Seems I'm the first one to open a Thread for the Moto G 2014. *proud*
Did anyone find a source to get a dual-sim version of the Moto G(2) 2014? Preferably on the European mainland.
I'm thankful for every information I can get!
Cheers,
M

Motorola gave out the dual-SIM version to journalists, including myself, yesterday. Is this not the one being sold on Amazon?
Actually, I find it hard to see anything on Amazon. Not helped by Motorola thinking it could call the new Moto G the Moto G (2nd generation) or Moto G 2014 as people are also calling it.
It makes it quite hard to identify which is which on the website, and no doubt elsewhere.

I don't know what is sold on Amazon? With Amazon I would give it a blind order try but I can't find it on .co.uk nor on .de. Did you find it?
Not yet. Lots of the original 3G model at some rather inflated prices though.
Any chance you can upload 2 or 3 pictures taken with it?

I don't know about the European mainland but you can get it in India from Flipkart.com; sales are starting from tonight at sharp 1200hrs.
Yes, the European version is with dual sim, at least believing on Expansys and Handteck, that already are selling the phone... can't find it on amazon thought..
The only downside there it seems to exist is that there are only a 8GB version
Sorry to tag on this thread, does the 2014 moto G have a multi colour LED notification?
Lots of misleading info out there...anyone know whether the US has a dual SIM version and the bands for the dual SIM versions? The Motorola website as it is now is pretty useless.

Before I ordered mine on friday I asked Motorola Germany via facebook if it has dual sim as i couldn't find any infos on motorola Hompage or the german onlineshop (notebooksbilliger.de - they sold on friday with 32GB microSD for € 199,-). On facebook they told me it has dual sim.

I'm planning on getting mine but I'm not sure which seller would ship it quicker. (I was between Walmart and Submarino - These are Brazil only retailers if someone is wondering).
It may be a great phone from what I've been researching.

I bought mine from lojaoficialmotorola . com . br
Purchased on Saturday, arrived on Tuesday, 3 days later!
No regrets so far...
Also got my "normal" moto g 2014 yesterday with dual sim from a German retailer
One doubt guy, does both sims support 3G ?? I heard that only the first supports 3G, the second only 2G...
Is this true??
No one can help me???
Does both the Project Fi version and Regular Motorola version that is up for preorder tomorrow belong in the Android One Family? Or are they going to be on different update paths again?
They do not use the same software.
The regular Moto X4 has a bunch of Motorola software, and includes Alexa. The Android One Moto X4 will be a strictly 100% google software phone, and will include the google assistant. There may be other differences, but we're not sure yet. The Regular X4 touts features like "professional mode" on their camera, and a bluetooth system that will connect to and stream audio to 4 speakers at the same time. It's not sure if these features will make it to the Project One X4. The Project One X4 should get updates faster, and is promised to get Oreo before the end of the year. The Reg X4 will get Oreo as well, but we're not sure when.
Since it's the same hardware on both, and since the Android One X4 has been promised to upgrade to Android P, I would imagine the Regular X4 would also get P, but don't quote me on that.
Note: upgrading to Oreo is also required to unlock the Bluetooth 5.0 features. Android 7.1 only allows up to 4.2.
I received my Project Fi version this afternoon and it still has a surprising amount of Moto software features. It is not 100% pure Android.
Both Moto Actions and Moto Display are present.
Also the Camera app/experience is fully Moto.
No Alexa of course. And the Multi device Bluetooth control doesn't seem to be here.

Does this mean that in order to root, we will need to wait for a Fi-specific recovery image from twrp or cwm?

I'm honestly not sure, but I doubt it... If a custom recovery is ported/developed for the X4 it will most likely work on any X4 that is bootloader unlockable. I don't think the software channel will matter.

I just figured out there are more than one variant of Moto X4, I found out Android One version of Moto X4 has bluetooth 4.2 while original version of Moto X4 has Bluetooth 5.0.
I asked Project Fi support team any Moto X4 will work on Project Fi so I'm thinking to order unlocked version to use the hardware 100% for same price.

That is only partially true.
Hardware:
There are multiple hardware variants of the X4. Most of them have to do with antenna frequencies for different countries, and dual-sim options. From what I can tell, most American phones are the same hardware: "XT1900-1". There are multiple software variants, depending on who you bought it from (retail, Amazon, Fi, etc), but it's all the same hardware.
Bluetooth:
All Moto X4 have a Bluetooth 5.0 chip in them. Android Nougat only supports Bluetooth 4.2, so we're software limited to 4.2 for now. This is true for ALL software versions of the phone. It's a driver issue, and not something that Motorola can bypass. Android Oreo supports Bluetooth 5.0, so we will "unlock" 5.0 support when we get the 8.0 upgrade. Again, this is true for all software variants, not just Fi or retail.

Ah thank you for correcting me I only asked to project Fi support about the device didn't know the software was limitation of usage I guess the support didn't really know deeper detail about.

It seems the Android one version does not support one button nav or Moto key. Other Moto actions like chop for flashlight and twist for camera are there however. Not sure if this is just an oversight on motorolas part or not.

Moto Voice on Android One version?
I'm seriously considering coming back to Motorola with the Moto X4. The Moto Voice app really has the best in-car experience with Ford Sync systems. However, what I don't like with Moto is the slow update schedule.
So, I thought I found the perfect phone when they announced the Moto X4 Android One version, except that it doesn't look like Moto Voice is available on that version. Has anyone tried to install Moto Voice on the Android One version? Does anyone know what would prevent installing this app?
Thanks much!

Hi Guys,
reffering to the below blog the Mi9 China version supports LTE Band 20
https://www.chinamobilemag.de/news/xiaomi-mi-9-china-band-20-lte.html
That would be pretty cool so european users can buy a chinese Explorer Edition or the 8/256 GB China versions too without lacking Band 20 Support.
I have just bought China version one yesterday, hoping to support B20, but surprise me it seems not having B20.
I refer to Mi website itself does not support B20,
China version: https://www.mi.com/mi9/specs/
Global version: https://www.mi.com/global/mi9/specs/
Without a proper screenshot of Network cell info application with band 20 working, i don't trust him.
how we can check this?

Someone with the Chinese device would have to download LTE discovery from the Play Store & see if the mast they connect to supports band 20, & see if they connect to it..

I think you need to change the title, all information we have so far suggests that it doesn't support Band 20, including Xiaomi's official website.
The 2 latest devices from them, Pocophone & Mix 3 both have hardware locked Band's so it seems flashing Global would be useless too.
I think the blog is wrong...

You could try this app

Not sure if your carrier supports Band 20 or not, this is something you'd have to find out from them I believe, or Google.

Try this one
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfolite
you can use Cellular-Z from Playstore.
it shows the network you are currently connected to at the top and all other networks that your phone detects at the bottom.
you can also switch between both sim cards (slots at the top)
for example in my screenshots it shows that I'm currently using a band 20 network. and there are some others in the area.
both suggested apps are similar but I find cellular z to be more user friendly.
as a side note: I have a Redme note 5 (china) variant that does not have Band 20. the same phone is able to connect to LTE network where I live but it uses a different cell tower B3. you should check your providers cell tower map to see if there are any band 20s in your area.

On your China ROM, is Google PAY working with UK banks?
I'm wary of ordering the China model if it doesn't work. Unlocking the bootloader and then getting Google Pay to work is much more difficult since Feb when Google changed things so I'd keep it locked.
P. S. Is wifi calling with EE working too?

Android Auto - appears to work perfectly. Only installed to test and don't actually use it at all but it seems fine.
Google Discover - I haven't found a way to do that I'm afraid (I'm also a fan of it). Best workaround I've found is adding Google search widget to home screen. If you press the 'G' symbol on that, it essentially loads Google Discover.

EU ROM is basically a community led Custom ROM with good support based on the China ROM.
Global is the ROM Xiaomi officially puts on the models of their phones they launch internationally. It uses google messages, dialer, etc by default.

Actually it was a response on @linnil that the devices ARE different...in regards of bands.

Different people have different needs. 250mb vs 700mb per second doesn't worth extra few hundred bucks imho. But are more than good enough. But it is just me.

What extra bucks?? On AliExpress Global cost the same as CN version.
However Trading shenzhen lowered the prices now. But not when I ordered.
But my point was you claimed they are the exact the same.... Some users may be disappointed afterwards.
