Android 5.1 update for first-gen AT&T Moto X now available

Although testing of the Android 5.1 Lollipop update for first-gen Moto X handsets began in March, it seems much time was needed to iron out the bugs encountered. Fortunately, users of the Motorola Moto X 2013 handset on AT&T finally began to receive the new firmware earlier today.

The update to Android 5.1 Lollipop for the AT&T Moto X 2013 comes with a lot of fixes and tweaks as expected, but also packs a few other changes. WiFi and Bluetooth connections can be managed directly from the Quick Settings panel while the system volume controls and the screen pinning functionality have been improved. In addition to these, this update brings changes to Motorola Assist, Motorola Migrate, and MotoCare, but it does not stop here.

As it usually happens with such updates, if your Android smartphone does not receive it automatically, the user can easily check by going to Settings>About phone>System update>Check for update. This package has 701 MB in size, build number LPA23.12-21.1, and the entire version name of the firmware is 222.26.1.ghost_att.ATT.en.US.
