I've got a 1st Generation Moto G LTE and flip case. I've noticed that when I close the flip case, the phone doesn't sleep, nor will it resume when I open the case again.
I've done an experiment using the magnetic part of a Nexus 7 case, holding it next to the phone to see if it will turn on/off. Nothing seems to happen. I've tried the same thing with t Moto G 2nd Gen (non-LTE) and it behaves correctly.
Should magnetic sleep/resume work on my phone? And if so, is there a software setting I need to change? It's running factory-fresh Android 4.4 (but with all the play store updates).
This thread is for 2nd gen. Try posting in 1st gen forum
Thanks, will do.

Hello guys, after reading a few threads about the Moto G 2014 touchscreen issue (malfunctioning, lack of responve, etc) as reported here I was wondering if it is a Moto G 2014 only problem or a general issue due to hardware construction and design of moto's.
I had the problem with my Moto G 2014 DTV 16gb Dual edition. I was running with the mobile placed in my shorts with screen facing my skin (so the sweat would probably get into the device, but I completely forget about that possibility, blame on me). After a 35 minutes running the screen got non responsive and went black with the device still running, receiving notifications and calls...
As anyone can see Moto G 2014 was designed with two silver big "dashes" onscreen (one at earphone and one at mic zone) and this design is used in all new moto lining, but Maxx. So Moto X 2014, Moto G 2014 and Moto E, any version of 'em. But Moto G (old), Moto X (old) and Moto Maxx still have a flat screen with no details on it. Are the silver details a problem? Are they a breach for dirty, water and etc?
I have purchased Moto G 2014 only four days ago and in my location I have 7 days to return it for free for a new one or money back. After 7 days I will have to use the warranty system. Instead of return and get another Moto G 2014, which would probably fall onto the same problem , I was wondering if you guys could advise me on if its better to get another model/brand. Thank you all!
The main reasons for purchasing G 2014 relied on dual chip, sdcard and big screen.
Moto G is water resistant, so a little sweat shouldn't be a problem.

The ''silver dashes'' are the two external stereo speakers
And no, a little sweat wouldn't affect the screen. Ive seen youtube videos of moto g fully submerged in water and being sprayed on with a water hose , yet the phone was responsive as ever.
I think it was a one-time only issue ( I hope) . Never had such problems with my set
So late last year when I was shopping for off contract cell phones, I had the opportunity to use the Moto G 4G for about a week, and positively loved it. I had already had the OnePlus One and was really impressed to see the G perform comparably - sure, the camera was very mediocre, but even with its 1 GB of RAM, it still ran pretty much everything I threw at it with very little lag.
Once Christmas came around, I got my wife the Moto G 2nd gen (since it has a better camera), and have found the performance to not be anywhere near as good as the previous model. Things like using Facebook Messenger will take literally 5 full seconds to open up a chat window, her keyboard freezes up while she's trying to type, web pages just won't load in Chrome, etc., etc.
I used most of these applications myself when I had the first Moto G, and I didn't experience any of those problems.
Has anyone had similar issues? Is it a matter of the kernel just not being as good as the 1st gen 4G version or might there be something else I'm missing?
For me, everything works perfect. I'm on Stock 5.0.2 with root. I've uninstalled several Apps which are running in the background.
Do you have KitKat or Lollipop?
Maybe a Factory Reset will help you.
I had a 1st gen Moto G and after a year of pride and joy, it died on me due to that depleted battery bug where it dies and won't turn back on or charge ever again.
I loved the phone but I think that was an unforgivable flaw.
Does the 2nd gen suffer from the same issue? And, what other common issues do you guys know of that this phone has? I'm thinking of getting the 2nd gen but if it has the same issue I'll avoid it like the plague.
Thanks for the help, guys and have a nice day!
Sod gen 2, I would get the new 3rd gen, 16gb version with 2gb ram

So i use my moto g 2nd gen as my dayly driver, but i now have bought a second hand moto g 4g 2nd gen, as the moto g 4g has a bigger battery, i was wondering, is it possible to upgrade the moto g 2nd gens battery to a bigger one? i know that if i take the foam out it will probably fit inside, but would the charger circuit be able to handle it? because the moto g 2nd gen and the moto g 4g 2nd gen are quite similar..
So here's the scenario, I've recently acquired a used Moto X first gen. I've been using a Moto G first gen for many years because I like the small format of these phones, but my old phone is only 8GB whereas this new one, or new to me, is a 16GB. Now I fully understand that with these older phones, their update ability is limited, which is fine, I'm only trying to install the 5.1 Lollipop update, which is currently running my older Moto G first gen from the current 4.4.2 that the Moto X is running. Data and WiFi are fully functioning in every way on the Moto X but no matter what I do, I receive a message when I trying and update the phone reading, Oops! You need a data connection to check for updates. Go to WiFi settings..... etc. It never fails, and I've searched high and low for an answer to this mystery and come up empty handed. Any thoughts or theories would be very welcomed. Cheers
