How much bloat is on the Sprint Moto X. 50/50 chance I choose this over a Nexus 5 tomorrow.

VERY little, in my opinion. I was coming from the Samsung Galaxy S III, and was also trying to choose between the N5 and the MotoX. I chose the Moto, and so far I'm really pleased.

Any regrets knowing that it won't be compatible with SPARK?

Not directed at me but if I chose moto i'll only be on it until my contract is up in June. I have good Sprint service but I want to go to a GSM carrier and buy unlocked since i'm done with contracts. The intriguing part about Nexus 5 is i could use it on Sprint and then take it elsewhere when my contract is up. Moto X brings innovation though. The X2 would definitely be my next phone.

Is it? I asked the sales rep about that and they said an update would be released when SPARK went live in the area. If that's incorrect, then I suppose the N5 might be a better bet if you're looking to acquire SPARK functionality sooner.

I was under the impression that it is a hardware issue and not software. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I will defer to those with more insider information than I. I've found the Moto X to be speedier than my GS3 in the Houston area, so while SPARK would be nice, I can't say it makes me regret purchasing this phone if it will not be compatible. So far I've been very pleasantly surprised at how much I'm liking it.

on sprint, chose the MotoX because it feels much better in hand. Hardware and software working VERY well together in this little device. The nexus 5 looked great, but I am not one to do any or much flashing or tinkering with phones. I wanted a phone that worked, and the MotoX fits that bill the best IMO. I also got it for 1 cent on Amazon for upgrade, so that was awesome.

Apparently there's a flashable update zip here. If anyone is rooted with stock recovery can you try it and let us know?

I just tried to flash that but it said an error about it was meant for ghost devices.

How is everyone liking the screen size with the soft keys? I was messing around with a co-workers and I didn't love the screen size. I have a N5 and was thinking about getting my wife the Moto X, she currently has the Sprint SII and I don't want to downgrade her screen size. I know I am used to the N5 screen so maybe her going from SII to Moto X won't be so bad.

I'm in Kansas and still haven't got the update notification any way to force it. Pure bone stock Rom and stock recovery

I got it by placing the flashable zip posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452246 into my sd card, tried to flash it via stock recovery, getting an error message, and finally rebooting my phone and hitting the system update button and finally getting it.
The speed is amazing. No stutters or hiccups when running on ART instead of dalvik. I'm so happy right now .

Verizon Developer Edition

Hopefully this version comes out, I did see an unlocked model, but that is only for GSM and Sprint.

all i know is VZW is locked so they better offer me the Dev Edition today when the regulars go on sale at 12noon central time. :fingers-crossed:

Just came here to check on this. Is there any info on if there will be a VZW Dev Edition? I assume price is $550 for 32gb version, which is a pretty penny but will be worth it.
Most likely will come out same time as unlocked version right? Sept 25th rumored?

Either no verizon de or a miscommunication.

Well, that's discouraging. I really hope they reconsider that decision.

I hope that information is wrong, total bummer if true.
The only real reason I need an unlocked bootloader is to tether (for free). I have unlimited and I use my hotspot to run my tablet a LOT.
Come'on Verizon!

man hold on..let the roll out start before we jump to conclusion about no VZW Dev edition.. there is no way they wont offer one. they made money this way last time. i bought at the damn 700 dollar range first day offered.

This will be the reason I'm going to leave VZW even though I still have unlimited data. What a crock [emoji35]

I found this though, but it might just be the unlocked version I posted about at the beginning
http://phandroid.com/2014/09/05/bootloader-unlocked-moto-x-2nd-gen-2014/

What did they say about the first generation developers edition when It was first announced? I'm hoping they are just giving Verizon a month or so head start with the standard version before releasing one. The first Google+ thread did mention that it was just "at this time".

I think Justin case unlocked the boot loader on the original X, maybe it will work for this one too

The newest bootloader on the original MX has yet to be broken, but I have saw talk of the firmware before the last update being include on Sunshine that @jcase created. Hopefully he will get a Verizon model when It is released.

Edit-I just realized that info in my post had already been posted

I bet Verizon is avoiding releasing a dev edition this year because they sold way more than they wanted to last year. For Verizon the less people with unlocked phones the better, that's how they see it anyhow.

I'm curious to see if they offer any developer editions from this point forward ... If they do, why single out the X? (unless it really sold that badly and this was a choice made by Motorola, not Verizon)

I'm betting it was a choice made by Motorola. I bought a 2013 Dev edition about 2 weeks ago and it had a build date of January. If I'm getting January stock in August then it did not sale well at all. [emoji20]

Split Moto X Section?

Hi Moderators,
Is it possible to split Moto X 2014 into it's respective carrier sections for easier browsing?
Thanks!
Cody
Edit: Meant to put in Q&A, my bad, Feel free to move it.

there will b no need..especially when it comes to aosp roms..it will be best to unify the device tree to build for all unlockable variants of the moto x (2nd). would also even stock roms will probably only for unlockable boot loader. But if jcase or other can unlock theses boot loaders for VZW user there really no reason since almost all right now will b gsm user thats can flash..nd VZW have to sit nd wait for root or unlock for there boot loader. my two cents

As a VZW X user I would like our development split into a semi-separate subforum. Mainly for bootloader and/or root purposes. Maybe sticking us under this Moto X forum as "Verizon Moto X 2014 General" would be sufficient. Just spitballing here... Wouldn't be the end of the world if mods say no.

Yup, the only reason I even have Verizon though is because I travel a lot and I have yet to lose signal anywhere except tunnels.

Someone didn't proof read.....

Found this on the display in Kroger today, I guess some one was trying to future proof their ad. It does go to show that android 5.0 is designed to work on weaker devices if it turns out to be true.
Sorry that this isn't specific to our n5, I thought nexus users would find it more interesting than anyone else.

Perhaps the OP should have posted it in the moto forums, but I am not him.

I was more posting it in regards to the rollout of android l, or 5.0. It hasn't even been officially released, yet even prepaid providers, like net10 in this case, have already updated their advertising to reflect the change.
In my mind, that directly correlated to meaning many phones being updated quickly and less overall variance of android version across the phone world.

They actually did a small bit of research and they probably didn't want to spend the extra money to redo the features. Technically in saying it'll run an OS that's not even out yet, it implies to anyone technical conscious that it'll be upgradable, thereby making it a better buy. Plus it's good marketing saying "this phone is future proof and will run the OS that's not out quite yet."

If you're discussing the Moto E, it belongs in that forum.
