Verizon Moto X 4.4 Soak tests are beginning which means...

[Zorro1]

This past update was a gutted mess. Too many different threads across multiple forums. It was definitely a proverbial cluster ****.

Yeah, but only for the rooters mostly! Again, I wish we could split the boards so that the non-rooters don't have to read every panicked post and wondering if it's going to happen to them only to discover that, no, this is for roots.

Try before. I'm estimating December 1st. Remember, the Moto X software is pretty much the same on the Droid Lines.

I doubt it'll start rolling out for the 2013 DROID line before all the Moto X models. AT&T, T-Mobile/unbranded, Sprint, and US Cellular users are still waiting.

I totally agree. Rooted users having problems don't seem to read the documentation or forums on xda, which normally state to unroot before updating or decline the update. And then the posts related to normal update problems get highjacked with their issues for ignoring instructions. (And yes, I am for rooting, but please educate yourself before you change the phone.)

At this point I really think that you should only root with a dev edition phone - especially now that they stay under warranty if you unlock the bootloader.

Now they're saying that KK is rolling out for T-Mobile, if true this might be the fastest major update in history.

Kind of like the way this thread got hijacked by a discussion about further fragmenting the boards by setting up separate forums for rooted phones?

I think separate forums for Ultra, Mini and Maxx are unnecessary; the devices are almost identical, so most issues are the same among the variants. I wind up reading all three forums, but xda seems to get it done with one forum for all Ultra series devices.

Looking at the changelog... is it just me or does it sound like its not all that much exciting stuff for a new desert?

It doesn't seem like its all that much more exciting than the update they just pushed out - better camera focusing, more integrated Hangouts, pic edit in gallery (can't I do that now?), Find my phone (can't I do that now with just different words?), etc. Maybe the big stuff is under the hood.

It is more Under the Hood. remember all the talk about how this version of android can run on lower end hardware? Its more meant to try and give every phone out there a better chance of being updated to or at least made with the current version. Printer support was added for those in businesses who regularly need documents printed from emails and whatnot. Not the most glamourous feature, but it will definitely give companies a little more incentive to go Android instead of iOS or Blackberry for their company phones.

Its a lot of "Covering the bases" rather than giving people something flashy to brag about.

Totally agree I think there is a point where change is bad. Once you get a functioning easy to use and look at OS why change it for the sake of changing it. This update deserved a dessert name just for the fact it can run on a device with half a gig of ram. Just checked and my wife's RAZR m is getting kit kat. I don't think you are going to see huge design changes anymore. Just new features and smaller cosmetic changes. That is until technology allows for a game changer.

Yea, I hope no one does something like publishing a story saying so to give it away...
