  • I updated a couple of days ago… so far it’s running perfectly. I had installed Doze app prior and it is still there.. not sure if I should uninstal it now since it is part of the OS?

  • Hmmmm, I got the update late yesterday. So far so good, nice and zippy but no huge differences that I can see.

  • I just purchased my Moto X about a week and a half ago, and it arrived Monday. I am not part of the group for soak testing as far as I know. But yet, last night the 6.0 update showed up on my phone.

  • Does native tethering work well? I have an UDP on Verizon and it used to work great for tethering my N7, but it’s since slowed down tremendously after my N7 received the 6.0 update. Thanks!

  • I got the update the first day (yesterday or day before, I forgot) but I never signed up for any soak test. So either they started fully rolling it out out they are randomly choosing people to send out to.

  • Any news for those of us with unlocked bootloaders? Can we dl the ota or will we have to flash something. Thanks

  • Got mine updated.
    Had some issues with Google Play Services not running/updating thus bogging everything down but it seems to be fixed now. Not sure what I did to make it work but hey.. it’s all good.

    Formatting my SD card as internal now.. that’ll be nice.

    Looks like VoLTE is on as I now have the Enhanced 4G LTE Mode option.
    We’ll see if Band 12 is open when I get into a B12 area.

  • With Marshmallow, does google Fi work properly @kellex:disqus ?? I got the sim card to try, but the original news was that MXPE was not capable to hop towers properly.

    • No. It’s not going to ever work properly unless Google and Motorola decide to work together and offer it for Fi. Then it would need a custom build, which is more work for Motorola if they want to keep their minimal customizations. It’s never going to happen.

  • I know this will go against the grain and rub some folks wrong but again I can’t complain about Moto or HTC both times I have bought their devices they have always pushed the latest updates pretty quickly for at least the first year.

  • Please ask Motorola to enable disabling for stock Android app!!! And fix the speakers for crackling noises!! That is all -Sara

    • The speaker issue hasn’t gotten a lot of play on this site – but, I also have the same problem. One can only hope!

      • Is the speaker thing new with Marshmallow, or has it always been there? That’s lame 🙁

        • Always been there. I’m still on the shipping os. It used to be pretty annoying but I don’t notice it anymore.

        • It has been reported to be a slight crackling at the end of notifications which has been present since Lollipop. I usually have my X on vibrate, so I can’t speak to the issue. Either way, normal sound output is unaffected, eg. music through play music, or music through youtube.

      • It really isn’t. Picked it up again this week and am super tempted now to switch back to it from the 6P for a bit. Feels great.

        • I can’t believe how quick I got use to the size. Now when I mess with my wife’s S6Edge I am a little disappointed in how small that is. Also coming from an HTC M7 what a difference. But I adjusted fast and love it.

          • Same boat. I was worried about size for the longest time. Got used to it and now I don’t even worry. Sure, one-handed isn’t as easy anymore, especially if you’re typing, but it’s not a great hurdle.

        • Tried the Moto X 3rd gen for 2 weeks. It was nice and slim too tall for my liking. I’m a one handed user. I couldn’t reach across to lower opposite corner without touching screen with my palm. Swiping on keyboard was almost impossible. On Oneplus X now. Perfect screen size for me. Sent Moto X back. Also, the LCD and active display wasn’t as good as on AMOLED.

        • I’m pretty disappointed with the 5X (should’ve waited for your review), so I’m contemplating between the 6P and the Moto X PE.

          One of my big gripes about the 5X is that I really miss Active Display and some of the unique Moto voice commands (“what’s up?”). But my other big gripe is the lag on the 5X.

          I’m eager to find out if the (minor) lag complaints and (less minor) battery complaints people had about the Moto X PE have been at least partially resolved with Marshmallow.

          Never thought I’d want a phablet.

          • I’ve noticed that the phone is faster and smoother on Marshmallow. Haven’t experienced any lag or quirks thus far.

  • Umm… I’m not in the soak test and neither is my wife and we both just got the OTA.

    Edit: And a number of users on XDA are reporting the same thing. I think it’s already rolling out.

    • I remember this happening last year with the 2014 Moto X. There was a soak test released, but instead, they released it to everyone on accident…lol

      With that being said, I just checked for a software update and got nothing. 🙁

    • I’m considering this vs 6P. What haven’t you liked? Certain things I can live with, I imagine.

      • I’ve loved this phone and I’ve never been so Conte t with a phone before. The only issue I notice is the occasional police noise from the speakers, but even that happens very rarely. I’m curious to see what Superguy has to say

  • The build in the soak is the same as the one many have been using for over a month as part of the early preview, so I doubt there will be any significant issues popping up.

  • I guess the question is: with Marshmallow, what is left to make this worthwhile over Nexus 6P in the software department?

        • I switched from a Nexus 6 to the Moto X. I absolutely love setting a custom command for Google Now, the double twist to open camera, and chop for flashlight. Those three things alone were my biggest reason for switching. I also love a white front phone, and I really wanted the bamboo back. That’s just me though. I also root and use Xposed, so having to wait a bit for Marshmallow actually is good for me, because Xposed just recently got updated for Marshmallow.

        • Ambient Display of Nexus 6P isn’t worth against Moto Display
          Moto Voice still offers you features like Phone responding with screen off, commands like “whats up
          and it offers everything else which 6p offers in terms of software

        • Active Display and twist camera are two of my favorites. Plus the custom Moto commands are pretty great, along with the custom replacement for “OK Google now”. With my 5X I use the voice commands so much less than I did with the OG Moto X, which has been a bummer. It also feels less responsive to my callout.

          It’s really minor though, and I imagine for many the battery and speed advantages of the 6P would easily outweigh these things.

    • Nothing, in my opinion. The only reason I have the XPE over the 6P is price and Motorola offers a payment plan.

      • Yup, software is not the major divisive issue with these two. It’s price and design customization.

      • Software.

        All the videos that were made top show off Moto X 2013/2014 software enhancements: Kellex, make a comparable video to show what’s still there. What is Motorola 2015?

  • Hoping they don’t take longer than a week or two, I’m waiting to run Marshmallow before deciding if I want to root or not. I wish they would have made the mXPE a developer edition.

    • This is the final version, the same thing happened to brazilian version they launch for a dozen of people,and after a week they launch for everyone.

      • If they find something wrong with this version in the Soak Test, they will not push this out to everyone therefore it won’t be the final version.

      • Moto G3 has had 3 MM soak tests…so far. Just because they are distributed does not mean they are final, by any means!

    • Will this work because I have tried 4 different link files and none of them worked. Went to update and said couldnt verify full file signature. I am also on the 2014 PUre Edition. Does that matter?

        • So… i was rooted on LP with xposed and gravity box. unchecked GB, uninstalled xposed, rebooted, unrooted, rebooted, installed this successfully and my phone wouldnt boot (gets to the pappery M logo, and stays there). any suggestions? seems like this would be the same as any other image available

    • What’s the buttons to press to show the stock recovery commands? I have always used twrp but I am trying not to unlock this phone cause I don’t really need to

      • Volume down and power to load bootloader, navigate to recovery and hit power. The android guy appears broken and you have to hold power and click volume up once (Held together for a moment) and it will boot the recovery menu.

      • Should be hold vol down and power for three seconds. Scroll down to recovery. Wait for the little andy icon then press and hold power for about three seconds and tap vol up. Should get you into recovery menu

    • F the Nexus Program. My MotoXPE has Marshmallow. Suck it Verizon and your retarded testing! Thank you Kellex!

      • Till I saw the draft that was of 8325 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really generating cash in his free time with his pc. . His aunt’s neighbor has done this for only 8 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car .Why not try this. edy…

      • Yes! Style & Pure are the same phone!
