I am still on 2.3.1 also. Had the phone for almost a month.

My old one didn't update from 2.3.
Manually updated to CM7 now...

I've looked on the Google blog but not seen notification of a OTA update being blocked to 2.3.2,I'm aware of the issues regarding 2.3.3 can anyone further this topic.

I, too, have a slight problem with this. I bought the SNS a week ago, it came with 2.3. It found the update to 2.3.1, updated OTA. But that was all. Didn't find any 2.3.2, not to mention 2.3.3. So, I manually did an update from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2. I didn't want to continue with 2.3.3 because of the issues with the color corrections in that update. Plus, it doesn't really change anything else important. Nothing bad has happened after the manual install, but I am still curios, why is it that the OTA's weren't present on my device, as well as others here on the forum ?

I'm also on the 2.3.1 since I got the phone but I haven't had any reboot issues nor any other problems with it. One thing I wanted to ask everyone here who bought the phone from BestBuy is did you all get the phone in an open box?

Yeah that's weird cause I have read about other people getting their brand new Nexus S phones from BestBuy in unsealed boxes. Even the unboxing videos on youtube show the Nexus S from BB stores coming in unsealed boxes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjwfWCyBuCs

Possible QC improvement by HTC? Latest MT4G's have 2.2.1!

I received a black MT4G two days ago. FIrst thing I did when I took it out of the box was check for any type of faults. No wobbly battery door, sand in the paint, crooked cam, dust under the screen to report and it also came with the latest OTA update pre-installed! Has HTC possibly improved the QC on the latest batches of MT4G's?
It was probably a demo or somebody returned that device. I just picked up a replacement this morning and it has 2.2, waiting for the ota.
Yeah I work in a cell phone store.... I'd almost guarantee you got the device all the employees have been test driving for more than a week now.... but if it makes you happy that what counts...

LoL, nope! I got the phone by ordering from T-Mobile on the phone. It came sealed and in mint condition so I HIGHLY doubt it was used by employees. One other person claimed to also have the latest update on his newly received MT4G.
Hmmm curiouser and curiouser....

BTW, I know this is going to sound crazy but I noticed that the display on my new MT4G isn't as washed out as the first MT4G I owned. There's another owner on these forums claiming the exact same thing.
Sorry for the noob question but how do I know if I have the newest software or have to wait for the OTA. I looked under settings, phone, then software and it reads Android 2.2. Is this the latest software? Or does it have to read 2.2.1? I got the phone brand new two weeks ago.

OTA Updates available for root users.

Does anyone know if rooting will stop OTA updates from being sent to the Atrix?

You shouldnt have any problem with the OTA update when rooted. You will lose root though when you install this update that is coming.

You'll get the option it just fails during install. And aroot and deodex doesn't interfere with the update

If your deodexed it will interfere with the update. You need the .odex files for it to complete the check for the update to be approved.

Wrong, I have webtop mod. I still got the update notification two days ago (I volunteered for beta test). I didn't actually update so I don't know if the update will go through or fail after the webtop mod.
supposedly there is issues with the update and rooted users? can anyone confirm or deny this?

Sorry I wasn't clear when I said it stop the update I didn't mean it would stop it from downloading it stops it from installing. Webtop mod causes update to fail during install. A couple of posts up umm (sorry I don't know your name you've commented on my posts before) the poster with the new York name said that being deodexed would also cause the update to fail. I can't confirm or deny this but that might be true as its a major change just like the webtop mod is.

Wrong. This doesn't cause any major problems, you simply lose root. There is currently no method of rooting if you update, save flashing back to 1.2.6 or 1.5.2.
I assume this is consistant with all Atrix owners. I've just GladRoot my Bell Atrix, but only so I can use setcpu. I have not modded anything else.
So, hopefully (one day) Bell might update their version of the Atrix, although its not looking good right now

Just a curiosity considering you're from Aussie Land...why did you get the Bell Atrix vs. the AT&T one? Since modding or romming wise, the Bell doesn't have much going on for it due to no SBF

There were 2 reasons
1) I was in Canada at the time skiing around the day of release (17th March), needed a phone that worked on the right bands (my T-Mobile Nexus S didn't work at all) and happened to go past a Bell store while I was grocery shopping that had them in stock for $599. So I got it and had it unlocked in store.
2) Wanted one without the AT&T branding
All in all, I probably should have gone the AT&T version. I didnt know that Bell was so crap releasing updates. Modding wise, I wasn't fussed there was no SBF. I actually don't mind the phone because it has less bloatware on it from what I have seen.
I'm happy to just have root, and it plays the games that I use with absolute smooth operation. Overall, apart from the lack of updates, I'm stoked with it.
All I get is the android guy with the "!" When I attempt the update. Anyone else get this?

Well you did end up getting a nice phone. But just an FYI for the next time you're in Canada that the Nexus S(Tmo) will work on 2 carriers, Wind and Mobilicity, as both use the HSPA 1700 frequency. Only negative is that they are currently only have towers in major metro cities.

just got mine last week with 30% off on a deal. sweet thing, works perfectly
Don't upgrade to 3.2.1. You lose the ability to root. I jumped the gun and upgraded. Bummed!
Same here. Got mine today and updated. One thing to note, within the first hour the thing rebooted and came up asking for a pin which I never set so had to factory reset it. I recommend setting a pin whether you decide to encrypt it or not.

Nexus 4 - Delayed New Google Play Store?

Hey guys,
Had my nexus a few months now and loving it.
Also have a HTC One X+ as my work phone.
Today I went to update an app on the HTC One and it received the new Google Play store?
I would have thought that the nexus 4 would have been the first phone to receive this update.
Anyone else have it (officially)? I'm in Australia, but I wouldn't think that it matters since the One X+ received it?

Hmm my Nexus 4 just got updated to new Play Store as well. Not sure if the fact it is CM10.1 affects it or not.... Singapore here anyway...
I'm also in Australian and just checked my N4 after your post to find I got the google play update today also. Have been waiting ages for that.
Yeah? I just thought that it was strange that Google didn't update their own devices before others.
Although it could just be a whole play store update regardless of device manufacturer.
P.s- I personally think that it looks like a bit of a downgrade? Very plain
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
I got my update yesterday and I can't get rid of it if I install the update it just reinstalls itself.
Google have taken all the bad from the old version and enhanced it, it's now 'super' jerky instead of a little. Then all the good from the old version has been thrown out and replaced with giant icons letting you see only 4-6 apps at a time. Google never learn.
Hold on to the older version for as long as you can.

Google would never do that. If there are issues they will fix them and continue rolling it out. Play Store updates can take a long time to roll out and seemingly random (not based on hardware being used).

I'm not basing the fact on bugs or issues, just purely on the fact that it looks like a downgrade compared to the old one (old now).
The old one looked very nice, mature and pleasant on the eyes.
This new one looks like its been made for (possibly by) pre-schoolers. So simple and the complete opposite of intriguing.

I think the play store is one of things that just gets sent out for update, I don't think the nexus has any priority over other device when it comes to it.
Is this the new Google play store you all talking about? If so then I've had this for over a two weeks.

Got my update on 4/9
Nexus gets Android updates first not Play updates. With 1.5 million activations per day and all those devices carrying a Play Store, imagine how many
devices Google needs to update.
To reduce load on their servers, they update devices in batches.

Hit the nail on the head i wonder why Google even rolled an update to Play. It looked far more sexy earlier making you want to click on featured apps. The new one sucks imo.

System updates is not available.

When going to do the KitKat update after freshly sbf'ing to stock I am greeted with a prompt(when I go to settings>about phone>system update) that says the following; "System updates is not available without a Motorola service account". It asks me if I want to set up an account and when I try it just has a spinning circle that never goes away. I am on 9.30.1. I have tried a factory reset multiple times with no success. Any ideas on a fix?
Perhaps someone will pull the official update from their cache and you could apply in the same manner as the soak test leak

I do! I even had the phone into the Verizon store today and they played with it for about an hour (near as I can tell, they didn't do anything I hadn't already tried). The consensus was that I needed a new phone, so they are going to overnight a new phone out to me.

They asked for my IMEI, I gave it to them and they told me they could tell i was rooted(which is funny because I'M ACTUALLY NOT ) and that the Motorola servers don't push updates to rooted phones. makes me question a lot because when i was actually rooted i got the update, but now that i'm not i don't?
