I know the Moto X is not really a nexus device. But if you buy the pure edition which is carrier free, how soon do you usually get updates from google? The nexus gets it right away I hope you don't have to wait months after the release of an OS update to get it on your Moto X..

Hello All,
I am reaching out to the community to ask a couple of questions, the main one being did anyone with the Moto X Dev Edition receive the OTA that the standard edition did? I only ask because I am considering upgrading from my standard, carrier unlocked Moto X (that still hasn't been updated) to an official T-mobile Dev edition. I could use the extra space and plus I like the upside of being able to resale it at a higher price once I'm ready to upgrade again.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
CM

Yes, my Verizon Dev Edition received it, and you know Verizon is always going to be the last to release OTA updates.

No doubt. It seems that the order of updates is T-Mobile>US Cellular>AT&T>Verizon..
Thanks again man!
So Verizon seems to have a tendency to kill the phones and updates for their customers. It seems like they dont approve certain things in advance so the updates for phone always come extremely late for verizon phones. I dont knot the specific terms for what I am talking about but I am sure most of you understand what I am talking about.
Anyways, it's time for my phone upgrade and I am strongly considering getting the Moto X. I am curious if this has or appears that it will be a problem in the future for the Moto X? I hate when companies dont release or approve certain information and therefore we get updates months after people with the same phone on other carriers get them.
Any advice would be appreciated, and sorry for being somewhat vague.
Thanks!
So you're talking about the phone that got upgraded to kitkat first?

The phone that got the Kit Kat OTA before the Nexus devices?
If you're staying with VZW, then the moto X is your best bet for fast upgrades. I'm not positive, but I think Moto phones are the only phones on VZW which are running 4.4.
Carriers deserve some of the blame for upgrade latency, but truthfully most of it is on the hardware makers side. The GNex on VZW was an interesting and more complex case. I don't see the Moto X having the same issues.
Droid Razr/Razr Maxx is still getting OTAs. I got one this morning for mine and that phone came out in January 2012. And as others mentioned, the Moto X was the first phone to get an OTA of 4.4.
Thanks for everyones feedback. I was a bit torn on my next phone but I think im going to go ahead and order my X tonight Looking forward to something different from the GNex!
Perhaps this is a stupid question, and if so I have no doubt at last a few people will let me know, but I purchased an AT&T Moto X which I used on Go Phone for 6 months, after which I unlocked and switched to Straight Talk. My question is, with AT&T now doing soak tests on 4.4.4, will I still get the update since I'm no longer an AT&T customer? And if not, how can I update when it's available? Thanks guys.
Yes, you will get AT&T updates, as long as AT&T releases them. But I am pretty sure AT&T will not release any updates for Moto X.
AT&T doesn't actually release or distribute the update, it's all done by Motorola. AT&T only has to approve of the build before Motorola can release it. The update comes straight from Motorola servers, and whether you're using AT&T or not is irrelevant when it is distributed.

I got this from @hungryoungman
"Confirmed - Following phones to be updated to Android L on the same day. Samsung: GS5, Note 3&4 ; HTC One M8; Moto X 1&2; Nexus 4,5,7,9."
Pure Edition means it is not tied to a specific carrier. Updates will come direct from motorola.
Pure Ver. Price it different?

the pure version is unlocked and not tied to a carrier. since it's not subsidized, you have to pay the full price for it.

Thank you.
So then will be a "convert to pure edition" utility... For software updates more efficiently?
What?!?!? No, you have to purchase the pure edition at full price. You don't update to pure edition.
It means it haven't been violated and perverted by AT&T and Verizon.

I don't think it's that easy with the Moto X, probably end up with a brick, but you're free to try.
Hi,
I just bought the Moto X from At&t (contract). I hear that the PE is already getting Android 5.0 Updates! Is there any chance the I can get those updates? I do not mind purchasing unlock codes etc.
If not, any idea how long At&t will take to infect the 5.0 update with their stuff and send out the updates? Or should I just return this and purchase the Pure Edition.
Thanks

Supposibly the XT1095 (Pure) is getting a soak test from what I am reading. If you have the money I would recomend getting that over the AT&T version. I currently have the XT1095 and using it on AT&T.
Either are great phones, however with the AT&T version your locked to AT&T and locked boot loader.
If money isn't an issue, return it and get the Pure Edition. No bloatware, and it has an unlockable bootloader and is very easily rooted. Otherwise, just sit tight, your X will get official lollipop VERY soon.
