Hi guys
I have a Moto G4, and my previous phone was a Moto G3.
The reason of this post is that I use an app called "Star Walk 2" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....StarWalk2Free) and it uses the gyroscope, but when I open the app it does not move when I point to a star.
It's a weird issue, because I had no problems with the moto g3, and I guess that the g4 is a superior phone compared to his predecessor.
I installed other apps,like skyview, star chart and no one is working.
(sorry, my english is not so good)
Thanks in advanced.

Take it to a service center your gyroscope is most likely a defective one

I was thinking about that, the problem is that there's no tech support for motorola in my city, but I'll go to the store (Falabella), and could you please install that app and tell me if gyroscope works on your mobile.

I think that the problem is not related to the gyroscope but with the compass, that our G4s lack. I think that this and NFC support are the main flaws of G4.

The moto g3 lacks of compass and gyroscope and the app works :/ I tried with stock and custom roms.
I don't know what is the problem, maybe is a driver problem?

i tried the guide which helped you flash the us sw on the EU version of the device, and it worked. I was running the US version for 1 day, tried updating, nothing worked, i kept it for about 26 hrs and no update popped up, i would've pulled the update and uploaded it. Now i returned to the EU version so i can benefit from the update when it rolls our for the EU versions. I can't say i'm disappointed, moto G is an awesome device, cant wait for january
I'll give my impressions once I actually get KitKat. I pre-ordered the US GSM model direct from Motorola, and I live right smack dab in the middle of the USA.....no update yet. =(
Improvements in camera ?
Any improvements in camera in this update ?

I doubt it, good cameras come from using good quality lenses and sensors, motorola skimped in the camera hardware for the price point knowing that most ppl just upload to facebook or ruin with instagram.

The camera is much faster and the pictures seem to come out sharper with better focus.

phone seems to be a little bit snappier. but cant really compare yet as i just got the phone today, and updated after unlocking the BL and root. also i think a new addition in the cloud print option. camera is way better than JB (rear)

The camera is most certainly improved with KitKat. The pictures seems to be much sharper than before.

Nice try. There is nothing wrong with the camera hardware in this phone. There has been some sort of aggressive software filter that blurred the photos in 4.3 but it is fixed in kitkat. Perhaps you should see for yourself next time.

Anyone got before-after pictures to compare?
I have a XT1033 and after updating to kitkat I got no SIM signal..
So, got back to 4.3...
Just updated my Moto G, but the Google now command "OK Google" doesn't work from outside Google Now. I have to click on the button first to enter now, and then it works. Wonder if this feature is disabled on Moto G, or if I'm doing something wrong. Was kinda excited to be able to use my phone completely hands-free while driving etc.

I believe that if you get the GEL (Google Experience Launcher), it should work.

Thanks it works now but not when the phone is inactive (black screen). I heard that Moto X can wake up at "OK Google" even when inactive, and I was hoping installing Kitkat would introduce this feature to Moto G, but I suppose I was wrong.
Thanks anyway!
^^that is MOTO X *ONLY* feature known as Touchless controls, which uses special X8 core on soc to always listen from you
However devs will never sit quitely
We have Open Mic+ and Utter!
Try those apps.
Hi ther, i came to edit this post after further testing as i posted before I finally got the answer that most people have been asking all over, about moto x Xt1575 AKA pure edition that it supports Lte Band 20 800mhz. I know it's something impossible even on moto's site didn't mention it but I think some how it's there but they disabled it and stuff. If u want me to post a link to the site for checking it then I will... but for now here are some screenshots you can see and prove with your eyes, and i started to get lte as soon as i flashed Cdroid rom v3 idk mybe it triggered something im not sure but see the screenshots .. :laugh: :victory:
where i live we only have two carrees with LTe support and they both work on Band 20 only, so this is why im so sure that this device has band 20 biult in.. lol anyways feel free to ask some qns
Thanks.

I will only mention the drawbacks of this phone:
1. The phone heats up pretty easily if you game otherwise for normal usage its alright.
2. The camera lens is easily scratched so buy a bulky cover. I also have a cover but somehow it still got scratched.
3. No compass.
4. Rom development is not so good as moto g3, but increasing gradually.
5. Stock official N is not rootable yet, so if you want root stay on MM.
Any workaround for compass??
No compass sensors but map is working fine without any problem
After nougat update the heating problem also removed if your budget is under 15000 go and buy it under 15000 it is an excellent phone by motorola.

I have ordered a G5 Plus from Flipkart(India) and it will come in 3-4 days. But I came to know that there's a serious background noise issue due to the secondary microphone currently which can be temporarily fixed if mono output is selected.
1. Is this a software/hardware issue?(An user reportedly got the update and said the update didn't fix the background noise issue)
2. People using a Custom ROM, do you face this issue?
3. Camera and video recording is an important and useful feature for me. Should I cancel the order and buy any other phone?
It looks to be hardware issue. Moto was unable to resolve the issue in the latest update. They are fooling users.

Better to wait for Samsung J7 which has better camera. And most importantly not as stupid as Lenovo

That's cancer.... No I can't tolerate their UI. XDA support is equally important as well. I am upgrading from a Moto G3. I just wish these problems were not there. If you know anyone who uses a custom ROM on his G5+ then please let me know if this background noise problem is there in a custom ROM or not. That will make the whole story clear, whether its a hardware issue or a software issue... That's why I posted this on XDA.

Even in the custom ROM the noise problem persist. Please check the custom ROM folder on XDA where the ROM dev mentioned the problem is there in the custom ROM.
So this has to be hardware problem.

That's quite unfortunate? I'm not sure about this device....should I buy it or not...already ordered one and cancelling is another painful process.
Update is rolling out.
No, in India update has been rolling out for fixing background noise in video.
And it also has March security patch

Not necessarily. The problem likely is upstream in the code, perhaps at the level of the Hardware controllers. Every ROM will be using the same source a this level so every ROM will be affected in the same way.
I've seen problems like this in the past, it need to be fixed perhaps by Qualcomm itself.

I have one concern. While in the drive mode of Maps I'm able to get the compass properly. But while I'm on the walk mode or pedestrian mode the compass is always pointed to the north.
Someone also faced this issue.?
If I am not mistaken the G5 plus doesn't have a compass right (global editions)? Unless you het a US version
