Moto G - [Threads Merged]

ShaneU · 23-10-2014 6:24pm

€130 in Xtravision now (4.5 inch version)

AlanS181824 · 23-10-2014 6:40pm

Now my phone is fecked!

I turn it on and it passes the Motorola boot logo but then I'm met with a totally black screen.

I can see light coming through it but I can't interact with it.

Looking it up it apparently happens to 1 in every million phones!

Tried clearing cache and factory resetting... Nothing

hynesenberg · 23-10-2014 7:21pm

Getting very very confused with all these different Moto G's popping up.
Is it still the best phone in this price category? And where is the best place to get one?
Also which is the better argos offer?
The
Sim Free Motorola Moto G LTE Mobile Phone - Black for 199e with argos
Or
Sim Free Motorola Moto G 5 Inch - Black 189e with argos?
Sorry can't send links cause i'm a new user.

Depends if you want 4g or want the 5 inch without 4g but with a better camera.

CiDeRmAn · 23-10-2014 7:36pm

I have my Moto G a week now and it's a fantastic phone.
The 8gb storage is fine for me, not expandable.
The screen size is smaller than I'm used to but it's lovely and crisp.
And I picked it up off a guy, phone in perfect condition, for €90.
Probably the best value phone I've ever owned, certainly I'm liking it more than my S4, at least there's no proximity sensor issues.

Lollipop on the way, but running well with Nova and the Flatro icon set.

Next phone will definitely be a Nexus... . Or Moto.... . Unless the Flex 2 is out from Samsung...

Thanks! I'm leaning towards the 4g. But for someone not really in the know, what would the big differences between this phone and say the Vodafone Smart 4g be then?

Baxtardo · 24-10-2014 1:25pm

Does anyone know if any shops are carrying the 5" Moto G? Argos seems to be wiped out across the board.

gerrykin22 · 24-10-2014 1:48pm

Tesco have the 5 inch online.

Thanks, looking to get it in a store before or over the weekend if I can. I'm not sure if unlock codes are available for the 5" yet either.

Peregrine · 24-10-2014 3:53pm

€180 for the 5 inch with Tescomobile. That would have been a good deal for me. Even if the phone is locked, it could have saved me a tenner over Argos since I'm already with Tesco.

Thargor · 24-10-2014 3:58pm

+ the clubcard bonus, Im getting one for the mother I think.

Oh interesting, will have to see what the auld one has on her card. Thanks!

So, does anyone know if unlock codes are available for the 5" Moto G?

minitrue · 24-10-2014 4:54pm

Now people have mentioned the Tesco 5" it would be nice if someone could confirm if it is dual sim or not

de biz · 24-10-2014 9:07pm

Very disappointed with this phone>battery life and storage.

Even though I have no music or pictures etc on it still it tells me storage full.

Cant even receive text msgs now.

Seen reviews saying this phone was comparable to iphone earlier models¬!

Ahh, come out of it. You've obviously messed something up.

Pretty sure it has been said her a couple of times that it is dual-SIM.

Sam Mac · 25-10-2014 2:20am

Where is the cheapest place/site to get the Moto G 4G?

Sagi · 25-10-2014 3:20pm

does anyone know where I can get the new moto g sim free in cork city over the weekend, argos is out of stock and I could not really find it anywhere else

thx

It's unlocked on Amazon for about 182 delivered, and you don't have to use parcel motel

David900 · 27-10-2014 12:21am

Just lost my phone this evening so badly need to pick up something tomorrow.
Does anyone know any place I could pick up the 5 inch Moto G anywhere in Dublin tomorrow?

Did you try tracking it?

I'm not sure how to do that to be honest.
It's a Galaxy 4 and I didn't have any tracking apps installed on it...

Log into the Google Device Manager, it's Google's equivalent to find my iPhone. Not sure if it is enabled by default however.

I'd be all over this, can't see anything on their website.

Sadly Tesco seemed to have my phone in Belfast and have thrown up a message querying the address but didn't bother to contact me in any way.
I had tried to get it to a Dublin Parcel motel address by way of the old BT11AA thing.

Might need to read how parcel motel works. No need for that postcode. You send it to Antrim and they deliver it to whatever motel you have chosen.

Bought this cover for my phone. Worked out at £4.20 including delivery. Took a week to arrive. Am happy enough with quality.

Sorry seems to have gone up from 3 to 4 pounds since I ordered it

Baxtardo · 29-10-2014 2:39pm

Managed to reserve a 5" version in Argos in Kildare. It's worth checking once in a while for anyone looking as stock seems to pop up now and again.

As someone else asked, where? It's not online and my local store says they "don't do" phones any more... (which is new, if it's true?).

Catmologen · 03-11-2014 11:37am

Anyone having an issue with their headphone socket? My headphones only fit in loosely, the slightest touch knocks them out. Thinking of returning to Amazon for a replacement.

Mine was fine up until yesterday morning, I think the little clip inside has been damaged somehow.

Xtravision artane had them, says €150 on the wall, scanned at €130

thesandeman · 04-11-2014 7:36pm

If anyone is still looking for a case for the 5" they are available in B+M shops now. I got mine at the concession stall in the Eyre Sq Centre in Galway. €15. She only got them in today so I guess they will be widely available shortly.
They are labeled as Moto G2 cases.

Kleine Hundin · 05-11-2014 11:02pm

I have an original moto g which I'm quite happy with but lately if the battery goes flat or I have to restart the phone, it doesn't connect to the phone network. No error, just no reception. I have to reseat the SIM to get it back on the network. Has anyone had any similar issue?

I have the original also. I bought it last February Sim Free and I am very happy with it, but now and then it will display the No Sim icon and disconnect from the network and I have to re-seat the Sim to get it back. It doesn't happen often and I think it tends to happen if the phone has been stressed in my back pocket, or slightly bent. It's annoying but other than that it's great. I can live with it so I haven't had it replaced but if it got worse I would.

The only other thing I dislike it the low RAM. If I'm browsing it becomes apparent when I use more than one tab as it often reloads the page if I flick between them, causing me to lose my place in a page/forum. Happens all the time using Reddit or Slashdot. The phone itself is still in great shape, with no scratches so I think over all the build quality is good.

Lads I have a bit of a problem, I hope someone can help

I have the 2nd gen moto g and mounted a 32gb SD card which went fine

The card shows up in storage but when I use airdroid or any ftp apps, the SD card folder isnt visible even though its mounted whuch means I cant transfer any of my music onto it

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I can fix this?

Thanks lads

Tried to go through the Moto system of finding out when we'll get the Lollipop upgrade but no success.

First gen OG Moto G (Should be called the Moto OG?) Still happy enough with it about a year on and wondering when we'll get this update. Anyone a bit more clued in on this?
