[Q][URGENT] Is the OTA out for Bell yet? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the OTA update out for Bell yet. Im going to get my atrix soon and I don't want to update because then I won't have root. Unlike the american Atrix we don't have an SBF out yet.
So is the OTA update out yet. When do you think it will arrive?
I need to find out soon so I can get the atrix before the update comes.

no posts have stated that its out. but to cut to the chase, no its not out and there isn't an ETA or any statements that it is coming for bell.
So if you are asking because you don't want to buy one that is already update, then I wouldn't worry about it.

I have experienced no major problems with my Bell Canada Atrix. No random reboots, screen or wifi issues.
Its a good reliable phone!

I had my Atrix for more than 2weeks now. Got it from Kijiji. So far no word on the OTA update.
Also have no problems with the hardware. Purchased it, unlocked it, rooted and installed Launcher Pro.
A very sexy devil of a device.

Canada? Getting updates at the same time as America?
Man, is this your first Android? I suspect we'll be getting this by August. Maybe. To great fanfare.

Sorry to bring this back up but a couple of people are saying it is out for the Bell Atrix is this true?

Bell has actualy been doing a good job of getting timely updates out for their bigger phones (galaxy S before the US) hopefully they keep that up with motorola, in this case however it might be tough since motorola itself has a terrible record for canada

I think we might not get an update until later. It seems we already got some of the enhancements that they were getting on their update (ie detailed battery manager and screen turning off when charging).

I haven't gotten the update either (HTC Aria). In the mean time, i guess i just have to keep using Android Sideload Wonder Machine.
Yes, I have also read about the update.
But didn't the official 2.2 update prevent rooting?
So why depend on ATT's updates?
Well I have 2.2 and really have no other option or way to get unknown sources on my phone....

I remember reading somewhere that it might be until the end of this week before all the phones get the update, but now I can't find the source of that information. I'd at least give it until the end of the month before worrying about it.

I meant I read somewhere that there was a specific date that they said the updates would be pushed out by. May 28 is sticking out in my mind right now but I don't know for sure. Or maybe I'm just confusing it with something else. :<
Just got my update for unknown sources on my aria))

Just curious, do I have to have a sim card in my Aria to get it to receive the update? I no longer am an AT&T customer, but I'd like to receive the update for development purposes..
Whenever I go to AT&T software update, "Check for updates" is grayed out and I can't press it.

Most likely. Since it is grayed out without the SIM card, then most likely you can't get the update without it.

I'm sure it will be available online somewhere shortly. If not you could probably just put a friends sim in it and do the upgrade or buy a cheap prepaid sim.
Still haven't got my update. I guess I'll have to stick with using the sideload program

Bought a replacement L9 P769blk at walmart

So I went canoeing on a lake with my phone unprotected from a ziplock bag. Lesson learned....
My intial thinking is that nothing would happen because I have never flipped a canoe before.
Water was cold, almost suffered from hypothermia and drowned from a not so sudden death.
My fiance had a life jacket on, thank bajebus. And our unborn child is A okay, my phone was not.
So I get a replacement from walmart, out 200 dollars. But I really love this model of android phone.
Now the one I bought from is pretty much a paper weight and im not sure what parts in the phone still work.
The walmart l9 P679blk came with 10g firmware, sucks because I have not found anything pertaining a potential successful root effort.
And I did not really stop to think, is it going to come with the new firmware with a stock phone.
So just to update everyone on the status of stock firmware. Yes, 10g does come with the phone now. Thanks Lg and thanks tmobile.

Are you sure you didn't just accidently allow it to update when you turned it on? I just bought one from Walmart recently too (post 10g). When I booted it up the first time it had 10e, but asked me if I wanted to upgrade it.

Thanks again cmahendra, you once again seem like a nice guy.
I understand where the other guy is coming from. I'm no expert with smartphones. Well, slightly. I am going to college for Information Technology.
But really, no lies here. I have enough problems in my personal life to be lieing to a group of people on a forum. That firmware version is what came with the phone. I did no update, nothing was pushed. Matter of fact, I first used the phone with no wifi or sim card in my phone. I did all of that to make sure what build was running.
I do appreciate your feedback though, I have no reason what so ever to be mad at you for calling me a liar. And I understand the comment you left. I to have looked that information up. I was surprised because I thought that I would be getting what I paid for via tmobile store in the late of last month. "the 27th of jan to be exact."
Touchy story, but quite off-topic.

A few words for my fellow Photoners

My contract with Sprint is going to be up soon and, sadly, I am moving on to a different device. Although my Photon was a great device the unfulfilled promises from Moto/Sprint and lack of a trouble free ROM above Gingerbread leaves me no other suitable option but to upgrade. Tie that to the fact that I have moved to an area where Sprint service barely exists and my P4G's fate is sealed.
That said, everyone here in the Photon forums will be missed. There are some very talented dev's here that I owe a great amount of Thanks to. Loki, th3bill, jokersax and so many others made it possible to unlock much of my device's potential. If only Moto would have coughed up what they promised the Photon would have truly been a formitable device for anyone to reckon with.
Anyone have suggestions on the best place to list a near mint Photon4G with an unlockable bootloader? I'm sure it could possibly be of some use to a devloper somewhere.
(Mods please don't delete, I am not trying to sell here. Just want to know the best place to list.)
I got a Photon Q used for $100. No LTE here yet, but was able to Unlock bootloader and running CM10.2

Sounds like a good deal. For me I'm going to Big Red, Sprint has no local service here (only roaming) and everyone else is either more $$ or bad service (did a lot of research). So I gave in and am getting the GS4.
The Moto X will be available soon on Verizon.

I switched to ATT for the same reasons you're talking about Verizon. I also got the S4 and I LOVE it. It has the best battery life of any phone I have ever had, bar none. I bought two extra batteries and a charger, as I always do when I get a new phone, it's been two months now, and I have yet to use them. One day I got the battery down to 17%, but otherwise, never below 30%, and I do use the phone a lot. I don't miss my Moto phones at all. Never again. Regarding selling your phone, I think they promote swappa around here. You could always use craigslist too. But if you're in a position to consider it, as I was, think about donating to one of the developers. I donated my phone and honestly hope some good has come of it.

For me, I cannot think of a phone I want LESS than this moto phone. They used to have better radios but I don't think that's true anymore. My S4 works everywhere I've needed it. No dropped calls, 4G service that's much better than Sprints service, and we had 4G LTE here in Houston. Step away from the moto addiction, you won't be sorry you did. There is GOOD life without moto, and Punit Soni doesn't need your buisness, trust me on that. That guy has deluded himself about his honesty and ethics, to the point that he doesn't even realize he talks out of both sides of his mouth.
I agree with the sentiments expressed on the development here, and the community that was built. It was the friendliest, most helpful group of people I'd ever been around bar none. I miss that a lot, but I haven't missed the photon for 5 minutes. Well, I kind of missed it while I used the Galaxy Nexus I bought off ebay for six months, that thing had horrible battery life, but otherwise was an equivalent phone. Since I've had the S4, not missed the photon for a minute.
Thanks retailguy, you're the second person that has told me good things about the GS4. Hopefully I'll get the MDK build instead of ME7 when I pick it up this week.
I'm ditching smartphones completely and moving to the Omate TrueSmart. If I'm going to loose Ubuntu for Android functionality I see no reason for me to waste my money on a smartphone.

Most likely. Motorola has built a website to unlock the bootloader. But beware, the moment you use it, your warranty will be voided.

Truthfully, I don't know which build I even have. Other than access to wireless tethering, and removing the ATT bloat, I see no reason to even root the phone. It's THAT good.

Yep, you're right. Not having Verizon, I forgot about that. Unless someone finds an exploit, the bootloader will stay locked. And considering that no one has found an exploit for the Photon, it's doubtful that anyone will find one for the X. Personally, I believe that's why Motorola never unlocked the photon bootloader, it was their unofficial "test" to see if the community could defeat their security. But, I've also been accused of being a bit paranoid too.
You must be talking about the Photon Q. I remember reading that before it was released. The Photon 4G was put out with an unlockable bootloader. That was the reason I picked one up. Mine runs CM10.2. I really like the features that Cyanogenmod puts into their ROMs. That's why I'm hoping to get the MDK build. If I do CM will be on my GS4 in a matter of hours.
If you are on Verizon or AT&T, expect every phone you buy to be locked down tighter than Fort Knox. To the people looking for the MDK build of the S4, YOU WILL NOT FIND IT. YOUR PHONE WILL BE PERMALOCKED OOB. The turnover was brutally fast, and 99.9% of all new units after the OTA were shipped with ME7 pre-installed. That's for both carriers. Unless you buy used or can verify that it wasn't updated. My friend has the AT&T one, and I keep telling him that I feel his pain haha.

Motorola pushed an update that locked the bootloader. Anyone who had 2.3.4 and accepted that update got a present of a locked bootloader that no one has been able to defeat. My understanding is if you got 2.3.5 from the factory you did not have this problem. Only those who participated in the soak test have locked bootloaders.
You must have a factory 2.3.5 phone, or one that originally had 2.3.4 and was not updated as part of the soak test.

Wow. This is surprising and disappointing, but truthfully, I haven't even thought about unlocking the bootloader on this phone. The stock rom does everything I want it to do, and since it's the most popular Samsung phone out there , it'll probably be supported longer than I care to use it. It will affect what I buy next time, the whole locked bootloader really ticks me off, but c'est la vie. I will survive. At least they didn't lock it during a soak test and take functionality away from me. I stupidly didn't investigate before I bought the phone. Won't do that again...

Could be. My understanding is if you have 2.3.4 you can unlock. If you have 2.3.5 you cannot unlock, regardless of how you got it. Root is still obtainable either way.

Finally Nougat update AT&T G5!!

Just checked and got the update available after a LONG wait and God knows how many checks.
Forgot to mention
Sorry forgot to mention it is just a shade over 1500 megabyte.
Yeah, since I'm not expecting root for us for a while, I went ahead and downlaoded it yesterday.
Exact size was 1505.68mb I believe.
Honestly kind of liked the old quick toggles better.
I'm happy we finally got the update and so far so good. I had hoped the long wait past the other US carriers meant 7.1 but I pretty much new that's all it was, hope. Miss the ability to go into settings with long press of the recents button. I'm watching the battery usage to see how it does for me as I have heard varying reports from great to horrible.
Whoo hoo, just got it too, look all 3 of us ATT G5 users, lol...

Yeah, I definitely think it does. I had read elsewhere that you have to have an active AT&T SIM card in the phone to get the update. That appears to be true. A coworker of mine is letting me use his AT&T SIM and now it's now downloading the update. I found that I had to check multiple times to get it to show. Since you can only check once per 24 hours, I manually changed the date to later in February and it worked with the AT&T SIM. It's still downloading, but it's 1.5GB so it has to be Nougat.
I'm outside the US, I tried the OTA and LG Bridge with my SIM unlocked H820. I can't really buy a new device since I don't have the money for it. I am incredible disappointed with this device and ATT. I will never buy from LG again.
Hey I have a G5 too! I'm excited to get home and Download this.
Mine started the update then said that the download failed... Now each time i try to check for a new update it tells me there are no updates available? Any suggestions to kick start the update?
LG G5 US AT&T here. Did the OTA update about 28 hrs ago now, and it went very smoothly. So far, I'm super pleased with the update. My phone feels faster and smoother all around, and while it's too early to tell for certain, it seems initially like batter life is noticeably improved.
I'm outside the US. Using an unlocked H820. I got an AT&T SIM card from a friend, tried updating and got a message saying my device is up to date (So no Nougat update yet). I did this with mobile data off while I was connected to Wifi. Don't have too much experience with this - Are there any specific things I need to take care of before trying to update or is it enough to just insert the SIM card and try updating? Thanks!
I'm happy we got "an update".
However, so far I'm skeptical of any battery life improvements. I suspect that Bluetooth drain is actually higher than before. And general standby drain may also be 2% or so higher...
How many cats have you all caught with the new "Easter egg?" Kinda lame, but funny too.
I don't have the fingerprint option now! Weird
I bought an unlocked h820 from b and h, when I chek for software updates it says that is up to date but im on marshmellow, what can I do?
****, didn't realize this would kill pdanet's wifi tethering. Wish I could go back.

T-mobile S9/S9+ MIA Update.

This is pretty ridiculous. I get pulling the update on April 14th due to the boot looping. But.... its June 1st and still nothing. Like June Security is gonna be out and were still sitting on launch software or March if ur phone didn't brick. Any guesses as to what the hell the holdup is? My theory is they discovered that everyone's phone is a software time bomb and any updates they are testing causes them to spazz out. And for anyone who's gonna say blah blah its how updates go...... I'm just seeing what some other theories are and letting others voice their opinions.

i have to say 2 months after an update that was pulled,and no new update is a pretty douchy thing on a just released top shelf phone,oh well history repeats itself,hopefully something soon for us
Couldn't agree more. Love T-Mobile's responses to questions.
"We know how important software updates are to customers. We want to make sure ur running the most up to date software." Big FAT Lie lol.

Wi-Fi calling for T-Mobile works fine on the Unlocked S9+
Some of the carrier specific stuff downloads when the SIM registers to the T-Mobile network. But you can download the rest of the apps if you want them from the Play Store.
You don't have all the bloat unless you choose to install it.

Some of the carrier specific stuff downloads when the SIM registers to the T-Mobile network. But you can download the rest of the apps if you want them from the Play Store.
You don't have all the bloat unless you choose to install it.

Any downsides? Does SamsungPay still work? That's a big one for me.
Samsung Pay works fine. I have no downsides. Though I have never used a branded T-Mobile phone since I have been on T-Mobile, so maybe I don't know what I am missing, if anything.
There isn't that much difference. I personally wouldn't do it. There unlocked version hasn't gotten any updates either and is still sitting at Feb 1 security patches.

Well that's no help then.
I'm on At&T, and any unlocked phone always disabled the carrier wifi calling and volte.

Most likely wifi calling.
Possibly VoLTE.
Any carrier specific apps.

Oh, I couldn't care less about WiFi calling but VoLTE is a must. I though that was a standard feature. Bummer...
So stupid. I contacted support and they said they had no timeline of any future updates. Canada got theirs today...
Seems that all the S8 line has been updated on tmobile with may if im not mistaken. What do you bet we get an update tomorrow for April lmao. But really this is really really strange.
My wife's s8 active got the may update tonight. This just seems back asswards that the newest is the last on the list.
