Well, one thing that's not so good is that if you use a widget to turn data on/off, it won't work anymore.

Thanks for the info. This feature pretty much kill my plan to upgrade. I use widgets to control both wifi and data, and I wish the airplane mode widget work on my un-rooted moto g kitkat. Too bad :(

You can turn data off in the quick toggle.

After the Lollipop update, I can't seem to get TWRP or CWM working. They both give me errors when trying to access the data partition.

Isn't this a couple of screens in? I want a toggle on the main page.

Use two fingers to pull down the quick settings from the status bar.

* HELP Needed *

Using 1st generation Moto G (unlocked) on Telus. Upgraded to Lollipop 5.1 last month. After the upgrade, I am not getting email notification from Yahoo Mail anymore which worked well before the upgrade (Lollipop 5.0). Whatsapp notification/messages have a much longer delayed than before (if the notification ever come). Updated Yahoo Mail app to the latest version and it does not make a difference.

Any suggestion? Thank you in advance.

totally unrelated to motoG, but my uncle/aunt (seniors who are computer illiterate) who was using a lenovo tablet also suddenly couldn't get email notification from yahoo email 2 weeks ago. after playing around with the tablet i couldnt find a solution and i told them to just wait it out and perhaps a app version update may fix it. then a few days later they told me the email notifications came back like magic

so maybe wait it out and make sure your apps are properly updated?

Is there anywhere that you guys know of that is really easy to compare phone models (flagship, sub-models, etc.), release dates and performance at the same time?
For example, I'll go on gsmarena but I look up Motorola and I see all their phones and perhaps I can sort by release date, I have no concept of relative performance unless I click on each one.

What I would be trying to determine for example is - Is the Moto X (2nd gen., 2014) better than the Moto X Play (2015). Which one is flagship, versus sub-model. There are just way too many phone models and sub-variants with similar names... I just can't tell what's what anymore. Granted I don't follow phone releases at all, but while looking for a new phone (once in a blue), I just feel - hmmm, let's see - f-ing dumb lol These phone models don't follow alphabetical or chronological naming regimes. Moto has an E, G, X line. Whats worst, better, best in terms of performance? Why an X Play, X Style, X Whatevertheufck? lol

Before you jump on me that this is a forum for Moto G owners, believe me I have been looking at this phone as well. But figured there is enough phone-smarts (see what I did there? lol) here to light the way for me. Any clue for me?
