Motorola has been killing it with updates for the past year. As soon as a new version of Android would come out, Motorola would soon start rolling it out to its Moto X and even Moto G devices. It was incredibly quick, even beating out the Nexus 4 once. However, the new line of Motorola products has been announced and it has come with a lot of new features not available in the old.
Luckily, Motorola will be keeping to its awesome reputation and bringing a lot of the new software features to the old devices.

That is most definitely a good thing. I'm still most likely going to be getting the new moto eventually though. Must this moto x is by far the vest phone I have used to date.

Early 2015 Android L for Moto X.
Two months.. :/
Android 5.0 L Eligible And Ineligible Smartphones: Motorola, Samsung Galaxy And Sony Xperia

Until 2015.......
Motorola have been pretty good about providing timely updates, even beating out some Nexus devices. Punit Soni himself confirmed the 2013 X will get Android L, so there's that. However, with the 2014 X out now, it could get pushed back. I think January 2015 is a solid target month to expect the 2013 X to get updated.
I wouldn't be surprised of Motorola decides to just cancel the update they've done it before with the photon 4g

Even if we do get L, it would take long time
I doubt it will take anywhere near that long, that sounds more like a timeline for heavily skinned device. The moto x is pretty barebones with only a few apps so i'd say it'll be a relatively quick update. I'd guess mid November with mid December being the latest.
It’s Official: Android 5.0 Lollipop Coming to Moto X, Moto G, Moto E and More
Keeping in mind that Motorola made the brand new Nexus 6, I am pretty sure it must be an easy task to push L very soon to all its devices. But this was the same with the previous update. Moto promised that they will push the 4.4.4 update very soon but they took quite some time due to carrier issues and quite a few other stuff to all its devices.
I just hope we all also get the L soon so that we can lick our LOLLIPOPs :victory:
It shouldn't be long for us, remember how fast the update for 4.4 came
I'm pretty sure 5.0 will be fast to port and release. After all, Moto probably got 5.0 before anyone else due to the Nexus 6. I wouldn't be amused if it's almost done for Moto X 2014.

Android Lollipop features
I've been following Android Police's covering of all the Android Lollipop Dev Preview (which is basically as close to the finished OS as you can get before the final release) features. It seems that the Nexus 6 (and also Android 5.0) will be coming with an always listening feature for hotword detection of "OK Google" and something akin to Moto Display called "Ambient screen". It seems that Google is really utilizing those patents it acquired from Motorola before selling it to Lenovo. I would love to try these features out! Maybe someone will make a basic ROM of 5.0 (here's to hoping!)... At any rate it seems more and more that the Moto X 2013 was really a beta test of some of Google's 5.0 features. Can't wait for the official release!!!

No, they're still owned by Google. Lenovo still hopes to have their acquisition of Motorola Mobility close by end of 2014. It's taking longer than many expected, but it's not done just yet.

How is possible that Moto G 2nd generation have lollipop before that moto x 2013?????
I've lost all hope for a lollipop upgrade for my Maxx, but saw this today:
Source: http://www.vcpost.com/articles/8958...rola-droid-turbo-maxx-ultra.htm#ixzz3lMb8jQg9
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 with you on that. Plus, I plan to pick up a Moto X Pure in the coming weeks or so, so don't really care anymore.

make sure those OTA updates are turned off. :laugh: i mean, just until the bugs get worked out.
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 ?
I already have my pure and the Maxx is now my backup device.

Hate to say this, but the article is fake.
1) All major carriers?! T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T?!!! They didn't release any Droids; only Verizon had that lineup.
2) If us XT1060 users didn't get 5.1.1 YET, how the **** would you guys get it.
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.

Since the internals of the Moto G 2014 is very similar to the Moto G 2013, I am hoping that they might roll out 6.0 to our devices also.
Fingers crossed.

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

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.
Sent from my XT1572 using Tapatalk
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!

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!

So, last year we didn't really succeed to reach the goal of the petition to Motorola to upgrade our phones to Nougat.
This year, I believe that Moto will see this request and make an Official Oreo for the Moto G³/Turbo Edition.
Please sign this petition: http://chn.ge/2xT6skv
It may seem hopeless by now, but the hope dies last. A Christmas miracle may occur!

That just seems to be the case. But don't be that negative. Let's be honest - we won't lose anything if we at least try. It won't matter for me, personally, if Moto decides to not update the phone. But it's important for the other users. Some of them may be tech-savy but just don't want to risk damaging their device. Others may just want a stock variant of a ROM available in XDA. and the non-techsavy people don't care about updates because they don't understand them anyway. If Moto doesn't push the update to the people that don't understand computers, those people may think their battery life is worse than the other phones because Moto G³ is "a bad phone". They don't care about software. Everyone knows friends like this. But the Moto G³ is not an obsolete device. It has nice specs for Android Oreo, and even better specs for Android GO.
So, I personally believe that Moto will at least start to think, whether or not they should abandon their next phones after several months.

There is a fully-fledged Android Oreo ROM available. There is no reason why you would want Android GO. It's a water-downed version of Android Oreo. I said Android GO as a stock ROM if it is better for the Moto G³.

Yeah, that won't happen any time soon.. this is lenovo remember? Also no company has ever bumped a device for example from 5.0 to 7.0, as far as i know.
Hmm... That may be the case here, too (I'm 98% sure). But the thing is - Moto should learn from their mistakes. I think that it's a mistake to guarantee "2 year full support" and then dump the device after just several months.

I don't even believe it. The thing is, there should be somethig to catch Motorola's eyes. They actually still want to do only one major OS upgrade per device. Source - Motorola Official Blog - Say hello to Android Oreo:
Since the time of posting this, we have learned of some errors in our marketing materials around Android O upgrades for moto g4 Plus. It’s our general practice for the moto g family to get one major OS upgrade per device, so it wasn’t originally planned for Android O. But it’s important to us we keep our promises, so in addition to the N upgrade it has already received, we will be upgrading moto g4 Plus to Android O. Because this is an unplanned upgrade, it will take some time to fit into our schedule, we’ll update our software upgrade page when we have more info.

Well, every older Moto G device (falcon, titan) recieved 2 major OS updates (falcon: Android Kitkat and Lollipop) (Titan: Lollipop and Marshamallow), meaning that the Moto G 2015 family (osprey and merlin) are the first and only moto g family to recieve only 1 major OS update. The G4 Play and the Moto X Style have the same or lower specs than the Moto G3 and G3 Turbo, but they DID recieve nougat, so the "too low specs" answer is just a lie. I personally own this device, and I´m using the 8GB version, wich might be a little too slow for Nougat or Oreo, but the 16GB and Turbo Variants would run those OS without any problem.
