You're a real piece of work you know that? First your over in the Moto forums defending them like you work for them and now you're going to sit here and say I was "crying". Whatever makes you feel better.
I'm just curious but where do you guys get that HSUPA is going to be enabled in April on the Atrix? The AT&T message said that AN UPDATE would be released in April. It didn't say anything about HSUPA in the message. Motorola has already denied that the first update will have HSUPA in it, and that first update is going into testing this last week of March, so it stands to reason that this is the update that will be generally released in April.
The FCC had to redo the licensing paperwork on the Inspire 4G (was on Engadget earlier) for the enabling of HSUPA. Expect that something similar will be seen for the Atrix. Until then, don't hold your breath.

My thoughts as well. Will root affect our ability to receive this (or any) update? If not rooted, should we wait until after this update? Regardless of the update, will rooting prevent receiving them in the future?
Thanks
I wonder how easy it is to port the update to the Bell Atrix? I doubt bell will be releasing these patches even remotely after AT&T.
Maybe I should have gotten an AT&T model....
I was selected for the beta update they're doing now and Im rooted, adeo, and webtop mod none of these stopped me from receiving the OTA update but the webtop mod did stop me from installing it
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
My only concern currently is if the webtop over HDMI hack will work after any updates. I gotta assume they are going to fix that. Hopefully this update also addresses the voice quality issues as well. But maybe that is wishful thinking.

Vince, different areas have different requirements, but I know that Verizon where I live will rarely hire someone with prior cell phone experience. They want to brainwash you with their ways and methods, for the most part. Not sure about AT&T, when I interviewed with them, I was so turned off to their practices, I pretty much told them I wasn't interested right then & there. Never expected a call back, nor did I want one. Going back to Sprint this week, so my sources will be in full effect, I'll see what tidbits I can get you guys.

As ususal, Engadget gets it wrong. They can't even read a press release, and never bothered to pick up the phone and call Samsung. This announcement was datelined from London and about the UK, which is clear from its context.
See also this thread in Vibrant forum.
p.s. As recently as a few minutes ago, Samsung's Galaxy S support site for the U.S. on Twitter was saying there is not ETA for Froyo on this side of the pond at all.
Deployment for the Epic is even more complicated than the rollout for the GSM-based variants in the U.S. If the Epic gets Froyo in November, I will be most pleasantly surprised.
one way or another it seems like typical samsung taking forever to release an update
I just got word from my sprint connect to not expect froyo until mid-late december... he said it may be well into january before sprint pushes it out. let's hope he's wrong!

I hope they put the Sprint ID or whatever it is on it so I can do away with TW all together. Looked at the Samsung Transform review and was jealous that there was no TW.

I'm inclined to believe this since Rogers in Canada is saying their version of the Captivate will get Froyo in 2011. If Froyo was ready in 2010, everywhere else in the world, why would Rogers tell their customers to expect it in 2011?

What? You want to wait until 2012 to get a new OS update?
What does 2.2 offer that you can't have on 2.1? I just don't see what the big deal is anyways. Is everyone that unsatisfied with their phone that they are getting bent out of shape about 2.2? This is Sprint and Samsung we are talking about right? I fully expect it to be here in January or February. In the mean time, I will enjoy my Epic with 2.1 Which is still better than the Evo on 2.2, imho.

I heard flash sucked with 2.2 but that's just me. Granted it's nice to have and it's something the I-suck doesn't have so that's always a plus.
Phone is plenty fast for me but I don't do anything extensive on it. Even when it drops I'll probably still wait a while to see if it's even worth it. Reading the Evo forums, it sounded like it was more trouble than it was worth and broke more things than fixed.

Yeah I went to the Sprint store when I went and bought my case for my Epic and messed around with an Evo..be it a display, and they had a screen protector on it, the screened looked REALLY grainy, and it was very very slow. I'm guessing it hadn't been restarted in awhile and had every app open on it running in the background. I checked it and sure enough it was running on 2.2.

My understanding is that the Nexus S (like the Nexus One) is a stripped down, super-phone, demonstration of new technology and in this case the most notable difference would be the form factor and the NFC. I think Sammy would face more backlash from consumers for ignoring hardware customers already paid for so as to make a new product with near-identical hardware better.
I would assume to have a 2.3 powerhouse phone on all major carriers for bragging and sales purposes. Would make a ton of sense.

From the article:

Personally, I'd never heard of him but I've requested to follow him on twitter. In the end we'll just have to wait and see but it would be nice. If this update were coming soon I think there would be some RCs floating around but seeing as we have Froyo ones and a 'near-official' OTA update that went to .4 phones its hard to know if we'll skip 2.2 and go right to 2.3. I want this to happen but the evidence I have right now would seem to go against this.
I honestly though don't care about gingerbread all that much. I'm planning to have this phone for awhile. It does everything I need with ease. Big difference from when I had the Moment and from day 1 felt the need to smash it into a wall because of how slow and laggy it was. I would hope samsung realizes this isn't a phone to cut ties with because it defintely has staying power even after it's superceded by something faster on paper but probably only marginably faster in real world use.

So if you're wondering why Samsung hasn't bothered upgrading most of its smartphons to Android 2.2 Froyo yet then this could be the reason. Let's see if Samsung leapfrogs to Android Gingerbread before the holidays or not.

if we skip straight to 2.3 I will start rescuing kittens!!!!
With how good samsung did with sales from all the galaxy s phones, i wouldnt be surprised that they would do this.. that would be so sweet to have gingerbread on epic and since its on the nexus s with samehardware screen and stats, makes sense they could upgrade all variants epic will definitly be the top of the line if it got gingerbread, but also i agree with the poster above about caring less as long as i have a good running phone with 2.2 ill be set til the dual core processors come out and another top of the line phone comes out for sprint next year or 2 years,

Indeed. I spent months reading about how my Mytouch was getting Eclair only to be let down every time. I will say that if they do leapfrog 2.2 and get my device up-to-android-date then when I buy my fiancee's new phone in about a month she'll be getting a Sammy device. Otherwise, I'm not going to get her a phone that's always out-of-date.
Now if we dont receive an update b4 january first for anything this might prove that we will have gingerbread later and prove that they skipped froyo.
I mean if they dont give us froyo b4 the end of the year like they promised, they could be working on gingerbread we shall see by the end of this month.
The only thing I am not looking forward to is the possible return of these forums turning into unreadable garbage of people trolling, fighting and starting multiple threads about when or why Gingerbread is/isn't on the epic.
This thread has been nice though.

Woo! More unsubstantiated rumors.
With each failed attempt at guessing a release date, our chances of being correct on the next guess improve, right guys? Guys?
So EA17 means that it was completed on the 17th of January. So either they are clueless how to release this OTA without bricking devices or they are really testing the **** out of this one then. I hope its the latter case.
I feel like Charlie Brown going to kick the football. Surely Lucy won't pull it away again this time...
I think this one will actually be the one, theres already proof with that picture. Now Now, I know that it can be edited, but still, it seems like this date will be the one we were actually waiting for.
I just don't get it.
EA17... so it's already done.
It's not out because it's being tested.
So why is there a release date?
- If they know it's fine, it should be out already.
- If they expect it to fail, then how do they know it will be ready by a certain date?
If I had my way a lot would be different... but I don't understand how/why the final release will not be a build dated maybe a week before the actual release date, a date we will not know until it happens.

It makes perfect sense. They are going to test whatever they release for a while to make sure its polished. The rumor that AC received was probably that IF they dont find any major bugs in this version, it will be released on the 21st.
If they are so sure it's fine, they should release it now...
And if they DO find an issue, they'll disappoint everyone AGAIN.
This is nothing more than predicting the future, and they've been doing it poorly for 6mos now, why does Sprint think they'll get it right this time?
Releasing it at such-and-such date assuming all's well is what they have been doing since August.

Sprint isn't leaking the rumors. It's individuals that work for Sprint who want to give us an idea of when we might expect it (then they find some bugs)... or just douchebags that want to throw out rumors for laughs. Again, Sprint doesn't say when they are releasing updates because that makes them look worse if it's buggy or they don't follow through.

I am running 2.2, it has some issues, but works remarkably well. No FC's, and only slight screen rotation lag. So I can wait for Froyo... I am willing to wait because I want them to fix any and all bugs... Whether that be GPS, keyboard misses, screen rotation, whatever..
I am not a Sprint Lacky, have no stock in the company, but how people can get so emotionally attached to a software upgrade is beyond me. I can only imagine what people will be saying if they released a rushed buggy version.
Those of us that flashed the FroYo DK28 will still get this OTA if/when it comes out, right?
Still getting used to this phone. The Nexus One I used to have was a lot different.
I'd be happy with a new leak that's better than DK28 instead of "release dates" for froyo.

Not exactly. You will have to flash stock DI18 for the OTA to come through and install. But I recommend waiting for our dev teams to get hold of it first to tweak it.

Motorola updated their update page today: forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
Now says:
ATRIX 4G (MB860): Gingerbread (Android 2.3) rollout began in July 2011. Further plans coming soon.
It was supossed that Atrix 4G was receiving ICS for third quarter (which end this september 30).
I'm really disapointed with Motorola/Google. They says this after they promised an update on February.
"Further plans coming soon."
Still some hope. Let's keep optimism on the Atrix XDA board...
Also its status has been "refreshed"... Which means there's activity.
LOL. I just checked the page last night and it still had the "In development, rollout begins in Q3" message. Now it's as you say.
Ah well. In the long run, it's just a phone that does cool stuff. Many thanks to everyone who figured out how to decrypt the bootloader, open up the capabilities this phone has, and were willing to show the rest of us how to do it. In another year the majority of us will be on another phone anyway, it's the nature of the tech beast.
sad story..., they did change the Canada one to staying on 2.3 and the EU (had no update before) one to the same as the US one
That's a shame. I wanted the goodies ics brings with hardware acceleration and a better use of my lapdock. Hopefully they at least release drivers/kernels so the devs can make it work.

There must be some difference between staying on 2.3 and further plans.

Input error I'd bet
The title of this thread is very, very inaccurate. Come on man, Moto never said that the update was really cancelled! I don't hate Junior Members, but seriously, I'm pissed right now.
EDIT: They've only said that the Canadian Atrix isn't getting upda... wait. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-

At most, it should say that Atrix update is no longer is Q3...

You're missing the ending tag on that quote.
EDIT: It also messes it up if somebody else wants to quote you. :/

What a horrible title. The fact that a bunch of other phones say "Will remain on Gingerbread" should tell you that the update isn't cancelled yet for the USA Atrix because it says "Further plans coming soon". At this point they are obviously way behind the Q3 date they said before, but if it they weren't working on it I doubt they would tell us that plans were coming later.
Read this article. Soni says they are talking with the different teams and establishing dates they know they can hit. That article is about the Bionic which was planned for early Q3 and now they're going to get it in Q4. Like Soni said, they will be sticking to the dates they set and obviously the Atrix isn't as far along as we all hoped and they can't accurately project a date. Wait until it says all Atrix phones are staying on Gingerbread before posting something like this.

I don't get why the Canadian update was cancelled. This means that I'll never get to see stock Motoblur ICS. And ICSBlur actually seems to be good, unlike GingerBlur (not to be confused with the custom ROM).
Well.. time for some questioning.. especially after receiving this only a few days ago:
"Dear Ryan,
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola.
I do apologize but we currently do not have any notifications regarding the exact release date of the official Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the Motorola ATRIX 4G. It is scheduled to roll out as an over the air upgrade this third quarter of 2012. You will receive a notification on your device once the upgrade is already available for download. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience."
This next response oughta be interesting.
No custom!

Here's a tip: Adding mouths to your emotes doesn't make them mean more. :silly:
There's already a Atrix ICS thread, please use this one for this topic.
