I don't think it has been released yet. Usually there is an email sent to the pre-release testers notifying them about the coming update. It looks like Motorola is bumping the feedback network solicitation daily so maybe they are looking to reach x amount of folks before pulling the trigger.

Also I would not update unless you will be happy with stock. There may be an unlockable bootloader within the next OTA. The electrify folks suffer from this after the 2.3.5 update (IIRC). My wife's phone will be testing the next OTA out since her phone is bone stock.

I too have read in the Development forums that this might be the 2.3.5 update the Electrify users are stuck with. I am using CM9 as my daily and to be honest, until (if) ICS is released to the Photon as an OTA, I have no interest in anything Motorola offers short of 4.0.

You are right - it does look like Moto keeps updating the Photon soak tester request thread on their forum.
Unfortunately, it's just a problem they have with their new forum software.
Mark (Moto forum mgr) has posted elsewhere that they are not looking for Photon testers (and that it's an old thread), but are looking for Atrix testers.

I quite agree - there are no signs that Moto has any release coming, but the only one I'd care about is 4.0.3.
I didn't sign up for the soak test but it did get pushed to my phone around 1 pm today, it is a forced update. But because I am rooted it put my photon into a boot loop and I had to reflash it.
So they are sending out the update as of today, wish I could have tested it.

weird have you ever updated your phone? still doesnt make sense to me as why a forced update when you havent signed up for anything .... ive signed up for the tests the same day i registered my photon on the motorola site a day or two after receiving it... when i got this phone i bought it cause it does everything i need it to do right out the box ( except for being rooted) i used to own a sprint hero was flashing and trying everything i could to get it to do half of what this phone does.... im satisfied with it in the state i have it in atm however if it was getting some new update just want to kinda know something in advance to prepare it for a smooth transition cause right now ive got it tweaked to no end... i know this contradicts my previous statement but that was when i had a hero not after owning a photon...phones great but as with everything it CAN be better
I had it updated a few months ago, but it was pretty weird getting a forced update. I wish I could've downloaded it to see what was new/fixed
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I didn't have that issue with getting a forced update... If this isn't a 1080p update with other bug fixes, this may just be my last Motorola phone on Sprint, because Motorola does everything for every carrier other than Sprint for high end Android Devices...
I am hoping for a Photon 2 with LTE, Tegra 3, 1080p, better 8MP camera, blah blah blah...
PLEASE, let's not start an argument in this thread about the Photon having LTE, let's not go there...

How do you know it was the soak test? (I've seen no other posts about it being rolled out)
How do you know that it was root that caused your boot issue? (Last update, many of us were rooted, update worked just fine, then we had to root again)
Because the only update that Motorola is rolling out for the photon is the soak update. And i had the same issue with my Samsung fascinate, I was rooted and had a forced update and it is stuck trying to update then the android dude with the exclamation point.

Got word about this from Mark over at the owners forum. The "pre-release testers needed" thread is an old thread. It only shows up at the top because people are seeing and looking at it, thus showing it as active. They are currently looking for testers for the Atrix not the Photon. I done a little reading on the subject and though it is possible that there may be an update in the future there is nothing currently on the table. If and when there is it may give us 1080p on the camera or maybe even ICS, nothing will happen until Sprint and Moto agree on a release. And yes, there is the possibility that the bootloader will not be unlockable anymore. What xoes tbis mean for me? I'm freezing the updater and upgrader apk's and a few other items with TiBu. Only other thing cor me will be a custom ROM or ICS when it's to a point where it meets my needs as a DD.

I haven't heard such a thing. Motorola has yet to release an official ICS update for even the devices that were promised the ICS update like the Droid RaZR, bionic, xoom 2, etc so hopefully that is good news and hope for the Photon for ICS in the future.
It's just bug fixes, and possibly 1080p...
This is only Android 2.3.5, we currently have 2.3.4, please relax, lol, this is not ICS...
EDIT: The same thing the Electrify got, plus our bootloaders will be unlockable, (for now, anyways.)

But why would Motorola continue to make updates to gingerbread when they could be focusing on ICS? This makes it sound like the Photon won't get ICS. Also why just 2.3.5 and not the latest baseline in 2.3.7? Kinda of a dumb move by Motorola.

Totally agree with you. I have absolutely zero interest in 2.3.5 unless it unlocks the bootloader at the same time. Otherwise I'll wait for Moto or CM to release ICS.

Read the post that is 3 above yours.
I got a notification of an update approximately 10 days ago. I declined the same because I was in the middle of something else at the time & hoped to investigate the same before installing it. However since declining the same I have not been able to locate or retrieve the same.
Anyone have any info or feedback why the G850M has not yet a released version of Lollipop?
In the last couple weeks sammobile released two new KitKat versions lol. Some have speculated the recent app button bug is going to delay it as they figure out the solution.

I thought this version of the Galaxy Alpha would be only in South America .. I'm impressed!
Well it is sold unlocked online and it has the bands for lte in various countries....
I find it actually unbelievable that the AT&T G850A has received the Official LP 5.0.2 update already! I'm using the G850A with the recent OTA LP update right now...But, I have a G850M on its way to me at this very moment, so I am very interested in this thread's topic! The AT&T Bloat is horrendous on the G850A and I want my free tethering/hotspot back and full reign of this handset!
It is unbelievable. Every att Samsung phone I've had got the updates far after the international version. The Samsung Mobile firmware site doesn't even list the att alpha

Yeah the bloat but not just that... The snap dragon I assume are inefficient. The battery life on my 850 m lasts 10-20 hours depending on usage. Stock battery BTW
The att version later me 3 maybe 4 tops. Att butchered this phone
I cant understand why they take it so slow.. Man, it's just simple to launch the international without those ****ing bloatwares and then the carrier rom. Meanwhile the W, F and even the A got it before than us.
Samsung is loosing a lot with actions like that...
Still waiting too... Any news?
This delay is driving me crazy. The lack of information also. I think that only this model had not received the 5.0.2 yet.
Does anybody here can give us some information about that?
Yes, I wish there were more information regarding the actual date of the pending release. On the other hand guys, I would be patient because (at least on the AT&T Alpha) there are quite a few changes that I really don't care for in 5.0.2! See the other thread about people's impressions of LP 5.0.2 on the Alpha.
To be sincere I'm more anxious about cm 12.1 than stock lollipop..

Hey, would you mind pinging your buddy again? We are now in June and still not even a rumor about the LB release on this variant. It's kinda silly because the F version is very similar to this and I would think that a code update could be complied within days, tested and released.
I just found this rom last night called Tipsy 1.0 for the vs985. I don't know why they haven't made a thread for it on xda, or maybe I just haven't seen it yet.. But I gave it a whirl and I also flashed 777R11 kernel with it.. So far I think it is the best rom I have flashed in a while.
Here is the link if anyone else wants to give it a go.. I am sorry if I missed the thread somewhere.. If so please delete this post.. Thank you.

Nope. They don't have a thread currently here. Also, 404 link dead.

And I'm assuming an LP GAPPS is fine?
I actually used it for a couple days. It's very fast and PLENTY of customization. I was pretty impressed with its performance. The only reason I came back is because I prefer the audio and camera stock LG (I use Xcam)
New builds for Tipsy are now found here:

Yes, because that makes sense.... completely not true. Remember the LG G3? That got updates through android 6 I believe and it started at 4.4 and this phone is definitely able to run 7, so I don't really understand why you would say that.
Because Verizon's lack of interest in this phone at this point. We can't even get 6.1

Best case puts unlocked getting it from LG in March of this year. That means maybe, MAYBE a Verizon update at the end of the year. We are just falling to far down the developmental pipeline at this point.

6.1 has nothing to do with it. Do any of the v10's have 6.1? That doesn't have anything to do with Verizon, I've never heard of the v10 getting 6.1 at all. Also, maybe the xda dev pipeline but that doesn't mean we won't see an N update in march. You guys are negative towards this, look at the other lg phones that go the updates, popular or not.
Hello, I have a question : I am still on 23A and when I go to check it says it's up to date. I am not using verizon sim, I am on europe.
I have the 25A KDZ if anyone is interested.
Since taking the 25A update, my wife can no longer install apps I create in Tasker for her. No idea why not. They install on my V20 just fine. Tested installing apps from Amazon and they install just fine on her phone.
Mystified and frustrated.
** Update **
The reason for my inability to install the aforementioned apps had nothing to do with the update and apparently everything to do with the icons I was using for the exported apps. Once I changed the icons, the problem went away. Strange, though, considering the same apps and icons worked just fine on my V20.

You are no on Verizon's network. This is being pushed from Verizon over their network or from their servers, you are also in Europe and this was released US only at this time.
Dear Developers,
I'm now using evolution x android pie rom for my mi se and I would be grateful if you creat a dual speaker mod for mi 8se.Thanks.
Is it difficult to creat? Almost all devices can get, why mi 8 se user can't get?
Dead forum
I'm currently working on it
Development may be slow because it's actually my daily driver and I only have a few hours a week to test things out
My current troubles are the way that the audio mixers work in MIUI 11 Beta, and I will not be testing it out on any custom roms, but be expecting an update from me once a few more Android 9 Pie mods come out and I have some base scratch to work with
EDIT: I will also look into the Type-C port audio, as I'm extremely disappointed with the clarity and lack of volume
There is du al speaker module for Mi 8 SE but its for old roms. I know and used it on China Beta miui_CEPHEUSGlobal_9.4.2_19357b30e9_9.0
Someone may adapt it for miui 11. I attached the file for anyone interested :good:

No unfortunately, see above. But try directly contacting other developers to see if they're willing to try. Those who've worked on other recent snapdragon xiaomi phones are going to be your best bet. I was basically trying to go off some tutorials, had a Mi5 for reference, very little progress
