Do people not turn the brightness down to minimum to perserve battery? Its the number one eater of batterly life.

I mean, if the phone is just going to be sitting there during the day etc.

I would assume the screen is turned off if it's just sitting there.

Auto brightness and twilight will be doing that for ya.

Its social media addiction that kills a battery, ie checking your phone a million times a day.

Can't get this to recognise the amazon fire tv so i can screen cast. just get a 'no devices available' message. Google hasn't been much help so far, but there have been a few threads with people saying screen cast just flat out doesn't work?

Anyone else had better luck with this feature?

How the hell is the screen going to be "eating" the battery when the phone is "just sitting there during the day"?

Screens don't consume power when they are off :pac:

Nope. At this rate I'll be due a new phone before the update appears. I might give Cyanogenmod a go or maybe I'm better off sticking with KitKat 4.4.4.

Stick.

cyanogen is perfect. I'd switch if it's lollipop you're after. battery life is so much better.

I found battery life to be terrible. But that might be because there is no official one yet for my mark 1.

Have also tried every custom Rom going and there are flaws with all of them (including cm11), where not every app will work.

Went back to stock KitKat, removed bloat, rooted and installed xposed and gravity box.
Everything works prefect.

Mousewar · 02-03-2015 11:31am

If I hate this new lollipop rubbish what are my options? I don't know much about routing or breaking or any of these terms. Can I get a different (better) OS?

What's functionality like with cyanogen, all the main features like the camera and radio apps working?

Was there a particular guide you used online to get it working? I'm tempted to get it but haven't much experience flashing other roms.

RossieMan · 02-03-2015 11:54am

you can root toyr phone and go back to Kikkat.
You'll have to have a bit of knowledge though because the Moto isnt exactly the easiest phone to learn with.

Anyone have issues with Bluetooth post upgrade.

Have paired/unpaired multiple times, tried some other tips I found on Dr. Internet but no luck getting it working with my Focus.

Used to work great on 4.4

My brother brought home the GB Moto G 4G for myself. The update isn't available as of yet for me.

How can I stop the updates popping up all the time not upgrading to lollipop just yet and it keeps asking me if I want to upgrade.

The network keeps dropping off. The phone is the same version of Android like my first Moto G. I have a new Three Ireland sim and both the 3G (o2) and 4G (3) sims don't work on the Moto G 4G but work on the 3G phone.

First Gens are getting notifications of an inbound lollipop now.

Coming soon....

Yeah. I saw that. I will have to send the Moto G 4G back to my bro in the UK if I can't find out a fix for it. I'll have to stick with this first gen.

Nono Toure · 08-03-2015 9:31pm

Lollipop has been a pain in the ass, phone is slow doing anything since the update. Airplane mode isn't available which is annoying! And now I seem to have lost all my pics (attached)

It'll probably be 5.1 at this rate.

deisediva · 08-03-2015 9:43pm

Updated mine got fed of constant offer to upgrade so gave in . When I unlock/swipe to open screen it goes straight to my recent calls list is even if it was locked when on home screen. Is there anyway that I can change this ?

Finding phone slow too since upgrade only did it last night but have noticed my battery much better lasting today will see how it goes for the week.

Nolars · 08-03-2015 9:48pm

Ya have to factory reset em after the update.

twilight_singer · 08-03-2015 10:28pm

Factory resetting after upgrading makes a huge difference. My moto g was sluggish as fook after the upgrade, factory resettled and its brilliant now. Pain in the arse having to reset though.

Blanchguy · 08-03-2015 10:54pm

What is lost by a factory reset?

Everything. It's as if you got new phone. This includes pictures, texts, music etc.

There are a few backup apps that use gmail account to sync with. These will work for texts and such.

Drive can be setup to upload your pictures, very handy.

Might take a bit of time setting all this up, but ya don't want do a reset and realise everything has gone.
