First-Gen Moto G handsets to receive Lollipop Update according to ‘Future Updates’ message from Motorola
If you own a first-generation Moto G, it appears that Motorola is sending messages to begin readying your device to receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update in the ‘upcoming weeks’. If you’ve received this message, it’s important to click the ‘More Info’ tab at the bottom, as explained after the break.
Motorola is asking recipients of the Future Updates message to select the ‘More Info’ tab so that they can check if their device has the latest version of Motorola Update Services installed via the Google Play Store. If not, just click update and let the install process finish. If you don’t update the services app, the message states that ‘You will not receive the lollipop upgrade if this step is incomplete.’
Now that you’ve updated the Motorola Update Services on your Moto G, it’s just a matter of waiting for the Lollipop update to arrive. As the message states though, this should be in the upcoming weeks so there isn’t long to go.

How would you change the original Moto X?
Today’s trawl into the annals of gadget history takes us to the first Moto X, a device that, at the time, we believed would be a turning point for Google and Android. After all, it was the first device Motorola had released since Google swallowed the firm, and came with some notable features. Between Moto Maker, the Active Display and those “always on” features, it felt as if other smartphone makers had all been placed on notice. By now, of course, we all know how that turned out. If you bought one, you’re likely to have plenty of opinions about it, so why not hop over to our forum and tell the world what you would have done differently?

Metal Moto 360 variants will be available in Canada in March
If you’ve been waiting to pick up a Moto 360 with a metal band in Canada, your wait is almost over. The company is set to release the metal-clad variants of its smartwatch later in March this year at a few different retailers.
The dark and light metal Moto 360 will be available for $329, and you’ll be able to pick up both options at Future Shop or Best Buy. TELUS will also be carrying the dark metal 360, and they’ll exclusively sell the champagne finish watch with the 18 mm strap, if you’re looking for something a little thinner.
Of course, you can always swap these out for custom watch bands if you don’t like the options or don’t want to wait.

Motorola extends Valentine’s Day savings through February 17th
A few weeks ago, Motorola introduced a big sale through the Motorola website in celebration of Valentine’s Day. The deal was scheduled to begin Monday, February 2nd and extend to Saturday, February 14th. As we approach the final days of the sale, Motorola has just announced the sale will now extend to Tuesday, February 17th at 11AM CT.
For the Valentine’s Day sale, Motorola is offering savings up to $100 with all purchases $499.99 and above, or $35 off all purchases $249.99 and above. For reference, the off-contract 16GB Moto X (2nd Generation) costs $399.99, so you’ll need to tack on another item to get you over that $499.99 price point. This can be any combination of gadgets, like the Moto X and Moto 360, a Moto X and a Moto Hint, two Moto 360s, or any number of other combinations.
Unfortunately, this deal excludes the Google Nexus 6, the Moto X (2nd Gen.) on Republic Wireless and the Moto Care Accident Protection Plan. If you’re interested in taking advantage of this sweet deal, either for yourself or your loved one, head to the Motorola link below.
