Has anyone asked Bell Canada about Atrix Updates? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone contacted Bell in Canada and asked for a status on updates to the Atrix??
I think we need to pressure Bell a little more

I agree with you there. I'd love to try a new rom but I'm scared.

A software update is now available for the Bell version of the Motorola Atrix!
- To download the update manually:
Go to: Menu > Settings > About Phone > Software Update
- I'm not sure what the size of the update file is, but I would suggest downloading it over WiFi as opposed to the Bell network so you don't exceed your data allowance and incur extra charges.
- Ensure that your phone is at least 50% charged before attempting the update. Idealy, charge it beyond 50% to be safe.
-- The updated version is v37.23 and brings Android Froyo up to version 2.2.2, and contains numerous updates:
Upload Data Speed
Increased upload speed at which data can travel on the network.
Data and Voice Connection
Improvements to prevent interruptions to data and voice connection.
Screen
Improvements to prevent screen from freezing.
Skype
Improvements to call audio function so it is easier for the person you called to hear you. Please note this application is not pre-loaded on phone, but is available for download from Android Market.
Wi-Fi
Increased functionality by enabling Yahoo Email to be sent over a Wi-Fi connection.
Display
Improved International Roaming Warning Message by simplifying user notification so that it only appears on the screen when you move to a new network.
Happening Widget
Improved Happenings Widget to ensure that you receive the latest updates across the social networks you are connected to such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter.
Calling
Improvements were made to incoming and outgoing call functionality to ensure a more seamless experience
Expanded Language Support for Webtop

[Q] IMAP / POP3 mail issues with Eris on MetroPCS?

Hey Guys, I'm stumped on this issue and could use your help.
I have a rooted Eris on MetroPCS and it's all working with the exception of Email. I've tried the default email program as well as K-9 with the same results while trying to add an IMAP or POP3 account. I either receive a message that the incoming server can not be reached or my outgoing smtp server returned "null" (this of course is not an issue when on WiFi).
I've tried all that I know to do, clean wipes of the phone, new ROMs, different u2nl/autoloader files (v3 and v3.5) to no avail.
Anyone else have this issue? How can I resolve it?
Thanks for your time!
----------- Details -----------------
What Works:
• Web
• MMS
• Gmail
• Text
• Phone
• Maps
What doesn’t:
• Email – regular POP/IMAP accounts don’t work unless I’m on WiFi
• Downloading from the market – can only do so when on WiFi due to Meto's network here in SoCal (no SSL over 1X network)
• 3G – N/A here in SoCal
I’ve tried the following ROMs
• xtrSENSE 4.2.1
• KaosFroyo 35-1
• Eris Official 21
Im in the same boat any help out there would be nice.
Update....
So upon rebooting the phone K-9 CAN upload/download POP mail, for approximately 30 seconds. After that it can no longer download or send mail.
This failure to send/receive happens directly after my autostart alert pops up to tell me that autostart.sh had been granted SU permission... I thought that the autostart.sh script changed the routing tables to so I could reach the super-web, not prevent my access to email servers... anyone run into this?
Thanks!
Maybe it's something on Metro? Maybe they have a firewall or some kind of traffic filtering?

Gear S firmware updates (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint)

The Gear S in the United States runs on different firmware based on your mobile provider. I'd like to start a thread to see if we can understand why the firmware updates appear to include different features.
Sprint users received a firmware update in Feb 2015: R750PVPU1AOA7
Description of Enhancements/Fixes
Preloaded Stopwatch and Timer
New icon glossary
DST timer fix for customers
Now, T-Mobile users got a firmware update to R750TUVU1AOA7 on Jan 27, 2015. This update (which ends in 1AOA7 just like the Sprint update) did NOT include the preloaded stopwatch and timer. Not a big deal since you can download and install these apps. The update was described as "This update provides call forwarding improvements and menu language updates."
Recently, AT&T users got a firmware update to R750AUCU1AOB1
The update was described as:
Resolves Day Light Savings time bug where remote connection results in 1-hour difference.
Adds Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Improvements to S Voice
Improvements to wrist-up recognition when driving
Additional theme options and clock face
Looks like Verizon users got an update in early Feb that ends in 1AOA4.
Verizon: 1AOA4
T-Mobile: 1AOA7
Sprint: 1AOA7
AT&T: 1AOB1
Seems like everyone got the 2 new watch faces. Why didn't we all get the preloaded stopwatch and timer? How about the other enhancements like Wi-Fi Protected Setup or the other improvements?
Any other observations from Gear S owners?
I believe AT&T update also brings capability to reply to Gmail with some pre-canned messages.
@drjosephkim
I have the tmobile version, WPS support is there and the stopwatch + timer apps are available by samsung in the gear store for free.... just fyi
Different features on different carriers
It appears that the carrier and firmware differences affect functionality. Verizon and Sprint do not support automatic call forwarding yet. This is too bad, as this is a great feature to allow your phone calls to follow you . Also, on the current Verizon firmware, there is no icon (or any indicator anywhere on the Gear S) to show you that your Gear S is remotely connected, as opposed to connected via bluetooth. On AT&T's version, there is a small cloud icon to indicate remote connection. Since this connection sometimes drops, the lack of remote connection status indicator reduces the trustworthiness of the device.
That being said, the remote connection is amazing. When you respond, you are responding through your phone (and its number) - fully, not just canned responses - to notifications, gmail, texts, etc. as if you were within bluetooth range. This feature makes it very easy to leave your phone at home without worry to run errands, etc., and get and respond to all of your messages and notifications. If call forwarding could be automatic, that would be even better.
This device is way better than I anticipated. I have been surprised at the overall mediocre to negative reviews. I assume this is mostly Samsung hate.
I have AT&T and call forwarding is automatic on it.

I believe Verizon is too but the special dial code to do the forwarding doesn't work for everyone from what I read.

Can't Receive MMS While Connected to WiFi

USA TA-1085 here, had this issue since I've had the phone. I'm on an AT&T post-paid plan and I can't send or receive MMS, whether it's a picture or a group text, while connected to WiFi. If WiFi is switched off or not connected to a network, MMS functions seamlessly. If connected to a network, Android Messages will prompt me to download, and it'll spin for awhile and then time out. I've tried other messaging apps like Textra with no results. My APN settings are the same as my previous phone (Moto G5+)
Nokia Support had me delete a lot of system app data, toggle battery saver, and nothing worked. They only indicated that a solution may be presented through an app or system update, that they report bugs to Google with a request for resolution, that updates "usually come every month" and "most likely within November I should receive it." For what it's worth, that's a similar response I got to issues with Smart Lock, and those issues have since been resolved.
Has anyone else seen a similar issue and fixed it?
I just tried this on my 7.1 and had no issues. I sent an mms from a MintMobile device to my 7.1 on AT&T and it worked with the WiFi connected. I know this doesn't really help but I'm just letting you know as another data point.
I had issues with MMS in general. I removed all the APNs, created a new one with all the proper TMobile info, and installed Textra (which I own). No issues since then.
Oddly, I wasn't aware I may have been having MMS issues but while I was checking the APN for LTE connection I messed something up and lost connection completely and reset my APN's to default. This prompted an MMS message to be immediately delivered upon reconnecting which could have been a coincidence but after seeing this post and testing sending MMS messages to myself and friends, I have no issues now on T-Mobile on Wi-Fi or off.
Saw a thread in the Nokia 7.1 forum that links this behavior to WiFi calling. Is that enabled on your phone?
