Soak test started - X Play General

Soak test started for moto x paly nogute
What's coming in Android Nougat?
Android 7.0 Nougat brings multi-window options, night mode, bundled notification, improved security update, enhanced battery optimisation, and several other value-added features to enhance user experience.
Watch this space for latest news on Moto devices and Android Nougat update release details

oh 7.1.1 thx!

I wonder how long it takes till the official release ?

If someone who receives the update captures the ota and uploads the update zip file then everyone of us can update our device.

let's hope for a better night shots.. (but I really doubt it)

At last 7.1.1 arrived on MPX

Android Nougat Update
Motorola has started Soak Test for Indian Moto X Play. It is Android 7.1.1. Sadly it is disaster. Lenovo Forum is flooded with bugs ranging from Non Bootable phones, random crashes, reduced battery life, slow responsive touch, phone vibrating randomly during calls and much more...
I recommend DO NOT UPDATE to Nougat until Lenovo fixes the bugs and release another version. Trust me, you will regret updating to Nougat at this point of time.
If anyone would like to upgrade despite this, let me know and i will release the OTA after getting the zip file.

Dude just wait for the official release. Where would you report bugs without being part of soak test anyways?

Well I had already enrolled for the soak test but I did not receive any update, I would obviously report bugs on lenovo forum where most of the users are posting. I simply don't get the point why people are not sharing the zip.
Firstly if any bugs arise or even the device gets bricked its completely the the responsibility of the person who flashes as he knowingly does so that its a soak test. I have used the moto g1 as well as the g4, where the updates were instantly uploaded within few hours by the users once they were available.
Secondly coming to the point of NDA , there are many ways to upload the zip by some different id and it nearly impossible for lenovo to track the user and block further updates. The NDA is simply an pen and paper work and nothing more than that.
I feel the community for the G series is much better than that of X

Well tell me how you are going to report bugs in the private forum for those who have been invited? Why don't you just wait for the final release without the (unlikely) chance of bricking your device? I don't think that they didn't invite you without a reason.
Also flashing an official update or a custom rom are two different things. Oh and breaking an NDA makes a community better? Don't underestimate the stupidity of some people who would flash that buggy update they got from one of those shady "News" sites or youtube channels expecting an official Update. I mean look at those sites which already reported that official nougat is being shipped.

Is anyone else losing hope we'll see an official lollipop update from at&t?

I've been searching all over and ive found nothing. It's the begining of a new year and I'm starting to think we're not getting a lollipop update anymore..
I always believe all model branded by us carriers will get any update last of all other makes.
Yeah, it's been that way pretty much with every phone I've ever owned. I wish phone manufactures wouldn't allow carriers to intervene. But at least usually an international ROM is ported over to the us models.. I wish someone would do that
I just want it to come so i can get the latest cloudy.
Right. That's the ROM I wanted to use.
Custom Roms.
That's why we use custom roms. The unofficial cyanongen is a good substitute for a lollipop update.

Really??? When have you ever known AT&T to let anyone know about an update until it is in process? I think we will get an L update for two reasons. AT&T has always seemed to allow at least one major upgrade of versions and the phone is barely 6 months old.
Besides that, the rollout of L for international G3s started less than 2 months ago. U.S. carriers typically take time to "test" (i.e. install their bloatware and figure out how to lock down the phone) the new updates.
Yeah I'm getting very fed up with all this too... I use liquidsmooth in the meantime and it works great, but I just miss the LG camera... Also other features but mainly the camera... I had the nexus 5 before this phone and I loved the timely updates... Too bad it don't work the same with this phone...

I was being a little over dramatic. I know eventually we'll get an update, but instead of trying to add all that bloat and strip things from the software they should be trying to get it out for the users as soon as possible.

Unfortunately this is the case with all android phones and tablets. The latest and greatest hits the Nexus lines first. Other phones are at the mercy of the phone manufacturer (as well as the carriers in some cases).
With all the custom roms and cm12 for our phone right around the corner. Who needs an official bloated at&t L Rom. Custom roms run so much better than stock anyway. .....and L is good but very over rated K.K. 4.4.4 is working great. Be patient you will get your stock at&t L by the latest March
********************************
Update today I got a notification to update I am ON stock d85010d
I have the phone a week this was my 1 st notification I wonder if this is the 10f or something else I haven't rooted yet. Did anyone else get this today and if so what is it ?
It's 10f I got the notice today as well. If you are rooted it will not break root.
I believe it'll come to us soon but I can care less if the update comes. I'm fine with what were using now.
the only problem with all the Lollipop Roms we currently have is that the camera app sucks, we loose 4K recording, Laser Focus, Slow motion and front facing flash. Plus the quality of the pictures is not even near to the quality of the stock camera.
1cwolf has been rooting the stock roms and tweaking them I am sure he will do the same when L drops. He is making debloated ver also. That's prob what I'll stick with cause the stock Rom does run very good. I always get better WiFi with stock roms more powerfull WiFi signal

What size was the 10F update? I am betting that is a small update before lollipop comes in...
let's not forget...the AT&T G2 was one of the first phones to get KitKat. Besides Nexus devices are there any other devices with Lollipop? LG is moving pretty quick to get the international version of Lollipop out. Where is Samsung and HTC with Lollipop for their devices?

[REQ]Motorola Android 6.0 Soak Test

Hi. Me and the other developers have been trying to get our hands on the new Android 6.0 boot.img. If anyone is running the soak test people please PM me.
Thanks
Shawn
Did they actually start the soak test, or is it still the test drive?
Does it benefit you that much to have a pre release version? If you want to make roms, why wouldn't you wait until the final version of the software is released? I know that, usually, a soak is very similar to a final release (and who knows with these "test drives"), but not always. And since the 5.0 botched release caused several problems, why wouldn't you wait?
None of us got it. Unless the few people who beta-tested it not (soak tested) it.
Its against NDA so no one will bother

Could be that no one has it. Remember it is a small test group that got it. Soak is not live yet (maybe). Plus people agreed to be quiet about it so even if we got an invite it wont be public. Either way we all will have fun in a few weeks

Its going to be stock android 6 + moto assist, and android 6 is a refinement of the already stable android 5.1.
Want to know what it will be like? Watch this and imagine there is a moto assist app in the app drawer

LOL. Thanks. Already familiar with MM from my N6, more curious about the specifics of MM on the MXPE test drive, such as stability, doze improvements on our hardware, completeness, etc

Well it was too prepare. They want to get a mostly stable version before they push it to the super soakers to make sure the 5.0 bricking disaster doesn't happen again. From what I have read we do NOT want them to rush things. Once it is safe the soakers will get it and then everyone. As long as it is within a month I do not mind if it means smooth and mostly bug free
I welcome the caution of Motorola. Or maybe they are already soak testing but the group members are so good they are keeping it on the DL

I can confirm the 5.0 disaster ... It was Lollipop massacre ... It happened on the Moto G (First Gen), one of the first moto device to receive the lollipop update through Soak test ... the image was leaked and people started flashing them, there were some minor bugs in the image, and whenever people tried to get to stable kitkat, or stock Rom in order to get official update their phone got permanently bricked ...
There are major changes in the Bootloader during the major android updates, so it's best to take precautions and wait patiently till someone confirms a proper procedure .
I can confirm the soak test isn't fake.
Didn't want to share this whatever.

Android N Developer Preview expands beyond Google’s own devices

What are the chances the MPX gets the N Preview?

I keep my hopes high but my expectations low. If we were still a Google company we would be the first on N. I have high doubts that we will get the beta but I could be 100% wrong.

It is highly unlikely that we will get the preview. Moto is owned by Lenovo now and it has been pathetic providing normal software update to the devices (forget the Developer previews). So dont keep your hopes high.

Not sure if you guys read the article, but the Sony Xperia Z3 is open to the preview.
"Unlike Google’s own devices, though, you won’t be able to enroll in the N preview online and then get the update over the air. Instead, you’ll have to download the preview and manually flash your device. After this, future updates will arrive over the air direct from Sony.
With this update, you can now install the Android N Developer Preview on the Z3, Nexus 6, 6X, 6P, Nexus Player, the Pixel C tablet, and the General Mobile 4G (Android One)."
I would love to see Motorola get on board with this, but I am not counting on it. Still waiting for 6.0.1 in the US after all...
Look how long is Motorola taking to release 6.0.1, a minor update. Forget developer previews, we'll be lucky if the full version of N gets to our phones by Christmas.

I agree with this 100%, the update to 6.0 was quick, but 6.0.1 dropped right around the time that 6.0 went public for MXPE and US users still haven't seen it. There has been an Asian release and a Euro release in very limited fashion. In addition to that OS update, the December and January Security updates were skipped, along with the April update. March Security patches are included in the 6.0.1 update that has been seen in other markets.

Isn't it possible to port it?
So I have a crazy question: if I can do a clean install (with zero issues!) of Ubuntu on my Lenovo Ideapad laptop meant for Win8, why can't someone take the base 6.0.1 code and "port" it to the XT1575? Even if that would leave the phone with some features "broken", let's see what those would be? Or how about at least " porting" the monthly Android security updates so we can flash them ourselves? Yes, updates can break things, but the patched security benefits probably outweigh that risk...

CM is built nightly by auto build scripts, whether there are changes or not... Most day to changes are in the CM core and have little real effect. I recommend only updating monthly unless you are having issues.
Moto doesn't push updates except when needed, the stock rom is stable and in general doesn't need frequent updates. Moto has also made no commitment to regular security updates.

And yet, I have yet to hear of a single security issues with this device...
TBH, most of these security updates are not really about technical need at all, they are about propaganda... It makes Google, and Android in general, look better, to patch any "vulnerability" in Android. All of these huge security holes like Stagefrieght, Media Server, Quadrooter, etc. are not REALLY an issue in the real world. Have you ever heard of anyone actually having a problem with any of these? No, you haven't, because there isn't a single documented case of any of these "in the wild", it's all happened in a lab.
Remember that even though we are on January 2016 update, Moto is still a leader in this area... How many other sub-$200 handsets even get updates, much less better ones than we do? Not many...

If it can be done in a lab, it can be done in real life. It's important for Google to fix any security issues, and it's not just propaganda. You don't want your software that's going on billions of phones to have security issues.
But for the average person, you really don't need to worry about it, unless you're really high profile or very rich and are at risk of being targeted.
All true, Google does fix security issues the problem is most phone company's doesn't provide them to the costumers.
Fingers crossed for Nougat on the Moto G3
Someone will port it. No fear

We will probably get it, but G 2015 will likely be in line behind the Moto Z, G4, X Style/Pure, and X Play... Haven't heard a peep from beta testers for any device, so likely at least 3 months out still. Will probably see CM14 and other custom ROMs well before official update.

And yet, I have yet to hear of a single security issues with this device...
TBH, most of these security updates are not really about technical need at all, they are about propaganda... It makes Google, and Android in general, look better, to patch any "vulnerability" in Android. All of these huge security holes like Stagefrieght, Media Server, Quadrooter, etc. are not REALLY an issue in the real world. Have you ever heard of anyone actually having a problem with any of these? No, you haven't, because there isn't a single documented case of any of these "in the wild", it's all happened in a lab.
Remember that even though we are on January 2016 update, Moto is still a leader in this area... How many other sub-$200 handsets even get updates, much less better ones than we do? Not many...

I am curious why some versions of MotoG3 got the upgrade to 6.01 and others did not?
Is it a good assumption those who did not get 6.01 will not get any further updates unless it is 7.0?

Safe assumption... But I've seen stranger things. 6.0.1 started rolling out months ago, then just stopped with no official word as to why. Speculation is the scroll issue, where scrolls are seen as taps, got significantly worse and the roll out was stopped. Really though 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 was a very minor change.

That scroll issue was terrible, which is the main thing that got me to void my warranty and flash cm13.
Moto isn't the best anymore...

Samsung is on the July 2016 update with the sub-$200 X Cover 3.
I am not a Samsung fanboy at all.
I really don't like all the fluff they add to Android and why they see the need to overhaul the settings.
But having Samsung best Motorola at keeping their sub-$200 handsets up-to-date makes me doubt that my next phone will be a Moto.
Which is a shame, I think...

Ehh... I can see that. I would still never own another Sammy, but I would take another Moto. Besides, I usually only run mine stock for about 3 months then ROM them once a few become stable.

Me too. I can even tolerate an iPhone to a Samsung. Its good for sammy if they give updates, I agree on that.

Android 7.0 Nougat being pushed to AOSP / Nexus

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2016/08/taking-final-wrapper-off-of-nougat.html
Only a matter of time now!
Yeah, my hope was that since moto was dragging feet on the 6.0.1 and the monthly security updates that we would see Nougat earlier than most, but I then wondered why did they release a May security update at all. So that thought sent my hypothesis that they were working on a Nougat release right out the window.

moto pure ?
Well, they can begin working on it now. Needed AOSP source.

They can't with on nougat until Google releases the source code. Motorola/Lenovo has also confirmed security updates will be quarterly vice monthly. They probably have a limited number of software engineers and developers and 6.0.1 honestly didn't really show that it could bring much in additional features to this phone. With nougat, there are reasons to move forward with the release.
Maybe this will fix the audio stutter with LTE calls on T-Mobile.
I know this might seem stupid but cant we port the nexus 5x factory android 7 rom?
I wouldn't bank on getting Nougat. Let's not forget how quickly Lenovorola dropped the 2014 Moto X in terms of Marshmallow. I know the unlocked variants eventually got it, but it took awhile.
I've this bad feeling in my gut our phone's support is going to be cut off. It's just like during the days of waiting for the Atrix to get 4.0 only for it to get canned.
Hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Just a fluff piece and purely conjecture... No reference to anything concrete like 95% of all articles out there. Fact is, only 16 handsets are absolutely confirmed to get Nougat, everything else is unofficial. And the only Moto on the list is the Nexus 6.

In the comments section of that article user Tim stated "And your source is…? Also why is the Moto X Pure listed on the bottom of Google’s nougat website. The Moto X style (which is what the pure is called outside the US) is confirmed to have 7.0."

You must have a different version of the website to me as I can't see it. I see 5 phones listed, none of them are Motorola.

That's weird. I tried both desktop and mobile and it's there for me both times. Perhaps its a region thing? I'm in Tennessee, US

General Android site. Not specifically Nougat.

This thing isn't even a year old. We HAVE to get it. I would hate to have to rely on CM14 to stay current.

This is what I see. Nougat is mentioned, it could mean absolutely nothing, but either way it is an interesting find in my opinion.

I wouldn't say we have to get it, but not offering major update support for a flagship type device up to 18 months after release would be a bad move by Lenovo. It would definitely push me away. I can deal with fewer less frequent security updates as well as bypassing minor ones (6.0.1), but a major one that this device can easily handle is expected.
Getting flashbacks to the Atrix 4G's journey to 4.0. What a time to be alive.
This being a new Motorola in ideology, so-to-speak, I'm optimistic, but it doesn't bode super well that they've already directed resources away from security updates. But who knows, maybe they did that to work on bringing 7 up.
Too bad they don't just tell us what's happening.

That is something I have always wished for in an OEM. I guess they keep silent not to get hopes up, only to crush them later if something doesn't work out, but some sort of information would be nice. At least tell us it's being worked on, or what is being worked on.
