[Q] How long does AT&T hold exclusive for Moto X? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As title, does anyone know how long is AT&T holding the exclusive Moto maker this time? I was planning to order for t-mobile and got blocked off by it
can't really wait much longer on the phone almost tempted just go to back to the 2013 model instead......

You can only do that for 16gb but not 32 as of now

I know MotoMaker goes live for Verizon on Friday. Maybe T-Mobile sometime soon.

the pure version is the tmobile. it sounds like they are still out of the 32g. try a white face with 32gb option. and then go back to black. that was working a few days ago. to answer the question... there was no exclusive for at&t at all. the tmo/pure edition was available from the start and verizon is always the last to get their version in, it is cdma.

A little of topic but I wanted to pick up a screen protector today and Verizon said the phone doesn't exist, AT&T (my service provider) said they don't carry it. Best Buy was like "what?" and Radio Shack said they only have accessories for newer phones. I don't think there's an exclusion on it.

You could get 32 last week. They are sold out for now... must be too popular. As with the first-gen X, there is no T-mo specific model, jsust unlocked (why would you want anything else?). I'm holding out a few weeks - hopefully news of the new Nexus will give me another option.

still no luck as of today, I guess it's just out of stock for now.
Stopped by AT&T store today to check out the actual phone and they said they are not getting it in yet either. Wonder how long this thing get hold off from the market

The Verizon model goes on sale at motomaker tomorrow, so go hog wild!

As of today you can now order the Moto X (2014) Pure edition with 32Gb of storage.

N7 3G No Longer Unlocked?

Currently the Google Play Store is listing the Nexus 7 3G with a AT&T Logo...

Does this mean the N7 w/ 3G will be locked to AT&T, and not available as an Unlocked Device? I certainly hope not!
Okay, Scratched that... Contacted Google Device Support (Actually Got an Intelligent Person this time) and they informed that it will be unlocked, and AT&T is only listed to let buyers know AT&T Service can be used on the Device. (and he hinted at a possible AT&T Data Only plan for the N7)

Scared me too...
but with my experience with Google Support is they are often wrong...
YOu can't even select it now. For me it takes me to a page where it says, "The page doesn't exist on this server" or something.
Remove the _att from the end of the link.
strangely enough the canadian version of those pages don't have that issue. In canada (and likely UK and so on too) it's still the old "unlocked" thing in the selection and it works like it used to with the american before the change.
It is available for sale yet? Neither _att or without it works with a purchase link .
The links are fixed now, but they're out of stock I think.

They haven't started selling yet, so it's not really OOS. Also, I've seen them change the links twice now. It's still slightly broken (ie: if you click on AT&T then 3G again, it gives you an error message about not available in your country).
Any second now.....and it should go on sale......hopefully....
---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
In stock now in the usa!!!!
It looks like they already sold out, I managed to get in an order of the Nexus 7 w/ the ATT Sim Card, but the device said 'unlocked'. The strange thing is, if you're on the page where it gives the description of the Nexus 7 3G + ATT Sim Page, if you scroll down, you'll see a 3rd Card that lists "Nexus 7 + WIFI + HSPA" w/o the ATT Logo and if you click that one I see that it's "Not available in your country"...

Black Sprint One coming in 64GB version only?

Just saw this thread in the international One forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242334
Apparently a Sprint store employee mentioned that the black One would only be available as a 64GB model once AT&T's exclusive runs out. Has anyone else heard anything about this?
Yes I heard the same thing from best buy yesterday

im a sprint rep and i can confirm that your information is false.
yes their is a back order yes att does have exclusivity on the 64gb version
sprint is only getting 32gb versions black and silver. i know this because on the 9th i was invited to a HTC event where only 40 reps in the phoenix metro area were asked to go and we got full info straight from HTC. That is also where i received my HTC ONE a week and a half prior to release.
dont get me wrong i would love a 64gb version but 64 is the att exclusive just not the color.

Just guessing that once att exclusivity ends others will get a 64gb. They must have given HTC incentives to be the only one.

AT&T UCU2AOA1 4.4.4 Fail!

UCU2AOA1 4.4.4 Fail!
First off Android 4.4.4 has been out since June of 2014 (thanks for the speedy update AT&T) wouldn't you think this would have been an update that fixes any previous issues and possibly improved upon? 8 Months later... UCU2AOA1 4.4.4
The camera does not make an audible noise and does not turn green anymore when in focus.
The gallery app has text overflowing if the album has long characters.
App drawer lags every time you scroll a page.
*Bloatware*
Mail - ATT Mail
AT&T Live
Uber
Remote Support GTFO out of my phone!
Also have a look at your application manager under all, you will see a lot of new things that were never there before and it's not just for the Android 4.4.4 update. Be sure to check out the one that looks like a white pacman ghost (Sorry forgot the name of it) NSA?
487MB of pure garbage!
Thanks AT&T for more bloatware and bugs when Lollipop has been out since November 2014 .

I'm so sick of this crap that this is the last subsidised phone I'll bother with. Sadly, AT&Ts network is the best for me as far as service goes. There's no point in taking their phones, though. The meager savings are not worth the hassle.
I can't change from Dalvik to ART now. Anyone else have this issue?

fwiw, if you didn't buy one outright before, you probably ended paying more than full retail for it over the lifetime of a 2 yr contract. probably.
and yes, locked BL is a PITA for those who want to play. it's nothing new though, and att apparently has a history.

I think it should be illegal, they are infringing on owners of their phones. Not to their software and at their will. I made the sad sad mistake of picking up an unlocked att s5 and I'm on T-Mobile service since att phones work and I had an s3 running on 5.0.2 for months and loved it so I got this phone with intentions of running a custom ROM because that is what android is all about and after purchasing the hardware I should legally be able to use any software I'd like, not the previous service provider. Does that sound unreasonable?
Depends on the agreement made when buying the phone. Its all very on the second hand market because I'm not sure what the original contract states ... I would not be surprised to find very restrictive verbiage in the AT&T contract, whether enforceable or not.
The true solution is to look to the vendors selling open devices from the beginning and stay with them. Unfortunately this will almost always rule out true leading hardware devices as the prime carriers will lock them up.

[Q] Are there any KitKat ROMs for the Nexus 6?

It seems a bunch of Tasker commands are not working in Lollipop and I really need to get them working on a Nexus 6. It's a phone for a blind person and I need to be able do things like allow them to touch the screen anywhere to answer, wave their hand over the phone to answer, answer by voice command, etc... but that seems impossible on 5.0+

nexus 6 was released with lollipop. so, officially, no. i know for a fact that the nexus 6 was tested with kitkat, but those builds havent gotten out(code i mean).
Dang. Not good news. Is the only other phone that can use "Ok Google" with screen turned off and the phone not charging the Moto X?
I'm sure there are pre-5.0 roms for the Moto X so I might have to get rid of the Nexus and go that route. I hope the Verizon version isn't all locked down like most VZW phones.

Droid Turbo (verizon) or Moto Maxx (south america) are 4.4 devices, essentially the same as Nexus 6, just 0.8 inches smaller.

With an entirely different board, kernel and drivers. It is not going to be as simple as flashing a rom from them if the idea comes to mind.

It is.
All Verizon phones are very much locked down sans for the N6 or the occasional dev edition device.

Flashing stuff for Nexus 6 won't do any good if the intention is to stick with 4.4.
Also, just because the board is physically a different shape does not mean that it is *WIRED* particularly differently. It is mostly EXACTLY the same.

I just picked up my galaxy s6 active, but I plan to use it with tmobile. From what I saw, it takes band 4 lte, which is tmo, so all I would need are the apn settings and I should be good to go.
Now I am very impatiently waiting for my unlock code from Theunlockingcompany.com
I'll report how it goes here.
Will ATT not unlock in store? I thought they would if you pay full price.

Can you unlock if it's under contract or on payment plan? If so let me know where, thanks!
You can unlock any GSM phone regardless of if it is under any contract or not.
There are plenty of online services that give you unlock codes based on your imei
Tried one on eBay, came back as "this device is active on another user's account" which apparently means it's under contract. Bought phone on swappa so must've been an upgrade.
BTW, this is exactly how I did it. Still waiting on my unlock code though.

Holy crap! You got a $700 brand new phone on CL for $450? Wonder why the person didn't return phone for refund instead since it's only been out since last Friday officially? Was seller an at&t employee or something?
Yep... the guy had 3 of them
I'm eyeing this phone for use on T-mobile - does it have full LTE support (including band 12) on T-mobile?

So how would you be getting future firmware updates? Would you be able to get it OTA when AT&T release it for the S6 Active, or do you need to wait for it to be uploaded somewhere so you can download and install?

1. Odin flash the update
2. I am counting on root and custom recovery being available at some point.
3. I believe I can still get an Ota even if I have a different carrier Sim in their via wifi.

A question: for the Limited Warranty sheet, does it say that the warranty covers all of North America, or just the States? Trying to figure out if I'll lose the warranty for bringing the phone to Canada
