https://motorola-global-en-uk.custh...iMW9uT2JjRWwiLCJzZXNzaW9uSUQiOiIxb25PYmNFbCJ9
Edit: Well guys, it's official now..hope razr I will receive android 4.4 soon..

[STATUS]
MOTOROLA RAZR i
The device runs KitKat 4.4

And the future plan is....
"This device will remain on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)"

They do owe us an answer about upcoming support and they are taking long on it. But i don't know if that answer's gonna be upgrading or letting phones die. I mean, they announced and released moto x, and then they just announced another line of phones. Only ones with secure upgrades are d1 and d3 and it's only for 4.2... Things ain't looking pretty good for razrs

RAZR I is 13 months and 2 weeks old, google keeps 18 months support for nexus line, and wants to kill fragmentation with Android 4.4, who supposedly should work smoothly even on older hardware - so, theoretically, I think there is still some chance for RAZR I ... but Motorola still is not google, and I've read somewhere that RAZR I was an experiment for Motorola because of Intel processor, I think that now everything depends if that experiment succeeded. Maybe also Intel would have something to say, but they have already new architecture out.
So, considering all above I'll give 50/50 for an update to 4.4.

the thing is, the razr I is still being sold on many markets, at least in Arg, Brazil, and the UK, not updating this device will be catastrophic, I mean you are OUTDATING a device that you *still* sell? its idiotic, if thats the case, I'm NEVER going to buy from motorola again, I partially bought this device because of the promise of delivering new software updates, and yet, we still are in a version that was released BEFORE the launch of our device.
TBH, I have faith, the razr HD developer edition was confirmed to recieve the update, and that probably means the M too, so I think we could recieve it as well, however it will be the last update for sure.

I hope so ) i was going to sell my Nexus 4 to buy a RazRi (AGAIN) It's such a nice phone i wish CyanogenMod released a rom for it then i would sell up and get the RazRi back

I don't think we'll get 4.4. Maybe 4.3 if we're lucky. Intel have a big part in this too, and whether they co-operate or not is important.

Motorola is skipping 4.3 update, so Kit Kat or no new updates at all.

What makes you think that? You realise there isn't a single mention of older Motorola devices. Jumping to conclusions too soon..

My previous phone (sony xperia sola) didn't receive an official jelly bean update even if it was still on market.But i don't believe that intel will let the phone die so soon.

Well, sony has a bazillions of phones, sola is a low end device, and they have their own skin. Moto on the other hand, doesnt have a custom skin anymore, on some markets (UK) they offer 2 devices only (razr i, razr hd), and ours was (still is actually) a mid range. So I think we have a chance, is not the same situation.

I think, we will stay and die on 4.1.2
Main problem is, that every country which is not called USA is "Rest Of The World" for Motorola. And in USA the Razr I is not available.
Next thing is, that the Razr I was sold before Moto was bought from google. So the old pipeline doesn't exist anymore.

I don't care much if we get updates or not. All I want is just a cyanogenmod support which we might be getting soon. Cyanogenmod is a beast which makes our phone is much more usable. Been using it since old Milestone 2. I'm using it as a daily driver on my Photon Q. Will be loving it more if it's available on Razr i. Never experience it on an Intel devices yet.

Well I just wrote on the Punit Soni (VP, Product Management at Motorola Mobility (Google)) google plus profile this:
You better update the razr i, its still your flagship in many countries, also remember the 18 months of support motorola REMEMBER, you promise ;_;

so he is either making fun of us for believing in moto (lol) or is just a hint.
Also, intel android kernel for atom devices is up to 3.8 (same version as KitKat).

Came to bring you some infos
I was looking for the news on a local brazilian website called Baixaki and found this.
http://www.tecmundo.com.br/kitkat/4...s-sao-os-aparelhos-com-suporte-ao-sistema.htm
It's in Portuguese so i'll translate for you. Forget about the text. Look for the facebook comments.
According to Wesley Albertto and Walter Figueiredo, they've contacted MotorolaBR support looking for the 4.4 update to Razr I and surprisely they answered razr hd and i will receive 4.4. Moto will skip 4.2 and 4.3 and go straight to kit kat, toguether with razr d1 and d3.
Hope you guys find more info, and sorry for my bad english

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

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.

4.4.4 not confirm for moto g!!!

I'm searching for many forum and blog official or non official but no one confirm for sure moto g getting 4.4.4 update. But only officially announced update of 4.4.3. Is Google forgetting this device for ever? if this happen than it is bad because when we purchased it, the only reason for it is a Google company.
Okay, if Google run away, I'm going for cm11 for sure. I love to be updated.
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk

Hrazib, Don't worry at all, i think Moto G and also other motorola phones will continue to get the major updates. No need to panic Well you know i am very impatient so i am already on 4.4.4 But don't worry the official update will come soon!
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Considering that google will most likely unveil 4.5 in two days at their I/O conference - we might just jump ship straight to 4.5, skipping 4.4.4.
guess we'll find out soon enough

Calm freakin' down. We have 4.4.3!!!
Enviado desde mi Moto G mediante Tapatalk

We do not need a 4.4.4 update....
Most OEM's would skip this update and jump to the 4.5 Lollipop
Although I wouldn't be surprised if Motorola releases it on a later date

For solving all doubts join here:- https://www.facebook.com/groups/MotoGOOGLE/

No need to make new thread every rumour etc. Not many devices have even 4.2.2 so let's be happy and wait calmly what comes. :tired:

It's not a major update. Please have patience, your moto device will be updated.

4.4.4 is a serious security update. Motorola is certainly pushing the update through the channels now. It is less than 3mb on the Nexus devices so it is a very small update. It has only been out a few days. Motorola had lots of time to prepare for 4.4.3. That is why it was pushed so quick.

Use more exclamation marks please. Also make a new discussion thread every time you get mad too.
Go scrub your lolindian or lolbr with CM11 and don't bother us with useless and meaningless threads.

Even if it was.....
Samsung don't even update their galaxy smart phones as Motorola does to its budget phones. We should wait instead of creating new threads. If it was so important it should have posted in the host of general threads out there

Come on man, this device even not get a year old yet.. So relaxe and waiting hopely

Android 6.0 Marshmallow For Moto X Pure

Hey guys!
When do you think we can expect Motorola to start shipping out Marshmallow to the MXPE? I can't wait to try it out!

I'm hoping it will drop right after nexus device gets it. Words are its close. Or Google search said so

No one knows and with Leno gutting Moto it might not be as fast as we would like.

Lenovo just divested itself from most of the smartphone business and turned it all over to Motorola.

Pretty sure someone will make rom with 6.0 while development on here wont be as good as on nexus we should have decent amount of roms soon.

We will have it after the Nexus rollout and before other OEMs release an M update. That's when .

Lenovo are making a graceful exit. They gutted Moto, moved their otherwise stranded costs to Motorola and will let it sink or swim. Under the Motorola name instead of Lenovo.

Android upgrade report card: Grading the manufacturers on Marshmallow

http://www.computerworld.com/articl...d-upgrade-report-card-marshmallow.html?page=2
A BIG FAT "F"
Length of time for upgrade to reach current flagship: 65 days (51.6/60 points)
Length of time for upgrade to reach previous-gen flagship: 74 days for the unlocked model -- though with all U.S. carrier models abandoned (0/30 points)
Communication: Poor (0/10 points)
An Android manufacturer has never fallen as fast and hard as what we've seen with Motorola these past couple years. In a matter of months, Moto went from being the shining example of what an Android device-maker should be to being a bitter disappointment Android fans won't soon forgive. (So much for that "nothing will change" transition in ownership, right?)
Following last year's 65% "D" grade for Android upgrades, the Lenovo-owned Motorola gets a big fat embarrassing "F" for the mess it made of this year's Marshmallow rollout. While it did do a reasonably decent (though nowhere near the standard it had maintained in the past) job at getting Android 6.0 out to its current and previous-gen flagships, it did so with one major asterisk: the outright abandonment of all U.S. carrier models of its barely-one-year-old 2014 device.
Worse yet, Motorola stayed insultingly silent on the subject, without so much as an explanation -- let alone any sort of attempt to make things right with customers who had bought into its "ongoing reliable upgrades" message. It was a slap in the face to those who trusted the company, and even if Motorola recovers and manages to do decently well moving forward, it's an incident smartphone shoppers would be wise to remember.

They were excellent when it came to 2013 devices...but those were before the Lenovo takeover if I remember correctly

In the past days the MOTO always says the Verzion Carrier test so long a time,just like droid1/2/3/4 and xt910/926/1030 and so on..
Now its becoming a department of lenovo, i dont think there are still enough development guys who can work with Verzion ones...
So i doubt the 6.0 would finally come with a final-final day or never come out

I really think we won't see it, like the Moto X Play 2014. We'll just get an out-of-the-blue message saying "SORRY". My next phone will be a Nexus, i'm done with Motonovo

Yep, l thinking about a Nexus myself, and see what Project Fi is all about. Sick of Verizon also.

Yea i'm on the same boat as you guys. Nexus may be my next phone.

im still not ready to leave my turbo, i dont need their updates. we have our own right here.

In some cases it may be VZW holding things up...but the 2013 Droids received their updates faster than any phones outside of the Nexus devices...
That was in the Google days, and when Moto first started using the near Vanilla builds of Android...
They are still as close to Vanilla as you can get, but what has changed is Lenovo...
So you do the math

No, both are equally at fault. If it were only on Verizon then the non Turbo branded quark devices would already be updated.

VZW had no problem pushing the updates for the 2013 Droids...they were the first non-nexus phones to get updates...
Wanna know what the difference was? Those phones were made when Google owned Motorola...our phones are under the control of Lenovo...
I have no love for VZW...and while they may slow things down in many cases, the fact remains...if a quality update is delivered to them, they will push it out...
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Not quite Metfanant the MotoX 2013 got updated quickly but the Droid Maxx/Ultra always lagged way behind.
In the case of the Turbo all of the other major 2014 flagships on Verizon such as G3, Galaxy S5, One M8 have seen updates to Android M. These are also all older devices than Turbo which makes it even worse. The reality is that the overall user experience will be very similar to what we have now but we at least deserve the bug fixes and security patches with the latest OS.

The Moto X update to Kit Kat was pushed out starting Nov 19th according to this article...and it was the FIRST to get it...

Just a month later the update had finished soak testing and was starting to get pushed to the Droid line...

Yeah I saw that too, the Maxx 2 came out in Oct and I think this is its first update. I used one briefly but it had screen issues so ended up returning it for another turbo.

Just filled out a droid turbo soak test survey let's hope this is a good sign of things to come

I also received an invitation for this.

I thought I signed up for these, but have never gotten one. I really hope this means we get Marshmallow soon!

I guess they didn't like my feedback from the last soak. I haven't gotten anything.
