Hey all! I;m trying to decide on the n5 or the moto x, and I have a chance of getting a really good deal on a US cellular one.
But do you know if I can use it on a GSM network? Is it locked to US Cellular?
Thanks!
I've the same question..
I have a Google Nexus 4 love it but it's on HSPA + for AT&T and I hate that about it..
I have a choice..
Come to the Moto X or Goto the Samsung Galaxy S4..
Can anyone tell me about their experience with the MOTO X what you love and hate about it what someone learns after buying it, if you could would you buy it again?

It is stock android+ - the plus being touchless controls, motorola assist and active display. It has no lag because it doesn't have an overbloated OEM skin like touchwiz on it. And the Motorola radios hands down beat the Samsung radios. I had the GNote3 and tested it side-by-side with the Moto X and in weaker signal areas the Moto X outperformed the GNote3 in speedtests as well as having fewer dropped calls. In strong signal areas, the GNote3 and Moto X perform the same.
Ergonomically, the phone just feels great in my hand.
Get the GSM unlocked Developer Edition if you can because the latest version of Android is not rootable on the ATT Moto X.

Well the bootloader is locked down hard on the ATT Moto X and no root available on 4.4.2 and the dev who rooted the Moto X on 4.4 says he is not going to work on finding a way to do it for 4.4.2 so probably never will be. Don't know if that is important to you or not but since you are here on XDA I would assume that it is.
yes very much so. my ability to develop my phone is very important

The att gs4 has a locked down boot loader also if you are able to get the baseband version of MDL for the gs4 get it! That means there's an exploit but I doubt you'll be lucky enough to get one. You'll probably get one with mf3 or mk2. You can still flash a few custom Roms via safestrap but when I had my gs4 I was always trying to get something close to stock android but the only Roms you could flash is touchwiz roms. The gs4 is a good phone but the gs5 is around the corner and the gs4 will be but a forgotten memory. Plus the features on the gs4 is gimmicky the features on the moto x is very useful. Get the moto x you won't regret it. And if you don't like it within 6 months get the gs5 with the att next program. No root method for att gs4 4.4.2 either on MLD

well, you won't be able to do it with an ATT Moto X running 4.4.2 unless someone finds a way to root and it doesn't look like jcase is interested in that.
I highly recommend the Moto X for it user functionality, but then again you're asking this on the Moto X forum. THe GS4 has too much gimmicky bloatware for my tastes, and I love the Moto X's features.

You won't be able to root on the gs4 once the 4.4.2 MLD update comes.

You have to shell out some cash and get the unlocked Moto X or Nexus 5. Most of the phones on AT&T are bootloader locked, and of course, since they are AT&T branded they won't get the same level of dev supports as unlocked version.
Nexus 4 is still a pretty good phone. I used it on T-Mobile and flashed the LTE radio. You can try that and see if you can pick up LTE on AT&T, but they only provide band 4 LTE support in very few places, so it's not very likely.
In all honestly, if you intend to buy phone for lots of custom roms, the S4 is a much better alternative provided you can unlock the bootloader. The Moto X I think is a better phone, but doesn't have much custom roms and kernel. The thing is the Moto X work so well I feel no need to root it, it already perform very well and have great battery life out of the box.
Can I replace the screen of an AT&T Moto X with the screen from a US Cellular Moto X?
I bought a Moto X off craigslist with a crack in the glass. There's a US Cellular Moto X on sale for $75 on craigslist. Can I put that screen on my AT&T X? I assume I can but I'm wondering if there are any significant hardware changes that won't allow it to work.
There should be no reason why you can't. The only real difference between the Xs is the carrier mods. The hardware should be the same for every model.

Alright well I'll be picking it up tomorrow! I'll let you know how it goes

There's been a few deals lately for the Moto X 2013 XT1060 and it's features are more tempting than the Moto G 2014 so I'm thinking of going for it. Problem is, the XT1060 is primarily a Verizon phone with GSM. From what I can see, it should work fine with AT&T and MVNO's using AT&T but I'm just wondering if anyone else has gone this route and/or may know of any problems there might be with this setup. Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I am curious if the Verizon Moto X 2104 still works well on T-Mobile. I ask 'still' because I have read around and found some old posts that say the phone works great. I also found similar results about the Verizon G3 but after switching to T-Mobile found that text messages are inconsistent at best, hardly ever send or receive. The best I can figure is radio updates messed it up.
So I am wondering if the Verizon Moto X 2014 still works well on T-Mobile.
Thanks
