[RETUS | MOTO Z3 PLAY] New pie build OTA! - Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion

I got prompted for another software update today, May 9, 2019
It's build number PPW29.183-29-1
Stability improvements and security patch April 1st 2019
Can anyone with RETUS Moto z3 play also confirm they received this?

Not much has changed. Feels more fluid and stable. And I did notice one thing!! It's got this cute guy.
(See attached screenshot)

Nah, I still don't have the PIE update. I'm RETUS. Motorola Z3 play from Amazon without Alexa.

I just got a feb security update, hopefully they push pie soon.

I expect pie to be here soon for you guys since it's being pushed out to the MFN

Got the Feb security update yesterday, hopefully pie is close behind.
I'm on US Cellular.

I recieved the Feb Security update yesterday, not realky close to what there website says but im not realky caring much at this point. Id be interested in anything other than Android , its become another tool for the carriers , hokding people at bay for there uodates, making updates more prevalent for the phones the carriers claim are flagship ( more sales)

Does anyone know if ATT has released the update from Moto for Pie?

Yes I got the February security update and so did my daughter. I grow weary of wating for the pie update. I will have second thoughts about buying another Lenovo in the future even though they are a great value. I might be happier with a Google Pixel or similar product that receives updates as soon as they are ready.

Thanks for that, i'm checking on that with everyone here for a family member. They also got the security update, and like you are still waiting for the 9.0 update. Could be an ATT thing and not moto/lenovo? Not sure

It's not an AT&T thing. I got my Z3 Play retail unlocked and carrier-free, and I'm still waiting (frustrated) for Pie.

Unlock bootloader and install the Pie rom works great. I have an unlocked bootloader and my wife have the original z3 play. We are both on febr. securityupdate android Pie.

I wasn't in a rush, but this is what happened when I updated to Feb patch 28.70-31.12. Then another posted with same. The phone is on its way to Motorola. I just hope my "refurb" will have a new battery because I sure don't need a replacement device that's been out there for nearly a year.

its motorola theyve sent the updates to the beta team (aka, motorola feedback network). once motorola feels the updates good, it pushes it out to the devices on the RETUS software channel (all of the USA models), so its not necessarily up to the carrier to provide yall the updates, cause you can get it even if there is no sim card in the phone. its just not quite ready for public release

After dealing with Moto when it came to updates for my Atrix 4G (scrapped 4.0 update) and Atrix HD (ignored in favor of Razr HD), and then moving away to my J5, i wasn't sure how Moto was running things today. From what you're saying, the update process hasn't changed.
It makes sense what you say, b/c I was able to track down the modern day sbf files for flashing via rsd (script used today was seen back then when presented in a non-sbf format, still flashable via rsd), ended up reading android version 9, with build dates back in feb and march of this year.
I'm not following this closely, just poking around for any news for a family member, but we definitely know that its in MFN testing?

I'm still stuck on the November 1, 2018 update. It even says I'm up-to-date. Any ideas why?
I am bootloader unlocked with Magisk.

Just updated. Z3 Play unlocked.

OTA?

Yes. OTA. AT&T network. Not sure if that makes a difference.

This is what I got today, but it is the FIRST ota to hit my phone. It's the Feb 1 security patch that LMSA app couldn't install properly on my phone. The replacement phone came with Jan. 1 patch.
I do hope we get more sightings of RETUS Pie in the wild. I'm returning my sim to my Pixel 3a for a while--at least I get AT&T wifi calling with it. I even get a better phone signal with it.

Yes, it's true.
They took almost one month for an 80 MB update, and today, 20 May, it's not released for all users but only for a bit of them.
It's really...normal .
Enjoy your update
So what?
Xiaomi is cheating on us. This is really bullsh*t, it is Android One phone and should get NEWEST android ASAP. Im starting to hate Xiaomi.

It is no crap, unless you show me a contract you signed in which it says they have to Release it in x months after it is publicly available.
Or show me a device starting with nougat which already has it.
Other than that people would complain if it has bugs. With Samsung, the note 8 hasn't even got 8.0 yet because it is too buggy.
So basically your post is bulls*** as we almost always get our security updates in the same month. Galaxy s9 is still on February afaik. Besides that 8.1 is still Oreo and not really worth that much anyway. Then again if it helps yourself with whining keep going but don't annoy others with it
Well it is kinda the point of Andoid One to always be up to date. Without all the manufacturer crap this should really be faster.

Nope.
The point of Android One is to have an android version closer to the specifications of Google, meaning zero or very little customization from the manufacturer.
Has nothing to do with updates. If you want updates, buy a Pixel.
Most devices are abandoned even before they are available to buy, and you complain because you have May update in... May?
What are you going to do with 8.1 that's so important? Besides, it's coming! We already have a beta for it. So what's the big deal?
Go buy a Motorola phone and enjoy 0 updates.

Each update that comes just changes Build No. And security patch date, you can't feel any changes expect that. Whats the point of such updates, they Fu*king just don't release a changelog, so only they the the changes they did.
I had moto G3, it had got 6.0.1 and got security patch till April 17, i don't know which Moto phone you are talking about.

Nope, i didn't mean that. Their are few bugs left you can find them on Forum,but they don't fix them first, secondly they adda new bugs, like the charging time has increased after April Patch by atleast 30-40 mins. Xiaomi just fails when it comes to answer question relating to updates ,features and anything, they just don't reply to them, with even a simple NO.
If any of you went to android one program webpage and actually read of it, there wouldn't be any stupid discussions.
It should have 8.1 few months ago already. Meanwhile were getting stupid security patches and nothing else.

About the charging time, I fail to see how an update could do that, or they changed something in the kernel (which I highly doubt). Seems to me like a hardware matter
Agreed.

The security patches are also legit or not thats big question. Who know's we possibly are getting updates with build number changed only?
You want fast updates? Buy a Pixel!
Xiaomi is known for it´s great specs/ price relation but it´s terrible in the update department, this varying given model x or y. As for our Mi A1, yes, updates are a little slow but still on time .

I had a Moto G³ too. I've always used custom ROMs with it. It was amazing but stock really sucked.
Xiaomi has the worst community in the world, no doubt.
Anyway, seems like the pre-oreo update, less than 100mb and after 3/4 days Oreo was released.

No Feb Security Update?

Hi, I'm with Koodo, haven't received Feb security updates yet. Today is last day of February...
Same
I posted on the Fido forums about this issue and received the following response.
"I need to apologize for the confusion/misinformation. I just checked in with our device team and can confirm that LG actually wasn't able to deliver the February SMR on time. It was delayed to the point that they decided to go ahead with the March SMR instead, which Google agreed to. I have updated the OS schedule to reflect this.
We understand that you should be receiving monthly security updates on the G7 One, given that it's an Android One device. It's unfortunate that they haven't been delivered as promised.
Thank you, though, for posting this valuable feedback. It has already been passed along to our device team."

Right, and here we are March 14th and do not have the March one either! What a crock.
And LG is wondering why they're loosing money in their mobile division even though their phones are decent. Extremely poor in terms of taking care of their customer base.
Wondering if we can complain to BBB or some other agencies for misleading advertisement.
i talked to LG on Friday , they said that they had already sent March security update to the carriers.
this is getting ridiculous.
* edit * just got off the phone with LG again, this time i was told that all the software /security updates are pushed out by google... calling google now
Finally, I see an update and downloading it now. It's 338.4 MB in size. Phone is from Koodo ( Canada ) originally but have switched to Zoomer.
It did receive a february update in Japan, was pushed on 21 Feb.

C782 No updates since 9.0

Anyone else on C782 noticed since we got 9.0 (168) we haven't had anymore updates/security patches in a while, anyone know whats up with that? i feel like our phones have just been abandoned this is first and last time i use Huawei, Google Pixel or Samsung next upgrade for me at least they get monthly patches/fixes even my bros S8 is being security/bug patched each month.
I've noticed it too.
Still on .168
Still on .159 with November security
Get yourself on Huawei forums, under software there's a very large post, join the crowd pressuring them to change their process. Mods have put up "false" updates to try quieten the roar and just made it worse. Infuriating that FF can't work once you're already on pie, don't fancy downgrading and full wipe just for my security patch

They said themselves bi monthly updates for all p m and nova handsets, clearly trying not to get banned from anywhere else and bit off more than they can chew. Any time I've spoken to someone, being able to speak to anyone more senior than first point of contact is impossible (which from experience I'm pretty sure goes against certain rules re: complaints) contemplating a ceo office email with links to all these such posts and their own promises.
Not that it'll make a difference. Just need to vent haha

I'm with Three. Still on 159, November security patch. Just been on a live chat with them. Nothing resolved but got a £25 credit.
Still on .168 for me as well, showing 1st December security patch.
Last time I buy Huawei as well, I don't mind not getting full updates but not even getting security updates is ridiculous.

Bi-monthly would do me fine. In a dream world I'd like 9.1 and camera processing parameters from the P30 Pro (I've read it's a little less heavy on the processing) but I doubt we'll ever see that!
Still 1st Dec 18 security for me, unlocked phone from o2 with Voda sim.
Pathetic, it's almost 5 months out of date.
Love the phone but won't buy another Huawei.

My point being the article was written the say after I said I doubt we'll ever see 9.1.
You're right though, probably still months to wait until we see it.

Asia Pacific is getting monthly security updates so far. I on April security at the moment.

No information yet. For now, September 2019 Q910UM20t Android Pie 9.0 is now up.
Anyways, you can go to this page so you can monitor upcoming updates:
https://forums.fido.ca/t5/custom/page/page-id/forumpage.osupgradesen
I almost had the September SMR but my battery was too low. After charging I couldn't get it again.
However... Now the fido update schedule says September 18 for the SMR plus additional updates.
Are we getting 10?
Yes we will get 10, and maybe 11 next year if we're lucky. They guarantee two years of major updates, but the release of this phone (October) is near the release date of Android, so it could go either way for 11.
Last year we got Pie around the third week of November, so it may be the same this year.
I know we're getting 10 eventually. I meant are we getting it on the 18th? Or does anyone know what these additional updates are?
2 days and I'll know.
LG customer rep said by December 2019. Not sure if customer reps can be trusted but the last time I asked they had no date
I just asked a few minutes ago and they have now set a date of December 30, 2019 for the update.
They recently told me Q1 2020 so not sure what to believe. Hoping for Dec
I was also told today November 20th, that it will be released at the end of December 2019. At least for the Canadian variant.
Fido update schedule lists Android 10 as "coming soon"
Hopefully this means it will come with Dec security update which is also coming soon for pixel devices. Either way it's nice to know it's close.

XT1900-1 september security patch

Just received the September security patch for Moto x4 XT 1900-1 retail version.
Thought I might share the news with the good fellas here.
same here on my XT1900-7, it is just strange that it was automatically installed, without my confirmation
Thought it's October now... Isn't that a month late???

Late is better than never, which is the case for the vast majority of phones many of which are newer than the X4.
Does anyone know if the FI/AndroidOne version for sept. has be released? Can't find in my usual locations.
Noticed on the Lolinet site that the RETUS releases has "PPWS29.69-40-3-1" uploaded on 10/3. Seems like a newer build just going by the naming scheme?

I got the update today as well, which came as a surprise. I was wondering the same thing regarding some urgent fix.
Maybe they are trying to appease the masses over not getting Android 10 by providing faster security updates. I feel like they wiggled out of providing the upgrade. Technically speaking from a calendar standpoint, the Android 10 release was within the 2 year OS upgrade path when looking at the release date of the phone. Rant over. Time to look towards custom ROMs.
i just got november, PPWS29.69-36-2. support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS145560
