All 4.4.3 rollouts paused to bring 4.4.4 - Moto X General

Sorry for the delay in giving an update on the 4.4.3 upgrades but I had to wait unit Google announced KitKat 4.4.4 today (I am bound by a NDA). A significant security vulnerability was discovered by OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt) and is fixed in KitKat 4.4.4. We had to wait until KitKat 4.4.4 became available.*Consequently,*all of our 4.4.3 upgrades that were in carrier labs worldwide (including the 2013 Droid's) had to be respun, tested and resubmitted again. This was a significant unplanned effort that we had to undertake. We should be re-entering labs next week and hopefully getting TA (technical approval) in 3 to 5 weeks later depending on the carrier.

I was wondering about that too. It's just a small update. I think on nexus 5 was around 2.4 Mb

If 4.4.4 is a major security upgrade, shouldn't google and the major device manufacturers be working fast to get it on their major devices as to not have the openssl bug become a problem for users?

More than a security update I think on the Verizon moto X they will also going to implement support for XLTE network

It already supports band 4 LTE and has since 4.2.2.
Carriers purposely slow the update process. Buy a shiny new phone instead is their view, however irresponsible that is (since they're making money on locking people into contracts for their service except T-Mobile, of course).
They very slowly test their software, network performance, and ability to use LTE on other US carriers (Verizon hates that T-Mobile also uses band 4 and sets the default APN to an old, non-LTE one - completely against the rules of the C block ruling). It won't change to fast.t-mobile.com unless you're outside of a T-Mobile LTE area and you have to manually create a new APN. Sometimes it'll change back to epc.tmobile.com and you have to forcibly change it multiple times. That's why Verizon takes forever. They're more concerned about their SIM unlocked phones being usable on other networks.

Sigh... I don't understand how Google could overlook something like this. And it's not like 4.4.3 was a major release. And because I'm on Verizon, we won't get the update for another couple of months.

Verizon was among the first to get one of the last updates... Sheesh, just be a little patient...

Unfortunately its not completely on the manufacturers (some manufactures don't care) and Google. The carrier variants have to go through carrier testing first before being approved for release. This gives the carriers a chance to add their crapware, brand the software, and test it on their network. Those with DE or GPE phone get their updates directly from Google or in the Moto X's case Motorola. They don't have to go through the carriers before releasing the update.

God, can we cut the nonsense? The bug was just discovered according to the open SSL report and Google came out with 4.4.4 days later.

Sprint.....
announced the 4.4.3 upgrade a day before 4.4.4 came out. My 1056 has yet to receive either upgrade. I'm assuming they halted the 4.4.3 upgrade.

What the? Verizon first? Come on tmobile..
I just switched to sprint for free and sold my us cellular moto x to pay the early termination, im now the proud owner of a moto x on sprint with unlimited data, I was paying so many overages with data as I use it to tether my surface pro. When sprint gets the update can I just unlock bootloader and flash su.zip since the sprint version is available for bootloader unlock?

There is no direct causative evidence pointing to the fact that the NDA was broken and if that was why the soak test was cancelled. However, yes, the soak seems to have been cancelled.
It is plausible that the test was cancelled so that they could begin the general rollout instead; which, if true, is actually a good move by Motorola. I don't see why anyone should be angry that the soak is cancelled in light of the news of the general rollout. Once we have our hands on the update file, we can ADB sideload and profit!

Check for updates, mine is downloading as we speak.. no im not in the soak or any of that

I'm not miffed yet. It's been less than a week since Verizon got the update. I'll start getting annoyed if it takes more than two weeks after the Verizon roll out.
The weekend probably stopped them from releasing any more updates for different carriers. If Monday comes and goes without another Moto X update then I would worry.

Take a nap, relax, go to beach, make a trip, go to university cause Kitkat for us Brazillian will be released in the same time that Motomaker will: NEVER. Its a damn shame this.

Very hard to believe seeing as how Verizon was on it, next day T-Mobile gets updated and where is Sprint at?? The Sprint Galaxy Nexus was updated before any carrier, which was awesome but now the Moto X update to Kit Kat, not a word any where. I so wish my contract with Sprint was up because after being a 16 year Sprint customer, I am ready to jump ship with these fools. The network gets worse and worse everyday, it seems. It should not take this long for our Moto Xs to be updated!
Why are people still on sprint? It's no cheaper than any other carrier, and it has the worst signal. I get if you're stuck in a contract, but there are some that willingly sign a new one with them.
Could be Moto holding the update until a bug fixer is available for the rest of us. There are some bugs in Kit Kat that need attention.
Dude, US Cellular doesn't have it either... Doesn't matter how much we try. When it comes it comes.

No development for Europe?

As I'm still patiently waiting for the kit kat update for my region, I wonder if they have completely abandoned Europe development. I still have the mj6 update which is the latest firmware for Greece. Since then Samsung had released mk1, ml1, kit kat etc for usa but they completely neglect Europe the last 6 months.
Is this normal or they have sold like 30 tablets in whole Europe and they don't even care?
So who are the other 29 who had bought note 10.1 2014 from Europe?

Germany here, I bought one of the remaining 29. I'm still confident, that we will get the KitKat update soon. Being not the first one getting the update is not always a bad thing. There are reports of horizontal lines at video playback and audio glitches with the current 4.4 version. As I use my tablet heavily for video playback, I would not be amused about problems concerning video playback.
So I hope Samsung gets this sorted out then they can start to roll out the update in Europe as well.
I use the us update here in Switzerland. I have no issues at all so far. Videoplayback I is fine for me. I'll install the AUT version when it arrives, but no rush kitkat is great.
Samaung is always bad with updates, worst was HTC but now they are the best, they provide new android os within a month with sense ui and latest sense 6 to previous high and mid range devices. While samsung never ever upgrades ui. You should always consider this b4 buying sams phones but i expdcted some aosp or ports from other devices, sadly we also lack these
Here from Netherland, and I bought one of the last remaining 28. Sadly no kitkat update here, but I have no issues at all. I don't expect kitkat soon.

No you're not. If you were you wouldn't have started this thread. The EU usually gets non-carrier updates first. In this case the U.S. did. And it was about ten days ago which for those not anxiety stricken isn't a lot of time. This thread is just like the SM-P601 and SM-P605 "Samsung's abandoned us" threads. Everyone wants to be first but obviously not everyone can. Suck it up.
I'm in the UK here I bought one of the last remaining 27 but as @foo rightly pointed out it's better getting it later as it normally means all the little and big bugs get fixed. Either way your not the only one waiting there are 30 of us

I know but you need to root and trip Knox fuse. Multi user is a core feature since 4.2 so there's no excuse for Samsung in a premium device like unlocked P605s. That's my point of view, maybe wrong maybe not [emoji12]

Or back of the que? I have a French version (in UK) which is dual sim model and based on the Asia version. I was able to download the OTA update (India) and update my Play X to MM.
All good really. Adaptive Storage seems to work for me and a bonus having the 16gb model. Only small issue is I use Opera browser and it lags a little until the page actually fully loads and then a little more it loses the lag.
I'm sure MM will come soon but guess moto/Lenovo have been on holiday possibly!
Looking forward to it with bated breath Richy, not confident enough to flash it although I probably could lol, just can't afford to replace my phone if I brick it. Gonna have to practice on old HTC wildfire s lol
I signed up for the resting program on the moto site here in the UK. Not received any soak test stuff.
Lots of variables I guess, might not have been in time or selected.
I'd imagine as other countries are getting the ota they may not have needed a UK soak test?
Looking forward to receiving the update.
Can then get more games on the xplay!
