Software Update Available

Did the OTA update to 1.1.31 and everytime I reboot my phone (even pulled the battery), the Home app always does a force close. :mad:

Anyone run into this problem?

EDIT: Figured out that the Messages Widget was causing the issue...need to find an update

EDIT II: I just deleted the widget from the desktop and then readded it after a reboot and all is fine now!

Did the update yesterday and definitely am getting better battery life after changing my power options. The phone seems a bit more laggy than it was before, though. I have to admit that I've really cranked back my screen brightness, though, as well, to 20%, for most purposes. It does look better brighter, but it also makes a big difference in battery life. Now if I want to, I bet I could go a couple days - if I didn't use it a lot, that is. As far as the screen dead spots, it may be better, but I can't really tell. I was having sensitivity issues in some apps, and they don't seem as bad now. Time will tell for sure.

@Kray1 - Apparently "Performance Mode" will leave the Cliq like you had it before, ALL enabled (data & voice, default screen brightness)

"Smart Mode" will shutdown the data side when you're not using it for 15min (or whatever you set it up for, it gives you more options) - voice will work, screen dims <---this is what I'm using

"Battery Saver Mode" will manage data connection for you and bring screen brightness to an even lower level (not much options here) - voice will work as normal

When you wake up your phone, data connections get restored and updates will download.

As far as MotoBlur remote wipe and locate, watch section 6 on secure in the flash video. You need to setup a MotoBlur account (free) to perform the functions. (Motorola - Simulator)

Have Fun,

I did the update and now t-mobile is sending me another phone. When my phone is locked and i receive a call, the slider DOESN'T work for me to answer it. Also, i had 4 dropped calls in ONE day. I also have a LOT of forceclose issues now. SOO....in a few days i will ANOTHER Cliq (that JUST came out) and i ws also told to go get another sim card even though Ive only had it for 3 weeks. I like this phone, coming off a blackberry made it hard to get used to. I'm hoping I won't have anymore problems. Now, i guess I have to re-download all my apps. :(
