Lol this is old news brah π
Still waiting my Moto G 5G 2024 to have the "Allow OEM Unlocking" option to become un-greyed... it's currently day 2/7 I think?
(supposedly it takes 7 days after being connected to the internet, even tho I already got the unlock code... π€·ββοΈ)
Would you mind letting me know if it works out? Was thinking of getting a Moto G, I'm using an elderly Samsung and no way will I replace it with another Samsung.
YAYAYAYAY! π (Today is Day 6, didn't even need the full 7 days)
I feel like a Hacker right now.
Now I just need to flash Lineage.
Good luck, my friend. Moto G 2024 is only like $140 (on discount) right now. Do not get carrier versions, those don't unlock. Get the full retail price version. Its XT2417-1.
Great news! Congrats mate, and thanks for updating me.
I'm not sure if the same issues are present in the phone you guys are referring to but I had a terrible experience with a G35. More here https://samartean-rares.com/moto-g35-terrible-software-decent-hardware-117 . Idk use your own judgement ofc but perhaps be wary that what you buy won't be hot garbage. That G35 that I had truly was hot garbage, but it's an entry level phone I guess.
Thanks for the heads up. Yeah it's hard to know what's going to be a pile of shit. I had a good experience with a moto previously - but that was maybe ten years ago, a lot could have changed since then.
I'm looking for something mid range I guess, Β£500 max. I've always had cheaper phones and I'm tired of being frustrated with a device I use so much so I'm gonna spend a bit more on the next one.
Good luck. Can't really advise as i never had a phone that expensive but maybe consider one that is compatible with a more private OS like GrapheneOS.
My last phone was Moto G 5G and it got destroyed...
Did you drop it, or are you saying its motorola's fault?
So what happened is the dumbest thing ever. Yes it did have a small Crack on the screen... but that didn't do anything for months until it rained and then ONE drop landed on a spot that busted it. No joke. It seemed to return to life a long ass time later but the screen still died and is non functional.
I mean a "small crack" is a big deal tho. Even if it was a pixel, that "small crack" would've ruing the IP rating.
But unlike a $500 pixel, the Moto G 5G 2024 only $140 so you could just easily get a replacement.
Maybe I will buy another one once my current phone is paid off... which will be next summer!
