Clearly, a lack of understanding from whoever reposted his comments. David Schuster said that updates that were in carrier labs were halted. Those are updates that have not been approved by carriers. No where does he say they have stopped any current rollouts. Btw, he never once mentions the Moto G afaik.

It seems kinda logical option to stop 4.4.3 and jump to 4.4.4 for moto devices . To me it doesn't matter if they are gonna take 2 - 3 weeks to rollout . It's understandable. As long as the new upgrade patches the holes for network drop outs and the new update is well tested

i dont think it will take that long. it will probably be pushed out next week, during or after Google I/O

Perhaps, but the Motorola employee never said they were stopping rollouts. He said that updates that were currently in carrier testing were being resubmitted. The updates take up to a month for testing by carriers so obviously they will start the process over with .4 right away. The rollout to non carrier specific devices should not be affected. The .4 update is less than 3mb for the Nexus devices. It is a very small set of changes and there is no reason Motorola would halt the current rollout when the bug being addressed is not new.

Please use the existing thread for 4.4.3 updates. It's better to keep everything in one thread rather than having multiple threads with near identical discussions (or at least the same topic). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770799&page=45

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.
In addition, the information may also be viewed through the link:

[Confirmed] Verizon Nexus 6 on March 12th with 5.1 - 5.1 for us too?

So according to this the Verizon Nexus 6 will come with 5.1 Lollipop. Does this mean that Motorola will rollout Lollipop to the DT around this time? And will it be 5.1 Lollipop?
Verizon's Nexus 6 could arrive very soon http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/27/verizon-nexus-6/ via Engadget Android
Update: Its been confirmed that the Nexus 6 will drop on Verizon tomorrow and with 5.1 Lollipop. No word on a locked down BL though.
Google's Nexus 6 will finally reach Verizon on March 12th http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/11/google-nexus-6-for-verizon/ via Engadget Android
While the Nexus 6 has been confirmed to have 5.1, no word has been given about the DT being upgraded to 5.1 or any other version of Lollipop as of yet.

So according to what?

Sorry forgot to attach the link - OP updated

I'm hoping we are updated by then, but I seriously doubt that it will be 5.1, most likely 5.0.2 which has been cycling through the Moto line.

5.1 is already out for limited devices. We may get 5.1 after all said and done

True, we most likely get 5.1, I just don't think this update. Most likely the next update, which should be faster once we are on lollipop.

Nope... U think Verizon sits n adds bloat n release the software? Nope.... They give the apps that need to be added to Moto's software Developers... the Verizon framework is allover the System partition on the turbo, so its not just adding a bunch of apps its integrated deep... Then Motorola makes loads of builds with one build a day n test the siftware on prototype phones... Once they feel the software is stable enough then send it to Verizon for approval... If Verizon is not satisfied with the bloat, they reject it and Motos gotta start adding the bloat n test it out again...

Not holding my breath on any updates soon on the Turbo. This phone has been out for over half a year now with nothing in the works. For a near stock phone I'm not sure why it's taking a back seat to all of these other devices that are getting Lollipop. So much for my decision to go with a Motorola device because of a so-called quick update schedule.

Nothing in the works eh? So there have been NO updates then?
Oh and its been 4 months, but what's rounding it up by another two gonna hurt? It makes it more dramatic.
Everyone wants Lollipop, but doesn't care that it is less stable than Kitkat. Lollipop is just another ICS repeat. ICS didn't start becoming truly stable until 4.1, which Google for some reason deserved a name change. It took forever for devices to update to ICS, and by the time some did, Jellybean was out. Lollipop is a full point release, and major Android overhaul. This is not a 4.0 -> 4.1 -> 4.3 -> 4.4 transition. This is a 4.4 -> 5.0 transition and major parts of Adroid have been reworked. It isn't just a theme. It hasn't been a smooth launch. Verizon is strict with their testing, and we all know that. They are not going to let an OS less stable than its predecessor pass testing on one of their flagship devices. Despite what you want to believe, the Turbo is their specific flagship and they will want it to be the most stable.
Hey, I want Lollipop too. However, Im willing to take the instability with it. Verizon apparently is not after seeing how it fared on the X. The truth has always been out there, no matter how much people want to ignore it: If you want the ultimate network and stability, you got Verizon. If you want bleeding edge software on your devices, you go elsewhere.
So to be frank, anyone who bought the Turbo expecting blazing fast updates should blame their own misconceptions.

You can get excited about two minor updates with imperceptible bug fixes but I'm referring to OS updates.

Then you shouldn't be on Verizon. Verizon has had a few quick updates over the years, but it doesn't erase all the slow ones.
This is nothing new.
It sucks, but sometimes the bitter truth is what people need. I only stick with Verizon because I am potentially on call 24/7 and my phone at work is tied into my cell phone. I need a reliable carrier and due to where I live, where I travel, and where I work, Verizon is the most reliable.

By far most reliable for me. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the concept of XLTE or how it ties in with VoLTE but since the DT had it's second VoLTE update I haven't dropped one call and with XLTE I'm on LTE 97% even underground here in Chicago. And I make a lot of calls everyday. We all want updates as soon as possible but as long as what we have works then I can wait.

Maybe the information is slightly wrong, and that's the soak date. Either way it's finally coming. Can't wait to see this phone on 5.1

At this point, it better be polished all to hell. I'll be upset if I see any major bugs at all after that wait.

I'm on the last 5.0.2 for Moto Maxx Retail Br (FIRMWARE ending with .16)
Only Bluetooth is having some random connection issues.
If they fix it and keeps/improve this stability, I think it'll be great! :}

Hopefully, 5.1 for all the Quarks will be released at the same time: U.S. Droid Turbo XT1254, U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, International Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225.
Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225 has had 5.0.2 since March. But I knew Motorola wouldn't give us 5.1 until Verizon signed off on 5.1 for the Droid Turbo.
Also would be great for Motorola to post kernel source code to Motorola's development GitHub sooner rather than later, for custom ROMs. Back in 2014, took them up to 3 months to post the source code for some updates -- which they are obligated to release under Android license.

GPL license actually and there is a gotcha in it: there must be an official request for it first and the stipulation of it being released in a reasonable amount of time is open to interpretation. On top of that, they are not required to deliver it digitally.
GPL has all sorts of unfortunate loopholes and GNU won't take people to court who violate it.

I don't suppose anyone knows the chances of us getting to keep root with this update....

If you have unlocked bootloader or bootloader than can be unlocked -- like the U.S Moto Maxx XT1250 and International Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225 -- then yes you can keep root.
For the other Quark phone, the Droid Turbo XT1254, will depend on the magic of those skilled people who did it the first time -- IF you accept the OTA.
Down in the development section, there's a rooted ROM for the Droid Turbo. Guy says you can flash his ROM, he will keep it updated to 5.1, and don't take the OTA:

So as everyone probably knows by now it was announced that the Turbo will receive 5.1 starting on June 10th. Now Computerfreek I have really enjoyed your images and love the edits and tweaks you have made to it so my question is will you be bringing all those changes and tweaks to the new 5.1 base as it has been said before that it may be possible that the Mofo and flash system should/might still work even with lollipop. If thats true will this continue as a 5.1 rom. I know I personally would LOVE to see that and continue to support and promote this great image.

as far as ota update we will just all have to see. I know there is a 99% chance that if you do take the update mofo will not and will never work. Verizon is working hard with moto to close the loophole.
I say stay away from an ota update for a week or so. This way you can keep your loophole open.

I'll believe this when I see it. There's no way Motorola and Verizon would move forward with this update without a fairly large soak test. Too much stuff changed going from 4.4-5.x. 6/10 is a week away, and there's no sign soak test surveys have gone out yet, so I doubt we'll even see a soak start by that date.
I do think we're getting close to v5.1. 6/10 might have even been the target date for the release or a soak. Or maybe it's a target date for the final build which will eventually go out in a soak.

I'm skeptical too, but I will be happy to be wrong.
July 2015 was the original leaked schedule for Lollipop (after 5.0.2 was scrapped) for the Droid Turbo, leaked by someone back in March with supposed inside information. This is what I posted May 16:

So, we'll see.

So I wonder when we get the android 5.1 update will it be android 5.1 or will it be android 5.1.1
Or when we do get the upgrade may be it will be android 5.1 at 1st and then get android 5.1.1 has a update fix later on

I'm sure Moto will find 5.1.1 too hard to upgrade to and too much work so they will just skip to M next year. :|

95% of phones out there won't be getting an M update this year, so you are probably right.

Well, I am looking forward to the release sometime in July. Fingers crossed. I think with the hardware power of this device, getting a software makeover will make it more attractive. Especially, considering they lowered the price. The more they sell, the more likely they are to support it going forward.

Sept. 29 is the Google event for Android M.
Pretty sure somebody mixed this with the Motorola updates and the rumour mill is running with it.

Looks like Android Marshmallow will he rolling out for other nexus devices from Oct 5.

So much for 5.1.1 update.

Now we learn not to trust random threads.

As far as 5.1 update,, I don't think we will get this ,,, we have got final update (buf fix )

Apparently the Moto G will skip 5.1.1 and update directly to Marshmallow

We'll probably get it when N is coming out.

Honestly, they got so many troubles going from Kitkat to Lollipop, and now again from 5.02 to 5.1 that I can't believe then anymore. About a month ago they sent out invites for a soak test, supposedly for 5.1, but it never happened. I really can't trust them anymore.
