[Q] still no 4.2.2 update for me

Hey there,
quick question, as i'm new to this, since this is my first android phone. so i've heard that 4.2.2 was released about a week ago. now apparently this update comes in waves, meaning that not everyone will get it at the same time. now i've got two questions about it, since i still haven't received this update:
- is this normal that you have to wait so long to get an update that's already available to a lot of people? (don't wanna do the framework trick)
- what is the purpose of that? please don't tell me, google couldn't handle the traffic when some people want to download this tiny update at the same time? oO
i'm just asking because im starting to worry if there's something wrong with my phone that makes it unable to receive system updates. i don't need the update that bad.

Yes. Don't worry.

I have a n4 ,n7 and n10. Framework worked for me 1st time with all the devices. Its very easy. Why not just do it???

Because i've read that it messes up / resets settings of certain apps.

Worked fine for me.
Clearing Google services framework from the apps section definitely works.

I haven't gotten it either. Framework worked on N10 and gnex. I'm mainly not forcing it on N4 out of curiosity of how long it will take. Yes, I'm strange but not really needing update on N4. No reboots, no butter in the update, etc.

I haven't got it either. Is that related to the country or the batch of the phone you purchased?

Still havent got it either. I dont wanna force it with the framework data delete trick, the update is nothing interesting so id like to wait and see how long it would take to recieve the OTA.

i know in canada, the updates go through service providers(if purchased from them) instead of google servers. maybe this is what is happening if you don't see the update yet?

No update for me either, but I don't mind it. Nothing major that I've read so far will force me to manually update my phone. If it doesn't come by Google I/O, then I'd worry, but by then KLP will probably be out.

I'm curious about this too. Oddly, clearing the cache from my Google Framework didn't work. I'm curious to see if battery life gets ANY better with this update.

They stagger the updates so their servers don't get overloaded with everyone trying to download the update at once. Microsoft does the same thing with Windows updates but they finish within a few days.

Canada here. My N7 took five days to get the OTA. It's been five days since the rollout began and still no OTA on my N4 yet.

4.4.2 KitKat roll out announced

That was quick. Way to go Google!
http://9to5google.com/2013/12/19/android-4-4-2-kitkat-to-begin-rolling-out-to-the-moto-g-today/
"Android KitKat Comes to Moto G - Our KitKat family is expanding! When we launched Moto G last month, we committed to delivering Android, KitKat, to devices by early 2014. We are thrilled to start delivering on that promise early. Starting today, we are rolling out Android 4.4.2 to Moto G phones bought on Motorola.com or Amazon.com in the U.S. KitKat will come to other Moto G carriers and regions soon as well.

They're doing a super job. In the little time I've had this, I've really noticed the little things such as their Xmas boot animation. I'm aware that some don't like it, but I think most will like the little touch of 'class'. Personally, I'd like to see them really surprise me with a Superbowl or BCS bowl animation but I recognize that will only appeal to a few.

Nice, although note:
This Moto G software update is for all Global GSM and US GSM models purchased online in the United States

So I guess that still means January for the non-US models. Not sure why Motorola has shifted attention to the US so much in recent weeks after the initial launch, but I suppose we'll have to see how this all pans out.

It's almost like Motorola is a US company or something!
I wouldn't worry too much unless you got one of the phones tied to a carrier. It'll come in time.

Yes and I just got my phone today from FedEx. Can't wait to receive the update!

Heh I'm not worried, everything always comes in time ... Motorola obviously didn't launch the phone in the US and I'm just interested in the turnaround since then from the planned US launch in January. It's been a bit irritating to see all the 16GB stock suddenly appear in the US when it's been hard to get any in the UK, not to mention accessories ... anyway, off-topic.

Can't we just flash the phone with stock US then do the update ???

Hopefully. I've just flashed Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US over a UK moto G
It gave some warnings during the flash process but worked ok. Not sure though which will upgrade to KitKat first this or Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US

My brother's phone just got the update. I'm searching for a way to retrieve the update, but if anyone knows how to get at it without root or anything, let me know and I'll upload it.
XT1034 US GSM by the way.

...I haven't installed the update yet because once I do, it won't be retrievable. I'm looking for a way to extract it from the phone, but the phone has no root, ergo, I can't reach the /cache folder. I can't find any conclusive answers on how to retrieve it though without root, so I think I'll just install it for him.
Sorry folks, but without root, I don't think I can do it.

Take for example the RootExplorer, browse to /cache/ and copy the file to SD card, even without root!

I tried with Root Explorer, but it still didn't let me. Probably due to lacking root permissions.

There will be no Lollipop for US carriers until months after the international phones get it. There is a lot of back and forth between carriers and Samsung...this has always been the case and always will be. Whenever you see talks of a model getting an OS update and release date, it is ALWAYS the international version and then you may see "speculation" as to when "some" of the US carriers will start rolling it out.

I'm not talking about the 4.4.4 update, I'm talking other updates, 4.3, and I think the update that fixed moving apps to the SD card.
Plus, the 4.4.4 update is kind of pointless for the S4 right? Didn't Samsung make all the fixes in that update in the 4.4.2 update?

Awesome update, thanks for posting!

That is not correct. The international S4 got 4.3 2 weeks before Verizon and the only reason 4.3 was rushed to all devices was because it added Galaxy Gear compatibility. Sammy and US carriers wanted to make sure everyone bought phone and watch combos for the holidays. Verizon was the first US carrier to release... And I am sure all for monetary reasons. They had to release bug fixes soon after.

As of yesterday my lag free hangouts are now back to being laggy, not as bad but it's there again back to textra I go.

So far for me reception has been overall better and also VoLTE seems to be.........working like initially intended. I'm wondering though if they changed anything that might impact battery life in anyway.

Wifi significantly improved on my turbo.

No because they won't recompile after soak.
If they did, it would break all hash checks for soakers and they would never be able to get another ota.

New Software Update - 9/21/2016

Anybody else got prompted with this update yet? Can't find any release notes at this time.
http://imgur.com/UeM9RrF

I checked for it earlier when I heard about it and installed it. September security update but not sure anything else with it.

I got the notice but have not installed it yet.

I installed it earlier after seeing many on another site that did so. it's a little bit over 100 megabytes so it's probably not much more that the actual security update.

September Security Update haven't seen anything else yet.

This is a really good sign that Lenovo is dedicated to keeping us up to date. I smell Nougat soon!
