Moto Maker - X 2014 General

Glad they are finally bringing this to outside the US. The fact you couldn't get this feature in the UK was one of the main reasons I didn't consider the original model.

with the new X being more "relevant" i wonder if it will have a better adoption rate.

I would hope so if only for coming up with an idea like Moto Maker.

thank you

Just read that not only can you customize the back but the metal trim to? in 10 different colors. Geez this is going to be hard

Having a custom phone is what really sets the x apart from the others. What they need is a moto maker kiosk in every retail store so people can order right there.

What about those who just got only single online retailer in the whole country?
I am from India and there is only one online eCommerce site which exclusively sells the Motorola phones. We hadn't got the Moto Maker facility with the previous one and I think won't get this time also. Though few back covers are available to choose from but I think that is not enough for the new one.

Spotted a comment on another forum where the motomaker has gone live in a couple markets. Anyone see this in their market?

They have updated the webpage here to a new look, and it says that you can order the new one on Tuesday but still can't pre customize for the pre order.

Anyone have a link to the moto maker, or is it not up yet.

The only trim that changes color is the speaker grilles and the ring around the giant M logo on the back.
Black front gets you a darker metal trim, white front gets you the shiny style.

I wish I could moto-maker myself one with the old smaller logo circle, a mSD slot, and Qi charging! If they hadn't put the huge hole in the back, they could have added another 100 mAh to the battery.

HTC getting desperate too boost sales in US with new special

Looks like a 3 day sale to get thir sales numbers up. Their stock took quite a beating the last two days here in Taiwan over criticism they received fom analysts about their sales and CEO.
I would really like to see HTC do better than how they have been doing but reality is they need to get their act together if they want to sell 40 million smartphones of their HTC One and ompete with Samsung on their new Galaxy S4 model.
Listening o what the their customers (consumers) want is one and getting their QC in order is second.
Last few days stocks were doing well here in Asia but HTC shares took a beating here in Taipei. Local news media also called out faults on their new HTC One.
Any iPhone 5 owner who takes that is stupid. You can get way more for the device selling it yourself. For the older phones it's worth it.
can you please explain more what's happening in Taiwan, don't tell me the gap issue?

There's a rumor going around that Samsung is being investigated by the Taiwanese govt for paying people to post up fake reviews about the gapping issue on some phones. These people were blowing the problem way out of proportion and Samsung was paying them to do it. That's why the stock I think took the initial hit.

still not possible to get the ONE here in Austria - they should rather ship(produce more) the phones to get "better" sales. if there's nothing to sell, they cant make profit
It's kind of strange that they are so desperate to sell more units in the US, especially when they have long lists of customers in other countries still waiting to get their phone. And yes, I do realize that once the units have been produced, there are differences between them - but still. My order was placed weeks ago, and there is no sign what so ever that I will get the phone next week either. Bah, I'm almost considering getting the S4 now, I'm tired of waiting

well if u hv limited stock you want to hit key markets --- Austria isnt one..
If you have limited stock you will fail if you can't even fill the orders you do get - regardless of market. Having surplus stock in a market that obviously doesn't have the interest to buy at the price that will be profitable for the compary, while you at the same time lose customers willing to pay the set price in other markets because they don't want to wait any longer sounds like a sinking ship to me..

I think it was more then just a rumor. Samsung has always been sneaky. Fact though is I am not paid by Samsung and I just bought a new HTC One Developers Edition from the US and it came with a few minor scratches,few gaps and the yellowish screen. I posted about this in another thread. If I was not a HTC fan I would not have gone out of my way to buy the a developers a edition model from the the US and have it shipped to me here in Taiwan while the HTC One was being sold here in Taiwan with stock on hand if you have the right connections. I did not want a 32GB 3G model was why I ordered mine from the US.

Those were all year old posts though.
And frankly all companies turn to community to market their stuff. Some fanboys always go overboard. Sammy/HTC does not even need to pay them anymore, there are plenty who are voluntary fanboys ready to battle against other party FREE of cost
Anyway, the issues were and are real. We have seen plenty of pics here. But it look slike newer batches are better. My April 23 made unit is flawless.
Wow that thread got sorta OT really fast. Anyways, this let me get the $100 rebate despite pre-ordering it on AT&T and receiving it last month. And before anyone says I'm a terrible person, I already explained why I wasn't able to get the rebate before:
jcracken said:
Do you still have it? I had one, but I filled out the rebate ahead of time and "saved it for later." Now it won't load my old one and tells me my code has already been used. Contacting HTC results in them saying, "do this thing you've already done."

Just so that no one thinks I was paid to bash by Samsung. I have two Here to show that I currently own both. Have bought many HTC Devices in the past as well. I have seen better screens here in Taipei being sold to others. Mine unfortunately came with the yellowish screen. Next one I receive may probably be fine just like my HTC One X.

The screen with the warmer screen actually has more neutral color temperature and is brighter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39461598&postcount=1
Also, that screen can be corrected easily with Screen Adjuster from GooglePlay by adding +4 to the red color. The cooler version of the screen though cannot be adjusted because it is not possible to remove blue with current apps, so people will have to wait for a custom Kernel with gamma controls to correct color temperature.
Honnestly, if you were lucky to get the more neutral screen, keep it! It is also 10% brighter.

Had to post this twice because for some odd reason I can only upload 1 image attachment on my iPad using the browser.. Here is another picture taken using my iPad of my older HTC One X with the same Google Finance application open and you can see that the whites here are much nicer. The new HTC One I received Compared to my whites on my iPad 3 they practically look very yellowish.
Cameras adjust white balance dynamically. The photos you posted are not useful for comparison.
As already mentioned earlier, the lower color temperature closer to reference and shows a better image in that regard.

Ordered the T-Mobile version!

I ordered the T-Mobile version earlier today, FINALLY. Not sure if I should have waited for the DEV edition, but the T-Mobile version comes with an unlockable bootloader so I guess that's good. If the DEV edition becomes available later this week I will simply return the tmo version and get that.
Anyone else order the T-Mobile Moto X?
UPDATE: Our Moto X's have started shipping, although the moto site still does not reflect it. Showing a delivery date of 9/16 (Monday)!

Might wait for the Dev. Edition and/or Motomaker edition, the appealing thing about the Moto X is the possibility of the 32gb internal storage and you won't get that with the carrier version.
Do we know if the Dev edition will come with T Mobiles AWS HSPA? If so, that is what I'm going to wait for.

It probably won't. The T-Mobile version does though, and is fully unlockable... so I'd go with that one.
Almost bit the bullet and bought one of these. Can't justify dropping 600 bucks for 16gb and from most accounts a poor camera and average screen. I really wanted to love the phone, but in my limited time in playing with one, I just don't feel it's a 600 dollar product. Motorola pays 220 dollars to have the phone made, they would have taken over the world if they didn't try to get 3x the price out of customers.

Thanks for wishing me luck, it worked. I bought a LG G2 for 600 dollars. Problem solved. I appreciate the luck! :good: 32GB, 1080P screen, Great camera with OIS, for the same price. It wasn't the fact that phones cost 600 dollars, its the fact that Motorola is charging 600 dollars for that phone. Its not a 600 dollar piece of hardware. Anyway, I'm good to go now, back to my regularly scheduled G2 forums. Best of luck X guys! Its really a cool and unique phone.

You're welcome
And congrats!
I tried to order one several times yesterday. I had it the basket every time and when I clicked the purchase button I kept getting a message about an error with my credit card which has plenty of money on it. Now I have three holds pending on my credit card in the amount of the purchase and they all say Motorola Direct. First chat session was cut off and second one was with a person saying the only moto x available for purchase was the att exclusive one. I told them they had bad information and they insisted I was wrong. I made a call about it and have had two call backs today but each time I was busy. Hoping for another call back today because I'm not going to sit on hold for another 20 minutes today to see what they have come up with. They did admit that the website has a problem but without more info I am in the dark still I'm losing my faith in this company and it sucks because I want to try this phone and give them a chance but it is frustrating so far. I know its early in the game for the T-Mobile variant but damn, its not looking good so far.

In other threads that don't have to do with the t-mobile version, people have reported the phone showing up even before the motorola order status page was updated. So....anyway, take that with some heavy salt.

I don't believe that matters seeing as the price drop was on the off contract option for the AT&T branded Moto X as well as the contracted options. Now whether or not the Moto Maker will have an option for the T-Mobile payment plan feature is the real question.

I have had a T-mobile MotoMaker Moto X from the past week now, and thought I'd chime in to help answer any questions any of you may have. For starters, Yes, you have the option to choose from all the currently available color combos and accents, and the choice between 16gb and 32gb, to the best of my knowledge. The wood backs are coming soon. Price should be taking a $100 cut as well, similar to AT&T and Verizon. And I can also confirm that like the standard woven black and white T-mobile Moto X you can buy right now through Motorola, the MotoMaker ones will also be devoid of any branding and unlocked out of the box. Will post some pictures of mine when I get a chance. I have the lemon lime with silver accents and black front, 16GB
Let me know if you have any questions that you need answers for, I will try my best to answer them.
So is this really dropping Friday?

Oh God, I hope this happens. I'm on Verizon, and wanted Moto Maker so much. But I really had to get a new phone because even after replacing the battery of my Droid X, the battery got bloated and overly hot. Yeah, it was possible to buy another replacement battery, but it was time to get a new phone anyways.
So if I'm reading OP correctly, it's not going to be an option yet, or even when Verizon gets Moto Maker, but Motorola may make it possible in the near future?

but they will try really hard to try and consider looking into it!
I was at a verizon store recently and the agent there (who admittedly may not know what he was talking about) was absolutely convinced that in the near future you would be able to mail in your moto x and have them modify it to get whatever customization you wanted OTHER than changing the memory, and went so far as to claim they would be providing prepaid envelopes to ship the phones in. I didn't even ask about this, he was just explaining how the phone customization will work for people who bought early or in stores.
Just thought I'd mention that here. Hopefully he'll be right.
I thought about buying a Moto X via moto maker at full price then just selling my current one on ebay, but I'd lose like $150 in the end, I'm not wanting to do that

Verizon to open their preorder 28th and they DO have leather & cheaper than BB

According to this Verizon will open prereg order direct tomorrow.
So as many of us know, Best Buy did not show the leather as being available only white, blue, grey. And they want $609 versus $550 direct from Verizon.
So, I might now bail on the Best Buy one I PO'd and order the leather one direct and forgo the $100 best buy gift card since I would have to buy the leather and since the VZW one is $59 cheaper + not having to buy a leather back, now the Verizon direct might be a better deal since I DO want leather.
BB = $609 + tax = 658.79 - $100 gift card = 558.79 + have to buy a leather back (60-80$ so say $60) = $618.79
Verizon = $550 + get leather (and maybe the plastic back I hope as some in the UK get a plastic when they buy the leather so 2 backs in 1 buy) - having to buy a leather back + less tax $44 = $593.98
OR.. maybe get BB to match the $550 price and then you are back to being ahead if you have to buy the leather back but I just called, and they say they do not price match... oh well. Tomorrow I decide if I keep the BB po or order the VZW direct.
ps - And these preorders will begin shipping before its in stores on Thursday, June 4 (which is when BB has earliest pickup).
I'm in the same boat... Lol... Finally pulled the trigger and pre-ordered from BB. But that leather is probably going to make me cancel too.... Choices.... Choices... Lol

Good for you for finding that. I looked at the time I posted on their site & that was not posted. I figured tonight @ 9pm I'd check as that would be the 28th on the east coast.
No matter who I order with - likely Verizon given my logic above - I'm all over the "freebies".
you can actually add the gray and white to cart on verizon. i was thinking about picking up a leather one. i also noticed tmobile leather and regular is same price as well
Ordered a black leather G4! With free 2-day shipping it should arrive 6/3 or 6/4.

I just did the same thing.
So now i have a BB preorder and a Verizon preorder 1 will get cancelled since the Verizon is set to ship 6/1 so maybe 6/3 or 6/4 delivery then I fully expect to cancel the BB preorder - the day I get the VZW phone - because as per above, the direct Verizon is a better deal IF you want leather - and I want leather.
Just cancelled my BB order. Getting the leather from verizon. Just a heads up... I had to call best buy to cancel... Online would not let me.
Or you can live in a state like me with no sales tax and still win leather back is useless unless you're planning on not having a case (which is just stupid).

Yes, it is the "black" one. And yes, they do not make it entirely clear and obvious, especially when on a mobile device.
Some might be able to find out today what we get in the box - and how the phone seems - since Verizon claims "select stores" will have them in shop to see as of today. My local shop did not.
Aw man and now they announce Android M!

I wonder if the G4 will support it...

The phone is here now, today. A new OS is always in the process of coming. We have no real idea when M will hit. I'll roll the dice now.

I'm sure by this time next year..The G4 will probably have the latest version of Android.

Lollipop has barely been adopted and pushed out to phones - atiny laughable 1.6% of Android OS usage - and now they are on to something else. This is part of the fragmentation downside of the Android OS. Most are still on KK and JB. Some might even end up skipping Lollipop usage actually. And even if this phone can support M - which I bet it can - that could be a year away (or more) based on M offical release and then, the provider prepping it for the phone and then pushing it. M? I couldn't care less about M right now.

I agree. My note 4 is on kitkat still and i have no issues with it. I feel no need to upgrade to lollipop yet.
