Has anybody else noticed that the N5 seems to have worse reception especially compared with the Nexus 4?
It seems like on average, the N4 outperforms the N5 by ~5-8 dBm (I'm testing on T-Mobile). Unfortunately for me, in some areas, that's enough to drop me to HSPA coverage.
Hey Guys,
I consider upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to the Moto G.
Specs are pretty similar, even in some parameters the Galaxy Nexus is better (AMOLED vs LCD, thickness, camera)
What do you think? Anyone here done this move?
Thanks
Tom Zach.
I think its a better move overall. Motorola is doing some great stuffs lately. They even beats Google in terms of pushing the updates quickly. Galaxy Nexus's software support was dropped by Google but it still have the community support. I saw many people even moved from Nexus 4 to Moto G.
But from hardware perspective Moto G is bit behind them. Many touchscreen issues are popping up and returned for replacement. G's touchscreen is easy to get broken than any flagship or Nexus phones even though it has Gorilla Glass 3. You got to think twice in the hardware department.
Yeah I upgraded, not looked back.

Hey, thanks for the detailed reply!
Wooh, didn't hear about those touch / touchscreen issues, it's little disturbing actually

Hey, but besides the battery life and the speaker, do you really feel like its an improvement?
Seems like the gnex screen and the overall look is superior

To me it feels it was , I got to the point where I despised my gnex.
I've not heard or even experienced these screen issues can't comment on it.
If the moto g had a better camera it'd be even better.
All depends want you want out of your phone really. Battery life and affordability was key key for me.
Not once have I wanted my gnez back tbh

Very impressive, thank you.
Had any thoughts getting the Nexus 5 before choosing the Moto G?

That was my dilemma before making my purchase. But the Nexus 5 is notorious for sub par battery life, poor screen viewing angles and contrast. Moto G doesn't have any of those issues and for the price it was a no brainer for me.

I had the same decision problem. It was between the Nexus 5 and the MotoG. It came down to a few factors for me: 1)The spec bump and screen size were not drastic enough for me to justify the price difference. 2)The screen size on the Nexus 5 was a drawback. I have small hands, and my assumption was that the smaller screen size combined with the rounded form factor would make the MotoG easier to hold and manipulate. 3)The poor battery life on the Nexus 5 compared to thte superior life on the MotoG.
All of those things led me to choose the MotoG over the Nexus 5, and I've been 100% pleased. I have had absolutely no issues with the touchscreen which is always accurate and responsible. The software (KK w/GEL) is buttery smooth -- I have experienced absolutely no lag from the OS in any shape, form, or fashion. Regardless of the specs, it actually operates like a high end device. Having said that, more graphic/cpu intensive games will lag to some degree but I'm not a big Android gamer -- casual games are fine by me.
The screen on the MotoG is perfectly calibrated. I've heard some G's have a pinkish tint, but I have not experienced that. My guess is that they use two different screen vendors, so it may be a roll of the device; however, even the pink tinted screens are still supposedly excellent.
Battery life has been phenomenal.
Unlocking the bootloader and rooting was a piece of cake.
The only big complaint is the camera, but I carry around my Sony NEX-5R most places I go so that's not a huge deal for me.
Overall, this is one of the best phones I've ever owned. The "flagship" phones I've had in the past were always something of a disappointment. I never liked Sense, TouchWiz, etc. which adversely affected performance to the point that it never really felt like I actually had a high-end device. That always led me to root and flash a custom ROM, but I shouldn't have had to do that in order to get a nice user experience.
The MotoG is fantastic. I give it an A+ when you consider its price in relation to its features and usability.
I ended up upgrading to the nexus 5 from a galaxy nexus, but I simultaneously got a moto g for my girlfriend, so I've had a great way of comparing the 2.
The nexus 5 is obviously the better device(no doubt about it), and the battery problems are non existent(at least on my unit, I get very consistent battery life in terms of screen on time at around 4,5 hours). It's definitely one of the best devices on the market and at a fair price much below the immediate competition.
The moto g is obviously a mid range device in comparison, but it is a lot more capable than most other phones on the market and is all around a great phone(definitely worth the cheap upgrade from a galaxy nexus). In direct comparison with the nexus 5 it has a slightly worse camera(the nexus 5 camera is not top notch either though) and slightly better battery life in my experience.
Software vise they are very similar, and since a gpe moto g has been released, they can both expect timely updates.
All in all they are both worth the upgrade from the galaxy nexus(though I had kept it for another year, if I hadn't dropped it and cracked the screen). It comes down to how you use the phone(camera and gaming performance etc.), and your preference in screen size, and price. you get great value for the money with both compared to any other smartphone, though a little more value for money with the moto g.
I've got both, on Verizon though. My typical phone is a Galaxy S4, but my gf broke her GS4, so she stole mine in the meantime. My old backup phone was a Galaxy Nexus, and my current phone is the Moto G. All that said, here's my take.
Moto G Pros:
- Cheap
- Better battery life than Galaxy Nexus
- More responsive
- Feels better in hand & pocket
- Feels sturdier
- Moderately better camera
Moto G Cons:
- Locked bootloader on Verizon (no root or roms)
- No LTE
- Only comes with 8GB storage, with 5.5 usable
- No 802.11 5GHz support
- No BT 4.0 LE (has BT 4.0)
- No KitKat
- No tethering support (I pay for metered data too!, currently using FoxFi USB)
If I didn't depend on my phone for work, I would've bought a good condition Galaxy Nexus or GS3 from Swappa. But the Moto G is acceptable for the next week.
I had the Galaxy Nexus before my Moto G, its definitely worth the upgrade for the battery alone, even with extended battery the Nex was terrible with battery life, similar specs but the moto G runs much better, my Nex was lag-tastic, I see no difference in pics, both are mediocre in that department.

Ae you just talking aobut the Verizon version, the G does have Kitkat and there's a 16 gig version, I dont agree with the Nexus having better battery at all, it was actually terrible, the G's battery is so much better, not even close.

Please reread my post. Yes I'm talking about the Verizon variant, XT1028. Yes I know the GSM has a 16gb option, even a GPE. I wish I that was a viable choice, but I have a tendency of working in the barren deserts of California. Somehow Verizon's EVDO/LTE coverage out there is sufficently reliable.
Also, I said the "Better battery life than Galaxy Nexus", as a "Moto G Pro" and not a Con.
I really like the Moto G. It's just very limited. I would say its very similar to the experience of using an iPhone 4. Fixed & limited storage, snappy for the OS at the time, nice to hold and use. But there are better options out there.
I upgraded from a Nexus 4 and I'm very happy: battery life is awesome and the phone is still smooth, Moto G display is way better than the Galaxy Nexus one (I owned a Galaxy Nexus)
Hi guys,
I am using Galaxy Nexus with CM11 M11 at the moment. Is it worthy to upgrade to Moto G 2014? How much faster do you guys feel when upgrading from GaNex to Moto G 2014 in term of a normal user: Maps, GPS, Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, photo taking - NO gaming.
Is 1GB of RAM giving you lagging when switching between apps? Is Nexus 5 more worthy for the upgrade rather than Moto G 2014?

Go for a nexus 5 if you can get it cheap. The moto g is all fine but its camera...not so. If you plan on keeping your phone for a bit longer, go for the nexus 5

Hey, both of you guys are complaining about the camera of this Moto G. Is that the Moto G 2014 you're talking about? I see the photos taken by Moto G 2014 look pretty nice - some even says it's even comparable with Nexus 5 camera.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/post-picture-moto-g-2nd-gen-2014-t2879591
The Nexus 5 is about USD350 vs. Moto G 2014 is abt USD218 at where I am atm.

definitely talking about the 2013 Moto G. Can't say much about the 2014 because I don't own one. Again I stand with what I said earlier, in the long run the Nexus 5 will serve you better

Thanks for the confirmation. Btw, do you feel a lot of lag with your Moto G (the hardware is identical with Moto G 2014)? Like when browsing Internet then switching to either Maps, FB, Instagram or Camera, etc.
There don't seem to be many people making this switch, so I figured I would post my experiences to help anyone who is considering the G2. These are my initial impressions on my second day of ownership. I will update with more insight as I continue my journey.
My History with the Sensation: I've had the Sensation 4G (T-Mobile US) since February 2012. At the time, it was a good phone and among the first crop of US smartphones to get legit ICS. I've used all different ROMs and kernels in my stint with the Senny. Everything from 4.0 to 4.3, Sense, De-Sensed, AOKP, CM, PA, etc.
Why I picked the G2: Any phone I purchase, I expect to keep for 2 years. This means that it must have top-tier specs to remain relevant for so long. The G2 is one of the few phones available in the US with a Snapdragon 800. It has a very small bezel and has all the features you'd expect in a flagship device: 1080p screen and video recording, 2GB RAM, NFC, IR, etc. I chose it over the HTC One and Galaxy S4 specifically because it has a better SoC, better battery, and is just barely bigger (such a small difference you would hardly notice it). Also, despite having a MUCH bigger battery than the HTC One, it manages to be thinner.
First Impressions of the G2: The first thing you will notice going from Senny to G2 is the screen. It is almost a full inch bigger (4.3 vs 5.2), the resolution is full HD, and the pixel density is incredible-surpassing even the iPhone's "Retina Display". Colors are brighter and richer. The screen is just absolutely gorgeous.
The second thing that strikes you is that despite the screen being so much bigger, the phone itself isn't too much of a behemoth compared to the Senny. It is only 1/2 inch (12mm) taller and 1/4 inch (6mm) wider. It's also slightly (2mm) thinner than the Senny, and weighs 5g less. It will certainly take some getting used to, but I expect to be a pro in no time flat.
*Snapdragon 800: Owning the Sensation, you become accustomed to waiting. Opening even simple apps, pulling up the soft keyboard, and switching between apps all involve some delay. This is not true on the G2. It's 2.26 GHz CPU packs four cores and moves through day-to-day tasks without a hiccup. I'm not saying there's never any lag, but it is much more rare and much less painful. With the Sensation, lag was expected and smoothness was the exception. The G2 is the complete opposite: lag is very rare, and doesn't slow you down much at all.
*LTE: This is going to be pretty specific to T-Mobile US. I have been dying to get an LTE phone since T-Mobile launched it. HSPA+ is pretty good, I'll admit, but who doesn't want faster and better? I can confirm that LTE is indeed faster than the HSPA+ I experienced on the Senny. Of course, you have to account for the fact that the Sensation only supports 21Mb, while 42Mb is possible on HSPA+.
Coincidentally I got 39.99Mb on the SpeedTest app, which makes me think that it is throttled. It seems rather unlikely to get almost exactly a round 40 randomly. The LG G2 is capable of T-Mobile's new Wideband LTE which promises up to 150Mb, and I do live in a Wideband market. I'm not sure if my account is throttled due to being prepaid, or maybe the specific area I tested isn't upgraded to Wideband yet. I will certainly update once I have more experience with this phone.
In real-world use (e.g. downloading from the Play Store), LTE actually doesn't seem any faster than the Senny: I get about 20 Mb (2.5 MB/s). Still, latency (AKA lag) on LTE is significantly lower than on HSPA+, and the connection seems less likely to stall.
On a side note, each speed test takes up 70MB! of data. I would suggest anyone who is on a limited plan to use them sparingly. Thank goodness my plan gives me 5 gigs.
*Battery: This is another major reason I picked the G2 over the One and S4. It packs a 3,000 mAh non-removable battery. This is the first phone I've ever owned without a swappable battery, and that's because it's one of the few that meets my standard for such a device: If the battery is spectacular, I don't need it to be removable. You can read the praises of the G2's battery life from one end of the web to the other. I'll just share my experience thus far, which is admittedly limited.
Day one: Took off charger at 4pm (initial charge). Plugged in at midnight. 8 hours total on battery, 6 hours on LTE and 2 on Wi-Fi. One firmware update downloaded and installed. All apps updated to latest version on LTE. 3 hours screen on time. Battery left at midnight: 60%!
Day two (today): A little over 10 hours on battery. 4 on Wi-Fi, 6 on LTE. Pretty typical usage. Some texting, light web browsing, checking Facebook, Words With Friends, etc. Screen on time 1 hour 21 minutes. Battery left: 83%!
By this point, even with my standard battery saving measures on the Senny (Wi-Fi sleep activated, mobile data disabled except when manually activated) I would easily be down to 65%. The G2, with Wi-Fi sleep disabled and mobile data always on I am doing much better. 6+ hours of screen time is attainable on the G2 without any special measures! Getting much more than 4 on the Senny is practically impossible no matter what you do. I have seen users on the G2 forum who can get 9+ 8+ hours of screen on if they take typical steps like lowering brightness and managing mobile data.
In conclusion, you will be in complete awe if you move from the Sensation to the G2.
Welcome to the club! Enjoy your stay

Probably this thread should go in LG g2's general section or somewhere,we are more than happy with our Denny with some excellent development recently,
Lags and smoothness is an exception in our phone ?
Ha ha flash cm11 and change the runtime to ART and see the magic.
Probably LG g2 will be like that as it was released almost after many years after sensation got released,
No need these much explanation
Also it has quad core with 2gb ram,
Ours is just dual and 768mb ram but performs exceptionally well,
So comparison with g2 is a crime here
However I know g2 is a beast as I own one,
But this comparison thread does not justify anything and does not belong here !!
Good post
I also switched to lg from the sensation, but the phone was 4x HD. I didn't like the phone very much, and I quickly switched to optimus g. Now I amsasatisfied still have the "senny" to play around with

WHAAAA? Battery is that good??? On my senny, i usually get 10-12 hours and 2.5-3 hrs on-screen with an anker...but those stats on the G2 are seriously mindblowing
Well I may have misremembered the 9 hours slightly. The best I could find was 8:45 on Reddit here. I still haven't seen mine go below 60% no matter what I do. It's truly liberating not having to worry about power management at all.

The g2's battery life is THAT good! Get one you'll be very happy you did...its superior to the sensation in every way even better than the Nexus 5, One, S4, Note 3 etc
hi. i was considering to buy that phone but i'm still uncertain about dimension. is it really so bigger than our Senny ?
Yes, it is preety big...but you have 5,2inch
You must check by yourself if this dimension will be good for You
Thank you for your review. I also consider switching to LG G2. I am considering AT&T or T-Mobile version. I am on T-mobile and T-mobile would be best for HSPA+ support (AWS1700) that is lacking on AT&T version.
It would be nice to have a good camera and great battery life. My sensation get me through the day with wifi always turned on. I use knock off HTC battery that someone measured to have capacity similar to Anker. The first replacement battery I bought was bad, no more than half a day if I touch it.
I have joined the forces. I've added LG G2 to my phone collection.
Hi thinking of getting a z5 or edge plus, the signal strength on the z2/z3 was very poor compared to my old nexus 6 on 3 UK. Whats your opinions? Signal is the main factor for me.
Sent from my E5563 using Tapatalk
I had a OnePlus One and a Note 3 before. So far, my Z5 signal quality is a lot better (green and yellow most of the time). With my OnePlus One and Note 3, same usage pattern, it would be red and yellow almost all the time. Nothing scientific here I know, but yeah according to the Battery menu, the Z5 is better than both of these phones I've used
It might be worth noting that manufactures independently determine how many bars are shown in the notification tray. For example, Samsung might display 3 bars at -116 db while HTC only shows 2. If you really want to compare this, you need to have all the phones you want to compare activated on the same carrier at the same time and use the discovery app to see what the raw signal strength (in db) readings are.
We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Xiaomi Mi 6's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.
No one?
As I'm using MI6 since June. It has very good coverage always 4G but never saw 4G+ that's the strange thing. Other than that sometimes I have H+ where my Galaxy s8+ had 4G with 3/4 bars (I have both phones).
I got fulltime 4G+ maximum troughput on my Mi6, personally it has a better signal and troughput performance then my oneplus 3T.
hi i just switched from oneplus 3T to xiaomi mi6, and my reception is slighlty less good actually, but its noticable in tunnels and stairwells, my OP3T would keep good reception but the mi6 drops signal sometimes.
Does LTE work on T-Mobile in the US? I have heard reviews where only HSPA speeds work.

Nobody using this phone in the US? IMO, its a pretty good phone, right up there with OP5. And I expected more folks in the US using it.
