T-Mobile Moto X gets Android 4.4.2 update first - CNET
The modest but important KitKat upgrade brings support for cloud printing, improved battery life, and an email bug fix.
The Moto X begins receiving Android 4.4.2 updates.
(Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET)T-Mobile is the first carrier to see an Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Moto X smartphone. According to release notes posted on Motorola's website, the release is now available for download.
The update is a small one but handy nonetheless. In fact the only thing new that's listed in the official software changelog is support for cloud printing through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Google Cloud Print and HP ePrinters. Other enhancements included within the patch such as battery life improvement and a Microsoft Exchange email fix are essentially band-aid measures.
It's worth noting that T-Mobile technically doesn't offer its own version of the Moto X handset. Indeed the carrier pushes customers directly to Motorola to purchase the company's unlocked GSM model. Because of this I'll bet this particular model will be first concerning future updates down the road. As for the other carrier branded models of the Moto X and their respective 4.4.2 update, Motorola lists them as "coming soon".
If you're using an unlocked Moto X and want to check for the update manually, within the Android settings menu navigate to Settings>About phone>System updates.
Put the internet to work for you.
