I can't wait for this new Kit Kat update. I am hoping the low light improvement to the camera pans out. I'm kind of obsessed with it as I am constantly checking here and the Moto X forums for news.

Re: 4.4.2 update

With the last two OTAs the Maxx has started a soak test about 4-6 weeks after the first OTA update to the Moto X, and after all of the US carriers have updated their X. We're still waiting for the AT&T and Verizon Moto X to get 4.4.2. (Maybe Sprint too?)

If history repeats that suggests that you can relax a bit and really start looking in about 3 weeks or so.
 
Re: 4.4.2 update

I thought I read that sprint was already getting the update. Not sure about AT&T and I am on Verizon so... I think if there wasn't so much damn snow around here and constantly being stuck inside, it wouldnt be so bad. I enjoy taking pics of outdoor scenes more than indoor low light scenes. I think the camera is decent but the pictures I have seen with the Moto X camera update look much better in low light.

Uh boy...hope there's a way to keep root, or else I is an update no-go!

fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
 
Re: 4.4.2 update

Well, Verizon Moto X is getting the soak test now so shouldn't be too long for us.
 
Re: 4.4.2 update

Im guessing and hoping that were next in line for the update in the coming weeks. If we are, Id imagine a soak test in a few weeks.

Punit Soni has deflected all droid updates to David Schuster's G+.

From what I gathered, we should see 4.4.2 invites this week. Also, according to David, the blue icons will be gone and we will have a full version of Kit Kat in the next update, instead of this quasi form that we are on.
 
Re: 4.4.2 update

Thats awesome!! I seriously cant remember when the last time when my phone had the latest version of android was. Hopefully Ill be one of the lucky ones to get a soak invite.

"You may get your wish" doesn't necessarily mean the thing about the icons. He may have been responding to the "please make it soon".

I'm going to say it has to do with both. I have a feeling the blue is officially going away.
 
Re: 4.4.2 update

Exactly, theres no reason why the software would differ from what we have already seen on the Xs update. That would further slow things down from them updating it for the Droids.

Re: 4.4.2 update

I like the blue icons too. That way you can see if you are actually connected to the Internet or not. The gray ones don't change color when you lose connectivity. I hate that! My connection comes and goes all the time, so I really like knowing.

Re: 4.4.2 update

I'm not touching this update. I'm good with 4.4 and root. I'm not risking losing it.
 
Re: 4.4.2 update

How do you not touch it? The last update I didn't have a choice. I either had to update now or later.
 
Re: 4.4.2 update

Soak testing it right now so check your phones they are sending some out.

I've read on XDA that you can disable the MotorolaOTA app and that will stop the phone from looking for updates.
 
Re: 4.4.2 update

How do you, get the invite to be part of the soak test? I would really like to participate in it.


Thanks.
