Update: if you have any questions on Android Lollipop, you may check our Android Lollipop guide page.
Motorola did a nice job again! After rolling out Android Lollipop 5.0 update to Moto G 2014 (2nd Gen) in November, Motorola started to roll out Lollipop update to the old Moto G (Moto G 1st Gen, aka, Moto G 2013) last week.
For dual-SIM Moto G 2013 and Moto G LTE, the Lollipop 5.0 update will come soon.
Now, Motorola is the only Android vendor who even beats Google to roll out Android updates.
Android Lollipop is a major update. Many new features are introduced, in addition to many improvements you will enjoy.
Even some seasoned Moto G or Android users may get confused on how to get the best from Android Lollipop, we are preparing some detailed tutorials to show you how to use the new features in Android Lollipop in Moto G.
Please check out Moto G how to guide page in coming days.
Before releasing these guides, let me first introduce you the top 5 new Android Lollipop features in Moto G and Moto G 2014 with the update.
1. Ambient display
One of the most prominent features of Moto X is the Active display (which was re-branded as Moto display later).
Ambient display, which is a new feature in Android Lollipop 5.0, works in a similar way.
Once ambient display is enabled, Moto G will wake up to display the notification as soon as it is picked up or new notifications arrive.
You can even use it to wake up the display by picking it up without pressing any buttons.
2. New notification system
The notification was revamped in Android Lollipop 5.0. You have full control on notifications now on Moto G with Android Lollipop update.
But it may be a bit complicated for some Android users. Some Mort G users may also get confused.
For example, for notifications you can choose sound (the old sound mode), none (turning off all notifications including alarms, more aggressive than old silent mode), and priority (new, you have full control over the notifications). You can even set a downtime if you are in campus.
3. Battery saver
Finally, Android gets its official battery saving mode in Lollipop 5.0. You can choose to turn it on only when battery level drops to certain value.
It can also predicate how long the battery can last before you have to charge it. Of course, a learning process for the system is needed to get more accurate predication.
4. Screen pinning
Another cool feature of Android Lollipop in Moto G is screen pinning.
You can pin an app to the screen and leave it to your kids. Your kids cannot exit the app easily (they need tap and hold the back button and multitask button simultaneously) to unpin it. You may also lend the phone to a stranger for an emergent call.
BTW, the recent button now is officially named as multitask button. You will get a card like apps used recently once tapped. It is very similar to Galaxy Note 4’s recent apps view.
5. Lollipop-flavored Flappy bird game
Every Android has some Easter eggs. For Android Lollipop on Moto G, of course, you get lollipops with various colors.
If you are a fan of Flappy bird game, now you can enjoy the Lollipop edition of Flappy bird in Moto G.
Of course, there are many other new features in Moto G Android Lollipop update. We will release a series of guides on how to use these new features on Moto G, Moto E and Moto X.
Have you got the Android Lollipop update on yous Moto G? What are your favorite Android Lollipop features?
Please let’s discuss in the comments below.

November 9, 2015 at 7:09 amThank you simon for your concern and resolving my last query.
I’m having what’s app installed on my phone and when my phone is on normal sound mode I’m sending messages I can’t hear that sound in same chat but the sound comes when other person sends. I’ve checked the settings of my what’s app volume is full everything’s going ok. Then also I don’t hear sound.
Please help ?thank you
simon says
November 9, 2015 at 11:56 amit could be due to WhatsApp itself on some devices. Some users with various devices reported similar problem before.
You can try to clear cache partition to see whether it helps.

November 9, 2015 at 2:26 amIs there any method to record the voice during the call in moto g2 android phone? Is there any trusted app which work on it?
simon says
November 9, 2015 at 6:32 amAndroid and almost all vendors don’t offer this feature because it’s illegal to record a phone call without consent from the other party in most regions. Most such apps don’t work on lollipop.

November 7, 2015 at 9:53 amWhenever a call comes on my phone I hear a magnetic sound interruption as we hear when we’re working on laptop and if our phone is about to get a call the same sound I get every time I attend calls. What problem is this? Even I’m not having any electronic devices around me. Then also the problem is same. Please tell 🙁
Anshika says
November 7, 2015 at 9:55 amI’m having moto g2 lte. I’ve got it on Wednesday. From the first call itself I’m experiencing this problem.

simon says
August 18, 2015 at 5:31 amIt’s probably due to some apps you installed. You may try it on safe mode (https://allaboutmotog.com/moto-g-how-to-guide/how-to-use-moto-g-safe-mode-applies-to-moto-x-and-moto-e-safe-mode-as-well/) .

August 13, 2015 at 10:12 amStatus bar is the top part of phone your screen. In old android, it’s opaque. Now it’s semi-transparent.
This is just an aesthetic aspect and not about function.

simon says
August 9, 2015 at 2:52 pmit is not for Moto G. it is actually for Chromecast on Nexus devices.
In Moto G 2nd gen, you need Chromecast app, then use screen cast feature. You may refer to this guide.

simon says
July 26, 2015 at 2:21 am1. Cast screen is for Chromecast, not other devices.
2. On Moto G, you need install Chromecast app to cast screen. The cast screen option in quick settings is for Nexus devices only.

July 14, 2015 at 5:46 amIt depends on the software your company uses. If it’s an Exchange server, you need add the Exchange account to the phone. Then you can sync with the server directly.
Sync through outlook on pc is obsolete.

May 21, 2015 at 6:33 amI have Moto G Gen 1 and the Network status is always in orange irrespective of 2G or 3G. If it is in orange, my internet is not accessible in any way…is it related to my phone or SIM ? I saw your previous comments that data transfer happens, but i don’t see any network connectivity at all, but displays the “E” or “H”. Help highly appreciated ! Rebooted multiple times, Hard reboot done, am i missing something ?
simon says
May 21, 2015 at 1:46 pmthe color differs from region to region. In Lollipop, it is white in most regions.
If you are using 2 SIM, you can try to test one at one time.
If you see E or H, it means you should have internet connection. If you still have no internet connection when you get the E a=or H icon, very likely, the APN (which can be got from the phone company) probably is not correct or internet connection is not enabled for your account.

May 7, 2015 at 11:52 pmMotorola does not offer reboot option or recovery option even in KitKat.
You can hold the power button (and ignore the on-screen options) until it reboots.
You can also power off, then power on.

April 21, 2015 at 11:11 amHow can i extend the gurantee of my moto g
simon says
April 21, 2015 at 12:53 pmI think Motorola only offers one-year warranty in most regions. Additional or extended warranty may be offered by some other local service providers. You need check with the local distributor.
But I don’t think it is worth the money. Moto G should be able to last 2 years for most users, and the extended warranty usually is very expensive (and with many limitations).

February 3, 2015 at 9:47 amMy Moto G (1st gen) updated with 5.0.2. Any idea whether the screen cast work with Chrome cast device?
simon says
February 3, 2015 at 10:09 amYes, it works. But you need install Chromecast app and start screen cast from Chromecast app. Actually this works since KitKat update.
The cast screen button in quick settings or in settings – display, is for Nexus devices,not for Moto G.

January 25, 2015 at 5:04 amIn this case, you need feedback to the app developer so that they can provide better Lollipop support.

January 9, 2015 at 4:16 pmDid any moto g2014 dual xt1068 get lollipop in any country or the single sim only get update
simon says
January 10, 2015 at 3:25 amI think the xt1063 and xt1064 got the Lollipop update first in last November. Not sure about the dual sim variants.
You can check the update in Settings–About phone — System updates, If you get “your software is up to data”, it means the Lollipop update is not ready for your model.

December 31, 2014 at 5:30 amI go to software update in my moto g but it shows that your software system is up to date but the lolipop version is not available in my moto g why?
simon says
December 31, 2014 at 12:28 pmIt depends on the model number. Lollipop update was rolled out to selected Moto G and Moto G 2nd Gen models only.
You have to wait. By the end of January 2014, the lollipop update should be available for most models.
