Is the Moto X '13 good value at 18k?
I hear it should get Android L.

Or should I wait till January '15 for better phones <20k to be launched.
I shall be keeping the phone for a year.

Need to decide soon.

Yes it will be getting the Android L update. I think it's good VFM for 18k and all tech reviewers were raving about it last year! Maybe it doesn't have ground breaking specs but real life performance is supposed to be really snappy! I'm shifting to the moto X from my galaxy S5 which I'm super bored of.

And still no clue about the adapter. IIRC I had watched an unboxing video a few months back where only the handset and a USB cable came out of the box.

A friend of mine has Moto X and it blows the S5, HTC One M7/M8, Note 3 out of the water when it comes to day to day operations. Camera is also ok after the Kitkat update. At nightshots it was better than both iPhone 5 and Note 3. The phone comes with USB Cable, Dual USB slot Charger and Headphones.

Guys, help please :(

I have a Mi3 running the stock Android 4.4.2, MIUI v5 (pardon me if I have written it wrong, not a technical person. To put it in other words, it is running on the stock Android with MIUI which the Mi3 comes with, I haven't made any changes to it).

Since few days I have been facing this problem of my alarm not working. It just doesn't ring at the specified time. Have been over sleeping because of this. Luckily, didn't have any important meetings/appointments that I missed cuz of this. But its quite irritating and need to solve it for future.

What I have tried -

1. Clearing the clock from the cache by pressing the menu button. (quick clean)
2. Letting the clock stay in the cache i.e. not clearing it from the cache.

Still, nothing is working. Can you'll please tell me what can I do?

Is resetting the phone to factory settings an option? If yes, then if I take a local backup of the phone and hard reset it will the backup file be also deleted? Or the backup file won't be deleted and everything else will be deleted and the phone reset to factory settings?

Thank You All.

This is a common android bug present even on my Nexus 4 and was present on my RedMi 1S.

For every new alarm, go to select ringtone and assign some ringtone. this needs to be done only once. After that it will ring as usual.

yes, resetting will be the way to go. Suggest, you back up your contacts onto gmail. Msg back up can be done with many free apps on playstore. Data should be transferred to a SD card or to a pc.

That should resolve the issue. However, you need to be careful with backing up data (specially SMS and call logs, since that is not backed up be default).

Another tactical solution could be installation of a different Alarm app. Can you give that a try?

I have the Moto X and it came with a dual usb adapter. From the description on the flipkart page, it looks like a batch of Moto X's were imported without the charging adapter for the flash sale. The usb cable will be present, but the charging adapter won't.

That was the very 1st solution I tried. Works fine. But I didn't quite like the idea of using an app for a simple thing like an alarm. Hence I uninstalled it.

1 more problem with using a 3rd party app is, if I mistakenly clear that app from the cache then the alarm won't go off. While, the benefit of using the stock alarm is that even if the "clock" is cleared from the cache the alarm mechanism doesn't get affected, it will work.

BTW, the solution given by SunnyBoi worked perfectly fine for me.

I recently updated my Note3 with some Samsung's update.

After the update the only change I can notice is that the name of "GPS" has now changed to "Location".

However, earlier even with the GPS turned off, Google Now used to give me traffic updates and location related cards. Now it is forcing me to turn on Location else it does not give me any cards.

Also, after the update, I get an error every time I switch on mu phone, which says "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.location has stopped".

Any solution to the above?

i recommend 3rd party alarms over the OEM IMHO. curious why you need to bother with cache clearing etc. for alarms! I am not aware of such a need.

i use alarm clock xtreme with some loud fire alarm sirens. works like a charm. it has stubborn mode by making one solve a number of complex math problems - stuff that definitely makes me wake up and not absent mindedly turn it off as i do with other phones / apps!

No changes, I gifted a Moto E to my dad and he has only one SIM and no issues using it as any other normal single SIM phone.

If you do insert the 2nd SIM, you can still preset which SIM to use for primary and which as secondary.

Yesterday evening, Flipkart automatically added a Mi3 into my cart and sent me an email to make the payment if I wanted a phone. My colleague wanted one and We ordered it for him today morning.

Then I came to know that Mi3 is added to the cart automatically to people who had failed to procure one even after registering for all the previous sales. I had done that to buy it for my cousin.

When everyone had venting anger on flipkart on their BIG BILLION DAY, we had something good to write about

I have the Mi3 too and the alarm is working fine on my phone. Do check if any apps are conflicting with the alarm or if you have more than one alarm set up causing a conflict.

I was surprised to see the mail too but since I already have the phone, I ignored the email.
