT1032? I searched eBay and similar pages and all I found is some Verizon XT1028 and Boost Mobile XT1031 boards for various prices and mostly unknown origin. My model is the 8GB retail UK model but any other motherboards would fit me as long I can put a Hungarian SIM card in it, and the company/seller ships to Hungary.
Cheers!
No one replaced his logic board yet?
Actually i am not a fan of throwing away items if they are repairable.
But i guess that if you find a new logic board somewhere it will cost more than the half of a new Moto g.
Then you can also use the broken Moto G as a spare part for your new one.
You could really not find any Moto G with a broken screen?
Sry for not answering your question

Nope, the replacement screens are pretty cheap and it is easy to get one. On eBay the XT1028 boards are around 35-50 USD and the most expensive Boost Mobile board is around 70 USD, while here in Hungary even the used Moto G devices cost you around 220 USD and if you order from other countries the shipping cost cancels any price difference.
Worst case I get a Verizon board and use it as a development device and use it with wifi
Hi, this is the situation. I finally managed to brick my Moto G (XT 1063) and there is nothing I can do to get it back (need unavailable single image for bootloader 5.x), so I found a cheap solution to my problem. I decided to buy a damaged Moto G (broken LCD) and get a functional motherboard from it.
However my concern is it's comparability with my phone. I can not only buy XT 1068 (dual sim) since I am in Europe and wonder if it is going to be possible to put it together. I plan to use my housing and all the parts except for motherboard.
So, anyone with some input, possible or not, issues and so on...
Thanks!
Wouldn't it be easier to just replace the screen on the broken one?

In essence that's what I plan to do, my question is, will it fit? Thanks for a reply.
Hi. I have the opportunity to buy a new phone, and the 2 options are the Moto G 2015 for $2800 MXN and the Turbo for $3600 MXN. As you can see, I live in México.
The difference between both is the G has only 1gb RAM while the Turbo is 2gb RAM. Also, Turbo is an Octacore. And also seems to have Turbocharger. Both are 16gb ROM and the Turbo seems to be IP67 while the G is IPx7
What I am trying to realize right know before setting the order is, which one should I get considering I want to use Cyanogenmod on it? It seems there isn't much development for the Turbo. While Osprey is much embraced.
Which device has more compatibility? Which one has more information in general? I don't want to buy one device and then get cut off on a wall.
Also, I am a CE student here in MX and would like to start developing for android in the near future, just punctualizing this even though it is not needed.
Right now I have a Condor, Falcon and Ghost. Thinking of selling one or two after dealing with this dilema.
Thanks
Oh, ok. Thanks.
I canceled my Moto G Turbo order and bought the G3 for the better. Cheaper, more information everywhere and really good resell price. And also has already been shipped to my home.
