It's July already...where is Gingebread?! - Atrix 4G General

Motorola are a bunch of SOB. They do this with EVERY major phone they release and it REALLY pisses me off Is it so hard to say something and then commit to it? Specially when Gingerbread has already been released for other Motorola models with a very similar configuration to the Atrix. It's very very frustrating having a phone like the Atrix that doesn't live to it's full potential due to poor build implementation. Is Motorola that stupid not to realize that once gingerbread hits the Atrix it will sell more and people will be happier with their product?!

You think motorola don't want to update all phones first of all the other companies?
The more fastest updates, the more developers/money they need..
Why they unlocked the bootloader?
To get more people to atrix...
And why before a couple of weeks..
To earn some time, and keep us busy and satisfied, to forget the upcoming update!!
Anyway.. Can't wait too for the update..

waiting too
I'm starting to to get anxious about the about update too. My wife's 7in Galaxy Tab (Sprint model) is getting Gingerbread this week, why not my Atrix.

As a person that owned 3 Motorola android phones - their update policies really piss me off.
They took forever to bring Froyo to Milestone, and still their final release contained a crappy kernel with error.
Now they are taking forever with GB for D2G and Atrix... If they don't keep their promise with unlocked bootloaders, this surely will be my last Motorola phone.

If my memory serves me right it was supposed to be the 11th. July when we got the update, so I for one will wait till at least the 12th. before I start moaning.

FYI, It's only July 7th, and a few days ago was a weekend and holiday. We are technically only 3 business days into July. Be patient.

You can always flash the leaked 2.3.4 build if you really can't bear to wait for the update.

to be honest, i can stand to wait a little longer so long as gingerbread is bug free.
the only thing i really want is a smoother browser. my last phone was a nokia n900, had that thing overclocked to 1.2ghz. whilst flash videos werent that great since it didnt really support flash 10 (no gpu accel), its browser was much faster and smoother.
sure you can argue that the atrix can render more pixels on the screen at any given time, but whats the point if its not smooth.
i also want to see if motorola have optimised motoblur. if its smoother, then i'll leave it as is. if not, im flashing this thing.

You bought the phone with Froyo, knowing it had Froyo, knowing it did not have GB, and Motorola has not said anything about a July release of GB. There has been mention in the past week or so on the Motorola boards of an upcoming soak test, that is all. Anything you read on other sites about release in July or any other time is pure speculation.
It doesn't matter which other devices have GB, the Atrix doesn't. Do you realise how much time it takes to develop, test, test, test these operating systems? Companies are not like the devs on the board here. They have procedures to follow, both internal and external. They quality test before releasing anything, hardware or software, then test some more.
I am sure Motorola does not want to release a buggy GB and are trying their best to give us a release which works as well as possible, so chill out and get off your high horse. Rome wasn't built in a day, and the world won't end if we have to wait a wee bit longer for GB on the Atrix.

Lol calm down its still pretty early. They never stated exactly when in july. Hopefully soon tho!

Motorola has NEVER given any release date, month, etc.
Briefmobile said July. That is all.

If it dont come im going to trade my atrix for a mytouch4g slide, cant stay with this anymore... i had to develop things i wanted to my dext, dont want to suffer all over again with the atrix...

CaelanT, they said "in july we're releasing gb to the public" briefmode just posted this, but i heard of the CEO himself in a expo i went.

I would say since there is no official word from Motorola other than by the end of the year I would say come Jan 1st 2012 if it's not out then complain. I am looking forward to the release of GB just as much as the next Atrix owner but come on people learn a little patience. As the saying goes "Good things come to those who wait."

This is only for unlocked bootloaders (AT&T phones), in case you haven't noticed we're from Brazil and we still have locked phones (along with all other countries/operators).
PS: I'm really sick of people who thinks Atrix is only sold on USA/AT&T or that we are a minority

I'll believe it when I see it. Samsung has a HORRIBLE track record when it comes to updates.
HTC and Motorola have already upgraded all of their high end android devices (the Droid Incredible just got the update today). Samsung already has 2.2 running on their 7" tablet, so it is pretty fair to criticize them for being slower than their American and Chinese counterparts.
I think there's a fair chance that T-mobile will release the G2 (Sept. 29, 2010) before the Vibrant gets 2.2 update.
Samsung is most likely waiting for all of the Galaxy S phones to be released before pushing froyo. With the Epic coming this weekend and the Fascinate probably coming 9/9, froyo isn't far away. Mid September, about a week after the Fascinate release is my guess.

They've also been out longer... I'm also pretty sure 2.2 is already done for the U.S. Just working out extra kinks in it so naturally 2.2 on the tab that'll be released later on would have 2.2. It had to derive from somewhere. Just sit tight everyone it'll be here soon. If Samsung delivers on time then we would have the shortest wait for a 2.2 update out of all the Androids. I'm definitely okay with that.
I'm more interested in a fix ASAP for the calendar bugs (events are deleted when they're edited, etc.) which I've mentioned on another thread. Hope that comes along with the Froyo update. (Or, heck, just give us the standard Android calendar app -- the Samsung one looks nice, but I can't touch events on it due to these bugs.)
i hope we get it in september, but not holding my breath. samsung and tmobile (usa) have not 100% committed to giving us 2.2 in september... so no, its not confirmed

Galaxy S to get 2.3 start of Q2?

http://phandroid.com/2011/01/22/rum...axy-tab-to-get-gingerbread-beginning-of-q211/
It's a rumor I'd like to believe. The overseas Galaxy S has had 2.2 for a while now, and it's believable that after so many months, they might get 2.3. This works great for us because...
1- we might get it
2- if we don't, someone could use the i9000 code to make a copy for the Vibrant.
With this whole froyo mess, I see Samsung getting us 2.3 eventually just to appease us and bring the best out of our hardware (optimization for Hummingbird). If they can pull 2.3 for us sometime by the end of Q2/start of Q3- It would redeem them for the froyo debacle.
Honeycomb/Ice Cream, whichever, I just don't see us getting officially.
Edit: nm

SamFirmwares, the originator of this rumor, is a site that has gotten us a lot of Froyo leaked roms. I don't think they would say this unless they know theres a GB rom out there that they are trying to get their hands on.
After flashing from stock 2.1 to Axura 2.2.7.1 I am enjoying a 2.2 ROM. I cannot wait until 2.3 gets out and the devs here play with it. The updates in it look promising, and the power management should definitely push the stellar battery life from these awesome ROMs.
Later than i9000
If history is any indication, we'll get Gingerbread when Honey Comb has been out for at least 3 weeks and thousands of hate tweets have been made.
I wouldn't hold my breath on it.
At this point, I'm just waiting for a new good phone to be released on t-mobile so I can drop my vibrant asap! my frustration has less to do with samsung updates and more to do with the failing GPS (even the latest version of Nero does nothing to alleviate my issues), lack of LED notification, and cheap plastic-feeling build quality

QS 755 on stock official Froyo. 2.1 OCLF2.0 QS 2000+....... hmmm?
That would.be quite incredible since the Vibrant 4G is set to launch next month with Froyo. Their new flagship phone launches with Froyo and then the older, nearly identical version gets Gingerbread? I don't see it. T-Mo has every incentive to keep the original Vibrant a step behind so they can sell more new phones.
Let's start now with a class action lawsuit and twitter campaign for honeycomb

Are you on drugs?
I doubt we will ever see Android 2.3 on the original Vibrant. 1 year is an eternity in the world of Android smart-phones. There is so much competition and the pace is so fast that manufacturers will opt to put their best & brightest efforts into optimizing code for upcoming devices.
For example, the Motorola Atrix probably has a lot of manufacturers trying to figure out how they can make their devices that come after it stand out.
The only thing the Vibrant has going for it is that it shares most of its innards with 2 other phones.

To the person who posted scores, Quadrant sucks, no use to test for real life performance. And the vibrant is not really that cheap feeling, would you rather have a few scratches on the backplate or a dent that cannot be replaced?
But sure, anything above 2.2 will probably be mostly theme overhauls for android, maybe a few optimizations for the hummingbird in 2.3 but nothing above that most likely.
for me froyo is the end of the vibrant. my only hope is the devs here who are working on it.

The way I see it is that this phone is now obsolete. We got one update, so I guess we should consider ourselves lucky. Live and learn, no more RFS phones for me.
stop all this bullcrap.
Samfirmwares is talking about the I9000 not vibrant.
http://phandroid.com/2011/01/22/rum...axy-tab-to-get-gingerbread-beginning-of-q211/
read that, then read some of the comments.
"Everyone, this is possible. Keep in mind, they could be talking about Galaxy S, not the American Variants, or they could be. Two possible scenario:
One: They are talking about the European Galaxy S(has had 2.2 for a while, just got 2.2.1)
Two: It could mean 2.3 could finally be built and ready for carriers to add their bloat and send off as OTA(or Kies*shivers*)Remember, Froyo for the Galaxy S in the states has been ready for months now, it has been the carriers, not Samsung."
I still think the US Galaxy S phones will get at least the update to Gingerbread, at least sometime in the first half of the year. I think that'll be the last update the phones get though.

It's ridiculous that I should be appeased by a 2.3 release 3-6 months after it's been released by Google. I want a new release on the same day that Google releases a new version and I want it from Google. Manufacturers can tweak and release it whenever they want to. At this point, I don't care. But Google needs to fix this. Make every manufacturer provide all the device drivers for all phones sold in the past 2 years available for every release and we should be able to get the latest Google experience for our phones.
The fact that 2.3 is not yet available for Nexus One shows that Google needs to spend some time making this their top priority.
I think a long as the carriers push two year contracts they should support the phone that long.

What daveop said. As of now, I would totally be willing to go through switch carriers after this. This better be a worthwhile update (or updates, which ever is faster).
I wonder if it'll still be a Motoblur based update...
It doesn't make sense for motorola to remove blur. They actually advertised the "feature". If they remove it, lots of people will complain (not us, but we are on a different demographic)
So, don't get your hopes up, expect blur. And don't expect 2.4 either, we already know they are working on 2.3. 2.4 doesn't even have a release date yet people.

Realistically speaking if you want 2.4 on a phone, you will have to get one of the newest phones coming out - Galaxy S 2 etc. This phone wont see that until next summer at earliest.

Knowing moto, they're gonna wait as long as possible, so December 31st at 11:59pm.
However, if you live in Canada (like me), they'll give us a later date, then lie about it.
So for us it would be early q1 of 2012, but then at early q1 of 2012, the update still isn't given (this is what's happening with the milestone right now, it was suppose to get 2.2 at early q1 of 2011, and they still didn't give us 2.2, and early q1 is over already).

Listen I get that you are upset, but there's no way that any current Android phone is gonna have an entire lifecycle without at least one major update.
Don't get me wrong, its BS that you had to wait even this long for GB, but for what it's worth I chose to stay on Froyo for the longer stock battery life.

Makes no difference to me, I've rooted & unlocked the boot loader(another stupid motorola trait) and have Gb on my Atrix.
Still won't be buying another motokak - just waiting for the Galaxy nexus to be delivered & I can consign the Atrix to the dustbin where it belongs.
Apparently it should come to all UK users (t-mobile, unlocked etc)

hopefully will be able to rip the radio from the update, as im sure there will be a new one, and for people who have unlocked their bootloader it might not be safe to do the OTA, like was the case for AT&T users.

Droid RAZR to get Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich on June 12

It’s always a pleasure to be the bearer of good news, especially when it comes to sharing with people what we know about an impending arrival of Ice Cream Sandwich on their Android devices. But before we do, we just want to make sure you know that this hasn’t been fully confirmed yet by Verizon. With that in mind, owners of Motorola Droid RAZR may want to mark down June 12 on their calendar, as that’s the date that Verizon apparently will roll out the ICS update for the two Droids.
According to internal sources quoted by CNET, the OTA update to Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich for both Droid RAZR and RAZR Maxx will be pushed out on June 12. While there were plans to bring it out earlier, there was an issue with the server that was supposed to deliver the update — hopefully that’s been dealt with now.
The June 12 date certainly still falls in line with what Motorola has written on its website, where the ICS upgrade roll out for Droid RAZR and RAZR Maxx is expected to start in Q2 2012. In this case, the end of the second quarter more like. As always, we’ll let you know once we have more details. Feel free to share with our readers if you have some information or heard otherwise about the ICS update for the Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR Maxx.

What's up with all these threads on ICS for non-Atrix phones?
Motorola said Q2 for the Droid RAZR. Q2 is almost at an end. If that's any indication of future performance, ICS for the Atrix may not come until closer to Q4.
Maybe this is great new for us. That update might have something usefull for our devs. Of course, not drivers, but maybe our very first Blur ICS Rom. plus Webtop 3.0 (Tablet ICS). Idk, maybe im too positive Lol.
I wouldn't be surprised if Motorola decides to push it back in late Q4.

I still think late Q3/early Q4. IMO the carriers will be more to blame getting their bloat on there. Then again all it really takes is one carrier worldwide, and CM9 will truly be in full effect.
I could care less about stock anyway. Once CM pulls out what it needs, I'll be wiping my phone for some CM9 goodness...

The European Atrix is not very likely going to get ICS - back in February they first marked it as coming in Q3 and then set it back to Evaluation & Planning.
So I wouldn´t be suprised if they cancel the Update for North America. See, the Atrix is 1.5 years old and although it still can be regarded as "High End", there are other, newer phones from Motorola in the pipeline. Call me glass-half-empty, I´m just realistic. Motorola, like any other company, has to make profit and shelling out money for an update for an outdated device (yes, it can be considered as such since there is already an Atrix 2) is just a service.
I still hope to see my Atrix rocking fully functional ICS, but I wouldn´t be suprised if it never happened.
Just my 2 cents

I hear what your saying, but I think the update is more of a public relations move. Our phone was only 8 months old when ics came out. There was lots of negative feedback towards moto for the response time about ics. If they dropped support on a flagship phone they would lose customers indefinitely.

This makes little sense.
If a customer sees that their device is "old" compared to others, and realizes that the issue is lack of support from Moto, the response will be to buy another brand of phone.
On the scale of things, it is not a big effort for Moto to release for other devices based on the same platform. I would imagine the true engineering effort is almost nothing, and the bottleneck is just getting it thorugh QA.
I would be very surprised to not see an AtrixG4 released in August.

They lost me already
I love my Atrix, and don't see any other device, for now, to replace to. However, I really doubt if I will buy another Moto device, with the only excepsion of a Moto-made Nexus. Moto's policy of locking the bootloaders, along with a very questionable updating history probably burned Moto's future for me, which is quite a shame since I really love their building quality and simple-and-non-cloned designs.
