Hi my moto 3 is damaged I'm thinking of replacing with moto g turbo I assume it will work on UK networks but wondering the flip shell case I have will fit the new phone anyone able to help confirm if they do?
If nobody can confirm, check out the phone sizes on the internet and compare if they are (at least almost) the same. But I think it should work.
I have an Osprey, and my friend has a Merlin
(Turbo edition). The phones are identical in size and we can swap our back panels easily.
We don't use flip shells but as the size and shape is identical, I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

I have been trying various ROM's on my wife's Moto G. But none of then correctly sense the Motorola Flip cover. All ROM's turn on the phone ON when the cover is opened,but none turn the Moto G OFF when the cover is closed.
Can this be added to a "TODO" list, or is there a way that I can add this functionality myself?
Hi all.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced the dramatic battery drain, which I've read about after 4.4.4 upgrade?
This little Moto is nearly 20hrs up, and still has 36%...
I myself have had no dramatic drain on my battery, I did however ignore 4.4.3 and stayed with 4.4.2 as I read this upgrade had caused network issues.
I'm on my 2nd Moto G (good specs for budget cost) the Gorilla Glass smashed on 1st device.
Would be very grateful if anyone has replaced a Moto G screen?
As I believe there bonded onto the LCD touch panel.

Hi, the screen replacement seems no harder than an iPhone/Nexus device: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd3AZSXhOf8
Also, I always find that it's best to factory reset the phone after updating (others will disagree) as I think they always get bogged down and need a full clean to revert to perfect functionality
Thanks techmineruk
I'll give it a watch, and I think I'll order a screen, don't think anymore than, say £25 (I see some include the LCD touch panel and digitizer for a little extra maybe + £10, however I'm not sure I need these?)
as all is working though the smashed glass.

Hi guys,
Was just using Phonearena's phone size comparison tool and noticed that the Flex 2 appears to be very thin (discounting the radius). The thickness states that it is around 9.4mm thick though, which is thicker than the G3. The tool makes the G3 appear to be MUCH thicker than the Flex 2. Seeing as I have my sold my G3 and am in the market for a new phone, I am considering the Flex 2 but of course thickness does come into it, especially since the plastic build would already be a compromise.
Would any Flex 2 owners be able to shed light on this matter?
Cheers guys
It's a little bit thicker than my samsung galaxy s5 was.
Having never seen a g3 that wasn't mounted to an anti-theft device I wouldn't be able to give you an accurate comparison but I would say that it's not annoyingly thick.
Similar in size but the curve make it feel thinner. The g3 did feel bulker but i think it was due to the phone not bending. I had both at one time. I still kept my g3 but returned the flex2 . I think the problems i had with the device was probably do to it being the first batch. I heard the issues have been fixed with a update. I enjoyed my time with the phone for the most part. If you liked the g3 this phone is a win in my book. I wish mine didn't over heat real bad or i would of kept it.
Hello, Motorola is offering me to choose between the Moto X 2014 and the Droid Turbo as a replacement for my Moto X 2013 that has once again, developed the known hairline cracks on sides of back panel.
I want to go with the turbo due to specs and battery, but I'm reading about many people having cracked screens without valid reasons, like the screen doesn't sit right and it cracks easily.
The only downside to this offer from motorola, is that they are not going to provide me a bootloader unlock code for either option...
I tried to have them offer me the Nexus 6 but they said that option is not available...
What would you choose?
Is simply getting a new back panel not an option? Or even just a skin (or case) so you don't see the cracks. Yeah, I know it'd be cool to get a free new phone and all (Droid Turbo would be the obvious choice), but if the unlocked bootloader is what's important to you, then maybe stick with the old one?
I've got a 1st Generation Moto G LTE and flip case. I've noticed that when I close the flip case, the phone doesn't sleep, nor will it resume when I open the case again.
I've done an experiment using the magnetic part of a Nexus 7 case, holding it next to the phone to see if it will turn on/off. Nothing seems to happen. I've tried the same thing with t Moto G 2nd Gen (non-LTE) and it behaves correctly.
Should magnetic sleep/resume work on my phone? And if so, is there a software setting I need to change? It's running factory-fresh Android 4.4 (but with all the play store updates).
Hi, I have in family 3 Moto G LTE 1st generation, one with original Motorola flip case (the one that has also the back cover to substitute) and the other with a compatible one.
Only the original Motorola put in sleep/wake up the phone...
Maybe the new back cover of the original moto case switch something in software ?
