I would love if i got that email. Did you receive it?
I signed up for it on the Moto site, but I have not received a notice yet. If I got one, I couldn't say I got it I think. Hope that makes sense.
Thats what she said!

I am not sure of where exactly I signed up. I believe it was on the Moto site, perhaps it was the page where the droid Maxx stuff is. You will have to look around.
Doesn't matter for me, I'm too reliant on Xposed and I'll have to wait for that to update first.
I love xposed module unfortunately it does not work with Android Lollipop so I switched back to stock

To be eligible for a soak test, you must sign up to be part of the Motorola Feedback Network (MFN). Motorola picks from a pool of registered users and sends the soak test update to their devices. Click here for details.
Another promise !?

The moto voice app can give us these options before lollipop, at least that is what I am hoping for.

Lol at both you. my post sure did provide a ton of proprietary, top secret information, bugs, unknown features etc about the upcoming release. Lighten up. Worrying about such little things will turn your hair grey early
We'd be so lucky to be the last to be pushed gingerbread after jha said we'd be among the first.
So does this mean the rest of us will get an update soon? I sure hope so..

Yes it means the real thing is coming in about a fortnight (according to what I've read, pls feel free to correct) after the SOAK testing starts
for those of us already unlocked and running a version of 4.5.91, is it even worth the hassle of trying to sign up for the soak, and get our phones ready? (if even possible with the possible brick above our heads)
or just stay with what we got and continue riding the wave? lol
I'm not signing up for this soak. Figure after all the hard bricks and such its probably not a smart idea to try the ota over an unlocked bl/ken's gb.
Been waiting for the official release, thanks for the update.

In the survey you completed previous to this one you agreed to keep all communications confidential. If you selected "no" to that question you would never have received this new notification.
It says keep private but it also says to share this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BG8FYV5
if you want to sign up for future/current soak.
Y'all are posting in a troll thread.

There's still no timeline and it appears the X will be getting 4.4 weeks before the Droid family.
So we're supposed to celebrate because MotoGoogle hasn't declared two-month-old devices obsolete? Gee, expectations are really getting low around here.

Pretty much my thoughts too. I pretty much knew right when I saw the Nexus 5 that Moto X and droids would be about a month or so behind in the update cycle.
What I'm actually excited to see is if 4.4 actually gives Verizon phones the ability to use Google Wallet or whatever payment system/NFC trickery

The Google/Verizon plans for 2014 are probably LTE tablets. Maybe- just maybe- we'll see a Google phone that is VoLTE-only, but I find it hard to believe that Verizon and Google would willingly partner on that. It doesn't seem like Verizon's style.

That's what those of us with Photons on GB thought too. Motorola's story was they would get JB...right up until the day they said they never would.
I think they are referring to the NFC payment part of the app that Verizon has disabled for the Maxx

From the soak test I have seen done in the past they send out them to people who confirmed their IEMI. Which I may be wrong about this is set for each phone individually. Meaning that soak test update only works for that said IEMI. I could be wrong. Just a guess.

I'm not sure what to make of you, yet.
You're rude, ***** at people, act like a knowitall, with a '14 join date, and almost 800 posts in less than 6 months.
Maybe it's the Droid Turbo forum, but I've not seen members of this community be as rude to people as you are. You're like an angry little troll.
Lighten up, breh. Post less. Be more informative. Be more helpful. I think the only reason I still give you any credit is that you must've done something nice once or twice to get your thanks meter up.
I haven't received an e-mail. Oh well. Not sure if anything has changed but I don't remember anyone having issues sideloading soak test updates when I had my Droid 4.

No root needed if a signed OTA file.
Not to install, but I think he's right, you need root to grab the OTA file out of the cache partition.

I doubt. Moto plays smart. All roms have the same base. Will see soon.
Check the XDA homepage.. they said that G5 and G5s users are receiving oreo in australia and new zealand.. anyone can confirm this?
Here's the article:
Motorola Brings Android Oreo to the Moto Z, Z2 Play, G5, G5S and More in Australia and New Zealand
Excellent, I hope that some users can share the zip, or something similar to install the update on other update channels, as they did with the G4 Plus when it received 7.0
I'm shocked. Is this real?

Needs to be more independent reports before we can trust it.

Nope no Oreo. I'm from Australia. I think I actually prefer nougat. I have a Nokia 8 on oreo 8.1 and it's smooth and all but that's running a s835. This Moto g5 plus feels pretty smooth (apart from heavy live wallpapers and games) for a s625. And I like nougats overall look
