Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

How many moto x or nexus 6 users are reporting issues with lollipop? That would be more relevant to the turbo than samsung, HTC, or lg phones.

It actually has more to do with the version of lollipop they go with. Turbo is supposed to skip the other versions and go with 5.1, which is good, unless you are impatient and think it should be upgraded quickly. I'd rather wait and have a good version instead of the crap the other OEMs released. Some refuse to see we will probably be better off waiting.

I don't refuse to see anything. There are simply things I don't see. Like some broad view of just how mild or severe, widespread or rare, the issues people have had really are.

I've said before, I take people at their word when they say they're having issues with their phone. That doesn't mean their issue is a widespread one. Nor does it mean all issues are severe. I can go to any forum for any phone and find people with issues.

That's all I'm saying. That the supposed severity and spread of Lollipop issues doesn't jibe with the fairly quiet coverage it has received.

The 2014 Moto X on Verizon is not at 5.1. Are people having lots of problems with it?

I honestly don't know, though I really haven't heard that there are terrible problems on the Moto X with lollipop. It's possible that I just missed it.

You are correct, there really is no way to know how widespread the issues may be for any update. I suppose one could argue that the Lollipop has been seeing a fair amount of updates since it's release in November. If there wasn't any widespread problems we wouldn't of had a 5.0, 5.01, 5.02, and 5.1 in about 4 or 5 months time. Obviously there were some issues in the first 3 that needed to be corrected.
 
I understand as well, but when you see many forums with everyone agreeing with the same problems, its a widespread issue. Then when you come to a droid turbo forum and see WiFi issue? As a post and no one can agree with it or knew it existed...then it may not be a widespread issue. I see many many complaints about 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2. Therefore I don't want it in my dd. 5.1 is supposed to fix it so let's hope it does and move on to lollipop

I use the Verizon Moto X 2014 and the Nexus 6 on Verizon. No stability or battery or noticeable issues with either.

Well, sure. There are always things that can be improved and fixed. I don't contest that. The incremental updates aren't a new thing to Android, though. Yet, I certainly get the feeling the issues are being discussed as being more and worse than usual.

At the heart of my original point is this: how long do you wait for the next update, knowing that you're never going to get a perfect one?

You see many people with the same problems, or many different problems?
 
If you want to see some of the issues all you have to do is go surf some of the other phone forums like the Sammy S4 and S5 . The S4 has a problem where the OS keeps turning the Volume down for no reason . Sammy is telling the owners Not to FDR because it actually makes the problem worse .

I had this problem for a few weeks on my Turbo with Kit Kat and there was a thread about it here too. It hasn't happened in a while to me. I am wondering if something else besides the OS was causing this issue.
 
LG G3, would be another phone that has had issues with lollipop. I gave up on it and bought a turbo after a few weeks of that crappy update. Now the wife finally updated hers and it is another POS I'll have to replace soon. I can wait for a better version of lollipop than what LG released.

My friend at work has a LG3 also, LP killed his battery not sure if anything else got messed up .

Yeah, getting through the day on one charge was normal until LP. After the update I would go through it almost twice in a day. Apparently wifi had some issues with Gmail syncing as well.

Well Android M was just announced and still no lollipop. Guessing the Turbo will never see Android M.

For no reason other than a guess, I'd feel more inclined to believe we'll never see lollipop, and go straight to M.

So you think we will be one of the "first phones to get android M"....just like we were one of the "first phones to get lollipop". Oh, wait, sorry, darn auto correct, one of the "last phones to get lollipop" I meant!!!
