If you are still having this issue...try deleting the cached data. it is under storage in settings.

It must be because I'm not part of the soak test, and I have the update available on my X. I'm going to wait until I'm home to do it, since I don't want to be distracted.

I installed Lollipop and did a factory reset. All is good except for my Power Toggles widget which is nowhere to be found. I know the app is compatible with Lollipop, and the app is there, and so are my settings (like my toggle folders), but whenever I try to add a homescreen widget, there's no Power Toggles widget. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled to no avail. Dang. I know it must be something I'm doing wrong, but darned if I can figure it out. Anybody got any suggestions? The app isn't really doing me any good if I can't add a homescreen widget. Other than that disappointment (and the pain of doing a factory reset) I'm not having any issues with Lollipop thus far.

Okay I don't know why this worked, but I did a system cache wipe and for some reason all the widgets are there, including Power Toggles. Weird. I guess maybe after I did the factory reset and then restored my backups, I needed to do the cache wipe to fix the widgets. Anyways now I'm happy.
I'll give it a few days to see how Lollipop affects my battery life. I'm not crazy about the sound settings, but I knew that going in. I'll get used to that I'm sure.

So far so good with me. It has only been less than a day but my battery life is the same as on KitKat if not better. I'm sure doing the factory reset has something to do with that though.

Only do the following one step at a time and waiting a few days in between to see how your battery life is doing between each... the last is the ultimate and final fallback, but if are really having bad battery life then this is what I would do.
First, Settings > Storage > wait for it to calculate all the values, then long press Cached Data, clear that.
Next if that does not work you might want to do a System Cache Wipe. A bit more complex, but the instructions are online if you google it.
Finally, if that is not doing the trick... back up what you can into the cloud, then do a Factory Wipe... you might have something running in the background and this is the ultimate way of resetting things and building your device clean.
Is a factory wipe and factory reset the same thing? Showing my age. If I have to do either, I assume I will lose all my contacts, messages, texts, etc. and have to start over. If so, no way I will do that. To hard to input all that info back into the phone. A lot of info did not transfer from my 2013 X to my current 2014 X. I guess this is the exercise one must do for the improved system. Really don't have any issues with kit kat. Was hoping lollipop would be an easy install.
I think everybody on AT&T should set a Date, Call AT&T and say release Lollipop or we will leave and go to another carries IN 2 days.
And actually do it.
When you call AT&T about anything, they are nice, but nobody does anything. but make excuses.
I've tried to talk to them for 8 yrs. And I have heard is excuses. Or it will get better.
About service, dropped calls, text not working, Data and everything.
Now they are the last to get Lollipop.

The last.... NO, NO, NO...
Maybe the last Moto X (2014), but not the last smartphone. And not even the last new Motorola... go ask anyone that has the Verizon Moto Turbo (that Motorola that was release exclusively on Verizon after the new Moto X)... they have not seen Lollipop.
Crap!!!
Touched the wrong notification message on the lollipop update. Did not realize it until moments ago. Did not want lollipop. 80% downloaded. I'm toast. Arhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Just DO IT! You know you want it! Seriously though - I've had no problems at all with Lollipop on mine and the battery life is great. Better than KitKat. Not everybody has had a bad experience with it, but I would certainly recommend at least a cache wipe afterward.

Totally agree with sharkita. I've been using the 5.0 update on my Pure Edition since the last solid release, and updated my AT&T version on day one. I did not switch over to the AT&T version until this weekend, but have been using it all day without any issues. I'm not exactly sure what the difference is between 5.0 and 5.0.2, but it's a solid release as far as I can tell.

No love for the Pure Edition. I guess they forgot about it and jumped straight to updating carrier devices first.
Really wished somebody could tell me what Pure Edition is and if you got Lollipop how you did it.
I'm old and can't figure out some of the things the younger generation does.
As I am old too, I will try to help you out
Pure Edition is the model you can buy directly from Motorola that is not attached to a specific service provider such as AT&T or Verizon.
If you have AT&T, go to Settings, then click on About Phone, and finally, click on Software Updates. It should then tell you if there is a software update available, or not. If it does, follow the instructions to update.

I got a AT&T samsung Galaxy s5 I paid full price for. And I been going to about phone and trying to do a update.
And it will not do it.
Don't think the pure edition from Motorola is gonna give me the functions the Samsung is giving me.
Thanks.
The Pure Edition does not have all the service provider software that is added on. It is basically straight android with a few motorola tweaks like the Drive mode, etc.

And to add just a little to the above statements... the Pure Edition is built specifically for GSM networks, which is to say it will work on AT&T or T-Mobile. No Pure Edition was built for Verizon (which works on a CDMA network) mainly because they want to be in control of any devices on their network. The Pure Edition is carrier neutral. They have no carrier specific bloat apps... like AT&T's Navigator or AT&T's Mail... it's about as close to a Pure Android device as you can get without buying a Nexus device.
Usually the update process can take about 10-15 minutes once the software has been downloaded and you are installing the update... this usually doesn't require any other interaction from you except to click on the install button. You can see what version you are running on your device by going to the Settings, then About Phone and look at the Android version number.
