Dev Edition Worth Waiting?

Struggling with getting the Dev edition and just getting the Verizon version when motomaker hits Verizon. There's the obvious plus with getting the Dev edition but I'm not crazy about the color scheme. Thoughts?

I am so glad I went with importing a Rodgers one and not going with a moto maker one. I have unlocked and rooted and xposedmoto has meant I can get rid of the WiFi gap, network icon etc.

What part of the ATT bands does the Roger device support?

As far as I know they are one and the same device just with an unlockable boot loader

Could you post a screenshot of the fixed WiFi gap?
Where did you import from? EBay?

I imported from a friend of a friend.. But they are on eBay yeah. Factor in VAT if you importing as I got hit with £95 bill

If you can live with 16GB of storage, just import the Rogers version (for the unlockable bootloader).

I hope so!

I'm really getting tired of waiting... I saw Sprint and US Cellular have been added to the list of unlock codes posted by Motorola, no word on Verizon that I've heard. I did hear Dev Editions are about 2 weeks out, but I haven't seen that confirmed. I don't really care about picking my own color, it'd be nice but... I don't mind the color scheme of the Dev Edition or just getting friggin' a black one. I just would like Verizon to say when Dev Editions will be available or Motorola or Verizon to say if the codes will be coming out ever. I really want to get one the beginning of this week but don't know which way to go myself...

Oops - I somehow missed that you're on Verizon. Both AT&T and Verizon have made their stance on unlocked bootloaders pretty clear.

Yeah that is true. I don't quite understand the difference of offering me a code or selling me a dev edition but I rarely understand them. If anything they'd have a bit of proof of me voiding my warranty. I'll keep my cracked G nexus for a bit longer I suppose, see what time tells.

The Dev edition wont be available direct from at and t or verison. It is just able to be used on the network if bought from moto/best buy etc

Really... Any word on when bestbuy will sell or if you're still able to use an upgrade / subsidized price with them? I guess either way that tips the scale in my scenario though. Ordering by 3PM will get it in my hands Wednesday, probably doing that.

Yeah. I know if I get the Dev edition I'd have to go through moto which I rather do cause I rather moto profit from my $600 something than VZW. But I think I'm more leaning towards moto maker when it hits VZW and the only reason I'm okay with this is because I think I could live with the moto x without being a crack flasher.

Looks like Dev edition only available in black or white oof contract from moto. T-Mobile is now and only available direct also

I'm holding out on getting the developer edition although I'm getting a little impatient since not much has been announced. I've been spoiled by my G-nex's unlockable bootloader

I own the black moto x on verizon and im in love with the phone. Ill most likely sell this phone on swappa and pay a few extra bucks and get the DEV edition when its out. I feel like a solid black or white phone would be easier to resell.

[Q] Moto X, Cyber monday, help

Hi, i'm going to buy moto X with moto maker.
i've few question ,
1) which carrier should i choose ?? if i'm going to unlock and use my local carrier
2) i've been told that, motorola website will be accepted only US credit card.
Is that true ? I only have Thailand credit card. Are there any opportunities i can buy the Moto X
PS# i'm Thai
thx a lot

Just try it and see. Unless you have an American friend who can buy it for you off contract on the website. Or just purchase an online gift card or something do it that way. Look at Amazon.com see if they offer a similar deal on Cyber Monday

FWIW, Motorola has rejected both my Singapore and Malaysia credit cards. So you're pretty much out of luck if you're planning to use a non-US CC.
If you do manage to get the deal somehow, then first check which spectrums Thailand telcos use, and compare them with the individual telcos that support Moto Maker. I believe the T-mobile one, if it fits your telco, will come SIM-unlocked.

and, you suggest me to get T-Mobile. how 'bout AT&T one ?

I believe the AT&T version is SIM locked. You might have to spend some money getting an unlock code for the phone online. In addition, the boot loader is (semi-)permanently locked, if that's a concern to you.

Read somewhere that all bought via the moto maker are locked... well, it does not matter, as the site is down.
you can get a t-mobile that is unlocked here http://www.motorola.com/us/Moto-X-for-T-Mobile/m-moto-x-tmobile.html but it is only availble in woven white/black and ONLY 16gb! for $349. There is NO 32gb option, and since google/moto removed the SD card, it is a no brainer that to use this phone for more than a year you need the 32gb version... so the t-mo is not an option
the dev for $399 is the only sensible option for cyber monday. no customization. ungliest color combo.
but at that price, you have to love the amoled selective pixels on thing. because the 32gb nexus 5 is pretty much more bang for the buck still. not that i'm getting either i need my SD slots

[Q] Off contract still has carrier branding?

Do all off contract moto xs still have carrier branding? I dont find it pointless but why have the carrier branding when you specifically bought off contract to be away from the carrier for a reason. Its not as big of a deal as say on other devices like an lg g2 but i still would like to not have verizon on my phone. Anyway to not have it?

My understanding is that only the T Mobile version is provided without carrier branding.

And sprint.

And Rogers
Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone...

I understand if I buy a phone, in store, off the shelf that it'll have the carrier branding. But with Motomaker, there is no reason to have it on a custom one when you buy it out right.

I am with you 100%. I just bought my Moto X last night under the impression that it's not locked to any carrier. And that it's unlocked. However, I find out this morning after talking to customer support that the phone is locked to AT&T. I thought high of Motorola before but they are flat out liars. When they posted the promotion on their website for Cyber Monday, it clearly said "Unlocked Moto X" phone for $349; discounted $150 for Cyber Monday.

The number of phones sold off contract is so insignificant that the cost to change the production to not print on them probably wouldn't be worth the added cost. Sure, for phones like the Developer Edition that can only be purchased off-contract, I could see an argument, but they aren't going to change their product for 1% of their sales.

somebody posted a pic of the VZW dev. edition with the VZW logo AND the Dev. edition printing remved from the back of the phone. IIRC, the buyer scraped it off with a scissors.
I may do the same to the VZW logo on my DE.

So no way a sprint moto x would work on verizon would it? Both CDMA and sprint is bootloader unlocked and therefore could you flash vzw dev edition roms on it? i really dont want that verizon logo haha

It was posted 349 off contract for any carrier. There was no sign of saying it's unlocked. U must have read it wrong.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I think what really annoys me too is that when im buying off contract im expecting it not to be carrier tied or i would have boughten it ON contract. So for verizon i personally just dont want that bloat wear or any of that junk. Guess theres no option?

I hate to be that guy, but... Does it really matter? I don't care for Verizon's logo either, but it doesn't look horrible. It's subtle.

Are All No Contract GSM Phones Identical on Motomaker?

Am getting close to pulling the trigger. Plan on buying unlocked GSM. On the Motomaker site, I get three choices:
1) Pure (I assume no SIM)
2) NET10 (I assume NET10 SIM)
2) ATT (I assume ATT SIM)
All cost the same (start at $499).
My question is, are all 3 the EXACT same model, with the exception of the SIM (or lack thereof)? Are these all The Pure Edition (XT1095)?

Only 1) is pure. ATT is a different model and not sure about net10. Google would probably get you the answer.

The Net10 or with TMO Sim will be the Pure edition.
The model will be XT1095

Pure does come with a T-Mobile sim.

It's an interesting method, but the one labeled as "Pure Edition" comes with T-Mobile SIM while the Net10 version isn't labelled as Pure, although I've seen some people say they're identical except the SIM.

1. It looks like the ATT Version has exactly the same bands and hardware as the Pure. Am I correct?
2. Does the ATT Version have an ATT Logo on it?
3. Is there ATT "bloatware"? If so, is it removable?
4. Is it locked?
5. Any other differences from the "Pure"?

2. Yes
3. Yes there is. Most of it, but not all.
4. Bootloader is locked. This is the the biggest issue/difference.

A friend of mine (who educated me about this phone; I want one too now), accidentally ordered the ATT when she really wanted the Pure. She hasn't received it yet (it should get to her in a few days). The problem is, she really needs a new phone (her old one is dying).
Can she accept the new one, and call Moto to "swap" it for the Pure? Will they let her use the ATT one until the Pure arrives?

No. But I believe AT&T does have a 15 day return policy. Or she can order a Nexus 6 from AT&T.

If she ordered it contract free from Motorola she might be able to call them and explain the error. I mean, they do give you 14 days to exchange a MotoMaker phone if you don't like the design, so they might be willing to switch the model for her too.

Yes, she did order it contract free from Motorola.

She always has two weeks no questions asked to return it

Yes, understand, but she would prefer to do an even exchange, as she needs a phone and she doesn't want to lose the cyber-monday coupon she used.

Order the replacement now, then return the other one in a week when the new one comes

Welp, the only way for her to find out for sure is to call Motorola.

I have another idea. Is she "SURE" that she ordered incorrectly, or MAYBE they made a mistake? I'm pretty sure that if she tells them that she thought that she ordered the Pure, but they sent the ATT, that they will do an even swap for her! :cyclops:

Any Canadians Get a Moto Maker Moto X?

After hearing about the 140 dollar off black Friday sale, I am really considering the phone. The only issue is Moto does not ship to Canada, and I am not sure if they accept Canadian credit cards. Anyone in Canada ever manage to get a Pure Edition Moto X?

i got it when the preorder started.... but i have american credit cards.. had it shipped to my bro's place and he brought it over next time he came to town.. shame they don't have the moto maker in canada

I'm hoping to get in on the Moto Maker deal on Monday (I have relatives in the US, so I'm not so worried about shipping). The question I have is, are there any concerns about hooking it up to the Bell network? From what I'm seeing, I should get the "Pure Edition" and the bands look like they'd match up, but I'm hoping someone can verify that yes this will work before I drop $450 on a new phone

nice, but do you have an american credit card?

I might have to have my relatives help me out on that front, but as long as I can get the deal when the site is actually up, that shouldn't be a problem.
And thanks Steve-x for answering the bands question
Definitely a better plan than the Nexus 5 I was originally going to go for!

I bought a used Telus XT-1097 the other day, if not for that I was wanting the Pure edition as well as it is clearly the best model to buy. End of the day buying one locally that was like new for a fair price was just way easier then trying to get a US prepaid Visa. I didn't need to but I sim unlocked it for fun, it was less then 3 bucks for the code.
Will likely bootloader unlock and root after I've given it a really good test/workout.

You might want to wait until you get teh update before rooting and unlock boot loader.... seems I read in a few threads you have to flash back to a stock image to get the update....... unless of course your planning on flashing the XT1095 image.. but I'd research that first too...

Yeah, I have been waiting so far. It doesn't look too bad though. With 4.4.4 the unroot option in SuperSU should handle things just fine, then flash stock recovery back. The only two things I really want are ad blocking and to enable the green light to indicate when the phone is charging. Might also do a custom boot animation, again easy to undo.
