[Q] Gingerbread... - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know when we might get gingerbread?
The droid family is now getting it as OTA :S

I have a feeling motorola is waiting for the next update to release to put on this phone. rather than waste time on an incremental change.
But seeing the original android phones on at&t, this update could be a long ways away. Just my opinion.

It was said that gingerbread would come to the atrix in 2011. So anytime between now and christmas

nah, most companies basically shut down between christmas and new years, so what i said was pretty accurate.

Argh....
SIgh... Our atrix is supposed to have gingerbread.... argh....

Motorola is waiting for the new android version that support dual core phones.

... never. the phone will be obsoleted before updated. Also not unlocked. That's their business model. Give no updates and dangle new crap in front of you.

where do you people keep getting this idea? The CURRENT version on the atrix supports dual core. It's been proven. What doesn't support dual cores is most apps. The delay is not on a version that supports multicore, so stop spreading that piece of false information.

Never the less....

So cynical, cousin!
We all know that the release process goes through the carrier after the manufacturer is done with it. For all we know it could be ATT that is dragging its feet whereas Verizon is moving more quickly.
I, perhaps naively, think that Moto won't drop the ball on its flagship device.

Actually, your thinking of the Fascinate, since we all know that Verizon delays more then anyone else.
We would probably see Gingerbread first of the US carriers.

I beg to differ. I will fight you tooth and nail that T-Mobile will be the last to push the update. As many Android phones that I have been through with T-Mobile and waiting for empty promises; ummm.....yeah.

if you actually read the release info about the "promised gb update", you'd have read the part about how the US variants are on a different timeline, and if you had been here during the whole 2.1 -> 2.2 update debacle, you'd have known that all these timeline "promises" ONLY apply the the international galaxy s phones.

A lil help

Hey guys I'm due for an upgrade on October 25th and my x2 is only 3 months old....so here's my question should I just sit on the upgrade and wait to see what's to come or should I jump on the 4g bandwagon now?
X2ATRIX.4
I would wait and see what the Prime and Vigour (I think) bring to the table. Just be careful or you'll be playing the waiting game forever because there is always a new phone on the horizon. Mostly depends on how patient you are.

Yeah and I've read that the quad core phones should also have a separate 5th "low power core" that runs independent of the quad that will aid in preservation of battery for processes that don't require all that power. Sounds very interesting. Could be a huge step for better battery life.

Ha, I was contemplating saying that instead. But to stay serious, this is pretty awesome. I might hold off rooting if the date gets announced soon. I think it was perfect time to get rid of my incredible since it's not in the list.
I heard "later this year" for the Rezound on a recent Verizon twitter post.... I'm not holding my breath. And even this link says "sometime this year". That's pretty vague if you ask me.

Ah... from the thread title I thought it was just about new phones with ICS pre-installed.
Why is it up to Verizon anyway? I don't need to get windows updates from my ISP. I don't get why things have to be so different on cell phones. (Other than greed and control, which leads back to greed.)
Rezound will be the Last to get Update as shown on Verizon List . Nicely done Verizon

I know, I bet if they were to release ICS tomorrow with Sense 4.0 and people would be like "I'm sooo pissed that they didn't give it to us yesterday! I mean, you know they had it ready, why didn't they just release it?".
People just need to relax already, have some patience. Also, I really doubt Verizon had a huge executive meeting/decision for the order in which devices were listed. Plus, with the Rom options available to you for it in the last couple of days - you have you're option RIGHT NOW.

I'm glad I updated from the X2 to the Rezound. I was almost certain the X2 wouldn't get it. It wasn't a very popular phone, it has half the RAM as the Droid Incredible 2 as well I think.
The list is in chronological order, from oldest phone to newest, by manufacturer. No conspiracy against the Rezound.

I'm pretty sure the INC2 and the Thunderbolt have 768MB of RAM and the X2 has 512.
So it would seem 768 is the cutoff point, at least roughly.

ICS in Sprint e-mail

So did anyone else get the Sprint message about getting their Photon to run faster, which suggested clearing the browser cache? - Bigger question is did anyone else notice that the Photon in the picture was running either ICS or JB!? It was, complete with the new rounded click/weather widgets and five icons along the bottom of the screen. Now if they'd only distribute and release the source, it would make the devs jobs easier, having ICS/JB drivers.

Wow I read the first post and got all excited. O well time to keep waiting for ics
Well [email protected]! - I read the message and at a quick gander the very subtle differences don't stand out. Of course there's no reason the think those dip-sticks would use the picture of the wrong phone. I was all excited seeing the ICS/JB OS too.
Fingers crossed that new parent Google slaps some sense into Motorola and unlocks the boot loader and releases ICS or JB soon with source code. You know the expression about the chances being slim to none, well slim is on life support I guess.

And is there anything whatsoever in your experience that would conceivably lead you to expect them to be as early as possible rather than as late as possible?
That, of course, leaves aside the question of whether there's anything in your experience that would lead you to expect them to honor this claim in the first place.
Ah ! Moto at it again. With Photon Q LTE out with JB, it is unlikely that we will now get an update to either ICS or JB, even though Google 'promised' to keep hardware refreshed for 18 months. We will most likely be extended an olive branch of $100 credit towards another 'Moto Phone' ... really Moto ?
This is my last Moto phone and likely last Android as well. I am ready to convert to Lumia 920.

Technically the 18 months is not over yet. It has only been close to 14 months since the release of the Photon 4G so Motorola could pull something out of its hat and possibly give us a JB update in early January 2013. All these hints about offering $100 for a future Moto device for any 2011 devices that don't receive the ICS upgrade is pretty telling to me.

Followed up on your claim that any official dates have been confirmed, they haven't. Most recent information as stated by HTC is target 2nd week of April. That's not a confirmation of any specific date especially since the update is with Verizon right now to get final certification. If you have specific information from a source to say otherwise please post.
Agreeing with xlxcrossing. Everything i see shows the 2nd week of April. if you have diff info please share. otherwise here is where i got my info.
http://motoringcrunch.com/news/htc-...e-release-date-siren-starts-ringing/10012474/
If they are to meet the target launch of April this should mean that KitKat 4.4 should arrive before 14 April. Detail :

I'm sure resources could have been but at the same time Google said it was a low percentage of devices that even have that version. I'd like to say it was like 1-3% or something that low so it probably wasn't too high on the list to fix. I do think their is a patch they have out though
There's been some subtle info coming through the pipeline but week of 21st (now) is the adjusted time for target release. Hopefully some of you will get the OTA notification soon. This isn't a guarantee by any means, we all know the update process through Verizon historically has always been massively delayed at times when dealing with older devices. Its not like HTC or Verizon though to give constant updates pushing it week to week. They already did their 3 month postponement so I think its legit at this point.

Noob Question please!
Guys, a noob here. Just caught the news about KK coming over to Droid DNA. I have an unlocked version running Viper DNA 1.3.5 on Android version 4.1.1 with Sense 4.
Will I get notification of the KK update OTA since I'm in Canada and hence not running on Verizon's network and secondly, if I do the update, will I be able to run the ViperDNA as a dual boot option or is it even worthwhile to do that?
Thanks in advance folks!!!
