Digital TV (DS DTV 16GB model only) - G 2014 General

Anyone Do let me know how to setup this digital TV in Moto G 2014.:highfive:

Just connect the antenna that comes with it, and launch the TV app that comes pre-installed, then let it look for avaiable channels and simply watch

Wait, What TV are you talking about bro.... i didn't get any antenna with my handset... :-/

In India, we get the Moto G 2014 XT1068.
The digital tuner is available in Moto G 2014 XT-1069.

There are two versions of the Moto G 2nd Gen, the XT1068 with 8GB and no Digital TV, and the XT 1069, with 16GB and DTV available. If you didn't get the antenna in the package, i'm sure you have the XT1068.
As our indian fellow said above, they only got the XT1068 in India, and the DTV version is not available there, if you're Indian too, i'm sorry, but you probably can't get the DTV version.

In India, we have the XT1068 with 16GB. I have this version but was disappointed with the TV Tuner missing.

Thanks . In India we've XT1068 16GB with no antenna and TV app.

I have xt1068 version with 16gb internal storage but I don't have any anntina in my box

The XT1069 with digital TV version is exclusive to Brazil. Unless you're from Brazil or managed to get the Brazilian version somehow, you won't have the digital TV.

[Request] Sub-Forum for Thea Models (moto g LTE 2nd Generation)

Hi guys...
my moto g LTE (XT1039) had a super hard brick (some contacts completely gone thru physical damage) and I just received my brand new moto g LTE 2nd gen today (Thea model). As I am eager to get it rooted etc. (maybe CM in a near future) it would be great to see a sub-forum for the 4G variant of the 2nd gen moto g. What do you think?
I believe you have moto g 2015 there is already a forum and cm for that model

EU Moto X Style DOES have dual SIM hardware

After reading this thread I checked the SIM card slot in my newly bought Moto X Style. It looks like there are connecting pins for a second SIM card in there. The SIM tray also has, like in the Moto X Play, a second slot which is blocked by a small plastic cover. I attached some photos.
I live in Germany. I did not buy it from motorola.de but from a local hardware vendor (www.cyberport.de) as they were the only ones which had it in stock.
Question is: could I simply flash an Asian or Brasilian ROM and enjoy dual SIM capabilities? Or does it mess up the LTE frequency bands, modem or anything else?
Let me know what you think.
So could You just put there 2 cards and tell us if it works ? Because i am thinking to buy one. And if its dual then super news !
I tested it, doesnt work....
So what about this flashfile _Style_XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_DS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Thats retail asian file with "DS", that means dualsim ?
Contacts for second simcard are still there i think
Sent from my XT1572 using XDA Free mobile app
Also here dual SIM hardware present
Just to confirm: I also found 2 blocks in my SIM-tray that are there for both SIM cards (so to support dual sim).
On the moto x play forum someone flashed the Brazilian rom.
He did managed to get it working whith the little plastic cover peeled of.
I also been reading about x play being flashed in some German posts adn working dual sim.
w w w.android-hilfe.de/thema/dual-sim-laesst-sich-offenbar-per-firmware-auf-single-sim-mxps-freischalten.718297
But how about flashed and working x style ?
something new for DS on Style

Cheers from India
Hello buddy,
COuld you pls let know if you were able to flash the ROM for Pure to make it dual sim.
Waiting for the results of your test as the version here in India is too overpriced and not even customizable like in the US.
Please keep us posted on what happened.
Thanks

My german is inexistent and after Google translation usage I'm not sure if the problem is related to hardware missing parts for card reading or it's a issue regarding the Asian ROM instalation.
Can someone help, please?
So the Geman guy flashed it and he had software dualsim...but he cant choose the second simcard because the second sim wont regonized.....so he tried with two simcards in each slot but no sucess...only the first sim got regonized...
He tried also to flash the brazil DS Firmware but rsd lite gives error message and end the flashing...
So he ask also for a pic of a play simcard slot, to see if there are diefference in hardware....

Hii... but when did he say that it did not work for him... Waiting on him for a confirmation... But it should work with an asian or brazilian rom flash cuz its only a piece of plastic blocking the 2nd sim card tray... And the good thing is these phones are designed to work in Asia with the support for bands, not all 4G though...

The only way to ensure it's "just" a question of software, is to compare the teardown of a EU version vs a Asian or Brazillian version.
Here you have already a teardown of the pure version. Let's hope someone posts one with the Asian or Brazillian version
Yes, I asked him a question on that video

I asked him if the phone with 2nd sim tray ripped off that plastic piece make it dual sim but he says there needs to be something that can recognize the 2nd sim which is actually missing and maybe needs to be soldered...
Oh and that soldering part seems like a tough task. Or is it not ??
Brazilian version of the Moto X Style is a "clark" variation of the US with place for two SIMs (only one can be used for data internet) and is named XT1572.
I´ve also read (and watched some photos) elsewhere that the US variant doesn´t have the hardware to support two SIMs.
So they have the same outside skin but they are produced differently.

Ok. Then it might be possible to just solder that piece of missing receptor to make the moto X pure as dual sim and then for the software part of the job, flash the phone with a asian rom...

I think the motherboard is kind of small. Other than that there must been some hardware missing. I can´t help as I don´t know whats missing.
China's Moto X Style(Pure) is also Dual SIM by default
Dear all:
I am on Moto China's official website and went through the specifications. I*looked at Moto site for "Rest of Asia", Hong Kong, and Rest of Europe.
It seems that China is one of very few region which Moto X*Style is dual SIM by default. This is probably not helping you guys very much because default China's ROM doesn't have any Google framework/app on it. I*will ask Moto*China's tech support and see if I*can obtain an official ROM for this dual-SIM phone and at least support English as well.
Harv
Yep thanks ... The problem and the question is whether we can buy Moto X Pure from the US and turn it into a dual sim phone ??
P.S : The 2nd sim slot of the Moto X Pure is just covered by a piece of plastic, if we can remove it and insert a 2nd sim. Would it really work or what are the complications.
Thanks

India also has the dual sim variant of Moto X Style but the phone comes in black and white only. Not cuatomizable like in the US
And also i have recently got clues that the Moto X Pure /Style is a lot delicate and many have broken their screens with weak drops.
And really observing that no YouTube or any channel has uploaded a drop test, water test, or any durability test videos of this, it seems like truth, i msged many of the big channels requesting to make that video for durability but non one ever responded, lol, pls tell me the reason if u know guys.
The US gives them a coverage for such accidents but what does the rest of the world do Moto also the irony being that the phone is much more expensive than in the US ??
I have the UK Moto X Style XT1572 and flashed the dual SIM firmware. SIM 1 works and can be used for calls and data but SIM 2 cannot be detected even with a SIM in the slot.
Not sure if this is a software issue or if the Moto X Style doesn't actually have the dual SIM hardware in all the phones. Perhaps the non-dual SIM version is missing the second radio?
If anyone else wants to give it a shot, here's my mirror of the dual SIM firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1ejb0MqRCmAcHFzdnUtbkpIRUE/view?usp=sharing.
Oh ok thats cool you tried but sad that the 2nd sim is not detected. So looks like the issue is with the hardware, can you please post a pic of the inside of the sim and sd card slot so that we ll be able to analyse better and also may i request our frnd from China or anyone with a dual sim version moto x style to post the pic.
Thanks

1GB memory!!!

Just received a G4 play from Amazon advertised as 2Gb ram, it's only got 1GB ram... I didn't know they came with 1GB. Are there 2 different models?
Sending this one back.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Are you in the US or Canada? I ask because I read the only the 16gb/2gb model is coming to North America. Also, the phone won't even be released until Sept. 15. on Amazon.
There is a 8gb/1gb international model. It probably won't have NA LTE bands.
You got snubbed. Only the North American version has 16 and 2.
I have 16gb and 2gb memory. Moto G Play (XT1607) This one from Europe CE0168 / United States of America FCC ID: IHDT56VD6 Weird that this phone have two countries.

NFC question: is there a UK/EU ROM to flash to US 64GB version to get NFC?

I'm changing over from Big Red to Big Pink here in the US. I'm all but sold on the G5 plus, but the no NFC thing is a major drag.
Is there a UK/EU rom that can be flashed to restore the NFC on the US version? Or should I just pick up the EU version from Amazon UK?

There is no rom to enable NFC.
NFC is a hardware component not included in the US version to save cost. I believe we got a compass instead or something lol. The rationale was that the US consumer barely uses NFC.
So.. yeah.. if you want the NFC get the EU version or India version or whatever. The "everybody else" versions of phones tend to be better anyway. I do have the US cheapo version and love it.. but have no need for NFC.

Amazon UK don't currently sell the G5 Plus, only the G5.
That might change at some stage.
If you're looking to buy the EU version then Amazon.de have it. Use chrome to translate from German.
This one has NFC, 3GB ram, 32GB and the dual SIM tray (I'm typing in one now!)
One downside of an EU version would be that potentially it might not support the US LTE bands so you might have to use 3G . Something you could look into anyhow.
I wonder how hard it would be to buy the hardware pieces to add it.
I am guessing it is in there already, i cant see Lenovo going to the expense of making sure you lot get a compass but no NFC and we get NFC but no compass.
The Moto X Play didnt have a notification LED or Accelerometer but both were present in the hardware and disabled.

Moto E4 US vs EU

Can anyone point out the differences between the US and the EU version?
I have te feeling the only look similar but are completely different on the inside. Qualcomm vs Mediatek.
Since Mediatek doesn't publish it's kernel sources there will be no custom kernel for the EU version. Am I right?
I have had the opportunity to test the EU version in a store. I noticed some holes on the back for a speaker? on the back, something that looked like notification LED? (or was it the light sensor) on the top right front.
Also the camera's and even battery life could be different since the chipset is different.
Is the US version better than the EU version?
Better for what? Battery life? Performance? There's no way to know until people test it.
I have the US Verizon Prepaid Version of the phone. I believe it's pretty much the same as the regular US unlocked version. In a previous post in this thread I discussed a problem I was having with a specific game and it not displaying certain graphics. Nobody with the international version was able to reproduce the issue. There was also a difference in some of the options in the settings menu (IE MEMORY Option missing from the main settings menu ((I later discovered where it was hidden.))
If there are any test you'd like me to run or anything I can do to help answer this question please let me know.

Do you have this on Verizon Prepaid? Have you tried a GSM SIM in it? If so, is it SIM unlocked and what bands did it support?

Yes the US has the Snapdragon 425, and 426(Sprint) I know the Indian one has mediatek I don't know what the EU models have.
Also from review the Indian models have metal body builds
It's weird only the Sprint version has the Snapdragon 427. The Sprint version has no fingerprint sensor based on the photos on their website. See the attached photo. According to the comparison of the 425 vs 427 on Qualcomm's website (scroll to almost bottom of page), the 427 has a faster modem and QuickCharge 3.0 (2.0 on 425).

I have the US version of moto e4. It is a pretty good phone. The system is very fast (Android 7.1.1 with May 1, 2017 security patch), the gps modem is quite sensitive for the price. It has most of the sensors except NFC, IR blaster, thermometer and barometer. I checked the compatibility with EU networks. The problem is that it supports only B7 (2600 MHz) LTE band (no B3 or B20 support), so in the cities the phone can achieve 4G speed, but at the countryside you may have just 3G (HSPA) or 3G+ (HSPA+) speed, which is enough for reading emails, news, using google maps and waze or getting weather information. But do not organize a video conference with that phone somewehere at the europian countryside.

Hi,
When you bought the US unlocked version of the Moto E4, did it come with the quick charger?

Moto E4 does not formally support quick charge spec. However, stock kernel enables rapid charging with uptake rates approaching 2000 mAh under ideal conditions. Can use any suitably sized charge brick and high quality cable. Unfortunately, the charger included with most US retail units tops out at 4W/0.8A. Good for overnight charging but not a quick boost.
I bought the US version (Verizon). Can I use a protective case claiming to be meant for the EU version? Are there diferences in the body, location of camera, sensor ...?

They are the same size but the holes for headphone jack, rear mic for noise cancellation, and spearker are cut out differently. See attached picture as example.
