Motorola Cliq Update Details

cliqupdate

Update: Users are reporting an error when attempting to download the update, stating that the update has been “recalled.” We do not have any more information at this time but we’ll post an update when we do!

Update 2: Motorola has tweeted that the update is rolling out!

For some of you, the pain and agony of waiting for the Motorola Cliq update has proved to be too much.  For those of you still patiently waiting, Motorola has put up a support page indicating just what is included in the 1.3.18 software. There isn’t a lot here we don’t know.  If you are eagerly awaiting improvements to your Cliq, this page might make you antsy for the update.  Either way, the update is expected to begin rolling out today.  We hope that all of you will receive it soon and have happiness and joy for the new year!

    Isn’t this the second time? Next OTA update I’m giving it a day or two and leaving it up to you guys… lol

    I think an incomplete/recalled update would be a bigger nightmare than waiting even longer!

  • randy

    Woke up this morn in phx,az about 5:45 had the pop up on my screen went to download and got recalled… r u kidding me? Moto get your act together…

  • newwwwb

    Well I got the notification again for update available and clicked download. It seems to be downloading, no recall yet and its been about 30 mins. I guess if its a large file its gonna take a while. We’ll see what happens. :/

  • Jason

    i got it again and nothing happened again hit download and nothing dont know what the deal is

  • Jack

    At least we Cliq owners can commiserate about our step-child status. After a recalled update attempt last night, my phone now claims to be “…up to date! No update necessary” despite still running 1.1.31. I really feel like a second-class android citizen, regretting buying moto.

  • tmoFan

    So far in the Mid West, Indianapolis IN, no signs of any update yet. Hope it will happen any time now.

  • Steve

    I downloaded the 2nd RECALLED update…honestly my phone is more sluggish and battery life has gotten worse. My thing is.. now what? You can’t flash the ROM like on HTC devices.. am I screwed till the heavens open up and we actually get 2.1?! I guess I could do a handset exchange but that seems kind of extreme.. ugh! so annoying.. and the thing was.. when I check for updates and ‘got it’ I had no idea that it wasn’t supposed to be a released or buggy version.. ..there are more important things to worry about.. but it’s just annoying..

  • newwwwb

    Well after my second notification of update available earlier, my phone didnt do anything for about an hour, and has now given me the udpate notification again. Silly moto……what the hell is going on over there.

    Richard here in South Texas just got the update early this morning and I have noticed overall better performance! Very satisfied!

  • Ricardo

    Everything updated. I’m now on 1.3.18. In Brooklyn, NY. The download started last night but i’m willing to bet that because my battery was under 50 %, it waited before i received the go ahead to install.
    So far:
    The phone is noticably more responsive. Switching from screen to screen with open home is snappy. Pressing on the dock tab, it immediatly pops up.
    Imeem is gone.
    Jewels plays better with the update.
    The VK seems to be better in terms of sensitivity.
    The Gps does kick in a bit faster.
    Manage Sim Caard program is ok.
    Message symbol in notification bar looks different.

    Haven’t tried WMA’s and WMV’s on it yet.
    Overall the greatest improvement has to be snappyness. I’m a heavy user so
    i noticed the improvements immediately.

  • TMoEmployee

    I got the update this morning, but upon trying to download it, a message popped up saying that it was recalled.

    Moto Rolled.

  • Jonathan

    The update has only been “recalled” meaning they have pulled it from the servers temporarily and are getting ready for the next wave. READ THE MOTOROLA SUPPORT FORUMS BEFORE WHINING LIKE SPOILED LITTLE GIRLS!

  • Jonathan

    In other words: You missed the window to download the update… However, you could find it available again today or later in the week. Be patient and enjoy!

  • Brian

    Woke up to a “recall” message in Peoria, Arizona:-( No update!

  • muda

    i got mine update last night..it works nicely. battery is good. I’m located in Austin, TX

  • muda

    I also noticed alot of responsiveness. Much faster and has more memory free. The touchscreen is a bit more responsive especially in the text situation. Very easy to type with the on screen keyboard. Woot. I love my Cliq.

  • Suarez

  • Jay

    My Moto Cliq is FINALLY downloading the new OTA update from Akron Ohio over my 3G network….This is the 4th or 5th time I’ve tried to download it but this is the first time that the download arrow and progress bar actually showed up in the notification panel on the top of my phone….It just finished downloading after about 4 minutes which is pretty good!…..The download hung at 99% for about a minute and now I was asked to install or wait till later….Hope it installs properly….The phone restarted and is now installing with a yellow progress bar on the bottom of the phone…Hope this helps for verification of anyone else going through the same download problems…Hope the new features are great and bring on 2.1 MOTO!

  • Word

  • http://dmkjr.net David

    Charleston, South Carolina — I’m downloading it now.

  • http://dmkjr.net David

    I’m at work, no 3g available here and it’s been downloading for about 6 minutes already. It’s progressing, but very slowly. Take notice of their notice to download over wifi or 3g, it will save you time and battery life.

  • Jason

    hell if all that is wrong is the date and time i would call that far from a paper waight…. just me talkin its really up to you. happy with mine cant really tell that much diff. its all good though like the sim card app

  • rdeleon774

    I did a manual search in settings to get the update and bam it worked. Downloaded and installed. Phone works better in touch screen responsiveness but I’m disappointed because quickoffice does not let you create documents like it says in the release notes and all google apps are still older version and not newer versions like noted. However new feature in settings under applications section to double click on home button to launch predefined app. Cool.

  • smiley

    i don’t really understand all the heat this update is generating.. this isn’t going to change your phone that noticeably… the 2.1 update is the one everyone should be crying about. i got the update today and everything is just as it was. (now that i think about it the batt seems to have gone down a little more than usual, even after having it plugged in for the d/l and install)

    • herksc

      This is normal. As far as i can tell, the update fixes the battery life reading and actually allows the battery to charge more, thus giving it a higher capacity, and thus initially dropping the percentage charged after update.

  • Rex

    I’m too scared to trust them and download it again… I’ve been hurt before lol

  • Tim

    wat does the new message notification icon look like?????????

  • Tish

    JUST STARTED THE UPDATE HERE IN FT LAUDERDALE FL GOT 3G HOPES IT INSTALLS FAST
