For all of those who have the pure edition, shouldn't we already have 5.0.1 update? My understanding was that that the updates on the pure edition should be just like the nexus devices. Is this not the case?
No, updates on pure edition are not just like nexus devices . You've been misled. However, the moto x does get updates quicker than most other devices. Again, however, It all depends on the update.
For instance, I heard/read somewhere that the fixes in 5.0.1 are not needed for the moto x because Motorola had already squashed them themselves in the 5.0 update. So Motorola has no incentive to work on releasing a 5.0.1 update. Take that with a grain of salt. I have no sources, (can't remember where I heard it) but someone may chime in with more info supporting that or rebuking it.
But, no, nexus devices will always see updates first.
There was a second build of 5.0 pushed to the PE, but it doesn't fix the problems with Attentive Display or the ringer volume changes on Moto Voice (among other things).
Well, 5.0.1 hasn't even rolled out for the nexus 5 yet, they're still fixing things. Motorola has already released 5.0.1 for the Moto G, so we can expect it soon enough for our moto x as well, once they finish squashing all the bugs. They need to work on Moto Assist, Moto display etc to play well with lollipop so might take some time compared to the moto g which doesn't have any of these additional features
Was just searching the net for past 2 days.... as soon as android 5.1 was released, there is not even a single news/ Rumors about moto x and android 5.1, So i figured
Lets Start a new thread, and something or the other is bound to come up!, got my android L update for MOTO X european version from right here so i figured lets start here.
if anyone has any information let us hear it
from what i found, there's some news on moto g running android 5.1, moto x 2013 being considered.
does that mean, we have lost the top priority :fingers-crossed:
i seem so eager coz this 5.1 is REALLY stable, i have got a nexus 6, just updated it... its smoother, some pesky bugs before, nothing now.
~~~~my moto x is suffering from bluetooth audio stuttering , among other bugs.
Did you see any change in camera quality on your Nexus6?
I mean do you think the new 5.1 will make the MotoX able to shoot in RAW and Camera-2 API will now be supported? Because that is the biggest thing which needs improvement in MotoX, and performance boost will be a boon, rest it seems stable on 5.0 as well.

Interesting, i can check it out , if someone can guide me how to .
P.s. the camera sensor itself is older version so don't expect it to be too good, samsung, oneplus one , oppo , nexus 6 all high end devices in latter 2014 use IMX 214 or IMX 240.. which are both 2014 released sensors ... On the other hand MOTO X uses IMX 135, which is released on JANUARY 2013, 2 years old now, Motorola has a reputation for increasing their, profits by using atleast one old part in their fabulous devices (HINT: moto 360, ti processor is sooo old, its parent company stopped supporting it and it drains battery too, could have easily used snapdragon400 but.... moto)
Moto X Pure Edition ( XT1095)
Well I'm searching daily for Moto X 2014 android 5.1 update but I'm not able to find anything. I had Nexus 6 I sold one week before 5.1 update, but I've tried it on my brothers Nexus 5 and its was really fast, especially the dialer app feels snappy now(but that was factory reset so not confident about that yet)..
Would love to hear more about Moto X 2014 android 5.1 update

Motorola contacted people about a week ago about participating in a soak test for the Pure Edition. So far the update hasn't rolled out to anyone.

As @chrisrozon says, there is no oficial release out yet of 5.1 for any victara (xt1095, xt1097, xt1092, etc). What is "out there" is a leaked soak test OTA. It's working but clearly unfinished; it has some serious battery draining wakelocks for some people.
Anyway, as soon as 5.1 is officially released (or after a few days if you're cautious), most people with non pure versions will be able to flash it and use it without reflashing original modem, since the new baseband of the xt1095 has been modified to work internationally. At least in latinamerica many of us could use the 5.1 soak with no baseband modification.
So if you're planning to convert your moto x to pure edition, i advice to do it once the 5.1 official release is out.
Cheers!
Manuel.
Hi Guys!
Recently Motorola released release notes for Android 8.1 for Moto G5s Plus.
But unfortunately Motorola has removed that release note from their website. And I don't know why.
Looks like Motorola had accidently released those notes.
Here's that release note webpage.

Is it possible the update notes were meant for soak testers and not for general release?

It's possible this is a cheap chinese company doing what cheap chinese companies do - cut corners at every turn to make a profit from something somebody else designed; in this case motorola branded phones running android. We knew the upgrade process was an afterthought for them, and now we know they can't handle PR/marketing related functions properly either. They're probably oblivious to the fact that people are disappointed. "What's the problem? We get a request for information about oreo and we point you at the now nine month old web page which says "yes, you'll get oreo" - what more do you want?".
Yes, look this now.

I don't understand this.
It's a security patch update notice. As it says.

the thing is that the Z play has got oreo release notes before the soak test started...
By the looks of it. We might have to wait longer for Android Oreo to be released for our precious Moto G5S plus. It is unfortunate because I really love Motorola's phones. They have been lacking it when it comes down to the new Android operating systems.
Take a look at this chat, they're not even giving proper responses.
The link he had mentioned is of APRIL'S Security Update
New update comes out today OTA (reteu). It's 8.0.0 with 07/2018 patch. Nothing else.
Damn.. I was expecting it to be Android 8.1 + June/July security patch just like Moto X4 ( non Android One version ) received few days ago. But well.. better than nothing.

Yes, that's funny for a 799€ business phone. But maybe we get android P first before all other moto phones it get.
Nothing on retin model , still 01/May/2018 patch.
Also i cant see Patch details under Security & Location. Is it normal for Z2 Force bcoz even my Moto Z shows it

Yes, this will roll out step by step. Please keep patiently. Can take few days or weeks until reached by everyone.

This is Lenovo (Moto) , it updates Mid range phones more than Flagships. if i see Android P coming to Moto G5/S/S+ or even Moto Z2 play is ahead in terms of updates (like it was already running June/July patch) its not a new thing for me
Sent from my Moto Z2 Force using XDA Labs
No no, Z serie get always 2 major releases. I think that's because we directly get android P (maybe first after Z3?) And an another reason is how many devices could sold in a time. Z2 Force maybe not so good as the cheap ones
Don't know the plans, but maybe Z2 Play get Android 8.1 as last update and the better Z2 Force Android 9.0, because it's the most expencive device. We will see

Hope so..but i am using moto since 2013 and always moto have done same thing eg. Only 1 major upgrade to G2,G3 but 2 major upgrade for Moto G4+ (Oreo for 2016 phone!);. Moto X Force (35K INR)got update till Android 7.0 , no VoLTE enabled but Moto X Play (17K INR) got Android 7.1.1 + VoLTE
The think is about their 2 major OS relases. Lets take our eg.(India) Moto Z2 Force was released in Feb2018 with Android O while it's been a available from 2017 with Android 7.1.
Now i cant understand will moto update this to P or Q .
Sent from my Moto Z2 Force using XDA Labs
Z2 Force will definitely get P. It would be a HUGE mistake and disrespect for the "high end consumers" if Lenovo don't update it.
Probably we're going to skip 8.1 and go straight to 9.0.
That way they keep their promise of 2 Android's version update.
But I doubt that we will get Android Q.

Still the same patch :angel: . No update , CC reports this is the latest update. The Moto Software Experience is far better in cheaper phones like G5S+ , Z/Z2 play and all:angel: eben they have got updated system apps with new icons like Dialer , Contacts , File manager etc.. and we still have the same ones from 2017 :angel:

So a good phone like this with better specs. But gets nothing new or exciting. But the lower end phones gets all the glory.. I think Moto is backwards in that aspect.. Were as other like Samsung, LG, HTC will give better upgrades to higher end phones, then they will the lower to mid range ones.. I would also like to see more rom options for this phone. But hey it is what it is.. This is why I have only rooted, and debloated my phone.. Nothing to see here LOL.

This phone isn't so expensive anymore. Costs at the moment around 280€, so it's cheaper than Moto G6 Plus. Maybe that's why we get no android 8.1 or anything new. But android P we will get for sure. Or we can see it so, that we have a most stable phone. And new features maybe just for phones with good sales figures. Z2 Force is maybe not a box-office hit
And yes, I have paid more for this phone, too. But that's not the point, right?

Are you on Tmobile? Im still stuck on the May 1st security patch
Taking system updates
I'm rooted and running magisk manager on my Z2 Force (December 2017 security patch), does anyone know the steps I have to take to accept an OTA update?
It's currently unsuccessful when I try and I assume it's because I'm rooted, so I uninstalled magisk manager but it still won't successfully update. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for anyone's response!

You need to go back to stock. There is a thread for it. I'm not at my computer now so I can't link to it but look and you'll find it very easy to find. Then you will have to reboot again. You do not need to relock the bootloader

It Dosent depend on the current value , after months the Moto G6plus will be more cheaper than this. Also the Box price of this is much higher than Moto G6Plus and considering its a high end phone.
In India its still at ₹34999 and Moto Z (2016) at ₹29990.
Moto only considers the sale of the phone not the price segment.

I have just bought a moto g5s plus...after upgrading from Lenovo k5. So I was wondering if we should expect a Pie rom in the near future. I'm a newbie so I was wondering if this phone can run a 64bit os(android pie). I really don't have any idea about any "bit conversion" or if its possible or not...I would really love to receive some response from this community regarding this issue.
Thank You,
