[Q] After 4.4.2, will Moto G get any more updates?

What do you think? Will Motorola abandon its budget phone after only giving it one update?

The Moto G will probably be supported for 1 to 1,5 years as long as the hardware can take it.

I hope they give us Key Lime Pie (5.0) before they decide to stop updates for it.

Moto has been on the ball lately in getting updates for older devices like the Razrs so I'm holding onto hope that it will get a few more updates.

Hopefully, they carry on updates until a certain time. Would definitely like to see where they go next

If they supported before i am sure that they will supporting it now, since they are a google company.

It should in theory get 18 months support, so Android 5.0 is a real possibility, as Google is now concentrating on getting Android to run on lower spec smartphones.
BUT
Motorola could if they want stop support for the Moto G after only 12 months, because when all said and done it isn't a true Nexus device, even though they are now owned by Google, and alot of companies don't really support their low end smartphones beyond a 12 months period, and by the time Android 5.0 is out they have a Moto G replacement in the wings.

I'm just hoping now that Google bought them they will be more supportive of old phones, If I remember correctly my Defy didn't even got an upgrade past Eclair/Froyo, if even that.

Google are the ones who have said 18 months of updates for their nexus line. I'd imagine they will do this with Motorola as well. Hey...beats some phone makers.
Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone.....

Well we all assume that the moto g is a "mini-nexus" and that's why it can have up to 18 months updates but, motorola never said so. It can be that it stops earlier, specially considering that its a mid-range device.
Though motorola's CEO did said they will focus on releasing less devices and give them better support. This last year (2013) they only released two devices, which is in track of what he said in that interview but doesn't guarantee that "more support" is meant to be more than a year.
I'm pretty sure it will see android 5.x , assuming google won't go all the way from 4.4 to 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 before the big jump

"Lollipop" or "Licorice" would be my guess.

There are already lot of first-class devs around here, so I think the future of the Moto G is in good hands even without any official support

Defy+ only got to GB 2.3.6 but Quarx made it possible to decently run 4.4.2 on the old trusty defy. It's has been a long way from froyo to kitkat.
So if the Moto Gee gets attention from developers and I'm sure it will we have nothing to worry about.

I don't care as long as the hardware gets yearly updates ? If they bring out a moto g 2 for the same price with the latest firmware I'll upgrade every year,just hope the moto g 2 gets LTE

I don't think Key Lime Pie is going to be a thing... If you notice, all of the Android codenames have gone in alphabetical order. KeyLime was all speculation. KitKat filled the K spot, and 5.0 will be some L

[Q] When is Lollipop coming out for Moto G (1st gen) in ME?

I've always been an iPhone user (iPhone 5S 32GB)... but been using the Moto G for a few months as my 2nd (for work) phone.. and it's a bit weird using android as my primary phone now since my beloved iPhone was stolen from me!!
anyway, and since this is my only phone now, I'll be using it until I make up my mind between the Note 4 and 2 or 3 other top notch phablets... yeah I think I'm leaving the bitten Apple for good, and for many reasons..
my question is:
When will the moto G get this LP update.?! why not release it to all android phones at once?!
phone model and other info attached, also attached is something weird I noticed...
why does this phone have 2 IMEI s ?
first post in 4 years.. wow!
Thank you all..
iSari

I have a better question. Why don't you try to read in google and the other 100 posts with questions about LP update? Also about updating all phones at once. Did you even noticed that all android phones comes from different makers? Is their call to update or not their phones

Hi... Do you read the package of the phones you buy man? You have a dual SIM Moto G, thats why you see two IMEIs there.
And there is no news about official L yet. And they dont release at once because it takes time to develop Android, so the dev teams from Moto work to release the update in batches. All you have to do is wait.

I was about to mention that but he wasnt asking about GPE.. So I ommited that.. My bad.. Also as he was an iPhone user, maybe he has not all the knowledge to dare unlocking the bootloader and convert his XT1033 onto GPE.. So I suggest to wait... And buy a Nexus 6 man!!!

Yeah +1 on all of that haha. Mmmm N6 yes please.
Sorry wasn't being rude didn't know If you knew about L for gpe, you could of missed one of the million or so threads about converting or flashing or bricking as the the lollipop saga continues, never seen so much madness over an ota, the amount of people risking devices instead of waiting a few days/weeks. I'll be having nightmares soon

Hi guys,
its been a few weeks since I posted this. Happy New Year y'all
any updates on when is it gonna be released?

Finally!! yesterday morning I upgraded my Moto G to Lollipop 5.0.2 and WOW it looks nicer and feels smoother

Moto G4 Plus just launched! Development possibilities??

Hi there! Moto has just unveiled their Moto G4, G4 Plus and G4 Play. I'm really excited, and I don't want to wait for user reviews
So I guess I'll just trust Moto with their reputation, and order one today itself if I can :victory:
What do you guys think of the new model(s)? Do you think there will be much development going on? I'm prepared to wait for the fun to begin, but I just wanted your thoughts on the matter...
I know it is too early, and probably a dumb question but there are many variants (G4 Plus has 16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants)... Could that possibly hamper development scope? Also, I've mostly seen that such variants of mainstream models ('plus', 'play', etc) do not have as many options, as far as kernels and ROMs are concerned.

m also in same dilemaa..waiting for some recognized developers words on it @Vatsal is one of them.

:fingers-crossed: Ordered today, Arriving tomorrow.

It won't be hard to port all development work to the plus and play, you just need someone who knows what they're doing. I wouldn't be worried.

I wouldn't worry, as with the previous Moto G's, I expect this one to get some developers on board that know what they're doing. I'll try to help, but can't help with the first steps (twrp, root) as I'm way to inexperienced. (Been battling with the build environment for the Tab S2 for moths, would prefer to work on the code itself )
I'm still in doubt between the G4 and the plus, the latter being released here around the 9th. (the G4 is due 1st of june)

Noticeably missing are the Moto G 2015 (3rd Gen) and all Moto E models.

Glad to finally see official announcement. Let's hope we get invited to the soak test.

Good stuff....and now we wait.

This is the announcement i've been waiting for. Now i'll pull the trigger and buy a Moto X Pure.

don't get me wrong. it is good to see an official announcement from Motorola but I'm pretty sure we will see the updates in the phones until next year.
Motorola is not what is used to be when it comes to software updates.

I just bought the Moto X Pure. I am glad to hear that it will get upgraded to 7.0.

Good news ...

Omg!
I check 5 times a day, now it's finally coming!

yeii i just read the news and i came too to confirm im so glad, can wait for the udpate

I bought this phone about a month ago and this just made the purchase so much sweeter.

I also want to point out that the post says "Starting in Q4 with Moto Z and Moto G (4)", which is now. They would probably roll down the list in device age - with some optimism, I would say we would get the update at the latest Q2 of 2017

I say in December just like with marshmallow

Updates have been pretty much every quarter... Hard to say if we will get 6.0.1 and/or a simple security update this quarter or a full N release... My money is on a simple MM update and N toward end of 1st quarter of 2017.
We will get rumors of a beta, figure it will be 45-60 days after that barring any real issues.

I don't really think they will go for 6.0.1 it'll be easier to just release n on there part especially with the employee cuts they made

Will we get 7.1 if it's later on or will we just be stuck on 7.0? I hope it's 7.1 because that has the Google Assistant build in like the new Pixel phone.

Regarding to Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen). How do I know if I have 3rd gen pure?

Moto Z & Z play Update started to rollout now it's our turn

its 1500mb (1.2gb)
i hope by this week or next week we should be getting nougat update...

This is stable version and not just for soak test users, right?

I wouldn't count on next week. There's a September security patch rolling out to the X Style in some locations (UK I believe). My guess would be if they're pushing a security patch now, that may indicate Nougat will still be a couple months away for the Pure/Style. I hope I'm wrong, just speculation.

Nope. Second XT1572 patch the XT1575 has been passed over for, IIRC. Let me guess: US carrier interference of some sort behind the scenes, even though it's an unlocked retail-only phone. Watch it stop us from getting Nougat too.
