I didnt get any notification for 4.4.4 update in my moto g.
First of all, I dont know what Google Play Edition means.
Thanks in advance.
Google play edition is an exclusive edition which can be bought only from Google play store. It offers pure stock user experience. No non-google apps comes with it.
Hi
I just installed Google cardboard app ( on moto g xt1033 ) but navigation doesn't work when i tilt.
I don't brought any cardboard case i just want to check if it works or not. And does magnetic button works if i buy those cardboard kit by Google
Thank u
N
Happy New Year
Sent from my XT1033
To make the magnet works place it on the right.
We haven't gyro :'( .
Someone should create an app that uses the accelerometer instead of the gyroscope (i.e. Sky Map)
Hey guys. Could someone with a Moto G upload this application?
Wanting to do some testing with the Droid Turbo, but can't download it from the Play Store.

Many thanks.

I am thinking of getting Google VR Cardboard but don't know if it is compatible with Moto G3 since the device doesn't have gyroscope sensor.
So is there anyone out there who is using this VR Headset with Moto G3 ?
There are very few apps that use the compass and accelerometer instead of the gyroscope like this one: Space VR demo for Cardboard.
But most of the cardboard apps won't work with Moto G3
This may be slightly off topic, but it is something I noticed regarding Google's apps with photospheres and this phone's lack of a gyroscope. Opening a photosphere in Google Photos or Google Plus, you cannot navigate the sphere by moving your device. However, in Google Street View you can, and it works quite well. This tells me that there is enough sensor output that we SHOULD be allowed to attempt to make a photosphere with Google Camera, but it is disabled for this device. I wish they'd use whatever tech they use in Street View in their other apps that require motion tracking.

It would be more efficient if Motorola would calculate approximate rotation based on the raw data of the two accelerometers and the magnetometer in the Moto G3 and offer this via the standard gyroscope API of Android. This way all apps which rely on gyroscope could benefit from this.
Otherwise every app developer would have to implement both methods like Google Streetview apparently does. Unlikely that many developers are willing to do this.
Did anyone try this xposed module ? (i haven't since I did not root my phone yet):
VirtualSensor is an Xposed module that aims at creating a virtual gyroscope in Android. It does so by using values from both the accelerometer and the compass thus deducing the angular rate on the 3 axis.

Edit: Meh... seems it doesn't work... But the project is not dead (last commit on October 2nd)

Hi,
I have Google's camera app, the 2014 version. It works fine, but I'm wondering if there's a newer version (which will work on this phone) which will provide more options?
Thanks,
