Help When is 4.4.4 coming to Moto E's in the US?

TheKrell · Aug 20, 2014

I think it's already out for the non-US version of our phones.

Mine updated right out of the box to 4.4.4 but I got mine in canada. I think it still is the US version though. How can you tell which country version you have?

TheKrell · Aug 20, 2014

If your E takes two micro sims, then it's the international version. They've been getting 4.4.4 since early July IIRC.

mikee286 · Aug 20, 2014

Mine takes one micro sim and runs 4.4.4.

TheKrell · Aug 20, 2014

Well, I wonder what the issue is with mine then? Just checked again and it claims I'm up to date on 4.4.3.

whats the model number of yours? Mine is the XT1021

There are two models in canada that I have seen but don't know what the difference is other than color there is the xt1021 which I have in black and the xt 1023 which I see in white in canada. I don't know if the only difference is color but it may effect the timing of updates.

I know mine never saw android 4.4.3 it updated straight from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 when shortly after I powered it on for the first time

TheKrell · Aug 21, 2014

Huh. Mine says XT-1023 and it's black. IIRC, I bought mine less than a month after Motorola released it. It also came with 4.4.2, but updated fairly soon to 4.4.3 and here it sits.

Still no update to 4.4.4.

I wonder if we'll get L?

I am wondering if any of the moto E models will be getting L as of lately.

If not there are always roms like cyanogenmod 12 that will likely come to the moto E.

Last I checked motorolla stated the moto G, G LTE and G generation 2 were guaranteed the update to L but when asked about the moto E they didn't comment.

If it becomes confirmed that we aren't getting L I may wait around to see what the custom rom situation looks like then if that goes nowhere I will just sell my moto E and get a G generation 2 or G LTE. But Motorola did promise at launch that the E will get L they just haven't followed up. Hopefully we do get it though.

I really don't understand why some versions of the moto E are getting updates and some aren't but theoretically couldn't you just get the rom image and flash the 4.4.4 to any moto E at least the single sim variants?

Is that for sure what they said? The press release I read just said "updates", not necessarily all the way to L.

Found this: Android™ 4.4.3, KitKat

TheKrell · Sep 25, 2014

Hooray! 4.4.4 just got rolled out to my phone today. One wonders what the delay was for?

Updates are often delayed by the carrier. For example the Boost Mobile Moto G (not E) didn't get 4.4.4 until about a month ago.

How are they able to do that? :thinking:

I bought my Moto E direct from Motorola unlocked, and I update over wifi.

mikee286 · Oct 14, 2014

Unlocked FTW. Now that the new moto G is out I sort of want to upgrade already. Oh well I will hang on to my moto E for at least a year then upgrade to a 2015 model. I might sooner upgrade of the Moto E does not get Android L (Licorice) (that's supposedly what google is going to call it don't quote me on that though)
