I know Android 7.0 Nougat just came out, but I'm not really familiar with how quickly Motorola and Lenovo update their devices. I know Verizon slows things down quite a bit, but when do you guys think we'll see N come to the Z Force?

i would guess at least 3 months or more
When Motorola was owned by Google...the Droid phones were some of the quickest to receive updates, VZW was not a problem at all...
Since Lenovo has taken over, updates have come at a rate that would make a snail look like an Olympic sprinter...

The turbo 2 took forever. So long that I sold it and picked up a 6p. So I don't think it would be any worse under Lenovo. Took months for the Turbo 2 to get it so if we get it in a few months that's fine. I'm just glad the z rubs as good as it does.

7 days should of not really mattered. As the other moto's got 6.0 before it. Before the release google should of been working on the update.
No excuse for google. They have been dropping the ball. 7.0 and no new Nexus yet. Then the word that the LG V20 will be the first with 7.0. They are dropping the ball

The fact that it is nearly the end of August and we are still on the May security update should give some indication that an Android 7.0 is not forthcoming in the very near future.
Oh yeah. I forgot about the Turbo 2 before I bought this. This could get very, very bad.

I came from the first turbo, Google owned it then and it was my biggest frustration. Turbo 2 got it months before first turbo. Moto is notoriously slow at os upgrades, always have been with the exception of moto x line.
Let's just say I'm not holding my breath for it coming anytime this year.

It could be
A) An explanation of the direction Motorola will be going with their brand [Very likely]
or
B) Based on the image with the towels, they will announce patterns as a new way to customize your Moto X. Did you want a floral pattern for your back cover? Well.....come Feb 25, YOU CAN! (Not very likely......or maybe :silly
Well,they just got bought by Lenovo... it's normal a press conference to tell public the company perspectives...
hope they didnt change too much on Moto x lines
i mean that will always have fast update,motorola logo,exclusive apps and awesome design
A new watch would be nice. Still waiting for someone to release the must have watch.
I'd rather they announce further support for the Moto X and introduce new features. Some reassurance the design philosophies of the Moto X won't be abandoned for rejoining the spec wars. The guy above me who suggested a higher resolution should be ashamed of himself.

Yes I suspect its this as well.
The deal probably isn't completely finalized yet; i mean this just happened like a week ago. How did they already figure what they gonna do with Motorola. I am not a business person but it just seems kinda too early for that kind of event. My guess would be that they ll talk little bit about lenovo and then announce some new product. Hopefully Moto x 2

I'm searching for many forum and blog official or non official but no one confirm for sure moto g getting 4.4.4 update. But only officially announced update of 4.4.3. Is Google forgetting this device for ever? if this happen than it is bad because when we purchased it, the only reason for it is a Google company.
Okay, if Google run away, I'm going for cm11 for sure. I love to be updated.

Considering that google will most likely unveil 4.5 in two days at their I/O conference - we might just jump ship straight to 4.5, skipping 4.4.4.

Calm freakin' down. We have 4.4.3!!!

4.4.4 is a serious security update. Motorola is certainly pushing the update through the channels now. It is less than 3mb on the Nexus devices so it is a very small update. It has only been out a few days. Motorola had lots of time to prepare for 4.4.3. That is why it was pushed so quick.
Use more exclamation marks please. Also make a new discussion thread every time you get mad too.
Go scrub your lolindian or lolbr with CM11 and don't bother us with useless and meaningless threads.

The Moto X 2014 got the L update before some of the Nexus phones/tablets got it.
http://www.computerworld.com/articl...d-upgrade-report-card-marshmallow.html?page=2
A BIG FAT "F"
Length of time for upgrade to reach current flagship: 65 days (51.6/60 points)
Length of time for upgrade to reach previous-gen flagship: 74 days for the unlocked model -- though with all U.S. carrier models abandoned (0/30 points)
Communication: Poor (0/10 points)
An Android manufacturer has never fallen as fast and hard as what we've seen with Motorola these past couple years. In a matter of months, Moto went from being the shining example of what an Android device-maker should be to being a bitter disappointment Android fans won't soon forgive. (So much for that "nothing will change" transition in ownership, right?)
Following last year's 65% "D" grade for Android upgrades, the Lenovo-owned Motorola gets a big fat embarrassing "F" for the mess it made of this year's Marshmallow rollout. While it did do a reasonably decent (though nowhere near the standard it had maintained in the past) job at getting Android 6.0 out to its current and previous-gen flagships, it did so with one major asterisk: the outright abandonment of all U.S. carrier models of its barely-one-year-old 2014 device.
Worse yet, Motorola stayed insultingly silent on the subject, without so much as an explanation -- let alone any sort of attempt to make things right with customers who had bought into its "ongoing reliable upgrades" message. It was a slap in the face to those who trusted the company, and even if Motorola recovers and manages to do decently well moving forward, it's an incident smartphone shoppers would be wise to remember.
They were excellent when it came to 2013 devices...but those were before the Lenovo takeover if I remember correctly

In the past days the MOTO always says the Verzion Carrier test so long a time,just like droid1/2/3/4 and xt910/926/1030 and so on..
Now its becoming a department of lenovo, i dont think there are still enough development guys who can work with Verzion ones...
So i doubt the 6.0 would finally come with a final-final day or never come out
I really think we won't see it, like the Moto X Play 2014. We'll just get an out-of-the-blue message saying "SORRY". My next phone will be a Nexus, i'm done with Motonovo
Yep, l thinking about a Nexus myself, and see what Project Fi is all about. Sick of Verizon also.
Yea i'm on the same boat as you guys. Nexus may be my next phone.
im still not ready to leave my turbo, i dont need their updates. we have our own right here.

In some cases it may be VZW holding things up...but the 2013 Droids received their updates faster than any phones outside of the Nexus devices...
That was in the Google days, and when Moto first started using the near Vanilla builds of Android...
They are still as close to Vanilla as you can get, but what has changed is Lenovo...
So you do the math

VZW had no problem pushing the updates for the 2013 Droids...they were the first non-nexus phones to get updates...
Wanna know what the difference was? Those phones were made when Google owned Motorola...our phones are under the control of Lenovo...
I have no love for VZW...and while they may slow things down in many cases, the fact remains...if a quality update is delivered to them, they will push it out...

Not quite Metfanant the MotoX 2013 got updated quickly but the Droid Maxx/Ultra always lagged way behind.
In the case of the Turbo all of the other major 2014 flagships on Verizon such as G3, Galaxy S5, One M8 have seen updates to Android M. These are also all older devices than Turbo which makes it even worse. The reality is that the overall user experience will be very similar to what we have now but we at least deserve the bug fixes and security patches with the latest OS.

Yeah I saw that too, the Maxx 2 came out in Oct and I think this is its first update. I used one briefly but it had screen issues so ended up returning it for another turbo.
Just filled out a droid turbo soak test survey let's hope this is a good sign of things to come
I also received an invitation for this.
I thought I signed up for these, but have never gotten one. I really hope this means we get Marshmallow soon!
I guess they didn't like my feedback from the last soak. I haven't gotten anything.
I do hardly believe that Moto X style/pure might get N but there is no official news about it...
I tweeted Moto_Us and Moto_India but got same reply that
"We currently have no info.. For more info kindly stay updated"
Even Moto/Lenovo didnt make any announcement..

I think it will get 7.0 by the end of the year. It got 6.0 pretty fast, and is still pretty much the flagship of Motorola. People just lost hope because of the ignored 6.0.1 update. I'm hoping to switch back to a Nexus anyway so I don't have to worry about updates anymore.

Agreed!
Android 7 will be there!!!
With X-Style there aren't any technical/hardware issue or even a minor reason for not supporting the Android 7. So with this the liability of providing or not providing Android 7 will be with Motorola (Lenovo). Providing with Latest Android version being a USP of Moto phones, there is very chance that they will not risk reputation with this phone by excluding the update.
In-case this is not done for some reason then my steps would be:
1) Root and install Android 7 rom.
2) Buy a new Nexus phone.
3) Collect Invoice of all my Moto phone (Namely: Moto G (8gb), Moto G (16gb), Moto E (4gb), Moto G3, Moto G Turbo, Moto X Style).
4) Submit the collected Invoice plus the nexus invoice to Motorola with update as why they lost a loyal customer.
*Infact I was planing this for the delayed patch, and made my disappointment by tweeting the same to motorola. Were they assured me of early notification of update.*
[rant] motorola sucks/how to kill a perfectly good device
Motorola/Lenovo service has been horrible both in replacing defective hardware and with software updates even though they committed to timely release! They will probably at some point release Nougat on this device but really how long will it take (see where we are with MM updates!!) ? And as far as custom roms are concerned we're seeing so little developper activity for this device that I think everyone has already moved on! This was my first non-Nexus device in a long while and I'm not eager to duplicate the experience. It's really too bad as I really liked the Moto X pure. :crying:
Ffs these threads need to stop. Yes the Moto x pure 2015 will get 7. IT WILL TAKE TIME release of n is rolling out give it a few months
