+1 on that comment. Our developers have put a lot of time to give us what verizon is just pushing to us. My wife downloaded the update and after comparing, I still love my 2.9.2 better. She gets jealous cause I still have a better theme and several other options.
Anyone know if there's any reason to get the OTA update if we were already on the leaked release?

did the calendar colors actually change. i cant place what is different. its a trivial change but i was curious. also hoping they would jazz it up more
the best calendar change is that the google calendar is set to default instead of the local phone one.
nice 7 and 17 are what I was looking forward to getting fixed.
I've registered my phone with HTCSense.com, but when I login to www.htcsense.com I get the message that the site cannot locate my phone. Could this be anything to do with the fact that I run Launcher Pro as my shell instead of the standard Sense shell?
I also don't get a Dashboard option when I login to htcsense.com - only the following options:
- Forward calls/messages
- Make phone ring loud
- Secure my device
Has anyone else had this problem?
Im afraid i don't know why it is but it is not your launcher.
Did you flash a different Rom because that would do it or in the settings there is a tickbox about locating it. Hope this helps.

htcsence.com is notably flakey -- though it has worked for me the last few times I've tried it. I think it's very much a "work in progress"
I just received this reply from HTC support:
"We are aware of this issue that you reported. It is being investigated as a priority.
Over the past few months HTC has been undertaking an upgrade to HTCSense.com in order to enhance the web experience for our customers, extend service availability and increase service quality and up time. Features of Footprints, People, Messages and HTC Hub are turned off for performance tuning at the same time. Currently, new registered accounts could only see these main features: find my phone, call and message forwarding and lock and erase my phone. Over the next few months as we complete the upgrade, more features will be added into accounts. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to make the HTCSense.com experience even better."

Hi all,
Unfortunately I can't give more information than this simply because I don't have it. But my Bell rep has confirmed that there will be an Atrix update in mid May.
She did not divulge what the update will consist of, but I have some problems with email (SMTP AUTH and IMAP) and she insinuated that the update should take care of those problems.
Wish I had more information from you guys.

Give me gingerbread and then I'll leave you alone, Bell.
I Was told by a rep That a future update Would be released To resolve the issue that the mail.1xbell.ca outgoing server does not work on the Atrix. I was told that motorola had forgotten to include that and some other functionality. From my conversation it didn't seem likely that gingerbread would be part of the next update

Anybody worried about this new one?
http://arstechnica.com/security/201...s-can-be-hijacked-by-malicious-text-messages/
That is a pretty worrisome bug. Not just it's a security issue, but also probably there will be an OTA update soon, which might ruin all the hard work people have done recently to get root!
I wonder why there doesn't seem to be an update for Hangouts to fix this? Is that not where the actual bug is?
I was just surprised there are not more people talking about it.
i just read about this yesterday
From what I have read, you can avoid the problem by disabling automatic download of multimedia content. Uncheck "Auto-retrieve MMS" in settings if you are using hangouts for text messages. The verizon messaging app has a similar option. If you get an MMS message from an unfamiliar source, delete it without opening.
I heard it on npr couple days ago. Problem in using hangouts as your default sms mms is that it preproccess video sent via mms thus auto infecting. Atleast with default messaging app you have to actually open the message.
We need updated stagefright .so files we can drop in /system/lib(64)/hw
That's where the defect is. It's in the binary not in an apk.
I don't claim to know the details of this vulnerability.
I'm using the stock LG Messaging app (yellow icon). But for peace of mind, if nothing else, I set it to not auto-retrieve multimedia messages. At least if I get one from an unknown source, it would give me a way to delete the message without a risk of downloading it.
For all of Android's advantages over iOS (and I feel it's a better system, at least for what I want from a device), the fragmentation and multiple layers between a possible Google patch, and it getting to consumers (Google->manufacturers->carriers, for a lot of us) definitely adds to the challenge of fixing this quickly.
MY girlfriend bought this phone a month ago.
There were problems from the start - sometimes, but rarely, she didnt receive notifications from both IM's she is using, Viber and Whatsapp. Only when she enters the app, she sees that there are actually new messages - I checked Emotion UI settings for Battery manager and both apps are protected from the start (should work in the background). It wasnt such a big deal until today when she noticed that not a single message (7 viber and 2 whatsapp messages) didnt "go through" and only when the app is opened, she sees the message received. On top of that, problem got even bigger in the evening - in the middle of chat session, she doesnt even receive messages, until certain delay. I checked, it was not mobile data/wifi issue as everything else was working fine, one phone next to another, I send her a message and her's phone doesnt receive, while her phone is pretty much able to run a 1080p video from YT
Any solution to this .. ? she needs Viber very much as her work group from her job uses Viber extensively and she cant afford to miss new messages
tried: restarting, checking for EUI blocking apps, checked data/wifi for always ON on sleep, checked everything there is ..
pls help XDA!
Have u allowed notifications? Go to settings/apps and find whatsapp there.Tap on Notifications and Allow Notifications.
I have this same problem with others apps I tried ever everything, I think it's problem with Huawei optimizations (same says others, maybe this will be fixed in Android N).
i had a similar problem with my other apps...i just made them system apps... you need root for it, but no problems since
I Dont have any such issue.I Have tried sending Whatsapp message on my phone from another phone and it gave me notification instantly.
I'm using Viber, Telegram and whatsapp on this phone and I don't have such issues.... I'm not using any of the battery management or optimization apps by the way.

I have the same problem and still found no solution... In WhatsApp, you can see the when it goes off on your mobile - just open the desktop WhatsApp version on your PC and wait until a message saying something like "your mobile is not connected" appears.

What battery profile are you using? It looks like Smart is affected by this problem, while Performance is not. I guess it somehow breaks the GCM service used to deliver push notifications for those apps.

Guys found a solution for the problem but need somebody to test to confirm. I connect VPN with opera max or other VPN app and then i get notifications as normal with mobile data. Anybody who can try and see if it works for them too?
I've had the same issue with mine since I got it. In my case I'm not using WhatsApp but Ebay and Amazon Seller apps. So that means that the problem is the phone, not something specific to any app. I often get a backlog of notifications when I unlock it, all at once.
I've tried every bit of advice offered in this thread and elsewhere. I'm now trying the Opera Max app - it could well be a useful work-around. I suppose if something changes the way it communicates by adding a proxy then it may be enough to bypass whatever thing is causing the problem, hopefully just until Huawei get round to actually fixing this widespread problem.
Hello!
Regarding push notifications issue i have some news.
- on P9 Lite, VNS-L21, new stock with B114 firmware, whatsapp, skype, gmail - works fine on both profiles (smart and performance)
- after a few days i make update from B114 to B120, B131 and B151 firmware and that issue appear only at whatsapp (skype and gmail work fine)
- first workaround was to maintain active whatapp application when device enter in sleep, simply start application and notifications appears.
- second workaround is to revert firmware to B114 version on wich my device work fine with whatsapp.
- final workaround is in Huawei yard....
PS: if whatsapp is closed notifications appear when i open application, not when i wake up device...
My firmware is VNS-L31C432B130 which I installed manually, using the procedure on this forum. I did this to enable the second SIM, as for some stupid reason they disable this feature on UK phones, and Carphone Warehouse don't tell you about it when you order one.
It looks like it's pretty widespread though - there seem to be lots of reports on the web, so I don't think I've caused this problem.
I got a notification from the eBay App over 2 hours late this morning, after I installed Opera Max the other day. It's possible that this was an error at ebay's end though - their IT systems can be quite random sometimes anyway, so I wouldn't take this as evidence that Opera Max doesn't fix the problem! There are far too many variables in the chain to conclude anything really.
However, I've just manually updated the firmware from VNS-L31C432B130 to VNS-L31C432B151. I've checked and all my app and performance power settings are still set OK.
If my phone now starts working properly then I won't know whether Opera Max or the firmware update fixed it. If so then I'll try uninstalling Opera Max so I can report back here on it.
Update: after a few reinstall of B122, B131 and B151 firmware, notifications of whatsapp works again properly, but now i have problem of syncing yahoo mail account (sync error)....
