…announcing that the Moto G 4.4.2 update ought to start hitting people’s phones from today. But, it says the process will take a week before it trickles out to everyone, so it might be a while before you’re hooked up with the OTA notification.

Here’s the thing from Motorola:
Android KitKat Comes to Moto G in the UK – Our KitKat family is expanding! When we launched Moto G to the UK market in November 2013, we committed to delivering Android, KitKat, to devices by early 2014. We’re thrilled to start delivering on that promise. Over the next week we are officially rolling out Android 4.4.2 to Moto G phones – starting today! This latest version of Android brings some cool new features, including printing emails and photos from your phone.
WHY AM I ALWAYS THE LAST IN LINE?
COME ON IT’S NOT FAIR.
PLEASE MAKE IT COME ON MY TELEPHONE MOTOROLA I AM NICE ABOUT YOU NOWADAYS.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ January 13, 2014I think it only downloads for phones in portrait.
Worked for my phone once I flashed US retail on it.
The only downside is I have to remember what network I’m on since my phone doesn’t display it in the status bar.

I’d actually like to get rid of the operator name from the status bar of my phone so I can go back to using it – it looks so much swishier.

/ January 13, 2014Yes, I’d like to get rid too. It’s quite distracting when my connection keeps coming and going, so it blinks on and off all the time.

/ January 14, 2014You probably already know this, but one of the Android engineers revealed that it only actually checks once a day. So after you first check, (when it basically draws a lottery ticket to see if you’re one of the lucky first adopters) it just pretends to be checking for updates for the next 24 hours. It’ll only draw another lottery ticket after 24 hours has passed.

/ January 14, 2014What about all the *#checkin#* business and Google services cache clearing? Isn’t that supposed to help?
