I was about to create a thread about this but isn't this what every one wanted??

all android phones get update faster?? now when they do threads like this popup, its not fair to complain...

nexus factory image is out there and pushing update is easy.


To ur actual question, it will be out soon.

Remember, it is only soak testing right now for the Moto X... and if you know Verizon (I was with them for many years with multiple devices), that means the general roll-out is anywhere from one week to two months away, but it is typically around a month assuming there are no issues.

Be patient, the OTA will come to us... it bugs the crap out of me as well, but there must be a reason, the silense on Google's part is what gets me more than anything. There is a lot of talk on other forums that Google was using the factory images as a "soak test" to check for bugs before the general OTA roll-out, and there have been a handful of bugs found.

Oh I'm patient, when people were raging 2 days after kitkat was announced about not having it, I was patient. Heck I was patient right up until I read the post, but before the nexus 4, it feels weird.

Then to make it worse you have these people going omg sideload it. That's not what I'm asking for.

Maybe I expected to much.


Take this as a warning Nexus 5 owners of what's to come, the rapture of nexus devices!!!

I figured the OTA update for my Nexus 4 would've definitely been out by now.

Guess the Nexus 4 is old news. Certainly makes me think twice about purchasing a Nexus 5.

I did too, but Google has to be very careful here because if they snub their nose at the Nexus 4 they're putting out a really bad rap for themselves for the future. I'm hoping we see it before the end of the week with an explanation as to why it did not come out right away.

There's no indication on Moto's website that this is a soak test. It looks like the full deal, rolled out in stages. Soak tests were generally announced on their forums or through email, and you had to opt in to get on the list for candidacy. This is "hey, we're rolling out 4.4 starting today!"

Yes, it's awesome that a non-Nexus device is getting the latest update so quickly, especially since it's on Verizon (that's hell freezing over news right there). But it's a fundamental change from how Nexus devices (the Verizon GNex a notable and glaring exception) operated in the past. Yes, the image is out there and anyone can go sideload it if they want. It still feels like a betrayal of the Nexus program to see the update roll out OTA to non-Nexus devices before Google has even announced the process for Nexus (and Google Play Edition) phones. It really does make me question whether picking up a Nexus device is worth giving up some of the benefits of manufacturer customization to Android if future updates are just going to be delayed anyway (or even lag behind someone like Motorola).

Weird... Droid Life is saying its a soak test, at least that's what they said in a Facebook post earlier today. But I guess Motorolas official site would be more accurate, I stand corrected.

It seems like all Verizon Moto X owners are getting the OTA update now.

A lot of people are replying to his post wondering where the Nexus 4 update is. No response as of yet...

I think something went wrong. Or Google might be adding LTE capability for the nexus.

people are on the google + feed are pissed. "Sad thing is I have a n5 and it's really not ready. Reminds me of a Sammy release. I think +Sundar Pichai is going to destroy Android. The hard-core "fanboys" like me are f$#ked the moment this chrome nazi dismembered Android management staff. He has even effected aosp. It's mind boggling, nsa slaves"

Something went wrong I think... Seems to me I read if they were going to enable LTE in the N4 they would have to resubmit to FCC for approval, not likely.

Judging by the new factory image going out, it definitely looks like there was a bug they wanted to fix before it hit the N4 masses. That's an explanation I can buy.

I don't mind a delay to squash a bug, in fact I approve of such a delay, but tell us, don't go radio silent and then just post a new image and say oh by the way we fixed a bug /bugs.

Google's biggest failing is the issues communication with us end users.
