CyanogenMod 7 available for Motorola Atrix 4G
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
Anyone who loves their Motorola Atrix 4G but could do without Moto's custom Android skin, relief may be coming: nightly builds of CyanogenMod 7 have started rolling out for the phone. Despite the fact it isn't yet marked as "stable," Android Community reports that it runs pretty well, with WebTop functionality and the biometric unlocking sensor being the only main missing features. For many, that may be a small price to pay to run a clean version of Android, though the less daring among us might be better served waiting for a truly stable version to roll out before taking the plunge. At least Motorola and AT&T were kind enough to unlock the Atrix's bootloader when the Gingerbread software up...

UK Deal: Orange offers Motorola Atrix for 99 GBP on a 10 GBP/month plan
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
The Motorola Atrix is no longer a cool device everyone wants, though it’s still pretty solid smartphone with a 1GHz dual-core processor, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, 4-inch qHD screen, 5-megapixel camera and so on. Orange UK is running a great deal, offering Moto’s baby for 99 GBP on a two-year 10 GBP per month contract. In other words, that’s 340 GBP for the life of the contract, making for an awesome purchase.
Of course you shouldn’t expect wonders with such a plan — it comes with only 30 minutes of talk time and unlimited texts. There’s also one additional caveat – Atrix ships with Android 2.2 Froyo and you’ll have to hack your way to Gingerbread if you want the latest features, or w...

Motrola forced to pull ATRIX ads that claim most powerful smartphone in UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
It looks like Motorola will end up having to rework its advertising plans for the Motorola ATRIX smartphone in the UK, as a court has ruled that it can no longer claim it as the "most powerful" smartphone available. Last month, UK consumers filed a complaint against the tagline, since the Samsung Galaxy S II sports a 1.2GHz processor, compared to the ATRIX's 1GHz chip.
This week, the UK Advertising Standards Authority said that Motorola would have to pull the offending ad, despite Motorola's protests. Motorola argued that "powerful" referred to the ATRIX's ability to run multiple devices, such as its Lapdock and HD dock, and not the processor speed specifically. The ASA disagreed though, si...

Euro Motorola ATRIX owners have to wait until Q4 for Gingerbread
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
While owners of the Motorola ATRIX 4G for AT&T in the U.S. have been basking in Gingerbread glory since last month, it looks like their European counterparts will have to wait quite a bit longer before the Christmas cookie version of Android arrives for them.
In an update on its official Facebook page today, Motorola's European division said that it expects to "begin rolling out the Android 2.3 upgrade in Europe in early Q4." More details on timing and carriers would be provided as they become available.

Motorola Atrix Upgrade Makes (Almost) Everything Better
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
The Motorola Atrix 4G made a big splash earlier this year for several reasons: it was the first dual-core Android phone to hit the market, and it transformed into a kind of laptop computer. Even if you ignored the groundbreaking laptop "Webtop" mode, the Atrix 4G was still a very powerful smartphone.

All AT&T Android Phones Released In 2011 Will Get Gingerbread

The HTC Status might be a sort-of-weird, kind-of-gimmicky (with its dedicated Facebook button and all) little piece of kit, but it’s got at least one thing going for it: it’s the only phone on AT&T running on the latest (phone-friendly) version of Android: v2.3, or “Gingerbread”. Not for long, though.
AT&T has just confirmed that all of the Android phones they released in 2011 will be getting the Gingerbread upgrade treatment.
The phones AT&T confirmed:
HTC Inspire 4G
LG Phoenix
Motorola Atrix 4G
Pantech Crossover
Samsung Captivate
Samsung Infuse 4G
That sure looks like all of AT&T’s 2011 Android line up so far, to me. Anyone spot anything that’s missing?

Motorola posts Atrix 4G's Android 2.3 upgrade, adds 1080p
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMotorolaGoogleAndroid 2.3ATRIX 4G
Motorola gave Atrix 4G owners a treat at the end of the week by posting its Android 2.3 update. The update brings both the performance, polish, and interface updates of 2.3 itself as well as updates to Motorola's custom tweaks, including ones that haven't shown on other Motorola Android 2.3 revisions. Among the surprises is an upgrade to 1080p movie playback that helps it compete even with newer phones.
MotoBlur has been given both core and secondary updates. The UI layer now has an iPhone-style app dock, notifications can be cleared one at a time, and the app tray is now sortable. Media gets a lift through a gallery app that now aggregates more online and offline sources, and the music play...

International Atrix unlocked bootloader uncovered, hackers around the globe rejoice
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
That Atrix unlocked bootloader that leaked last month had one nagging limitation -- it was only for the AT&T version of Motorola's dual-core device. Now, thanks to the tireless folks who haunt the XDA forums, all of our international friends rockin' the laptop-dockable handset will soon be free of Moto's chains. Project Cheesecake, as the quest was known, has dug up files from a forthcoming Orange UK firmware upgrade that can be applied to any Atrix across the globe. That means even our impatient neighbors to the north on Bell will be able to get in on the unlocking action early. If you can't wait for Motorola to officially get the update out the door, just keep an eye out at the source and ...

Motorola releases ATRIX clone for the Chinese market
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
Motorola has announced a new smartphone for the Chinese market that borrows heavily from its existing ATRIX design for AT&T. The MT870 is a dual-core powered device with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Motorola's custom, don't-call-it-MOTOBLUR, interface.
The MT870 has the same 4-inch, qHD (540 x 960 pixel) display as the ATRIX, and each core of the processor runs at 1GHz, just like the ATRIX. The camera on the MT870 has been upgraded to record 1080p HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) video, though Motorola did not specify the resolution of the still shots. Eight gigabytes of internal storage is included to store all those HD videos you record, and there is a microSD slot capable of supporting up to 32GB ca...

Amazon has done it again. They’ve slashed prices generously as only they have been known to do, and this time it’s for the Motorola Atrix 4G, the Samsung Infuse 4G, and the LG Revolution. If you’ve been pining for one of these powerful 4G LTE smartphones, now’s the time take action. Amazon is dropping prices to as low as $0.01!
Amazon has dropped pricing to $89.99 for the Samsung Infuse 4G, which currently retails from the AT&T website for $199.99 with a two-year contract.

Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, Updated Motoblur UI Headed To Motorola Atrix 4G Next Month
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMotorolaGoogleAndroid 2.3ATRIX 4G
For those of you who own the Motorola Atrix 4G, you know that it does all kinds of cool things. For one, it turns into a little laptop when you clip it into its corresponding laptop dock. It’s also the first dual-core smartphone to launch in the U.S., so it was the trend-setter of snappiness, if you will. One thing the Atrix 4G doesn’t do, however, is run Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, at least not until next month. That’s right Atrix owners, you’re in for a real Gingerbread treat.
Motorola will release the latest version of the Motoblur UI alongside the OTA update, which should fix some of the kinks in the interface. Sometimes heavy skins like the Motoblur UI ruin the fun of an OS update becaus...

Hulu Plus for Android is available now... for six devices

The good news is that Hulu Plus for Android is on the market, but the bad news is that you may not be able to install it yet. The official Hulu Blog has just been updated with news that six phones -- Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Droid II, Motorola Droid X, and the Motorola Atrix -- are on the compatible list with "additional device announcements" due later in the year. While there's some crossover with the list of Netflix-compatible devices, it's hardly complete and many flagship phones are still missing.
