  • Starting tonight. Still no information on just what the update includes.

    • Android 4.4.4. Camera upgrades. Update gives a link to Verizon Wireless, but no detailed information there, yet. (As expected.)

  • My Verizon Moto X is still on 4.4.2 so it needs some attention too, although I’m sure Verizon won’t get in any hurry

  • Start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had.
    Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474
    this – 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was
    bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go to
    tech tab for work detail

    • Shake, open, snap. No problems here. Assuming you are using the stock camera and not the new Google Camera, I have a couple of these phones and have seen no problems. Might not be the best shooter in the world, but shake open from sleep is pretty sweet and something I use a lot.

  • All I got was an email for a survey. After completion, it said I would be included in a test. Nothing so far.

    • Same survey and process that we went through last year for Kit Katt. They open up the surveys and when they reach their target number of volunteers, they close the survey and push out the update. Takes a couple days. Then you will have 4.4.4 and almost like clockwork, everyone else gets it 14 days later.

  • Probably a patch to plug the hole allowing bootloader to be unlocked on non-dev phones and root that was patched in the last update. No thanks.

  • The soak test is an invite to the invitation to touch a OnePlusOne, smash your Droid, get invited to be on a list, then put in a lottery system to win an invitation to get on another list to get in line to buy the overhyped device.

  • Yet still no update for the Verizon Moto X… Motorola spoiled us with the update to 4.4.

  • Also on a side note, has anyone elses Google Play Services keep crashing on their Maxx? This started happening about a week ago and couldnt find anything on XDA

      • just before I looked at the receipt ov $8130 , I
        didn’t believe that my sister woz like actualy bringing in money part-time from
        there pretty old laptop. . there aunts neighbour has been doing this 4 only
        about 22 months and at present repayed the mortgage on their appartment and
        bought themselves a Chrysler . see here C­a­s­h­f­i­g­.­C­O­M­

    • I think it is because of ART, I hope the next update fix it.

      Will de get Android L?

      • I’ve been on ART since I’ve had my Maxx. Why is it just now crashing the play services?? Like the others it’s been happening maybe a week now.

        • Because that’s when Google play services updated to the version that isn’t compatible with 4.4s version of ART.

          • Are referring to just 4.4 or even the latest 4.4.3, because ART is going to be the new runtime permanently. So why would they update it not to work with ART when they are making it the primary runtime on the L which is due to start releasing in the next few months.

          • It’s an issue with 4.4’s ART; I had the same issue when my Moto X was on 4.4. Google updated the runtime in 4.4.1 which carried over into 4.4.2. It might have been updated again for 4.4.3, but I haven’t looked at the OTA files from the N7 to see if it was.

            Google classifies 4.4’s ART as incompatible.

    • Here too. I agree with everyone else about ART being the problem. Just going to wait it out…

    • Maybe clear the cache clear data, if that does not work uninstall updates and reinstall updates.

      • Thanks for the suggestions. I tried all this but I’m still getting the Play Services has stopped message. Happens after every app update or when starting a game. Funny thing is, everything continues normally after ‘ok’ing the message. I installed ART last month. A week later was when the Play Services fail message began. I’m willing to live with this annoyance if 4.4.4 comes soon. If that doesn’t fix it, I guess I’ll change back to DALVIK then.

    • Try clearing caches … I haven’t had an issue other than last weeks isolated events. Still on ART , and the problem has gone away.

    • When I got the error multiple times all I did was power off the phone and back on again and Google Play started working just fine again.

  • I got a soak invite for the Maxx HD a couple of weeks back. Found it weird. I didn’t join because I’m not using a HD anymore.

  • I’m gonna be looking for one thing in the change log: “Improved Battery”
    Gawd I want my 48 hours back in pre-KitKat

    • I don’t have that problem, I still get 2 days from my Maxx before needing to recharge. You’re not the first person who claimed their battery life suffered after KitKat; wonder what the difference is?

    • We’re moving back to Verizon from T-Mobile and I’ve been real tempted to get this phone since it’s so cheap right now, both new and used… and is such a workhorse. But hearing this makes me re-think it to a certain extent.

      • New Droid line (and Moto X) is expected to launch mid-end August. I would wait.

        • Oh really? Wow, how’d I miss that… thanks. Obviously I’ve seen a ton on the X+1, but haven’t heard a thing about the Droid line yet.

          • They’ve not said anything about a droid line. Only the X+1 has been mentioned.

      • Don’t get me wrong I love my Maxx. I’m still getting 32 hours out of it which is WAY more than I need. Maxx users are honestly just spoiled lol. While I’m a huge advocate for this phone, if you’re looking for battery life, performance, and low cost at this time, I’d suggest the G2 over this. But if you really like cheap and close to stock android and active notifications, I would recommend this or the Moto X

        • Thanks – yeah the G2 is my other frontrunner. Not a fan of the cheaper plastic feel, but everything else about the device from the screen to the size is solid. I just can’t get on board with the size of the G3 and other new devices.

          • Yeah as does my gf with her Moto X which is kinda sad. KitKit just kinda killed my battery life. At times i can soak out to 40 hours. Note that I’m like on full brightness, gps, auto uploading, gaming quite often. It was crazy cuz pre KitKat i was still getting 48hr with those same settings. Again like I said Maxx users are just spoiled. It really isnt THAT big of a deal to me.

          • That’s insane. What battery saving options and settings do you use to get the 32 hours on her Moto X ?

          • everything stays on but bluetooth and i auto bright. but i only have around 90 min screen to get that. i take care of my battery pretty well. i rarely if ever heat up my phone. my max on this phone is 54 hours. reached over 50 a few times. nowadays though… 35 or 40 would be my max. <–ten month old phone.

      • On the subject of switching. I went to the Droid Maxx when I switched to Verizon from a note 2 on T-Mobile. The Maxx has been excellent with battery life that exceeded my expectations. Get it with confidence if battery life in a well kept kevlar package is what you seek.

    • I was just reading today that Nexus owners are plagued with battery problems since 4.4.4.

      • Usually the culprit is a couple apps not being updated for the new android version yet.

    • My Note2 still gets 2 days with KK, but I got better with JB. Possibly more services running with the new OS?

    • I use the Ultra and when this was new, 22-26hrs was a reality. Since KK, 12 max! Average 8-10 with moderate use. I took the slimmer device because when I bought it, battery life was fine. Not so much anymore. Hope 4.4.4 will fix it. Just waiting for the push!

    • I don’t know of a phone where people haven’t claimed an update ruined their battery life. I highly doubt its the update itself. Check your battery usage, Google Play Services eats up a lot of battery sometimes

      • No this update truly has destroyed this phones best-in-class battery life. 4 hours of screen on time over 14 hours off the charger and I have maybe 30% if I’m lucky. Jelly bean would’ve still been well above 50%

    • And this is why everyone who clammers and crows about getting updates are high. Updates to existing devices normally seem to cause more issues than any benefit. Even the DL reader’s choice Moto is not immune. “Oh, look at me, I got KK first! Oh wait. Oh crud. My battery life just dropped 30%”
