It always checks for drivers and is unable to find it
But It works fine with windows 7

Received mine today..but to be honest I am a bit disappointed :(

Major cons for me...
1. Weird blue
glow around the edge of the screen. Cannot notice it on other backgrounds except white.
2. Mass storage not working with my old Samsung(galaxy pop) data cable, even though the storage mounts I can't copy anything to SD card (I am using win8.1)
3. Not possible to charge via USB cable
4. USB tethering not working.
5. Phone gets little hot while charging (not too much)
6. On box it says 1150mA battery inside:confused:
7. Problem with back cover.

2,3 & 4 are regarding USB cable I guess..can anyone confirm all above things working with different USB cable ?

What do you guys think should I ask for a replacement? I am really concerned about the screen.

2+3 : sometimes, it does charge via USB, else, it just ignores the USB, not even MTP.
4 : didn't try yet, will do now.
6: its the charging current of the charger (see the units (its mA).

Hi guys,

I needed a smartphone for gps navigation and daily tasks and my choice was between the MOTO G and MOTO E.

I did a price comparison between moto g and moto e and the former was costing me Around 15000 Rs for 16 GB model with flip cover. On the other hand Moto E was costing me close to 8000 Rs with 16 Gb memory card + flip cover. So, the total difference of cost was almost double instead of 50$ (3000Rs) as in the US markets.

So i figured that moto e is much better value for money than Moto g in at least the Indian market and ordered one today. Got 250 discount from flipkart and total cost was 6750 for moto E + 500 Rs for 16 Gb class 10 transcend memory card.

What is your opinion on this purchase. Did i do the right thing or should have gotten the Moto G or waited for the Google event later this month to see what new devices will be releasing?

^^ well you bought Moto E. No use speculating what you could have done. Moto G maybe double the price, but it certainly is worth it if you could afford.

^^ Well i wanted to save 7k so i could invest them in moto 360 or a nice casio watch. Is there any reason to believe that a moto 360 would not work as well with a moto E rather than a G?
Could you please tell me if the class 10 transcend 16 gb card will be compatible or not?

What is the best cover that can be bought for a moto E and where can i get it?

Well, I see no reason why Moto 360 won't work with Moto E.
Also, Sandisk class 10 16 GB card should work with the phone. Don't see any reason why *any* card for that matter won't be compatible with the phone.

Local shops stock cases and covers at as low a price as Rs 100. I got one from Moto E. A soft back cover turquoise in color. And its way better than spending upwards of Rs 500 for covers from online shops such as FK.

disable mobile data, wifi, bluetooth, GPS (major battery drain) etc when not in use, uninstall battery doctor, install greenify.

PS: those battery saver apps don't always work.

And one more thing is my mob takes around 2-3 hours to charge fully..

Greenify is auto optimizer app that tweaks your battery to extreme stats studying your daily usage pattern!

It's best app for battery management on non-rooted phones!

It's because of the charger provided!
My phone charges in 1 hour If I place it on Moto X charger!
