Hey guys,
does anyone have any infos if there will be an update to JB 4.2.2?
THX
When no official info over a device's official update is available, one may estimate it (whether the update will be coming out sometime) this way:
From the manufacturer's point of view, one may estimate how much is it worth it to invest on an update for a specific device with the following formula for approximation, in a scale from 0 to 100 or a percentage if you may:
{[(Developer Salary per Hour)*(Number of developers in update team)*(Number of effective hours needed to roll update, including testing and debugging) / (number of devices for the specific model divided by your overall number of current devices in the market)]^-1}/(.000001)
So assuming for instance that:
Developer Salary per Hour = $10
Number of developers in update team = 5
Number of effective hours needed to roll update = 240
number of devices for the specific model divided by your overall number of current devices in the market = .1 , in the case of the XT890 (this represents pretty much the market share of the particular product)
We would have:
((10*5*240 /.1)^-1)/.000001 = 8.33333333333
Thats 8.33 out of 100!
Now a lot of these numbers are a "guesstimation" but I think they should be close to the real thing, and if I was Motorola and saw this number I would most definitely not invest in rolling out yet another update.
Sad, huh?
I don't think Moto will waste time and money updating to 4.2. JB 4.3 is arround the corner.
What's the difference between 4.1 and 4.2 ? Photosphere ? It's not worth all the hard work.
Do you remember RAZR D1 and D3 launched in Brazil ? It came with JB 4.1 with the promisse to be updated to the next version of Android, but Motorola hasn't specified WHICH version of Android and there's no date to be launched. All RAZR devices are now on JB.
Looking this way : They'll update straight to 4.3 and launch new RAZR devices (the support for the current RAZR generation will be over), or, wait until Key Lime Pie in the end of 2013.
Just a matter of information, Intel has already ported 4.2 to x86 in the beginning of this year.
As long time Moto User i can tell you, that Moto is extremely slow, when it comes to Updates. We waitet for ICS on the XT910 almost one year (atleast for the official Release)

Initially, yeah. But the 4.1 update didn't take as long for the XT910. In fact, the XT910 had 4.1 before some HTC models got it (and some populaur HTC models still don't have 4.1 or 4.2, including the One). So that's not slow at all. I agree, they are still lagging behind but they're not as slow anymore as they used to be. They're improving.

Bump? *hopeful*
Before the end of the year - but they don't say which year. I expect the Razr M might get it before the i, as there is talk of soak tests. Being Intel may delay things a little but no one has had any conformation as yet. Not much help

I don't think Intel delaying anything. Intel published x86 jelly bean image early September.
Jelly bean for x86 is ready... It's now only a mater of Motorola to integrate it.

I didn't mean Intel themselves may cause a delay more being an Intel phone may delay things against the S4 razr m. Not seen the info in your link so looks promising. Thanks for posting that.

There are server logs which show 4.1.1 for the Razr I so it is currently being tested. I expect it within a few weeks.

A new 4.1.2 log showed up today and its definitely a testing build... I'd say it's possible for the end of the year for an update, but it's more reasonable to say early 2013.
the razr m just got jelly bean...
I've asked about soak test buy got nothing bk

GOOD NEWS! - Reply from Motorola Brazil
I just spoke with Motorola Brazil and they representant just told me that Motorola is already updating the devices razr I and HD to jelly bean, in a random way.
I asked confirmation and he confirmed as we can see in the print screen (it is in portuguese, if someone does not believe, try to translate in google translator).
Hopefully, Motorola will surprise us.
Cara na boa. Ta meio enrolado esse update.
We wait a long period for this. Is this moment nothing in OTA. Wait...Wait..

quick translation:
- how may i help?
- is there any precise date you can give me for the release of JB for the razr I?
- Motorola has already made it available for this model, however, it is being done in batches OTA, i ask that you wait for the notification in your device
- for the razr I? really?
- or the razr HD?
- JB has been made available for the razr I and razr HD, it is predicted that it will be available for all of the razr line till march/2013
- but i see no one talking about JB being available for the razr I online, only for the HD
- when i try it myself, it says there's no update
- is there a faster way? through legitimate channels?
- as i said it is being done in batches OTA and is not available on the motorola web site
- i understand
Motorola website updated to reflect a Q2 2013 rollout for JB 4.1
http://goo.gl/N1hlf (from motorola.com/os)
Verizon Wireless website indicates update is "coming soon" now
http://goo.gl/s73Ym (from support.verizonwireless.com)
The VZW site is still for ICS not JB.
Great part is this should really help the devs make fully working ROMs. I'll stick with my JB 4.2.2 rom and I'm sure they will update it withing a couple weeks of JB coming out.
Sweet! Can't wait!
I can upgrade in June, but I might as well keep this phone for a little longer. Not sure if the Google/Motorola X phone will be out by then anyways.
Yeah I agree. Cm10.1 is great and if moto finally put out theirs it should make the remaining issues disappear.

A question to the society (any inside info?) : do you think there is a chance that our Razr i gets the Moto developed, stock 4.3?
On paper, it would fit within the magic 18 month Android dev horizon.
Any ideas on this?

I've searched and found nothing about Razr i being updated to android 4.3, but I think it will. There's no excuses to not update our smartphone.
lol, i would be happy if they give us at least JB 4.2.2

Intel has finished porting 4.2 to x86 this year. It's just a matter of Motorola to start to work with. There's planty of chance that Moto will update our device to 4.2. 4.3 it's hard to say,but if you see any news about intel porting 4.3, it's a hope.
4.2 is officially on Motorola's plans, and the last released schedule mentions it coming by October. Let's see if they can do it as promised.
Now that the Moto X is getting a fact, and more and more is known about specs and prizes (http://www.thefullsignal.com/motoro...rola-x-moto-x-specs-price-release-date-rumors) I wonder:
1, will Moto give us also the 4.3 update (and if yes, when?)?
2, if no 4.3 update for the Razr-i: do you think it is worth to trade our beloved Razr i for a Moto X; pretty cheap, with the newest Android version, fancy sensors -but with a lower clock (benchmark?) speed than the Razr i?
Any ideas/ feelings about?
I think there will be no 4.3 for razr i. And about Moto X - I will wait until it´s available and well tested. I will not give up the advantages of my razr i like excellent signal reception and long standby. If the Moto X can do better (or at least equal), I will think again.

my motorola experience with updates is bad (i was a defy owner and only thanks cyanogenmod and quarx (the dev) i could realize updates to jb4.1 (cm10)).
mabe motorola will change this behaviour now because owned by google, but i don't believe it. i believe the razr i hardware can run jb4.3 and maybe even the future android 5, but my motorola experience makes me fear, that we will never see those updates.
Well I hope at the time when 4.3 is released. cyanogenmod will hopefully be available for the razr i :fingers-crossed:
+1
Any real custom rom would be great.

it does not depend on 4.3 but on porting CM to Intel-cpu.

Which brings up the next question :
Would the multi-core CPU of the Moto X beat our Medfield CPU in terms of speed, snappiness? As for me: fastest phone (Iphone/android) I ever had!
Why wouldn't they? Intel's got libs ready, Motorola is about to come back to life and this phone is not even a year old... It should be updated, and if it doesn't, they should at least release the libs so cm can do it. Now Motorola is owned by Google, things should change
If not 4.3 i'd be happy with 4.2
So does anyone know an ETA of when Lollipop is coming to this phone? It's been quite some times since they actually confirmed it coming but does anyone have an actual release date? I was waiting for ROOT (which I can live without anyways) but I want DEM Lollipop features!
Also was there a Soaktest for this?
when Motorola and Verizon decide.
hopes and rumors says mid february
wich year i don t know
Is better to be patient because lollipop still have many errors

Dont expect anything before february
some post on Google plus says the Maxx will be updated soon at Lollipop
https://plus.google.com/110587026141482969464/posts/djnUrH3b4cc
It will come when it comes. They are working hard to make sure the Lollipop release we get is bug-free, including fixing some of the bugs that Google refuses to fix which plague the Nexus devices. "Current estimate" is Jan-Feb for the more popular devices, but nothing is set in stone. It all depends on what crops up during the process.
