Hello to all, I'm from Germany and want to import a X from the US. But before I do that, I wanna ask some questions.
I already know that 3G/HSPA will work, but 4G not, that's no problem for me.
Now the questions
1. Does the Moto X use a nano Sim? (I've googled a bit and I think yes, but not quiet sure)
2. Does the Moto X comes only with English language, or am I able to change it?
So, that's it. I'm sorry if such questions are already answered.

Yes Nano.
Yes language change, but there are only 4 OS languages (English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese), neither of them is Deutsch. tut mir Leid. Viel Glück!

Okay, thanks for that information. Even if there is no german language, I think I'm going to buy it.

Yeah, French is supported because of Canada I think.
But, for me, the most amazing thing is that Motorola's support site says that touchless control have a beta support for German.
Hi I'm looking to import into the UK. Does anyone no if software updates will still work. I will be getting an gsm unlocked version so will updates be pushed straight from Moto and all work ok?

I can't imagine why it should not work. Even if it doesn't work, you can easily download the update and install it manually.

Hello,
if you buy the Developer Edition or the T-Mobile XT1053 MotoX then you can unlock the bootloader and install the Firmware of Verizon XT1060 by RSDLite. The XT1060 supports more languages. (Thanks to Sanez!)

Thanks, but this is really strange. Why does the Verizon version have more languages included than the *developer edition*. I mean the developer edition is for developing and developing needs resources...
And another question: what is the model number of the DE edition? Some webpages says xt1053 and Motorola's says xt1055 (I think).

Going to need to have someone in the U.S buy it for you. I asked the customer support and was told you need a U.S issued card to buy from Motorola. They use the AVS IIRC. I live in the Caribbean, so I had to sign up to a U.S forwarding site and use their Personal Shopper Services. Total of that for me was $470.79 USD.. Then when it arrives at the company's warehouse, I pay for the shipping to have it shipped to my International address and when it arrives to my door pay customs duty fee; which for me is 10% of the $433 (Price of the phone including tax, but does not include the company Personal Shopper 10% fee of total item cost). So all-in-all I'll pay $560 for everything.
May seem a lot, but when your friends in the U.S are unable to buy for you and you really want it this was my best route. Besides, I got a better deal than from buying from eBay or Amazon anyways, because I would of been paying the same price I did for the 16GB which no color options besides black or white. Whereas by what I did, I got the T Mobile version, Customized to my color preference and got the 32GB.
A steal for me to say the least.

One of guys in our local forums also got rejected when using "buy-for-me" services, I'm not sure what's the difference between your choice of service provider and the one which got rejected ( comGateway )
What I do know is that Motorola isn't making it easy for non-US buyers

I don't know the issue with that. As I was going to use comGateway. I was looking around, and when I mean around that means I looked @ every possible site that would do it and have the best prices. Most of them I was turned off by their slow customer service. comGateway being one of those and how slow their site loaded for me. And I found one called Parcelbound and I sent them tons of emails and what not, the responses and so forth were and they are always helpful. So I stuck with them and ordered. No problems what so ever. They followed my instructions and everything on how to design it and such. I will contact them tomorrow to see if there is any updates. Moto X delivery estimate was for the 24th, hoping to get lucky.
So you might want to tell that person to try them.
Reason why Moto is like that is because they too use the AVS. Which is a pain for international shoppers. I guess its to trim down on fraudulent orders and so forth.

Hi, anyone here have recommended website that provide the unlock code for moto X att? Just bought it a 3

Hi, I'm also from Indonesia and got my AT&T Moto X 2 weeks ago.
I've been searching through this forum for the recommended unlock site. Tried to contact them and confirm their delivery time before deciding which one I would place my order to. Most of the sites replied that there are some issues with the AT&T unlock service and they would need several days to come back with the code.
I then decided to contact AT&T customer service and request the unlock code for my Moto X, got it for free
If your Moto X is a non-contract device, maybe you want to give it a try while waiting from cellunlocker to get back to you. Good luck !

Yes, I told them that I bought the phone when I was in the US for business trip and used it with AT&T Gophone prepaid card. I'm now back to Indonesia and would like to use it with local simcard and they gave me the unlock code
I got mine rooted using jcase's pnwmymoto and use the steps in the other thread to protect the root after OTA update. I can say that bloatware in AT&T Moto X is minimal, only myATT, visual voicemail, and AT&T phonebook. I can't uninstall them but I disabled myATT & visual voicemail. only AT&T Phonebook is the annoying one sometimes it will try to connect to AT&T but still manageable.
I don't feel any significant lag at the moment, I can feel slight lag after installing xposed framework but the ability to customize the phone is worth that slight lag.

You can refer to this thread :

you can only do it if your Moto X has not been updated with the latest OTA, or if you purchase a new one make sure you check the System Version first.

Hi there. i bought a Moto X from motorola's website by choosing ATT with no contract. How did you get the code? Did you call them? to whom did you talk? actuallly i talked to customer care regarding this unlock issue, they told me that i have to activate the phone first which means $36 at first bill and wait for 60 days to meet the requirements mentioned at that page www .att .com/ deviceunlock/ client/ en_US
The customer care also said that they can't unlock it since i am not a ATT customer and don't have SSN.
I am stuck here. How can I get the code free? initially i thougt they would give me it free. Maybe i talked to wrong people.

The Rogers version does support AWS with LTE, but not HSPA(which is what you want for Wind) You need the dev edition or tmobile/retail edition if you want to use it with Wind.

Hi! Sorry for digging up an old thread but I'd like to know If you ended up purchasing the developer edition and if it truly is compatible with Wind Mobile. I'm currently in the same situation you were and I can't believe how much confusion there is over the different variants of Moto X available. All the data I've seen suggests the T-mobile and GSM Developer Edition are essentially the same phones with the same pentaband support but every social board I've come across has someone claiming they are not. I trusted my research however and recently jumped on an opportunity to purchase a brand new unopened Developer Edition Moto X for a great deal off ebay only to come across yet another contradicting post but this time on a Canadian board with respect to Wind specifically and now I'm very worried. Can you please confirm the Moto X GSM Developer Edition's compatibility with Wind Mobile?
Thanks
Also, FYI the model number on the box reads 00337NADEV which is what's listed on Motorola's specs sheet for AT&T/T-mobile's GSM Developer Edition while the FCC ID is IHDT56PA2 which corresponds to the XT1053 variant so hopefully everything works out (fingers crossed)

Yes I did, and yes it is! I've had it (XT1053 GSM Dev Edition) for 7 months now, and I use Wind data daily. It works very well. I can even get data at certain spots in the subway (near entrances and at above-ground stations).

I know what you mean. I was in the same situation 7 months ago and I probably even read that same board. I bet that whoever said data didn't work forgot to configure the APN settings. I was without data for almost the entire first day with my X until I realized I had to input the APN settings myself.
I can't confirm or deny the numbers on the box (I lost the box), but it sounds like you did your research well. Unless the eBay seller was deliberately lying to you, you should be good. Congrats on your purchase and don't forget to get a nano SIM! (I got mine for $10 from a Wind retailer.)
Sorry, can't help. Ended up buying Nexus 5. I wish I was in Wind's service area but am not so never looked into that.

That's great news! Thanks I'll be sure to check the APN settings also. Hopefully this thread clears up the situation for anyone else. I've been eyeing this device for a long time very excited to finally have one. How are the data speeds on Wind? I read they just recently finished upgrading all their towers to the HSPA+ standard and are now working on rolling out dual carrier HSPA+ also . Will be interesting to see how it fairs against Rogers 3G network once I get the phone and how well the Moto X's antenna can pick up Wind's signals

Bummer. The nexus 5 seems like a great device though was seriously considering it but touchless control and active display features of the moto x won me over.
Don't expect LTE speeds obviously, but they are fast enough for everything I do and I never worry about speeds. That includes streaming YouTube and music on my commute.
Anyway, i just did 5 speed tests standing in the same spot. The server was a bigger factor than the network I found. From top to bottom: Start, Teksavvy, Vmedia, Zero fail, Zero fail. All servers were listed as 14km away in "Toronto". I'm pretty sure this app is just computing the distance to downtown and not the actual server...

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.

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

Is the developer edition on sale for $349 this cyber Wednesday at
http://www.motorola.com/us/motorola-shop-all/motorola-shop-all-sale.html ?
Can only find it on mobile phones direct, an online only retailer. And they're taking forever to ship it, and pretty much lied to me about their stock.
So does anyone in the UK know anywhere stocking it? This phone seems so damn hard to get a hold of
I haven't seen it on any network anywhere. I heard P4U had an exclusive on it, but since they've gone bang.....
Yea I think that's what's screwing us over here, the phone seems to be stuck in limbo.
I ended up ordering it via mobile phones direct, they've told me it would be here tomorrow everyday for a week now. Initially was meant to be here last friday. Rung up today and they've told me it is delayed for a week. Could really do with someone else selling it
Clove have them SIM-free:

Yea I'm after a contract
Still no news on the Moto X being on any network. I can't really dish out the nearly £500 for the 32GB
Has anyone heard anything?
Mobilephonesdirect.co.uk are the only provider I've found so far, received mine a couple of days ago
I find it really strange after all the good reviews of this phone, its like the networks are shunning Motorola. I've had online chats with o2 and I've had responses usually worded "we have no updates for this device" I wish they'd just give a yes/no about if its coming soon or not

I spoke with EE who is my provider and they said that they had no idea if they would get the phone because Motorola phones do not sell well (with them).
I played with the Z3 on Wednesday and REALLY liked it. It would have been better if it was close to pure android BUT given the unfortunate circumstances with the lack of availability from the Moto X, I will be purchasing the Z3 this weekend.
I think the networks are missing a trick here, some people are after a stock android experience and the size of the nexus 6 will put some off so will be wanting a device like the moto x.

I was one of those who was put off by the size of the Nexus 6. Maybe it is Motorola's interest to push the Nexus before its other phones?!

I was going to hold off for the Nexus 6, but after looking around I decided I don't want a handset of that size.
The New Moto X (2014) really took my fancy and my brother bigged up the Moto X (2013) so after a lot of hunting around on the net and trying to get the New Moto X as an upgrade from my service provider with no luck as they haven't heard of it.
I found Mobile Phones Direct on the net and placed my order a few days ago. It arrived yesterday and I unlocked the bootloader (followed guide on Motorola website) straight out of the box and then once loosely set up I rooted it (followed the guides in this forum) to bring back the exposed goodness that I love.
The phone looks great and feels great in the hand, love rooted stock KitKat with exposed.

Can I ask is there any network branding on it? Mines coming Monday on EE, also from Mobile phones direct. I figured (hoped) as none of the networks seem to be offering it themselves MPD might just be selling the SIM free model with a contract
Hello there,
No branding or bloatware on the phone at all.

Excellent, thanks for that... Just what I was hoping you would say
Does that mean that mobilephonesdirect sells the pure edition? In spite of their nice price, I would hate ending up with a locked bootloader at the end

Going by model number (XT1092 Europe, Asia) its not a Pure Edition (XT1095) but according to the table at this link:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X_(2nd_generation) its SIM Unlocked.
The bootloader was easily unlocked by following the guides in this forum and on the Motorola website (did it as part of my first boot up)
Then rooted after basic set up.
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?

bump
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.

The "pure" xt1095 version will work perfect with either.

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...

Hi @Steve-x,
Can I ask where you bought the sum unlock code from? I checked cellunlocker.net and they quoted me $15?!
Cheers!

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.
