Moto X now a Lenovo phone

We all knew it was coming, but it looks like Motorola has finally officially changed hands from Google to Lenovo. I went to their site this morning and got a new flash animation site entry trailer that said Motorola a Lenovo Company. The 2014 X was certainly a product of the Google era, it will be interesting to see which way it goes now.

As long as they don't screw with quick updates and the performance of these phones, I don't care.

Well i ordered my moto x yesterday through motomaker. It already has been assembled and is now shipping from shenzen. I have to say i am living in Germany

Shouldn't really change much for these devices, Google is still in the works with Motorola due to the Nexus 6. So in terms of "3rd parties" outside of Google, Moto should be getting the updates for L out the quickest (helped by their stock approach as well).

It's still A "Motorola" phone. Parent company changing doesn't suddenly change that.

You must be joking right ?

Motorola - An iconic brand with it's own character.
What I want and expect is it remains Motorola forever. I bought my last Moto when company was dying, it was an Atrix 2 which is still my primary and only phone I have been using since more than 2.5 years. That time I though it may turn out my last Moto. But I am feeling so glad and lucky that company bounced back so strongly and today I have few great choices as my upgrade options. :good:
Though would have liked to see ownership of the company would have remained in the hands of Motorola itself or atleast in hands of Google.

Porting Moto G 2014 lollipop to Moto g 2013

As we all know moto g 2014 has got lollipop update and it has been captured then i guess we should start porting it for the moto g 2013 it should be easy as most things are common
Below is the OTA captured link of moto g 2014
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/ota-moto-g-2014-x1064-v22-11-6-t2936931

Why not wait for another week?

I think it's this week, but not tomorrow

Moto g lollipop will not be soon as expected i think bcoz just for the sake of differentiating the handsets a bit. But never know

I think no XDA dev could port it as fast as moto is doing their update release job.

Just wait!
Guys please just be a little patient. Lollipop is coming. Yes, I am excited too but Lollipop is on the way. Motorola/Lenovo is not playing around with this update. It will be here before you know it.

Hahaha... One Lollipop thread is chasing another Lollipop thread...
It's gettin' a bit pathetic ;D
If Motorola confirmed this update, then wait. You should be happy that there will be an update. It would be worse if there wasn't any.
Creating more threads about L doesn't change anything... It's just pissin' off other people

And you keep contributing to all the SPAM posting this comment........... You are doing spam too with your complains... If you hate people comments, just dont enter this threads man, that easy! :good: If waiting an update is pathetic to you, you may know that complaining all the time is way more pathetic. Cheers!

There is no need to constantly create useless threads telling people about how much you're anticipating the 5.0 update. Okay, you're excited.
Stop filling up the forum with old information and pointless port requests.

Moto E (2015)(Gen2)(Update)

2nd gen Moto E, have a look..
key features:
1) Moto voice seems to be pre-installed...see the video...when he will swipe the app drawer take a closer look at top right area of 2nd page.(See pic1)
2) it looks like Motorola came up with a way to utilize Moto Display on the 2nd Generation Moto E without an AMOLED screen - probably similar to how Peek works things (see pic2)
Hopefully, motorola ports these features to motoE gen1 , as there are no hardware changes in both the phones...if no...xda will come up with them very soon !

Updated Info:
Update 2-61-15:
1) it does not have moto voice ..its just a moto assist.
2) there is active display that wakes upon moving the device same as moto x (same. no difference)
3) double flip the device to open camera...again flip once (shake) once to have front camera...

Moto X Force Announced

http://www.motorola.co.uk/products/moto-x-force
I'm a little bit tempted even though it's still a little on the big side. I'd have to see it in the flesh before biting the bullet.
I'll wait for reviews and the build quality.

Lol that's the price we pay for having an Android phone.
If you think it's bad on Android, you'll laugh at how often the Windows phones get updated (never).

No, it was not that bad with my old nexus.
I have to admit one thing: my moto x 2014 is by far from a pure hardware point of view the best smartphone I ever had.
But from a pure software point of view I'm overly deceived. Moto has made a lot of publicity of themselves arguing they are the best at providing updates in a small timeframe, but they never respected their own claims.
If in future I have to choose between an OK smartphone with stellar software support and a stellar smartphone with no guarantee of software updates ( especially monthly security updates ) I will for sure choose the first one.
But yes, other than that Moto X Force looks good

Is the force only available in the UK?

New slap in the face

My LG X 8.3 tablet just got marshmallow, but not my Droid Turbo. Perhaps Verizon should give out condoms with their new smartphones, as they screw everyone over in the updates

I experienced the same feeling yesterday when mine (X 8.3) updated. Really makes me think the lack of update has more to do with Lenovo/Motorola.
I love my turbo as it is, rooted unlocked and Xposed. Just want security updates really.
CM is too unreliable on my Turbo where I live. Full 4G becomes barely 3G. I don't know what my next phone *will* be, but I know it *won't* be a Lenovo/Motorola. Too bad because I love their hardware.

No, VZW deserves the blame. They're notorious for being slow to release anything until they've made it as unhackable as they possibly can.

VZW had NO problem pushing updates to the 2013 Droid phones before almost anyone else...that was when Google owned Motorola...
Now that Lenovo runs the show, we don't get updates...hmmm...
