Is Droid Turbo getting Lollipop?

[hammerhead13]

Maybe VZW will launch an update soon to remove it. lol

It has been a non eventful update for me and I was in the soak. Performance wise it is fine and no issues that way. Certain changes they made I don't like and have to live with, but seems that way with every update.

Cool. I was waiting for a non soaker to get it OTA before I talked. It's actually pretty nice. I'm not blown away... didn't expect to be. But... yea, it's running really great. I had one minor issue that was reported by a few people. First boot it kept telling me I had to update Google Play Services. Click the link to do that and it would go to the Store and the only options were OPEN \ DEACTIVATE. Like 5 times this happened. That resolved quickly. Checked for normal app updates in Play and it said "LOGIN AGAIN"... hit Retry. That was it.
Not one other issue for me. Signal seems better. Wifi handoff seems better. Battery life a tiny bit.
Overall complaints were minimal and praise was plentiful in the private forums.
I think people are going to be pretty happy with this.


///edit// oh, and for gods sake don't ask how to CHOP the FLASHLIGHT. I cannot believe how many people said it wasn't working but they just weren't doing it right.

How are you supposed to chop the flashlight..we're here to help everyone...remember.. Not just those in the know..i bet there are several people with their moto actions turned off..so the feature wouldn't work..and they wouldn't know...without asking..just saying..lol

OK, you want to go there?
A) its Monkey simple. A term my friends and I use when something is so simple, a monkey could do it.
B) the soak forum was full of people "Chop to Flash didn't work". 3 posts later... " Never mind... Wasn't doing it hard enough! "
C) Moto nailed it. Even if you don't have Moto actions on, the first time you click Flashlight in Quick Settings a message pops up "we have a new feature to turn on your light, click here!" And it takes you to Moto actions.

So again, I say: don't ask.

Not a big fan of the new Bluetooth icon, harder to tell from a distance if its enabled, and don't like the transparency on the Google search bar being increased, (but I can remove that), otherwise so far so good....

I actually like the new BT icon. If not enabled it disappears.

It's all good, it's not terrible or anything. Just like anything new, it takes some getting used to!

So then someone like you certainly won't ask about it because you don't use Actions.
