Moto E discussion thread

Not much. WhatsApp, Hangout, flipkart, amazon, mx player, you tube and a photo editor. That is all. Obviously slick enough for the given low number of apps.
Just to test I downloaded Asphalt 6, took 15+ seconds to load, but did not lag to run. Planned to try asphalt 8 this weekend.

I wont be playing games. Running Chrome, Soundcloud, Reddit, Whatsapp + 2 apps should be smooth? Approx amount of free RAM?

moto e sar value is way high, does it allow to install app on sd card, is there any custom mod for it,

it's 1.8 minimum sar value set by government... keep distance from device when not in use, and use headphones for longer calls...

That was the 3G version with Snapdragon 200. The 4G version with Snapdragon 400 was selling for 7999.

Most of the time there is roughly 500MB free RAM (my device is mostly idle).

Tried Asphalt 8, runs great. Some slight stutter for notifications. Other wise no issues, no heat. Guess 960x540 is no load for the 410/306.

Is tempered glass protector recommended for Motot G (2nd Gen) ?

 

[Skyh3ck]

That was the 3G version with Snapdragon 200. The 4G version with Snapdragon 400 was selling for 7999.

stilll not worth that much money, considering that there are some great phone available for almost same price and better spec

 

[amit.tiger12]

^ any news for lollipop update on moto e 1st gen?

 

[Manju.s]

Till now no update of lollipop version..

 

[Minion]

Why you guys are waiting for official update just flash a custom rom. Now I am on lollipop 5.1.1. moto sucks after they has been acquired by Lenovo.

 

[$hadow]

Yeah flash a custom rom coz you are not going to loose a lot.

Moto E is the greatest phone ever made. It beats out even the Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6

 

[Skud]

To each his own, its the shittiest phone I have ever used. Right from the display, camera... everything.

And now they are moving slower than Samsung to deliver the latest OS.

 

[Minion]

^Dude its a old phone now what more you can expect.

 

[Skud]

Mine still have some warranty left and never was very happy with it. Far more disappointed with Android itself to be frank.

Root it and flash custom rom to become far more happy with android.

Don't think it can overcome some fundamental problems of the OS and its particular implementation in this model. Moving away to Windows Phone feels so liberating.
