They finally released 13, although it's only got the April security update. It's standard practice for Motorola. This will be the only version update this phone will get and we'll see about the security updates. At least bi-monthly security updates are supposed to be released for this phone and that is now out the window.
A Moto G5 update before an edge+ update is rather peculiar. Glad yours has been updated. I’m more concerned about not getting the bi-monthly security updates. Should have had two updates since February.
A bunch of angry users over at the Lenovo forums for the Motorola edge+ 2022. Not getting any real answers from Motorola on the issue. My phone is stuck on the February security update even though moto claims the phone is to receive “at least” bi-monthly security updates for three years. I can’t get any feedback about the issue, comments are dismissed and not ever answered.
This isn’t saying much, but I haven’t read about many issues with the N200 and the update to 12. I saw a few reddit posts about what seems to be typical update issues across the board with all manufacturers.I just find it rather odd that the N200, a $199 dollar phone, gets priority over this phone. It tells me that T-Mobile has some say in the priority of a manufacturer’s updates. Just guessing though, I’m clearly in over my head on this one.
The blame game is just to shut.the.consumer up but it is 95% on the device manufacturer. As a person who has tested builds for just about every manufacturer that sells their devices through a carrier in the US and Canada. It has been over a decade since carriers have had any meaningful impact on an update, especially a major one. I get it. OnePlus just gave a big middle finger to the T-Mobile community. Well, the few people that fell for the OnePlus 8 hype that is.
Everything works fine if you use the MSM Tool to load the Global/NA firmware on the T-Mobile variant. The hardware is the same. WiFi Calling works, VoLTE works, RCS works, etc. It is recommended you request T-Mobile SIM unlock your device first though. The device can only be SIM unlocked on the T-Mobile firmware. This is probably the best thing to do but a lot of people don’t feel comfortable doing something like this. The entire android update process is still a major problem. It seems like carriers claim that the manufacturer is holding up the update and manufacturers like OnePlus claim it’s the carrier. It’s also rather strange that a low-end phone like the Nord N200 gets the Android 12 update before a “flagship” at the time of it’s release does. I know the 8 is old in today’s cell phone world, but it’s still a very capable device, much more so that the N200. To me this show’s it’s not about the hardware but how many phones were sold. It’s obvious that the OnePlus 8 was
