So how is the soak test going for those of you involved? Seeing any issues at all?

Tsk Tsk TDL,,,
You been around long enough to know that IF there was a soak test going that anyone involved wouldn't be able to tell you how /good it is going.

Well, no one should be posting a soak test is going on either.... [emoji13]

Moto spilled the beans on this soak. Lol

Well, I am not part of the soak test, but Lollipop is downloading as I type this!! I am in Michigan, just thought I'd manually check for updates, and voila! there it was...

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.

Does this mean we may be seeing Real ROOT? Please say Yes!

I'm a "non-soaker" (I guess) was available to me this morning. I waited until about 45 minutes ago and pulled the trigger.
Download/Update went smoothly. Subtle new look.
Some nice features. Nothing earth shaking (which I'm saying as a positive) maybe there are some things I haven't seen (yet) I like the flashlight trick.
Phone is snappy. Good luck to others.

Well here's the thing... Verizon is most likely putting the kibosh on it, but what's strange is that it is even in the build. Why would Motorola even put forth the effort if it's never going to be utilized?

It's a standard L option. Maybe VZW didn't check Dev options? LOL
Agree it probably won't help.
