If all goes well, full deployment can happen the following week," said Schuster in a report from Droid Life.

 Android 5.1 Lollipop update for the Moto X first generation brings various enhancements and error fixes. Moto X 2013 owners will be able to connect with their Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks easily and straightly through the quick settings.
