Motorola seems to have confirmed what many of us suspected already - the 2013 Droids (Maxx, Ultra and Mini) will not be getting the Lollipop upgrade. See...

Has anybody with a Turbo 2 run the Zimperium stagefright detector on the phone yet? If so, is it vulnerable or completely patched? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector (Just curious...)

See https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/105254 There is an emergency update that will soon be pushed to all Motorola phones since summer 2013 to fix a problem with emergency dialing on a restarted phone on encrypted phones protected by a PIN...

... and are disappointed that it wasn't included, you may want to read this thread in to Moto X forum about a problem with the new dialer on 4.4.4: http://androidforums.com/showpost.php?p=6670792 I'm not having wakelock issues with the dialer on the Maxx on 4.4.4.

I hate to hijack the thread, but, Thom, what's your evidence for this? I think it's impossible that a factory reset would not format the cache partition as well. How did you determine that /cache was untouched?

On Google+ there was some news yesterday; on a post announcing that the T-Mobile Moto X will be getting an OA to the just-released 4.4.3 this week, David Schuster of Motorola said that after Verizon delayed the 4.4.2 OTA for the 2013 Droids, Motorola decided to hold the update after the recent...

Yesterday Motorola posted an update to the Assist app on the Google Play Store. This update has a fix for a problem I was having. In one of my cars I have a Kenwood bluetooth stereo. If I am listening to media from my phone on the stereo, I would get no audio interruptions from the Assist app...

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but this morning I noticed that in Google+ the Droid Maxx with KitKat has the setting, under photos in your account in the Google+ app, "use this device to create auto awesome movies". That setting definitely wasn't there as recently as a couple of weeks...

Just FYI to all of my Maxx friends here: I still have three invitation codes for the Aviate launcher left. If anybody wants one, just PM me with your email address and I will send out an invite (to the first three, obviously). Just a word of caution: the home key bug on KitKat makes Aviate a...

I finally did a factory reset of my phone on Monday after the KitKat update, and thought that I would share my experience. As background, my phone was having a definite loss of battery life that seemed to coincide with the update. I also noticed one other issue: my phone kept prompting me for...

I haven't seen it reported here, though there is a big thread about this on Motorola's public forum: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/944892be33 It seems pretty horrible, with bad timing to boot (late in the week before a holiday week.) Several people with completely stock, never been...

Motorola has updated the Assist app and the update is now available in the Play Store. This update adds the ability to add customized reply messages in drive and meeting mode, and they say some bug fixes. If you don't see it on the phone yet, you should see it here: Motorola Assist - Play Store

The subject line asks my question. If the answer is no, then I would seriously think more than twice before I rooted this phone right now. If you root, and there is no way yo go back to stock, you should know that quite definitively before going through the process.
