[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
That's completely your call... The Nougat update won't likely roll out to the public for 1-3 months. Not really the topic of this thread. For the lag issue, have you tried wiping the cache partition?

This was a word of advice to another user... if you are given a survey or accepted into any kind of Moto beta or test drive program and actually want to participate in it or something further down the road, keep quiet about it... You agreed to a Non-disclosure Agreement that IS legally binding.

We all want to talk and let others know about something exciting, but I can tell you that Lenovo/Moto actively watches this and other forums for such postings and may chose to exercise it's right to preclude you from the current (and or future) trials or test drives, and possibly pursue legal action.

I do not work for Moto and am not connected with them, just been an active and long time Moto user here and other forums including the official Lenovo support forums. This is taken quite seriously.

All that said, take it how you wish and if you feel you really have nothing to lose... well, that is your choice.

I think the leaked specs must be of Moto X play
[X Style (Pure) General] npatel555:
according to Android Police , soak test for moto x pure 2015 has started in the United States as well. Looks like we are 2-3 weeks away from official rollout.
[X Style (Pure) General] Knight-Rider:
Android Authority reported that as well but you can't speculate that it's going to be 2-3 weeks without proof lol come on now.
[X Style (Pure) General] autosurgeon:
It all will depend on how the first few builds work. If they are mostly bug free it could go very fast. Or it might not
[X Style (Pure) General] aybarrap1:
We can always hope. With this phone being mostly vanilla stock, I hope it goes very smooth. Looking at the options out in the phone market right now, I think sticking with this device another year or so will not be too hard once we get nougat. For the most part this has been a solid phone for me and the battery is not that bad considering the turbo charging.
[X Style (Pure) General] autosurgeon:
I agree it is a solid phone.
[X Style (Pure) General] Knight-Rider:
Yes considering that the Moto X 2017 will only have 32gb of internal memory per leaked pics and info that Android Authority posted.

LOL u just missed something that we needed ?
[X Style (Pure) General] CLETjB:
Just seen this article yesterday

http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/03/28/moto-x-pure-may-receive-nougat-soon-soak-test-notifications-going-owners/

Motorola released the Moto X Pure two years ago, as the North American equivalent of the Moto X Style. It was released about a month before the release of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and received the update about two months later. Motorola doesn't seem to care about fast updates these days, so it should be no surprise that the Moto X Pure is still waiting for Android 7.0/7.1 Nougat.

Motorola sent out the following message to some Moto X Pure owners in the United States, indicating a soak test will be released very soon:
[X Style (Pure) General] mohan_168:
I regularly checked my moto profile for an update; never thought they'd send an email :-/
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
Just an FYI to those wondering... I've been in trials and soak tests in the past, more than one.

If you're​ device is registered with Moto for MFN with the correct serial number and you are considered for any trial or soak test, you will be contacted via email to fill out an online survey. If the answers to the survey are acceptable, you will receive an email to join the program, and after you join you will be pushed the update. You have a very limited window to respond, typically only a few days. Once you have accepted the terms as listed in the survey, you are under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (gag order) and cannot discuss it legally with anyone, even your carrier.

To be considered you must be stock, pure unrooted stock (you must also agree not to root or modify your device in any way while participating in the test), although unlocking by itself does not seem to exclude you. You must have your Moto ID active on your device, and it seems you must also have both Moto Privacy options enabled. Also be aware activity on the Lenovo forums is usually a requirement (most surveys require you to link to a post you have made there) since participating in the tests specific discussion area is required. And if I remember correctly, once you accepted into some MFN test you will not be able to post anything on the normal Lenovo forums until the test is concluded (only the special group for that test).

If you don't seem to get anything for betas or trials, this might help explain why...
[X Style (Pure) General] autosurgeon:
As one of the mods said in the Lenovo forums yes it might be coming but not to those that cannot keep a secret. After several knuckle heads posted the text of the email over there. I suspect some of them are over here watching and it's not hard to figure out who is who.
[X Style (Pure) General] aybarrap1:
Phones like the 2016 Moto Z series were quick to get the nougat update so they are quick on updates. Considering these were the latest phone releases, it is right inline with other phone manufactures on updates. The latest rehear is focused on first, then the older models. After 18 months the phone might get security updates, after 24 support is gone
[X Style (Pure) General] Ashenphoenix:
That must be the first phone with 5G.:D
[X Style (Pure) General] BackDaws:
Soon as we get Nougat how much do you want to bet we get terrible battery drain ?
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
It's the Moto G 5, as in 5th generation... It was announced last month.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Lol... We already have that, but Nougat should help some but it won't effect the cause of 75% of most people's battery usage which is the power hungry display panel.

If battery drain is a huge issue, factory reset... In fact I typically recommend that for any major upgrade regardless, whether it's Lollipop to Marshmallow or Marshmallow to Nougat, a factory reset is a good idea.
[X Style (Pure) General] autosurgeon:
I always factory reset after any major OS update. It's like having a new phone and it cleans out all the leftovers that cause weird problems
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
Soak test build for Indian variant doesn't show any signs of VoLTE yet ? Battery life has been well improved.
[X Style (Pure) General] Invicta:
Are you using it ? How is the performance ?
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
I'm not using it but I'm a member of a facebook group and this was reported there. Also I asked the same question as you did and here's the reply for that: Performance is way smoother as usual.. But seeing a major improvement in Battery. I was used to geyt average (100% to 30%) during 9am to 1pm on regular usage. Now (100% to 30%) runs till 5pm without any issues. Really happy with this..
[X Style (Pure) General] smallmj:
That sounds really good.
[X Style (Pure) General] Ashenphoenix:
I know the Moto G5, but you said Moto 5G.

(Mod Edit: not needed)

Anyway I think the Moto G5 is a great phone, though I don't have one, it's a mid-range phone. If someone was looking for a great mid-range phone, I'd suggest the Moto G5 (I have a first gen. Moto G, which I used for almost 3 years, but it still works perfectly).

I love my Moto X Pure and I don't want to replace it for quite a long time.

I still don't know what's your problem with Lenovo exactly... I can't really say anything about Lenovo (yet), Moto Z was an ambitious idea, but I don't think it's too great. I'm curious to see what they'll announce this year (apart from Moto G5 and G5 plus) whether they go to a good or a bad direction. A new Moto X would be a great thing with Moto Maker and similar look to the X Pure. :)

[X Style (Pure) General] Muffycheeks:
All I want from this is the radios and Boot-Loader.
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
No offense, but why? The bootloader is not relevant (or did you mean kernel source code) and do you really think the radios are going to be any different?
[X Style (Pure) General] Invicta:
all i want is to be able to change the resolution to 1080p, with no problems caused to moto apps. Please!
[X Style (Pure) General] Muffycheeks:
I very seldom use a stock rom, my choice is mostly custom. Therefore I want the latest bootloader and radios, if there are any changes, just for sake of being up-to-date.
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
An Indian user on Google+ has reported he has received the public roll out update on his phone without registering for soak test. Don't know if it's true or not. I checked mine and haven't got it yet. Please someone else from India check for update on your phone.

Here's the link to the post: https://plus.google.com/102507913800547602711/posts/KMwxWMnDw7G
[X Style (Pure) General] CostasV23:
If it's true it's about time ?
[X Style (Pure) General] Sagar_1401:
Ill have to go back to stock now :/ if its not true then ill report and if its true ill provide the .zip file or the download link for retasia ds asap

And i think thats fake caus there is no proof of any screenshot.. If it was really out then he would have just provided the screenshot
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
Yes I too feel the same. If Indian stock users can confirm it, it would be clear then.
[X Style (Pure) General] Aleycat:
He has shared the screenshot as well, if he's not lying (and does not seem that he is lying) then they have not released VoLTE support which is a huge problem. If that's confirmed will immediately sell my phone.
[X Style (Pure) General] Sagar_1401:
Yes its legit moto spokesperson just said that to me no volte

I know how that feels but this phone has lots of features that no other phones have like (dual front facing speakers,4k,near to stock experience, 21mp camera) if you see this days the same phone will come around 30k+ but moto just really made this phone flagship..

I'll just wait for other oneplus model till then moto :)
[X Style (Pure) General] Invicta:
Why is it so huge deal the volte ?
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
Currently in India, most of the 4G users are using Reliance Jio as their carrier network. Having VoLTE, one can call via Jio simply by dialing a number from the stock phone app, also you don't need to enable 4G data while calling. If your phone doesn't has VoLTE, you need to install an app for calling and receiving calls via the Jio network. Also you need to keep the data on all the time (which drains a lot of battery) and the app continuously needs to be running in the background.
[X Style (Pure) General] tech_infinity:
On the topic of nougat update, will we not be able to root for sometime?

And should we keep the BOOTLOADER unlocked or lock it.
[X Style (Pure) General] meow-meow:
When for Thailand
[X Style (Pure) General] Aleycat:
What AsquareX said, also:

Long story short, a telecom operator in India has decided to enter the market by offering a year free of 4G LTE with free calling over VoLTE and SMS. The second year around the prices are approximately 1/5th of what I would pay with my regular carrier, which makes it a necessity to have a VoLTE enabled phone. (around 5$ for free calling/SMS and 28GB of 4G Internet per month, in case anyone was wondering)

Here I am sitting with my "Flagship" device while my friends with a Moto G3 and moto X Play already have VoLTE enabled. Lenovo has also released updates for their other mid range phones specifically because of the demand of VoLTE in India.

If you ask me I have a feeling lenovo spitefully decided to drop support for the moto X style thinking that we would buy another moto/lenovo flagship. Jokes on them, this is my last Lenovo/Motorola device for sure.
[X Style (Pure) General] CostasV23:
This is the " proof" screenshot we have . Seems legit tbh
[X Style (Pure) General] Sagar_1401:
I just tried but didn't recieve it in my device even I'm from India

That seems to be a soak test I guess as the screenshot doesn't shows the kernal version and build no..
[X Style (Pure) General] CostasV23:
I don't think it's just bam every retin gets it . It slowly rolls out everywhere
[X Style (Pure) General] kkxxgys777:
Please upload
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
Unless an until some other Indian variant user or anyone else who hasn't enrolled in soak test gets an update it remains to appear fake. It looks like it's a screenshot of soak test build. However I was following that post and he captured screenshot at 10:58 and posted it somewhere around 11:05-10, so only this thing makes me to believe he wasn't lying or something.
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
These rollouts usually occur in waves over several weeks... Starting with a very small percentage of handsets, then a waiting period to see if there are any issues, then a larger group followed by another waiting period, then a full roll-out. It is not unusual that you wouldn't get it.
[X Style (Pure) General] BackDaws:
What's voice over LTE all about ?

Ignore my question i read the comments a few pages back, i personally couldn't give a flying monkey :laugh:
[X Style (Pure) General] strafer69:
When in the US? I've heard of people getting emails for the invite. I've had every Moto X since the beginning and never heard anything even though I've registered for the MFN on every device. Just wondering if Moto has rolled it out or is it still just vaporware?
[X Style (Pure) General] ominousnimbus:
Judging by previous updates, the U.S. variant (XT1575) is the red-headed stepchild to the XT1572 and will probably get the update weeks after many other regions.
[X Style (Pure) General] CostasV23:
I'm reteu so can't do anything
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
Only those people get that email who have registered for soak test.
[X Style (Pure) General] Sagar_1401:
registration is not the process to get into soak test

you will recieve the mail from moto to fill the survey and fill something (which even idk)

and if they like or are satisfied by your survey they will send you a non disclosure email and you have to agree to that

after that they will email you to check for the update and bam you get into soak test...

but remember filling the survey is a difficult task as to satisfy the Motorola Feedback Network

And ppl who breaks the non disclosure t&c they will immediately be out for next future upcoming test's
[X Style (Pure) General] gemtin92:
Yea, but there wont be any future test. We wont get android 8 so anyway.

Tapatapatap Moto X Style
[X Style (Pure) General] Ashenphoenix:
But if you buy a new Moto phone, then there'll be tests. :)

I'm in the MFN for maybe 8 (not sure when it started, maybe with OG DROID) years now, but if you break the NDA, you'll be out forever.
[X Style (Pure) General] Sagar_1401:
how sure can you be about that? not even oneplus or lg have received any news about that and you are so confident that we won't get it

??

don't spread rumours for gods sake let official news come on moto blogspot then we can talk about it
[X Style (Pure) General] BruceWayne54:
Its because no Moto phone had received more than 2 versions newer than what they shipped with.... Most android phones don't get more updates than that too. It's not spreading rumors it's just a well backed assumption.
[X Style (Pure) General] aybarrap1:
The key word here is assumption. I will agree the probability of not getting the next major release (Android O) on the MXPE is extremely high given standard business practices from OEM companies but not definite until official word is given.
[X Style (Pure) General] abense:
So with this, do all the other nougat ROMs finally receive the missing drivers that they need??
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
Android Headlines reports Nougat update for public starts rolling out in India. Finally something like a trustworthy news. ?
[X Style (Pure) General] jason2678:
We'll have real 7.0 proprietary blobs once someone posts a system dump. If there is anything devs had to shim or hack around inside the rom to get working without proper 7.0 board support, they might be able to unwind that now. I'm hopeful that the quality of N custom roms will improve; they're already pretty good.
[X Style (Pure) General] Sagar_1401:
i didnt receive the update

tried removing sim,rebooting but didnt workout for me
[X Style (Pure) General] tech_infinity:
Oh

Hope only his source isn't the google plus post that you linked :p
[X Style (Pure) General] PsychoTribe:
I think the source came from here :D
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
Haha let's hope it isn't :p it's one of the major website, that's why I mentioned trustworthy in my last post.
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
Rollouts are staggered by IMEI... All these supposed "methods" to get it quickly are placebos. It takes weeks for rollouts to complete. They do this mitigate potential issues en masse and to control server loads. Just be patient.
[X Style (Pure) General] Sagar_1401:
ok but what if i just captured the ota?

can others flash it?
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
In theory, yes... Although I haven't seen it done with Moto's, it does (read: should) have the capability to apply it like a Nexus/Pixel device.

If you have the correct OTA ZIP file for your variant, keeping in mind that OTA's are specific on the from and to versions, meaning an OTA ZIP is for a specific version and build number and will only apply to that version.

Place the ZIP file in your adb directory, start recovery on your device and go to the menu, then select Apply update from ADB. Then on your computer enter `adb sideload {ota zip filename}` and wait for it to process to complete.

I have some concern this would fail though, since we are limited in the file size that can be flashed directly (at least by fastboot) which is why the system.img is in sparcechunks.

But you can't just place it in the same folder on the device and reboot... it doesn't work that way since the Moto Update application has to set a flag to tell recovery to process the file.
[X Style (Pure) General] ghitus:
All you 've said is right for sure. I'm a noob and I've only to learn. But I've just one question : why can I find the marshmallow installation files for the Moto X Style available on this forum? There' s a zip file which contains all the files (the "sparsechunks" you've mentioned above) I've to flash via adb. Is there a way to do the same thing once the ota is captured?

I'm sorry if I've said silly things.

Gaetano.

[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
I don't understand your question... But do not confuse adb with fastboot, they are two distinct different things.

Factory firmware images are done with fastboot only, there is no other way... An OTA is applied with stock recovery to a working system, and adb sideload is a special case for a specific purpose.
[X Style (Pure) General] Invicta:
I has the same question . Can i flash via fastboot stock image files ? Its always better thiw way rather updating
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
Sure... When/if we get the factory images.
[X Style (Pure) General] Invicta:
Latest 6.0.1 ???? Xt 1572
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:

[X Style (Pure) General] Knight-Rider:
It'll probably be until June for official to release as previously stated by lenovo/motorola.
[X Style (Pure) General] vinayrahul:
Do you know of anybody who has got the update so far :/:crying:
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
Oddly, no... No rumors, no leaks, no gossip... nothing.

The only thing I heard was a rumor (unverified) that someone said Nougat had an issue and was delayed until June, for the US at least.

Supposedly the roll-out in India/Asia had started a couple weeks ago, but I seriously doubt it, or we would see a ton of threads about "How to take OTA with TWRP/root" or other weird issues we always see posted about with an Android upgrade, and it's been quiet on all forums I frequent.

My feeling is the Nougat roll-out, maybe even some soak tests, ran into significant enough issue to halt the process and "send it" back to the developers for fixing of some issue(s). This usually backs things up a couple months, which puts things in-line with the time frame mentioned in the rumor above. :/
[X Style (Pure) General] AsquareX:
I'm a part of a Facebook group where few users have updated to the soak build. According to them performance and battery life has been improved.
