And why does it take so long?

When, I cannot say for sure. Likely very soon. As to why, this gizmodo article gives an excellent explaination:
http://gizmodo.com/5987508/why-android-updates-are-so-slow
The part you are interested in is called "The Big Hold-up".

I asked motorola and at&t and they don't know when either when 4.4.3 will be released

I use a Developer Edition on the AT&T network and I got the update last Thursday.

That's the retail version. Not AT&T. Those are update by Motorola.

it depends. The updates for the X seem to be rotating as to which carrier gets it first. The one Update, Verizon was first. Another Sprint was first. This one T-Mobile/GSM Unlocked is first.
But there is no "set amount of time"

Since they sell these phone for free with contact... We might not ever get an update from att...

I have 4.4.3 on my nexus 7. Honestly there's nothing to get excited about.

HTC Android 4.4.4 Discussion [Released 10/28/14]

Seems like there is an update scheduled for our phone's in the coming weeks...

Neat

I'll believe it when the update hits my phone.

Doesn't matter to me. I just want to know what difference will it really make? Is this an update just to keep the users happy and make them feel like HTC got their back?
I'm not knocking them or anything, because I certainly don't see myself choosing another manufacturer any time soon...but why claim that 4.4.4 changes were baked into 4.4.3, then give it to use anyway?

5.0 is more worth the wait than that 4.4.4

It will probably address some of the issues some users were experiencing with wifi calling and gps.

We need to wait for a Sprint OTA.

Exactly,
Everyone its the firmware we need and also i can only speak for myself but i want a new radio too! the int rom is nice to have those new features but without the updated firmware and radios it really makes it not worth it.
I am sure the OTA will be here any day now. Fingers crossed
Cheers

Looks like Verizon is getting the 4.4.4 tomorrow shouldn't be much longer.

Must be that WiFi Calling fix slowing down the update.

Ah yes, that's probably it. Forgot about that since I stopped using it.

Opinions Needed!

Hi everyone. I currently maintain the bounty thread for the Moto X. As I am unsure of its future I have ordered a Moto X Pure Edition. I am currently an unlimited VZW customer, however, I am wondering if what you guys think I should do.
I could keep the unrooted VZW Moto X or use the Pure Ed. with only VZW LTE coverage. What are your thoughts?

Come on really?

Pure edition will only work with TMO or ATT

And why would you order the pure and not know if you were going to use it anyway. Maybe ask this before placing the order.

Upon bootup it shows LTE and then briefly afterwards it shows no network. Guess the decision has been made for me.

No 6.0 on T-Mobile?

So I ordered my new Nexus 6 from Ebay brand new $300 shipped Then I find out that 6.0 is not even out yet for the Nexus 6 on T-Mobile, what the heck is that about? 6.0 came out like a month ago and all other Nexus devices are on it. What is going on with the T-Mobile version?

6.0 has been available for all carriers for a month or better. It's one unified build MRA58K 6.0.

sure, its out. you can get it right here and install it manually https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
tmobile might not have approved the update yet, just like verizon, att, and sprint. but it is out officially, and you can install it yourself easily.

No, nuh-uh, nope. All of the Android 5 updates had a T-Mo fork. It's becoming apparent that T-Mo is forking 6.0 for VoLTE and their own apps. I flashed the factory image of M from Google. It worked fine for about a month but I notice a few random reboots. It was annoying but not terrible. Then yesterday, my N6 started rebooting about every 5 minutes. I ran it in Safe Mode to see if an app was causing it but I was still getting the reboots. I thought that I might have a corrupt factory image. So I flashed an new download to the phone. Still no such luck. I finally downgraded to 5.1.1 and took all the OTA security patches. I'm already on the November patch but at least my phone is stable again. I think there may be some validity to the T-Mo N6 being a bit of a red-headed step child (aka VZW Galaxy Nexus).
Read through the various forums and T-Mo's own support site and you'll see that these reports are becoming more frequent where T-Mo N6 users flashing Marshmallow are ending up with a very less than stellar OS.

I've been running 6.0 on T-Mobile since it came out with no issues - B12, VoLTE, WiFi calling working perfectly fine... No reboots, no hiccups...

Wait is the OP talking about a T-mo branded N6?

I'm on T-Mobile, the reason I would like the update is to have the APN setting. I have to play with mine after every flash to get MMS working. I think I've figured it out, but it is a pain. Pure nexus 6.0 is working awesome now

What build name?
EDIT:
Never mind a search turned up this.
http://www.tmonews.com/2015/11/t-mo...ate-approved-expected-to-start-arriving-soon/
Build MRA58X
So I guess this will be the official T-Mobile build for M.

Finally! Downloading 6.0 now.

Wait! Set up mitm and capture the ota download link!

No, they are random. I think they are supposed to go out over the course of a week or two.
I would imagine someone will grab the OTA URL soon if they haven't already so you can sideload it if you are impatient. Also possible that they will get the factory image up if you have an unlocked bootloader. T-Mobile's factory image was a little slow to be available in the past.

MRA58X from LVY48I
I got MRA58X on my Nexus 6 by first flashing back to LVY48I.
Here's the OTA link for those who don't want to wait:

It looks like there's some crap at the end of the link. I think the forum is adding that because I edited my post and there's nothing else there at the end. Just copy and paste the link and remove the junk at the end

Any 6.0 Updates?

Sorry if this is the wrong section. Quick question though, Does anyone have any updates on the 6.0 Update? I keep receiving small 35 mb updates but no big updates.

Nobody knows when 6.0 will come out.

They rarely say anything to they are about to release it. ATT also takes the longest out of all 4 major carriers
