System Update today. Question!

[Doukeyakusha]

I got my phone today, had to change delivery date because I wasn't home on the 12th. There was a system update that improves call quality or something. So, big question. Did anyone who installed stock Moto firmware without the Amazon bloat still get the update? If so, what was the outcome? Thanks. :good:

I don't think there was a system update for the US model today.

I got it (and did it because I know better, but wanted the improved call quality...).
Anyway...

Yeah, U.S. user here. Got it. Wasn't lying Thanks for the screenshot yo.

Thanks...It looks like the build and kernel changed but the baseband remained the same. I'll be curious to see if anyone that flashed over the original Amazon rom gets it.

I haven't been able to receive the update. Tried searching both when my bootloader was locked running Amazon bloat OS, and unlocked running almost-stock OS.

I imagine it's going to trickle out over time. Previous OTA's have done that. Also, I went ahead and signed up for Motorola's feedback program. I was a soak on tester on two previous phones and hopefully I'll get chosen on this one. Being on the odd roms doesn't matter according to the Motorola engineer I talked to. He said they also push the soaks out to the Consumer Cellular, Straight Talk, etc specific roms just like they do for all Moto roms since they need to be tested like any other rom. A buddy of mine actually got a Consumer Cellular soak rom on his AT&T phone while soak testing.

I flashed my to stock oem, no update yet.

Thanks for the responses. I haven't done anything to my phone yet....wanted to be certain of some things first lol. Honestly, the amazon ads aren't bothering me like I thought they would. It's a great phone. I'm liking it. But I've had my nexus 5 for a long time, so almost anything is better haha. The quick charge 3.0 is awesome. I am just wondering if the Amazon bloat or ads do hinder the battery life?

Any update on extracting the full bloat Amazon ROM yet for those that want to go back to full Amazon stock?

Sorry for the noob question. Does getting an OTA depend on a sim being in the phone or not? My amazon moto g4 is a secondary phone and mostly just on wifi.

Not that noob of a question. I never thought about it that much but I would think no, it doesn't have to be in.

Rootjunky is working on a script to flash back to the Amazon firmware using the oem.img from my Amazon Moto G4

He says that you'll need an unlocked bootloader to flash the oem.img but after you flash it you will be able to take ota updates.

Anyone know if Verizon has updated their system to accept the phone yet. US version

Have you been on the Motorola forums? There's a big thread over there the mods are working on about that. Motorola says they're supposed to work and Verizon says the G4 isn't approved yet. I haven't followed it completely but I thought I saw where some people got their phone activated and some still couldn't.

Another probably noob question: it says the update cannot be removed. I allowed Samsung to update my note 2 and then couldn't ever get it to go back. I don't want Lenovo/Amazon to pull the same fast one on me.

If I'm reading your question right then no it cant be removed but you can flash the full rom and go back.
