Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo 2 Soak Test Might Be Android 6.0/Marshmallow

[dgstorm]

It looks like Motorola has started a new soak test for the Verizon Droid Turbo 2. Several folks have reported receiving emails from Motorola detailing an “early preview of a new software release," for the Droid Turbo 2. It could simply be a maintenance/security update of some kind, but it's just as likely to be Android 6.0/Marshmallow.

Folks who are on the Motorola Feedback Network and own the Droid Turbo 2 should be on the lookout for a new update. Sound off and let us know what you think of it (after the required NDA period of course).

Here's our dedicated Motorola Droid Turbo 2 section for further discussion: Motorola DROID Turbo 2 | Android Forum at DroidForums.net

Interesting. Did we ever get confirmation that the OG Turbo getting 6.0?

The Turbo has been on the Moto Software Update page for a few months, stating that it will receive the 6.X M update. That's about as official as it gets; they never release dates though.

You didn't really think it WOULDN'T, did you? I'm not the type that really cares about updates but even I might be annoyed if a current flagship DIDN'T get an update...

User on xda with a employee edition of the phone confirmed is a 2 part marshmallow update. Part one over 30mb, part 2 over 1gb

VZW sent me a postcard offering an early upgrade (10 mounts months early) to a DT2. I thought about it briefly to replace my Note 4... But the more I think about it, I don't think it'll be much of an upgrade

I tried using Migrate on a sale I had the other day, and it didn't work either. Very disappointing Motorola!

I thought migrate only worked over WiFi?
Last time I used it, it took almost 5 hours.

Migrate no longer works on the newer phones, Moto announced that a while back. I believe it is now on their list of Sunset Apps. If I open it on my Turbo 2 I get a popup that says "Sorry! Migrate does not support transfer to this device".

 

[PereDroid]

But will work FROM. What sense does that make?
Migrate took about 20 minutes om my Turbo 1. 5 hours?!?!? CRAZY!

This is the one thing about Moto that ticked me off. Fine... 'sunset' those apps that are duplicitous of Marshmallow features. I get that. But could you AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL YOU INSTALL M ON YOUR PHONES!?!?!?! Ridiculous...

Is there ONE Moto that has M yet?

 

[Sajo]

Yes, there are several already...Moto X Force, Moto X Pure, Moto X Play, Moto X 2014 Unlocked and I believe the newest Moto G (3rd Gen maybe?). We should be soon, I would think.

 

[PereDroid]

So I was curious and it's a REALLY slow day at work...


Went to check out how one orders a refresh.

BTW the offer to get a Refresh if you purchase the 64GB T2 ENDS AT THE END OF THE YEAR. *REPEAT* Offer available through December 31st, 2015.*

Here is step 3:

• Step 3: When your redesigned DROID Turbo 2 arrives, you’ll be able to transfer information from your old phone to your new one.

How so Moto if you can only use Migrate to transfer FROM a T2 and not TO one???
Better get crack-alacking on that M roll out....


My Moto X

I think they mean transfer using the Google NFC transfer option that pops up when you first sign I to your phone. That would be my guess. I used that to copy apps and settings from my Turbo to Turbo 2 for the first time ever and it worked pretty good.
