Can't decide between Moto 3G vs. LTE - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to decide between the Moto G 3G and the LTE Edition. My main problem being that 8GB internal storage seems awfully low especially considering that you have around 5GB free.
Yes there is a sd card slot but mainly effective for media files. You won't be able to move a lot of apps to SD card. And since these days every other app hogs about >500MB data, I'm afraid that 5GB are gone in no time (I. E. All Google Apps can't be moved).
I'd like LTE speeds but not if this means that my internal storage would run low all the time and slow down the system. Can anybody let me know how many of those apps really support apps2sd nowadays?
It might be better to opt for 16GB 3G version, at least I have a larger amount of internal storage to use then...what do you think, is the 8GB plus external storage a problem?

I would recommend the Moto G 4G LTE with 8GB, you can add a huge micro sd card to it, if your root it you will be able to move apps from the 8gb memory to the sd card, an if you're concerend about ROMs or development for the Moto G, I suggest you STAY on the official firmware, Motorola knows what they are doing, the official firmware is the best, only if you want to customize it with themes or so...

Hmm actually I don't want to root because this always means hassle for each update (losing root with an update in example). But in order to move the apps to SD this might be the best solution. So I would stay with the stock ROM but with root...and according to motorola even bigger than 32GB cards do work. Is there any link to an Amazon 64GB card that works for the Moto G?

It seems you already know the answer...
Why you need such amount of space?
Don't wanna move apps, no root,... 16gb is more than enough imo.
Are you using 4G?

You don't need to root to transfer apps to the sd card in the moto G LTE variant

memory card and connection problems

Hi,
I recently got a new HTC Vox however i am experiencing two particular problems.
1. My Vox does not seem to be recognizing any memory card i have tried. I have till now tried a Hama 4GB micro SDHC and a Sandisk 2GB micro SD card but to no avail.Do you know what the problem may be?
2. The second point is less urgent. When i switch on the phone i get a message informing me that my operator is not found in the database and that i should contact my operator. I am then directed to the connections screen.
If anyone could help m i would be very grateful
Thanks
1.That's strange not for the 4GB SDHC but more for the 2 GB SD. I'm using a 1GB sandisk premiere (or whatever it's called) and it is ok. I also tryaed a common SAndisk 2 GB (the cheapest one) and it worked.
2. DOn't worry about that it only means that your operator (GPRS/MMS settings could not be configured automatically because your operator's settings are not in the database of the phone. Only big carriers are pre configured in that database. If you want GPRS/MMS you should just do what you were used to do before...configure them manually
i see. thanks for that.
I'm beginning to worry that the phone itself is faulty!
if you don't mind me asking, what format did you use for the 2GB?
thanks
I Had the same problem , after my phone was in service for replacing the speakerphone, it did not recognise any memory card. I sent it back , and they replaced the motherboard.
if you don't mind me asking, what format did you use for the 2GB?
thanks

no problem. FAT32
I have used a 4GB and a 8GB microSDHC card in my Vox without any problem.
If its not working in your phone then definitely its a problem with your device.
I suggest you try any other card(to rule out the remote possibility that your card is faulty), and if that does not help, you should take your device to the service centre.

16GB wifi model - GPS and 64 gb micro sd support?

hey,
Does the WIFI model have GPS?? On the samsung site it does list GPS, however I know with some tablets this is only with the 3G models.
Also, on the samsung site it states the tablet only supports upto 32GB microSD cards however on the forum i have noticed people are suing 64 GB microSd cards??
Thanks
Yes wifi model has gps. Works solid too. However if you plan to use it for navigation you will need a 3rd party app that allows for offline navigation. With a minor exception Google maps does not allow this, you can only precache like a 10 mile area around your destination.
Also I believe there was an update to allow 64GB cards to be used.
Thanks for the quick reply...now to buy it ....

You mean you are swapping out 2 64g micro sd cards right?

I have a class 10 32gb Patriot microSDHC in there and I have absolutely no issues with it. Class 6 should be fine too!
I have a 64 GB Sandisk MicroSDXC card and haven't had any issue. I supposed it's the way it's formatted?
I have a class 10 64 gb Sandisk SDXC and am using it with no issues. $60 at Microcenter.
Got my class 10 64gb card during the holidays for $40 from amazon. Pretty good prices today also. No issues at all. Ever.
Around $45 today.
One of the lucky few with good 64 gb sd cards or are people just panicking online?
I have not had any issues with my SanDisk class 10 64GB card in my RHD, just had to format the card. I bought this card from amazon in Oct for $44.

I bought a scan disk of Amazon and got it a week ago, I put it in my phone and formatted it. It seems to work fine, I also transfered about 20gigs worth of stuff from my computer to the new card. So far so good.

From what I understand the problem was with 32gig class 10 Micro SD cards on windows 7 and a few specific android devices and did not blanket a large selection.
I only have a 8 gig class 4 in mine for the moment, but I doubt you'll have problems with a 64gig class 10.
So, maybe I'm the only one with issues? My SD card will work fine for days at the moment. However, when I start downloading multiple torrents at a time on my phone, my phone would no longer see my SD card after awhile.
Previous setup: 64GB microSD formatted as FAT32. After awhile, my card would stop working properly and I'd have tons of corrupt files. Even files I had not touched.
Current setup: 64GB microSD formatted as NTFS (mounted using Paragon NTFS & HFS+). Card would still crap out if I downloaded multiple torrents. Seems more stable when I have one active torrent at a time. But now, when my card craps out, my files are still good and my filesystem is intact.
I have been using my 64gb microsd for months now no problems...
if this problem only happens when you download with that program you may want to check on a different program to download your torrents, is that app may have issues with that size SD card and continuous writing.
I had a 32Gb sd and some day i unplug the RHD from my laptop and puff Sd card broke, and now w7 did not recogniz it, I'll try with linux this night

64GB cards are working just fine in the xt925, and you don't need root to use them.

Really? I used to have it formatted as exFAT at first, now I use it as Fat32 but it worked just as fine either way.
I wish the 64s were cheaper. I'm going to find one this black Friday. Then bittorrent like a mofo. Jk.

microSD 64GB 4G Moto (XT1039) no more recognized !

Hello,
Sorry for my poor english below.
I have a Moto 4G (XT1039) with Android 5.1 (patch level 2016-04-01).
I used it with no particular problem for several months with a MicroSD 64GB Samsung Evo. In recent days, the MicroSD is no longer visible on my phone (menus on the SD card in gray and space for this card in "Settings / Storage" has disapeared). Several reboots the phone after removing and re-inserting the card have brought nothing and "Wipe Cache Partition" brought nothing to the problem.
Can you tell me how to explore the problem a little more? FYI, I have a 2nd Moto 4G with the same version of Android and the same SD card that works well. I can maybe share SD cards to identify whether the problem comes from the card or phone but I am afraid to corrupt my 2nd phone or my second SD card.
What do you suggest me?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Gigi
Hi,
No matter if you don't want to corrupt your other card, you have to do some tests.
So, you can test your possibly wrong card in your other phone or with a computer and, depending of results, testing your good card in the possibly defective phone, that's all...

Volte, adoptable storage and Rom issues

I recently got my Poco X3 and I must say this far I am disappointed. I have been flashing roms for years and recently gave up my LG V30 to buy this phone.
My issue is I for one cannot get Volte to work it worked with Metro by t-mobile on my V30 ....Everytime I turn it on the call starts and immediately ends I am using sim 2 because it is the only choice if I want to use an SD card. Is there a way to fix this? I have looked everywhere. The other thing is I have the 64gb storage and a 128gb high class SD CARD I have changed the storage to internal adoptive using Google files it either will say it is working and doesn't or does work but the breaks half the apps in the play store due to no second storage. That is another issue I use to be able to move apps storage from internal to sd but the option is not there at all for any app there is only one internal storage I think there was 2 anyway I really want HD Volte and more storage for apps I have rooted with Magisk flashed Roms which by the way most of them had major issues making me go back to stock either the touch screen would freeze or wifi wouldn't work or always something big.
Please someone I need this to work
I have exactly the same issues with volte. I can't get it to work. Even though my Poco F1 is working absolutely fine with the same Sim card and as card combo. I hope it gets fixed soon.
