We've had leaked versions from Motorola's staging servers since February, and Motorola sent out an invite to potential soak testers in March (which they have not yet acted on).
I don't really expect much out of an update other than kernel and radio updates (I get everything else from the awesome ROMs by our devs), but I'd still like to see something come out!!
So, with that in mind, please feel free to rant and speculate below.
I wouldn't be surprised with nothing coming in the future.
Because Motorola is a whore.
I've seen a couple of posts on various forums with peole receiving replacement or new Droid 3s that already have the 906 update installed. It's possible they've just decided to skip the soak test and are planning to push the update soon. Of couse this is entirely just speculation.

My replacement Droid 3 came with the .906 update already installed. Hopefully they'll roll it out soon so the fastboot files will leak

My brother's replacement he got last week came with 890. Was kinda of happy about that since there's not way back from 906 last time i checked.
D2 and D4 Received Updates This Week
DroidForums.net reported on their Twitter feed that updates for the Droid 2 and Droid 4 rolled out on Monday and Wednesday, respectively. Hopefully we'll see something soon for our phone!
I hadn't seen that (but then again, I don't do much twitter so no surprise I guess
I am really considering just installing the 906 update anyway, but if this is coming soon I'd rather the official update.

Are there really NEW new Droid 3's out there with .906? I can understand a refurb coming with it (due to some flaw in the refurb process where Moto forgets to do a true factory reset on a user-updated device). It's all speculative as you say, but that would be a good sign...
No

Yeaah babbyy! I guess the everyday updates of Google Apps is not just a coincidence?
Well, let's hope for the best!
So does the time of release of an update correlate to posting a changelog to AOSP? Like in the past how long has passed between changelog and update hitting 100% of phones? I am still assuming they are using IO to announce the release for some reason.

Probably is coincidence since they've been updating each Google app multiple times for the past few weeks. Remember there's a tablet going to be released soon so that probably is why we've had so many app updates too.

I think this KitKat update is coming before Google I/O conference in June. Remember, back in March, Android 4.4.3 was first rumored for mid-April. U.S carrier Sprint even jumped the gun and posted 4.4.3 OTA update promise "now" in mid-April, then sheepishly had to remove it from their public pages a week later. Of course we are now well into the month of May... Not sure why the delay, but I still think it's coming before I/O.
But I think 4.4.3 is minor bug squasher KitKat update that will come before the NEXT Android release with the Nexus 8 tablet announcement at the I/O conference in LATE June (June 25 - 26). Remember product "announcement" does not mean "release". Nexus 8 tablet and next version of Android will be announced at END of June, then will probably be released sometime in July.
Whatever is announced at end of June I/O will NOT show up before July. I just can't see this 4.4.3 waiting until JULY.
It's getting close to I/O ,the 4.4.3 ota is still not released....

Yes, but 4.4.3 will still probably come before then (I/O is June 25) -- because whatever is ANNOUNCED at I/O will not be RELEASED until July. We are now in the first week of May. 4.4.3 could still be released next week as bug squasher update.
Then in late June at I/O, Nexus 8 tablet and next version of Android ANNOUNCED. Then in July Nexus 8 tablet ships with NEW version of Android, the one AFTER 4.4.3.
I just can't see Google waiting TWO MORE MONTHS to release a basic bug fix update. So far from the changelog, that's all 4.4.3 is. Surely with Nexus 8 tablet they will want at least a couple new features as selling points.
Also U.S. Sprint wouldn't have posted the 4.4.3 announcement page back in mid-April if the release wasn't imminent. Sure they jumped the gun, but they were apparently led to believe it was coming then. I still think it's coming before May is over, due to flurry of Google app updates.

No, because Google never posted a changelog to AOSP before. While it is exciting, the changelog was posted 3 weeks ago and hardly means anything is imminent. Plus, the changelog is very flawed in that it shows all changes since 4.4 not the last release. It seems the posting to AOSP was an accident I would imagine.

When has sprint ever released anything on time or been a reliable source??
I'm sure most of us remember when the galaxy s3 came out waaayyy before their LTE/4g was ready. Just throwing that out there.
As for 4.4.3. All we can do is wait. Because it'll be dropped when we stop caring. Haha.

Oh I don't know. It's not like Sprint RF engineers and testers have Spark enabled Nexus 5 running around for months which is explicitly included in the 4.4.3 update..
Fact is Google have to coordinate the rollout of 4.4.3 with their partners (carriers) to make sure the phone doesn't screw up anyones network. Google told the carriers (Sprint) that their update was ready and they're about the push it.
Sprint is notified and have confirmed that the update that is relevant for them (activation of band 26 / 41) is completed so they put the change log up. Google or one of the partners finds a problem and halts the rollout before it begin.
So now we all wait.
Did Google just take down the 4.4.3 changelog page? What the hell does that mean?

Yup I get the error 404
Hi Guys,
I am pretty blind when it comes to these things so if its been answered, I am sorry - politely direct me to thread of origin.
Anyway, I am wondering with all the News of the Soak Test, generally after the pure edition update comes out, how long does it take for the Verizon update? Is the update regulated for the most part or does it take Verizon considerably more time after release for them to add their bloatware? Should I expect it a few weeks after pure edition OTA (RTM) is released or what?
Thanks - Any feedback is appreciated.
Regards - HMPace

At the beginning of the thread they discussed when the update could possibly happen. Nobody knows when it will hit, but certainly before the end of November.

Sure, I read through that thread and I understand that General Consumption Update will happen soon (likely before end of November) but does this also apply to the Verizon model as well; Lets say in a month time the update get pushed out to all T-Mobile Pure Edition Moto X's will Verizon users have to wait longer? Do Verizon and AT&T Phones get the update at the same time? (as they are different models)...

But in any case I shouldn't have to wait to next year say to get update, it will be pushed in somewhat a timely manner? I have seen a lot of threads where Carriers have delayed an update months to add bloatware, but I guess this is different been a close to stock phone. that is tightly linked with google philosophy.

I definitely think the update will happen before the end of November. Hopefully shortly after the Nexus 5. I think you're right about the stock software not slowing the update down.
We're in uncharted territory here, there's no historical precedent to refer back to so literally no one knows anything.

Anyone received OTA for Marshmallow on T-mobile?
If you received, when did you received it?
Negative on my end still waiting prob gonna root soon
Stll waiting but got it on my N5 on 10/8 (AT&T) and on my N9 on 10/14.
Been waiting for this myself. Checked T-Mobile's software update site and is still shows Android 6 as "In Testing" for the N6.
its not in testing, marshmallow has been released for the nexus 6. just go grab the factory image, and apply it yourself, manually.
Yes, their specific build, IS in testing.
Currently available build is stock Google build. "Should" work well enough as a daily driver. But I'm sure T-Mobile will make some tweaks for WiFi calling and band 12

Google has tested it. But T-Mobile is still doing acceptance testing. Click the Nexus 6 link on this interactive page at T-mobile.s site. At this moment, it shows the status to be "T-Mobile Testing," which is described as this: "During this stage, the device will go through T-Mobile certification process testing to make sure you get the best quality software possible."
Flashed manually. WiFi calling works just fine.

Yes. No one will stop you. But "can" does not necessarily equal "should." There are reports in this forum that there might be issues specific to T-Mobile when this build is flashed. Maybe that's why they call it "testing."

i use tmobile. i am running marshmallow. i dont have any issues. and i don't read ANY issues here regarding any tmobile specific issues. if theres any specific issues that you are talking about, maybe you would care to enlighten me?
edit..
i just read what you linked, and im in that thread as well. thats an issue that you will see reported every single release. and its usually a very few that report it.
I used factory images. No problems on T-Mobile so far

There have been questions about Mm6 on the Nexus6 and T-Mobile band12 support.
The Nexus6 was one of the two or three phones to support band12 on release. Since then, T-Mobile has built out and converted a lot of their towers to band12, and there have been rumors recently that they no longer want the N6 to be able to use band12.
I don't understand those rumors and press reports.
There are also disturbing reports from T-Mobile users who are on Mm6 that their Nexus6 no longer supports band12 without reverting to the last Lollipop radio.
So, I am holding off installing Mm6 OTA on my new Amazon-bought N6, even though it was offered when my Cricket/AIO prepaid SIM was in place as soon as I first booted.
Band12 is important, and will become more important, on T-Mobile.

I have already discussed this with LG and their dev team. The Flex (any variant) Will NOT receive Lollipop. Due to the sheer amount of bugs and software issues. Unless they are blowing crap loads of smoke like always. Rumor has it though, the Flex will most likely be receiving 6.0 marshmellow. During Q1 of 2016.

Doesn't really make much sense for the G Flex and the G Pro 2 to not be updated to 5.1 due to "software issues" while their smaller sibling with almost identical hardware, the G2 seems to be getting it.
Anyways, here's hoping against hope that we'll see 6.0 someday.
Hmm....the site says that they have released 2 updates already for 5.1??? Why would they give the D959 an update and not anyone elses?
Oh wait.....this other link says that it wasnt really a Lollipop update but just a heavy OTA...

G Flex didnt received Lollipop yet, and LG is simply deceiving and cheating people and thats a bad thing. It may cause your loyal customers to go away from LG. LG must Listen and thinks of its strategy. Its a shame that the Most Premium device isnt upgrading to latest firmware wheras the lower devices are already updated to Lollipop
Is it possible to get a dev to cook a rom for us? Or has the source code for the flex been locked out and thats why no one has attempted to even try till now?
