OTA Software update

[The Wagster]

Recycling power? What is that? I've noticed I can turn my Atrix off at 50% and turn it back on without charging and the battery is now at 70%!

I don't mind the way it only tells you battery level in 10% steps.

Lol, I meant to say power cycling not recycling power.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. I just noticed that even though it went up 20% initially it came back to where it should be quickly.

I guess I don't really know why Motorola decides to display 10% battery increments. Is it too resource intensive to display every 1%?

I cracked and just updated using the Moto software on my computer... couldn't wait any longer for the update that wouldn't show up! Lets hope this fixes some of the issues I've had with the phone and makes it run a bit smoother!

I updated mine about an hour ago. I see nothing new, nor do I see anything running allot better. I will just have to give it time I guess.

I was in the SOAK test for this update and Im having a problem since my update that Im wondering if anyone else is getting.

My sounds just stop working! Sometime during the day my sounds decide to just shut off and the phone just vibrates any notification. The problem is, the phone is still in sound ON mode. The sounds only come back on when I reboot the phone but that only lasts a couple hours again.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Has any one recieved a software update for the motorola atrix 4g?
If you have what has been update or change?

I heard the motorola atrix is getting an update starting today.

I ran the update on 2/17 and the only thing I have noticed is that it has slowed my web experience to a crawl. The app store is very slow to respond, and WiFi does not seem improve much on performance. It has also broken the link with my work email, if I am lucky I can get it to sync up once a day now.

Any one know how to roll back from an update, this is one I wish I had not installed.

I updated last week and have noticed a huge decline in battery performance. I never had to charge the phone throughout the day, now I am have to charge around 6pm just to make it through the evening.... So far, this update has sucked.

That's interesting, I have noticed a slight improvement in battery life after the upgrade. That is probably about the only change for me.

I received a message for the new update. I plugged in my phone and updated, however, It fails to apply the update every time. Help!

Seeing a lot of issues with the update. Glad I didn't bother.

Huh. Did the update and it now doesnt correct my words when I am typing anymore. Before if I was 1 letter off I could just hit space bar and it would correct it. Not anymore. It still lists the words close to it and i can tap on them, but it wont just fix it.

Annoying. It doesnt even capitalize i when you're using it alone even anymore. Blah.

Upgraded last week, no issues here.

Did you go into the keyboard settings and verify that those options are chosen?

I finally got the update a few days ago. And i have no issues and i feel like the phone last longer charged. So far no random reboots even when i was doing tons of things at once.

 

[MadCat1118]

It feels like the phone is running better most of the time... though this may be subjective. Only issue I've noticed is occasionally the touch screen stops working or acts wonky, but I was having issues like this before.

Update:

I added a "juice defender" style profile with tasker and my battery is lasting MUCH LONGER. I assume that some app was constantly churning data and killing my battery, just haven't found which one yet. I still find it odd that this only started happening after the update.

Could I get the update if I have an unlocked AT&T phone running on Straight Talk?

Applied the update last week to my stock Atrix. Nothing in the UI seems to have changed. No notifiable problems or issues, other than having to to reconnect BlueTooth in my car, which one tap solved. Also, I used the laptop dock a little this weekend. FireFox wanted to add several language add-ons. The webtop might be more stable than before, and it certainly needed to be.
