Lollipop? - Moto X Q&A

Does anyone have any idea when moto x is gonna get lollipop.
Even moto e is starting to get soak tests now

Google edition might get an update, but I don't see AT&T releasing an update. Time frame - your guess is as good as mine!

Soon.

My idea of when the motox will get lollipop is like this;
Wake up one morning and take my phone off the charger, notice email icon on active display. Touch it, "motorola Feedback network"
Take short survey
Wait 2 - 3 days, get system update notification.
Disable xposed, flash stock recovery, take OTA
Xpose Lollipop
???
PROFIT
Might go differently, but thats my idea

Update available tomorrow afternoon??

So...I know I shouldn't believe Verizon reps when it comes down to this ...but I just got off the phone with tech support manager from Verizon trying to get a different phone for my bionic due to data issues. She told if I can hang in there for a day bc new update coming out tomorrow afternoon . I asked her I then can get into a different if it isn't and she me options of any lte device out there or 3g except phone. She told I could then switch to one if update doesn't drop.
I know our community has been given a run around when it comes to updates. Just a fyi that is all.
Oh and it is not ICS its just a update fix for transition 4g-3g and 3g-4g and other "known" problems

I love the first sentence of this post, lol.
Whatever may be, I hope the update comes. We'll see.
If it doesn't come, at least you can get a nexus

looks that way
Since it will be there official update, wonder if anything has been tweaked, changed, etc, from the leaked version that some of us have...
refresh my memory... which update broke webtop?
Does anyone know whether or not forever root will still be valid for this OTA (5.5.893)? I remember p3droid saying do not take any further moto updates as the exploits have been patched...but...
I had data drops 27 times today. I counted and kept track.
This update is long overdue.

I'm with you on that, I go most of the day without data. I have to wait till I get home to use wifi, in lucky if my feeds update. hopefully this will correct the reboots as well.
I have been on 5.6 then 5.7.893, never did the first 5.5.893 but my data drop is definitely alot less often. Maybe only 1x or 2x a week. Its been solid for the last week. Usually when the drop occurs and needs a reboot or airplane mode cycle is when it wakes from sleep.

If my memory serves me correct it was 5.5. 893. They may have made some tweeks though. Someone on the forum in a previous post got the OTA a few days ago and it was 5.5.

I too would like to know.
According to Verizon's lastest list of fixes for the new OTA, is suppose to fix the dreaded BSOD.
I have the leaked version and I still get BSOD. and yes, pocket protection is off.

[Q] A few questions about the Moto X

Just curious if anyone here on AIO Wirelss have conditional call forwarding setup on their AIOP Wireless device. I am switching from Sprint, to come to AIO, and do not want to use the AIO voicemail app
Can someone post their settings if they do know how to set it up, I have been a GVoicemail user for years and don't want to give that up
Also can the AIO wireless VM app be disabled or removed, if I have a none branded Moto X device, I'm not going to root this device, please advise thanks.
Damn, I can't believe not one person with a Moto X is using Google Voicemail ??
You just set voicemail up in the settings of the phone app ad well as in the Google voice app and online in Google voice.

Just to be sure, go to Settings/Calls/Call Forward, and over write the AIO number VM, to my GV number ?? That will only forward calls to GV voicemail, and not all calls to go through GV ??
I finally got the phone, and just noticed it does not have an LED light when charging, looks like that option can only be attained if rooted ??
I assume there is no way to adjust the resolution of a picture taken, you figure that would be something basic with a camera, what was Google thinking ?? who wants to always take a 10 MP picture, to big to email when need to email a bunch of pictures.

Lots of great camera apps on the playstore. I use "a better camera". And I've used camera fv-5 and pro camera. All good apps.

OK, another quick question, just received the notification for the 4.4.2 update, should I take it, or should I wait. Are there any issues, if I take this update will I be able to root if I decide to do so down the rood ?? Any feedback, I did some reading and seem to be getting mixed reviews. I will be on AIO wireless at the end of the month and from what I read I will need this update for proper MMS receiving.

If you purchased it through Sprint I believe you can get your bootloader unlock code for free anytime from the Moto website. It will void the warranty though. So root is available anytime.

No, it is not a Sprint device, I am on Sprint right now with my current Note II, I purchased the Moto X New AT&T branded and unlocked, so just want to make sure before I update it, I have not activated the device, will do so at end of month with AIO.

When you say unlocked you mean the Dev edition? Or carrier/sim unlocked?
If it is not the dev edition I would not update to 4.4.2 if you want root at any point in the future. You need to go through a method from 4.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/orig-development/4-4-root-slapmymoto-1-0-motowpnomo-t2538896

Not Dev edition, Carrier Sin Unlocked. OK, I will wait until I activate my device to AIO and see if I get the MMS, if not then I will either root or take the update, but I am on 4.4 right now, so does that make a difference, or am I too late on rooting on 4.4, if I am too late them I might as well update ??

4.4 is fine. You can still downgrade to 4.2 for the root method, after that though it is not available.

Well I guess not available for now, but might be available down the road,
Still on the fence for updating though, I still have not taken the update, and still not sure I will need to root my device, I have always been rooted on most of my devices for the past years, but I really am not sure if I still need to be rooted, since I really don't tether, and using root apps are just for that, for the purpose of being rooted, LOL anyways, I am still on the fence.

I keep tether for emergencies mostly and Exposed.
A few more questions.
1) is it possible to sideload the Samsung Keyboard ?? without being rooted, is there such a thing or Keyboard.
2) Has anyone on AIO wireless been able to get tethering to work ?? without ROOT

That I already know, but I really love the Samsung Keyboard.
Another thing I get being on AIO wireless is every now and then I get echo feedback often when my buddy calls me from his Sprint device, and I only have the echo. Any clue what is causing this and how to resolve other then hanging up and calling back. ?

[Q] Apps safe to freeze?

I've been looking now for the past hour for a list of apps on our 4.4.2 Moto X that are safe to freeze. Me not finding the list tells me that it's probably right under my nose in a sticky or something but for the life of me I am not seeing it. I realize I am probably blind, but if somebody can link me to the thread (if there is one), I would greatly appreciate it.

My guess is 5.0.2 since they recently released that source
I thought xt1095 was already on 5.0.2, am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong.
I would like to see 5.1 but most likely it will be 5.0.2 unfortunately
I'm curious to which one it will be as well. 5.0.2 or 5.1. It sucks because everyone is blowing up about the first gen soak coming out, but everyone is hush hush about the second gen soak test. Moto has already come out and said yes the first gen soak is 5.0.2. Maybe its a beta test for the 5.1 on second gen before a bigger soak test. Who knows??

I think people are more hush hush about the Second Gen's Soak Test because people seem to know less about what is happening, maybe that is by design, maybe that is just coincidence, but either way there is just less info floating out there about the Soak Test.

All I know is its been a week now and still haven't heard anything. They need to hurry up already. Its probably just 5.0.2. All I know is if the first gen soak happens first I'm gonna be ticked off just a little lol

Why??? The first gen doesn't even have Lollipop yet and it took what seems like forever to get it to work properly with the 8X system. First gen owners have been waiting a lot longer than a week. The second gen has had Lollipop since November. It will come. It's just a waiting game now. I've personally waited two weeks between a soak invite and the test. The one thing that is certain is that it will happen soon.

Active notifications?

I know this is a long shot but I'm coming from a Droid Turbo and I'm really missing the active notifications. Since I haven't been able to find anything on my own I was wondering if anyone has tried getting Moto Actions working on the N6?

That's what I kind of figured would be the case. I knew the Moto Actions were optimized for certain devices only so I guess its time to search the play store for a reasonable replacement. Adaptive display isn't doing it for me

I don't know much of Moto Actions, but you could try this for active notifications? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay
There's also an app called active display but what I miss most from my 2013 moto x is spotlight player
