Ok so my phone arrived today but I had to send it back since I didn't have any cash at home(the ATMs being closed). The guy was nice enough to agree to come again tomorrow. So hoping to finally get it tomorrow.

6 glitches and bugs with the Moto G, and how to fix them

I think the rattling issue is quite weird and as far as the call quality goes, one review does mention that its a bit feeble

Went to various brick and mortar stores to inquire about Moto G today. their replies on asking when will Moto G arrive at the shop:
Shop 1: We don't keep motorola phones
Shop 2: Is it even launched in India?
Shop 3: Is it a touchscreen phone? (me: :facepalm: )
Shop 4: What is Motorola? We don't keep chinese phones here. (me: :rofl: :rofl: )
Shop 5: Buy a galaxy grand instead (me: :banghead: )
ROFL.....shop guys dont even know ...simply they say either its not released/ not present. :p.

Bro as I told you before too, use the phone for now and check whether there are any more problems with it or not. Don't visit the service center as they'll repair your phone. It's better to get a replacement from flipkart.

I see. Should have asked neighbour once :p

LOL as I said before, too much of an egoist to ask for money from someone. Anyways I got the cash today, called up the delivery boy, he said he'll be coming at around 4-5 PM.

@guys who are gaming on Moto G

How about the temperature? Does the phone heats up?
PS:Heavy games

I have been playing Real Racing 3, GT Racing 2, Street Fighter 4, Dead Trigger 2, Respawnables over the last 4 days. I haven't experienced any heating issues so far. But, I don't play more than 30 minutes on the trott. After I reached a certain level, Real Racing 3 keeps crashing. Before that level I played like 20-25 races and there was no problem. I don't know whether it's a problem with the app or the phone.

The only time my phone heated up was when I downloaded a lot of data continuously. Even then, it was not as bad as my previous phones.
 
Is this case good for this phone protection?

Or should i wait for official flip cover to come back in stock at flipkart which costs 1599/-.

And could anyone recommend me good power banks for moto g.

Thanks.

Any reason you say this?
The only reason being that AOSP targets only Qualcomm SoCs these days. So, for Qualcomm based phones you can get a lot of custom ROMs as good quality of drivers are written for them by the official Android project itself.

Whereas for Mediatek, the company i.e. the manufacturer needs to buckle up and push ROMs. Mediatek will provide drivers for their SoCs, but only to the manufacturers. They aren't open source friendly.

How is Moto G from development point of view?

I'm going to start off with Android development.

How is Moto G going to fare? Or should I go for a second hand Nexus 4?

@Ico If by Android development you mean app development then Moto G will work just fine since it has almost stock android, kitkat and also 720p screen res. I personally wouldn't go for a used phone.

So I finally got mine today(gotta stop saying "mine", it belongs to a friend :p ). Phone is very well built. My parents were highly impressed with it's design and thought it was better than their Samsung phones :p

Tested the call quality, it's ok. The camera seems working. Have put the device on charge. Am downloading the kitkat update right now. Will install it in some time.
