Moto X,G,E. Android L. News, Rumors...

I open this thread, for speak the future update of Android L.
When is avaiable for Nexus?
How long for us?
The first rumor.....
au.ibtimes.com/articles/566701/20140918/android-5-0-l-eligible-ineligible-smartphones.htm
Early 2015 Android L for Moto X.
Two months.. :/
Android 5.0 L Eligible And Ineligible Smartphones: Motorola, Samsung Galaxy And Sony Xperia

Until 2015.......
Motorola have been pretty good about providing timely updates, even beating out some Nexus devices. Punit Soni himself confirmed the 2013 X will get Android L, so there's that. However, with the 2014 X out now, it could get pushed back. I think January 2015 is a solid target month to expect the 2013 X to get updated.
I wouldn't be surprised of Motorola decides to just cancel the update they've done it before with the photon 4g

Even if we do get L, it would take long time
I doubt it will take anywhere near that long, that sounds more like a timeline for heavily skinned device. The moto x is pretty barebones with only a few apps so i'd say it'll be a relatively quick update. I'd guess mid November with mid December being the latest.
It’s Official: Android 5.0 Lollipop Coming to Moto X, Moto G, Moto E and More
Keeping in mind that Motorola made the brand new Nexus 6, I am pretty sure it must be an easy task to push L very soon to all its devices. But this was the same with the previous update. Moto promised that they will push the 4.4.4 update very soon but they took quite some time due to carrier issues and quite a few other stuff to all its devices.
I just hope we all also get the L soon so that we can lick our LOLLIPOPs :victory:
It shouldn't be long for us, remember how fast the update for 4.4 came
I'm pretty sure 5.0 will be fast to port and release. After all, Moto probably got 5.0 before anyone else due to the Nexus 6. I wouldn't be amused if it's almost done for Moto X 2014.

You're probably right..
This is no surprise. The question has always been when will it arrive.
Not holding my breath, my USCC 2013 X is still on 4.4.2

That wouldn't Moto's fault. That's US Cellular's Dev teams fault..
Motorola is owned by Google thus of course mostly everything will be updated to lollipop.

Android Lollipop features
I've been following Android Police's covering of all the Android Lollipop Dev Preview (which is basically as close to the finished OS as you can get before the final release) features. It seems that the Nexus 6 (and also Android 5.0) will be coming with an always listening feature for hotword detection of "OK Google" and something akin to Moto Display called "Ambient screen". It seems that Google is really utilizing those patents it acquired from Motorola before selling it to Lenovo. I would love to try these features out! Maybe someone will make a basic ROM of 5.0 (here's to hoping!)... At any rate it seems more and more that the Moto X 2013 was really a beta test of some of Google's 5.0 features. Can't wait for the official release!!!

No, they're still owned by Google. Lenovo still hopes to have their acquisition of Motorola Mobility close by end of 2014. It's taking longer than many expected, but it's not done just yet.
It's completed now

How is possible that Moto G 2nd generation have lollipop before that moto x 2013?????

[UPDATE] Android Lollipop coming to Moto E

There is no doubt that we all were waiting for the official announcement whether Moto E would experience Lollipop !
But from now, Motorola has officially announced it. It's time to celebrate and wait for its update :silly:
According to the official Motorola Blog:
Now that Android 5.0 Lollipop will be going to the world with Nexus 6—a product of some of our own engineering—we are excited to confirm that this latest and greatest Android release will also come to our other devices as part of our ongoing software strategy to provide fast updates to our pure Android experience.
While Google has not yet publicly released Android Lollipop, we are happy to confirm that the upgrade will come to:
Moto X (1st Gen. & 2nd Gen.)
Moto G (1st Gen. & 2nd Gen.)
Moto G with 4G LTE
Moto E
Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx, and Droid Mini
Cheers to all Moto E users :good:
Have a Smiling Day
Hit thanks, if helped :good:

Moto x 2013 lollipop finally arrives!!!

Yes it's true.. Moto has finally announced the Lollipop soak test for it's most renowned and old device MOTO X
Motorola has finally announced the Lollipop 5.0.1 soak test for Moto X(2013). Motorola gained a lot of good will by updating its latter phones to the newest version of Android, starting with the Moto X. But for some reason, the 2013 Moto X has lagged far behind for updates to Lollipop. Now, five months after Android 5.0 first started rolling out to Nexus devices, the OG Moto X is finally getting its Lollipop update. Well, sort of: it's getting a soak test.
A soak test is basically Motorola's beta test for device firmware. Participants of soak tests are usually limited to the members of Motorola's support forum, and the program is rarely commented on in any official capacity. Moto is breaking that trend for the Moto X's Lollipop release: Motorola employee Luciano Carvalho has confirmed that the test is going out and answered a few questions on his Google+ profile.
https://plus.google.com/+LucianoCarvalho/posts/HcUKVhLh84P
Moto usually sends out an over-the-air update for the device in question anywhere from one to six weeks after the soak test, so 2013 Moto X users shouldn't have to wait too much for an official Lollipop build.
SORRY IT'S 5.0.2 not 5.0.1
The version you would be getting is 5.0.2 not 5.0.1 . Sorry for it :good:

According to the blog, it is stated that these upgrades are not set in stone yet, and they may change the list of devices that will get the upgrade.
We can still hope.

Since the internals of the Moto G 2014 is very similar to the Moto G 2013, I am hoping that they might roll out 6.0 to our devices also.
Fingers crossed.
I think I'll just wait for the AOSP build from Alberto97.
Same here Buddy @moralesnery
The good news is that Google released the Nexus Android 6.0 images. The bad is that the AOSP isn't updated

some days will pass before wee see the release of the 6.0 code to AOSP.
Bad news, Motorola support page says this about the Moto G (2013)
MOTO G
This device will remain on Android 5.1 (Lollipop)
Do you have the latest Motorola software? Find out.
Shock horror, 2 year old hardware no longer getting updated... Long live custom ROMs.
Having owned a Desire HD and a Sensation which got only one major version upgrade, I'd say the 2013 G had a great run.
Sent from my XT1572 using Tapatalk
It's funny that the 2014 G is exactly the same hardware apart from the camera module and bigger screen (yet same resolution), and is getting the M update.
But yeah, there has to be a cutoff point somewhere even if it's the same product after all. 4.3 -> 4.4.2 -> 4.4.4 -> 5.0.2 -> 5.1, not bad at all! Alberto's AOSP will be excellent as usual.
Oh, well.
We can always count on a great dev to treat us crack-flashers and root junkies with some custom-ROM love.
Thanks XDA DEVs!
I dont think falcon will get it.

It seems that it will keep its outstanding status for quite some time as the entire Moto G series, including the 2013 releases, is reported eligible for an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update.

it this speech even come from Moto IT speak-person?
Don't believe anything unless you see it published in an Official Motorola account (G+,Twitter, Fb) or a serious tech Blog (or here in the news section).
Dont play with my heart
it is sad it wont get official 6.0 since android one phones will get it, also moto e, moto g 2014, etc
it is not about specs, it it just about age
but yes, compared to samsung, and other motorola did a good job, not perfect
i believe nexus 4 should get it too
Hey there Moto G Users! I'll be doing a custom Rom for the Moto G using Marshmallow and Lollipop... MarshPop is what it's going to be called... It maybe released as soon as I work all the bugs out of it... Expect it in the near future though! Since Marshmallow is basically Lollipop with Added features I maybe able to work all the issues out!
Cheers to all of the Developers! P.S. I've worked on the Transform Ultra from Samsung!
Thanks for Participation in reading!

Future Oreo Update

Hi all,
I am excited for the oreo ota which the moto g5 plus is going to receive. I have a few questions. Will Oreo drain more battery and how would it benefit the moto g5 plus. Also will we get an ota to 8.0 or 8.1 and should we expect an OTA to 9.0 in the future because the moto g3 and g4 only received one update.

Looking at how we haven't received any OTA for 7.1 let alone 7.1.2, I'd say it is very much likely that Moto will release an OTA for 8.0 and not 8.1 and definitely not 9.0 because we won't be getting the second major android update coz Moto only promised one major android update than the one that came with the phone. We might have a good run with the custom ROMs though
it's not moto anymore who decides it's ****in LENOVO
Ikr. God the CEO of Motorola and people from Google must be crying. Lenovo has turned Motorola into a cheap Chinese company, so many phones, terrible after market support and no updates. What have they done to Motorola. From two major software updates to just one update and no security patches for the moto g and turning the moto x from a flagship to a mid ranger.
