I'm going to lock this thread to prevent spam or problems. If Droid 2 users want to petition that's your choice so I won't delete. On a side note 90% of the times locked phones is the carriers doing, even google/Samsung locked Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
Cheers

'Google to sell Motorola to Lenovo'

Breaking story on The Verge
Google is reportedly nearing a deal to sell Motorola's phone division to Lenovo, a move that would give the Chinese smartphone manufacturer a major presence in the US smartphone market. News of the potential acquisition comes from both Reuters and China Daily, with the latter reporting that the acquisition could be announced as soon as Thursday morning in Beijing — just a matter of hours from now. Reuters reports that the deal is worth close to $3 billion, a number corroborated by China Daily's report over a deal worth over $2 billion.
Google originally bought Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion, but said at the time that it was mainly interested in its patent portfolio. Now, it appears that Google is offloading its handset business, which has been losing hundreds of millions each quarter since the purchase. Reuters reports that Lenovo's purchase will include some patents, though it appears that the acquisition focuses primarily on devices, such as the Moto X and Moto G.

We will have to see what it means for the Motorola leadership team. I'm not ready to give up but I have serious concerns about what this means. Lenovo couldn't make mobility work on their own...
From my Moto G

Yes it is confirmed (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/29/lenovo-nearing-3-billion-deal-for-motorola/)... And I'm not happy at all as Moto G customer!

I feel sad... All was perfect... I hope lenovo will help and don't destroy motorola

Why? I will not make any difference to the Moto G. Motorola has been operating independently from Google since Google bought them.

Well, there is still the Moto G play store edition and that gets fast updates. I think we'll be okay.

Dennis Woodside and all management will stay with Motorola, so I doubt we will see too many changes to Motorola.

Im pretty sure this is not bad at all, Lenovo will let Motorola work as an independent company like google did, after all Motorola has its own "fans" and has regained a lot of attention last year...
I would even go the extra mile to say that Lenovo would help a lot more than Google, after all Google barely even touched Motorola...

I think that as not everyone got a GPE we will not see fast updates (or even any updates) for current devices. I don't know... I hope the future will tell otherwise!

I am worried that the way Lenovo is going to try to get their return on investment for this acquisition is not going to be very fruitful for Motorola's current and future customer base.
Let's just hope that there'll be at least some support for the Motor G into android versions beyond kitkat...

I hope that Lenovo will allow Motorola to be a independent company like when Google owned it and just use Motorola for their patents, to support future Lenovo products such as Tablets.

Motorola sets press event for Feb 25

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?
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk 2

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 !

Tablet?

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

If they put some awful touchwiz like ui skin on.....we'll just have to embrace custom roms.

Depends if we get unlocked bootloaders.

I'd kill if it was the new moto x or that phablet that was rumored earlier. I've got a sprint and Verizon upgrade to burn and I'm waiting for something worth it!
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

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.

Moto Maxx in Soak Test in Brazil

So i just asked motorola support this morning about Moto Maxx and they told me that a very limited number of people already received Lollipop. It's coming :victory:

I wouldn't get too excited about it. To me, it seems like a pretty standard answer that they would give about any model from the Moto line.
But, yeah, let's hope the update reaches us before the end of the year!

I know but i asked specifically for Moto Maxx .

Threw that into translate for those of us who don't speak Portuguese:
In the first phase of the testing process, Motorola began updating the new Android (Lollipop 5.0) for a very limited number of customers.
Motorola recommends that users stay tuned entire information disclosed on his blog and official profiles on social networks to monitor the availability of updating the products in Brazil.

[OFF-TOPIC] Moto G 3rd Gen [Discussion]

And then today I see this on google now
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Flipkart-lists-third-generation-Motorola-Moto-G_id69291
Its not even been a year and they release a 3rd gen model... I mean to say why is motorola in a hurry to realease things... Infact a 3rd gen moto x is also rumour. What are views on it guys.

Makes no sense for me. If they go on like this we have the Moto G 43th Gen in 2 or 3 years
Maybe Motorola thinks everyone buys the next Gen just for one or two specs (like LTE) and maybe they are right? I don't know. Otherwise they could have built LTE right from the start in the 2nd Gen and release a 3rd with really NEW features.

xD Lol
Thats not the case or else i would have bought moto x 2nd gen

Moto g 3rd gen is a better option
This may be because there are already some better smartphones launched in the market after moto g 2nd gen. Motorola wants to stay in market and provide better option to the customers. Moto g 3rd gen is really better than most of the smartphones in the same price range. You can see the specs of Moto g 3rd gen here. They are really good.

Those specifications are completely not the right ones.... Actually Moto 3rd gen looks like not a big improvement and it still will have only 1GB of RAM..

The specs from GSM Arena are just rumored specs that were launched before the actual details being leaked. A more accurate representation is posted here. Also here you can find a more detailed presentation of the topic at hand.

Wish Motorola would devote as much energy to prompt updates to fix crucial bugs as they apparently do in pushing new models onto the market. I guess they're probably not alone in that, though.

28th July is looking interesting
