It's about time. Kudos to Lenovo for getting this done and not abandoning the DT.

Motorola DROID Turbo finally getting Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update

If you own the DROID Turbo, then you should be looking for firmware number 24.81.5.en.US. Also, this seems to be a fairly sizable download, as it will take up to 25 minutes for your smartphone to upgrade to Marshmallow.

Looks like its time to get a virtually new Turbo phone. Backup everything. Install Marshmallow. Do factory reset. Get new wallpaper. Sort through apps and only install the ones I use frequently. Get new icon pack. Basically set up the phone again making it look like a different phone.

Finally! I'll go home and check for updates.

Too late, Moto. Our family has switched to Pixels and we're happy we did.

Nothing to see here, move along....

(Can't figure out how to delete a post!)

Did you get the email as part of the Soak? I keep checking and no update for me.

Davidoo, thanks for the deleted post.

Or you end up with an old phone that can't handle the new software so it becomes slow and glitchy. And your battery life gets cut in half or worse.

I remember what Lollipop did to my two year old Razr M and I'm very leery of the upgrade so late in the game.

Well, I think you mean KitKat, and the Razr M used a crappy old Snapdragon processor. The Turbo uses the Snapdragon 805, which **should** run Marshmallow fine. Comparable phones with the 805 are the Nexus 6, the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy S5.

That's right it was Kit Kat. The Turbo came with KK and upgraded to Lollipop. I just remember my M was pretty much junk not long after upgrading. Part of me wants the upgrade, but another part says no, too late now.

Hmm... The VZW site makes it look like this is live. Doesn't look like anyone has received it. Has anyone tried to do a manual install?

 

[jleebiker]

Just chatted with a VZW rep. The update will happen on Google's schedule. We can't manually download it via the software tool either. I guess back-up your important stuff and be ready when the update hits your handset.
