Motorola Moto G 8GB £99 at Tesco BACK IN STOCK!!

scroogeni

Tried the new "Tortoise Ultra" branded moto g flip cover case from that popular supermarket - neat fit, magnet turns screen on/off with opening, but magnet seems not strong enough to even try to hold lid closed (says in blurb it should)!!!either faulty or poor design...anyone else the same experience??:mad::mad:

Edit: I read you can USB extra storage too but for £30 I went for the bigger option.

Still waiting for the 16GB to come back in stock but could you tell me more about how to expand storage using USB? Storage is a big issue for me...

Storage is a big issue for me...

how about something like this, rather than usb cables ...

LINK 1 uses SD cards for flexibility

Can get similar but including an HDD
LINK 2

Still waiting for the 16GB to come back in stock

worth checking in stores - found 1 in first store I went to

I just bought a 16gb micro flash drive (because I really don't need anything bigger though there is the 32gb and a USB 2.0 to Micro connector to plug straight into the phone (I don't want any long cables or extra bulk), which I understand should work fine.

Although on that Meenova page I read this
(of course thats a function of the phone, not Meenova so applies to all external memory via USB )

"* Note on Moto G: read-only access; root is required to write to USB storage."

Not a problem if just using as extra music or video capacity which you pre-load from the PC - but might be important for some

Will be interesting to try it when it turns up how the Moto G has been restricted some how?

Out of curiosity I just plugged a USB stick into my unrooted Samsung Note 2 running Kitkat (4.3) via an OTG cable and was able to read and write to it no problem.

Which cable did you order, be sure the USB 2.0 end is female to plug the drive into not male. USB female to micro male are often called OTG (on-the-go) cables.

I have a Moto G and a Samsung GS3 so will be handy for both.
