Moto X 2014 (2nd Gen)
The Android 5.1 Lollipop for the second-generation Moto X 2014 looks to improve the phone's stability and provide users with better control over notifications.
The update lets phone users block incoming notifications when they set the alarm. This function allows the alarm to still go off even if the phone is set to "No Interruptions."
Similar to the first-generation Moto X, the second-generation version also allows notifications to be cleared by swiping them off the screen. They will be placed on the notifications tray where users can dismiss them later.
Wi-Fi access points and Bluetooth device settings can now be adjusted through the new pull-down menu. Conditional settings tiles, such as "Hotspot" or "Invert Colors," can now be removed from the active screen by long-pressing each tile.
The Lollipop update improves the viewfinder's responsiveness with the front-facing camera. It also reduces the noise during low-light shots.
Several bugs have also been fixed, such as non-updating status bar clocks, unresponsive alarms, no ringer audio when making an outgoing call and the inability to delete SMS messages when the SIM card is full.
Moto E (2nd Gen)
The Moto E software update features several improvements similar to the Moto X 2013 and 2014, such as the ability to dismiss heads-up notifications easily and the "No Interruptions" functionality.
Moto E phones will remain locked even when lost or stolen. It will only be unlocked if the owner signs in to his or her Google account. Resetting the phone back to its factory settings will not affect this security feature.
The phone's Android Runtime (ART) has been improved for faster launches of applications with the Android 5.1.
