    1. Thank you for feedback. I'll correct when I'll be at home.

      You can lock the bootloader but it's rather a safety tool for the user. You need to request the code to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately at this moment your warranty is permanently void.

      However, some poeple sent their phones after unlocking and re-locking the bootloader and their warranty was accepted. It all depends on the service. I know many people who sent rooted/custom romed phones here in Poland and for most of them there was no problem at all...

  9. I am using Moto-G and I have updated the device to the latest OS 5.0.2 last month. Now, when I am using another app like FB or Whatsapp, I can't answer the call. It rings and when I try to accept the call, nothing happens. I mean to say, neither I can accept the call nor I can dismiss it. the touch function doesn't work! This is worrysome. I have to close all the apps and wait for the caller to call me back. This is really annoying.
    Can anyone please help me? Thanks in advance.
