Can I root moto g without unlocking the bootloader? An application needs the permission of root, and I dont want to void any warranty, and wipe out any data. Any possibility of doing that?

Is towel root safe guys? If yes

Try towel root,it's a 1 click root

 

[theserpent]

Nope. If any app needs root permissions, you must root the device by unlocking the bootloader

How is the build quality of both the variants? Can they handle falls? My S2 was great in this regard.

 

[amjath]

S2 is well built to take brutal falls. Display is well protected by sides and face down will also have no impact on the display. Recent device doesn't enclose this well

Great news ... BTW how did you get to know this??

 

[coderunknown]

reports are it'll be a soak test. if so update will get delayed by 2-3 days. but as Moto G in US has already received the update, it can very likely be the final rom.

Moto G 2013 ... phone works fine.. but lot of phone call disconnections... even with full network. Anyone else facing this issue?

Moto G 2nd Gen looks cheap, buttons seem uneven with body.

Happened to me too.
Nothing wrong with phone, the higher harmonic content in the output causes some AC current in the system. Due to this the capacitive touch stops working perfectly

That happened to my phone too (Defy), and that also happens with my dad's Micromax charger. I will never again use the charging points in the trains or a non Moto charger for my Defy.
I recommend you buy a powerbank if you travel a lot.
