Thanks for sharing FK. Not sources I put much trust in especially as I've been checking my usual sites and not one has mentioned anything and you know someone always leaks that a soak test has started. Not in any rush for Lollipop, but always keeping an eye out for announcements.

Yeah, I don't place much trust in them either simply because they are rather obscure. Also as I mentioned there is far too little chatter to be credible.

FoxKat, how does it feel to be the slain messenger? Been there done that. I'll still take the fox over the hare.

I just don't get it the hoopla...
Android - 5.0 Lollipop
"The songs, photos, apps, and even recent searches from one of your Android devices can be immediately enjoyed across all of your Android devices."
I can do all that now if I put all my s*** in your Cloud and use Chrome on every device.
"Content responds to your touch in an intuitive way."
Who wrote this? Does this make anyone else go "OMG I MUST HAS!!!"
"With Lollipop, your tablet shows your inbox alongside the message you have open, while your watch shows new emails as they arrive."
Uh... that's a feature of the Gmail app and my watch ALREADY shows me new emails as they arrive. How is this a "Lollipop Feature"???
"For fewer worries and disruptions, adjust your settings so only certain people and notifications get through. When it's important, respond directly from your lockscreen."
Meh?!?!
"Power for the long haul with a battery saver feature that extends your device by up to 90 minutes."
Can't wait to see this in action. Does it work like every other "Battery saver"? Going to disable my GPS and BT and stop all background data??? In other words, not practical at all?
I could go on and on and on and on....

I've had mine for several months now, it is enjoying "I don't notice it" status. Anymore "If" something performs as expected - I simply don't notice it. I notice when something acts up or craps the bed.
My driver side door is rattling in my Jeep so "It" is getting noticed ..... see what I mean.
My oldest Son who is "back home" after College and about to turn 23 with no job is about to start getting my attention..... see what I mean.
Droid Turbo....... Huh?

It doesn't work like that . If you are going to pass on rumors like this ya best provide a link . Other wise it's bull . Anyone include me can say what you did and without backup it's bunk .
Oh by the way I heard the soak test starts Tomorrow around 4 o'clock .

Actually it appears that FoxKat was right.. I've seen other sites saying invites are indeed, going out.. But... We don't know if it's a volte update or lollipop..

-Foxcat steps in-
"FDR"

You've missed something.. There was a soak that broke (froze up) several devices on the droid Maxx... But i think it happened mostly on devices that were rooted.Ahhhh..... And so great update saga of 2015 begins. It'll go something like this:

The StarTac was the "First" cool phone IMO. I don't think any device has been as transformational as that (maybe the first Razr) I'm talking about strangers coming up to you ..... mouth agape, zombie walking towards you, arms out, hands cherry-picking as they mono-tone the words past you, " W h a t IS T h a t?"
You think (quickly) should I turn and run OR answer them?? IF "She" was Hot...... well, answer is obvious.
I'd actually let Her "touch it". "Ooooh that is C o o l!" and they were. The StarTac and the Razr really changed the game when they came out. Now, everything looks the same and honestly performance..... ? Mediocre is the new Norm.
Think about it, "Cell Phones" are totally unique in that "WE" ALL pay a fortune for a product that is sure to fail, we will be treated like uniBombers when we seek help or assistance and We Pay a Mortgage amount Monthly for glitchy functionality, dropped calls, surprise data useage, screens that crack, bodies that scratch, Apps that freeze, Cameras that blur unless we can emulate Lincoln as He currently sits .... ALL for what?
I don't have an answer to that....
Personally I think one day at 12:01 P.M. somebody is going to push a secret button from a bunker located way way below the Earths surface and one side of ALL are heads is going to simultaneously explode and one lone 8 year old genious is going to chuckle and say, "Huh, that was cool" and that will be it.
No, I'm not nuts just have an active imagination
