My Z2 Play (Verizon locked XT1710-02) was just upgraded to 8.0 - Moto Z2 Play Guides, News, & Discussion

The Android 8.0 OTA FINALLY appeared for my Verizon-locked/unrootable Z2 Play (XT1710-02) and the upgrade process went smoothly. So far it's working great, and even fixed my Verizon voicemail app constant crash problem, which prevented me from using the app under Android 7.1.1. I'll provide updates for anything else good or bad I notice.
Now I'm no longer the lone Nougat-based Moto Z-family user in the house My wife's Z Force and my son's Z Play have had 8.0 for months now!

It now shows up on Moto Z2 update page: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/motorola-moto-z2-play-update/

Got the update notice also; I thought with the delay of getting Oreo, we'd be getting 8.1 at least.

Where's that 5.1.1 Update?!?! (EDIT: New 14.6.A.1.216 Released)

I thought the 5.1.1 for Z2 and Z3 has come more than a month ago. "in the coming weeks" BS..
Don't get me wrong, but i've had enough memory leak issue on 5.0.2. All Apps getting closed in some random time.. Ugghh..
EDIT: XperiFirm is your best friend
EDIT 2: Any thoughts or patch note for 14.6.A.1.216?

Sorry but Yeah just to make people whiny again so Sony notice us again
CM FTW. I've learned to only purchase devices that has active CM support or will definitely have in the near future. Once the device is delivered and CM is available for it I'll flash CM straight away and never go back to stock again. Same for the ZU I got.

It's been told a few times before, 5.0.2 doesn't have memory leaks, just sayin'... It will come when it will be ready
Might not have mem leaks, but it has many issues (some of which were introduced in 5.0 and now we're waiting another version to get to previous levels of functionality) and some very serious security problems.
you know. I was wondering the same thing too where is the darn update to 5.1.1 I have big bugs on 5.0.2 the darn Bluetooth disconnects from my watch when I play some games, sound problems and some app don't works. a can only hope the sony hurry up and get that update with bugs fixed. this is why I'm using lollipup on my z ultra and KitKat on my z tablet compact cos KitKat works better then........hurry up sony........
You both guys have Chrome installed do you? Uninstall it right away, it's a totally different without it... I was amazed how this thing is making everything so slow
I am getting sick of waiting too
Even started to think we may not get it at all
I've been wondering too. I'm on Resurrection rom, but the battery is too short even with all the Xposed tweaks, so I really hope 5.1.1 Xperia firmware comes out soon, so that I can have a long battery life phone again.

More RAM i suppose but by deleting chrome you don't solve this. I deleted Chrome right after updating to 5.0.2 and i have still similar issues that some of users described here. I guess we need to wait for 5.1.1 and hope for fix. Btw 5.1.1 firmware was certified yesterday so it should roll out soon.
Main problem Ive got is dead background services and every app after switching. I think this can be solved only by increasing amount of ram or changing os.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Yeah, even sometimes Walkman is dying when i am listening music while browsing the web with Chrome. Switching to Firefox, even worse.. Grrr..
Any radio or music app closes when i open any other application.
So i end up using two phones, one for music and other for whatsapp and chrome.

I will be VERY surprised if they fix even ONE THIRD of the issues I see on my z ultra. ONE THIRD.
Hell, I would be perfectly happy if they just let us disable content adaptive backlight, like in the first rom, before they stupidly removed the option and instead of permanently disabling, they permanently enabled it
@d1g1m4n @hansip87 I'm using CM Browser for internet and Greenify to keep apps closed and I can listen to music and browse without any problems even with Viper4android, Chrome is just a piece of crap, it use the ram that lie on the table
@tsiros Yeah buddy, exactly. Remember how they were supposed to fix Kitkat bugs in Lollipop? They fixed a bunch but introduced a second bunch of them
Now that it has been certified we can just cross our fingers and wait but I'm not getting my hopes high given that I had 4 Sony Android phones and I don't thing they have changed that much in just a few months, y'know, it's Sony
I always got 300-400 mb ram free, no matter what am i doing or what apps hibernated in greenify, but backgr apps closing anyway.

I've not noticed any changes since updating - other than a newer kernel build (8/10). The camera app still seems quite buggy - that's the only issue I've experienced so far so can't really comment on anything else.

Your camera app too? FFC seems a bit shifty, the back camera seems fine. SlowMo video seems to freeze up though at times. Also is your front facing camera fairly blurry on taking photos? Mine is.

It's mainly SlowMo videos that struggle - sometimes they crash the camera app or don't play back correctly. My front facer is perfect, I'm really impressed with it.
Possibly one of those monthly security patches? I hope they release images for each one cause I haven't taken an OTA since... *thinks*... *thinks harder* Holy crap, I don't think I've ever taken an OTA.
Legit, I was in Verizon aka no update land from LG chocolate to droid after droid to Galaxy S3 all of which on cm and rooted etc. Since I've had MotoX 1 and Nexus 5 and 6 in T-Mobile, all rooted stock various kernels. Fastboot FTW.

It isn't... I applied the OTA and the monthly security patch is still October.
I would really appreciate it if someone could pull the OTA. On my 6P's first boot it downloaded the OTA right away. But when I went to install it it never rebooted or installed. Thanks in advance.

Same issue here. I'm wondering if they pulled the update.
I got mine last night, took a while
I must say although the UI is very snappy, anything involving app updates seems to take forever. Anyone else think this?

7.0 Nougat to arrive THIS YEAR!!

Yep, no joke. It's all over. Motorola has confirmed that Moto Z and Moto G4 will be getting Nougat taste in Q4, which actually beings only 4 days after.

I think it will take Moto G4 around December when first 7.0 build comes out.
What do you say?

Sadly, the Lenovo-owned Motorola is not the same thing as Google-owned Motorola. The updates aren't that faster now. Motorola had already acknowledged that even for their flagship like Moto Z, they would not push out security updates every month -- as they want to pack them in a bunch and release together quarterly or something.
For the Moto G4, I think they would do the same, or even at a lower rate. We haven't seen too many updates from Moto this year, compared to regular builds showered at Galaxy models by Samsung every now and then.
But it's okay, right? Security patches don't break the whole deal, and Moto G4 is an awesome device, at awesome price -- a range where not too many OEMs can say 'this device of ours will get Nougat, and that too within 4 months of the 7.0's release'. Right?
Speaking of updates, just got a prompt this morning to install Update MPJ24-139-64
This is on a US AMZ Lenovo G4
If anyone has applied it, good or bad effects?

Does the security patch level show May 1, 2016 or a later date. If later then it was probably just a security patch.

Nougat update
How can I get the new update of Nougat whenever it gets released? I am on Amazon prime phone with a locked bootloader and de-bloated.

I'm guessing that with the locked bootloader you didn't do much de-bloating so even though it's an Amazon Prime phone and it's still locked, it should hopefully still get the update. The information I got from someone at Amazon was that the Amazon phones would still have updates pushed out to them, it will just be a slightly different rom.
Is there NO ONE who has an unofficial nougat rom for this phone?! I've been working on getting it to run android 7.0 for hours, and every single threat I've looked at is all talking about the 2013, 2014, 2015 versions, or the one with the fingerprint scanner, or another moto device, talking about code names that in my searches I've never seen associated with any moto models. I bought this phone for the sole purpose of getting Android 7.0 on it. I refuse to believe that we have an UNLOCKED phone, that's ROOTABLE, that a Nougat ROM does NOT exist for. I would be elated if someone directed me to a file that WORKS. Both the ones I've tried have failed, and it won't tell me why.

What ones you have tried? No surprises there that it failed as they are not intended for the 2016 Moto G4/G4 Plus!
Quite simply, the 2016 model does not have the unofficial nougat, as the binary blobs for this cannot be found., if it was, there would have been a port of the AOSP ROM for it or a custom ROM available.
Can't you just wait a month or so until N is officially released? What is it that you're so desperate to get with Nougant anyway.

For some reason even though I combed through the threads with the model number specific to my device, and the name and "sub-name" I suppose one could call it, and still didn't find anything. I've since taken it back and gone another direction, but I appreciate the input.
If you want nougat, the AOKP rom from the g4 plus forum on here runs super smooth. They're on to nightly builds. The only real issue I had was installing host files on my adaway app, and assigning a custom ringtone. The ringtone issue is a bug in the rom that the developer said he'd address in the next build. I just switched ad blocker software for now, and I'm back in business.
I got Nougat on Moto Z Verizon but still waiting for G4 update...still shows Security Update May 1. lol

So you`d rather get a quick and buggy update then a stable one a bit later. I choose the latter one, besides that my phone is running great on 10F tbh and have no issues.

I rather informative communication versus the ambiguous responses received thus far. Not sure why people who allegedly have the update are commenting as if to discredit that there is something gone wrong with others, not to mention I was just on a 40 minute call with both companies and there is a known issue they aren't sure when the update will be "available" even though the website says it's available as of May 15th -
Don't worry. 10h seems to be a little wonky sometimes. Maybe it's just me but the only way to see is with a new update
On 10h myself. No issues. Wonder what bugs they are referring to.

My Motorola one (RETBR) is active in mfn and not receive Android 10 update, yesterday received december patch of Android Pie.
Same here. I am in the retbr channel but didn't receive the Android 10 update, only the December Security Patch.
Ok, I guess we can say for sure that it's a beta rollout then.
Still nice to know that it's in testing.

Good question. Beta program have been going on for quite some time now.
I wonder what's taking so long for Moto..
they just sent me another 9 security patch, I'm starting to think there will be no android 10 update for us.
Yup, just a security patch. I recently bought this phone in a hurry, and in my previous investigation I read somewhere the Motorola One would receive Android 10 at the second quarter of 2020, so I guess we'll have to wait. The Motorola Brazil reps said in Twitter there will be news for our device "pretty soon", but I guess that's just their standard answer.
