not sure if anyone else noticed that motorola has a tentative upgrade to ICS list and the atrix 2 is NOT on that list. razr, bionic and xoom devices.

IF motorola decides to upgrade the A2 to ICS, by the time they blur it up, and att approves it, there will be much better out and you'll be at your next upgrade point.
No, most of us will have just sold the phone for something else or bit the bullet and kept it while getting something else. Not exactly an upgrade in the most carrier specific sense of the term.
And yes that thought occurred to me. I'm surprised they haven't updated the list to include the Atrix 2, since it's so similar to some other phones they're upgrading to ICS.

Sigh........ I love this phone, I don't understand why everybody leaves it behind... Goddamn AT&T and Motorola!!
Motorola said it would be up to 6 weeks after ICS source code was released before they would give an update to what devices would get ICS. Right now to make the assumption we won't get it is just pure speculation since it has not been stated anywhere that we won't.

for the phones they have planned now, which is the razr and bionic. it will be a 6-8 months minimum if they choose to upgrade the atrix 2.
by then, jellybean will be releasing...
i've seen this with the x10, which att finally approved the x10a to 2.1 in june... and it never received the 2.3 update that the x10i received over seas. same phone, same hardware, just no att iron fist.
Im gonna disagree with ya. Coming from the OG ATRIX back when it was running froyo, it got gingerbread when 90%+ was still running froyo. AT&T has been better at pushing updates to their phones then any of the big 3 in my opinion. How many phones has been listed as getting ICS for sure from AT&T? Vivid and Skyrocket? ATRIX 2 was released just before them.
I know you've had problems with your phone. But take away the problems you were having would you still be getting a new phone? I have had zero problems with my phone and would bet that everyone else that has had the same luck would be very content with their phones also.

Well.....
Hmmm....
I think it is coming. But as it turns out I sold my Atrix 2 today and decided to move back to CDMA service. I have just not been all that happy with AT&T in my area. SOOoooo, don't laugh. I bought a Samsung Vitality with Muve Music on cricket. It will tie me over and I am excited about the included music service. I am alot better with CDMA over GSM, so it looks like I will be grabbing a razr and getting it over to cricket. so long atrix 2 guys

I agree. If I don't see the Atrix 2 on the second wave of devices Moto has slated to get ICS then I'll start to lose faith.

That's not true, the X10 did get 2.3, officially, through AT&T.
That page hasn't been updated since before ICS code was released. Notice NONE of the new phones are on it nor is our MB865
This page details plans for Android software upgrades only; other various routine updates will be delivered to optimize device experiences and these will be communicated separately when deployed.
A note about Ice Cream Sandwich:
We are planning to upgrade DROID RAZR™ by Motorola, Motorola RAZR™, Motorola XOOM™ (including Family Edition) and DROID BIONIC™ by Motorola to Ice Cream Sandwich. We will provide more precise guidance on timing after post-public push of Ice Cream Sandwich by Google, as well as any possible additions to this list of devices.

This quote was there before the source code to ICS. Notice below where each phone is listed by country. None of those phones are listed nor is ours. What I'm saying is that this page hasnt been updated for some time
Also take note in that statement "as well as any possible additions to this list of devices." See they even State Possible Additions which could equal any number of devices.
honestly, that's my biggest issue. no one knows for sure and motorola will not say otherwise.
i have 7 days left on my 30 day return, i will not get stuck with another upgrade locked device. motorola will not say, i have no more free time with this phone.

I'm getting whiplash from the number of times you've told us you're done with this phone, but then somehow you're still here.

i've been done with the phone, i went to att on tuesday to exchange, they informed me that there are new phones coming on sunday, i'm waiting to see what is coming and if current models drop in price.
One thing you will notice about the devices that were listed, they are only the Verizon devices. I still believe that we will get ICS on our phones but ATT is usually tight lipped on their updates, they happen, you just don't hear about it. I believe that part of that statement is Verizon marketing.
I think it will have an up date. Moto has no AT&T phones for the ICS update. What better phone to upgrade than this. Samsung has gs2 but honestly I think this will see the update. We have a webtop,dual core. I just don't see AT&T and moto "not" updating this. They are tight lipped as stated before.

I completely agree.
Personally I feel if moto doesn't want to support the device anymore they should be obligated to unlock the bootloader so we can support it ourselves.
That said. I 100% believe Moto will update
the A2 to ICS.

Atrix 2 gets it in Q3.
So when moto phones get 4.0 the Nexii will be getting 5.0
Also what happened to "You will have ICS on the Razr within 6 weeks"
No ICS for the Defy+? Are you kidding me? :O There were rumors about ICS beta versions for Defy+ being tested in the Moto labs...? :/
Nothing confirmed for Droid 3 and even Droid 4? That (and the reset of these timings) are ridiculous.
moto's update policy is quiet bad. I think it's the main resaon not to buy a razr.
I hope Google cleans up their mess.
Q3 for a bunch of their somewhat newer phones? Bad.
What are the odds that the One X will get an official update to Android 4.1/Jelly Bean? This is my first Android device so I'm not sure what to expect as far as updates.
Pretty good imo
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Considering it's the latest generation flagship device from a major manufacturer, it's almost guaranteed to get 4.1 at some point.
Agreed with every else's responses. This is a flagship device and Jelly Bean is supposed to be released soon-ish (by the end of the year I think?). It's pretty much guaranteed.
And even if we don't get an official update, there's no doubt there will be custom jb roms out for it eventually.
Most HTC devices seem to get at least one major Android version update. And as other have noted, the One X is their a flagship device, so its highly likely. Unfortunately, AT&T is infamous for being slow to release software updates. Although they seem to be getting a bit better (the Vivid update came pretty quickly).

This is the beauty of Android. It doesn't matter if we get it from Google or not. We will get it one way or another.
Has there been any announcement made on this? Will it even be able to run it?

I think is less of a question of will than when it gets the update since Motorola has a good reputation of delivering them even to their budget devices
I'm pretty sure it will. Motorola always gives at least one upgrade, and usually gives several before retiring a device. This device will be Motorola's top seller for the next year, so I have no doubt that it will be updated.
Agreed - I think with Marshmallow being so close and with the Moto G 3rd gen being sold for at least another 12 months, we will get the update.
I guess we'll receive at least 2 major upgrades... Yey!

Android M is pretty certain. Expect to get somewhat incremental updates for about a year and half. Even after that last update, you'll still be on the latest Android for another six months (give or take) past release of the latest update since incremental updates don't roll out on a monthly basis. Besides, two years later, you'll want to get a Moto G 2017 (unless Lenovo doesn't keep us happy with their phones) in a couple of years to enjoy greater hardware, along with new integrated software features. I plan on using my moto g 3rd gen for a good two years if circumstances allow, it's a really nice phone
And since it already have 2GB of ram (mine at least) will be easy to get updates and since it's a qqcom processor, you'll always can count on CM ROMs

Moto x4 which is also an Android one device started to get Oreo updates. I guess we will get it soon too considering ours is also an Android one device. What do you guys think?

Predicting the obvious?
Their beta is still ongoing I don't think we'll get it on the remaining days of 2017 nor even on January 2018.
Technically they can say- " well we did...there is beta Oreo released before 2018." which is lame.
Similar situations I had on Meizu with their flyme and huawei back when I had 6p...they said "well, there's an update, beta is out"

So someone asked on Twitter about Oreo update and Xiaomi says "Its coming really soon!"

I never forget when Motorola left the Moto G 2015 without Nougat (even that it is capable of running it), also they said in their blog
It’s our general practice for the moto g family to get one major OS upgrade per device
