I just got this phone 3 days ago second-hand for $45, including a case & the original quick charger. Coming from an LG Stylo 2 and the ZTE Grand X Max 2, I think this may be my favorite. I liked the Stylo 2 except its GPS had tendencies to need more time than normal to "wake up" when I wanted...

I'm probably biased because I have one, but I can't say enough good things about the Moto G 2015 (get the 2G RAM/16G storage model). It may be a "boring" phone in that it doesn't have any flashy features that jump out and because it's "only" 5", but it gets the jobs done without any fuss, it...

Well to be fair, I decided to try Nova, and was able to learn my way around its newer interface and Nova works fine on my Marshmallow-updated Moto G 2015, there is no issue with the app drawer. I even went for Nova Prime. Apex & Nova do tend to be a lot alike, after all, other than Apex tends to...

I upgraded my Moto G 2015 to Marshmallow today. I found that notifications was slow to pull down (turned that off in developer options, ask if you you're curious) the other thing is that Apex launcher's app drawer now doesn't work correctly. It does in Holo Launcher HD and Nova, but Holo crashes...

Re: What do you NOT like about the Moto X Pure Edition? Download noled from madmack. This turns the main LCD into a notification LED by having a small colored dot appear (and it moves around every 1-2 seconds for "screen saving" and so you're more apt to notice it). It thus allows you to...

I ordered mine Sept 9th, a Wednesday, it shipped by Monday (I believe) and arrived by that Thursday, 8 days after order. Originally, it had suggested it would be 3 weeks.

How is its single strength, or its RF performance, in fringe areas? At home, my Moto E 2015 gives better performance than anything else I've used, and I expect the same of my Moto G 2015 2G RAM/16G storage I've ordered.

It does not, but I would say install "NoLED" from the Play store. You may be pleasantly surprised. It places tiny colored dots on the LCD which serve much the same function at a dedicated notification LED--letting you at a glance know you missed a call, email etc without having to wake up the...

I am getting the Moto G 2015 tomorrow at Moto Maker. I'll be getting the 2G RAM model. I am trying to get a case for it before it arrives, and I much prefer a hardshell case with a kickstand, and I want the kickstand to be VERTICAL. I absolutely cannot stand those kickstands that place the...

No I hadn't done that. I may, although at this point I've figured out enough to be OK for the moment. (This article helped a bit with the priority notifications aspect of things.) As much as I like this phone as 4.5" devices go, I'm ultimately going to want something in 5" or even 5.5" land, I'm...

I've had it for a couple of more days and can comment more on the 2 questions. If the phone "senses" you picking it up and turns on the clock and shows the padlock icon you can drag this icon down to get to the unlock screen (in my case, drawing a pattern) and you don't have to press the power...

I picked up a Moto E 2015 GoPhone, to use on my Cricket account, at Best Buy for $75 today. They didn't have a case, but as it turns out I had bought a Moto G (1st edition?) case sometime back, thinking I was going to buy a G (but didn't), and that case fit the E 2015 almost perfectly--so I'll...

Re: Moto E 2015 - can't copy/paste in Dialer Maybe replace it with exDialer, which I've used on other phones prior to the Moto E.

Also, another thing--an app called App Lock (Lock Master tools) {https://goo.gl/CDqCMq} I tried it out on another phone and it seems to allow you to lock out certain apps altogether. In this case it could be used to lock out settings (I tried it, it does so) to prevent someone from uninstalling...

Well, as usual, I've answered my own question--good thing, because it sure seems to take a long time to hear from anybody in here anymore. ANYWAY--I found out, by trying out software on a spare phone, that ADWLauncher has a password-protected desktop option. It wouldn't protect someone from...
