Announced herehttp://androidcommunity.com/motorola-schedules-a-press-event-on-february-25-at-mwc-2014-20140205/ I'm just hoping it's the successor for the Moto x. What do you guys think? It coincides with the announcement of the new galaxy.

Highly doubt a successor so early but won't complain if they do. Higher res and snapdragon 800 with bigger battery won't hurt.

My guess is something in the "wearables" department... smart watch? Pendant? Eye wear?

It could be
A) An explanation of the direction Motorola will be going with their brand [Very likely]
or
B) Based on the image with the towels, they will announce patterns as a new way to customize your Moto X. Did you want a floral pattern for your back cover? Well.....come Feb 25, YOU CAN! (Not very likely......or maybe :silly
Well,they just got bought by Lenovo... it's normal a press conference to tell public the company perspectives...
hope they didnt change too much on Moto x lines
i mean that will always have fast update,motorola logo,exclusive apps and awesome design
A new watch would be nice. Still waiting for someone to release the must have watch.
I'd rather they announce further support for the Moto X and introduce new features. Some reassurance the design philosophies of the Moto X won't be abandoned for rejoining the spec wars. The guy above me who suggested a higher resolution should be ashamed of himself.

Yes I suspect its this as well.
The deal probably isn't completely finalized yet; i mean this just happened like a week ago. How did they already figure what they gonna do with Motorola. I am not a business person but it just seems kinda too early for that kind of event. My guess would be that they ll talk little bit about lenovo and then announce some new product. Hopefully Moto x 2

Most companies know what they intend to do with an acquisition long before it's final. I agree that it will be a meeting discussing the direction of the company. However it might also be used to unveil future products
MotoX GSM Developer Edition, Bootloader Unlocked, Rooted, Stock 4.4.2 Great Britain on T-Mobile !

The pipeline for motorola gas already been finalized for 2014 and almost complete for 2015. It will be a while before we see any Lenovo influence on hardware. Software however may be a different story

I hope it's not the next generation moto x. I just ordered mine yesterday and always like to have the latest version of my hardware. That being said I highly doubt it's a next gen phone. I agree with the above - it's probably to discuss the direction of the company.

So with the second gen moto G and X starting to get lollipop, how much longer do you guys think untill we start seeing our soak tests?
Is the Verizon Moto X and G getting the update or just the gsm version? If the Verizon Moto X is getting it, then it shouldn't too much longer for us. maybe a few weeks I would guess.
Nope just unlocked gsm versions. I'm thinking January if moto keeps with their quick updates like last year.

Let's hope xposed will be compatible with ART by then. Who knows, maybe a Lollipop based AOSP ROM will be released before Verizon's. Either way, not in a big hurry since my phone is pretty much running all Lollipop Gapps. The only thing not updated is the dialer.

droid maxx will probably get the update in about a week or two...werent the 2013 droids the first to get 4.4.4? even before nexus if i remember right...
either way im really loving an improved battery and LTE on T-mobile on my droid maxx after the su5 23.3.24 update
My guess is that the 2013 Droids won't see Lollipop until 2015. Motorola will want to update the 2014 Moto X, the 2014 Moto G, and the 2013 Moto X, maybe the 2013 Moto G and E, and Verizon will want to update the Turbo, before both get around to the Ultra/Maxx/Mini. The 2012 Droids (Razr M and Razr HD series) got a KitKat update in May. Hopefully the update will get to the 2013 Droids before next May, but I think we still have to wait for those other phones to be updated first.
In depth review of Lollipop: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/11/android-5-0-lollipop-thoroughly-reviewed/
Based on Nexus reviews(6) Lollipop has integrated Google Now with hot word detection so the Moto Assist app will be obsolete. It also means much quicker operation without the extra app handing off data to Google Now.

At the expense of more battery drain. I think I'll stick with touchless controls/Moto Voice and its use of the low power processor. (The assist app announces text messages and voice calls while you're driving, so I think you mean Moto Voice...)

May not be so soon according to this. If I understand correctly that the Droid Ultra/Maxx has the same processor as the 2013 Moto X but someone correct me if I am wrong on that.
On the downside, Motorola tweeted via its official support Twitter account about the status of the Moto X (2013) Lollipop update, suggesting that it was still some way off.

@ac2k9 Moto X (1st Gen) will get L, but chipset requires more effort. We're working to deliver satisfactory experience, performance.

Or "If" it is... Seriously, at this point I am hoping that they do make us wait till 5.1.. With the reports of fixes and improvements, it will be worth it...
Here is my theory why: Our phones are reaching the outer edges of carrier,OEM and Google support. If we get 5.0, 5.01 or 5.02,,, we may not see another update beyond that. We could be stuck with whatever they give us for good. I am checking like everyone else for the update, but aside from my own personal desire for instant gratification, I believe we may be better off to not get it with a shot at 5.1...
This is very difficult for me since this is the first Android device I have had with no unlocked bootloader or root. But the phone still rocks pretty hard.

Seriously, it's not coming until after the Droid Turbo, and almost certainly after the 2013 moto x on Verizon. Neither phone is even in a soak test right now.
Last year the 2012 Droids got KitKat in may. I'd say that's the earliest the Maxx gets Lollipop this year.

September 9, 2015
Android Lollipop's latest software version 5.1.1 is confirmed coming very soon to Motorola devices, including DROID Turbo, DROID Maxx, DROID Ultra, DROID Mini, and Moto Maxx. The final Lollipop update will bring new features, enhancements and security patches.
Motorola already reported previously a series of rollout schedules revealing which devices will get first the Lollipop update. As reported, there are a total of 17 smartphones Motorola is considering to update with the new Android Lollipop software, including DROID Turbo, DROID Maxx, DROID Ultra, DROID Mini, & Moto Maxx.
Aside from these devices, Motorola also considers 2014 Moto E, 2013 Moto E, 2014 Moto E with 4G LTE, 2015 Moto X, 2014 Moto X, Moto X Pro, 2013 Moto G, and 2014 Moto G. Soon to be released Moto X Style and Moto X Play are expected to run on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box.
The final Lollipop update will bring changes and bug fixes such as an improved Material design, supports for Android Pay, USB-Type, and fingerprint sensor. It will also feature new device switch, device sync and some other enhancements.
In Motorola's support page, a news report underscored that beginning August 10 security patches for the Stagefright threat were released and take on with the devices' software before 5.1.1 Lollipop even releases. However, other bug fixes will also be released for the upcoming update.
The final version of Lollipop will bring improvements in icons, home launcher, Material Design, and power management.
Changing icon size in home launcher settings is enabled.
Pressing up and down volume bars will bring the graphic up. Tapping the button on the right expands the volume menu.
Tapping the icon on the left side twice silences the phone.
New icons for the settings menu.
To check the update, just head over to Settings > About phone > System update > Check for updates.
DROID Turbo, DROID Maxx, DROID Ultra, DROID Mini, & Moto Maxx units under major mobile carriers AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and US Cellular currently run the Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
I hope you're right, but deep down I think is just wishful thinking

I'm sure it'll happen, but for those of us with locked devices it means (more than likely based on past history) that if we do upgrade to Lollipop we'll never be able to downgrade back to KitKat and honestly I find KitKat to be nearly perfect for my particular methods of using my smartphone. It's fast, lean, it gets the job done, obviously mine is rooted nowadays and I have some stuff tweaked out with Gravity Box that makes it a pleasure to use unlike so many other smartphones out there and even ones that I've owned and liked.
It's good enough as it is, at least for me.

I'm running exodus rom 5.1.1 and it kicks stock kk ass. Very smooth the only thing I miss is the ability to use touchless control when screen is off. But it's not a deal breaker.
sent from "my kungfu is stronger then yours" XT1080
Yeah, touchless control is cool but I only go, "OK Google Now" to mess with it. Never actually had a time where I used it for anything meaningful. I hope it wasn't the touchless control that held up the official release of LP.
These people on the website posts these thing but they don't even know were they go the info from. If this were the case he would post the announcer of whos stating this info.But I believe it !!! can't wait either and will the update brick our phones if we are rooted?? Will we have to use SU app to full unroot ? Don't know what to do when it's here ?

Okay, I was quick to dismiss this too until I saw this: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/09/12/moto-x-lollipop-1st-gen-verizon/
Aren't the internals of the first gen Moto X and the Droids nearly identical?

I'm running VZW 5.1.1 on my Moto X DE and I like it. Can't wait for them to release it for the Maxx. I rooted the phone long enough to modify build.prop to turn off tether provisioning and then unrooted so I can get Android Pay working. The wave to wake is not working though unfortunately.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Correction to the above post, it is LP 5.1 not 5.1.1, got so used to typing that running the Exodus ROM on the Maxx, just flowed right out. Anyway, the Moto X has been running great with it, battery drain doesn't seem to be any worse than KitKat but I'm quickly getting bored of the Moto X. This puppy is going back to being the backup phone. Motorola neutered LP, can't find Smart Lock anywhere, the wave over sensor to wake is not there. The positive is Moto app, voice control, etc. Will revisit again when it comes to the Maxx but for now, I rather play with the Maxx running Exodus than the Moto X running VZW LP 5.1.

So finally vzw moto x got lollipop update
What other devices are remaining for lollipop..
I think driod 2013 series will be last in the list.
I have a hypothetical question, maybe this question has been asked already for another phone but:
Is it possible to flash all the contents on a moto X force onto a Turbo 2? For example, is it possible to essentially clone a Moto X Force into the body of a turbo 2.
I am assuming root may be needed but that is another matter.
Since they are identical I would say yes. I remember topsnake ported a stock kk build from the moto x 2013 for our maxx and you used rsd to flash it. Those phones were almost identical almost. The force and turbo 2 are identical from what I have read.
Sent from my XT1585 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i had this same theory for the original turbo and the us cdma Moto Maxx. (xt1254 and xt1250 respectively). doesnt work because of checks. maybe those models are different. fxz fails bc bootloader checks model prior to flash. hopefully, those models are not as locked down.
Yeah they would have to be ported but it is possible. But no you can't just flash it.
Sent from my XT1585 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
its possible but not now, if droid turbo 2 had unlocked bootloader you could flash the moto x force firmware, but still cellular wont work.
so, not useful.
Debloating the stock rom should be easier but you still have no root.
Thanks! It was just a hypothetical question that I thought about after reading that the two phones are nearly identical.. and the differences between the two are pretty much superficial. Looking forward to buying the moto x force
The cellular would probably work for me since I am living in Canada.

Hi! maybe this is a "young" phone. But i come from a Galaxy Note 3 and the community was superb.

The Droid Turbo 2 hasn't been rooted therefore there's no kernels or roms. The X-force is rootable but no devs have picked up working on it.

We should start a bounty for buying a device for one developer that commits to the device. Just saying.
I would try to learn a thing or two about creating roms and that. I develop apps, but i suppose that is quite different.
What is the point of creating ROMs or Kernels when there is no way to use them? Figure out how to unlock the phone first, and stop putting the cart before the horse.

The non rooted phone is the Verizone version. But there's not a dedicated forum to the Moto X force (kinzie).
It's rooted, nothing more unless I missed something. Hard to use a custom kernel or ROM if all you have is root, so my point remains accurate.

The X-force has an unlocked bootloader and root, it just needs someone to start developing for it. There's already an unofficial CM rom build thread going for it.
This forum really should break the Droid Turbo 2 and X-Force into different sub forums to stop confusion. They have the LG G2 broken down by the carrier, I don't see what the issue is with doing something similar for this model.

Yeah, well people complained about that in the Quark forum for MONTHS. Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx and Moto Turbo The Verizon Droid Turbo was locked down and those owners were jealous of all the dev work going on with the unlocked bootloader version. Just like here. We had TWRP, official CM (with improved Ambient Display with IR sensors response), Mokee ROM, Nexus Experience ROM.
They finally got the fourms split in September 2015, and guess what? Droid Turbo bootloader unlocked via Sunshine November 2015. Now, they all have to go over to the Moto Maxx forum for their dev fix. More Droid Turbo owners posting in the Moto Maxx forum than Moto Maxx owners. Yeah, the kernels and ROMs work on all Quarks.
I don't think jealously is a problem, it just confuses people.

I think most devs correctly identify which device their recovery/ROM/kernel works with in the op post. If people don't even read post #1 of a thread, their own fault.
Even just casually glancing through this forum, people are identifying which Kinzie they have, Moto X Force or Droid Turbo 2. I don't see an issue.
In the Quark forum it was problematic when people insisted on just saying "Turbo". Uh, WHICH Turbo? The Moto TURBO XT1225 or Droid TURBO XT1254?
With Moto X Force/Droid Turbo 2, you don't have that to worry about.
