    Box not sealed?

    One from Phones 4u in store 8GB box not sealed, other online purchase 16GB and that was not sealed either, although both did feel as if the box had never been opened if you know what I mean.

    Nano sim adapter?

    Yes, i'm using a nano sim adapter. When I asked my provider (Virgin media in the UK) for a microsim they just send a nano sim and an adapter for micro and an adapter for standard sim. Doesn't matter then what size you need you have an adapter to fit.

    Moto G First impressions

    I agree! Fortunately mine in the UK is short name so no issue. If you are happy to root your phone I understand that there is a way to modify or remove carrier name -much too complicated for me but plenty of Android experts on here should be able to help if you wanted to do it. Best of luck

    Battery life.

    I agree with Sean Burns - not a power hungry phone at all. From full charge at 6am, use throughout the day for lots of calls, emails, live wallpaper, email and calender syncs every 15mins, google play for an hour for music, some maps navigation out and about, candy crush for half an hour, and...

    Just how much money does Motorola make off the super-cheap Moto G? via PocketNow)

    Yes I agree. I am a first time Android user and was impressed by the specification/ performance vs value, so it won me over from Blackberry, although I do miss a proper keyboard and integrated emoticons.

    Just how much money does Motorola make off the super-cheap Moto G? via PocketNow)

    Also, there would be the additional purchases of shell covers that have much better margins. For Motorola, a small magin on the Moto G is an excellent way to break into new markets and reintroduce into others like UK where the brand was well known a few years ago but has certainly some work to...

    Moto G First impressions

    How odd! Not really needed to turn mine off much so tried it and it just reconnected in a few seconds as you would expect but home wifi rather than 3G. I'll try in when out and about over the weekend. Looked through settings and can't see anything that may cause it. Sorry I'm no help at all.

    Virgin Mobile?

    Hi, I'm in the UK and use mine with a Virgin sim. In UK its Virgin Media. Not sure where in the world you are so 'Virgin mobile' may not be the same thing.

    Moto G First impressions

    Hi Alex, Thanks for that. I'll try to post again after a few weeks. Another thing that I've noticed is that it doesn't show finger marks on the screen compared to my Ipad that I have to wipe every so often. Phone availability here is ok now but 'shells' are no where to be seen other than...

    Moto G rSAP Sim Access Profile for VW bluetooth

    Hi Nicole, I'm not too bothered about contacts from the sim but the problem is the system will not connect to normal bluetooth, only to rSAP profile enabled phones. Frustratingly A few years ago when trying to pair my Blackberry, forums said 'if only you had an Android phone - simple app to...

    Moto G from S4?

    Hi, That's a tough call! Depends what you will be using it for. I have watched a few u tube tests/ benchmarking against more expensive phones that may be of use to you. To me they seemed mostly to be subjective and in 'real life' situations it would be hard to notice much speed difference for...

    Moto G - Error while parsing the package

    Ok I have found a way around it, not ideal but it works. Install the app, then ignore the pasing message. goto 'downloads', and share the file with Google drive. This uploads it. Then go to Google drive, click on the file and download it. It then installs and runs ok! What a pain. I wonder if...
