Z2 Play Pie Rom - RETUS Channel? - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

So its been 7 weeks since Pie was released to Brazil, and then to India, etc. I am not sure where in the food chain the US market is for getting the release.
I know there was a news release about the Z2 Force not getting a Pie release(unless you were Verizon), but did not see anything about the Play. I have a Z2 Play purchased through Motorola on their Amazon store in US. Is there still a Pie release coming?
Thx
Chris

Moto Z Play should easily get Android O too

I am shocked too see people spreading the news that moto z play will get Android 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 like its so fortunate for moto z play. I mean c'mon doesn't Google has an 18 months software update policy? This phone was just released in September 2016. So I believe our moto z play should go atleast till Anroid O yeah?!

Yes you are right!
With Android O Google makes it easier for manufacturers to develop upgrades so who knows, maybe we get even later versions of Android on our Play.

I believe that is the exact reason it will be sent to an early grave
Qualcomm will be like: nah we ain't working on that new vendor interface for our old SOC, why should we
And if not them Motorola will be like: Nah we ain't working on including that new major change Qualcomm made, too much effort for our midrange device
Nobody knows, except moto

Time for a class action lawsuit. We were mislead.
I bet if people did sue, these companies would be more careful with their promises, or do things more timely.

Hi, Brazil variant.
From India here, having the Dual sim variant, my Moto Z2 play still on the November 2017 security patch.
No Oreo Update, seriously upset, since there is not even a Date announcement for an Oreo update.
Highly dissappointed
Better staying on nougat for stability. Getting oreo too soon and some annoying bugs just like oreo on Mi A1. I'm pretty sure Oreo on Z2 Play will be out as soon as it's considered stable.
Yesterday i get Dicember patch.
Italian Moto Z2 Play with TIM brand
Verizon variant here don't even have the December patch it's very sad.
I just got the December patch update 15 mins ago in India, retin. Waiting for Oreo but a stable one.
Oreo isn't a magical fantastic update. It's nothing to get excited about, it's mostly just a number, with a few new bells, lets be patient.
Now if "Skittles" is released and we are still waiting on Oreo. Then it's time for pitchforks.

Yeah, but we buy the devices because they promise the updates. They can just make android 10 with no changes at all but the number, yet if moto promises the update, we deserve to get it

Again, if that promise was a factor in your purchase, you have every right to sue.
And I gotcha back!

Another security update in April(no oreo update yet)

We're waiting for the Oreo update but it doesnt seem to be coming anytime soon.
Just another security update.
Maintenance update: https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/126135
Last night my XT1670 retla was updated to the security patch of January 1st. Still Android 7.0, but waiting for Oreo...
And I received january security patch today (XT1671 RETLA)
Di you notice any changes in behavior?
On reteu also the same update
I already got the march patch some days ago, retbr
Maybe Android Oreo will be released in April 19th, 2018. It's the announcement date of Moto G6 Play, Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus.

That's really bad news because if we don't get the update before G6 launch we'll probably never see oreo on the G5, it's going be forgotten by lenovo.

They will update the Moto G5 Series to 8.0.0.

they said the same for the G4 series and then didn't even updated to nougat as of today, 2 years+ later.
They updated Moto G4 series Unlocked variants to 7.0 and 7.1.1
The worst ever software update service i ever had. Thought samsung was the worst. But its non other than Moto. I bought this phone just because... Thinking that it will be stock Android, it will update quickly.. and will have better support. Moto used to be ahead of evey other , right behind nexus / pixel devices in terms of software update. But soon after Lenovo acquired moto, software update is a nightmare for every single moto phone.
You may have seen xda portal news about moto g6 series. Well they too wont be getting much support either.
I bought this phone as my secondary phone... I will give this to mom and will buy something like xiaomi note 5 or Zenfone pro m1 . I have a pixel 2 xl as primary.. evey time it gets update notification... I desperately check software update on this too. Now its on march 1 security update. I am looking forward to 64bit official os. Hope Lenovo will do it atlest in two years.
Btw.. i had only one phone from Lenovo ever before. A6000 just 3 days after i bought it its vibration motor stopped!! And when i searched for the reason , i figured out that it was one of their common problems. So i thought to put in some local vibrator motor from local market.. as going and waiting for service is too time consuming. When i opened the phone. I was literally shocked by the quality of the pcb construction.. it was like cheep chineese phones.. soo bad construction .. lol.. they dont even care to put rf sheilds and cheep quality wires and speakers. Literally... Some Chinese manufacturers make better pcb.. If you compare that pcb with something like nokia 1110 ( ya a phone from almost 10 years back) . Nokia's pcb is still the winner. !! Generations ahead.. still .. That day i decided.. i will never buy a Lenovo product again. And I didn't even care to go to local market and buy a vibration motor for that phone.. i closed it. And after a week, gifted to a friend.
Lol.. p20 and p20 pro.. good they sealed it. Donno what will be inside.
I also bought moto to get quick updates and I think, best solution to get oreo is installing custom rom and voiding warranty. That's so funny, lenovo can't still release oreo, but custom roms are on 8.1

Update Android pie

How long it takes to become Update to Android 9.
Older devices from Moto like the Moto G6 get it.
For our Z2 Force no news.
Hope that I could use after that volte after Update to Android 9.
Now with Android 8 volte is disabled for european devices ?
Motorola Brazil said the next phones getting Pie are: Moto Z3 Play, Z2 Force, Z2 Play, G6 and G6 Play.
I believe we will get it with the March Update. There are probably a security update coming within the next days, so Pie will probably the update after that one.
Too bad we not even have 8.1
My favourite Substratum themes don't support 8.0 since a while and I am frustrated waiting for an update ....

The Moto G6 is from April 2018, but the Moto Z2 was released in September 2017.
Are u shure that volte is disabled is in European model? I'm using an Europe model and volte and Wifi calling is working without any problem.

That's right, but Z-series get two major updates. First difference. And the second difference is that the Z2 Force is a 799€ device and not just 249€ like the Moto G6. So we can expect more and longer updates for it. Normally Z-phones should get it first. We have no 8.1, so at least 9.0 first. Hope

No, there is no Option to enable volte and wifi calling.
I read online that Motorola disabled it after Update from Android 7 to 8 cause they had a Problem with that. But never fixed it. After that long Times that is not ok. I cant count that as a Support.
If volte is not working after Update to Android 9 the z2 force Was the last device I bought from Motorola.
What is Moto doing? Not even a security patch since November. This is an Android Enterprise Recommended smartphone. They are supposed to follow Google's guidelines to get security updates atleast every 90 days. We're in February almost and no security patch is being released or Android 9. Google should tell them a thing or two.

Should coming in few days. Have seen, that the january patch is documented on moto page for z2 force and z3 play. Keep cool, it's on the way. But no pie xD Next time maybe :silly:
Almost all of the Moto devices are on Pie now , mine Moto X4 is also on Dec Patch Pie update , only the flagship Z series is lagging behind :'(
Last time , Oreo came in Dec but this time i think Moto is gonna follow Moto Z , who received Oreo in Apr 2018 (after Dec 17 patch) =_=
openmx still on november patch
Here, too. Seems that's need more time.

An official from Motorola Spain said to me at the Moto G7 launch event that the Moto Z2 Android Pie update has started but it's rolling out really slowly. It has the December 2018 security patch, just like the new G7. I'm typing this from the new G7 BTW.
I think they delayed the update. Z2F official website shows the January update already, but seems like nobody received it yet. Retbr here and still nothing.

I hope that's the case but to be honest I really doubt it. I believe we will only Pie with the March Update or even later. Z3 Play haven't received Pie yet, I doubt we will get it before it.

That's good news! Now this can really mean there's a possibility that Motorola delayed the security update to finally update Z2F to Pie. If this scenario become reality, I guess we should be seeing Pie in the next coming weeks. Fingers crossed

Android Pie Update

Guys when we get Android Pie update for our Z2 Play?
Moto g7 just got the update today. I guess it will come soon
Z2 Force deployment has started so the Z2 Play should be seeing at least a soak test in the coming months.
