Am I at the right place???

Wow!
Is this the moto g forum? I take it it is, but it looks so quiet!
I just got my moto g today 100 quid and I know the phone is very new on the market, but I thought it would have been a lot busier here. Not even the usual nice xda phone specs header on the main page?
Either I am very lucky in getting on of these phones quick or no one is buying them lol.

Today is the first day the Moto G is sold in germany officially, in other countries the same.
So enjoy being one of the first users

The Forum JUST opened which would be why it is so quiet. Also, it is just now being released in several countries. I am excited for when it finally hits the USA and I will probably pick one up!

Too bad the 16GB is not available yet. Btw: here in the Netherlands they ask 199 EUR for 8GB ...

Patience young one.
This device has only just been released, you got to wait till January when the US get it available. The flood gates will open then.

Phones4u.. they are the only ones that I could find in the UK that have the phone in the shops...
The other shops just said Moto what? idiots lol.
Anyway because my partner had an orange sim pay as you go it reduced the price to 99,95!!! and free white cover (phone is black) looks gorgeous with the white back and black front
I was shocked it was the last shop I was going to try as there seemed no chance anyone would have it :/ and bingo, they had it.
Good luck.

The dual sim 16 GB is around U$350 on the Motorola website, but you can find it for U$300 in other stores.

Where is the love for this phone

The one phablet that can go toe to toe with the Note 3, high end specs, great camera, great building quality and there is one ROM for it and as yet not an easy root method. Bugger all threads.
Why is no one loving this phone?

Rooting can be done via towelroot. No custom recoveries or roms though..

Agreed, i owned a Note 3, sold it for this and have not looked back. I like it more rooted to, xposed and text droider dpi are great root apps for this phone

I'm wondering the same. My phone will be delivered shortly. But it seems that this will be my first Android phone without CyanogenMod. I can't believe this.I have already asked Ricardo with a pm but no reaction yet. May be somebody knows him better and could ask him to make a recovery and start a CM project for our sweet device? The hardware does not much differ from the G2 isn't it?

The problem is that LG decided to implement a stupidly secure boot loader, without an unlockable boot loader, not much development can happen. Being the flashing addict I am, I'm gonna sell mine and but an Xperia Z Ultra

I guess the G3 has the same issue? So someone will find a solution soon I hope. Please @shellnut2

Becuase it isn't sold in the US which is where a lot of people in this site are from. I really wanted this device but got the g3 instead.

I don't understand that business decision. Why would you not sell in one of the biggest cell phone markets?

Not releasing it in America is mostly the problem, without American developers getting their hands on it, no development can really happen. Not a smart move by LG is my opinion.

I have got my hands on one now.. and hopefully not very soon , but soon will be releasing something...

I sold my 16gb D838 a month ago as I just couldn't resist the temptation of the G3. Yesterday, I put my G3 on ebay and have ordered a 32gb D838 :laugh: For anybody lusting after the G3, don't do it. The screen is beautiful (if you can find 4k content ) but, other than that, the G Pro 2 is a far better device IMO. The G3 is a lagfest with frequent launcher redraws due to bad ram management, (at least it was on my 2g ram version) it appears to have been rushed out with no software optimisation. The 801 chip cannot handle the resolution.
Anyway, can't wait for my new baby to arrive, I consider it to be the best device I have ever had and that is many.

OK Here we go
check out the Android dev section I am uploading a first custom ROM for our D838 Model
enjoyy

Welcome back!!! :good: I love this smartphone but the only thing I regret there are updates. LG has forgotten this phone, is stopped alla 10f for several months without correcting the bug. I hope LG has not forgotten this beautiful smartphone..the best!

That is so true. I couldn't resist to try the G3 too. But I really regret this choice. the D838 is so smooth and fast in everything. Even the camera is very fast and makes really nice pictures. The camera of the G3 is for my idea not any better and the phone itself is lagging everywhere. I have the 32GB version and the extra RAM doesn't make a difference. Like you said the CPU or the GPU isn't enough to make this device to what it had should been. I'm now on vacation but when I'm back home I will immediately sell the G3 and keep my Pro 2.

I found it really hard to admit it to myself after the investment. I so wanted to love the device The G3 forum is full of people in denial.

I really can't see why people don't like this phone...it's amazing...

I've had my LG G Pro 2 32GB for a couple of months now, it's the best phone I've had since my Sony Xperia Z Ultra 16GB. But now it's time to move on to another device so put it up for sale on Ebay at a bargain price. It's a shame LG messed up the D83810F update, looking forward to G Pro 3 if LG bother with it. I will say that I won't be rushing out to by the G3.

I hope a custom recovery will release for this phone soon, after that many Rom will appear!

cannot agree more , I am on the same camp got G3 , sold and took the G pro 2 hahha

G Flex 2 vs. Nexus 6

OK, if you had the opportunity to acquire ONE of these with an unlimited plan, which would you take?
Remember.. OBJECTIVE OPINIONS...thanks!

Flex:
- Design: Personally prefer the feel of the curve, makes one hand usage better (also helpful with drops)
- Perf: 810+LDDR4 is impressive, apps launch pretty quickly like the T-K1.
- Battery: While not as good as my Moto E or G2 it's sometimes 2x of how my Zenfone 2 performed. I posted a few screen shots, was getting about 5hrs+ SOT with LTE/HSPA (haven't really bothered with WiFi)
- Expansion: SD cards are a must, I use them frequently
- Cam: Don't care about this but the sensor is the same as G3's
N6:
- Screen: Larger, hard to argue against this.
- Development: Pretty envious of this aspect. I'm rather curious about the 6P though.
- T-Mobile WiFi calling + VoLTE (with T-Mobile ROM I think)
- Fast updates: Again, something that can't be argued. I also prefer vanilla because bloat is meh.
If I had a time machine I would honestly wait for the 6P or the 6 to drop to $200-250 range.

can only say from my preference, but i love the 810 chip on the flex 2.. it's very good now with manufacturer default on 5.1.1, and even better with a tweak here and there via root
nexus 6 has more development though here on xda, flex 2 is still pretty locked up comparatively

I'd probably choose the Nexus 6. The Flex 2 is a killer device and wicked fast. My only complaint is the display is too bright at night and you can't see it very well outside on sunny days unless you find shadow. Even if the Nexus 6 had the same issues, I'd still choose it of the Flex 2 to have a Project Fi compatible phone.

If money isn't an issue, the nexus 6 may be the better choice. In my country i can find a flex 2 for half the price of the Nexus 6. So, my choice was clear.

For me, it wasn't so much a money issue as a storage issue. No microSD is not an option for my main device.

no belgium, but last time i checked thats part of europe aswell... amazon.de delivers to switserland doesn't it? (cause it sure does to belgium, even amazon.es delivers to belgium)

Also, keep in mind that flex 2 is a one handed device and the nexus 6 is a two handed device

What about Flex2 being futureproof? This device probably gonna receive android M, and few fixes, but due to LBL its gonna be stuck with whatever LG makes. No custom ROMs, no custom kernels. I'm currently thinking about purchasing this device, but idea about LBL keeps me away.

I live in Switzerland. In my country I could buy a flex 2 for about 250$. A Nexus 6 would cost me here 480$. Therefore my choice was the Flex 2.
In the last days the prices in Europe droped generally. Here a good offer: http://www.ebay.de/itm/LG-G-Flex-2-H955-Platinum-Silver-/351557561976?clk_rvr_id=918905263557&rmvSB=true. It must be the European model H955 with 2GB ram and 16GB storage. But at least it's a free model and you get the updates quickly.

That's ATT's H950 for US...the Sprint model might have those too, haven't looked into that one much. Internationally the Flex is 2/16GB, or perhaps it's just the Korean variant. In the US the H950 has been $250 frequently.

Mine came with 5.1.1 out of the box, and did only 1 update (latest 5.1.1) and it doesn't overheat to much, first antutu run gave me 57k run it for 40 min and the score never went bellow 50k... btw the nexus 6 is 450 euro in my country

From what I know the 32/3GB version never came to Europe.

when i've seen the description of the smartphone i felt so upset because.... NO 64 GB version for us.... only 32 GB (not mentioned the 64 GB version at all).

Nah, it says 4GB RAM on the website, and im 99.9% the 32GB is a typo, maybe its the same 64GB after all

I'm hoping it's a typo as well, but I'm starting to doubt that. I've also seen it posted on the emirates website:
http://www.lg.com/ae/mobile-phones/lg-H960-new-premium-look-smartphone/technical-specifications

Any news of the exact date of launch of the V10 in europe? Will it launch in all countries?

It's listed in LG Turkey webpage as the model LGH960TR ; having 64GB + 4GB so no surprises here.
Though the launch price is currently over Note 5; meaning most people won't buy it over Note5 because it's a much more popular and well known product.

Ugh, I hate when they make those changes. I doubt the storage cost them that much.

any ideas on when exactly this phone will be available in these countries?

Pretty much fed up with Samsung not bringing the birenote 5 to Europe and now again LG seem to be following same trend. Can't work out why

Wondering if it will be possible to unlock that phone. If yes, I will definitively purchase it.

It's 32 gb version and so far it seems like there is no way to unlock the phone.

any root available for h960a yet guys ?
i got the phone :/ can't go on like this..

Nice to see more H960 users. Hope to see developers. I miss root and twrp options so bad. Such a good device but no developers

Some one did mention about having a 32GB version of the V10 in another forum, I though that only 64GB version was the only one available, 64GB against 32GB does make a difference, to LG it's only a few cents differences in cost, not sure why they made this decision.

Nope, there is only 32GB version, they will never sell in CZ 64GB version officially.
It is really a pity, but I guess it is due to the costs. Even with this config, it is beating all top models.

here we are
i've got my H960a since a week, italian version, 32gb with 4gb ram.
The official answer from LG about the 32gb is that's a matter of overall cost... the official price in italy is crazy (749€) with a 64gb version it would have been higher.
I've added easily a 64gb extra with a class10 micro sd.
I confirm that no root is available so far... the bootloader seems to be locked

Do you have carrier version? Or bought without contract?

LG G Flex 2 Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Hey guys, i looked up on the net for this but on news articles it says it will get the upgrade but on some forums people say they contacted LG and they say it won't get the upgrade. Do you know what will happen for certain? Please let me know.

I think its just matter of time when will they confirm it officially, LG PL said they cant give exact info,but LG Romania said they will roll update in H1 2016,so we got to wait. Also on LG Smartworld there appeared option for Android 6.0,so its close.

Well I hope they confirm it soon because I will choose to buy G Flex 2 over G3 if it supports Marshmallow. What do you think, which one would last me longer? I won't be buying a new phone for at least 2 years, so i want good specs on my phone.

Well,hard to say which one will have better support. Overall,G3 has better support from community,but i cant say anything about LG support itself. The G2 is unexpected to receive Android 6 for example and it went through 4.2.2 and ended on Android 5.1,and i think its good support,while G Flex 1 started on Android 4.4 just receiver 5.0 with no word about 5.1,not even 6.0,and thats what im afraid of with G Flex 2. But A 6.0 is almost confirmed,so its maybe better now with Flex series

u should buy a Nexus or a high end smartphone with unlocked bootloader
so you should get the newest version of Android from Google or CM
if you search a smartphone from a OEM u should pick HTC (90 days update delay to Google) or Moto
other OEMs have a bigger delay with new updates.

I was thinking about buying a moto x pure or nexus 5x but they dont sell it here in Turkey. And i don't have that much money to buy one of the lastest flagships. So with a budget about 400$ at most (here in Turkey latest phones are at about 600$ right now) i have options like lg g3, g flex 2, htc m8 and sony xperia m5 (won't buy a samsung phone anytime soon) and the first two are the best among these in my opinion. So what would you recommend from these ones?

Truth is , nobody can answer this question , we can only hope it will. But I don't mind 6.0 really , ux 4.0 is what I am after
