It’s finally time to bid adieu to the Moto X and say hello to the exciting new arrivals – the Motorola Razr and Razr+.

MotoXhub.com was established in 2013 following the launch of the Moto X. We are proud to have catered to over 1.1 million Moto X users, with a total of approximately 3 million page views. Despite Motorola discontinuing the Moto X series after the release of the Moto X4 in 2017, our website has diligently continued to support Moto X users over the past seven years.

Now, with fewer and fewer active Moto X devices, it is to move on with the possible successors of Moto X. Among current Motorola smartphones, only Motorola Razr deserves the consideration. Motorola Edge is just another Android phone.

So, MotoXHub.com will soon start to release how-to guides for Motorola Razr and Motorola Razr+. Welcome aboard, Motorola Razr and Motorola Razr+!

All existing guides for the Moto X will remain accessible without any changes. We will simply add guides for the Motorola Razr and Razr+.

The release of the Motorola Razr (2024) and Motorola Razr+ (2024) heralds an exciting era for those intrigued by the idea of flip/foldable phones. If you’ve been considering a standout phone from Motorola that embodies a “wow” factor, now might be the perfect time to explore these new offerings.

Get ready for some exciting new how-to guides for the Motorola Razr and Motorola Razr+ coming your way soon!… Continue to read....

The 4th generation of Moto X, Moto X4 (aka as Moto X 2017), was released in 2017, which is about two years after Moto X3 (Moto X 2015). The user guides in this page are for Moto X4 only.

If you are using a Moto X3 (Moto X 2015, including all variants: Moto X Play, Moto X Pure and Moto X Style), you may check this page.

You can find user manuals for Moto X2 (2nd Gen, Moto X 2014) here and Moto X (1st Gen, Moto X 2013) here.

Why do you need the official Moto X4 User manual?

Moto X4 was released two years after Moto X3 (Moto X 2015). So, there are many new features and improvements in Moto X4.

For example, Moto X4 was released with Android Nougat and had been updated to Android Oreo.  You can expect many new Android features compared to Moto X3 or Moto X2.

Moto X4 also features dual rear cameras, which are new in the Moto X product line.

Moto App was also updated with some new features in Moto X4.

To use your Moto X4 (including Moto X Android One edition) efficiently, you need the official Moto X4 User manual to get started.

List of the official Moto X4 User manual

All Moto X4 user manuals on this page are in PDF format. You are free to read them online, or download to your computer/Moto X4, then read or print them.

We tried our best to cover the official Moto X4 User manual in all languages.

If you cannot find the Moto X4 user guide in your language, you may check with us. We will try to add them if available.

If you have any questions on using Moto X4, you may post your questions in the comment box below. We will try to find the answer or solution for you.

This post will help you understand the new features in Android Marshmallow update for Moto X (Moto X 2014, Moto X Style and Moto X Pure edition).

For more guides on Android Marshmallow 6.0, please check this Android Marshmallow guide page.

1. Doze mode: you will get longer battery life for your Moto X

One of the noteworthy new features in Android Marshmallow update for Moto X is the new doze mode.

Doze mode helps to preserve the battery life of your Moto X automatically when it is not being used.

When your Moto X is stationary,  not charging and not in use for a long period of time, Doze mode shuts down unnecessary background processes automatically. This can increase the standby time of your Moto X substantially.

The better news is that Doze mode is enabled automatically and you need not do anything. It is a built-in feature of Android Marshmallow 6.

2. App standby: another battery saving feature for Moto X

When you exit from an app, the app actually may be still in memory so that you can quickly re-access it.  For some apps, you can even continue the previous session.

This makes your Android device very responsive and efficient without reloading the app. Android will decide whether the app is kept in memory or not based on the available resources.

But some buggy apps may cause battery drain if it is not fully “frozen”.

App standby in Android Marshmallow update for Moto X  will address this issue for such apps.

Android Marshmallow will put inactive apps into deep sleep state automatically. These apps will not be able to run any background processes before you explicitly open them.  After you exit from these apps, after a while, they will be put into … Continue to read....

The post What’s new in Android Marshmallow update for Moto X (Moto X 2015, Moto X 2014, Moto X Style and Moto X Pure edition)? appeared first on Moto X Owners Community.

As explained in this post, Moto X Pure edition and Moto X Style are twin brothers heading to different regions (US or international markets). Moto X Play is a scaled-down version Moto X Style.

Now, the question is what are the improvements and new features in Moto X 2015 vs Moto X 2014.

This post will try to answer the question of Moto X 2015 vs Moto X 2014  to help you decide whether you should upgrade to Moto X 2015 (Moto X 3rd gen) if you own a Moto X or Moto X 2014 (Moto X 2nd gen). The new features in Moto X 2015 were explained.

#1. micro SD card support: the most welcomed new features in Moto X 2015

Motorola finally changed mind on the stance on SD card support.

Moto X 2015 supports micro SD card up to 128GB. You can instantly expand additional 128GB storage at around $60 for your Moto X 2015.

Although SD card is not often used, a lot of smartphone owners still prefer some “backup” options. You may need it one day.

Some Android vendors are going the opposite (and surely wrong) direction. For example, Samsung removed the micro SD card support in Galaxy Note 5,  Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge+.  The weaker-than-expected sales of Galaxy S6 and Note 5 already make it clear that Samsung is wrong.

Some expert may argue:

• micro SD card is seldom used.  Samsung was misled by such experts. The survey may be legitimate. But the issue is that most owners think they may use it someday. Just like airbags in your car, you probably never use it. But if car manufacture removes it, will you still buy the car? Samsung now probably knows the answer.
• Performance of micro SD card

Some Moto X owners and potential Moto X buyers are confused about which Moto X is for them.

This post will try to explain to you the major differences of these 3 models of  Moto X 3rd Gen (Moto X 2015) to help you make a better decision.

For user manuals of Moto X Pure edition, Moto X Style and Moto X Play, please check this page.

Moto X Pure edition vs Moto X Style: twin brothers heading to different regions

The most confusing two products are Moto X Pure edition and Moto X Style.

The hardware specs for Moto X Pure edition and Moto X Style are almost identical.

The differences between Moto X Pure edition and Moto X Style include: software and availability.

Software

Both Moto X Pure edition and Moto X Style will come with Android Lollipop 5.1.

Moto X Pure edition will be a pure Motorola phone without any bloatware or customization from carriers.

This also implies Moto X Pure edition will work on all carriers, and most other regions when you travel abroad as well.

Moto X Style, however, will be tailored for different regions and carriers. Some LTE bands and some features may be disabled in some regions, and therefore Moto X Style may not work well (mainly 4G and a few carrier specific features) in other regions.

Please note, “pure edition” does NOT mean Moto X Pure edition is running stock Android like Nexus phone. “Pure edition” simply means pure Motorola software, and there is no carrier customization.  Of course, Motorola software is very close to stock Android.  There are a few Moto apps pre-installed, for example, Motorola Assist, Motorola Alert, Motorola camera, and Motorola Gallery.

If you are currently an owner of Moto X or Moto X 2nd Gen,  you will get similar Moto  experience.

Recent Google app update broke some features in Motorola Assist. Specifically, after Moto Assist asks you to say listen, it does not response to any voice input and the phone may make noises itself. This guide is specific for this issue before Motorola updates the Motorola Assist app.  If you have other issues with Motorola Assist, please  discuss them here.

This guide works for Moto X, Moto X 2nd Gen (Moto X 2014), Moto G, Moto G 2nd Gen (Moto G 2014) and Moto E, because they share the identical Motorola Assist app.

What are the symptoms of this Motorola Assist not reading message issue?

The issue is caused by the recent update of Google App on January 12, 2015. This update breaks the messaging voice interaction feature in Motorola Assist when in driving or home mode.

The symptoms of this Motorola Assist not reading message issue include:

1. Motorola Assist can switch to Driving mode (Driving Assist) and Home mode (Home Assist) correctly.
2. Incoming messages and calls are announced properly.
3. Incoming calls are not affected. You can say Answer or Ignore to pick up the phone or hang up the phone.
4. You get noise after it asks you to “say listen” or “say send text”.  It does not respond to your voice command. Basically, you cannot listen message or reply text messages in home and driving modes.
5. The version of Google App in your phone is 4.1.24.1672412.arm.

Please note, the issue is caused by Google app. But probably Motorola has to fix the issue in the Motorola Assist app.

Before Motorola releases the update for Motorola Assist, you can only solve the issue by uninstalling updates for Google app.

If you are a heavy user of Google Now, this fix probably is not for you because Google add … Continue to read....

The post Moto X 2nd Gen User Manual (Moto X 2014 User Manual) appeared first on Moto X Owners Community.

Some Moto X owners are curious about what’s new in the new Moto X (Moto X 2nd generation).  This post will give you the answer.

First, the official name of the new Moto X is Moto X 2nd generation (Moto X 2nd Gen), not Moto X+1 as rumored. Of course, many may just call it Moto X 2014.

Let’s check the comparison of Moto X 2nd generation vs Moto X 1st generation.

1. Cheaper: Moto X 2nd generation vs Moto X 1st generation

One of the biggest mistake preventing Moto X (1st Gen.) to get the deserved  popularity is the stupid pricing strategy  for the old Moto X in last year.

Although almost all potential buyers are excited with the unique features in Moto X 1st generation:  touchless control (now it is re-branded as Moto Voice), Motorola Assist, Active Display and possible customization (through Moto Maker), they did not become a Moto X owner due to the wrong pricing strategy as analysed in this post: Why Moto X failed to save Motorola?

Moto X 1st generation was  packed with middle-range hardware (with best software). The pricing Motorola asked is that for the smartphones with top-notch hardware.

For the new Moto X (Moto X 2nd generation), Motorola apparently corrects this mistake. The most advanced  and high quality hardware, with the best (arguable) Android experience, is asking for a cheaper price!

The contract-free, unlocked  2nd generation Moto X (Moto X Pure edition) starts from $499. This is one of the most affordable flagship phones in 2014.

2. Faster: Moto X 2nd generation vs Moto X 1st generation

The new Moto X (Moto X 2nd generation) got a big update in processor and graphics. It is at least  3 times faster than 1st generation Moto X.

The second generation of Moto X is  equipped with Quad-core 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (which has 3 times raw processing  power than Snapdragon … Continue to read....

T-Mobile and Sprint customers should get the Moto X KitKat 4.4.3 update already. Others will get it soon.

Moto X KitKat 4.4.3 update is mainly on  bug fixes and framework update. So, you probably will not notice any difference after the update.

Actually, there are few notable features or improvement you should try in this Moto X KitKat 4.4.3 update.

Motorola Alert

Motorola Alert is an extremely useful emergency alert app that lets you quickly alert people important to you when you need them.  It was initially released as an exclusive app for Moto E. Now it works with Moot X and Moto G as well.

Motorola Alert is also an location reminding app. The Follow Me and Meet Me modes are useful in notifying your whereabouts to your loved ones.

For more detail on the usage of Motorola Alert, please read this detailed guide: http://motoeguide.com/motorola-alert-guide/

Pause the video recording

One feature missed in Moot X camera app is the pause button. When recording a video with Moto X, you had no way to pause the recording. You had to stop it and started a new video if you actually just wanted to pause the recording for  a few seconds.  This made the user interface of the camera app very simple and clean.

But omitting the pause button irritated some Moto X owners. A lot of users are not sure how to combine a few videos into one, although it is trivial for nerds.

In this Moto X KitKat 4.4.3 update, Motorola brings back this pause button for video recording.

Improved camera

Moto X has a quite fast camera. Although the image quality is not outstanding, the photos are usually acceptable with all default settings. In other words, you get decent pictures without fiddling around the camera settings and options.

In this Moto X KitKat 4.4.3 update, Motorola mainly addressed 3 reported issues:

• Unrealistic color when flash is used. Sometimes, the photos was taken as if some filters were applied on the lens. In this update, you will get more realistic colors
