Q(by @于皓-Hone) : To @motorola @司軒軍 @吳海東 , ME525(Defy) has already got its 2.3, when will ME722(A953) and ME860(Atrix) get their 2.3?
A(by 吳海東): Q3.
The news comes from the Sina microblog : http://weibo.com/hotane
PS:I put my trust in 吳海東 , just await that day comes with hope
The earlier news: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055831 is "FALSE", for that lady has later declared that she just mistakes MS2 with DEFY . The fact is DEFY got its 2.3 in 5.16 , not MS2 !

God, I love my Phone I hope we will get it as well
EDIT: I mean EU

sounds like good news....well let them patch the asia pacific models with 2.2.2 first. after that i suppose i can show some optimism
nevertheless, q3 is late. VERY late, considering the Desire Z will be updated in june, and the galaxy s by the months end!! that would be close to a year since the phone has been released. i dun suppose we'll see many updates for this phone before the phone turns 18 months

Not that I don't put any trust in your 吳海東 ...
I just don't have any trust in an 2.3 upgrade for de EU Milestone 2...

PS: No expectation no disappointment ,may be it`s a smart way.

That's a wonderful news. All of us are waiting for 2.3.

the china mobile version of the MS2 is a different model - doesn't it use like a supermodded MIUI? Don't trust Motorola - liars

It seems like the chinese moto guys like to talk a little bit more than the european guys....maybe u could ask them for details about the unlockable-bootloader-update scheduled for "late" 2011...

Q3 is way too late considering the competition the HTC Dezire Z. But then again, something is better than nothing.
I hope (against hope) that it will also have something like an unlockable bootloader.

China version just don`t have GMS services and add some useful app, others are the same with EU/DE/etc. version !
But we can getback GMS easily by a special update.zip.

I would point out that June is the end of Q2, so if the reports are right, then the update would likely come within 1-3 months of the HTC update.
What I'm hoping is that the EU release will precede the Chinese release, as I believe the 2.2.2 update has done, which means that it could even be Q2 (or more realistically early Q3).
If only Motorola would actually give us a rough schedule, then we wouldn't be speculating. However, you can see it from their point of view - if they said it was coming in September, then they would have loads of people moaning that they have to wait 4 months for the update, and if they ended up delaying for some reason, then they would get even more stick.
Cheers,
Steve.

Any chance of this update unlock the bootloader?

Yep, same here, ME722 bought in China, added GMS through that update.zip and can access Google Market (have to use WIFI for downloads though).

If 2.3 do release in China first, can you please start a post here teaching us how to do that? thanks

I know this is a modding forum but the information behind a statement isn't called the source code. It's called the source of information
I had a bit of a glitch with my SGS, which was running 2.2.1 official via kies (uk, unbranded release) As i had warranty, i sent it off to be checked, and had been gone for a few weeks now. When 2.3.3 was released and then pulled from kies, i had only just sent my phone away. Just got it back 10 mins ago, and what do you know........i now have 2.3.3.
kinda interesting since samsung pulled it from official sources before warranty even got hold of my phone. So i wonder how they are getting hold of 2.3.3 (unless they paid ol samfirmwares.com a visit) No issues so far though, going great

That's the version i managed to update to using kies before the update was pulled.
Some service centred had the 2.3.3 released before kies thats how XDA got the very first copy .

this is what i thought may have been the case. But if there was a genuine problem with 2.3.3, hence it getting pulled, i wonder why places kept it. In saying that, there are people out there that havent experienced a problem at all running 2.3.3. Just thought id share anyway
So if they pulled it then it could be some time before we see the update on kies.
I wish they would ever get a move on.
I don't want to root my phone.

Kies will get update after Samsung pass it to the phone providers and they customize as they want .
Rumours that no 2.3 update are more than likely untrue .

Sorry, but why would Samsung include TW4 in SGS when they have just released SGS2?
Anyway, if you want TW4, there are plenty of custom roms that have it.
Because they wont sell more sgs2's then sgs's, thats why..
Well, all should have realized by now that the stated "camera bug" can hardly be the reason that SGS users still have to wait for the update, it's been too long now. They simply realized that there are a lot bigger problems with it and listening to my friends that managed to get the 2.3.3 over KIES there is much room to doubt Samsungs official explanation.
If you're lucky they go for 2.3.4 (which you can only hope for because 2.3.3 has a nasty SSL library regression), but considering they released the S2 this week I don't think they care too much about the S1 for that to happen... only time will tell.

Seriously?
End of November sounds like their older promises...
I'm guessing Q1 of 2012 (so that carriers sell new phones for Christmas with 2.3) if ever, don't forget that in older posts they said (Huawei India) September - October or something like that.
And also, OTA updates? They even hide their other ROMS from their site and plan to release 2.3 so openly ? No PMs for filehosting links ? It must be some joke.
As I understand this means that our carriers have to take the update privately from Huawei as soon as it is ready, fill it with the usual useless apps and localization and submit it to the OTA Servers... and they have 1,5 month to do that so that Huawei can keep this promise. I'm not holding my breath
We'll see if its released by then. Everyone tend to postpone :<
if they'll fix microphone issue, enough for me.

Well...he didn't tell what year that November will be, 2025 probably, but only if it's snowing in Sahara and NASA finds life on Mars (Ha!) We're lucky to have skillful and motivated devs here @ xda who keep our X5's up to date when Huawei doesn't. Thank You!

CM7 is working well for me. I use Swedish but Finnish is available and working. Only a few menus are in English. Writing is easy aswell, I have English, Swedish and Finnish dictionaries in use.
I used to have Oxygen but at some stage they removed the "national roaming" alternative. With saunalahti you need this, if you don't want roaming on, because it thinks that you are roaming to Elisa. CM7 have this, Miui didn't have it last time I tried.
Void is also very stable and works with saunalahti if froyo is enough.

It's said that ICS can also use 2.6.35 kernal which GB normally uses. Can we expect that ICS can be ported easily once we have GB source/drivers for U8800? if in that case, ICS wont be far away from us either.

I'm still mad about the face unlock thing. No James Bond retinal scan? Lame.
Good news though. It's about time SE got with it.
Awesome, Really gives me confidence that SE is not that bad after all, Never been a fan of using another ROM, As I love Sony Ericsson's, I will use another ROM once the Xperia Play is no longer updated or supported by SE which I hope never happens while I use an Xperia Play as my primary device.
I always had confidence in SE. <3 this company and their phone. Now, if only we could get it as stock ICS and not with their UXL overlay. Maybe with ICS it'll be much better looking, have to wait and see

Your timing error is what made the article irrelevant though. Your outdated article greatly contradicts the new one that SE made ... making people believe that there is no such ICS update when really SE confirmed the updates after the launch of ICS source codes.
It's like positing an article about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus telling people it's a 8mp camera and not 5mp but using a 2 month old article as reference....

KitKat Tracking

I've been finding a bunch of posts regarding when the Razr HD will be getting KitKat. We have been waiting a while, so I figured I'd make a tracking thread so everyone can know when KitKat is finally released.
The last piece of information we have really gotten came from David Schuster, senior director at Motorola Mobility in Illinois.
This post alone sparked a great many Android articles... Needlessly so, IMO
One G+ post fed:
Android Central
Into Mobile
Softpedia
Phone Arena
DroidLife
Seems I'm not the only one starving for some news.
me too I'd like to know when we'll receive kitkat...a question, i'm from Italy but i purchased my razr hd in Uk.
My version is 98.21.22003.xt925.CEE-Retail.en.EU..Will I receive the upgrade as well or the release is only for Verizon users?
David Schuster did say a couple of days ago that the "M and HD are in Verizon labs currently". And that "Labs" can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks.
It's in the same Google+ post linked in the OP. It's toward the bottom of the comments.

David Schuster did say a couple of days ago that the "M and HD are in Verizon labs currently". And that "Labs" can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks.
It's in the same Google+ post linked in the OP. It's toward the bottom of the comments.

It still isn't clear weather a completed version is in their labs for testing and approval OR Moto's version was submitted to them for them to add bloat, test, fix, test, add more bloat, test, etc. I think once Verizon puts out a soak with their junk on it, then we may be getting truly close.
* This is only my interpretation on how this process is working and may be wrong.

Typically "labs" is the end of the line, unless there's a problem with the Software / Hardware on Verizon's Network.
Definitely coming this month.

Update announcemement?
MAYBE this is NOT related, but Motorola have scheduled an event on 13th may, the update may be announced then...
It's just a guess.

Sounds more hardware than software related. I doubt they'd hold an event (or waste time at one) to announce a software update for phones released back in '12. They didn't for the newer, more relevant phones, and with no other company calling an event to announce "we've released KK for you on XYZ phone" it would come off as very pompous.
...am curious to see what their next model phone is though...
So possibly the firmware will be released before the new phone comes out?

Everything is speculative with no real concrete evidence to back anything up. We know that it's likely to come out this month, but even that is not 100% certain.

I was thinking that they could announce the update with their new phone. With a big MAYBE. :fingers-crossed:
