The Atrix 4G is today an eminently more intriguing smartphone than it was yesterday. Leaked code from Motorola’s upcoming Gingerbread update for the handset has made its way into the hands of the always-eager coders at xda-developers , which has resulted in two things: one, the discovery that Motorola intends to unlock the Atrix’s bootloader when it upgrades it to Android 2.3, and two, downloadable files to let you do exactly that today , even if you’re still stuck on Froyo. Moto users have been pleading for this change for a long time and Motorola did pledge to make it happen across its portfolio of devices, but it comes as a mild (and happy) surprise to see this change being effected retroactively. Check the links below to see how you can unchain your phone’s bootloader if you can’t wait for the official software to drop.

June 4th, 2011 jedwan Inspire is a nice phone, and if you’ve been an HTC fan for this long (like me) you might want to keep it that way. Motorola phones have been underwhelming to me for some time now. While I haven’t handled the Atrix in person, other recent Moto phones just feel cheap, plasticky, and clunky. And I’ve read comments that the Atrix (while an improvement) is still not up to HTC’s current excellent build quality. Samsung makes pretty nice hardware, but still not up to par with HTC as far as the phone casing (but the Samsung displays are top notch). The other rub is that Samsung software support is horrible. They are the slowest at releasing updates, and TouchWiz stinks compared to Sense (as does Moto Blur). If you read around, the Galaxy S series (including the Captivate) has had a ton of software problems which cause UI lag and poor GPS reception. Not sure if there are any issues like this with the new Infuse. But you might want to investigate it, if you are interested in that device. Plus, if developer support like mods and custom ROMs are an interest to you, HTC devices still get the bulk of the attention.

May 24th, 2011 admin Fans of mobile banking are discovering harsh surprises after updating their Atrix 4G to v4.1.83. Amongst the numerous improvements in this release (including the widely touted HSUPA fix ), Motorola added new SSL certificates to the mix. While such a change would normally be inconsequential, many banking apps have stopped functioning with the new certificates in place — a rude shock for anyone needing to deposit a paycheck . So far, Moto confirms that American Express, Bank of America, Chase and Discover are affected — while Wells Fargo and Citibank’s apps run just fine. Motorola plans to issue a workaround for affected users, but currently suggests that everyone access their financial institution through Android’s web browser. Maybe it’s just us, but this sounds like a fine opportunity to take the new Firefox 4 for a spin.

May 1st, 2011 admin Motorola’s Atrix 4G may have some serious competition from a performance standpoint, but it’s still got one thing going for it over all of the other Android superphones hitting the streets these days: an optional laptop dock. ‘Course, it’s debatable whether or not said accessory is truly worth paying for, but the phone itself has certainly done its fair share of impressing. You’ve read our take on Motorola’s latest Android whizkid, and now it’s your turn to vent. If you had the power necessary to overhaul the Atrix 4G, how would you go about doing so? Would you nix Motoblur altogether? Toss the latest build on Android onboard? Make it available on more carriers? Handle the laptop dock differently? All ( sane ) opinions are welcome, and comments are open below. How would you change Motorola’s Atrix 4G? originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 30 Apr 2011 22:28:00 EST.

April 30th, 2011 jedwan If you’re the somewhat-proud-but-feeling-throttled owner of a Motorola Atrix 4G or HTC Inspire 4G, your days of terribly slow uploads are nearly through — following some preliminary tests , AT&T is rolling out updates that provide “increased potential data speed” to both HSPA+ handsets right on cue . The Inspire 4G’s patch will also “make the email set up process much easier,” while the Atrix 4G will actually get a pair of updates which will allegedly bring better Bluetooth headset compatibility, fingerprint reader performance and battery life (which is always a plus) as well as the questionable utility of turning the Atrix into an EDGE hotspot, and a bump to Android 2.2.2 to hopefully fix any lingering SMS routing bugs . Word of warning though, you’ll need to throw your Atrix up on a WiFi network to obtain these goodies — all the Gs in the world won’t help you.

April 28th, 2011 jedwan We’ve known AT&T intends to enable HSUPA support for its mighty Atrix soon , but if you want it now (and we mean now ), two restless XDA contributors are delivering some instant gratification for your upload woes . Today, dew.man and NFHimself released a modified radio file that allows Atrix owners to send data properly — a feat iPhone users simply take for granted. This mod requires that your device be rooted, but reactions in the forum are ranging from ecstatic to elated (and everywhere in between). Of course, you could wait for AT&T’s official release, but where’s the fun in that? Hey, it’s your phone, so take ownership already! Everything you need to know is in the source link below.
