Android M Update for Moto X 2014 (XT1095) Rolling Out

Early in October Motorola let us all know their Marshmallow update plans for their lineup of devices, and over the last month have been rolling out a few of those updates:

• Moto X 2015 Pure Edition
• Moto X Style

As of yesterday, the Moto X 2014 (2nd Edition) Pure Edition has begun to join the party. Around mid-day XDA Member mikeboballen reported that he had begun to receive the update, and it was confirmed by various users throughout the day. I personally checked last night and did in fact receive the update, versioned 24.11.18.en.US. If you haven’t received the update yet, and are on an unrooted, stock build, you should receive the update soon. If you are on a custom build, you will need to return to stock – and thanks to XDA Senior Member Tovagulet there’s a nice walkthrough of that process.

Let us know your thoughts on the update in the comments below.

The new feature will use your phone to authenticate your identity by bringing up a notification that will allow you to grant or deny access to your account. If enabled, this feature should protect against keyloggers when using public computers.

How Twitter Used Doze to Optimize their Notification Service

Doze mode was introduced in Android Marshmallow to vastly improve battery life by cutting down on wakelocks, while still allowing developers to push important notifications by setting a priority level that can awaken the device from doze. In a blog post, the Google Developers team outlined some of the best practices employed by Twitter to improve notification performance without adversely affecting doze mode.
