FYI: Just got a new firmware update for "sensors". Not sure what the update is all about.
Me too, my guess is Moto is separating the new sensors as a new app for faster updates and adding new features. Similar to what they did with active display and such.

I think you may be right because I also got updates on various MOTO apps.

I agree with that assessment as well. Plus as soon as I finished updating all that I got a notification to install new sensor firmware
Can somebody explain in more detail about firmware update for "sensors". Is it OTA update?
I have Pure edition and if I check System update manually it says that the software is up to day. I am on KKE21.187-42 (build number).

the update for sensors is through the moto sensors app or whatever it's called

FWIW: my build number is -43. XT 1096. Verizon version. I wouldn't get too excited about this, though.

If its Verizon seeing the update it may enable VOLTE
Updating the "Motorola Sensor Services" app through the Play Store triggered a notification for this update.
None of the Moto stuff (Camera, Voice, Display, etc.) showed in "My Apps" before I manually searched/updated them, which seemed odd.

No. Verizon will roll out Advanced Calling 1.0. Has to be enabled on your phone and your account. Strictly optional.

Yes optional but no it has nothing to do with an app. It does require a software update to enable the feature.
Source: having two devices that received an OTA to enable the feature
"None of the Moto stuff (Camera, Voice, Display, etc.) showed in "My Apps" before I manually searched/updated them, which seemed odd."
--> Same situation for certain Google Applications on ALL Nexus version... It's a known problem.
Interestingly, mine appears to have taken the OTA and updated successfully despite being rooted and having Xposed and GravityBox installed and active.
I wish we'd get the firmware update to do data/voice simultaneously. It makes me crazy.

This is the new Google map 5. has nothing to do with the update.
"Official change log is as follows:
This system update from Google contains important bug fixes plus the latest version of Maps.
So yea, apart from the usual bug fixes and the latest Google Maps 5.0 app for Android, there is nothing much to look for in this update.
If you haven’t got the OTA update notification yet, you can force your handset to get it by dialing *#*#checkin#*# from the phone dialer to force your phone to prompt you for this Android 2.3.1 update."

wouldn't say force, it just re associates your device with the tower
I noticed a small improvement, maybe others didn't have this issue, but before the update it would usually take a full second after I pushed the power button for the device to wake up. Other than that, it was perfect. Now after the update, it wakes up a lot more quickly. Now it's just perfect!

I just read a news article saying that the new Google search update is supposed to allow us to use the "ok Google" hotword from any screen, including the lock screen. I downloaded the apk, but can't get it to do anything different on my Verizon s5. Has anyone else gotten this to work? Does it require the phones to not be rooted, maybe?
It doesn't work for us yet. I did all the steps as well but unless it is pushed for your device it's a no go
I thought it was supposed to work with all phones. Too bad, I would have liked the lock screen functionality.
According to AP, it's being rolled out by account. So we wait.

I guess I missed that part. Why offer a download link to the new apk if none of the new features will work anyway?

They may have only realized that after the article was written and the .apk was offered. There may be other subtle things that have been improved, speed for example. I think one of the comments mention that the acknowledgement "ding" is different.

Other things do seem to be subtle and to work, just not the 'OK,Google' detection from any screen. When you go in to set it up, you have to say that phrase three times so it recognizes your voice. However, it never registers so you have to back out of that screen.
Any update on this? I just received the Google search update and it doesn't allow the ok Google voice command on any the screens. I still have to open the app to use the voice setting

I got it today too. This always happens to me, I download an .apk from Android Police and usually a short time later Google Play will tell me I have an update for the same version number. So, my thought is that nothing has really changed and we are still waiting for Google as they roll the function out by account as mentioned in the article.
Thanks for the reply. Bummer
I don't know if I was late seeing this, but the search from any screen feature is available in my Google search settings now.

In the hope that this might help you (if it's not too late) or anybody else who reads this, give the following a try:
-- Enable Developer Options (tap Settings > About Phone > Build number 7 times).
-- In Developer Options, tap "Running services".
-- Look for either "Motorola Update Services" or "Device Management" or something similar.
-- STOP the Ota service.
-- You'll have to do this every time you restart the phone.
I haven't gotten an OTA download yet, even when connecting to PC and running Motorola Device Manager and letting it check for updates. The result I got for that was:
There are no updates for your device at this time.
Current version:
24.14.24.griffin_verizon.verizon.en.US
Disclaimer: This seems to work on a (Verizon/carrier-unlocked) XT1650 that's still running the original (MCL24.203-22) first release for the Moto Z Force Droid. Depending on version and exact model, your mileage may vary.

You tried both fake checkin apps?
Post your your stock motocheckin app please.
Use Super Manager, app manager. I linked it in my op.
I was able to go into my settings and disable all permissions for the moto care update app. If it still pops up a notification that the install is ready, you can long press on the notification and then click the little "i" symbol on the right and disable notifications for that app. Unfortunately it has already downloaded the update so it's on my phone as 3.6GB worth of space being used and I'm not able to click the options to remove the data. It's not installing, but still taking up the space.

What's the difference between N950USQU2BQJA and N950USQS2BQK2 ? I just got the first update 2 days ago and just got the second one just now. But can't find any information on it.
Im wondering the same thing.. An update a day after the other update? Sounds like someone broke something or did an Oopsie.
First update had the October security update and camera enhancements, the second update is the November security update.

Unfortunately, the update borked my phone -- I just get a black screen with a message "System UI has stopped" -- when I click it off the screen, it comes back a second later. I saw in another forum that perhaps substratum is the culprit -- anyone have any ideas on a fix? I know that the phone is working to some degree, my Huawei watch is still connected and I get notifications on it. But I can't really access the phone at all, only black screen and error messages. Also, I have tried safe mode and I get the same issue -- which tells me that it shouldn't be a substratum issue since safe mode deactivated 3rd party apps, but who knows? Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue like u after the update. if u do have a substratum theme installed then that's most likely your issue. Luckily for me I had usb debugging on and I was able to adb and uninstall the theme systemui by running these command through adb.
adb shell
pm uninstall com.android.systemui.SwiftDark.Android7SamsungS8

Anytime you do an OTA the Substratum app developers suggest uninstalling all of the themes. Nothing is broke on the device it's just causing an issue with seeing the home screen/settings.
This is also why using ADB to uninstall the layers would fix the issue.
Just for future reference for everyone.

Does anyone know why Phone disappeared in the Playstore? I can no longer even see it listed under my installed apps in the Playstore. I had disabled one update before, because the screen wouldn't turn on while on Bluetooth. The phone was listed under available updates for a while and recently just disappeared. At first I thought it was because I installed Gcam with camera2 API and HAL3, but the phone is not rooted, and bootloader is locked.

It did update the phone app, but frequently I got the error "Google has stopped" so uninstalled it, which means that the app I have now is even older version than 16. I had earlier. It doesn't update now. Perhaps February update may bring some changes,

I think compatibility was removed from the Mi A1 as they were receiving many 1 star reviews on the app by people from India. Many users are complaining about issues related to the Jio network which are not being experienced by users from other countries.
IjazCI said:
Thats strange. I never got any error messages. Absolutely zero errors. Also updated Google Play Services to latest stable ( 948 ) version on apkmirror as our device has 448 version by default.
I lost my patience , unlocked bootloader, temporary booted to twrp and flashed the 3rd February beta by sooti earlier today. :victory: lol. ( Camera tooks a while to start after this, but that doesn't bother me. )
My device is pure stock with no modification other than the beta thing. Planning to update to stable February ota when fastboot rom is released. Or sooti bring the twrp twrp flashable rom ( whichever is earlier )
I don't know the issue others mentioning on the threads, for me this device is rock stable from the day i purchased it. No random reboot or application forcestop etc...

Edit - Camera lag is because of root. I didn't realise that. Anyway flashed the stock boot images by sooti on both partitions and the lag is gone.

What i'm facing is that isssue :

2) if i go to the contact tab of the phone app, there is duplicate contacts (on line for each app that allow calls, for example if one of my contact is on whatsapp, duo and signal, i got 4 contacts line, one for standard call, one for whatsapp call, one for signal call and finally one for duo call)
That's pretty annoying and i didn't yet find any solution
