Don't forget the other odd part, sprint appears to have dropped the nexus 5 from their lineup too. So you can actually get neither the Moto X or an nexus 5 right now.

Ok. Is it possible that instead of two Moto X models that Sprint will only carry the Pure Edition Moto X? Personally, I like what I have read so far about it. Could yhe model gound on the FCC site be that phone?

No this is not the pure edition. If another CCA carrier is going to sell it though there is no reason it wouldn't work on sprint.... Unless it is black listed.

Can you confirm Punit Soni was the one that made that statement. Didn't he leave Motorola?

 

Yup, that little badge means he's verified.

Why carriers carry or not carry phones has a lot to do with their portfolio, requirements and how OEMs slot into them.

Judging by his pic, did he leave Motorola to serve Daddy Warbucks?

So just a FYI, Motorola and Sprint have confirmed that their will be no Sprint model.

 

 

Given the crappy review by anandtech and the growing "next nexus" rumors, I guess it makes sense.

 

Why buy this for $500 when you could be the next nexus for much less and better specs/no carrier bloat.

It actually makes sense not to buy the $500 model but to be honest I prefer the Moto X over the current Nexus 5..

 

I love stock android and my previous phone have been Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and skipped the Nexus 5 for the Moto X, quality of the phone, how it feels in the hand, quality of audio in calls and videos exceed and beat the Nexus 5 in my opinion.

You are comparing two completely different phones.

 

Given that the next nexus is widely rumored to be made by Moto, why are you comparing it against teh nexus 5?

Because the Nexus 5 is the current phone. Still unsure about the new nexus so cant compare to something that is not in the market yet. Based on my ownership of the phones I had. I can see the pros and cons about the nexus phones against the Moto X 2013

Actually I find the comparison interesting.  I was looking at the new Moto X the other day as I am getting a little impatient waiting on the rumored new one.  As I was going through the specs though, I kept saying same, same, same.  So in reality it seemed the only thing the new Moto X was giving me as fancy colors and engraving.  I think it is a nice phone but the specs seemed so similar it was not worth paying for an upgrade at the moment.  Now had I not had the Nexus 5 yet, I might get the Moto X over it.

I guess comparison varies on what kind of use you give to the phone. Some might use it for gaming, others for taking pictures, other for work related stuff or just as a way to communicate with others socially. So opinions will vary.... 

 

Customization is just an value add for the customer.

It is interesting that Motorola would go out of its way to make it difficult for Sprint and T-Mobile. I mean lets be honest now that Sprint is getting its challenger groove back, and T-Mobile shows no signs of slowing down, why would Motorola cede badly needed ground to Samsung/HTC/Apple? I mean the Pure Edition even has caveats for T-Mobile as it lacks Band 12 LTE.

 

That being said it will be interested to see what the Nexus X has to offer us. I am really hoping they put a better battery than the Nexus 5, I was using a HTC One M8 and could actually forget to charge that, versus the 3+ times a day for my Nexus.

Pure Edition bands cover Sprint's network? Wish someone would say why, i understand exclusives yet Sprint sold #1. Guess looking forward to seeing if the pure edition will work on Sprint and to see the next Nexus. I like the customizing option though.

No the Pure Edition is a GSM only phone. It has the following band support for LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17, 29) All Sprint's and T-Mobile's lower A block 700MHz (Band 12) are missing. Do you have a article that says Sprint sold the highest number of Moto X's?

Specs are pretty much the same but just having android stock its the reason why I wanted a Moto X.

I agree, the moto ui would be better, but at $200 vs $575 or whatever I'll just root and use xposed mods. Especially when the $200 option has the bigger battery

Actually funny story, my friend lost his Galaxy Nexus while in Vegas, we went to the store and decided to go with the LG2 because of the bigger battery after looking at the Moto X . He used the phone during the weekend and on Monday saw him again with the Moto X. I asked what happened,  stated that he preferred Stock and that he didn't like any of the mods available for the LG2. 

 

After that I upgraded my Gnex to the Moto X

So is Sprint going to get the 2nd Gen of the Moto X?? 

 

All indications are NO at this point. Maybe a similar device, but Motorola and Sprint are saying no in regards to the Moto X

      Well you officially fried my brain. Many of these topics are well beyond my very rudimentary amateur knowledge.. this has my head spinning even more than usual. When someone figures it out, just let me know what I need to do with the app! 😂

      Confusingly, there are two different types of Cell IDs, the NR Cell ID (NCI) and the Local Cell ID, which I will call the LCID from here on out. From my understanding, @Trip is trying to get the LCID from the NCI but the same gNB is showing up for multiple sites in the app. Some background for those that don’t know about NCIs (NR Cell ID) and how they relate to gNBs and LCIDs. Just like the E/GCI which is comprised of the eNB + LCID with the eNB denoting the site, the NCI is comprised of the gNB + LCID with the gNB denoting the site. A major difference is that the eNB is a fixed number of bits in the E/GCI but the gNB can vary between 22-32 bits (out of 36) in the NCI and there is nothing transmitted which tells you what the length is. The reason for the mentioning LTE sites is that Verizon’s gNB numbering scheme in most of the USA is based upon the sites eNB (using the rules I mentioned) and a 22-bit gNB. Additionally, their LCIDs start at 25 and increment by compinations of 16 and 1. Basically, it is common to see LCID sets of 25/26/27, 41/42/43, and 57/58/59. Looking at Trip’s data and some other data from the area, they are not following the format used in the rest of the USA.  From what I can tell, they are using a 29-bit or 30-bit gNB (that gives LCIDs that follow Verizon’s standard patterning). 29-bit shares the same gNB across the two locations, while 30-bit splits the two sets: 18504107674 - gNB 144563341 + CLID 26 (29-bit) or 289126682 + CLID 26 (30-bit) 18504107690 - gNB 144563341 + CLID 42 (29-bit) or 289126682 + CLID 42 (30-bit)  18504107691 - gNB 144563341 + CLID 43 (29-bit) or 289126682 + CLID 43 (30-bit)  18504107706 - gNB 144563341 + CLID 58 (29-bit) or 289126682 + CLID 58 (30-bit)  18504107707 - gNB 144563341 + CLID 59 (29-bit) or 289126682 + CLID 59 (30-bit) 18504107738 - gNB 144563341 + CLID 90 (29-bit) or 289126683 + CLID 26 (30-bit)  18504107739 - gNB 144563341 + CLID 91 (29-bit) or 289126683 + CLID 27 (30-bit)  If true, this is a problem for SignalCheck and other mapping apps because this means they are using at least two different gNB lengths depending on the location in the USA.

      Yeah I can confirm that the status bar is updating correctly and as often as the main app!  Great to have that back after so long. Waiting on the app to pick up the 5G data.  I'm on AT&T and I find that it only reports the 5G signal data a fraction of the time.  Once I can get it to pop back up I'll send a report with the LTE RSRP showing up in the status bar instead of the NR RSRP. I am not sure if it is new behavior with the Beta because I had it set to just show the Band since I couldn't display the band and signal at the same time. Edit:  Sent a diagnostic and here's a screenshot:

      Yes, for various reasons the beta mapping project was limited to S4GRU sponsors at launch. It's still a work in progress but I have added a few users as it has evolved. I am inclined to leave it as-is for now -- it's not completely off-limits to discuss here (especially if there's an outage), but with so many posts I just try to keep discussions organized. RAvirani handles the map server and he monitors the other thread closer.   I might be confused, but are we talking apples and oranges here? My interpretation was Trip is talking about NR cells on different sites sharing cell IDs as far as the app is concerned, while the other comments are about LTE to NR cell ID calculations?

      I hope this is true!! The Android development team did claim this bug was fixed several months ago, and it is typical for it to take several releases before changes are included. I was on the Android beta until I got my Pixel 9, now I am back on the public releases. With each monthly update, I have optimistically checked this icon and been disappointed. This would be fantastic to get back!   Could you send some diagnostic reports when you see this please? It is new behavior with QPR Beta 3?
