My Moto X Pure just got the May update, Feb was the last before that... Moto is always behind several months on security updates, and since the 6.0.1 roll out issues, everything on the G3 and Turbo seems to have ground to a halt.
Be patient and wait, or jump to a custom ROM, nothing else you can do.

XT1034 No 4.4.4?

Did Motorola just decide to stop updating for this model of the Moto G?
I'm assuming they just didn't feel it was different enough from 4.4.3 since this was one of the first models to get that build.

Memory leak in all Moto G. How come Motorola doesn't fix it?

Hi,
all Moto G have a memory bug: launcher redraw sometimes and apps running in the background restart (-> interrupting them, like skype or music player). How come they don't fix this? This is ridiculous and insulting the customers.
Not all motorolas , my moto on 5.0.2 br not even once have memory leak
All Motorola have it, in fact, since is a Lollipop problem, all phones with Lollipop have it.
The problem is on Google side, not Motorola, the question is: How Google not fix it yet? Even on 5.1 have the Memory Leak.

My Moto G running 4.4.4 also has this bug!
Use custom kernel and problem is solved.
I'm facing no memory leak on Brazilian 5.0.2.

It's not a memory leak it's an OOM issue. Kernel stops the highest resource eating process and waits until memory is cleared up. Hence the disappearing facebook chat heads. At this point this error has to be targeted at its kernel source. I basically removed oom_killer from killing processes. This could lead to a system hang if too many processes are used. #yolo
This fix ruined my system. I'm on xt1033 optimised 5.0.2 by lost101 and arde pruma 1.2 kernel. I've uninstalled the fix but still have effects. Slow response and lags... I'm planning to factory reset to get rid of this? Any comments for other ways to recover?
Edit: I've reflashed kernel again and still laggy...
1.- Memory leak is a problem from Google's source, not Motorola.
2.- AFAIK this leak is fixed on 5.1 (at least the big ones)
3.- There's an Xposed module launched today called Fix Lollipop Memory Leak. You can install it and see if it helps.
4.- Remember, most of the problems are related to an update from 4.4.4 ->5.0.x. Try a factory reset and see what happens.
My S5 had this issue, I am on 5.0, Samsung recently released an update and all is fixed. So I wouldn't blame Google, Motorola can fix this. Does the 2015 Moto G have this issue as thinking of buying one?

Marshmallow - Guess the Date

As we all know Sept 29th the new Nexus models with Marshmallow will launch. For fun, what is everyone prediction on when we will see an official update to Marshmallow. My guess is Nov 6th.
21 days or less from code availability.
Moto X Pure Edition (Verizon)
Sept. 29. Mark my words ?
Halloween.

My guess is way before you can actually buy this thing in Europe...
How would rooted users install the marshmallow update?
11/10, that way my Nexus devices will be up to date while I ignore them for Fallout 4.
My guess is Thanksgiving. Keep us distracted with phone issues or turkey... One way or another we will pass out from the process...
4 weeks from when it is first available on a nexus device.
mischief night
Sept 28th.
You never know lol.

Beauty of an unlockable bootloader ... Return to stock, get OTA. Only potential "issue" is that TWRP/root for M may take a bit (not sure on that though as I'm no dev)
-OR-
Wait for one of the great devs to post a stock-rooted flashable ROM.

We of the Atrix 4G boards had a saying about ICS coming out:

Absolutely! :good:
While I'm very excited for Marshmellow, as others have stated, I don'y think we will have to wait for the official rom to drop. There will be some awesome devs that port it to out devise from the Nexus devises long before it's officially available.
My guess you have to be pretty quick after release because unlike in previous years we no longer have to wait for carriers to approve the updates
3 weeks from code release...Based on how the lollipop rollout went for the 2014 Moto X. I do want to mention that this "update to marshmellow" we are all guessing will be within the month of Oct. will most likely be only a soak test.

someone replied a way to do, but usually a nice dev will make update package with root, and flashable from twrp or cwm

If it's anything like my Moto G 2nd gen I ain't even got LP 5.1.1. Moto updates are just as bad as ever

Pure MM FULL Rollout to following carriers:

"I have some news with respect to our Android Marshmallow 6.0 upgrades.
This afternoon we have started to fully rollout Android Marshmallow 6.0 on 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen) with the following carriers; Verizon, Sprint and USC.
In addition, we have started the soak test period in Brazil and India retail for the 2015 Moto X Play and in Brazil retail for the 2015 Moto X Force.
We are continuing to work to rollout Android Marshmallow 6.0 to the previously announced devices as listed on the Official Motorola Blog.
Thanks and enjoy!"

I'm in the same boat, I'm on Cricket. Other sites stated At&t & T-Mobile (probably) to follow...
I'm reading other people are popping out their SIMs and getting the update : "Just installed my marshmallow update on my Moto x pure edition. I'm neither on any of the US carriers. I took out my sim, searched for updates and I got the OTA update notification and installed. Good luck guys! "
This has NOT worked for me
oops, pulled sim and updated. Hopefully, this will not effect the tmobile carrier update..

Tried rebooting after pulling SIM, if it was still on when pulling it then checking for the update?

hopefully you wont have to do this but when i had my Nexus 6 i bought directly from moto with my verizon SIM in it, I had to do a factory reset with the SIM removed in order for it to get the OTAs that were pushed directly from google.:fingers-crossed:

Why is anyone waiting at this point anyway? We know the files are the same and the download is available for anyone to flash. There is no T-Mobile update coming other than this one.
What's the build number of the latest rollout?

In general I would agree, but if there technically is no difference, why didn't GSM users on ATT and TMo get the update? Band 12 certification is only a TMo issue, so shouldn't have impacted ATT.
I have this nagging feeling that Moto isn't telling us something, and with the absence of a true signed factory restore file, I'm a little gun shy about flashing something that may impact my ability to get a proper OTA a little down the line...

While I'm technically on ATT my just received replacement MXP has not seen a sim card yet and I get the OTA just fine.

I tried yesterday. I turned off my phone, removed my sim card and reboot it. No OTA. Well, I'm in Canada so maybe that didn't help much. [emoji14]

In Utah, removed sim card, waited a few minutes checked for update, no dice! Repeated the process multiple fine with no chance. Bought moto x through moto maker and rocking T-Mobile

UK always gets left behind
Finally just got update with Cricket Wireless SIM card Inserted.

Noticed this Update 24.231.16

I froze my moto updater at the Sept update. But today this update was able to come through. 24.231.16 is the update. I don't think its Nougat, because the xt1572 it started with 25.XXX.XX. This is for the MOTO X PURE xt1575. Any info thanks.
Nevermind it was the febuary update. Also noticed the the Motorola Updated was unfrozen. Hence how the update got through.
That's the December security patch, definitely not nougat
