And what are these fixes in 6.0.1 that would help our phones?Maybe they are planning to take us straight to Nougat (7.0), but there were security fixes in 6.0.1 that sure would help our phones !!
Android Security | Includes the updates of Android security patches until March 1st 2016. |
Power button to launch camera | You can now launch the camera by double-pressing the power button. |
Camera shutter tone switch | The camera shutter tone switch is back. Now you can turn off and on the sound of the camera shutter at any time. |
Stability Improvements | Includes changes that fix bugs and improve the stability of your phone. |
Stability improvements? What bugs do we have and what stability problems? I'm not saying this phone is perfect, but I can't find a major flaw that causes me issues.Read your last sentence...
I'm not trying to argue either... 6.0.1 seems to have been rolled out on an "as needed" basis, and Moto may have just decided to skip it for this device... I would also agree that likely won't get it at this point and will go directly to Nougat.I'm trying to be optimistic, not argue, ignores poster.....

And what's your point? It is a known fact that VoLTE on Moto with both Verizon and T-Mo is problematic for some people, and others have no issue... it doesn't effect everyone though, and most people have perfectly clear 3G/GSM voice on Tmo and CDMA voice on Verizon. We also know that VoLTE does not work at all on Jio (a huge VoLTE only carrier in India). These issues don't effect carriers like AT&T or Sprint because they don't allow non-carrier branded phones to access those features. And to be honest, it was problematic on LP as well...The Moto X Pure on T-Mobile has an awful bug related to voLTE and chopped voice calls on our end. Lenovo knows about it and chosen not to address. I have posted a question here trying to find out if anyone has this phone on T-MO and no answers after 110 views. My post has a link to a discussion thread at the Lenovo Forums where people are really pissed about that. It started after the MM update as I've heard LP was fine.

Now, I am no Moto fanboy, I have had several of them but also LG, Samsung, HTC, Huawei, ZTE Axon, and other devices... The fact is Lenovo doesn't really care about any device over 6 months old, they are NOT Motorola, Moto as we knew it does not exist anymore, heck 90% of their workforce has been let go, but Lenovo just wants you to buy a new device. Is it right, nope, not at all... especially since many of us purchased these device with the promise of fast updates, assuming this also meant quick bug fixes, and until about a year or so ago that was what we had, but Lenovo has pushed Moto into it's cycle of planned obsolescence, and they don't care how you feel about it, heck even when nearly 15,000 people sign a petition, Motovono doesn't even bother to acknowledge it, much less consider doing anything about it, they just want you to buy a new device.
We all know it, and there is nothing we can do about it... Nothing that will make Moto take up any notice apparently, even if every Moto owner on this forum chose not to buy another Moto product, they would barely notice since they now have Amazon on their side and the Moto G4 is one of the best selling and rated unlocked device in the world this year, surpassing even what the Moto G 2015 sold last year (which was the best selling Moto has ever had).
So what am I trying to say... Will Moto fix it? Perhaps with the Nougat update next year, if that happens (it is supposed to, but I'll believe it when I see it), perhaps they won't fix it all and they will blame it on a hardware issue or incompatibility, or maybe they will just continue the status quo of not even acknowledging the problem is a real problem. Welcome to the disposable economy of today.
No, it is worse... significantly. Although Motorola wasn't the cream of the crop before purchased by Google, there was a worse and they were innovators in the Android market, consider the Motorola Droid, and they were much more responsive to problems and upgrades than today. When the spin-off Motorola Mobility was purchased by Google in 2011 it improved a lot over the next few years, and at first after the purchase by Lenovo in October of 2014 it seemed things would stay fairly status quo, but from about August 2015 to March 2016 with Lenovo integrating Moto into their outlook and stance changed... and no Lenovo has announced there will be no more Vibe phones, everything will be under Moto, the final nail was driven in and the customers are left holding the bag. It's a sad story for what was an American giant in technology.People fell in love with the Motorola under Google. But Motorola under Lenovo is just like the old Motorola.

Yeah, but at least they got them eventually.Tell that to people who waited on updates to the DROID 2, DROID Pro, DROID Bionic, DROID RAZR, etc., etc., etc...
Well, some did... Maybe you're right, it's no better. Lol...did they?
