Did anyone bother to read the linked announcement?

He said the Moto G was rolling out that day, and it did. That was a little more specific.

Somebody here posted a few weeks ago that he heard the Lollipop update would be coming late January. Sounds like that might be true

I hope so. LG G2 in Korea is already receiving Lollipop. Galaxy S5 in Europe as well. Probably Sony will deliver this month.
This is my first motorola phone and I bought it hoping updates would be nexus-like. I'm kind of disappointed.

That's not the main reason I bought the phone. But it was definitely one of the reasons. Looking at the droids of last year and how fast they were updated on Verizon to KitKat I expected the same. but the initial launch of Kit Kat had a lot less bugs than the initial launch of lollipop. And FYI.. The s5 update is based on 5.0 not 5.2. Which is strange.

Why would it be strange? Samsung based their OTA on the version available when they started working on it. 5.0.2 wasn't available until quite a bit later.

But 5.0.2 only in nexus, and motorola said will fix bugs in Lollipop base, so i think for motorola devices this is greatt

As did htc but there lastest version is 5.0.2

I'm thinking that the Turbo will lag somewhat behind the Maxx due to the further burden of Verizons in house testing and validation. I wouldn't think too long since the Droid is minimal in its carrier bloat but I would be surprised to see the two released at the same time. It should be remembered that this is a Moto employee and he is talking about Moto devices, not Verizon devices. The latter will come out only after Verizons own testing which is another layer on top of what exists on the Maxx, Moto X, Moto G, etc.

That is because they can't just restart OTA development every time a new build is released.
And no, HTC used 5.0.1.

Yeah, I saw that later. PocketNow originally said it was 5.0.2. But the point was, even if it's 5.0.1 the release dates are almost identical between the s5 and the M8. I guess HTC is faster at getting a build together? Or because TouchWiz is so heavily modified.
Looking at all the other oems, touchwiz, sence, lg.. They all look like the ui was just slapped on to lollipop with out adjusting the ui to reflect material design. They all look out of place and unimpressive. Which is probably why I have a droid turbo and not an s5 lol

I think a lot has to do with Samsung having such an enormous beast of an overlay, it really slows things. Lollipop also requires for everything to be compatible with ART, which means more work on the OEM's end (we can see how that can be an issue with the Turbo even now).
Then you also must account for the fact that Samsung is probably splitting resources amongst more devices to update. HTC just has a couple.
Lastly, from my rom dev days, I can honestly say that HTC has better developers than Samsung.

Motorola said to me, will comes soon, in final testing already

Lollipop

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.
sent from "my kungfu is stronger then yours" XT1080
verizon probably needs some time to prepare the bloatwares
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.

What happened to the soak test?

The droid turbo soak test was weeks ago.. Why aren't the rest of us getting an update of some kind. I don't care if it's a patch or 5.0, can someone just tell me why there hasn't been an update for the masses yet?

I received the surveymonky email on Jan 28th., but what I think happened was they were originally gonna soak test 5.0 or 5.0.2 and then when google release 5.1 they changed their minds to just release 5.1 as the first lollipop update to the turbo. I could be wrong but it does seem like something changed, because normally there isn't this much of a gap between surveymonkey email and actual soak.
It got delayed. They ran into a few things last week, whether its bugs or VZ approval. Should see it later this week or early next week.

I am in the Droid Turbo soak test personally. Let me say this, we know just as much as you do. A Motorola engineer recently made a post that they were facing delays and that he could not provide any further details. But they were working as hard as they could to bring us a release. For this delay, I REALLY hope it's Android 5.1. Otherwise, my image of Motorola's speed will be tarnished. Practically every flagship now is currently/has already gotten the update to Lollipop.

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. One of the reasons I bought this phone was due to Motorola's timely software updates. Besides a few moto software tricks there's really nothing different. I know some people will say "don't buy a phone for what it might do," or "We want a stable build with no bugs." Seeing as most of their flagship phones and even budget phones are on 5.0 or higher, I'm disappointed. I get that Verizon has a big role in this but the Droid lineup seems to always to be in good favor with Verizon, but this is starting to get frustrating.

Thanks! I had no idea that the soak was delayed. I thought they had delivered it to people and for some reason it was not getting pushed out to the rest of us. I am all for giving motorola time to squash all the bugs they need to, but I feel like they could be a little a bit more transparent.
If Motorola is trying to push 5.1, and anyone working there is reading this, thank you! I cannot imagine how frustrating it must be a developer at Motorola right now. This company has changed hands multiple times since the 18 month development cycle of this phone (thanks to Verizon's rules). These devs have likely been working day and night to produce a stable build of lillipop for Motorola's flagships devices, all while Google employees, formerly co-workers of these Motorola developers, have simultaneously been doing the same for the base lollipop build with significantly better resources at their disposal and without a time crunch. Just as these Motorola devs have made 5.0 stable 5.1 comes along fixing many of the issues that delayed 5.0 on our devices to begin with. Much of Motorola's dev work and code is thrown out in favor of using what Google provided in 5.1 and now these poor devs still have to work to make 5.1 work knowing that with each passing day every user is getting more frustrated with you.
THANK YOU DEVS, we appreciate you, and we understand. Be proud of the work you do, like those of you that worked on the original DROID, who felt confident enough to mold MOTOROLA ENGINEERING into the plastic under the batter cover. I hope to see the fruits of your labor soon.

Android 5.1 for Moto E

Among the few chosen flagship smartphones to receive it first was the Motorola devices. While these seem like great ideas, the catch is that the devices might be the first ones to be affected by bugs and other issues. Hopefully, we'll have less of that this time.
Android users are curious if the same courtesy will be extended to Motorola series this year with the subtly-launched, Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Here's the latest Android 5.1 Moto G, Moto X, Moto E Release Date and Features.
AndroidOne was the first to reveal that Google already unveiled and unleashed the Android 5.1 Lollipop. While media outlets have initially suggested that it will only be available to Asian markets, since the service-based corporation has been planning to expand in that area, others don't have to worry because the update will arrive very soon.
And it looks like the newest OS has started to surface in Moto G now. According to Master Herald, a leaked image online revealed the device to be running on the Android 5.1 Lollipop.
With a build number, LXY22E dated on February 2, Google has fulfilled its tradition of launching it to Motorola first- on Moto G, Moto X, Moto E- first ahead of other manufacturers; except for Google Nexus 6.
What can you expect from the upgrade? A feature that will make a triumphant resurrection is the silent version of the smartphones, which was removed with the Android 5.0 Lollipop. Aside from that, a boost in the behavior of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, a better RAM for optimized memory, and greater battery performance are to arrive with the latest software.
Android 5.1 Lollipop is expected to roll out on an end of February release date for other smartphones.

Fingers crossed.
I think I'll just wait for the AOSP build from Alberto97.
Same here Buddy @moralesnery
The good news is that Google released the Nexus Android 6.0 images. The bad is that the AOSP isn't updated

some days will pass before wee see the release of the 6.0 code to AOSP.
Bad news, Motorola support page says this about the Moto G (2013)
MOTO G
This device will remain on Android 5.1 (Lollipop)
Do you have the latest Motorola software? Find out.
Shock horror, 2 year old hardware no longer getting updated... Long live custom ROMs.
Having owned a Desire HD and a Sensation which got only one major version upgrade, I'd say the 2013 G had a great run.

It's funny that the 2014 G is exactly the same hardware apart from the camera module and bigger screen (yet same resolution), and is getting the M update.
But yeah, there has to be a cutoff point somewhere even if it's the same product after all. 4.3 -> 4.4.2 -> 4.4.4 -> 5.0.2 -> 5.1, not bad at all! Alberto's AOSP will be excellent as usual.
Oh, well.
We can always count on a great dev to treat us crack-flashers and root junkies with some custom-ROM love.
Thanks XDA DEVs!
I dont think falcon will get it.

It seems that it will keep its outstanding status for quite some time as the entire Moto G series, including the 2013 releases, is reported eligible for an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update.

it this speech even come from Moto IT speak-person?
Don't believe anything unless you see it published in an Official Motorola account (G+,Twitter, Fb) or a serious tech Blog (or here in the news section).
Dont play with my heart
it is sad it wont get official 6.0 since android one phones will get it, also moto e, moto g 2014, etc
it is not about specs, it it just about age
but yes, compared to samsung, and other motorola did a good job, not perfect
i believe nexus 4 should get it too
Hey there Moto G Users! I'll be doing a custom Rom for the Moto G using Marshmallow and Lollipop... MarshPop is what it's going to be called... It maybe released as soon as I work all the bugs out of it... Expect it in the near future though! Since Marshmallow is basically Lollipop with Added features I maybe able to work all the issues out!
Cheers to all of the Developers! P.S. I've worked on the Transform Ultra from Samsung!
Thanks for Participation in reading!

Will Moto X style/pure get Android N update?

I do hardly believe that Moto X style/pure might get N but there is no official news about it...
I tweeted Moto_Us and Moto_India but got same reply that
"We currently have no info.. For more info kindly stay updated"
Even Moto/Lenovo didnt make any announcement..
Whats going on?
Anyone has ideas what the truth is??
no problem ..custom roms here :laugh::fingers-crossed:

guarenteed will not be a problem. lol. gotta love the devs out there crankin roms and ports out. #unlockedbootloader
Voted no only because I'm doubtful we'll get it officially, but as the other people have said... custom roms bro.
I think it will get 7.0 by the end of the year. It got 6.0 pretty fast, and is still pretty much the flagship of Motorola. People just lost hope because of the ignored 6.0.1 update. I'm hoping to switch back to a Nexus anyway so I don't have to worry about updates anymore.

Being one of the few devices on official android site I think means we're getting 7.0 pretty soon

That site has been mentioned before... It has nothing to do with Nougat, just Android in general. The fact it appears there is not relevant.

But is it still a flagship with the new Moto Z's coming out? Way things have gone with Lenovo I'd not put money on it BUT never say never.
Well, if they abandon any real support for this phone in one year, I won't be coming back to Lenovo/Motorola. I'll just have to decide if expandable memory is still a deal maker/breaker with the next gen and go Nexus or something else.

Agreed!
Android 7 will be there!!!
With X-Style there aren't any technical/hardware issue or even a minor reason for not supporting the Android 7. So with this the liability of providing or not providing Android 7 will be with Motorola (Lenovo). Providing with Latest Android version being a USP of Moto phones, there is very chance that they will not risk reputation with this phone by excluding the update.
In-case this is not done for some reason then my steps would be:
1) Root and install Android 7 rom.
2) Buy a new Nexus phone.
3) Collect Invoice of all my Moto phone (Namely: Moto G (8gb), Moto G (16gb), Moto E (4gb), Moto G3, Moto G Turbo, Moto X Style).
4) Submit the collected Invoice plus the nexus invoice to Motorola with update as why they lost a loyal customer.
*Infact I was planing this for the delayed patch, and made my disappointment by tweeting the same to motorola. Were they assured me of early notification of update.*
[rant] motorola sucks/how to kill a perfectly good device
Motorola/Lenovo service has been horrible both in replacing defective hardware and with software updates even though they committed to timely release! They will probably at some point release Nougat on this device but really how long will it take (see where we are with MM updates!!) ? And as far as custom roms are concerned we're seeing so little developper activity for this device that I think everyone has already moved on! This was my first non-Nexus device in a long while and I'm not eager to duplicate the experience. It's really too bad as I really liked the Moto X pure. :crying:
Ffs these threads need to stop. Yes the Moto x pure 2015 will get 7. IT WILL TAKE TIME release of n is rolling out give it a few months

The ZTE Axon 7 looks a lot like the X Pure, except with software support. They announced that they will be assisting Cyanogenmod.
