Back in
October 2014, Google officially announced Android 5.0 Lollipop. A month later
the new update was hitting the first Nexus devices, which were followed shortly
after by both the unlocked and Verizon Moto X 2014 variants. Three months later
we hear that the 2nd gen Moto X Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update is now being
pushed to the AT&T users.
A couple of days ago, Motorola
begun the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop soak tests for both Verizon and AT&T Moto
X and that the update should be released soon. Now the new firmware is being
released for all AT&T customers. And when I say “all” I mean “some” because
we are dealing with a staged roll out. You know the drill. When your phone is
ready to receive the OTA update, you’ll see a system update notification.
In case you haven’t received the notification, perform a manual check under
Settings > About phone > Software updates > Check now. Still no
update? Then keep on waiting for it. The Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update for
AT&T Moto X 2014 has software number 22.21.34 and update file is quite
big so remember to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
Now let’s
take a look at the changes brought by the new update. According to AT&T’s
changelog you’ll get
Material Design, which is the colorful and fluid interface everyone is talking
about, New Interruption and Downtime settings, the new card-based Overview
space (you may know it as Recent from KitKat), native flashlight, multi-user
support, Screen pinning (lock the screen to a specific app), Android Runtime
for better in-app performance, and Smart Lock with Trusted Devices or Trusted
Places. You will also be able to enjoy enhanced notification handling which
include lock screen notifications (you can prioritize them and
choose specific privacy settings) and a redesigned notifications bar which
as a ‘Dismiss all’ button you can actually reach with one hand. Motorola’s Moto
Display, Ambient Display, and Moto Assist also got updated. You’ll find more
details in the link above.
