When will Motorola fix Moto G signal drop issue for Indian customers

By now its clearly evident that almost all the pieces sold by Motorola in India were defective pieces, with signal drop, call drop, 3G issues etc and the list goes on. Good thing, there is a fix to the Moto G issue (?). Read the below release by Motorola.

"We have uncovered an activation problem with some Moto G devices sold in India. If you have unboxed your Moto G and are having network connectivity problems this applies to you. 

The problem: IMEI numbers are 15-digit unique codes that help cellular networks identify valid phones. If your new Moto G s IMEI number begins with 3533 your phone is incapable of connecting to the network right now because of a programming error on our part. It may take several days before your phone will connect to the network. You can find your IMEI number listed on the box or behind the back cover. At this stage, our understanding is that this only affects the 16GB version of Moto G.
 How we are fixing it: We are working around the clock with our network partners to ensure your device is listed properly in their system. Because of the complex process to activate, your device could begin working as early as Tuesday or it may take a few days after that for your specific device to begin working properly. 

If you are impacted, we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to you. We let you down and are working around the clock to fix this issue. 

If you do not want to wait a couple of days for the phone to be activated, you can exchange it for an operational unit or return it for a full refund with Flipkart, no questions asked. Your replacement request will be processed after a week. 

On behalf of Motorola, please accept our deepest apologies. We are passionate about making people happy with our products and we will work tirelessly to gain back your trust."

Let's hope for the best!

How to deal with 'No SIM card detected' issue due to invalid IMEI on your Micromax Canvas HD smartphone

Are you having issues with your smartphone not being able to detect the Sim card? Are you facing a network issue on your smartphone? Do you get a 'No sim card installed' error on your phone? Here is an easy way to re-engineer your Micromax Canvas HD smartphone to solve the issue.

So this is what you have to do

This usually happens when your phone gives you a 'Wrong IMEI' message. If that happens, follow these instructions.

1. Check if the IMEI is intact - Go to your dial pad and dial *#06#. Once you dial it, the IMEI number should automatically show up. If that doesn't happen, follow these steps.
2. You have to punch in a few command lines. So you have to switch your Micromax Canvas HD into 'engineer mode'. Here is how you do it - Go to dial pad and type - * # * # 3646633 # * # *
3. Now you are in the MTK engineer mode
4. Go to connectivity tab
5. Under that, go to CDS Info (Common data service)
6. Now click on that and you will see a bunch of option
7. Select Radio Information
8. Click on Phone 1
9. What you would be seeing is 'Unknown' or 'Invalid IMEI'
10. Now what you need to do is enter your IMEI no - Click on AT+ on the top and type these AT+EGMR=1,7,"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX".....  Here "XX.....X" is your IMEI number. Type it (make sure its in quotes). Now click send.
11. After successfully sending the message restart your phone.
12. Continue with the same process for Phone 2.
13. Now your IMEI will be registered!

Hope this solves your issue!
