Looks like Luciano Carvalho has been stepping up in the old Punit Soni role. Luciano has been replying to people on Google+ re: Motorola's Lollipop updates and has consolidated an update in a post on his own Google+ page.

First of all: peace! :-) There is so much anger floating around this topic, I just want to reassure we're working really hard on it, and, as promised, our Moto products from 2014 and 2013 will be updated to Lollipop really soon.

At this point, you may have already heard that some people are receiving 5.0.2 based OTA pushes. That's a limited soak test roll out for some of our products in different regions of the world. The update will be pushed to a wider audience if no critical showstoppers are found by users who already received it.

Users on the 1st generation Moto products need to make sure they have the latest Motorola Updates Services from the Play Store. If you don't see it showing in your list of apps available for update (or it shows as not compatible) don't worry, it'll be available for you to download it really soon.

Updates of this nature take time. It's no secret that when 5.0 launched it still had bugs. And, when we update our products, we end up finding more bugs that need to be fixed. There are a lot of reasons for what that happen, but, basically, each phone has a unique set of components and a way they interact. When Google creates a new release, they don't validate it for all the possible combinations there are, and they won't fix anything that's not reproducible on a Nexus device, that's our job.

I hope you can appreciate the time we spend rounding up the performance and making sure you can continue to enjoy the awesome smooth experience of the amazing Moto products you've come to know and love.

Thank you all for the loyalty and support!


While Motorola released Lollipop updates to non-Nexus and non-GPe devices out before anyone else, it did come with some issues. It's nice to see Motorola acknowledging the drawbacks of being first and keeping us updated on their progress. It sounds like we'll see updates to Motorola devices already running Lollipop in the near future and updates for even older models (like the first generation Moto X, DROID MINI/ULTRA/MAXX) coming soon.

. . . And if my Maxx is on VZW I can expect it to be even longer, eh?

Your Maxx will always be a Verizon device. Historically, the DROID line was after the Moto line (same generation).

*Patiently awaiting the Android L update for my second gen Moto G.*

I don't know why people get so ****y about this. Either the people who whine don't know anything about software development, or they feel so entitled they willfully ignore everything except their own trivial annoyances.

Kudos to Luciano and Motorola for handling the rabid, spoiled crowds with more grace than I'll ever manage.
 
The 3G symbol (H+) doesn't gets displayed while the network is on roaming. This occurred after I updated to lollipop updated. I own moto x 2nd gen.
