Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 3, 2015 and for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 , include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statement of stockholders' equity, and statements of cash flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount it expects to receive for those goods and services. This ASU requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates and changes in those estimates. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date that delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to January 1, 2018 as the Company’s annual reporting period begins after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 allows for both retrospective and modified-retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption it will elect and is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Under this guidance, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are required to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of such debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this guidance. In adopting the ASU, the Company will be required to apply a full retrospective approach to all periods presented. This guidance will be effective January 1, 2016 and, upon adoption, debt issuance costs capitalized in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet will be reclassified and presented as a reduction to long-term debt. As of October 3, 2015 , debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet were $44 million . In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 340): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. Under this guidance, entities utilizing the FIFO or average cost method should measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, where net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU should be applied prospectively and will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

For the nine months ended October 3, 2015 , the assumed exercise of 2.6 million options were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014 , the assumed exercise of 4.9 million and 4.8 million stock options, respectively, were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. On August 25, 2015, the Company issued $1 billion of 2% Senior Convertible Notes which mature in September 2020 (the "Senior Convertible Notes"). The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 14.5985 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $68.50 per share). See discussion in Note 4. In the event of conversion, the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash. Because of the Company’s intention to settle the par value of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash, Motorola Solutions does not reflect any shares underlying the Senior Convertible Notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per share for the period exceeds the conversion price. Only the number of shares that would be issuable (under the treasury stock method of accounting for share dilution) will be included, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price exceeds the conversion price of $68.50 . For the period ended October 3, 2015 , there was no dilutive effect of the Senior Convertible Notes on diluted earnings per share attributable to Motorola Solutions, Inc. as the average stock price for the period outstanding was below the conversion price.

Debt and Credit Facilities	Debt and Credit Facilities As of October 3, 2015 , the Company had a $2.1 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility, which includes a $450 million letter of credit sub-limit, (the “2014 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement”) scheduled to mature on May 29, 2019. The Company must comply with certain customary covenants, including maximum leverage ratio as defined in the 2014 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of October 3, 2015 . The Company did not borrow or issue any letters of credit under the 2014 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement during the nine months ended October 3, 2015 . On August 25, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Silver Lake Partners to issue $1 billion of 2% Senior Convertible Notes which mature in September 2020 (the "Senior Convertible Notes"). Interest on these notes is payable semiannually. The notes are convertible anytime on or after two years from their issuance date, except in certain limited circumstances. The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 14.5985 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $68.50 per share). In the event of conversion, the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash. The Company has recorded a debt liability associated with the Senior Convertible Notes by determining the fair value of an equivalent debt instrument without a conversion option. Using a discount rate of 2.4% , which was determined based on a review of relevant market data, the Company has calculated the debt liability to be $992 million , indicating an $8 million discount to be amortized over the expected life of the debt instrument. The total of proceeds received in excess of the fair value of the debt liability of $8 million has been recorded within Additional paid-in capital.

Risk Management	Risk Management Foreign Currency Risk As of October 3, 2015 , the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $521 million , compared to $628 million outstanding at December 31, 2014 . The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions. The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of October 3, 2015 , and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2014 : Notional Amount Net Buy (Sell) by Currency October 3, December 31, Euro $ 142 $ 214 Chinese Renminbi (131 ) (161 ) Australian Dollar (44 ) (42 ) Brazilian Real (39 ) (28 ) Norwegian Krone (38 ) (90 ) Interest Rate Risk As of October 3, 2015 , the Company had $4.4 billion of long-term debt, including the current portion, which is priced at fixed interest rates. One of the Company’s European subsidiaries has Euro-denominated loans. The interest on the Euro-denominated loans is variable and the Company has an interest rate swap in place which is not designated as a hedge. As such, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are included in Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the interest rate swap was in a liability position of $1 million at October 3, 2015 and a liability position of $2 million December 31, 2014 . Counterparty Risk The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of October 3, 2015 , all of the counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. As of October 3, 2015 , the Company had de minimis exposure to aggregate net credit risk with all counterparties.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax items included in the annual effective income tax rate are pro-rated for the full year and tax items discrete to a specific quarter are included in the effective income tax rate for that quarter. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods. The following table provides details of income taxes: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 3, 2015 September 27, 2014 October 3, 2015 September 27, 2014 Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes $ 197 $ 151 $ 540 $ 337 Income tax expense 71 84 175 107 Effective tax rate 36 % 56 % 32 % 32 % The Company recorded $71 million of net tax expense in the third quarter of 2015 resulting in an effective tax rate of 36% , compared to $84 million of net tax expense in the third quarter of 2014 resulting in an effective tax rate of 56% . The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2015 was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to higher income in the U.S. relative to foreign operations. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2014 was unfavorably impacted by $55 million of tax expense related to the recording of a valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets. The Company recorded $175 million of net tax expense in the first nine months of 2015 resulting in an effective tax rate of 32% , compared to $107 million of net tax expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 32% in the first nine months of 2014 . The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2015 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the rate differential for foreign affiliates and the U.S domestic production tax deduction. The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2014 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% due to tax benefits associated with the net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits and revaluing of deferred tax assets for state effective rates.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company holds certain fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives, which are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Fair value is measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies as defined in the authoritative literature. This guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies are as follows: Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques, in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level in the fair value hierarchy as of October 3, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows: October 3, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets: Available-for-sale securities: Government, agency, and government-sponsored enterprise obligations $ — $ 59 $ 59 Corporate bonds — 9 9 Common stock 15 — 15 Liabilities: Foreign exchange derivative contracts $ — $ 2 $ 2 Interest rate swap — 1 1 December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets: Foreign exchange derivative contracts $ — $ 1 $ 1 Available-for-sale securities: Government, agency, and government-sponsored enterprise obligations — 14 14 Corporate bonds — 16 16 Mutual funds — 2 2 Common stock 71 — 71 Liabilities: Foreign exchange derivative contracts $ — $ 5 $ 5 Interest rate swap — 2 2 The Company had no Level 3 holdings as of October 3, 2015 or December 31, 2014 . At October 3, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had $1.5 billion and $3.3 billion , respectively, of investments in money market mutual funds (Level 2) classified as Cash and cash equivalents in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The money market funds had quoted market prices that are equivalent to par. Using quoted market prices and market interest rates, the Company determined that the fair value of long-term debt at October 3, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $4.2 billion and $3.6 billion (Level 2), respectively. All other financial instruments are carried at cost, which is not materially different from the instruments’ fair values.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters The Company is a defendant in various suits, claims and investigations that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s: (i) results of operations in the periods in which an adverse outcome becomes both probable and estimable or (ii) financial position or liquidity in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved. Other Indemnifications The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it is obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. In indemnification cases, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party's claims. In some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company. Some of these obligations arise as a result of divestitures of the Company's assets or businesses and require the Company to indemnify the other party against losses arising from breaches of representations and warranties and covenants and, in some cases, the settlement of pending obligations. The Company's obligations under divestiture agreements for indemnification based on breaches of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration and to amounts not in excess of a percentage of the contract value. The Company had no accruals for any such obligations at October 3, 2015 . In addition, the Company may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial and intellectual property agreements. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments under these agreements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount it expects to receive for those goods and services. This ASU requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates and changes in those estimates. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date that delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to January 1, 2018 as the Company’s annual reporting period begins after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 allows for both retrospective and modified-retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption it will elect and is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Under this guidance, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are required to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of such debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this guidance. In adopting the ASU, the Company will be required to apply a full retrospective approach to all periods presented. This guidance will be effective January 1, 2016 and, upon adoption, debt issuance costs capitalized in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet will be reclassified and presented as a reduction to long-term debt. As of October 3, 2015 , debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet were $44 million . In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 340): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. Under this guidance, entities utilizing the FIFO or average cost method should measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, where net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU should be applied prospectively and will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
