    They still have them in Bray as of last night but most of the staff will tell you they dont, insist someone goes into the office and checks the safe, thats where they are, no mention of it in the phones section, no clue at customer service. 2nd Gen 4G Black for €59.99. None in Greystones, not getting them back in.

    Tried rooting mine. Couldn't unlock the bootloader from moto development website.

    It would be hard to purchase them from the safe if that's where the Motos are being kept!

    Any decent ROM worth unlocking this for? Seems to be pretty stock from what I can see apart from the MOTO apps which you need for notificatios etc, no sign of them using any battery anyway.

    Went over to Tesco during lunch in time to see an employee adding sales tags. Picked up a Samsung Galaxy Trend 2 Lite phone for 59.99 EUR. 5 left at the Galway Shopping Centre store.

    Picked up a 1st gen moto e for 49 . Very happy with it. Seems like a better phone that the Trend lite.

    Yes, and it tells you on the box. Look at the computer printed label stuck on the side with multiple barcodes on it, it says XT1524 MOTO E (2ND GEN) WITH 4G LTE.

    1st Gen 3G is qualcomm 200 GPU Adreno 302
    2nd Gen 3G is qualcomm 200 GPU Adreno 302
    2nd Gen LTE\4G is qualcomm 410 GPU Adreno 306

    But I think all the ones in Ireland are 4G\LTE

    one thing that is getting on my nerves . Internal memory has become an issue on the first week.

    I only have a few apps such as maps, facebook and twitter. So much bloatware maybe....


    The new lollipop software upgrade has really decimated the memory I think.

    When I was looking at it, there seemed to be a lot of Google Apps/Services bloat. I disabled the ones I won't be using and installed their updates. I don't like the way Android, is very fragmented about moving apps to SD card depending on OEM and Android version.

    So what's the deal with getting Tesco mobile phones unlocked without paying the minimum credit spend/waiting that time period?

    I can't speak for other brands like Samsung, Alcatel etc., that Tesco also stock, but in the case of the Moto E, the phone won't come out of the box locked to Tesco.
    The phone will lock to the first SIM card it finds regardless of the network.
    To try and offset this, Tesco supply the phone with their SIM already installed in the phone. (It takes a micro SIM.) The only thing you have to do is remove the Tesco SIM from the phone before turning it on for the first time and replace it with your own SIM.

    If you thereafter wish to completely unlock the phone, so that you can swap SIMs about as you like, it is less than €3 on eBay to get an unlock code.
