Android 7.0 Update - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I Saw the news on AA and I don't know but it said here that most of the Motorola devices will receive Android 7.0. My confusion is that: will Moto X play receive 7.0 as well?
http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-update-679175/

I guess we are out of luck on this one. I got my X Play in January. It came with Lollipop, but I could almost immediately upgrade to Marshmallow. Security level was "December 2015". Last April we could upgrade to March 2016 and since then there is no release except one for India. Since then Google has released updates :
April : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-04-02.html
May : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-05-01.html
June : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-06-01.html
July : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-07-01.html
August : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-08-01.html
Each of these updates contains at least one (but up to eight) updates which are marked Critical.
I think any manufacturer has reasons to deploy these updates. Since it requires a lot of effort I'm not expecting an OTA each month, but it would be nice to see an OTA every 2-3 months. No news from Motorola is bad news for me. It seems they move on to the next series of devices.
After 5 months "your device is up to date", I've had it. My phone has been unlocked last week, and it now runs one of the custom ROMs found here. It has the July update, and I am expecting an OTA update for my ROM soon.

An 2015 phone without 7.0? No way. I hope we will receive it in 2017.

Well.... crap, I really hoped that it'll get 7.0, so many features to try out.

it's official? we were off 7.0 ??

My humbled opinion is that we will get android 7 for sure. Lenovo support moto devices minimally with 2 big system updates and our moto got just one (marshmallow) yet. So I am quite optimistic if you ask me...

We can only speculate until they officially announce about if they will release or not.
Pretty sure the phone can support 7.0

At least SD615 is on the list of 7.0 supported SoCs, so fingers crossed:

huh? "According to a prominent source, Qualcomm is not releasing updates to the graphic drivers on the Snapdragon 200, 208, 210, 212, 400, 410, 412, 600,615, 800 and 801 chipsets"

Someone made a bad joke, 615 was on supported devices list when I linked it, so no worries

Here's another surce. According to it SD615 supports Vulkan 1.0:

Aaahhh i already found it, but you where first to post it
but if found another wiki page about the Adreno
As you can see the Adreno (graphical chip) of the Moto x play is supported(405) which is included in the Snapdragon 615
So there is hope for android 7

All 2015 moto x series are getting android N

I think N will be 64 bit.

Android 6.0 confirmed by GSM arena

Check this link,gsm arena confirmed that zenfone 2 will get marshmallow.
http://m.gsmarena.com/the_big_android_60_marshmallow_update_list-news-14514.php
Now, the big question. WHEN?
Wouldn't be surprised if we get 6 before we get 5.xx. Asus seems at least to me have a decent mobile team that does keep the updates rolling out. Wouldn't be surprised if they are working on it already. Fingers crossed
It says "2015" so a max of 2.5 months if they stay within the given time frame.
No,2015. only means that this phone was released in 2015.
The question is When, I suppose arround 2nd quarter.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA Free mobile app
2015 stated in gsmarena means 2015 DEVICES LIST, and it does not mean that it will be released on 2015 or before 2016..
and another thing, intel just released 5.1.1 sources for devices with intel chipset, this maybe means that zenfone 2 is far faraway yet from android 6.0.........
but who knows....
They will most likely skip 5.1.1 on the whole and jump straight to 6.0
But when we got this update???

Also confirmed by a Asus mod in zentalk as of today October 19.2015

A9 pro Nougat update

When A9 pro will get nougat ??
Take a look. Very soon.
Very soon means....when or in how many days or weeks.....
If i had to guess i'd say up to 6 months from when spotted on benchmarks. It seemed to be like so for the S7.
Maybe coupled with the next security update (hoping) . A5 A3 were quick. S7 was the first, so might have been thoroughly done.

Even so if i'm not mistaken the A5 2017 took 4 months from benchmark to release. So 4 to 6 months is not unrealistic (and a sad timetable).

I m very promptly checking twice daily. Hope you are also.
I read somewhere (cant remember source) it MIGHT get it after the last model gets updated (which would start 27/07), so.... Hope starts after tomorrow. Its a phone that is still on market and has the crappiest of supports, outdated phones have already been updated first. AND there are NO accessories for it on the official samsung stores. Gotta remember to buy only extremely popular phones or flagships instead of actually good ones that dont rip my pockets.

:laugh: checking samsung update history here, it takes between 50 to 60 days between updates. The last one here was 21/6. Means 2nd week Aug might be a good guess.
This is a real good phone without samsung (less compared to their other models) / xda dev support. Still after 1 year of release no custom rom / kernel available. Never been like this with any of my earlier devices, Samsung or otherwise.
If we are lucky enough, next update will be only a security patch only. Will again leave us yearning for nougat for another month or so. My little ray of sunshine :victory:
Samsung going to release Nougat on 8th of Aug

Even G4 plus had received june security patch but not the Z Play!

Even the mid- low end Moto G4 Plus received June Security Patch but not so in the Z Play.
And it's due to the upcoming 7.1.1 update for the Z Play which includes June Security Patch also.
It's already july 7, So when will we get 7.1.1?
Is there any news about when it's releasing?
Because due to that monthly updates are also stopped!

You can sideload 7.1.1 since weeks. Then you have it. Normally not a big deal.

Not wrong at all.
Evwn it's great that Motorola/Lenovo is still providing updates to its devices in time.
Just giving me sentences support.
You should calm down. You're complaining about everything, even contacting Moto for ridiculous things like rounded icons.
Device is quite old, z2 is out but z1 is still getting updates. Slight delay is not reason to panic or opening a new topic.
Btw, how you're going to survive when Moto really ends support?
Get a life and use your device at is.

Point!
If things go the way they should. Google's 8.0 release will introduce an API at kernel level (project treble) so that phone manufacturers who get the the altered source from soc vendors can build their source on top of soc source more quickly. This will make OTAs quicker to release. But knowing every company is just going for profits they'll still drop old devices at the same rate.
This feature comes just for new devices (maybe witz Z3, Z3 Play and so on), but not with the 2017 line. If we want this, we should wait to 2018 devices. Maybe we get 8.0, but not with all features.

Sue Motorola

can we sue Motorola for delaying the oreo update for g4+ as they promised during the launch event of the g4+
I realise this might be poking a hornet's nest...
What grounds would you sue them on? Did Motorola promise a timeframe to release the Oreo update, besides saying they would release the (unplanned) update at some point in time? I'm just curious about how your argument would go.
let me make this very clear, ALL devices which are scheduled to oreo of 2017 devices will get first the update. THEN work will be done of the g4 plus!! You can get pissed off as much as you want but you can only sue Motorola once Google themselves leave support for oreo and even then the g4 plus was not updated.
We were lucky to have nougat on time as you may know, g5 family didnt received oreo update. For now only z family and x4 got update as they are there premium mid-range and flagship phones. On the other hand they where not even planning to update our phone to oreo , so depay is given. We will not get update until g5 family get and they deserve more then us(they didnt even got 1 major update)

Keep in mind that last year, in February-March we already had Nougat on our devices, but the owners of G5 series didn't received Oreo and we're already in the beginning of May. See don't have any reasons to be mad at Motorola because they didn't update the G4 Plus to Oreo, as long as the last year phones didn't received their updates.

tab s3 android pie (9.0) general discussion

With android pie set to be coming this month I thought I'd make a thread to discuss new features and any issue with the new update also to let people know when the update starts to roll out etc.
I have had my tab s3 since 2 months after it came out and am looking forward to the last os upgrade this tablet is set to get
Believe me, I postponed factory reset and cleaning junk from my tab s3, just because I am anxious to get the update. Hope it will be worth the wait.
Things I expect the most are dex mode, and night teme. Hope one of these two will be covered by update. Of course, I cannot wait for One UI aesthetics, as I like it, seems more minimalistic and simple compared to Samsung Experience... Checking for update daily

From late May:
https://www.sammobile.com/2019/05/29/android-pie-update-galaxy-tab-s3-and-galaxy-s8-active/
"Android Pie update for Galaxy Tab S3 and S8 Active may not be too far off
It appears Samsung is finally gearing up to release the Pie update for the Galaxy Tab S3 and Galaxy S8 Active soon. Multiple variants of these two devices have received Wi-Fi certification with Android Pie onboard, indicating the release may not be too far. Although not a rule, it usually takes a month or two after Wi-Fi certification for an update to hit the market."
The 1 or 2 month delay from certification to public release is way over!
intentional delay?

Official update roadmap said that update is due in August, so this is the month that we should get it.
Those articles from May were just proof that the update is ready and being tested.

while August is current roadmap, i might be wrong , but i recall seeing July as release month in older Samsung roadmaps.
Being Tab S3 a former flagship tablet, i am quite unhappy with the delay. Its Samsung call, but i believe they have already updated to Pie many cheaper devices from same vintage.
the true reason of my post is just to vent my frustration, as i am also checking for the update every other day!

yeah, thanks ,i was aware of current roadmap
my point is twofold:
- i would bet than on older version of roadmap update was bound for July release! i didnt keep a copy of old roadmap so i just rely on my memory. i understand that the roadmaps are dynamic and not carved in stone
- Device Pie certification made me expect an earlier release.
unmet expectations=frustrations.
not a big one in my list of priorities though.

I only hope it (Pie) comes in order for improvements in LineageOS (hopefully Official) and related ROMs. I'm on 8.0 Tweaked (Sammy stock) and it's great but still nothing beats Stock Pie.
Down side to having Pie is that there is no official Xposed for Pie, EdXposed is a hit and miss, even more so the modules.

Apart from the obvious one ui changes
I got the update few hours earlier. I'm also trying to figure out what's new except one ui. So far I found that multitasking/split screen changes. Also ui seems faster. I've attached some ss. Sorry i couldnt be much help.
Thank you! Looks nice with dark mode. How's battery?
Pie out now in UK too according to sammobile.

I doubt it the cpu in the tab s3 came out in early 2016 I don't think it has the power to run it as it is more heavy than android plus if they have it was mode they would discourage people from getting the new tab s6 or the tab s4 they want us to upgrade remember.
It came out in 2017, I don't see the reason it wouldn't have it
how long until non LTE release? T820?

Yes but the snapdragon 820 processor came out in 2016 (announced in 2015 ) so the cpu itself is quite dated that's what I meant. I would love it to get dex made just dont think it would run very smoothly even if it did get it
