Struggling with getting the Dev edition and just getting the Verizon version when motomaker hits Verizon. There's the obvious plus with getting the Dev edition but I'm not crazy about the color scheme. Thoughts?
I am so glad I went with importing a Rodgers one and not going with a moto maker one. I have unlocked and rooted and xposedmoto has meant I can get rid of the WiFi gap, network icon etc.

What part of the ATT bands does the Roger device support?
As far as I know they are one and the same device just with an unlockable boot loader

Could you post a screenshot of the fixed WiFi gap?
Where did you import from? EBay?

I imported from a friend of a friend.. But they are on eBay yeah. Factor in VAT if you importing as I got hit with £95 bill
If you can live with 16GB of storage, just import the Rogers version (for the unlockable bootloader).

I hope so!
I'm really getting tired of waiting... I saw Sprint and US Cellular have been added to the list of unlock codes posted by Motorola, no word on Verizon that I've heard. I did hear Dev Editions are about 2 weeks out, but I haven't seen that confirmed. I don't really care about picking my own color, it'd be nice but... I don't mind the color scheme of the Dev Edition or just getting friggin' a black one. I just would like Verizon to say when Dev Editions will be available or Motorola or Verizon to say if the codes will be coming out ever. I really want to get one the beginning of this week but don't know which way to go myself...

Oops - I somehow missed that you're on Verizon. Both AT&T and Verizon have made their stance on unlocked bootloaders pretty clear.

Yeah that is true. I don't quite understand the difference of offering me a code or selling me a dev edition but I rarely understand them. If anything they'd have a bit of proof of me voiding my warranty. I'll keep my cracked G nexus for a bit longer I suppose, see what time tells.
The Dev edition wont be available direct from at and t or verison. It is just able to be used on the network if bought from moto/best buy etc

Really... Any word on when bestbuy will sell or if you're still able to use an upgrade / subsidized price with them? I guess either way that tips the scale in my scenario though. Ordering by 3PM will get it in my hands Wednesday, probably doing that.

Yeah. I know if I get the Dev edition I'd have to go through moto which I rather do cause I rather moto profit from my $600 something than VZW. But I think I'm more leaning towards moto maker when it hits VZW and the only reason I'm okay with this is because I think I could live with the moto x without being a crack flasher.
Looks like Dev edition only available in black or white oof contract from moto. T-Mobile is now and only available direct also

I'm holding out on getting the developer edition although I'm getting a little impatient since not much has been announced. I've been spoiled by my G-nex's unlockable bootloader
I own the black moto x on verizon and im in love with the phone. Ill most likely sell this phone on swappa and pay a few extra bucks and get the DEV edition when its out. I feel like a solid black or white phone would be easier to resell.
Hi, i'm going to buy moto X with moto maker.
i've few question ,
1) which carrier should i choose ?? if i'm going to unlock and use my local carrier
2) i've been told that, motorola website will be accepted only US credit card.
Is that true ? I only have Thailand credit card. Are there any opportunities i can buy the Moto X
PS# i'm Thai
thx a lot
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.

and, you suggest me to get T-Mobile. how 'bout AT&T one ?
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

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?

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.

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?!

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.
Does anyone know if an AT&T or carrier device will get software updates directly from google like iPhone gets from Apple? I have heard both scenarios as it will come direct from Google and heard the carriers release. Not sure which is true?
That is the point of the pixel line.
Normal updates will come from Google. This includes the monthly security updates and Android OS updates.

I understand and hope this is correct. I read somewhere that AT&T said Google releases updates and in same thread someone said Google told them they come from the carrier.
From the way I understand it, the Android platform (and a point of advertising for the Pixel product) now is supposed to be structured in such a way that updates can come directly from Google. It will be interesting to see whether the phones purchased directly from Google get the updates faster than those from the carriers.
I've just upgraded from a Pixel 2 to a 4 XL. I purchased the 2 from Best Buy, and the 4 XL directly from Verizon. Both came with Verizon SIM cards.
The 2 received updates the same day they were released from Google.

Haha. Good one. I read it as you got a bunch on the 2 of them.
Ok so I was bored at work today and for S&G's I did an online chat with Google. The rep told me that carrier devices will get the updates from the carrier in batches and after they modify the update (whatever he meant by that). He did also confirm that unlocked devices bought from the Google store or somewhere like Best Buy will get them direct from Google.
I only bought from a carrier to get the rebates and bill credits. However, hoping they dont screw up google's native software with their "modifications".
I got my pixel 4xl from at&t yesterday and had a system update waiting for me already. I'm guessing the October security update. I'm doubting it came from at&t but I'm just guessing

This is why I always buy from Google. Those credits and carrier tinkering (a.k.a. "software update delay generator") are not worth a few dollars to me. If I was willing to accept carrier tinkering then I might as well just buy a Samsung.
PS - I'm not picking on you, your just post brings up a very good point about where to buy a device and why.
I don't know why the Pixel update will be from the carriers and not Google.
The main reason you get Pixel is fast update from Google

Because carriers optimize the device for their network. Google doesn't do the optimizations for them.

Lol no offense taken. I got $700 in bill credits so it was almost a wash for me. That's the only reason I went to at&t. But when next year's model comes out I won't be a new customer getting any benefit so Google store I'll go lol.

I also just got my update and im in the UK
Updated mine last night by hitting to check system update button. I bought my 4XL from T-Mobile
So I'm a T-Mobile user and I'm upgrading my OnePlus 6T to a pixel 7 everywhere around Northern California where I live they only have them available in black even the website. Does anyone know if they are even available anymore in white or olive green or if they will ever get them back in stock? Is there a way to find out T-Mobile support was not so helpful on that question.
Hi @SDQB17
The best solution is to buy the phone unlocked through the Google Store. That would give you the option of Lemongrass (and bootloader unlocking too!).
If you want a carrier-locked phone for T-Mobile, you can get it from Best Buy.
There is no "olive green" 7 however, only "Lemongrass".

Ahh yes, that is what I meant! I can use one from the Google store with my T Mo account?
If you mean using a T-Mobile sim (for T-Mobile service), yes.
