I have the feeling my battery is getting weak so I decide to change it. The replacement should not be so difficult.
1) Is the battery of the Moto G 2nd gen exactly the same like the one of the Moto G 1st gen? I did a quick search for it on ebay /amazon and there are only batteries for the Moto G (XT1032) as I could see on first sight.
2) Has someone changed the battery and has some tipps for me? Or has seen a good tutorial?

No, the batteries on the Moto G and Moto G 2014 are different.

Thx Tel but I´m a bit confused now. This factoryoutletstore sells the model ED30 as the fitting battery for the XT1068 .
@Ragarianok wrote that it´s not the same battery like the one used in the Moto G 1st gen. But for example in this german shops exactly the same model ED30 is sold for the XT1032, even the other code SNN5932A is the same:
akku500.de
amazon.de
Ebay
So the ED30 is built in 1st gen and 2nd Gen Moto G´s? I don´t wanna buy the wrong item...
edit: In this YT vid of a Moto G 2nd gen battery replacement it´s called ED30 too but the other code seems not to be SNN5932A, if I read it correctly it´s SNN5954A: https://youtu.be/UmKg2DcfPfk?t=120
You're right, I'm curious to see what they'd say if called on the phone.

Good luck, I've had mixed results when talking to them.
I´m really surprised to find this battery which has 2200 mAh, is for the models Moto G2, MotoE 2nd, XT1063, XT1064, XT1068, XT1077, XT1079, XT1526, XT1528 and replaces ET40, FT40, ANN5955A, SNN5956A battery types.

Does anyone know if Motorola will replace via OEM warranty the cracking around the USB port and the front camera thing sliding down? My Verizon Developer Edition I bought coming up a year ago has both these issues, didn't know if it was worth trying to get a warranty before I'm out. Anyone had experience for either issue?
Thanks!

I believe they will, but aren't they offering 2014 models as the warranty replacements on the 2013's now? And if that is the case, there isn't a Dev Edition for Verizon anymore (so no unlockable bootloader).
EDIT: Never mind. it wasn't moto, it was Asurion (Verizon's insurance thing)... http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/asurion-replacing-1st-gen-moto-x-2014-t2912883

The 2014 pure edition is looked upon as a developer edition. My 2013 X custom had the camera issue like yours. I was told that due to availability issues with materials, I was given a custom 2014 X. Not sure how yours would be handled.

No, it is not.
Ahh. Thanks everyone. Sounds like I don't have any options unless I want a non-developer edition of the 2014 Moto X on Verizon.

No, I think Moto still has 2013 DE to give out... I know in a thread last week on the Motorola forums someone said they requested a warranty replacement because the 2014 Sept batch had an error that won't allow it to be unlocked with the bootloader unlock page and they sent him another 2013 XT1060 DE.
The above comment that they were being replaced with 2014 versions seems to be based on the insurance, not on the OEM warranty. I would try it, just make sure you bring up the issue ahead of time that you require an unlock able phone and that any replacement must be unlock able.
I actually got my Accidental Warranty replacements a few weeks back. Sent me a brand new DE in the sealed retail box. I'm going to hold out until they run out and try again for the 2nd Gen next time.

Try what again? Purposely damage the device and try to get a 2014 X?
Nice. ?
On purpose? I'm not like you. If it breaks, I'll just keep it till the 2 year coverage is about over before replacing it again.

I just got a BNIB DE 2013 to replace my 2 week old, DE that I smashed the screen on under motocare. I wasn't sure what I would get, but I received another DE. YMMV while supplies last.

I was set up for a 2014 to replace my 2013 custom, but warrenty was void due to requesting bootloader unlock rather than paying 100 bucks I took a dev ed as a replacement
They treated you very nicely. They could have said, "screw, you unlocked the boot loader", but didn't.
I'm impressed with Moto. I hope they never change.
I'm in the market for a motoG and would like to be able to use dt2w. I understand from other threads that only the inx v0 displays are compatible with this function, but AFAIK to discover the display type on any particular phone it needs to be rooted - not something most sellers would be happy for me to do before purchase!
If you have an inx v0 display (i.e. it's working with dt2w on one of the various kernels that supports it) please post where and when purchased... this might serve as a useful guide for others in the same position :good:
If you are rooted, you can discover the display type by typing the following into emulator:
su
cat /proc/cmdline
The final line will read "mdss_dsi_mot_inx_720p_video_v0" if you have a inx v0 display.
With an XT1064 purchased retail in the US, rooted, Lollipop 5.0.2, Titan Prime Rom, dt2w isn't even available in Play. Other similar apps I've tried don't seem to work with display off.

Users are reporting dt2w working fine with AK kernel But depends on the display type you have...
DT2W is fully working only with AK kernel for now and only if you have inx_v0 dispay

Thanks found it. Seems like pre-december phones mainly have the inx_v0 or I could be wrong
I guess I'll try and find someone with an older model in the UK who wants to sell/upgrade... preferably someone already rooted and knows their display type

That would probably be right. It would have been at the first of the month or even late November when I picked mine up. With the 4G model coming out, you might get lucky.

Maybe. Have put out some feelers in the Q&A section of the Moto G (2015) to establish what panel it uses. Sadly my hunch is that it'll be using the jdi displays since production lines are shifting from the later 2014 models. But if it is in fact an inx_v0, I'll probably pull the trigger on the Chinese XT1079 from etotalk. It seems to support all the right bands and has a (very slightly) larger battery - although I couldn't really give a toss about 4G
That's unless anyone reading has a inx_v0 display XT1068 they want to sell
Xt1068 purchased couple of weeks ago in amazon got the right display, came with lollipop 5.0.2 think is a French retail

Just bought an Indian 16gb XT1068 originally bought in November. Got home and rooted to to check display, unfortunately it's a jdi_v0 Guess it's going on fleabay...
Well My XT1068 bought in India through its official online retailer didnt have Complactible Display though
Apparently, it's going to be the luck of the draw on whether you get the right display. I wonder if there were certain manufacturing facilities using the cheap display and the cheap displays got mixed at random into the system. You need a much larger response from different areas to get some type of pattern.

Near February, This year...
Recently i am seeing a small difference on the back on my Moto x 2014.... Phone is about 7 months old.
a very minor swelling/bulge of a sort and no i don't overcharge my phone.. ever...
So i was planning on going to the service center in my city. [Pune, India] [ Anyone in India with similar experience would be a plus ]
Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing
and
if or what solutions do the Motorola people offer if it is an actual issue [hopefully not my minor OCD]
Any help would b appreciated. :good:
Just in case anyone is following this thread.
Update: I got it checked at an Authorised Service Centre here. Yes it has a bulge which was fairly noticeable if ur looking for it. Apparently the moto guy said, all X Series i.e. meaning moto x 1st gen and 2nd gen have the back cover stuck and not a latched type back panel like Moto G, E , etc...
They will pry it open which will certainly cause a bit of damage and check the battery, also replace it if necessary. Also the motherboard will be checked apparently. Free of cost as its under moto warranty, obviously.
Reasons mentioned to me by Moto: Overheating, although I never overcharge it. So I'm clueless as to how...
I'll keep the thread updated on the issue, my device will be given to them on Monday/Tuesday for diagnostics.
Hoping for the best here :thumbup:

A small quick update on the matter
The moto service centre has ordered "parts" and "will take time to come"
so i have not given my moto yet but will be taking it for diagnostics tomorrow to figure out whats the deal... with this bulge... :crying:
The Issue here is.... in India... the whole damn system is SLOW
sigh...
more updates to come tomorrow itself...
Well this is the final update:
I got it checked, saw with my own eyes the insides of my moto X 2014, a fine work of craftsmanship n design by moto on the inside too...
Anyway, the battery has not bulged...
The bulge present resulted only because moto X has the back panel stuck and not like a latch system like moto g or most mobiles for that matter.
So yes, to sum up, it was my paranoia
But at least now I know and if Anyone is interested or having any similar issue, u also know now :thumbup:
Have a good day XDA

Hi
I got the Moto 360, but the Urbane looks way better. Is it worth to get it now or should I just wait for the next smartwatch?
Also, how is the battery life on this thing?
Thanks in advance

I was thinking the same thing a few days ago but decided to order one and got it on Saturday. I love it. I had the original Moto 360 and it was okay but the "flat tire" was annoying as hell and I sold it afer a couple of months. I love the Urbane and would just say go for it if you want one now. By they way, Amazon has them for a little under $300.00.
We should be hearing something official about the moto 360 2 soon. I'm waiting

If it still has that flat tire, I wouldn't buy it. That is one thing that made me get rid of the first version.

Had it for almost half a year now and I never see it, besides when I read about people complaining about it on here. It's more the design of the watch I dislike. The whole "circle with a screen" design. The Urbane looks classy with the right watchface.
I just bought the urbane late this afternoon @ BB. Showed them PM over amazon for 280. I have moto 360 before and it was 4x replaced and the problem is keeps on coming back. The plastic black bars at the back were too brittle. And sometimes the back plastic will cracked. Motorola build quality is questionable.. now are you buying the 2nd one with now lenovo owns motorola? So far, this urbane is a big big step to moto 360
Like what?
So how does this compare to the new moto 360? Worth getting over it? Or should I just spend the extra and get the huawei watch ?

So I joined the I cracked my phone club today. I dropped my moto x and it cracked at the top left, I'm not stupid, I was just suffering from a migraine when it happened (and anybody who's had a migraine feels my pain). Regardless of my body punishing me, I was looking to get my phone repaired. So I looked up how much it would cost and I saw a $145 price tag. I was planning on buying the moto x pure anyway, when the moto z came out, so I want to know what you guys think. Do you think I should get the phone repaired or by the moto x pure. I assume the moto x pure's price will drop when the moto z comes out, do you guys agree with me?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
