Verizon’s original Moto X finally receives Android 5.1 update

Posted on by

The original Moto X from 2013 has been updated to Android 5.1 Lollipop in June. In July even AT&T’s version of the smartphone got the update. However, Verizon’s model is only now about to receive the new software.

The carrier nicknamed Big Red has finally approved the update for the Moto X, which means the new bits are now headed to the devices so far stuck on Android 4.4. The fact that Motorola decided to skip the Android 5.0 Lollipop release for the original Moto X will make this an even bigger deal for people who bought the handset from Verizon. Hence, the changelog is pretty big. If you’re interested in going through it all, make sure you hit the Source link below.

As usual with these things, allow a few days for the update to reach you if it hasn’t already, since such rollouts are staged. After applying it, you’ll be on software version 222.21.39.

NVIDIA recalling certain SHIELD Pros due to hard drive issues

Posted on by

It looks like NVIDIA is having some quality issues with the SHIELD Pro. The company says that it has found that less than 1 percent of all units sold have exhibited accelerated hard drive degradation, which causes issues with the user interface or just simple failure during an update.

If you update to the system software version 1.4 and it fails, you may have a bad unit. It also might cause heavy pixelation in the top row of the Android TV home screen. If you have these issues, head here to get your replacement. You won’t even need to ship yours out and wait for it to arrive to get your replacement shipped out, because NVIDIA will ship a replacement immediately to minimize down time.

Fortunately, the standard 16GB flash models aren’t affected. Have you had an issue with the NVIDIA SHIELD Pro? Let us know in the comments!
