Any patch notes or info on build: 42.0.A.4.101?

Just received the latest software today and of course it is August 2017 Security Patch but I see that it's 551mb file size and just intrigued as to what's new or anything else...
Has anyone received this and has anybody noticed anything different or performance improvements?

Just seems relatively large for just a security update, so far device performance seems a lot better. Haven't had a lot of System UI crashes as before and like others have experienced and not getting tinny sound now and then I was receiving before. I just think recording performance within the camera could be improved too...

New OTA: NPN25.137-83

New update for me to install. I downloaded it, but haven't installed it yet.
I'm in the US on the Sprint network. Showed the August 2017 security update. I can't remember if there were other fixes or updates. It was only 168mb.

Just had it pop on mine in the last 5 minutes... On AT&T in North Dakota, already 50% though updating... I grabbed the url though: https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solution/MS122856

Ahhh... I knew the name sounded familiar and it just clicked.
I like it a lot actually, battery life is amazing and that seems to be my major thing lately, most other things seem of less importance now days, but to be honest it has been a solid device going on 6 or 7 weeks now. It just works.

I agree. I have no complaints, and the battery life is crazy compared to the N5. Four days compared to nightly charges.
It's a solid device right now, and appears to more than equal the N5.
I'm on factory for the time being. I may try rolling my own, but this is a different ecosystem than the Nexus world.

Anyone in india got that update??

Another update? UGH! I guess it is going to be like this from now on.... Repetitive updates...
Still on -35 and getting -35-5 announcements. Still haven't even updated to -35-5, -35-67 showed up, now -35-83?
Is it still rootable? Are there FULL FW's so I can upgrade or do I need to upgrade to -35 and let it update to -83? Do I need to be on -35-67 before the -35-83 is capable of being installed?

You are the only person I know of that is complaining about Moto deploying too many updates. lol
BTW, if anyone is curious this only contains security updates as of August 1, 2017... It still shows as Vulnerable to the Blueborne vulnerability.

I'm on NPN25-137-67 XT1686 Indian Varient
I didn't got any update?

Can someone grab the update zip? I'm on Verizon and it doesn't show for me....

Don't get me wrong, updates are great, but not if you are rooted and you have to go through a process to root then reconfigure the phone since it's not an OTA, you have to reflash a STOCK rom to allow OTA's, then you have to root (if possible, not sure if -83 is yet...) and then setup the phone the way you want it..

Huh... Why not wait and add the patch for BB? Odd... So the safest thing to do is to not even be using BlueTooth at all until it's patched? It's been 3 weeks right? 9-12 or was it 9-11 (what a coincidence)

Well... that's debatable... Although this vulnerability is real, the chances of being effected by it are so remote in most cases is so infinitesimally small that changing your usage habits probably isn't necessary.
Why the August one, probably because that is when they had is scheduled and it was nearly complete when the Sept update came out so they decided to just finish and release it anyway, why let the work go to waste. For Moto it is usually a couple months behind anyway.

My bad, I went out of sync with time for a min. It's AUGUST security the one on this -83 (not SEPTEMBER) so I am guessing there is another update coming!
Did you root your -67 (if you have -67?) My bootloader is already unlocked, do you know if Moto will eventually lock this (maybe Google forcing them to any time soon?)
Moto devs can unlock bootloaders and phone has ugly start image but other than that it all works as intended. (BTW, I am using SuperSU and BusyBox on my -35, not the Magisk root - I use Wifi Tether Router and doesn't work with Magisk)

Another update coming? I suppose, but since we just got this one I don't expect it for 3-4 months and that puts it in the timeframe of Oreo so this might be our last update to Nougat.
As far as the bootloader thing goes, I don't see Moto stopping this or actively blocking rooting, nor do I see Google doing this either.
I don't unlock or root anymore, just don't see the benefits.

+1. I'm on 43-5, a Verizon-exclusive update, and am not seeing an OTA. Chances are it's incompatible with my version and I'll have to reflash -35 and get the OTA. I'd suggest anyone else having this issue does as well. I'll report back as soon as I flash.

That's because Huawei introduced this feature as a security reminder. Once every 3 days, it'll be asked you to input your pw, in way to "help" you remind it.
Here's the full changelog about that update, there should be other features too.
"This update adds a new split-screen key to WhatsApp message banners. It lets you enter split-screen mode with a single touch, without having to leave a video in full-screen viewing.
Adds a new split-screen function. You can swiftly split the screen to check your WhatsApp messages by touching the split-screen key when you are watching a video. Adds the Recently deleted album in Gallery that retains deleted photos and videos for up to 30 days. Accidentally deleted photos and videos can be restored with a single touch. Adds a security procedure that requires you to enter your lock screen password every three days, helping you to remember your password.
Optimizes Camera performance for faster shutter response, and a smoother experience overall. Integrates Google security patches released in Mar 2018 for improved system security."

Not yet. But should be there within 5-6 days.

It will have following features
1) Proper Portrait mode without zoomed up pictures. ( In beta 28.4.18, We can change with a toggle in the viewfinder. )
2) Oreo 8.1 with April patches.
3) Full screen gestures.
4) Better RAM management and battery life ( Thanks to Oreo)
If I missed anything, I'll add. Early may is the expected time frame for stable OTA. Most probably will be 9.5.8 or 9.5.12.

Android 10 Release

Hi all.
Yesterday, I've got Android 10 on my Moto One Vision (Brazil Variant). But my wife and friends with he same device did not get it yet.
I"m wondering if the release is already official, or only for MFN members? I did register there, but did not receive any survey or anything like that yet (Like it happened with my old Moto G5 Plus).
Did anyone else got the update? If yes, how's your experience with it?

Can you post some screenshots of the version number etc?

I can't upload a screenshot right now, since i'm at work, and uploads are not allowed in the internal network (Sry). But below is the info on the About screen:
Android Version: 10
Android Security Patch Level: November 1, 2019
Google Play System Update: 2019-11-01
BaseBand Version: S337AP_KANE_SGCS_QB2594168
Kernel Version: 4.14.113-g0d0c343-dirty #1 Mon Nov 11
Build Number: QSA30.62
So far, it's been a good update.
Dark theme is great, also, the notifications are a lot better on this one (Divisions between Active and Silent Notifications, as well as the ability to "Seek" the music playing in Spotify via the notification itself).
Gestures navigation were weird in the first hour using them, but now, they make a lot of sense, and "feels natural" somehow.

What software channel are you using? Also available in About Info and it's very important

I think Android 10 closed beta testing has started by 26/11 for Brazil and India. At least that's what I've seen in tg group.

Yeah, confirmed on Lenovo Forums. Seems like the update is live for the ones that are on MFN only. I forgot i was registered (And did not get any email).

I hope and expect the final release to come in mid/late December. Would be a nice X-Mas gift

I'm from Brazil and I was not subscribed to mfn, I received the update yesterday, it's very good, very fast screen transition, but the app openings are a little slower, but I only have compliments so far, I'm finding it very good

Maintenance Release Notes for December says nothing about Android 10 but I guess we have to wait to be sure. Maybe they update pie first, then Android 10 at the end of the month.
Would be nice if it's stable enough to be released before the end of the year

Hey man, i'm sorry, but i don't think i'll be able to.
As per the requirements for the testing, we should not be talking about the tests on anywhere else except the private MFN forums, let alone help download the update...

I own the third Moto phone. In the base of my previous experiences I guess the stable 10 will not come before the end. I guess any January/February. I would like to be wrong in this case

Received a 94 MB update number PSA29.160-55-7 just now, still has the november patch but i guess its the preliminary update to Android 10 which i expect this month. Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
