Why I am getting rid of my Moto G for the RAZR I.

I have the RAZR i about a year ago, was really happy with it, but the app compatibility annoyed me too much, now fast forward to now, I own a Moto G, this is my first Motorola device since I gave up the RAZR i a year ago, and wow I have missed Motorola, every phone I have had from them has been so reliable.
BUT there are downsides and reasons why I am now going to switch BACK to the RAZR i from the MOTO G.
8 megapixel vs 5 megapixel: RAZR i wins here, not that I use my phone for photography, but the Moto G camera awful, everything looks painted!
Design: Well not saying the MOTO G design is bad, but let's face it, the RAZR i takes the crown without a doubt in design.
IPS vs AMOLED: even though the Moto G does have a higher pixel density, doesn't say that the RAZR i screen is awful, and I have always preferred AMOLED over IPS, but thats personal preference.
Micro SD: The Moto G doesn't have one!!
web browsing speed: I did a side by side comparison with my friends RAZR i, the RAZR i is a second quicker, despite been less powerful, speaks for itself.
These reasons mean a lot to me and that's why I am switching back. And maybe it will make you think twice about switching too.
I just hope apps have become more compatible since I last had it :/

Well, the moto G is fine, but not something to see as an upgrade for us razr i users, I'm waiting for the new asus line, I'm very happy with my intel processor, although what I wished for it didn't come true, and remember kids, always update to more, no to less-
edit: the moto g display is tn,not ips.

yeah, I agree, Moto G is equally fine as the razr i. I bought the Moto G for my mom so I had some time comparing the two phones and in the end both have their strengths and flaws. I would say, if you have neither of the two phones and want to switch to a medium spec phone then go for the G, but if you are using the i at the moment and think about going for the G, I would say it is not worth it.

Read on gsmarena it used a IPS. oh well. And i now own the RAZR i, it's brlliant, the design and camera are far superior. But it is a little more laggy.

Moto-G is great but as far as I can see there's no way for it to recognise a car dock. My Defy had a magnetic switch and the Razr i has NFC which works fine for that purpose and maybe for other stuff too (one day...).
I'm using more than 16Gb of my SD card, so space would be an issue.
Definitely not a Razr I replacement for me.
Moving back to ARM would be a positive I think - a couple of apps have recently stopped working after an update (NavFree included) and I think multi-core would help with lag. That said, I've just reduced the lag a lot by uninstalling the updates to the increasing number of Google apps I don't use and disabling them in the app manager so I'm not hassled to update them. I recommend doing that.

I can understand you, because I've already thought about switching to the moto g, too. But I really love my RAZR i and I won't switch so fast!

not meaning to Necro too much but this thread is interesting
being less powerful ... well when you oppose a quadcore versus a singlecore with HT ... yet the Razr i can be on the level of a Quadcore SOC thanks to the 2ghz of the Z2480

i have to say you got to give credit on a single core virtual dual core who do almost as fine as a Exynos 4412/Snapdragon 400... the Razr i still have the Oomph to kick 2013/2014 middle range phone with a quality build and overall good performance
(comming from a ex SGS III custom ROM 21-23K pts user ) so yes ... a Moto G is definitely not a "upgrade"
compatibility indeed the main letdown but yet none of the app i use are non working, bonus: PPSSPP/FPse are smoother than on my SGS III
and also the first phone i keep on stock ... Moto did a awesome job to not "bloat" too much the OS nearly a Nexus experience (feel the google print ... let's hope Lenovo will not let down the 4.4 for the XT890 )
i got my Ri for less than 120$ in a near new state, it still does more than 2 day on moderate use and a bit more than 1 day on heavy use (my kind of heavy use of course) the screen bear just one little scratch
and the rest of the phone is pristine. awesome material and build, good user experience, still actual in term of performances, the camera button is practical and near instant camera app launch from screen off is just awesome.
now who really need, 13mp, QHD UHD, 2gb RAM and more, and over 5" ... not me, that's for sure (and i had several size and model of smartphones/phablet)
ok the 8gb storage is a bit...meh... since no app2sd but i have all my app installed and still 2.5gb free and i use a 32gb UHSI µSD
i need to figure out a way to move the folder for Manga Rock, from main storage to the SD, having 2.5gb for the download is a bit small :laugh:

If you are rooted you can use FolderMount from google play to move apps data to SD.

Moto x+1 leaked!

Tktechnews got a first look at moto x+1:
"Some things I can tell you right now. The display is Amazing, all preproduction model devices have a certain color back. Which I cant say to protect the source. And ill most likely have to put tape on the back to hide that.
Ill put it next to the old Moto X for comparison.
SD card slot is confirmed (at least from what ive seen) (you dont think id travel with all that cash without some proof of the device)
Also unexpected goodies! A new moto tablet is in the house for verizon and its a beauty.
And yes I will be dropping images on intagram"
He confirmed the 1080p amoled screen. Also, today he posted a video but i cant post the link here. Check his twitter account: @tktechnews

Cool.
He was trying to say Touchless Controls is not working but he was using "Ok Google" as the trigger. Yeah... mine doesn't trigger with that either, you have to say "Ok Google Now" LOL.
Rookie.

And you have to actually train it (it's not enabled by default, the training enabled the service), at least that's how it's been on the Droid MAXX and Droid Mini I owned recently as well as the Moto X I have currently (but will be returning next week).
You'd think the guy posting all these leaks of new Motorola hardware would know how to operate 'em in the first place, geez.

Truth be told!

I'm going to assume the chip inside is not going to be Motorola's in-house SoC since Qualcomm has their own solution on the S800.

Touchless control is still included. Yay!

Nice ! So the Active Display will still available. I hope they put more functions and develop for more customization on it.

Very exciting stuff. I am very curious to see how much bigger it is next to a Moto X.

Looks good!
I don't think the size of the new one will be as big as the others with a similar size display. If you look at the current X, it's the smallest phone that has a display size of 4.7 inches. ALL other phones with the same display size are noticeably bigger.

5" 1080p AMOLED, SD card, snapdragon 800, and the active display/touchless moto x features. I'll buy it. (unless it launches at a stupid high price, then I'll wait 60 days for the price to cut in half)

The S800 does have a fully programmable DSP, but why go through all of the work again when they've already done the work with the TI DSPs?
It just makes more sense to keep the DSPs found in the Moto X and just upgrade those as they improve as well. TI provides better support to manufacturers anyways.

I'd trade the SD card for a better camera and aluminium body. The existing speaker is perfect.
I know for a fact Motorola will update their X8 system integrating it with a more up to date Snapdragon CPU (possibly based on 800 series).

Center clock? Either Moto is fooling around with the SystemUI (more than I like) or that's a Moto X.

I really like the sound of the specs.... Definitely has peaked my interest, now to see what Lenove does with the pricing...

New pic from tktechnews shows the phone about 1/3rd of an inch taller than the x.
Says they are working on sanding off the markings then more pics and videos coming.

Well it looks like I won't be buying the X+1. They show it being a Sharpie width taller, which is a lot taller in reality. I could handle a device that is a little wider, or even thicker. It's the tallness that bothers me, doesn't fit in my pocket well and is uncomfortable while sitting. I'm glad I have my Moto X however, it's such a good phone I don't really feel the need to upgrade. Maybe they will make a mini or something. Who knows.

Heyo all!
Motorola just lifted the NDA on the new Moto X and so a flood of information will be coming out about it over the next few days. In fact, some sites already have reviews.
I will put links here to official statements and third party reviews:
New Moto X Homepage
The Verge Hands-on
The Verge Review (8.8/10)
Android Central Hands-on with the New Moto X
Android Central Video Hands-on
Gizmodo Hands-on
Engadget Hands-on

Moto 360:
Moto 360 Homepage
Gizmodo Hands-on
The Verge Hands-on

Anandtech Hands-on
Arstechnica Review
I will add links as more come out.
Oh yeah, and there is also this little thing that I don't think anyone saw coming.
Replies to this thread should can involve thoughts, discussions and questions you guys may have about these new devices.
Enjoy!
images shamefully stolen from the Gizmodo articles.

My personal thoughts on each device:
The new X doesn't look great to me. That ring around the camera really turns me off and I don't know how I feel about the new leather backplate options.
As for the 360, I'll have to try one before I buy one. I've heard that it doesn't have the greatest battery life but other than that is supposed to be phenomenal.

The leather is an option which mean you don't have to select it if you don't like it. Unless you are part of Peta or your religion is against it, but I'm hoping it's some type of fake leather.
I'm a bit grumpy right now. I desperately want qi charging for the X and NFC for the G, it doesn't look like either will get them.
I rather get the N6 for Android L and qi charging in that case. But I can still sell my OnePlus to fund for the X.
I have no interest in wearing a watch whether analog or digital.

I was using a Galaxy 10.1 Tablet earlier today with the faux leather the S5 has and it was alright I guess. I just wasn't amazed.
Yes it's an option, but it's a premium option. I was saying that I don't know how I feel about it because who knows, it might be better than what's on the S5.

The leather comes from the Horween leather company, they work with bovine and equine hide. I personally don't like leather (real or faux) unless it servers a purpose, belt, shoes and coat. Back on topic though, I know what my neXt phone will be, I'd even go with the G over other flagships out there.

Tbh, bigger screen, stronger processor, leather/wood back cover, higher cam and stuff, they are useless for me.
Just one thing me want from the new moto X, is the customizable voice command trigger. Or they will bring that to old Moto X as well?

Contextual services got updated which brought drive and home mode to the G and E so that's a possibility.

Anyone know if it uses the same sized SIM card as the current Moto X?

It does

I'm in. Have an upgrade to use and I doubt the Nexus X will be available on VZW. Only other phone I might consider is the Note 4, no interest in the One or G3.
The metal frame is a welcome surprise.

I like the fact the new moto voice can interact with whatsapp. Now that whatsapp has replaced 99% of my texting, this is a must have feature

After seeing how big the new x is I'm glad I got the og moto x for my wife. That would be to big for her plus it just cost me .95 cents at best buy. I think they went to big to fast 4.7 to 5.2 inch a big difference. I think the main issue that will turn off current moto x owners will be the size. Also is there no qi charger? If so that is a huge mistake as well. As far as aesthetics I don't think it looks that bad. However I do think the og x looks better.

DROID TURBO 64gb Pics vs Lg G2

After returning my Sony Z3v I picked up the Droid Turbo BN 64GB.
Here are pics of the Droid Turbo vs my old LG G2. Their both 5.2 inch screen but the droid turbo's capacitive buttons make its screen look so much larger (and its much brighter) .

Are you more satisfied with the Turbo than you were with the Z3V. I am thinking about doing the same thing. However I am worried the Turbo will still not allow simultaneous talk and Data, but only in a few instances after getting the update for Advanced Calling.
I am wondering if I should return my Z3v for the Turbo or get my S5 fixed. I just don't want to be stuck without simultaneous talk and Data forever and Verizon just confirmed the Z3v will never get it. I included a screen shot of my Galaxy S5. Not water damaged, but the LCD is definitely out.

Hi, thanks for posting this! I have the G2 and am thinking about getting the Turbo, but live abroad so I can't actually see one for myself right now. I'm curious as to what, if anything, you really miss about the G2 when using the Turbo. I already know I'll miss being able to add another navigation button, and in general, I'm a fan of being able to customize so much on the G2, but mine has some issues (dead spot on the screen, double-tap doesn't work), so I'm thinking of trying something else, particularly something with a bigger battery and more on-board storage.
Thanks!

I came from the g2 as well. Only thing I missed was root. I was constantly trying to run aosp and unfortunately mine was one that just wasn't stable on anything but stock based Roms.
This thing is way better in every way except for maybe size. G2 was overall smaller and lighter which is expected.
Another positive for me is signal strength.
Minus the whole no data while on calls. Which is supposed to be fixed at some point.

Ah, another question:
I'm wondering if the charger that came with the G2 works as a quick charger with the Turbo as well. One thing I love about the G2 is how fast it charges, especially when powered off.

Any chance you could also posts some camera comparison pics? Thinking about upgrading my G2 to a Turbo but I'm concerned about the camera with how good the G2's is.

i came from a g2 too, and a still got both phones so a could take pictures and compare, for what i see the maxx photos are richer on colors and a little bit more detailed but the lack of ios makes harder to focus resulting on more bad shoots, the speed its almost the same on both phones, and taking pictures with objects moving is a no no on both phones but talking about of still photos the turbo wins without any doubts because the reacher colors, and for the less grainer pictures.

Is anyone else as happy with their Pure as I am?

Granted I've only had it for a week now, but I'm pretty happy with it overall. I've unlocked and rooted it and installed Xposed, frozen what I don't need with Titanium Backup, and I'm using the latest version of CameraFX instead of the (seems to me) kind of primitive camera software provided. The battery life seems great, at least it is compared to my last phone (galaxy s5). I've enabled adaptive brightness, turned off Bluetooth and NFC. I don't have battery saver on. Comments from other owners?

I like mine very much. Keeping it stock at the moment, wanting to see what Motorola's official 6.0.1 does for it (if we ever see it). Down the line I will likely root and tweak the thermal-engine config file, that has been my only complaint so far...

Not really. On top of slow updates, I'm getting blue spots near the bottom of my display, and don't want to risk their warranty program due to people being delayed a replacement. I just hope the spots won't become even more prominent before the next Nexus releases, which I will be going back to.
This is not my post, but see some photos here for what I am talking about with the spots: https://reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/4gf3lj/has_anyone_had_this_kind_of_effect_on_their/

Yes...Until I shattered my screen the other day

I get killer battery life, but I do a billion things to get there. I'm very happy with mine, had it almost since release. Since Lenovo took over Moto, I'm skeptical about the update rate. I had an original Moto X (the only phone made in the USA) before this one, and the updates were on par with Nexus updates. So things have changed.

Funny you mention this. I noticed a small red dot in the middle of my screen (only in the dark) while in bootloader mode testing my last firmwares. Thought it was something with my screen protector. I haven't pulled mine off to check if it is the protector or not. I too am holding back because of the time it has taken for others repairs/replacements to come back. Even though I spent all that extra money on the warranty.

@kettir @quakeaz @Spasticdroid
Running 6.0.1 here and no dots on the screen, only a small light bleed on the bottom left.

Although happy with moto x pure. Good chance I will opt for oneplus3 in coming months.. Pure requires extensive modification to ensure best optimal performance n battery life. And in development, it's definitely on the slow side. Price was alright for the phone given this phone is identical to LG V10. I am having call quality issue but dealt with it. But another reason I will be jumping ship.

I like the phone, only one thing is holding me back from loving it. My hotspot(straight talk AT&T) dosent work like it did with my nesus 5. wish motorola would bypassed the network check for this after all it is an unlock phone.

Honestly I love the phone. Sure, battery could be better, but it gets me a full day while I'm at work. So there's that which is nice.

Agree... it give me way beyond a days worth ( I havent turned on the Moto features out of fear that it would drain my battery.)

I don't have moto features enabled either. Totally stock too. Sure, there's a very few minor bugs I have. Like sometimes opening a text doesn't load and I just have to back out and go back in...but that's about the only bug I have encountered with the device.
I mean I gave up my note 4 for it. That should say something about it right?

I am loving it. Compared to LG and Samsung, I have experienced very little lag and love the fact that Motorola didn't load it down with bloat.

My wife's current device is an LG G4, and her last was a S5. Too many problems with them both. And the G4 is on par with the Moto hardware wise, but it aside from that it doesn't compare.

I like it. Only things I don't like are
- non-AMOLED screen (kinda kills the purpose of the motodisplay
- no fingerprint scanner (although it's not a big issue)
- no camera 2.0 natively supported (can be modded in though)
- moto voice doesn't work where I live, which is all the more ridiculous that while Google's Voice allows me to use in english even though my main isn't, Moto Voice won't
- no ability to use the "Ok Google" phrase to wake my phone - kinda defeats the purpose of the voice control if I still have to wake the phone manually
- not much ROM development is going on for the phone and the custom roms can't make use of the IR sensors

I was tossing it up between getting a Moto X Style, Nexus 5x or LG G4 and came down on the side of the Moto X Style. Nice phone, just about the right size, and I actually like the Motorola stuff included in the rom. Charges in the blink of an eye, which is pretty sweet.
Custom Rom support is never going to be as good as a Nexus device, however, we have a fair few to choose from and the major players appear to support the device quite well. The main area of development that this device seems to be lacking is with Kernel support. I can see that there are a couple available, however, it's always nice to have a wide selection.

I must admit I'm falling out of love with my Moto X Style more everyday.
Seems so slow. Slower then my OPO. And downloading some files direct the SD card makes the phone unusable have to turn the phone off. Might have to try return to stock and sell it on.
