Another quick update, we have started the soak test for the Android Lollipop 5.1 upgrade for Moto X (2nd Gen) on Verizon today. If all goes well we will open it up next week.

Anyone got Verizon 5.1 soak test?

Post performance here! I'm anxious to hear how battery life is (mine has NOT been great on 5.0).

No one will answer this...they all had to agree to Non-Disclosure.

Battery performance on the pure is much better.

Nice! I will pass it on as I see people asking about it.

I don't know about the battery yet (I just installed the soak test leak this morning), but I am extremely disappointed there is no Advanced Calling.

The lack of Advanced Calling is insulting. This was promised 90 day from the phones release and we still don't have it. As much as it pains me it has become apparent by this and the horribly delayed update schedule for their 2013 and 2014 phones that Motorola simply isn't large enough anymore without Google's ownership to properly compete in the smartphone market. Assuming we get a normal sized Nexus this fall I will likely be forced to go that route.

I just got a notification that there is a system update available, 497.8MB, downloading now. I'm assuming this is 5.1. Moto X on VZW

Just got the notification, it's a 497.8 MB file so on this wifi might take a while to download

Only downside is the lack of VoLTE was really looking forward to that.

Notified and downloading now....

Re: Moto X (2nd gen): Lollipop 5.1 Verizon

Hmm, an Emergency Alerts app was added to my phone, and of course it can't be disabled.

Love you, Verizon!

Re: Moto X (2nd gen): Lollipop 5.1 Verizon

Does anyone know why Advanced Calling was not included? I swore I read all over the web in the last few weeks that the whole reason VZW skipped on 5.0.2 (or whatever it was) and went straight to 5.1 was becuase 5.1 includes native support for VoLTE.

Also, @Gone down south, I bought my Moto X (2014) with 5.0 installed, and I've had the Emergency Alert app the whole time. I had something similar on my Moto X 2013 running 4.4.

Checked for update this morning: Nothing. Checked for updated ten minutes ago: Bingo! (So much for the theory that you only get one shot at the update button.)

I was discussing this with one of Motorola lead engineers and he said that issue is on Verizon's end. They (Verizon) needs to write and app to allow the moto x to use Advanced Calling. Take it for what its worth = not much but I thought I would pass it along.

Hmmph... only 5.1. Was hoping for the LATEST...
