Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition (24.11.18)

Re: Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition

I signed up for the soak test but never got the survey email, honestly just took my phone off airplane mode for break and checked for the update. I checked before I came into work 3 hrs ago and nothing was showing so I have no idea.

There seem to be conflicting reports. Someone may have pulled the trigger too early for some IMEI's since some people who never got the invitation are getting it.

This may answer what happened:

Huh. I just got the Marshmallow update and didn't realize I was even involved in the soak test. (was on my old Droid Turbo so maybe that just carried over? No idea)

I am on Verizon

Moto sent out an ooops letter someone goofed up

Apparently they said the oops was that this was a soak test but they sent it to some soak testers before telling them it was a soak test.

That doesn't really align with what some people are saying (who claim they were not signed up for the soak test).

Re: Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition

Just did the update. My external SD card (which I am keeping as portable) has been renamed from sdcard1 (I think that's what it was) to "5A0E-6B51" and now access to files on the SD card is SLOW. Whenever I open QuickPic or ES File Explorer it takes almost 10 seconds to access the card and the files slowly load. I rebooted, pulled the card (after ejecting) and still the same. It's a 128GB card that is mostly full and I really don't feel like reformatting. Any ideas?

I think someone just goofed up in general and started pushing it to phone that were not supposed to have it. Considering how stable the firmware is I don't think it's a big deal other then people not under the NDA have it; but again the software is very stable so I don't think Moto is overly worried about little, general leaks. The people over at XDA wanting OTA links and all this other stuff...that's what Moto really does not want. I'm willing to bet that it'll be a short soak test and nothing big will pop up.

Remember: most of the time, the soak test is the final release.

Adoptable storage is a feature of Marshmallow. It will work with any device that supports microSD cards and is running Marshmallow.

What class sd card do you have? The read and write speed may cause you issues

It's a class 10 card and it was fast and instantaneous (or nearly so) before the update. After the update it slowed to a crawl. However, this morning it was back to full speed and I've had no issues since. So, my suspicion is that the card was being "re-indexed" or whatever you would call it under Android and that was slowing things down. Since the card was renamed, Android was seeing it as new card and any links to the card (ringtones, music, photos) were lost and needed to be re-established. At least that's my theory unless someone has a better explanation. Plus it's a 128GB card that's nearly full so if it was being scanned or indexed it would take longer than someone with a smaller, less full card.

Hummm ... Google dropped 6.0 on Oct 5th ...Sat is Dec 5th ... bet Moto would love to be able to claim a two month time frame.

Awsome news

Re: Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Moto X Pure Edition

Hey it looks like the Pure will get Marshmallow before my Nexus 7 (2013 LTE), which theoretically has no excuses, so I have no complaints about Moto!

FYI My Htc One M8 is currently upgrading to marshmallow via OTA right now. Now waiting for Motorola.
