The long anticipated Android 4.4.2 update for the T-Mobile and GSM unlocked Moto X is live and pushing to owners now. The new version is build 161.44.25.en.US and is 146.7Mb in size. This is not only for T-Mobile Moto X owners, but anyone that owns GSM unlocked Moto X, model XT1053, including the GSM Developer Edition. If you have a carrier logo on the back of your Moto X, this is not for you.

A few highlights, aside from Android 4.4.2, are added support for printing photos, Google Docs, GMail messages, and other content via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cloud printers; a battery life bug fix that a small number of users on Android 4.4 experienced; and a bug fix for e-mail services like Microsoft Exchange to take care of intermittent delays in data synchronization. Release notes are available at Motorola’s customer support website.
