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. =(

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.

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.
After watching several videos about how awesome this thing is online, I was hooked and totally ready to buy one. However, after reading around, I've noticed some people saying that you can accidentally shut off the screen with the magnet on cardboard. Does anybody own cardboard that can confirm this is in fact an issue? I'm ready to buy this thing, however, that's holding me back. Thanks!
Why would you buy one? There are free plans online to make your own.

I think the OP probably means a kit. I've ordered a kit (ie card template, magnets, nfc tag and lenses) for not much more than the lenses on their own.
With regards to the OP's question, I'll let you know next week as I hope to build it this weekend.
Yes it works wonders on my M8 GPE! No issues whatsoever.
100% of the functionality is there and works correctly

If so how?

I only have the Google Camera since I have the GPE phone, so I'm not sure.
I have a feeling it will work, though.

It doesn't seem to recognize them. Ive tried changing the name to match that, and make sure its in the same folder as ones from android camera.
Not sure what its looking for. It loads up any i've taken with android camera fine.
I have some cool ones from htc camera of places ill probably never go again and would love to check them out with this.

Yeah I did one on a dirt road in the redwood forests of California and it's great to see through Cardboard!
Probably a different format used by the Android camera I'm guessing, so that could be the issue.

Following up to answer my own question.
Changing the name, and moving the htc camera photo spheres into the same folder as the google ones worked, it just needed to be reloaded.
the name format is PANO_{DATE}_{Image number}.jpg

Glad you got it working! It would make sense that the Cardboard app just looked it one folder for the panoramas.

So does the Google Cardboard only work with GPE? I've read that the dotview would come on because of the magnet on the Cardboard. And you have to root the phone to disable it...

Yes i too want to know this..there is no video either. Does stock HTC M8 work with google cardboard or does it trigger the htc dot view?
Should work
I don't see why it wouldn't work on stock htc m8.. I had ATT sense with the dot view case, switched to GPE and the dot view case works the same way. Even the same features. So since dot view works with GPE fine and GPE users have confirmed that cardboard works, cardboard should work with sense as well.
Ok thanks for the input..will buy cardboard now
It definitely works on a stock M8.
The magnet doesnt seem to do anything for me. I push it down and release it to select an option in the cardboard app. But it doesnt select anything. Nothing happens. Can someone help?!
Make sure you do it in one quick movement down and back up or it won't make a selection.
Just wanted to say that sincr i updated my GPE M8 to lollipop, the magbetic switch stopped working. Worked 100% perfect before though so i hope there is some update that will fix this.

Oh really? I didn't get my cardboard until after I updated to 5.0, so I just assumed the magnet switch didn't work on the M8, google even list it as so.
That's interesting then...
Whats even further interesting is that the magbetic switch works with some apps. The hobbit VR experience works with the magnetic switch while others dont

New Gallery, Camera, OTA, Voice and others.
Only one that would not install for me was Contextual services, which I think is a Moto G/X 2013 only app.
Camera and Gallery have new stock. icons!
I installed all fine (except Contextual Services) and everything works. I am not responsible if something happens to ur device....:good:
Moto Voice app is a lower version so not necessary.
Careful with AP's link to moto voice. It's a 6 version number and the current is 7.0.13.1. The current one is lower on the apk mirror page. Strange though, I already had that installed...

Exactly, is a lower version than the actual we have installed, I think thats because all these apps are compatible with Moto x 2013.

Yup , just saw that now, my apologies.
I installed all of the updates on my VZW 2014 moto X running lollipop. All installed just fine. Two issues appear resolved: the attentive display seems to be working and the camera is much improved. Hopefully, others can confirm this.
I'll test the Camera out today. I use Camera+ though, so can't see myself going back to stock. But its worth a shot, plus I like the new icon.

What kind of improvements did you find in the camera?
The only improvement I've seen in the update for the camera is that the front facing camera doesn't lag as bad in low light. I haven't noticed better picture quality. It's still sub par in low light and decent in good lighting.
when will the be in the play store?
I believe these were meant for soak testers.

Regarding the camera, I perceive there to be a difference in the focus and capture speed. But, I have no empirical evidence.
Yeah I noticed a speed improvement as well.
Sigh I was hoping this was gonna be the big camera update like the one the moto x 2013 got last year

Makes no sense, they do have the same signature therefore will be identified as official for further updates.
I did install both the Moto and camera apps, glad it fixed attentive display at least.
So can someone who has Google fi service see if their sim works on a Moto X Pure Edition device? Curious to find out if the CDMA/GSM network switching would work.
I will try when it gets here 15days and counting. I don't expect it to work tell Marshmallow but Motorola has the knowledge to make it work (N6)

Just ordered my Pure Edition today! Given the fact that the radio configuration is essentially the same as the Nexus 6 I think Project Fi is going to work on the Pure Edition with 5.1.1. Can't wait to try!!!
Bump! Ended up getting a white 64gig Nexus 6 through the Amazon fire sale. Yeah it doesn't have a micro SD card but I'll manage to get over it. Waiting to see if someone gets Google fi working on the Moto X Style Pure before unpacking the N6. If so, then back to Amazon the N6 goes

People have had success getting it to work on the Nexus 5 and Note 5. They just needed a Nexus 6 to initially activate the sim. I don't see that being any different here.
I feel like the pure edition is a great choice for people who are not coming from the N6. I mean if I could do it over again I probably would be picked the pure over the N6 but now that I have one I probably won't be upgrading to the Pure. Surely something better will come along next year that will blow the N6 and the Pure edition completely out of the water lol. Just as long as it has front facing speakers.

Thanks for that link! We need to confirm it switches between TMO and Sprint and that wifi calling works.
I posted in another thread that I can not get the Sprint network to show up under networks on the Pure. It shows on the Nexus 6 but not the Pure. Anyone have an idea?
Looks like this does work somewhat on the X Style Pure!

They aren't really sure...
Now, there isn’t a way to tell if calls placed with WiFi connected are actual WiFi calls like you would see on the Nexus 6, so I can’t confirm that you are able to make WiFi calls and go through that whole seamless hand-off that Fi enables. I also don’t know if this will connect to Sprint and then switch to T-Mobile as I bounce around Portland. Source here

Not working for me either. I cast to my appradio 3 and this was the last thing I set up on my phone. I'm quite sad at this and will end up going back to MM because of it
I'm a new 6P user and very disappointed that Miracast was removed from the 6p, had I known, I would have investigated other device more thoroughly.
